MANILA, June 3.-The United States

co, April H. arrived here this morning
with the members of the Philippine com
mission. The members of Gen. MacAr-
thurs staff welcomed the commissioners
on board the Hancock AT noon the com
missioners landed and drove to the palace,
escorted by Gen. MacArthur's staff, a
band and two companies of the Twenty
sixth infantry, with artillery. At the
palace the commissioners were welcomed
by Gen Macarthur in a short and force
full address. After Judge William H.
Taft, president of the commission, had
replied the commissioners returned to
the Hancock, where they viii remain until
they have selected suitable dwellings on
land.
During the morning the members of the
Filipino supreme court, the local editors
and many of the leading merchants re-

GEN. GOMEZ In HAVANA
CONJECTURE AS TO WHAT HIS
VISIT is FOR.

HAVANA, June 3.-Gen. Maxine Co
mez IS expected to arrive here early to-
morrow, and preparations have been
made to receive him with hOnors. Repre-
sentatives of the Nationalist and Re
publican parties will go in different tugs,
each having a band, and various socie-
ties will also send delegations to Join in
the welcome. The motives that have in
duced him to return are the subjects of
much speculation. Many believe that
Gen. Gomez, disappointed at the attitude
taken toward him by the people of Santo
Domingo, has come back to Cuba tn en-
gage in an active campaign for the fu-
ture presidency of the Cuban republic.
1t is said his first step will be to bring
all his influence to bear towards the cleo
ton to the mayoralty of Havana of Gen.
Alexandra Rodriguez, partly for per
sonaI and partly for political considera-
tions If he can make the necessary i'm
preston upon the members of the Ma
tional party, and if the result of his in
tervention is the defeat of Senior Estrada
Mora, then the power of Gen. Gomez will
be much more generally recognized than
1t is now.
I Already his friends have issued a
statement saying that early in the week
he will attempt to consolidate the Demo-
cratic Republican and Nationalist par
ties with a view of bringing about an
enormous constitutional convention in
this city in August. The authors of this
statement contend that such conven-
ton is the only path to independence.
1t is reported that Gomez, who is at
Santo Domingo, said he was returning
to Havana to bring about the complete
and absolute independence of Cuba and
that he had such a convention in view.
It is reported that Gomez desires if
possible to be the first president of free
Cuba, but he feels there may be strong
opposition to him, because of his birth,
in which event his choice for the presi-
dency would be Carlos Cespedes, or Ale
jandro Rodriguez. Either would re-
ceive his entire support, but he would
prefer Cespedes.
The leaders of the various parties re-
ply that the principles of the organiza-
tons differ too radically to make any
combination such as Gomez proposes
practical. An intimate friend of Gomez
says that if the parties refuse to com
bine he will establish a Cuba Libre party
of his own, and endeavor to obtain a
plebiscite of the entire island, expecting
in that way to force the political leaders
TO adopt his proposal, if only in the hope
of future office.
1t is rumored that for such a purpose
Gomez has been promised funds by
number of wealthy men, including
United States senator, who is said to
have offered 100000 on certain conditions,
to which Gomez will undoubtedly agree

PARIS, June 3.-The grand steeplechaso

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The record of
the first session of the Fifty-sixth con-
gress is now practically closed, and 1t
is possible to survey the work it has ac-
complished during the last six months.
1t has been busy congress, the busiest,
according to veteran officials, in many
years. In some respects the work has
been less exciting than that of the pre-
ceding congress, which covered the dra-
matte period when war was declared
against Spain, and also the period of re-
construction and treaty making with
Spain following the successful close of
the war. But in work actually accom-
plished and started toward accomplish
ment the record of the present session
stands well.
Our territorial possessions have received
much attention, and while there has been
no definite action as to the Philippines or
Cuba a form of government and a means
of raising revenue have been provided for
Porto Rico, and comprehensive terri
torial form Of government has been given
to Hawaii. The financial act has made
changes in the laws relating to parity of
metals, the bonded indebtedness, national
banks and the security of the treasury
by gold reserve.
The Nicaraguan canal bill has passed
the house and is on the calendar of the
senate, ready for attention when congress
reconvenes. The antitrust bill is similar
ly advanced, the antitrust constitutional
amendment has a defeat recorded against
1t.
PERSONAL PHASES
The Pacific cable measure has passed
the senate and is awaiting final action
in the house.
The exclusion of Brigham H Roberts
from seat In the house because of his
polygamous status, the refusal of the
senate to admit Mr.. Quay on the appoint
ment of the governor of Pennsylvania,
and the sensational charges, investigating
and developments in the senate in the
case of Mr. Clark, of Montana, have add
ed some exciting personal phases to the
session
Investigations have been prolific, in

The total of appropriations cannot yet
be stated with exactness, as five bills
are pending, but it is approximately $780,
,00G for the session.
The senate in executive session has been
occupied to a considerable extent with
important treaties. Of these the treaties
with Great Britain and Germany, closing
the tripartite government in Samoa and
awarding to the United States the island
Of Tutula, with its valuable harbor of
Pago Pago, have been ratified, while the
commercial reciprocity treaties with
France and the British West Indian ISL

cerning the interoceanic canal, go over
without action.

GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Good taste in dress is largely a
matter of educati IN, and no lady can
afford TO neglect this. no matter what
her station in life may be. a dress
should accord with reason and good
judgment, bearing in mind that there
is such thing rs beauty of outline
of form that should be constantly
sought for and used so as to bring
out the results an artist would desire
aud appreciate. In no other way
could these results be obtained, ex-
cept by a careful education and train
ing in such matters.
There have been many attem pts
made to get a correct system whereby
all kinds of clothing could be cut for
general wear. There have been paper
charts. models, scales, folding and
sliding devices of every conceivable
kind, but none was successful.
There was no system for general use
that could Gu; anything beyond a
plain waist lining and plain sleeve
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter, which was the first.
and is today the only practical and
successful method of cutting and lit
ting all kinds of garments worn. And
again, there is not an article in
America that has been introduced
into family use that gives as much
satisfaction, saves more time, trouble
and annoyance. and what is better
still-money-than the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter.
