The issue in the next U. S. senatorial
campaign in South Dakota will be we'll
defined. Lieut.. Col. Lee Slower of the
South Dakota volunteersks a candidate
against Senator Pettigrew, and the gage
of battle was thrown down in a Lincoln
day address by Col. Slower on the Phil
ippine question. Regarding the claim of
Senator Pettigrew and others that the
Tagalos were recognized as allies, and
that we, in violation of all civilized war
fare, fred upon them and are now trying
to destroy them, the speaker said:
"At that time Aguinaldo had his head
quarters in Cavite, and there was every
communication between the officers and
troops of the different commands. The
Filipino troops, as we'll as their officers,
were quartered at Cavite, within our
line. / met General Luna, afterwards
ass~assinated by A%guinaldo's personal
guard, and I distinctly recollect his ask
ing me, in the course of our conversation,
if America would hold the islands. He
said then that the hope and wish of the
.Tagalos was that America would hold
the islands, remove the Spanish and de-
stroy the power of the church and give
the Filipino people a chance to live under
American rule. Nothing whatever was
said about a republic. The question of
self-government never was mentioned.
The only fear he seemed to have was that
we would give the islands back to Spain.
Before we left Cavite, I met General Ag-
uinaldo. I had more or less conversa-
ton with him, and never was the subject
of a Filipino republic mentioned; never
was there a hope or wish expressed as to
the future of their race, other than that
the United States would hold the
islands"
Paying his respects to Aguinaldo, he
said:
II have personally seen and examined
a copy of A%guinaldo's proclamation, is,
sued at this time (Feb. 4, 1899. ordering
his troops to kill every white face in the
city, to spare no one, not even the Chi
nese, promising his troops that they
should loot the city and divide all the
foreigners property among themselves
SO far, I have yet to find the first Officer
or soldier who served in the American
army in the islands but that feels it is
personal insult to him, to his uniform
and his flag, when any man says that W.
started the fighting, that we provoked
it, or that it was anything but intentiona
and premeditated on the part of Agui
naldo and his troops.

A Liberal Offer.

"A AAUCIdl 0uCIs -.
The Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading it's popularity is the best proof of
its as%cendency.
What che Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twice-a-Week edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune,
is, to all intents and purposes, the farm
er's daily It is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest. D..
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
engagements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made. .7
If you are now a subscriber for the
Tribune we will send you The Farmers
Tribune (twice-a-week) with your paid
in-advance renewal of subscription to
the paper. You thus get the two papers
for SLIPS. No stronger inducement
could be offered.
The same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage of this
offer. It will not be continued long.
You cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in your sub.
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
get with it The Farmers Twice-a-Week
Tribune free.

Every years developments seem to
Justify the assertion that this is a 'sbil-
lion-dollar country" The year 1899
brought our foreign for the
first time past the two billion dollar line,
and the month of February, 1900, shows
our money in circulation for the first
time as more than two billion dollars.
Thus by a curious coincidence the an
nouncement of two billions of foreign
commerce and two billions of money in
circulation are made within a single
month, the totals indicating chat the two
billion dollar line had been crossed in
our commerce for 1899, having been only
completed by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics of January IA, while the Treas
ury Bureau of Loans and currency on
February l announced that the total
money in circulation had also crossed
the two billion dollar line, while gold and
gold certificates alone had crossed the
eight hundred million dollar line. The
total foreign commerce for the year 1899
was S2,O74 ,345,2 42, while the total money
in circulation on Feb. l, 1900, was
S2,OO3, 149, 1856.

Never before in the history of Bis
marck and Burleigh county have taxes
been paid so promptly as those of 1899
the receipts in January eclipsing any
previous month slice the organization
of the county. The wisdom of compro-
missing and adjusting all old taxes-some
extending back to the boom days of in.
fated values-was a wise move. The
delinquencies hereafter promise to be
few and the financial condition of the
county correspondingly satisfactory.

The Inner Self,

The Inner Self.
There is an inner temple of thy heart
From all the world apart.
Close locked, and barred and bolted
heavily,
Thou hast alone the key.
No human eye may sec, no heart may
share
The mysteries of there.
Tho Oh the door the knockers noisy din
None find an entrance in.
Sometimes into the temple thou makes1
way,
A little while to stay.
Thy outer garments cast away, apart,
Thy real self then thou art.

BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY Is 1900.

ce in February, 1895. American inter
vention occurred in April, 1898. Ameri-
occupation began January l, 1899. The
figures of this shocking mortality are
reached officially, 1t is known that Spain
sent to Cuba to crush the revolution
2 5000 soldiers. Capt. Walter B. Barker
had charge of the repatriation of Cuban
soldiers from Santiago and Ceinfuegos
after the c~apitulation. From Santiago
he shipped to Spain 763 officers, 20,974
soldiers, 213 priests and 7O6 women and
children. These included the garrisons
brought from Manzanillo, Guantanamo,
Baracoa and Sagua de Tanamo, as we'll
as the troops surrendered to Shafter at
Santiago. From Ceinfuegos Capt. Bark
er shipped S04 officers and 22,96O men
The total shipped from Santiagoan and c.
infuegos was 1851. Repatriation was
from only two other ports of Cuba. From
Havana the Spanish troops embarked
for Spain numbered $1,000 and from Ma
tanzas 10000. The best obtainable fig
ures show that during the three years of
revolution Spain sent home 5000 SOL
diers, incapacitated for duty. The total
army losses to Spain therefore were be-
tween 10000 and 125,oO0. Capt Barker
was the consul at Sagua la Grande dur
the period of the revolution and only
left Cuba when war was declared between
the United States and Spain. He has
been watching the progress of the census
and says: I think that the census when
completed, will indicate that 100000
Cubans lost their lives in the three years.

VALUE OF THE PESO.
Porto Rican Coin Fixed at Sixty
Cents.

A Treasury official who has been anaIyz-
ing the change to be made in the money
system of Porto Rico calls attention to the
amusing side of the transfer. For five
years. he said, the Spanish peso in cir
culation in Porto Rico has averaged in
value about 60 cents. When the United
States took charge that value was placed
on the peso although il was not then worth
so much When Congress passed the Porto
Rican bill few days ago 1t decided to re-
tire all the metal money on the island and
TO replace it with American money. The
price Of GD cents was fixed for exchange
purposes as the value OF the peso, which is
TO be brought here and recoined. Although
We give 60 cents for the peso, it Is really
worth only about 40 cents as silver when
coined. We have. therefore. given the Porto
Ricans or lost to ourselves 20 cents on each
tD cents. But the funniest part of it all Is
that We take the peso, bring it here melt
it up and add some alloy worth only few
cents. and make that peso into silver dol
lar, backed by the name and credit Of the
United States. The peso goes back to Porto
Rico labeled 81, and the people there ac-
Cept it as such"

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ASKS FOR
S3OO,o0O FOR NEW BUILDING.
Appears Before House Committee and
Gives Reasons for the Needs
Price of Material.

Attorney General Griggs appeared before
the House committee public buildings
and grounds today and made plea FOR an
additional appropriation of s9O0,000 for the
new building for the Department of JUS
uce. This sum, ne said, would be necessary
by reason of the increase in the cost of
building material and to furnish and finish
the building in a style commensurate with
the dignity of the proposed structure.
The Attorney General briefly reviewed the
history of his operations under the act Of
Congress authorizing the construction of
the building. He said that he had taken
up the work in accordance with the terms
of the act, and had submitted propositions
for designs. This had resulted in the selec-
tion of the design of Mr.. Post of New York
He had then, he said, sent notice to
twelve leading contractors of the country
and invited bids for the construction Of the
building. Eight contractors had responded
with bids.
Chairman Mercer asked the Attorney Gen.
eral If these contractors had any knowledge
That others had been called upon to submit
bids.
The Attorney General replied that the
transaction had been separately conducted
with each one: He had learned afterward
that some of the contractors We're aware of
the bidding, but he was satisfied there had
been no collision.
Need for Another Appropriation.
Ihe Attorney General then proceeded to
describe the changed conditions which have
arisen since the passage of the original
act, the great increase in the cost of all
Kinds of building material and furniture
IL would be Impossible, he said, to put up
the building now for the amount originally
fixed
Furthermore. said the Attorney General,
II is not desired to make this an ordinary
once building for the mere housing of en-
ployes- The new Department of Justice
ought TO be on a par with other public
buildings. 1t should not compare unfayor-
ably with the Treasury Department, just
across the way, and there ought to be
certain harmony between them.
His idea, he said would be to decora n,
and furnish the building on the plan of
the new Library of Congress, and to mako
thlS structure an ornament to the city and
credit to the government.
FOR his part, he would like to have au-
thorlty TO condemn the remainder of the
square facing Pennsylvania avenue and up
10 10Th street, so that plenty of room could
be furnished for the structure, This w0uId
take in the Riggs property and would af-
tord site for a magnificent edifce
But. aside from such an enlargement of
the original project, he felt that sgpo.ooO
would not be too much. in addition to the
SLVr'"o1 already appropriated, to ask in
orutr 10 enable him to go ahead with the
work as it is now laid out
This closed the hearing and the Attorr.v
General departed with the assurance Of
the chairman that the committee. Would
take his presentation of the ease uodar
consideration.

PROTECTION TO MoToRME.
House District Committee Fayors Ees-
tibuled Street Cars,

The report of the House District commit
tee on the street car vestibule bill has been
submitted to the House, as follows:
The purpose of this legislation is to Sc
cure protection from the inclemency of the
weather for street railway employees in the
District of Columbia during the colder
months of the year. BY this bill all street
railway companies in the District are re-
quired to provide the platforms of all mo-
tor cars with proper and sufficient in
closure to protect the employees from need
less exposure to the wind and incleme ncfes
of the weather. A few of the suburban
lines and one downtown line now have in
use vestibuled cars, but the purpose of this
legislation Is to make the VeStibuling of
motor cars general throughout the District.
Inc city OF Washington has splendid
system of street railways and they are
patronlZed most generously. The railway
companies have been ambitious TO adopt
the best and latest improved methods of
transportation and have succeeded The
companies are rewarded for this enterprise
by large and growing business Thous-
ands OF tourists visit Washington annually
and most Of them contribute literally to
the Golfers of the different railway comma
nies The government has been very lib
efal IN granting franchises and other con-
cessions. and your committee insists that
the employees who do the hard and danger
Gus work required by street railway COM
panies should have generous protection.
Many OF the larger cities in America
nave required that the protection afforded
by this bill be given to street railway en-
ployes, and the capital of the republic
should rather lead than follow all other
cities when there is an opportunity to
ameliorate the hardships of labor. Both
Richmond and Baltimore ne:ghboring
cities, enforce the of vestibuled cars,
ana the tine is not far distant when no
other kind of cars will be in use during
the winter months of the year.
Your committee has been the recipient
OF communications from all sections of
washington asking for this legislation. and
the bill has been :ndorsed by organizations
in the city which have had their attention
called to the same. In the interest of hu-
manity justice and good service your COM
mittee respectfully recommends that the
bill do pass
