not prepared TO say that any Of the money
paid 10 the Spanish TO secure peace had been
appropriated by Aguinaldo to his own personal
purposes. The Fiiipinos had surrendered their
arms. He repeated that the insurrection was
Of little consequence. which led Mr.. Tiliman
to interiect the remark that it was true that

Continuing. he said that the so-called Philip

invaded Manila was not such as TO command
recognition, had been asserted was due.

and II would have been absurd for to
attempt to recognize that which was alleged
10 be such 1t WIS idle to say that Agun-
aldo had conquered the Spaniards; he had
only conquered where there resist
ance. His warfare had been predatory one.
But for the arrival of Dewey Aguinaldo would
have remained in Hong Kong. and the Fill
pinos but for that event would be still subjects
of Spain. Hence there had been conquest
of the Philippine people; the conquest had been
q conquest of Spain only. and the taking of the
islands had been in the interest Of the Fill
pinos themselves.

the Treaty of Paris was proclaimed. Action might
have been taken by the committee at this ses-
sion had 1t not been for the discovery or the pos
tai frauds IN Cuba the arrest in the United states
Of c. w F. Neely. of the alleged criminals and
the profound anxiety in Congress to throw all pos
sibe safeguards around the administration or
Cubas fiscal and other affairs by the authorities OF
the United States in that island While everybody
hopes that frauds may not exist in other branches
of the service elsewhere than in Cuba, there is
a strong and growing sentiment in favor OF such
thorough and searching Investigations as Will as
certain the actual facts, and stern determination
to bring to trial and punishment any official or
agent of the Government, high or low, who may
have been guilty of offences similar to that of
which Neely and his confederates In Cuba stand
accused. There is no reason to doubt that the
House of Representatives and the Senate also will
promptly pass the proposed amendments, with or
without modification.
These amendments in the nature of provisos
to several sections of the Revised Statutes of the
United States. Section $40 is amended by adding
thereto the following:
Provided, That whenever any foreign country or or
United States any person who shall violate or who

the laws in force in the place where such offence
committed.
All the provisions of Section $40 5277 of this
title. so far practicable, shall govern proceedings
authorized by this proviso.
Provided. further That such proceedings shall he

United States only who shall hold such person on

A TRADITION EXPLODED.
Here l. an Extraordinary YOUNG
Woman who Ii Actually Fond
of Dissectins Mice.

The epopular belief that all women are
afraid of mice has been exploded, says
the Philadelphia Record. There is
young woman visiting prominent
Conshohocken family who actually
boasts Of her fondness for not only
mice, but rats. The hostess remarked
the other day that her life was made
miserable by the hordes of rats and
mice that infested her cellar.
"Oh, let me go down and see them,"
exclaimed this remarkable young wom-
an. I'D like to catch one and dissect
il, so you can see what a cute little
heart it has" The hostess was horror
stricken and begged to know what her
guest knew of dissection.
IN tell YOU" was the reply. when
at boarding school we had SUCH dear
old professor. He used TO give us many
interesting and entertaining lessons.
For instance, he would get q rat, run
his sharp knife around its neck, and
presto! the hide was removed, tail and
all Then he would cut up the remains
and point out the various organs. With
a little instruction any of us girls could
perform the operation, and we soon
enjoyed it. tell you, there was such
a demand for subjects that the school
was soon rid Of rats and mice"

WHEN NO WOMAN IS LOVELY.
The Unsightly Way in Which She
Grabs Her skirt and
Holds ID Up.

The fattering theory that women
really care how they appear to men
who are looking at them sometimes
gets a hard knock, says the New York
Press. One of these times is when a
woman who is walking along the street
makes motion with her hand which,
in Kentucky or Texas, would, If made
by a man, be interpreted as a reach for
a revolver in the hip pocket. But as
women apparently have no hip pockets
the woman's motion is for the purpose
OS helding up her skirts SO that 1t win
not disturb the microbes that are
crawling in the dirt on the sidewalk.
As she walks along with this hip
pocket hand firmly gripped on her
skirt she reminds the average man of
embarrassing mo ments In the mascu-
line past, say when O suspender button
rendered its resignation and he had to
hold up his trousers as he went along.
Il is a constant wonder that some
Worth who looks after the looks OF
women does not invent skirt sus-
pender or something by which in the
hour Of need the skirt might be osten-
tationsly hoisted above the danger
level. If the woman were in the coun-
try she might wear her rainy daisy
skirt when she walked in dry weather.
But are vegetable things, like hayseed,
any more harmful than the bacteria OF
the dirty payements?

HORSE FOR A WOMAN.
Man who Knows Gives Some Advice
Which Is Worthy of
David Harum.

The following advice given by
horseman TO a woman about TO pur-
chase a pony for her own use is worthy
of David Harum, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser: "Never allow
a dealer to talk you into buying
horse you do not like. If you do not
like him say so at once, and if you can
help IL do not assign any reason for say
ing 50. Always talk as little as you
can about horses when you are pur-
chasing them. Talk of the weather.
anything else you like-but if you
don't know much about horses be as
silent as you can. The dealer may
probably imagine you know more than
you really do"
The woman in question thought she
would like a coal black horse, or per-
haps one of "dappled gray" like the
pony in the nursery song. The horse
man grew eloquent: "a good horse
cannot be of a bad color" he said. "And
horse of bad color Is never a good
horse. A weakly watery color indi-
Gates want of stamina. Black is about
the most undesirable of coats for
horse. Black horses are nearly always
soft and delicate and slow. The dane
ing, prancing, dashing black horse of
poems and pictures is a steed of the
imagination, or the great exception
that proves the rule. Gray is q good
color, although few gray horses have
made names for themselves on the
turf. Roam is good, too, I'm spite of the
fact that thoroughbreds are seldom, if
ever, of that color. For pony, dun
color, mottled with black points, is
handsome and usually denotes hardy,
sound constitution. In horses of any
size dun is a rare color. Chestnut
horses are the most excitable and are
often delicate. Sorrel-which is chest
nut and browns good, but seldom
seen nowadays. Bay is the commonest
of all colors, and when combined with
black points is about as good as any
color. For hardness of constitution
and q combination of good qualities,
good dark brown is the best color OF
all; if there is rich, tan-colored muz-
zle so much the better"

which, when it has its full sway, will
leave nothing for our world to want or
