KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

The Grand Lodge Knights of Pyth-
las OF Virginia will meet in Winchester
on the 9th. Among the most promi-
nent matters to be considered is that OF
instituting in the State branch OF the
order for ladies.
The report of Grand Chancellor Re-
bert Cstlett is expected to show the
greatest increase 10 membership in the
history OF the order. An effort is to be
made 10 have tho basis of representa-
ton changed from one delegate 10 each
lodge, with membership less than a
hundred, so that every lodge wi more
than hundred mem Ders is to be allow
ed an additional delegate for fraction
of fifty members or more. There is on
foot movement to have supreme rep
resentative eligible for only one term,
not to succeed himself.
The Grand Lodge will also pass upon
the question of holding sessions bier
rially instead of annually, as now. The
reason for this is obvious. The Su.
preme Lodge meets only bienDially,
and it is claimed that the best interests
of the order are subserved by as little
legislation as possible.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
Washington, February 20
Mr.. Prouty, member of the intersta e
commerce commission, spoke before
the Senate interstate commerce CON
mission this morning 10 regard to Sens-
tor Cullom's bill amending materially
the statutes and regulations applying
to rates of transportation. MIR. Prouty
candidly admitted that court decisions
had psrslyzsd the power of the CON-
missio Speaking as an individual b
said it would De better if the preset
law and the com mission were W pei
out. Then the people would see tina
an effective law was passed. The con-
mission, no added, was merely advis,
nv In it's aid to the public. He though
some relief could De obtained by the
passage of the pending bill. Senator
Tillmsn piled the witness with que.
tions and the Senator put in some testi-
mony of his own against the railroad.
by asserting that rates on his water
melons from South Carolina wer
double those charged on bulky freiehl
back to southern points, and the re-
suit was he obtained little or no profit
on either watermeons or cotton.
In the Couer d'Alene investigation
this morning Mr.. Robertson, Spokane
attorney, who applied for writ of he
beas corpus for the county commission
or of Shoshone county, and who figured
for the defense in the Corcorsn and
other cases, explained the topography
of Shoshone county and the Couer
d'Alene mining region. He explained
conditions at the Bunker Hill and
other mines 10 April, 1899 He
recited the story of grievances that
led to the disturbances of April
20, the blowing up of the mines
and the killing of Smith and Shane
Stinson and Boyle, two of three county
commissioners, had been arrested.
without authority, turned over to the
military and confined in the bull-pen.
Robertson asked Judge Mayhem for
writ of babeas corpus. 1t was denied
and tie case went to the Supreme
Court. with the same result, it being
neld that the governors proclamation
of May 8 virtually suspended the writ
of habeas corpus. The question is now
pending in the United States Supreme
Court on appeal.

TIE PRECEDENT phrases face each
other in marked contrast, for what was
"criminal aggression" a year ago, Is
now benevolent assimilation" But
the people of the conquered provinces
don't understand the English language
and those at home only laugh at the
difference between now and then, aud
at the facility with which circumstances
alter cases. Indeed with such oppoT-
tupities as are afforded Mr.. Mckinley by
the people over whom he rules the
only thing that is surprising about him
ia his moderation.

1t is not only doubtful today whether
the new British treaty for the Nicara-

responsibility for it and would repudl-
ate it if his "grest and good friend,
Secretary Hay, were not one of its me-
gotiatOrs. The fate OF the canal bill

VIII ether Porto Rico and the Philippines
had become integral parts OF the
Uoited States or whether separate
and distinct customs and internal rev
enue laws could be imposed. He
spoke of the Spanish war as the "most
brilliant" war in the history OF the
country and declared that he approved
with his whole heart the cession Of the
Philippines to this country as the only
proper thing that could have been done
as result of that war. He did not
Join in the dark forebodinRs of the
democrats because of their acquisition.
The constitution OF the United States
was "broad and elastic" enough to en-
able US to control the inhabitants of
these islands and give them q higher
civilization than they have heretofore
enjoyed without iDjuring in the least
the integrity of our domestic iD-
stitulions or entsiling upon our
people any additional taxation. He
held that the islands had become the
property OF the United States and not a
part of it, and that under the cODstitu-
ton Congress could make such disposl-
ton Of them as it might deem best and
that the civil rights and political status
OF the inhabitants might be determined
as Congress saw fit.
The men who are insisting that these
islands become under the treaty an i'll
tegrsl part of the United Stat are res
directing doctrine that ought to have
gone down forever in the smoke and
battle of the civil war, the notification
doctrine that was invented by John G..
Calhoun, the principal upon which the
south in '6l sought to establish Con.
federate government.
Mr.. Swanson, of Virginia, began his
argument by asserting that the condi
tions in Porto Rico mad not changed,
yet the republican party has, since the
Presidents message recommending free
trade with that island, entirely changed
its policy in dealing with the matter,
and that it was solely on account of pc.
litical exigencies. If Congress should
govern the territories an, new posses
sions without the constitutional limita-
tons it would create a congressional
despotism precisely similar to that
claimed by Great Britain at the time Of
the revolutionary war. He said: Every
person who votes for this bill announces
himself follower of George Ill.,"
In closing the argument he said 1.-THE
passage of the pending bill will end the
story of the Republic and open the his
tory of the Empire. 1t destroys con
s.itutionsl government and creates a
congressional despOtism."

Metbuen Occupys Kimberley.

London, Feb. 20.-General Lord Rob
erts today broke mis- three days silence
with a report which shows that he has
advanced his headquarters thirty miles
east of Jacobsdal, and which confirms
the press reports that General Methuen
had or was about to occupy Kimberley.
The official report contains no mention
Of CroDje's whereabouts or of the for
tunes OF the British forces pursuing him.
The dispatch is rs follows:
Psardeberg, Orange Free State go
miles east of JacobsdaD. Feb. 19.-The
railway to Kim Derley will be open to-
day. Methuen will proceed there forth
with and large amount of supplies
will BIZ forwarded him. Dordrecht was
occupied by Brabant's horse on Febru-
airy 18Th"
Cspetown, Feb. 2O.-Railroad trains

London, Feb. 20.-Lord Lsnsd0wne
announces that General Butler has &C.
cupied position dominating COlenso.
General Hart occupied COlenso after u
slight engagement
London, Feb. 20.-Following is Gen.
Buffers dispatch regarding the, opera
ton which eliminated 10 the occupation
of ColeDso it is dated Blous Farm, Feb.
20, 4:10 p. 10. and reads: "The Fusl-
lier brigade yesterday took HlangwaDe
Hill on the right of the enemy's position
aud commanding Colenso, the rest OF
the force advancing toward the Tugels.
This morning, the enemy had with.
drawn all his troops north OF the Tugela
and had practically evacuated ColeDso,
which Gen. Hart occupied after very
slight resista ce. We hope to hold
the south side of the Tugela froto
Colenso to Eagle Mex. The enemy
seems to be 10 full retreat, apparently
only holding a position across the
G llenso railway with weak rear
guard. General Harris advance guard
is crossing at Colenso. The casualties
are few"
This telegram leads the military
critics to the prediction that the Beers
are about to raise the siege of Lady

the defence of their own country. They
say, furtDer, that Butler will probably
reach Ladysmith in "a hours.
London, Feb. 20-It is reported un
