Though the house overwhelmingly
voted in favor Of the submission to
the states Of a proposed constitutional
amendment providing for the election
Of senators by the direct vote Of the
people in each state, instead Of by the
legislatures Of the several states, the
senate, a well-informed Washington
correspondent says, will side-track
that proposition. The house resolution
has heen referred to the committee on
privileges and elections, where it viii
be permitted to slumber peacefully.
In view Of the senate's opposition and
the practical impossiblity Of getting
that body to submit the proposed CON
stituJional amendment, it is within the
possibilities that a movement will be
inaugurated to have two-thirds Of the
legislatures Of the states appeal to
congress to call a constitutional con-
vention for the purpose Of proposing
such an amendment TO the states. The
opposition to amending the constitution
as proposed does not entirely come
from the unWillingness Of the average
senator to be compelled to appeal to
the people instead Of the legislatures,
but is due also 10 the belief Of some Of
the best men in the senate that, OBJ
jectionable as the present method Of
electing senators is in some respects,
it is not so Objectionable as to war
rant disturbing the checks and bal
lances of the government, since the
election Of senators by the direct voice
Of the people would make the senate
almost as changeable and as subject
to popular whim as the house itself is.

LIGHT ON MIR. HoAR's PATRIOT


| Chicago Times. Herald.
The senate has received from the
president a new installment OF Filipino
papers which Mr. Hoar should have
read before he delivered his great
speech. Had he done so he would have
come upon abundant reasons for re-
visiug his opinion OF the patriot, Ag-
inaldo. unless his mind is resoIutely
Sc; against facts.
May "a, 1895. or shortly after Dew
eys destruction Of the Spanish fleet,
the patriot was out with a proclama-
ton in which he modestly assumed
dictatorship as a preliminary to gov
ernment with a cabinet" At that
time he counted on the assistance OF
the great American nation" but by
fall he seems to have become Spanish
in his sympathies. There is letter
of October which is thought to have
been inspired by him and which speaks
OF saving from shipwreck "the SOW
ereignty OF Spain in these islands"
This communication is addressed TO
General Kios, Spanish commander at
Ilo Lilo, and is quite a document In
several respects. Though the insurrec-
ton did not break out at Manila un-
til more than three months later the
writer suggests the advantage Of sur
rendering to Filipinos rather than TO
Americans. Join US" he said. and |
proclaim the federation Of the Filipino
republic with the Spanish republic.
recognizing the craftsmanship Of our
honorable president, Senior Emilio Ag-
uinaldo." The general was to be pro-
NOTED in the Filipino army. Span
iards who wanted to go home were to
be sent back at Filipino expense, those
who remained We're to take part in
fighting the Americans"
OF course these proposals were not
sincere, but were devised TO forestall
an American victory If possible. They
point plaiuly to double dealing and
both against the spaniards
and ourselves. Another document
which is supposed to have come from
the same source indicates a continu-
ance OF native duplicity. Filipino com
missioners who were TO accompany cur
troops to Ilo Ilo were instructed how
they might direct an ambush Of the
Americans by the Filipino forces near
that city.
The outbreak Of February 4, 1899, was
evidently the elimination Of several
rcbellious projects, and that foreign
ars who reside at Manila have rea-
son to congratulate themselves be-
cause it did not succeed is proved by
a letter Of last October. The writer,
J. NJ. Leyba, commends an unnamed
officer, concerning whom he
'ays:
He will go to Manila commissioned
" our government to throw some dy-
iamite bombs and set fire TO the houses
md principal buildings, especially those
occupied by foreigners"
If Mr.. Hoar's patriot had ever got
nto the city with his army pillage and
would would have been the
ate Of its inhabitants. Aguinaldo new
y made any bones Of this.

DEWEY FOR SECOND PLACE.

The Dewey boom and It's possibili-
ties continues to be the subject ot
much comment and speculation. The
opinion now seems to be quite general
that the boom was launched prema.

men who want TO down Bryan and
subordinate the silver issue. Their
idea seems to have been that Deweys
candidacy would perhaps make II pos
sible to prevent Mr., Bryan's nominal
ton on the first ballot under the rule
requiring two-thirds OF the convention
to make nomination. and that upon
later ballots the convention might turn
enthusiastically for Dewey.
There does not now appear to be any
possibility of any such maneuver sue
eeeding. Mr.. Bryan has already pledg-
ed to him the delegates from Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island. Nebraska. North
Carolina, Oregon. Massachusetts,, Yer
mont. New Mexico and the District |
Of Columbia. q total Of los out Of the |
$50 delegates that will comprise the
convention. provided Alaska and Ha-
waii are not given representation.
From other states come, with practical
unanimity. the information that their
delegates will be instructed for Bryan.
1t is possibly inconceivable that any
thing can happen that can pre-
vent the Nebraska leader from be-
ing nominated on the first ballot, If
not by reclamation. certainly by more
than a two-thirds vote.
In view of this the question is fire.

would be content TO run for second

here is much reason to believe that

rots generally believe that while he

ial candidate. a seeker for the nomina-
ion. he would add strength to the
Bryan ticket.
The announcement that Mr.. Bryan

pretty shrewd piece of work. and one

OF which is herewith given. The wind
shield feature is quite prominent in
this racing machine, and, while almost
completely covering the operators,
tapers to point in front. The COM
pany which builds this vehicle, in
order to tighten it as much as possible
consistent with the requisite strength
to carry the weight of the motors de-
signed to develop the twenty-four
horsepower of which it is capable,
has made extensive use in the body OF
partinium, an alloy of aluminium and
tungsten, whose specific gravity is al
most identical with that of aluminium
alone, but whose strength is very
much greater. While possessing horse
power exceeding the majority of rae
ing machines, the Vallee has as yet
been unsuccessful in winning races,
which may be partly attributable to
the facts that it is driven by single
belt and possesses no speed change
gear-defects which will be remedied
before its next appearance in a race.
In this connection it may be stated
IhdI IL 10 tue COuSSHSuo VI OplulOn
among those devoted to this sport Of
millionaires" that vehicles developing
a maximum of sixteen-horse power
are better adapted to fast work on the
road than are those possessing greater
or less power
A German racing vehicle, the first
of the kind turned out of the famous
shops at Cannstadt, and specially de-
signed to bring the automobile blue
ribbon to Germany, is that of Herr
Jellinck, of Vienna, who races under
the nom de plume of Mercedes" and
who won the Tourists de Nice race in
1899. This racing machines four
cylinder motor is also capable of de-
veloping twenty-four horse power, and
although it has not yet been tried in
actual contest, the vehicle has in trial
work shown sustained speeds OF
eighty-fve kilometers (about fifty
three miles) an hour-a performance
which, if duplicated in next summers
international contests, will very likely
result in the discontinue of the
French chaufreurs. The machine re-
sembles some of the French vehicles
in general outlines, having similar
controlling and speed levers, discon-
tinuing gear, brake and accelerator.

Hohenlindcn.

(Old Favorites Serles)
I'm the opinion of many, Hohenlindel
is the best poem Of it's kind in the Englisl
language. The battle Of Hohenlinden
fought Dec. 3, 1900, between the Austrian
and the French, the latter being victori
Gus, was witnessed by the poet, Thoma
Campbell, who shortly afterward wrot
the poem.l
On Linden, when the sun was low,
All bloodless lay tn untrodden snow,
And dark as winter was the flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly.
But Linden saw another sight
When the drum beat at the dead of nigh
Commanding fires of death TO light
The darkness Of her scenery.
By torch and trumpet fast arrayed.
Each horseman drew his battle-blade.
And furious every charger neigh'd,
To join the dreadful revelry.
Then shook the hills with thunder riven,
Then rush'd the steed to battle driven.
And louder than the bolts of Heaven
Far flashed the red artillery.
But redder yet that light shall glow
On Linden's hills of stained snow,
And 'bloodier yet the torrent flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly.
'Tis morn, but scarce yon level sun
Can pierce the war-clouds, rolling dun,
Where furious Frank and fiery Hun
Shout in their sulph'rous canopy.
The combat deepens. On we brave!
Who rush to glory or the grave,
Wave, Munich! all thy banners wave,
And charge with all thy chivalry!
Few, few shall part, where many meet;
The snow shall be their winding sheet,
And every turf beneath their feet
Shall be a soldiers sepulchre
