Hales. The trial will be called at the

Crook Wright is once more free. He
got his boon companion, ''Pearley'' At

and was fined 500 and costs, and sent
enced to go days in Jail, while the charge

President Schurman of Cornell, late
commissioner to the Philippines, said Fri
day in an address before the students of
the Armour institute at Chicago, that the
scheme of government as agreed upon by
the commission and approved by President
Mckinley was the constitution drawn up
in 1898 by Pedro A. Paterno, Aguinaldo's
prime minister, with only slight elabora-
tion in the American form. III closing his
address President Schurman said: 81 never
desired, and the American people never de-
sired, the acquisition of the Philippines.
They came to us, and now that we must
face the problem the greatest danger does
not lie in the Philippines, but at Washing
ton. Unless we send out the greatest men
- men who sympathize with the people
and are devoted to public service; not
pol iticians, but statesmen-we will fail as
Spain failed"

The New Currency nm.

The Republicans in Congress demon
strated their sincerity and fidelity to the
cause of sound money Friday, when the
conference committee of the two houses
reported to the Senate bill which de-
cares gold to be the standard of value in
the United States and gives comprehensive
powers to the secretary of the treasury
to maintain the standard. The bill
has been changed in many details from
both the Senate and House bills, and is de-
clared by advocates Of sound money legis-
lation to be great improvement upon
either bill as originally passed,
The discretion now vested in the secre-
tary of the treasury of redeeming govern
ment obligations in silver, if he should so
elect, will be taken from that official and
he will be firmly bound by law to keep at a
parity all kinds of money issued by the
United States. The present legal tender
quality of the silver dollar and of other
money of the United States remains unaf-
fected. The secretary of the treasury is
required to SET apart reserve fund of
S150,O00, 900 in gold, which is to be used
for redemption purposes exclusively, and
notes redeemed for gold are not to be re-
issued, except in exchange for gold. The
secretary is authorized TO sell three pei
cent bonds whenever necessary to main.
tain the reserve, and the money so re-
crived is not to be used to defray current
expenses. Provision is made for small
national banks and for the issue of silver
certificates in small denominations. In
the bill is incorporated the Senate's refund
ing proposition for the sale Of two per cent
bonds, to run for 30 years. Opinion is not
unified on this latter provision; but the
conferees have agreed to it upon the as
surance of Secretary Gage that it is feast
BILE to float such bonds, which bear rate
OF interest less than those Of the principa
bonds of any other nation.
One section, which is criticised as a soT
10 the siverites, says: The provisions o.
this act are not intended to preclude the &C
compIshment of international bimetallism

pedient and practicable to secure the samt

mercial nations Of the world and at a ratio

Ex-senator Eimunds who is honorary
president OF the Anti.Imperialist league,
when interviewed at Washington Saturday
in regard to the anti-imperialsts' conven.
tion at Philadelphia, where the advisabili-
ty of supporting Bryan for the presidency
was considered, said st is absurd 10

cumstances. | agree with Senator Hoar
that, however much we may differ with
what seems to be the Republican Philip

Bryan. He stands for so many things that

age OF things, and not be influenced by a

position is that the Philippines cannot be
given back to Spain nor to any other coun-
try. At the same time he does not think
the Filipinos should be governed by the
United States without their consent, but
they should be aided to self government
as speedy as possible.

Porto nico TsrIn nm.

The Porto Rico tariff bill amended so
as to reduce the tsrff from % per cent to
- per cent, and limiting its life to two
years, passed the House Wednesday by a
vote of 172 to 1Gl. Six Republicans voted
with the opposition against the bill, and
four Democrats voted with the Republicans
for it, Each side made herculean efforts to
get out fun vote. six members being
brought from beds OF sickness TO vote.
The dissenting Republicans were Mccall of
Massachusetts, Littlefeld of Maine, Crum-
packer of Indiana, Lorimer of Illinois and
Heatwole and Fletcher of Minnesota.
Mr.. Powers of Vermont, who was OPP
posed to the tariff of 25 per cent, and who
drew up the compromise amendment of Is
per cent with time limit, voted with the
majority In a speech Wednesday Mr..
Powers said there was a question as to the
constitutionality OF the bill and one as to
its expediency. A case was already in the
courts which would eventually settle the
question of constitutional law. AS to the
expediency, this section would make the
measure temporary and provisional. 1t
was, he understood, satisfactory to the
President, and that being the case, he was
willing to give the amended bill his support.

senator ROss's speech 1.-THE Talk OF
WashIngfOn,v

Probably not more than one out of ten
Jonathan Ross is a Senator. The old gen.
tieman, he is "A, came to Washington a
year ago last month to take his seat in the
Senate by appointment of the governor of
Vermont. His quaint, old-fashioned ap-
pearance aroused momentary interest when
the oath was administered. But after
Jonathan Ross had taken his seat be was
promptly forgotten.
Today the speech of "that old granger"
as one member of the House of Represen-
tatives called him, is the talk of Washing
ton.
"Have you read Rosss speech?" is what
one public man is asking another.
1t is Ross in the capitol cloak rooms,
Ross at the White House, Ross in the
chambers OF the justices, and Ross at the
departments. The few Senators who were
polite enough to remain in their seats out
of respect to the venerable orator were
amazed. They spread the news, and when
the Congressional Record produced the
speech it was read everywhere. And now
it is being talked about.
"That old granger" is no granger, but
man who came to the Senate from 20 years
on the bench of the supreme court of Yer
mont. He has given an opinion upon our
"outlying dependencies" which has opened
the eyes of the statesmen and jurists, and
which is making a deep impression. 1t is
a speech which will go the length and
breadth of this country before November.

Representative Richardson of Tennessee
has begun an original campaign against
trusts. He introduces each day resolu-
tion directed at some particular trust, and
says he will continue this plan in the
House for over month. The resolution
opens by stating that the product of the
company named has been advanced sever
al ii mes, manufacturers in each instance
having agreed upon the same price, which
is prima facie evidence that trusts or com.
bnations exist for the purpose of destroy
ing competition in order that large profits
may be realized. The business end of the
formula is identically the same in each
resolution, 1t provides that the products of
the alleged trusts, after six months from
the passage of the resolution, be prohibited
by the interstate commerce commission
from being transported in any manner
whatsoever from one state to another until
the commission is satisfied that the article
in question offered for interstate transpor-
tation has not yielded profit to the man
ufacturers of more than per cent in ex
cess of its cost.

Little6eld, the new Maine Congressman,
made another speech Friday, which only
enhanced the brilliant reputation of his
first effort, when his subject was the seat
ing of Roberts, the Mormon. Mr.. Little
field has won reputation already as one
of the big men of Congress, and is said to
have incurred the dispeasure of some of
the leaders by his fearlessnesss and indie
pendence. In his second speech he at
tackled the Porto Rico tariff bill. He made
the strong point that the bill was drawn
against the advice of Gen. Davis, governor
general of the island; against the protest
of the people of Porto Rico; against the
counsel of Secretary Root; against the
recommendations of the President, and
against the original recommendations of
the chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. Mr.. Littlefield declared that he
opposed the bill because it was ''un-Re-
publican, un-American, unprecedented, un-
warranted and unconstitutional"

The sssamshlp Subsidy Rml.

The champions of the Frye-Hanna bill
still prate of the enormous" postd asd
admiralty subsidies of Great Britain, Gao-
many and France to steamship companies.
The truth is that the $9,0O0,000 annual
subsidy in this bill greatly exceeds the to-
tai steamship subsidies of all the govern

mails. In these European subsidies there
is q large compensation to the governments
which pay them in postal revenues; in the
