PLEA FOR FILIPINos.
1t Was Entered In the Senate by
MIR. Wellington, of Maryland.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-For an hour
| today Mr.. Wellington (Rep., Md occu-
pied the attention Of the senate, continu-
ing the debate on the Philippine ques-
ton He took as his text the resolu-
ton he introduced last Tuesday, pro-
viding that the United States should not
take permanent possession of the archi-
pelago, but after subduing instruction,
which he sincerely deplored, should con-
fer upon the Filipinos the right to gov
ern themselves, offering them such pro-
lection as they might need.
Senator Wellington said he believed that
one Of the greatest blessings that ever
befell England was the loss Of the Ameri-
can colonies. Referring to Great Brit
aims war against the Transvaal, Mr.
Wellington said:
'"She has not met the Caucasian race
since the Crimean war and now when
for the first time for half a century she
attempts to send her army to destroy a
brave. courageous. but unfortunate peo-
pie, she at once rudely awakens from the
dream Of her power, because she finds
that corruption has eaten to her very
vitals and her army, which she deemed
was still like that OF Cromwell-in-
vincible-has been belabored and defeated
every day since it attacked the Beers
And justly so. And 1t may be, at no dis.
tant time. that the insidious Influences
which have thus debased her will entirely
destroy the weighty structure Of the en-
pire she has created.
IF the propositions advanced In 1776
were true then and applicable to the
American people struggling for freedom,
have they grown less forceful by the
passage of a century and a quarter Of
time? And are they less applicable now
to struggling people in the year 1900.
even though they dwell in the distance
and are weak beginners in the govern
ment of their own country. than to the
territories of Spain? And in the language
of President Mckinley himself, from
Plymouth Rock to the Philippines the
grand triumphant march Of human lib
erty has never paused Shall it pause
now? Shall the advancing columns of
freedom be retarded or obstructed?"

FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE.
Big Bird Attacks q Farmer Near
Montgomery, o.

Montgomery, o.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 1S.-Gray eagles are
scarce article in this section Of the
country, but from all accounts very
fine specimen Of that noble bird made
its appearance at Montgomery, this coun-
ty, and created a sensation among the
inhabitants of that peaceful locality.
There can be no question that 1t was an
eagle Old-timers who were hereabouts
when eagles were moro of nuisance
than q novelty testify that this was the
real thing.
Louis Kuertz Is willing to swear to It.
Mr.. Kuertz, who Is well known about
Montgomery, was up In a big tree chop
ping out some raccoons, when he heard
a Tapping Of wings above him that al
most made him lose his grip on the
limb Of which he was partially astride.
He glanced around and saw an immense
eagle just settling down on that limb.
The big bird was evidently intent on a
battle, and Kuertz was undecided for q
minute whether to climb up or down.
Finally he determined to remain where
he was and do his share in the fight.
He turned his head away from the
eagle for a moment to. tighten his grip on
the tree, and the monster bird took adj
vantage Of the position and thanked him.
Kuertz let out yell that sounded like
to a lower limb, intending to drop to
the ground and get his gun.
His cry stopped the eagles attack for
minute, but KuertZ had no sooner got
seated on the lower limb than the eagle
attacked him again and delivered an up
per cut that brought forth another war
whoop. Kuertzs dog, on the ground be-
meath the tree, took cognizance Of the
riotous state Of affairs In the branches
above by this time and set UP barking
that attracted the attention Of the eagle
and saved Kuertz from any further at
tack But the bird simply concentrated
his pugnacious and rapacious energies on
the dog from that moment. Swooping
down from the tree the bird tried to bury
its talons in the dogs back, but the ca
nine was not to be rushed In that man
ner, and he gave the eagle such a fierce
fight for a few minutes that the bird gave
I'D the contest and scared away. Kuertz
got to the ground as soon as possible and
made an effort to get a shot at the eagle.
but 1t was out of range by the time he
got his gun.
And now Kuertz Is wondering II he
could have been prosecuted under the
law for killing the eagle when 1t attacked
him. Several people in and near Mont
gomery saw the eagle flying around In
that vicinity later in the day, and fond
parents are keeping close watch on their
minor children to prevent any kidnapping
by the king Of the air.

CENSUS WORK.
Woman Is First to Respond on Agri-
cultural Data.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-The efforts
which Gov. Merriam, director Of the CEN
sus Is making to induce farmers to pre-
pare statements Of their operations for
the calendar year 1899, so that they will
be ready to reply definitely and accurate
ly to the enumerator's questions next
June, are bearing fruit. Some farmers
have forwarded copies Of statements to
the census office. accompanied by in
quiries as to their completeness and cor
rectness. The first and one of the best
Of these statements came from a woman
who operates farm in Pennsylvania on
her own account. The paper shows not
only the acreage, quantity and value Of
each crop, but contains also a good inven-
tory of live stock and a detailed state
ment Of the quantity and value of the
miscellaneous articles produced.
If every farmer would initiate this
woman the agricultural report Of the
Twelfth census would be marvel of
completeness and accuracy and would
also show the entire productive strength
of the United States in food products.

WAR WITH GERMANY

Said to Have Been Averted by Con-
ceding the Carolines.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Is. = The
United States and Germany were on the
verge of war during a considerable period
preceding the negotiations of the treaty
Of peace at Paris.
This statement will be verified when
ever President Mckinley sees fit to make
public his instructions to the American
peace commissioners. While there Is at
present q disposition to withhold this
information, 1t will come out at the prop
er time during the discussion Of the Phil
ippine question in the senate, but 1t will
not be in response to any wild resolution
of Pettigrew or Hoar.
It will further develop that very crit
zeal situation was finally avoided by an
agreement whereby Germany was to OBJ
tain the Caroline islands. If this conces-
sion of the Carolines had not been MADE
Germany would have demanded as much
in the Philippine Islands as America was
getting Hence, there was great deal
more in the talk as to the fight with Ger
many in the fall Of 1898 than was ever
dreamed of at the time
The decision Of the senate In not call
ing on Mckinley to disclose the instruc'
tons to the Paris peace commission is
not because 1t reflects on any MEMBER OF
the peace commission, and each one OF
them has stated in executive session
that, so far as he is personally concerned,
he would be perfectly willing to have
an the Instructions made public. But
the senators do not want to ask the pres
ident for the instructions and correspond
ence, because they believe In leaving the
matter entirely ins the presidents hands.
His Instructions and private messages TO
the peace commissioners are matters that
it is claimed belong exclusively to him,
and, while he is under no obligations to
make them public, it is nevertheless ex-
pected that Mr. Mckinley will disclose
at the proper time most important his
torical chapter in connection with the
war with Spain and our relations with
Germany.

Whereas, 1t appears from an examina-
