Mckinley Buying Two More
Islands of the Sulu Group.

Madrid, July p The cabinet is
considering the proposition of the
United States government for the
cession of the islands of Cibitu and
Ksiagsyou in consideration of an in.
demnity of 100000. The ministry
regards the proposition favorably {;
the negotiations for treaty of accord
between the two governments are
proceeding rapidly.
Washington, July q Arrange.
ments have practically been com.
pleted for the purchase from Spain
by the United States of the islands
of Cibitu and Csgayen, which were
left in Spanish possession by the
treaty of Paris, although part of the
Philippine archipelago. The purchase
price was not made public
These islands llc without the
boundaries of the Philippine archi-
pelago as laid down in the Paris
treaty of peace After lengthy ne.

Que important consideration in the
negotiations was the desirabiity of
excluding any European power from
the possession of the islands for use
as naval station, which would con.
stitute constant menace to the Uni.
ted States sovereignty. There is
reason to believe that schemes of
that kind already have been put ahoat

MILITARY NOT GUILTY.



n Mining Riot
Bartlett Sinclair, who was the active
representative of Governor Steuenen-
berg in the Idaho mining riots, has
been giving his testimony before the
committee on military affairs of the
house of representatives. He declared
that the military authorities, who had
been called into that district by the
labor troubles. never went beyond
their bounds in a single instance. As
it is the acts of the military which
are made the subject of this investiga-
ton it matters not. so far as congress
is concerned. what may have been
done by the state authorities of Idaho
in suppressing the riots and maintain
ing order. If there was any miscon-
duct on the part of those officials they
must answer to the people, or the
authorities of the state
In reply to the questions of Mr..
Robertson to why the sheriff and
county commissioners of Shoshone
county had been suspended from Of
fee and martial law declared witness
Sinclair said that his actions We're in
accordance with the instructions of
Governor Steueneberg, and were in the
interest of law and order He sus
pended the county commissioners be-
caused he believed they were in col
fusion with the lawless element, and
because he feared they might wrong
fully expend the county's money and
do other things antagonistic to the
state. He assumed from the attitude
of these county officials, who, instead
of assisting in the apprehension and
prosecution of those who had been
guilty of conspiracy resulting in the
destruction OF the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan Mills and the murder of two
men, that they favored the miners,
and INSTRUCTED the process of justice
He believed that the interest of the
community demanded that they should
be prevented from interfering with
the execution of the law, and from
comforting the 1awless element, and
he accordingly placed them under ar
rest For that, he said. he was
answerable to the people of Idaho,
and that the military officers were not
to be held responsible in any degree

During the Republican administra-

Mckinley protective tariff in opera
ton, there were average 1926
failures in the United States in the
first three months of 1898, with liza
bil1tfes avera ging less than 10000
900 month
But the Democratic president, the
Democratic administration the Dem
ocratie congress and the Democrtic
free trade tariff of -tperfidy and dis
honor changed this moderate record
They made a new record for the coun-
try, a Democratic record of failures,
and brought the monthly average
number up to 4,0S4-an increase of S5S
a month-and the average liabilities
up to $50, 625, 9S5 a month, an increase
of S12,747, 76O. This was a great Dem
ocratic record of failures. It was I'M
para11e1ed. Nearly everything went
smash.
But Republican president, William
Mckinley, a Republican administra-
ton, a Republican congress and Re
publican protective tariff began to
build up the country again, and the
three months records of 189S-190O
show only an average of 2,997 failures
LOST a month less than the Demo-
cratic average, and only So, 1e2, 442 of
liabilities, or AN AVERAGE OF $2O,-
500, 900 LESS OF LIABILITIES EACH
MONTH THAN THE DEMOCRATIC
RECORD OF BUSINESS BREAKING.

ELI PERKINS DOWN SOUTH.
Gets Strange Admissions from a Dyed
in-the- WOOL Democrat.

tn-the- Wool Democrat.
The other day, says the Louisville
Commercial, Eli Perkins was intro
duced to Judge Scott, old dyed-in-
the-wooI Kentucky Democrat. The
judge is we'll known in the Blue Grass
region and the grand old Kentuckian
has always been looked up to as
High Priest of tbefo'-the-wah Democ-
racy.''
Perkins was introduced by an old
Democrat and Judge Scott supposed
that Eli was a Democrat too and he
became confidential with him at once
How are we Democrats getting
along, Judge?" asked Eli in a conf
Dental tone.
The Judge looked at Eli a moment
to see if he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly remarked:
well, sir, we getting very
we'll financially, but politically we are
running behind-Yes, I'm afraid we
are running behind
What causes this?' asked Eli.
<'We11, SIR said the Judge, sadly,
t<I am afraid our party has not been
altogether right. We have erred in
some things
Where have we erred, Judge?'
well, sir, I hate to admit it, but our
Grover Cleveland policy hurt us Ken
tuckians. I wouldn't say it to black
Republican, but we Democrats all adj
nit it among ourselves You see,'
said the Judge, 1--WE used to get 35
cents for wool, and a big price for
hemp and tobacco before Grover came
in, but that Wilson bill hurt US. It
knocked wool down to II cents Free
jute, put in to help the cotton fellows,
ruined our hemp and it rotted in the
ground Then we lowered the tariff
on tobacco and our tobacco went down
on us. We didn't complain, but we
Democrats did good deal of think
ing Cattle and hogs got lower and
lower and when Grover went out we
were pretty poor-yes, dog-on hard up,
sirl"
Are they still bad-the tfmes?"
asked Eli.
mo, honestly the times are good.
Wool and hemp and tobacco have dou-
bled in price and are still going up.
Cattle and hogs are high and our blue
grass farmers are getting rich.''
well, what is the matter them"
why these good times have
Knocked out our dear old Democratic
party Our Democratic farmers say
they will never vote for free trade or
low tariff again.
well. what can we Democrats do?''
asked Eli.
81 hate to admit it, said the Judge,
sadly, t.but if we Democrats want to
win in Kentucky again we've got to
old Wilson bill and Bryan's free silver
will be a scarecrow to every farmer
in Kentucky and Tennessee. We've
tried low tariff and we know-I'm
ashamed to say so-but we know 1t
hurt usi No, sir, the people are pros
porous, but our Democratic party is
doing poorly. I wouldn't say it to a
black Republican but that is the way
we Democrats talk among ourselves
AS the Judge got off the train at
Lexington, he remarked: Yes, and
there was another mistake we Dem
ocrats made. Grover Cleveland want
ed to sink the Republic of Hawaii and
put a Niger on the throne We Dem
ocrats didn't complain, but it made us
sick, for, between you and me, we

Record of Years OF Prosperity and Bust
ness Depression
Business failures during the first
three months of this year were even
less in number and liabilities than in
the early months OF 1899, notwith-
standing the fact that there are a
larger number of business concerns in
the country. Less than 900 business
failures in each OF the three months
of this year is fact that stands out
prominently as a record of business
prosperity But the value OF this
years record can be better appreciated

My Dear General: Let me congratu-

gratulations to General Roe, who is
recognized as paid agent of the cor
porations. Labor unions, it is report
ed, will pass resolutions denouncing
