their fate
Senator Lodge, who represents the ad-
ministration view of the Philippine

to talk of commissions when these peo-
pie lay down their arms and stop Tight

Senator Beveridge, a most pronounced
annexationist, regards Mabini as the

his proposition, however, the senator
said: I would have to study it more
closely before giving an opinion that
would be of any value, but If We're
to answer offhand l would say that it
seems to me his suggestion has been
anticipated by the appointment of the
civil commission which visited the is

John Barrett, former minister to

his Idea of Tea and Coffee.

"As a travelling representative of the
Cycling Gazette and a good wheelman,
I wish to say something regarding the
use of tea and coffee.
Two years ago I was almost an in
valid. Today am rugged and strong,
and able to ride a wheel seventy five
miles a, day. Formerly I was addicted
to coffee and tea, but was compelled to
give them up, and took to drinking
Postum Food Coffee, for I knew that
many wheel riders used it. The effect
on myself and family has been very re-
markable.
"The sustaining power Of Postum
Food Coffee is wonderful. Many a time
1 have gone out early in the morning
for ride, taking only a drink of Pos
turn before starting and no other food
before noon.
Much depends on the making. A
skillful cook can make good coffee; i. E.,
the better the cook, the better the cof-
fee, but anybody who knows enough to
boil water can make good Postum, if
they will only use a large pot that viii
not let it boil over, and then boil it
long enough. You cannot spoil it by
but always settles clear in a moment
mo pecuniary inducement one could
offer would tempt me to leave off Pos

health and strength too highly.
With my hearty wishes for your
continued success, which Postum fully
merits" c. A. Jackson, "a Anderson

FLOUR TRUST WEAK.
Signs Of DisintegratiOn Are Be-
coming Apparent.

New York, Jan. 25.-The Herald says:
1t is persistently rumored in various
quarters that the United States Flour
Milling company is in imminent danger
of disintegration. The report has it that
the methods of the officials of the COM
pany are severely criticised and that
the open dissatisfaction is likely to re-
suit in the attempted withdrawal of the
Hecker-J Jones-Jew Milling company
and of the Northwestern Milling com
pany.
1t was said last night that an attempt
which now promises success, is being
made to place the trust on a better fin
ancial basis and that a large working
capital is to be provided, in which case
the secession movement will be check
ed.
Officials of the company when seen
yesterday, denied in positive terms that
there is any probability of disintegra-
tiOn. They admitted that there had been
propositions to purchase certain of the
mills controlled by the company, and
fully confirmed the story that a plan is
well under way which will provide am
pie working capital and which will
place the company upon sound fnan-
cial basis.
Conferences have been held in this
city, there being present George Urban
Jr-, of Buffalo. president of the United

M'KINLEY WON'T LISTEN.
No Consideration For Filipinos Until
They Surrender.

New York, Jan. 25-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
proposition made by the Filipino leader,
Senor Mabini, for a. civil commission to
treat with the Filipinos, will not be
considered by the administration until
Aguinaldo surrenders and in official
circles the general disposition is to re-
gard Mabinfs request as another play
for delay.
1t is the purpose of President McKin-
ley to inaugurate a civil government to
supersede military rule in the Philip
pines at the earliest possible moment
and he is favorably inclined toward a
commission in lieu of a governor gen
eral and is discussing the question of
available men for such a commission.
If his present plans are carried out the
Filipinos will have all of the commits
sions they want to confer with, for in
addition to a commission for the gov
ernnment of the islands, it is not un-
likely that congress will appoint a joint
commission to investigate the islands
next summer and report to the next
session as a guide for future legisla-
ton.
A great deal of interest was mani
tested in congressional circles in the
communication from Senior Mabini.
There is some diversity of opinion over
the proposition and it's feasibility.

Chicago Man Loses His Life in
South America.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Word has been re-
ceived here of the tragic death in South
America of Erwin Hopkins, jr., son of
Erwin Hopkins, a veteran member of
the Chicago board of trade.
Hopkins was interested in a rubber
concern which had obtained concessions
from the republic of Colombia. He rep
resented his company at Bogota where
he had made his headquarters for a
year. While on an exploring expedition
in the interior his boat ran aground on
a sand pit. 1t is supposed that in try
ing to float his craft, standing in the
water himself he was bitten by a poison
Gus reptile, death resulting quickly. His
body was found several days later by
a native employed by the company. In
dications of a terrible struggle We're
apparent.

Chlorofornn Made Harmlaas.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-The Tribune says:
Physicians at the Cook County hos
pital have used successfully in a test
case the invention of DIR. William B.
Hedder. Of Boston. by which it is
claimed the Objectionable features of
chloroform as an anaesthetic are elimi-
mated. The essential point of the new
device is the adrnittance of fresh air
as the chloroform is inhaled by the pa
tient, which it is said prevents nausea.
On the theory that the danger in chic
roform and ether administration lies in
breath or in the fumes the admission
of fresh air is expected to make anes-
thesia no more dangerous than virus in
toxication, to which, under the new
method, it is closely allied.

CRASHING AT EVERY STRAW.

The Republican managers are now
trying to get Minister Conger back to
this country in time to make cam
paign speeches for Mckinley and
Roosevelt. Minister Conger represents
the United States, in China, and not the
Republican party. What he has done,
he has done as an American and not as
a partisan. He was not penned UP
in Peking because he was a Republi-
can and he was not rescued by Re-
publicans. The administration at home
couldn't spare enough troops to be ef-
fective and all nations Joined in the
rescue of the brave minister and his
cause Of the notoriety he has gained,
why not exploit his rescuers, including
the American commanders, the Japan
ese, the Russian Cossacks, the French,
the English, the Germans and the
Italians. The mere suggestion Of put
ting Conger forward shows to what
straits the 6. o. p. has come. But Con-
ger probably has more sense than to
take the hook, with such poor bait.
He did his duty faithfully and we'll,
but if he wants to lower his dignity and
standing among the people he will start
out making campaign speeches. And 1t
doesn't make any difference which side
he makes them on, IL he uses his ex-
periences in China as a drawing card.
Mr.. Conger could point to the late his
tory Of Admiral Dewey with good
effect IL he is approached very seri-
ously by the Republican national COM
mittee.

NAsH's LITTLE EFFORT.

Governor Nash, a guest in East
Liverpool, made a speech in which he
displayed something Of the littleness OF
his nature by indulging in partlsanship.
and evidenced a lack of appreciation of
the ethics Of the occasion by lauding
the kingmakers and the would-be kings.
Governor Nash declared, as will be not
iced elsewhere in news account of the
matter, that he wanted the Republican
party to be in power to settle questions
that are pending because we had the
great and good Mr.. Mckinley In charge
Of affairs. He said that he could look
after 1t better than anyone else, but he
didn't give reason why. The burden
Of his song, which was sung, dis
courteously. to a mixed crowd of peo-
pie who had come cut to hear the
governor and not the Hanna lackey,
was that the king could do no wrong.
1t didn't make any difference what
Mckinley would do about 1t, 1t would be
right anyhow. This sort of play is be-
ing made by all the imperialists, who
have no argument to produce but who
just want the king and the king maker
in because they want them in. The
American people desire something more
this year than a simple statement. They
will oblige campaign orators to give
them something better than that. So
far as Governor Nash is concerned.
however, little better need be expect
ed. When a man, who is a guest of a
lowers the dignity Of his
high Office to make a political speech, |
especially such very absurd and ride
culous speech, he ought to be classed
among the very smallest Of cheap little |
politicians.
