The position OF Senator Ross on the
Philippine question is one OF modera-
ton and conservatism. lie believes in
suppressing the present instruction
as speedily as possible. Until that is
done, he proposes no permanent form
OF government, but favors giving due
notice that the Philippines will never
be incorporated as part of our prop
er country. As speedily as possible,
he holds that civil government OF a
form best fitted to the needs of the
people should be instituted, under the
tntelage and authority of the United
States. He is willing to assume the
burden which he believes the Philip
pines will entail, and would not shirk
il as Iloar would, but he has no SYM
pathy with Beyeridge's idea of glori
Gus career Of national conquest and ex-
panslon which destiny has in store for
this country. There is one good thing
about Ross position-it can be shifted
to either extreme without seeming in
consistency at any time. At the pres
ent moment, it looks AS ifthe Otis rule
would be the only one the natives
would have a chance to try for long
time, as they still keep up just enough
opposition TO make 1t necessary.

he smelled smoke about O'Clock. He
went up stairs from the basement. and
found the house on fire. A young son

The General Assembly of 1899 1900 ad-
journed sine die late yesterday after
noon, and IL meant a great deal, for
when the members passed out of the
portals IL was to bid goodby 10 the old
State house which for a century had
been the scene OF forensic contests.

cording to law, will be i'm the new
marble capitol. Before the legislature
took leave of the ola halls they voted
to- Gov. Dyer the chair he had occupied
for three consecutive terms and which
his predecessors had used. Then they
gave TO Lieut.Gov. Gregory his chair
and finally a vole was passed, giving
to each MEMBER os the House and Sem
ate the chair AMI desk used by him dur
ing the closing session. The clerks and
reporters of the General Assembly also
secured souvenir chairs, and the state
will thus be saved the expense OF mov-
ing a lot of old truck.
During the afternoon session there
was a great deal OF business in both
branches. In the House. Mr.. Moore
of Westerly, for the judiciary commit
tee. reported back an sct in amendment
OF chapter 165, general laws.
This was the act amending the law
governing practice by physicians in this
state by making passage for examina-
tion given by the state board OF health
necessary before license TO practice
in this state can be granted, and by
making provision for removing the IL
cense OF any physician convicted OF any
misdemeanor. The act was TO take ef-
feet June l. 1900.
Mr.. Sheffield OF Newport opposed the
passage Of the bill, saying 1t would shut
out outside practitioners from practicing
at the watering places where they stay
during the summer. and would make
IL impossible 10 call in physician from
outside the state for consultation. He
considered the act unwise and unnec-
essary.
