He Drew The Line on a Monkey Ranch,

Speaking of quitting jobs, 1.-The In
spector:" who looks afte- the lighter
side OF life on the rails for the Rail-
way Age. says he knows of one man
who had Il real good reason for so
doing. He was working his way East
from some of the ranches in the
western part of the DakOtas and had
taken up with temporary job at
rallrOadlng. The result of his physical
ana clVIl-Seryice examinations had
placed him in the track department,
where he had remained for some years,
having become greatly attached to his
immediate superior. One morning
the boss was trying to tighten up a
track bolt when the wrench slipped
and he hurt his hand. He threw the
wrench down and remarked with some
force:
"Ole, I'm going to get a monkey
wrench"
Wall, Ay tank Ay quit ma yob,"
replied his faithful emplOye.
why, Ole, you wouldn't leave me
after all this time that we have
worked together. Now, Ole, you have
been one of the best men in my gang
Vas, MeSter Sullivan, you ban
guide man, but Ay don't want ma yOb
no more. You see, Ay work on sheep
ranch for fem year and Ay work hard.
Then Ay work on horse ranch for two
years and Ay work hard. Then Ay
work three year on COW ranch and
run the COWS aroun' and aroun' tell
Az get ma sick. Ay like you, Mester
Sullivan, and Ay like to work for you,
an Ay would work for you some more,
but when you say you buy a monkey
ranch than Ay don't like to stay here
no longer. Ay skal never work on

SENATOR PLATT'S LETTER.
Had aWeII Defined Purpose to Sc
cure and Defend independence.
MEANING OF AMENDMENT.

Washington, June 10.-During the
conference between Secretary Root
and the Cuban commission the secrc-
tary wrote letter to Senator Plat Of
Connecticut who introduced the Plat
amendment, asking for his views
relative to intervention as mentioned
in the third clause of the amendm2t.
Senator Platt's letter was furnisheS to
the committee confidentially by the
secretary OF war and was incorporated
into and made part of the acceptance
of the Platt amendment by the consti-
tutional convention. The letter, how
ever, appeared in a Havana paper, and
is now made public by the war depart
ment. Following is the text of the
letter:
81 am in receipt of your letter of
this date, in which you say that the
members of the committee of the
Cuban constitutional convention fear
that the provisions relative to inter-
vention made in the third clause of
the amendment which has come to
boar my name, may have the effect of
preventing the independence of Cuba
and in reality establish protectorate
or suzerainty by the United States
and you request that l express my
views of the question raised.
I'm reply l beg to state that the
amendment was carefully prepared
with the object of avoiding any possi-
bic idea that by the acceptance thereof
the constitutional convention would
thereby establish protectorate or
suzerainty, or in any manner whatso-
ever preclude the independence or
sovereignty of Cuba; and. speaking for
myself, it seems impossible that such
an Interpretation can be given to the
clause. believe that the amendment
should be considered as whole and it
ought to be clear on reading it that its
well defined purpose is to secure and
safeguard Cuban independence, and
set forth at once clear idea OF the
friendly disposition of the United
States toward the Cuban people and
the express intention of their part to
aid them, if necessary in the main
tenance of said independence. These
are my ideas and although, as you say,
l cannot speak for the entire congress,
my belief is that such purpose was
well understood by that body.
Every respectfully yours,
(Signed) so. II. PLATT."

The exercises were the occasion for a

successful operation since 1857, and
are maintained wholly by the Cherokee
treasury, the students being charged
only a nominal sum for board. The
female seminary has modern building

Cherokee men and women have grad
uated with honors, and become promi-
nent in public affairs. This year the

THE NEW CIVIL GOVERNMENT
Will be Similar to That Of the
Early Days Of New Mexico.
TO RULE THE PHILIPPINES.

Washington, June s.-The new civil
government to be established in the
Philippines is receiving the considera-
tion of the president and the secretary
of war. 1t will differ very little from
what was first outlined as there will be
governor for the archipelago and an
executive council and other officers.
This government will have control of
all civil affairs, but it will be under
the war department to the extent of
being directed by the secretary of war
There will be nice distinction as to
the authority of the general command
ing the troops in the Philippines and
the governor to be appointed under
the civil government No official
declaration has been made as to which
will be the supreme authority, but it
is known that the secretary of war
will be supreme. While it is not the
intention to conduct the government
of the Philippines under the Spooner
law, that law will be taken as sane
tioning what is to be done The new
government will be similar to that
which existed for a short time in the
early days of New Mexico. There was
civil governor appointed by the
president and commanding general
of the army. Both had their functions
in preserving the peace and controlling
the affairs of the territory.

The President stlll Hopeful.

Washington, June s.-The president
continues hopeful of the outcome.
More cannot be said. There has
been no setback, but likewise no gain.
One favorable circumstance is that
Mrs Mckinley continues to obtain
more sleep than she was able to get in
the earlier stages of her illness, and
rests fairly comfortable. At the White
House everything was unusually quiet
There were no callers who saw the
president, with the exception of Sur
geon General Sternberg and DR.. Rixey.
