A special to the New York Tribune from
Springfield, Mass, says: Aguinaldo's rep
resentative in the United States, Sixto Lo-
PEI, has thrown up the sponge and will
work for the establishment of American
sovereignty in the Philippines if he finds
that the press reports of conditions in the
islands are true. Lopez was in this city
for two hours today. He was on his way
to the Pacific coast, where he will speak
in several cities before sailing for Manila.

himself as to the truth or falsity of the
dispatches that the Filipinos desire Ameri-
can rule, and if he finds that they do he

A London dispatch says: The unstable
character of the governments majority re-
ceived pointed Illustration last evening
in the house of commons during the discus
sion on money votes.
Numerous divisions were taken I'm a thin
house. the government majorities ranging
from forty to sixty. In one case, that of
the reduction of the salary Of the attorney
low as thirty-three At this the liberals
cheered jubilantiy.
The nationalistS were greatly disappoint-
Ell by the fact that when this particular di-
vision was taken twenty-one of their men,
berS were absent.
1t is evident that unless the government
Is really riding for fall, their whips need
constantly to be alert in order to prevent
an unpleasant surprise.
The incident caused much annoyance to
the government, especially as 1t Is under
stood that an urgent whip was sent to con-
sentative members to be in attendance in
anticipation of the votes. 1t is believed
.nstt several conservatives purposely alb
stained from voting, there being consider
able feeling against the extrayagant sums

Governor Allen.

Governor Aliens visit to the Unit ed
States has furnished topic for many 4
discussion in the political circles and the
party newspapers Of the island. The fed
erals advocate the resignation of the
governor, while the republicanos support
his administration Of the insular machin-
cry. This is probably due to the fact that
the federals having abstained themselves
from casting their votes in the last cleo
tons, the lower branch Of the insular legis-
lature Is made up entirely of republicans
who support the present administration
and consequently all the appointments
made under the laws passed during the
late sessions Of the Porto Rican legislature
have been reserved for the republicans
The recent change In the personnel of
the judiciary, where many federal judges
who possess valuable experience gained
through years Of professional practice,
have been substituted for young lawyers
their juniors, accounts perhaps for the
bitterness shown in the attacks of the fed
eral newspapers against Mr.. Allen. the
governor. and his cabinet. All or nearly
all Of the police judges just appointed

session Of the legislature. rank in the lines
of the republican party.

Mr.. Robert knight OF the B. b. and r..
Knight Manufacturing company was seen
at his office on Washington Row this
morning by News representative.
Mr. knight refrained from entering into
discussion of the proposed action OF
the Fall River men, stating that he had
given the matter no attention as IL in no
way affected the interests of himself or
his company.
When asked II his company would be
affected by cut-down in Fall River he
said he saw no reason why 1t should
be. The Fall River men are acting en-
tirely Independently and not in conjuno-
ton with any other mills. He added that
the knight company had seen no reason
for a reduction of wages and so had not
thought OF the matter. Consequently, he
saw no prospects OF any change from the
present situation.
Mr.. Knight was asked II there was an
overproduction i'm any or all of his mills.
He declined TO answer the question saying
that related exclusively to the business
OF the company and not to the general
public.
The Knight mills operate $4,000 spindles
and employ nearly 5000 people.
