his old hostility, and then as he caught
sight Of the pretty dish he few down

darted into the water before | could
take my hand from the cage.

Solicitor General Richards have become
very active. The Ohioan's claims have
been urged by Senator Foraker and sew
eral other members of the Buckeye State

Mr.. Griggs became a member of the
Cabinet in January, 1898, being appointed
Attorney General TO succeed Joseph Nc

NO REDUCTION AT PRESENT.
Caution to BE Observed i'm Decreas-
ing the Philippine Forces.

Il was authoritatively stated yesterday
at the War Department that If conditions
in the Philippines continue to improve as
rapidly as they have during the past
month there is every reason to believe
that it will not be necessary to provide
as many troops for service in the islands
as the present plans contemplate. Cen
eral Macarthur has continued to Insist
upon a minimum force of not less than
60 600 men, but recent reports from the
Philippines to the War Department indi-
cate that it may be possible to police the
islands with a much less number of
troops.
A reduction, however, within the very
near future is not in contemplation. Cen
eral Chaffee will be asked to report to the
War Department as to how many troops
he will consider necessary to maintain
peace and good order during the inaugu-
ration and establishment OF civil govern
ment. He will be expected to make this
report after his inspection of the Philip
pines and the military garrfsons. Mean
while enlistments to recruit the army TO
its maximum strength as provided by the
Army Reorganization bill will continue.
There will be no diminution of effort on
the part of army officials to secure the
necessary number of soldiers for the re-
organized army until it becomes apparent
that smaller force can be used with
safety.
The President and Secretary of War
are disposed TO go slowly in the matter of
policing the islands with a decreased
force. 1t is said at the War Department
that too much care cannot be exercised
in determining this question. and it will
be given the closest investigation before
any action Is taken. The withdrawal of
troops from the Philippines would nee
essarily encourage insurgent leaders to
a renewal of hostilitles and might result
in serious trouble If. however, cOndi-
tions in the islands absolutely warrant it
a reduction can be made at any time in
the future and the army organization de-
creased to any extent desired

Qualifications of the treaty between the

former secures possession of the islands

ratified the treaty and 1t only remained
for the two countries to exchange ratlii-
cations and conclude the negotiations

treaty was the payment TO Spain by the

Representative Babcock. of Wisconsin,
SAYS that he intends early in the next ses-

providing for the removal of tariff duties
on steel. in order to destroy the monopoly
created by the Steel Trust.
He says he proposes to go even further
by making amendments to repeal the tar
if on tin and plate glass, for similar
purpose.
Mr. Babcock explains that he Will not
object if the whole question of the tarifI
comes up for debate. as he sees no reason
why the present tariff law should be for
ever regarded as a perfect statute He
believes that some radical changes in the
tariff ought to be made in the near future.
