TOOK THE OATH.
Many FiIipinOs Swear Allegiance to
the United States.

the United States.
WASHINGTON, January 26-The
last mail from the Philippines includes
a brief report made by Gen. Young, of
an important event in Santa Maria, on
December 2, when 2,1S0 IIatipunans
voluntarily renowned connection with
the insurrection and swore allegiance
to the United States government This
number includes 1900 sworn bOlomen.
The oath of allegiance was admins
tered with all solemnty by Padre Cura
Conception in the church of Santa
Maria and was followed by a TIE Deum
and benediction. The ceremonies last
ed from 8 O'Clock in the morning until
o'clock in the evening, and included
an address by Gen. Young, interpreted
by the presidente, and an earnest eX-
hOrtation by the padre.
Gen. Young says that the natives
who have sworn allegiance to the
United States include about all the
men capable of bearing arms within
the jurisdiction of Santa Maria. which.
he says, is considered the first town
in that district.
Il believe says he, my action to-
Gay to be in the best interests Of orr
cause. Three reasons seem to have
brought about this condition of affairs,
viz:
First. the reelection Of Mckinley
Second. and stronger, the arrival
of more troops in the district
Third, and strongest, the vigorous
enforcement of war measures and de-
pOrtftiOn of prisoners
1t will be necessary to occupy all
Pueblos and patrol the Barrios to pro-
tect these people against the venge-
ance of Tasalo leaders. This l have
promised them as far as lies in my
power. This action in the jurisdiction
of Santa Maria will have a good effect
on adjoining jurisdiction of Narva-
can"

THE DEMANDS TO Be MADE
By UNITED MINE WORKERS.
FIRST COMES A STRAIGHT, SINGLE
STANDARD BASIS OF PAY
MENT.
THE RUN-oF-MINE RATE ONLY.
AN ADVANCE OF TEN CENTS A TON
AND UNIFORM SCALE FOR
OUTSIDE LABOR.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 26.-The
demand to be made by the United
Mine Workers of America at their
joint conference with the delegates
from the Interstate Operators Asso-
citation at Columbus, o., next week,
was outlined at an executive session
held here to-day.
These demands will include, first, an
absolute single standard, or run-of-
mine basis to cover the entire compe-
tative field including Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Also a de-
mand for a general advance of 10
cents per ton over the present mine
run prices in the different districts.
In Indiana this would mean a
straight mining price of 50 cents in
the bituminous districts. The mining
price of mine run coal differs in the
various fields and is calculated upon
the percentage of slack contained in
the other States. A scale of prices
for outside and inside day labor will
be fixed at the joint conference and
will obtain in all Of the districts of the
competitive field
One resolution introduced to-day
was to ask that the Chinese exclusion
act be extended fifty years after it's
expiration in May of this year
The anthracite scale will be present
ed Monday morning. 1t will be en-
brace in its preamble a resolution
making it obligatory upon the national
officers to extend Ut once to the opera
tors of the anthracite district an in
vitation to meet the representatives
of the three districts in a scale confer
ence during March. This will be fol-
lowed by a demand for an advance
which is believed will be about 10
per cent over the highest price paid
at present in the anthracite field.
The scale will also embrace the ad-
justment of the conditions objected
to at the time an invitation was Tex
tended to the operators to hold a wage
scale preceding the anthracite strike.

PHILIPPINE QUESTIONS
and THE EXTRA SESSION.
WHICH THE PRESIDENT CONSIDERS
NEEDFUL FOR THEIR TNMEDI-
ATE CONSIDERATION,
DISCUSSED BY SENATORS.
CONSIDERABLE OPPOSITION DE-
VELoPED To THE PLAN BECAUSE
1T Is UNNECESSARY.

WASHINGTON, January 26.-That
Senators regard seriously the prospect
of an extra session of Congress In
view of the Presidents urgent recon-
mendation of legislation concerning
the Philippine islands was evidenced
to-day by the activity of those who
desire to avoid an extra session. The
speculation concerning the probability
of called session was rendered more
definite by the fact that Senators
known to he generally well informed
concerning the Presidents plans join
ed in the discussion of the outlook.
Careful inquiry also developed tho
fact that the President mas canvassed
the subject with a few Senators. He
does not appear to have indicated any
fixed determination, but rather to have
consulted them as to the advisabnity
of such proceeding. In all such in
stances he seems to have had the ne
cessity of Philippine legislation in
view and Senator's generally express
the opinion that in case a meeting is
called the Philippine question viii re-
ceiye the lions share OF attention.
The urgency of the administration
on this point is due TO the Importantly
of the Taft commission. the members
of which. appear to have supplemented
their official recommendation for ear
ly action with private letters not only
to the President but to members OF
the cabinet and Senator Sewell. They
insist upon the necessity OF early rec
ignition of the civil rights of the Fill
pmOs and civil government for them.
One Senator who has giyen~much at
tentlon to the Philippine question
said:
THE Senate would talk a Month on
a resolution declaring that the Philip
pines are the Philippines" as an illus
tration OF his idea of the hcpelessness
of securing legislation before the 4ans.
cusion OF the present session
Senators are divided upon the qucs-
tion OF the necessity of congressional
action upon the Cuban constitution.
Some contend that Congress will not
be called upon to act in any way
upon the constitution.
The Senators who oppose the ship
subsidy bill are especially opposed 20
an extraordinary session and will do
all they can to prevent the calling OF
one.

Dr.. Marshall II. Bailey, the college
physician, who was first called. said as
far as he could tell, Cranes death
might have resulted from other causes
than the blow. He said there was no
external sign Of violence and that
Crane might have died from heart d.
sease.
The police will take no action II any
until the autopsy opinion Is announced.

NEW YORK. January 26.-John F.
Mcintyre, special assistant district ct
torney in the case OF DR.. Samuel J.
Kennedy. accused of the murder of
Dolly" Reynolds. announced to-day
that Kennedy would surely go on trial

Because OF the death of the official
stenCgrapher, who reported the pro
ceedings at Kenneiy's first trial. when
he was found guilty and sentenced 10
death and the disappearance of several
witnesses for the prosecution. it was
thought that the case against Kennedy
would be materially weakened. The
law provides that the evidence taken
down by an official stenographer must
be sworn to by the stenographer be-
fore it can be used in a second pro-
ceeding. The death of the stenograph-
er made the evidence at the first trial
worthless.

- BEUTlFYiNG THE HOME.

Mrs. s. C. Jackson of North Broad street, Philadelphia, Pa, is a we'll known critic in house decorating and it is said that her own home is marvel of com fort and attractiveness, in spite of the fact that the lady is not overburdened with this worlds wealth. In a recent conversation with a reporter Mrs. Jack son said: 9s'
 Tt is really Veryeasy to decorate ones home arti3tically and at absolutely no actual cost if one goes the right way about it. Pictures are the best orna- ments, in my opinion. They strike the eye at once and relieve the dreary monot- ony of bare walls. If I could have ex- pensive pictures in rich frames I would do so, but, not being wealthy. I have to curb my ambitions. Yet there are really beautiful and artistic productions which make great impression on the beholder, and their cost is infinitesimal, in fact they can be had for nothing"
 How may they be obtained for noth- ing, Mrs. Jackson?" the reporter inquir- ed. That must surely be valuable piece of knowledge"
 "Oh I don't know. There are hun dreds of thousands of families in the country doing the same as I am, I sup pose. Anybody who has a habit of thrift and who exercises little common sense has the same opportunity. You see my D. but we are particular about the drand we use. My husband would not touch the glazed or coated coffees under any consideration, he has an abhorrence of them, and In this respect we agree. We would not let our children drink such coffee either. As we are great coffee consumers we naturally want the purest most fragrant and healthful Conse- quently we buy the Lion brand all the time"
 Perhaps you are aware that Lion Coffee Is sold in one pound packages, in the bean only. Every package has a lion head on the wrapper, and by saving up these heads I can get my choice of beautiful pictures, or other household or naments and necessities, by sending them to the Woolson Spice Co.,, Toledo, O.. indicates from the premium list Just what article I want, and enclosing a g. cent stamp to pay for postage of my pie ture or other article.'
 FAnd are these premiums given away all the year round, Mrs Jackson?"
 Yes, but new premium list is issued by the Woolson Spice Co.,, every year. by | the way, there will be a new one publish ed September l, 1901 It is claimed that this one is to exceed all the previous ones in the quantity and quality of the pres ents. This will be an excellent oppor- tunity for careful housekeepers to com mence buying Lion Coffee. Apart from the premiums, though. those who take this hint will thank me for giving it, as they are sure to find Lion Coffee to their liking and there is no purer brand on the market
 The reporter thanked Mrs Jackson for her information and withdrew.
