definite ASSURANCE to the FilipinoS as
TO the purposes of this government. He
advocated the speeay adoption OF res
olution declaring that sit is the pur-
pose of the United States in retaining
possession of the Philippine islands. to
aid their inhabitants, when they sub
nit to the authority OF the United
States, in establishing o capable and
stable free government. and when this
purpose shall be fully accomplished the
United States. under such reservation
and conditions as may be wise and
just, will relinquish sovereignty in
those islands"
The reading of Mr. Browns resolu-
ton caused something of a sensation,
coming from the republican side. and
the democratic members broke into
long-continued applause. Mr.. Brown
urged that in all fairness this assur-
ance should be given to the Filipinos
without further delay. 1t might be
the plan even now in mind but what
was most essential was that the assur-
ance be given Immediately and definite
ly to the Filipinos. He characterized
the idea of breaking the pledge given
to Cuba as the climax of greed and as
a doctrine of freebooters and pirates"

CURIOUS OLD WATCH FOUND
AntiquarIans Interested In a Large
Silver TImepiece Bearing
Date of 1927.

Antiquarians are engaged in examin-
ing watch found recently on Poverty
island, at the mouth of the Connecticut
river, by Hub Gillard. a clam-digger
and vender. The watch is a large silver
one, to which was attached long,
heavy chain, both ends of which are
fast in the ring. Five inches above the
fastening of one end the chain had
been cut nearly in two.
The outside of the watch appears to
have been nicely engraved, but on the
side which lay uppermost, the design
cannot be made out, as the action of the
water and sand has made the plate as
smooth as ice. On the inside of the out
er case is engraved name which can
not be made out, and the date, 1927.
Whether this really is an old relic
and marks the scene of an accident or
tragedy probably will never be known.
