THE FEDERAL PARTY
OF the Philippines Presents It's Me.
mortal to Congress.

Washington. Feb. l2.-The memorial
OF the Federal party of the Philippine
Islands was transmitted to the Senate,
this afternoon, by the secretary of war,
together with "A letter of transmittal by
Coy. Taft. 1t sets forth that the, per-
Torrance of that obligation of the
treaty of Paris which gave the United
Statas Congress authority to fix the
status Of the Philippine islands has
heen deferred to this time because OF
the attack of the .Filipinos upon the
sovereignty of the United States an act
brought about through n misunder-
standing. 1t further states that out OF
the so provinces and districts war ex-
lists In only two-Batangas and Samar
Il also asserts that 1t is a demonstrated
fact that the pueblos.- or towns, anx-
iously desire "a definite civil; rule" and
says those who are still in arms sallege
Ethe lack of a+ciril regime. .S.ss3S;s
4 The memorial then makes q presen-
tation of the. deduction of-the Federal
party that Congress should proceed 10
carry into effect its Intention of defin-
ing the future of the Philippines in
their relations TO the United States.
The memorial concludes that from
the mass of data collected it is 'the in
tention of the two peoples that they
should never be disunited.'
II proceeds: philippine independ-
ence. with or without protectorate
means a holding of power by all the
terrible elements Of the sects which
|predominate, and would predominant
still for some years. until the anger OF
Filipinos toward Filipinos shall have
been completely calmed, EDUCATION be-
come general and the fanaticism we
have inherited from Spain exiled. Fed
Grafton or annexation would settle all
these difficulties by concentrating the
interest of the Filipino people upon ed.
ueation and labor"
The memorialists then pray a dec
laration by Congress that the Philip
pine islands constitute q territory, with
the right of becoming a. state of the
Union.
A preliminary form of government
similar to that of the territories of the
United States is outlined. a
The plan provides for governor and
four executive secretaries to be ap-
pointed by the President of the United
States and for a territorial Senate in
addition to a House of Representatives
consisting Of 81 members, 16 of whom

BRINGS THE PROOF.
CONTINUED from page IL

Cranborne. in the house OF Commons,
yesterday caused amazement here,
since the German officials assume that
Lord Pauncefote's proposal OF April Ia
1898, to the ambassadors of the other
countries could not have been made
without Instructions from the home
government. The German officials
point out that Henry Norman's query
in the House OF Commons was shaped
purposely TO give il the appearance OF
covering fully the North German Ga
zette's statement OF Monday, without
doing so, since the German side has
never charged that the British ambas-
sadors generally did anything, but.
that one ambassador, Lord Panuce-
fote, made u proposal. Lord Gran
brone's answer. therefore. is treated
here as being mere verbal quibble.
Moreover, the impression made on
the ambassadors Of the other powers,
at the conference held at Washington,
April IA. 1895, was not that Lord
Pauncefote was merely sounding them
to determine how an Intervention pro-
posal expected later from Austria,
would be received. Lord Pauncefote's
pTOpOSsll WAS uIlueIStVou 1s aii 'At'N
pendent initiative.
referring further TO the statement
cabled from American official sources
that the United States never received
such proposition from the Great Brit
ain as described from here the inform
ant of the correspondent of The Asso-
ciated Press added: "Of course not. We
have never charged that the matter
reached the American government but
said that the proposition was baked by
Germany before so going so far

sided. The morning session was taken
up entirely with the presentation of re-
ports.
In his report President Earle referred
to the downward slide of the member

tions similar to that tried and found
not wanting at New Bedford, Mass.
AS the only safeguard for the organiza-
t,nn. the existence of which is now ly-
ing in the balance.
Secretary Bassett of Boston, said the
affairs of the L. A. w. are in O condi-
ton for careful consideration and wise
action. He compared membership fig
u-es of a year ago with those of today.

6ored the fold than remained in the
ranks, the membership having de-
creased from 1888 to 1850.

CRUEL METHODS
Of Treating Piles and Rectal Diseases

The old methods Of treating piles by
the knife. by ligature or dilatation, be-
sides causing intense pain and fire.
quently collapse and death. are now
known to be worse than useless as far
as actually curing the trouble is con-
cerned. .+-'
Derangement Of the liver and other
internal organs. as well as constipa-
ton. often causes piles. and il is q
mistake to treat it as 4 purely local
disease; this is the reason why salves
and ointments have 50 little effect and
the widespread success OF the Pyramid
Pile Cure has demonstrated 1t.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a
salve nor ointment but Is in SUPPOSE
tory form. which is applied at night,
Fabsorbed into the sensitive rectal
membrane and acts both as a local
and constitutional treatment, and in
cases OF many years standing has made
thousands OF permanent cures.
Many pile sufferers who have under
gone surgical operations without relief
or cure have been surprised by results
from a few weeks treatment with the
Pyramid suppository.
The relief from pain is SO immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiates or CO.
caine, but such is not the case, IL is
guaranteed absolutely free from any
injurious drtg.
The cure Is the result of the healing
oils and astringent properties of the
remedy, which cause the little tumors
and eongested blood vessels to con.
tract and n natural circulation Is es-
tablished.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents for f,ill-sized package.

Long Drawn Controversy Over
swamp Land Grant In Adfusfed

Long Drawn Controversy Owe,
swamp Land Grant IL Adjusted,
Duluth. Mimi, Feb. 4. - The Ions
drawn controversy between the State
Of Minnesota and the Duluth & Iron
Range Railroad company over the
swamp land grant of that company. in
volving 45.O79 acres of land that in
cludes three valuable iron mines has
finally been adjusted satisfactorily to
all parties. The case was a somewhat
complicated one. Subsequent to the
granting by the state to the Iron Range
road OF ten sections or swamp land
Tor each mile of the railroad, the roads
title became clouded by it's alleged fall
ure to comply with certain conditions
or the grant and a suit resulted, On
Jan. 8, 1900. Judge Lochren of the Unit
ed States court decided that the COM
pany's title was valid and attached to
its decree was Il list of lands to which
the company's title was declared abso-
lutte. Over year later it was dis
covered that list included by mistake
45,O79 acres of land held in trust by the
state for the benefit Of state tnstitu-
lions. An investigation developed that
the error was a clerical one or mis-
apprehension on the part of the at
torneys. The problem however. was
difficult one for the state. because
the time for the appeal from the decree
had expired. Proposals were then sub
mitted by the state officials to the rail-
road company for an adjustment and
after long negotiations these have been
accepted. Tn effect the company re-
leases all state institution lands and
VIII select other swamp land in lieu OF
them within six months. Judge Loeb
rem will modify his decree in accord
ance with the stipulations.
