THIRD CAUCUS
OF REPUBLICANS
Met and Adopted Resolution il
Regard to Disfranchisement
of Voters.
nv associated Prc,s)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Repuo-
lican members Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives held a third caucus to-liSiil
to consider the question OF Southeiii eios'
tons. The attendance was not aSi iiui,e -
Gus as at former gatherings, SPeahei
Henderson not attending and only 90 he'
publicans out of a total Of l93 being pres
ent This was short of a quorum, pue
the meeting proceeded, with speedy alu
definite results, a resolution being adopted
asking the House Committee ON Kuies u
report a resolution for a special inVes-
tigating committee of eleven members
to consider questions relating to the DIS
franchisement Of voters.
Representative Cannon, of Illinois, oc-
cupied the chair, and in the absence OF
Mr. .Loudensiager, Representative raw
ney, of Minnesota, acted as secretary. 1T
was agreed at the outset that the vote
should be taken at 9 o'clock. Representa-
tive Dick, of Ohio, then presented a reso-
luton as a substitute for that Of MIR.
Crumpacker.
The debate was brief and was entirely
favorable to the adoption OF the resolu-
ton. Mr.. Dick supported it on the ground
that it was simply a preliminary step
with a view to ascertaininS facts, leaF-
ing the question Of remedy to be deter
mined when the House was in possession
of all the facts. Mr.. Crumpacker con-
Cured in this view and readily accepted
the resolution in lieu Of the one he had
first introduced, which proposed not only
an investigation. but also fixed the rem
edy-namely, a reduction Of representa-
ton in Congress proportionate to the eA-
tent of dsfranchisement.

PHILIPPINE CONSTABULARY.
Able to Control Some Provinces Without
Aid of Troops.
(Ey Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE
War Department made public to-day a
report of Captain Henry 7. Allen, Sixth
Cavalry, dated Manila, December 18th,
concerning the Philippine constabulary,
of which he is chief. Captain Allen says
the constabulary consisted of $500 men
and was able to control. without the aid
of troops sthe provinces of Abra, Bon
toe, Union, Lepanto, Bouquet, Nueya,
Viscaya, Bataan, Principe and Infanta.
Up to the date of the report there had
been only two men lost from the force
by dcsertion-a showing attributed to
care in the selection of the men.
Captain Allen states that in chasing
down the robber bands the constabulary
is more efficient than the American
troops, and while one large garrison in
many Of the provinces may be always
necessary, it is his opinion, after a tho
rough study of conditions. that in. one
years time 1900 American soldiers, with
the native contingent OF troops and the
constahulary. will suffice to garrison the
Philippine Archipelago.

WEEKLY REST.
A Reform for Which Working Men In
Chicago Are Contending.

Sn1CdHO arc SOuIS0010ks
From the Chicago Tribune.
Complete cessation from work on Sunday
Is impossible to modern civilization. This
admission might as well be made at the
outset by the people to whom Sunday clos
ing commends itself as a desirable reform.
Railways, restaurants and newspapers for
instance, must continue to operate on Sum-
day in order to make Sunday day Of rest
and pleasure to people engaged In trades
in which Sunday work is Of no value to
anybody. This Is what might be called the
Social reason. The weekly holiday Is Of
no service to the people who take 1t unless
they are provided with the facilities by
means of which they can secure amusement
and diversion. An oysterlike holiday, dur
Ing which every man lies sluggishly in his
shell. may be rest to people whose work Is
racterized by varied and exhausting in
tellectual activities. but It Is not rest at all
to people whose work Is in itself combining
and monotonous. Such people must have
an open and active Sunday. In order that
they may have it certain other people must
keep at work,
Besides this Social. reason for Sunday
work there Is also, OF course, an eco
nomic' reason. There are certain indus
trial operations which require continuity.
Breaks and lapses are expensive. The pro-
cess OF stopping anu starunS up again Is
often serious economic waste. Some
trades are like through trains, that must
keep on going II they mean to accomplish
anything. A factory that lets itself cool
down and then has to warm up is often In
a fair way to lose a great deal more than
one-seventh Of its efficiency and capacity.
Even II we grant, though, that both for
social and economic reasons some people
must work on Sunday we are not affecting
the truth Of the general principle that
most people ought not to work on Sunday,
and that all people ought, II possible, to
have one day Off in every week.
