W. s. ELLIOT. Secretary.

The Democrats Of the Fifth district
have been after Senator Mcmillan hot
and heavy to run for congress in this
district this fall. They declare that
he can have the nomination by &C.
clamation and that the Populists will
support him. But he is not going to
be lured into the fight. He knows
what the fate Of the Demo.Pop nom.
inee will be and is not going to offer
up himself az Ia sacrifice. Mcmillan
believes that there Is about as much
honor representing his people in the
upper branch OF the Kansas legisla'
ture as there is in representing them
In the lower branch Of congress.
"Under no circumstances will | run
for congress, said the senator yester-
day. II am delighted with my off.
cisl Job now. I want no other one.

q pastime with me; not q business. l

that he was the personal representa-

he had received all sorts Of divine

Then he went to meeting Of the

that he had q message from the Lord

protesting against certain young

Of the most estimable young ladies Of
Abilene. The superintendent tried
to quiet him and talk him out Of his
notions, but be would not be quiet,
and he abused the young lady fear
fully, although they were the best Of
friends. He wound up by making
wholesale charges against both the
young lady and superintendent.

PHILIPPINE FINANCES.
Interest Rates Very High in the Islands,
Gov. Taft Says-A Plan for Coming
the Peso.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Before the
senate committee Saturday Gov.
Taft said that interest rates in the
Philippines are as high as from 20 to
40 per cent. and that it is very neces-
sary that there should be authority
for granting franchises to financial
concerns which would reduce the in
terest charges. As to the coinage,
Gov. Taft said that it is desira BILE
that the gold dollar should be es-
tablished as a basis. He also advO-
Gated a token coin which should be
exchangeable for gold, and the parity
assured by the United States. This,
he said, is the plan of the commits
sion, and he believed it wise. This
plan embraced the coinage of Phil
ippine peso and the circulation of
this coin, he thought, should be con-
fined to the islands.

HEAVIER HAND ON IRELAND.
Great Britain to Adopt RepressIve Meas
ures to Restore Order and yindicate Law
in the Disaffected Island.

London. Feb. 1O.-Ireland's violent
and implacable attitude toward Eng
lish rule is among the subjects anx-
iously considered by the cabinet. 1t
is believed that the government in
tends to lay heavier hand on the
nationalist agitation, lest the situa-
ton become so serious as to require
something like d military campaign
to restore order and vindicate law in
the disaffected island.
The home rule press deprecates a
resort to rigorous measures and pre-
diets a reign of unarmed rebellion
leading to absolute militarism. Mr..
Redmond seems rather to welcome
the crisis and openly asserts in par
lament that rebellion in Ireland is
only a question of eNpediency. He
adds that the sole alternative to home
rule is the complete Acknowledgement
of the Irish constituencies.
