treatment as he has difficulty in retaining
nourishrnent owing 10 great weakness Whites
~ eggs warm milk and a little brandy have been
his nourishment almost exclusively. Mr.. VAN

very poor heart action, is source even now
Of apprehension.

Seeking oubernatoriaI Honors.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb 20.-One of the

cratic leaders in the fusion movement
He announces that he will not be a

SPANISH WAR DEMANDED
Senator Burrows Says Our Right to Phil.
ippineS Is InqneStiOnabc

Washington Feb. 20.-After routine
business had been finished in the sen.
ate yesterday, Mr.. Burrows. OF Michi
gan, made an address upon the Phil
ippine tariff bill. He said that It was
not his purpose TO discuss fully the
Philippine question, but to show sim
ply how the United States was in the
Philippines. and why it should remain
in the islands. He said that congress
now was dealing with questions as
they were found today, and not as
they had been in the past or might be
in the future. He felt that the nation
was confronted by a condition and not
by a theory.
1--WE hold" said he. the Philippine
Islands by a title that cannot be chal-
lenged by any court in Christendom.
We have become responsible for them
to the nations of the world The
pending bill simply provides revenues
sufficient to meet the needs of the gov
eminent of the Philippines"
After he had compared briefly the
pending bill and the substitute Of
fered by the minority, he entered on
a discussion of the events which led
up to the war with Spain. The war
he said, was in response to the popu-
lar demand in the United States. and
no people we're more clamorous for a
war than those who now constituted
the minority

REIGN OF TERROR
In SPANISA CITY
Two Hundred Persons Have Been
Killed and Many Others Wounded
in Barcelona

Barcelona, Feb. 20.-The situation
here does not improve, and none Of
the strikers have resumed work The
authorities, finding it necessary TO
adopt drastic measures, have armed
all the policemen with Remington
rifles. Throughout yesterday there
had been conflicts in almost every
quarter Of the city, in which many
were wounded on both sides, and in
which the rioters often almost over
powered the police. Two batteries Of
artillery stationed here have been or
dered to hold themselves in readiness
to occupy the principal streets Of the
city with their field pieces.
The printers on strike have threat
ened death to any of their comrades
daring to resume work. There have
been many cases where armed stril
ers concealed themselves and "sniped'
the troops. At San Martin. a suburb
of Barcelona, the strikers fired from
the housetops on the troops. The lat
ter thereupon fired at the balconies,
killing a woman and a child. In one
conflict in the center of the town,
five men were killed and three were
wounded. The owner of a factory was
stabbed and killed by the strikers. 1t
is alleged that already 200 persons
have been killed and 100 wounded,
but the authorities conceal the real
figures. All the theatres there are
closed. The strikers assemble on the
railroad bridges and fusillade the
trains with stones. They threaten to
use dynamite unless the railroad com
nanies stnn running trains.
