-Chaffee'S Conclusions.

Manila. Jan. 29-The criticism of
the senate minority report on the Phil
ippine tariff bill has been general. both
in public and private here. though
many people admit the statements
made in the report are correct. Gen
eral Wheaton's vigorous criticisms re-
ferred entirely TO Professor Schur-
mans speech at Boston. though he
holds the professor in high personal
esteem. The statement that Il person
who made such remarks here as those
credited to the professor during his
Boston speech would be sent to jail,
referred merely To the recent seditiOn
law.
Outlook i'm Batangas Is Favorable.
Major Lot and three FilipinOs, lieu
tenants. with ten rifles, three revolV-
ers and twenty-four boloS, surrendered
to Major Anderson, of the Sixth cav

tangas. Lot was brought in sick. on
a litter. He was cordially hated at
Lipa, where he looted $4,000 worth
of jewelry from prominent families.
NickersOn's scouts have captured Col
onel Lot. a brother OF Major Lot. near
Batangas. Lieutenant William Il.
Larnes, of the Sixth cavalry, has had
a slight engagement with some Fill
pinOs during which he killed two in
surgentS and captured captain and
two soldiers. The general outlook in

This aroused angry protests on the
Republican side. and they demanded
the name of the author of the letter,
which Teller did not know, and said
he would not tell if he knew. He pro-
ceeded to talk about censorship of the
press dispatches when he was inter
rupted by quotations from Taft's re-
cent interview denying such censor
ship. He persisted that there was
censorship. when Deveridge interrupt
ed, declaring he was personally cogniZ-
ant of the fact that there was no cell
sorship at Manila. He was well ac-
quainted, he said. with the Associated
Press correspondent in Manila, and
knew from him that the censorship
had been suspended. Why, therefore,
he said. Teller persisted in making his
assertion concerning censorship was
not clear.
This irritated Teller, and he declared
that This is the first time in my eX-
perience that Il senator mas gained the
floor to ask question and then
charged the senator who yielded to
him with being liar" Beveridge
promptly disclaimed any intention OF
discOurtesy toward Teller. but insisted
that he would now and at al other
times correct misstatements when they
were persisted i'm by other senators.
The Colorado statesman proceeded
without interruption for time. But
he went up against it, when he de
ciared with reference to the criticism
made by General Wheaton on Schur-
mans speech. that there is not SEN
atOr on that side of the chamber
[pointing TO the Republican sidel who
does not know that the statements in
that dispatch were true"
Instantly a half dozen Republican
senators. including Lodge. Hawley and
PIatt of Connecticut. sprang to their
feet, uttering protests against the Colo
RADIO senator's statements. THAT is
not true. and l will not permit 1t to go
unchallenged," declared Lodge.
'sFhen I Will change IT." said Teller.

why Mountains Never Grow smaIle,

The mountains are always moving
down into the valleys. When spring
time comes, every stream will run
muddy in it's course. AT this rate all
the soil from the hills would soon be
gone were not this soil being constant
ly replaced. Water soaks into the
creviceS of the rocks, and when it
freezes it swells with almost irresisti-
bic force. That a very little of it can
crack an iron pipe most of us have
found out to our cost. Thus the rock
is split, and the pieces made in this
way are again broken into finer and
finer fragments until new soil is made
to take the place of that which is so
rapidly moving down to the lowlands.

Home Journal.

Street Car Straps.

1t is not entirely prudent to put your
hands in the straps furnished in the
street cars for overflow passengers.
Turn one of these straps in any car
not fresh from the shops inside out.
and the reason will be plain. Handled
as thes are by all sorts and conditions
of men, they are really carriers Of dis
case. The abraded skin Of your finger
may touch an infected spot, and dan
gerous bacteria may adhere to it, which
at the next movement of the hand may
be transferred to the delicate tissues
of the mouth or eyes.-Exchange.

tion"-TeIIer Asks for Policy.
Later the South Carolina senator
again interrupted. asking SpOoner:
when you quoted the constitution a
moment ago in regard to the power of
congress in dealing with territory and
other property. did you include men as
other property, whose liberty and lives
and all rights are To be jeOpardiZed or
to be destroyed in this country. and
whether they are prOperty-whether
people are property You bought them
ut 81 head. II is true, but did you in
tend to give them their liberty. as we
propose, or do you propose to hold
them under the bayonet, under carpet
bag government more damnable than
you put on us in 1SfSE'
That is the old question: replied
SpOOner. The power to occupy in
habited territory involves the power. l
suppose. to change the allegiance. We
acquired Louisiana. No one ever pre-
tended that men and women We're
bought and sold i'm that transaction" T"
At the conclusion Of SpOOner'S re
marks Teller offered an amendment TO
The pending bill that provides that
the constitution and all laws of the
United States which are not locally
inapplicable shall have the same force
and effect within the said Philippine
archipelago as elsewhere within the
United States" Teller insisted that
there was not foot of ground outside
Manila where Il citizen of the United
States could walk without the protec-
tion of bayonets. and he wanted to
know when the government is going
TO bring about peace, and what the
policy is.
He said that the OutrageS and tor
lures committed in the Philippines %.
the Spaniards had been increased since
the advent of the Americans into tlse
islands, as was always the case when
the Anglo-SaXon succeeded the IAN
guild Latin in such an undertaking.
He said that Il private letter from
an army officer liz the Philippines had
been received in Washington, in which
an army officer was quoted as saying
with respect TO the establishment Of
concentration camps: IF this thing
is to continue l will have to apologize
to Weyler'' Another officer was quot
ed as adding: The time has come
when I'm ready to apologize to him

Chicago, Jan. 29.-OwnerS of sky

ers sat quietly i'm their cOZy offices and
chuckled With the cold weather as
an ally the coal dealers and Coal Team
sters' union of Chicago have begun Il
fight on consumers of fuel gas TO force
them to use coal the year around. The
proposition submitted to the patrons or
the gas companies yesterday was:
Use coal the year around or depend
entirely upon gas to heat your build

in the city are heated in mild weather
by gas. Among them are the Victoria

The wOrkmen declare that they are

Such candies as peanut brittle are far
less injurious than fancy mixtures, as
they are made by simply melting sugar
and are without acids. Acid in the
presence of heat splits ordinary sugar
into two forms, deXtrOse and levulose.
These are both deadly sweets and much
more prone to fermentation than real
sugar This is the reason why so many
housewives cannot make good cranber-
