WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

April 10Th, 1902.
Ever since the passage of the oleonlar-
garine law the Senate has devoted itself
to the subject of Chinese exclusion and,
while it is assumed when the measure
was called up that two or three days
would suffice to dispose of the matter, no
vote has been taken. The outcome is
more predetermined than it was a week
ago. The vote will be taken to-day,
Wednesday. Senators Hoar, Dillingham;,
Gallinger and Cullom have all declared
themselves opposed to the present meas
ure on one ground or another, and it is
regarded as quite possible that the result
will be the adoption of the amendment
offered by Senator Plat and which con-
sists of substituting the Geary law for the
present bill and re-enacting that.

Friday, April Is, 1902.

President Roosevelt has ordered rigid
investigation of the recent charges against
certain American officers in the Philip
pines, brought out by the testimony at
the Waller court martial proceedings in
Manila. The evidence taken at the court
martial shows a condition of affairs in the
Islands of which the people of the United
States had little idea. The brutal atroc-
tiles perpetrated by some of the officers in
command scarcely have parallel in
modern warfare.

Better Than Pills,

The question has been asked, ''in what
way are Chamberlain Stomach & Liver
Tablets superior to pills? Our answer
is; They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more mild and gentle in effect aud
more reliable, as they can always be de-
pended upon. Then they cleanse and
invigorate the stomach and leave the
bowels in natural condition, while pills
are more harsh in effect and their use Is
often followed by constipation. For sale

An interesting session in the Senate
last Friday was precipitated by Senator
Depew who had, during the morning
hours on Thursday, taken occasion to
express his views OH the proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing that
senators shall be elected by popular vote.
Mr.. Depew gave notice that he would
move an amendment providing for federal
supervision of elections of senators and in
so doing criticised the election laws in
some Southern states, mentioning by
name Mississippi and Kentucky. On
Friday afternoon Senator Blackburn of
the latter state replied to the junior Sen
ator from New York, and his remarks
were sarcastic in the extreme, but he at
all times confined himself to purely par
liamentary usage Wishing to deny GER
tain statements of the New York Senator
he said: at goes without saying that
the truth is innocent of any appearance
in that statement" The passage at arms
between the senators amply demonstrates
that men possessing fine command of
English need resort to no profanity or
Billingsgate to express their difference of
opinion in most forcible terms.

The chances of Presid mt Roosevelt
occupying the Presidential chair for some
weeks longer, during his first term, than
any of his immediate predecessors seem
to be growing. The national committee
appointed to consider the advisability of
changing the date Of Inauguration met
here recently and determined upon the
last Thursday in April as the most favor
able date. There are now forty-three
governors of States who have accepted
their appointment to the committee and
it seems probable that, by their combined
effort, the necessary change in the con-
stitution will be accomplished. AS has
been pointed out, it is not only the
danger to the health of the officials who
take part in an Inauguration which will
be obviated by the change to date when
the weather is more clement, but the
health of many thousands of visitors who
flock to Washington, and who, being
away from home, are often the most
exposed.

General Schofeld appeared before the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs one
day last week and presented his testi-
ulony i'll regard to the proposed army re-
organization bill Among other things
he stated that the present General of the
Army, Miles, was not on speaking terms
with the President or the Secretary of
War and clearly demonstrated the futility
of expecting the best administration of
the army under system which made ii
practically compulsory upon the President
to retain as his chief subordinate a man
with whom he could in no way agree
According to General Scho6eld the, staff
would serve to relieve the Secretary of
War of the administration of many details
for which his usual civilian training has
not fitted him, and the selection of chief
of staff by the President would insure
harmonious action between the Com
mander-in-C and the first military
officer.

was approaching and for fear of
being run over jumped from the

WANTS THE L. & N.

Danville citizens are endeavor-
ing TO persuade the management
of the Louisville and Nashville
raiload to build an extension OF
the line from Junction CITY to
Danville.
II the l.. & N. has some money
to invest and wish to construct a
road through section OF country
that would bring them large re-
turns, they should consider the
purchase of the Frankfort and
Cincinnati from Frankfort to Paris
ard then construct road, going
through North Middletown to Mt
Sterling, purchase the Ky. & ,. A.
extend through Menetee county,
Morgan, Magofin, Floyd and on
TO a connection with the Norfolk
and Western. Such road would
not only 60 somewhere but would
pass through country as rich in
mineral deposits, timber and farm
productions as any other part OF
the South. There is little COM
parison between the resources
along such a line and that the
Southern and l.. & n. have strug-
gled so hard to possess first. The
camel Goals are the finest yet dis
covered, and the bituminous as
good as there is on any part OF the
continent. Along this line would
be found unexcelled forests OF
choice timber and the earth
abounding in fine building stone,
marble, iron ore, lead and in some
parts rich deposits of silver is
claimed. The people would wei
come the L. & n. into this section
and those interested in the road
would be greatly prohted by such
possessions.

Want to Go.

A resolution was presented TO

Commercial Association, negro
organization meeting In Chatta-

propriate $5O0,0OO,000 for the de-
portation of any dissatisfied ne
groes. 1t is claimed that negroes
enjoy in the United States less
political protection than people in
Turkey or China, and that the
United States by reason of mob
violence is assuming first place in
the ranks of lawless nations.

THE NEW ARMY POST

We understand the location OF
the new Army Post has not yet
been made. We desire to suggist
Indian Fields, Holly Wood, Oil
Springs and country surrounding
as the most desirable point in
Kentucky for its location, and if
Lexington, Winchester, Rich
mond, Paris, Stanton, Clay City,
Jackson and Mt. Sterling would
take up the matter and make a
strong pull for it, we could get it,
Indian Fields and the country sur
rounding is one ofthe most beauti-
full and picturesque to be found IN
the state, with plenty of water, on

matter with the proper authorities
and see what can be done.

of Louisville for injuries suffered
in a fall on the sidewalk.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-06-03

Louisville would have Kentucky
advertised at the ST. Louis Fair,
and to that end the Board OF
Trade has effected an organization.
Kentucky can afford to advertise
and make systematic effort by
which the sections may be induced
20 put up for their especial produc-
tiens. Eastern Kentucky for her
coal. timber, Lithograph, Marble,
Fire-clay, Building Stone, Oil etc.
We have all these things and
would be willing to furnish sam

on the part of Louisville shows
enterprise and we trust the spirit
may possess the entire state.

WATER WORKS AND
CITY COUNCIL

A few weeks ago we asked our
people to be as lenient as possible
with the company, which is
spending its money here. The
company has been at heavy eN-
pense-the outlay Of money really
enormous. The trouble seems to
be in regard to height Of standpipe.
The contract calls for $50 feet
and the company stopped at 100
feet. The city requires the addi-
t'onal 80 feet, and the company is
,ulng to comply withthe contract
Ia this they are together We
know Of no reason why the city
could not accept water now, at a
price to be agreed upon, with the
explicit understanding that this
agreement is not to be construed
as accepting the plant, either in
part or whole We would have
our people treat capital fairly, at
the same time guarding against
any advantage Of the city's inter
est.
The city council, thewater com-
piay and insurance companies
may get together and formulate ac.
csptable and beneficial propositions
We do not think we are asking too
much Of the city to consider t c
matter and to do it now, For
every citizen Of Mt. Sierling.is in
terested, in an abundant supply
Of wholesome water and as to
FIRE protection and insurance
rate. Again, it is time
the water company by her
representatives and shareholders
and the city representatives

terprises in our city. We can
