WHAT FILIPlNOS WANT.
Federal Party's Memorial Sub
mitted to the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The memorial
of the Federal party of the Philippine
islands has been transmitted to the SEN
ate by the secretary of war together
with a letter of transmittaI by Cover
nor Taft, in whose charge the document
was given. The memorial was adopted
at an extraordinary session of the Fed
eral party, held in Manila in November.
1t sets forth that the performance of
that obligation of the treaty of Paris,
which gave the United States congress
authority to fix the status of the Philip
pine islands has been deferred to this
time because of the attack by the Fill
pinoS upon the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States, an act brought about the
memorial says, through a misunder-
standing and not through hatred of the
American sovereignty. 1t further
states that out of the sixty provinces
and districts war exists in only two
BatangaS and Samar. 1t also asserts
pueblos or towns anXiously desire "a
definitive civil rule" and says those
who are still in arms allege the lack of
a civil regime. agreed upon and pro-
mulgated by the congress of the United
States as weighty pretext for their
belligerent attitude, which regime shall
determine t once the political status
and civil rights of the inhabitants of
the archipelago in accordance with the
treaty of Paris.
The memorial then makes a presen-
ton of the deduction of the federal
party that congress should proceed to
carry into effect it's intentions of de-
fining the future of the Philippines in
their relations to the United States and
asserts that there is no reason for not
replacing the military regime by a
civil rule of a popular character in con-
formity with the decisive words of the
never to be forgotten President McKin-
ley
The memorial proper is divided into
two parts. The first of these is a petit
tion for annexation and a petition of
the form of government desired In
this subdivision the Federal party sets
forth that it has made an exhaustive
study of both the F'ilipinos and the
Americans and concludes that from the
mass of data collected it is the 'inten-
ton of the two peoples that they should
never be disunited.' The memorial an
nounces as principles for this union the
forma ton of a more perfect union,
establishment of justice, the insurance
of domestic tranquility, promotion of
the general welfare and the securing of
the blessings of liberty" The memorial
then proceeds:
ITO make the Philippines a colony of
the United States or to grant indepen-
dence to the Philippines would be to
hand the islands over to disorder and to
anarchy, to destruction and to chaos. In

About 10 beautiful press proofs of the
full-page half tone cuts to appear in the
forthcoming Santa Fe book about the

yesterday at the office of General Pas
senger Agent W. J. Black of the Santa
Fe- These proofs comprise an entirely

The new book will be about the finest
thing in the advertising line ever is
sued by the road-and the most expen-

through the fact that articles about the
canyon are contributed by a number of
celebrated authors and travellers. Among

of the directors of the Santa Fe road

Our most serious trouble and the
principal cause of the abandonment of
the scheme was our inability to keep
the cars in proper sanitary condition
during the entire trip This cannot be
done while it is occupied.
The cars now will be operated only
to FL PaSo, where a change will be made
and fresh cars boarded ON the other side
of the border. The recent railroad leg
islation in Mexico might have caused
such a change later, but it did not fig
ure seriously with us in causing the
abandonment of our service
The action of the Santa Fe, railroad
men say, will be a strong object lesson

eating through cars and trains from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Travellers prefer to change cars for
the sake of health and comfort on these

San BernardinO Thinks 1t Has
Been Settled.
Final Blue Prints Said to Be in
Preparation

1t is reported from San Bernardino
that the Santa Fe has decided to ap-
propriate 81, ,OO0, 600 for the improvement
of the coast lines, of which s5o0,0O0 IS to
be used in constructing new shops at
San BernardinO.
This report is not confirmed by the
local officials of the road They admit
that San Bernardino is out of their
jurisdiction, but are of the opinion that
none of the appropriations for 1902 have
been definitely announced from Chi
cago. If an appropriation of S1,OOO'Ooo
had been decided upon they think that
they would have heard of it.
The report as printed in the San Ber-
nardinO Sun, is as follows:

the apportionment of money for i'm

voted one million dollars to the better

1t was understood at that time, and
indeed for many months before, that
it. would be given to improving the
properties of the company in San Ber-
nardinO. Furthermore, a Santa Fe con-
tractor said to a reporter for the Sun
a few weeks ago that he had made
rough estimates of the cost of such ad-

believed that they could not be built
for less than S5000O0. I believe the

NEW FAST MAIL.
Union Pacific Said to Be Planning q

It is rumored that the Union Pacific
Will put on fast mail between Kansas
City and Denver. 1t is understood that
it will be a race between the Rock ISL
and and the Union Pacific as to which
will reach Denver first. The Union Pa
cific has the advantage in the race ds
il not only has the shortest line, but the
Rock Island runs over its tracks from
Kansas City to Topeka and from LimOl
Junction. Col, to Denver.
The Union Pacific is still talking of
beginning work on the cutoff between
Brookville and Russell. This would
shorten the Union Pacific's line by sew
eral miles besides avoiding some bad
hills.

More Harmful
Than Alcohol
Overeating Worst Form
of Intemperance.

If your food is undigested. you are un-
derfed, no matter how much you eat.
And the underfed man is, to the extent
of the undertaking, crippled for the
battle of life. On the other halo,
there is such q thing as overeating.
The harm done by indigestion caused
by overloaded etomachs exceeds that
from the increased heart beats caused
by the use of alcohol or whiskey.
Eat as much good food as you need
but don't overload the stomach. II
your stomach is weak It may refuse to
digest what you cat. Then you ought
to use good digestant like Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, which digests what you
eat without the Stomach's aid. This
rest and the wholesome tonics con-
tained in Kodol Dyspepsia Cure soon
restore health. You don't have to diet.
Don't eat too much. That's harmful.
But eat enough and of sufficient varie-
ty. Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure will digest
