seem, the fate of this latter bill will
depend largely upon the weather, as it
is generally conceded that if it is eX-
tremely hot it will be impossible to
prevail upon congress to remain in ses-
sion long enough to act upon this i'm
portant legislation.
Mr.. Cortelyou, secretary to the presi
dent, tells me there is absolutely no
truth in the statement sent out by a
New York newspaper correspondent to
the effect that the president had sig
nitied his disapproval of the alleged in
tenJion of the French government to
decorate Admiral Dewey and General
Miles lit the time of the unveiling of
the Rochambeau statue. He said that
the president had never heard of such
intention until it was brought to his
notice in the article referred to. OF
course, were the French government
to confer such decoration, it would re
quire an act of congress before the
officers would be permitted to accept
but that is matter of law and some
thing with which the president has
nothing to do. There are now on the
calendars of congress numerous bills to
permit the acceptance by United
States officers and employees, including
General John NJ. Schofeld, of similar
hOnors conferred by France and the
disinciination of congress to act on
them would seem likely ito deter the
French government from making SINH
lar offers.
The Investigation of the Cuban
sugar situation by the senate commit
tee on relations with Cuba has made
considerable progress and has failed
absolutely of developing the alleged
fact that the trust will be in any
way benefited by the granting of re-
ciprocal tariff concessions to Cuba.
he indications are that the president
and his supporters have been benefit
ted. rather than otherwise. by the
adoption Of Senator Teller's resolu-
tiOn.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

The event of the past week in the
senate was the masterly address of
Senator Lodge, delivered last Monday
afternoon, in which the senator from
Massachusetts set forth. in fauitless
rhetoric, the real situation in the
Philippines and caused the democratic
senators to vince under the logic with
with which he dissected their attacks
on the admin istration and on the
American army in the Philippines
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.
Lodge had requested that he be not
interrupted during his speech demo
cratic senators, stung to the quick by
his incisive denuncations, attempted
to protest and otherwise gave evil
dence of the fact that his clear cut
charges were striking home. The key
note of the senator's pitiless analysis
of democratic contentious of cruelty
and oppression is found in his state
ment that the partisan reviling of the
army had not been instigated by cruel
ty or torture, but lit has been guilty
of the crime of success. 1t has been Il
victoriouf army. 1t has put down the
insurrection. And that is the crime
for which, in some quarters, there is
no forgiveness In word, the
American army under Generals Mac
Arthur, Otis and Chatfee has practi-
cally accomplished what democratic
prophecy proclaimed they could not
do. They have put down the insurrec-
tion and now they are to be made the
target for democratic denunciation
and invective. In the course of his
remarks Senator Lodge admitted,
openly and frankly, That cruelty and
torture had been practiced and that
he deplored the fact. none more deep
ly, but he presented as eXtenuating
circumstances, a series of the most
horrible abuses of American soldiers
by the natives, which made the few
warfare committed by the Americans
pale into insigniticance. Senator
Lodge was followed by Senator Bever-
idge on Tuesday and by Senator Nc
Comas on Wednesday.
Whatever hopes certain democratic
senators may have had that, with the
assistance of a few ardent beet sugar
republicans. they might defeat action
on the Philippines bill, Cuban rccip-
rocity. and the isthmian canal bill, are
being rapidly blasted. Senator Lodge
told me yesterday that he might ask
that the day for vote on the Philip
pines bill be set at any time now and it
is probable that he will make such a
request early next week. The senate
will promptly accede and the senator
hopes to see the bill disposed of this
month. 1t will according to the pres
ent program be followed by the Cuban
reciprocity bill and that by the Near
aguan canal bill. Strange as it may

Dear Sir: Your business is, when a

some money to build a new one. 1t is
a good business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down n
the new one too. What Is better. we
paint the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn: w
insure the houses that don't. You rave
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are
ours.

sell the paint to painters; we don't

Lead and oil Is the old-fashion paint.
Devoe Is zinc ground in with the leo
and linseed oil: the best paint in the
world: and the cheapest, because 1t
takes fewer gallons than mixed paints
and it wears twice as Ions as lead and
