proclamation OF amnesty July 4 the
guard Of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where Ag.
uinaldo lived in Manila. and Lieuten'
ant johnson, Aguinaldo's custodian,

airy acted as Interpreter. Aguinaldo
was told that he was free to 90 any.
where he pleased and General Chaffec
asked him IL he had any complaint to
make OF American discourtcsy or
harshness. Aguinaldo replied that he
hnd no such complaint to make. He
told General Chaffce that he was CO.
ing to visit friends Mt his home In Ca
yite, WHO. in CavIte province, and in
quired what protection the American
authorities would AFFORD him. He
seemed to be afraid to venture out.
General ChafYee replied that Aguinaldo
would get the same protection as any
other citizen.
The release OF the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance upon him by friends
OF Luna and his other enemies. Luna
was Filipino leader whom Aguinaldo
caused to be killed IN 1899.

Philippine Bill.

In the House the conference report
on the Philippine civil government bill
was adopted by n strict party vote.
with the single exception OF Mr.. Nc
Call OF Massachusetts, who voted with
the Democrats.
Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin. chairman
of the committee on insular affairs.
presented the conference report on the
bill, as follows:
There were three important points
of difference between the two houses,
namely. the provisions In the House
bill for legislature; another In relation
to lands, and another In relation to
coinage. The Senate recedcs from Its
disagreement to the provision for n
legislature and agrees 10 1t with an
amendment providing that within two
years after the census provided for In
the House Bill has been completed, II,
in the meanwhile, a condition OF gen.
eral peace and good order shall have
prevailed, the President shall order the
Philippine Commission to call n gen
eral election for the choice OF delegates
to n popular assembly of the people OF
that portion of the islands not inhab-
tied by Moros and pagan tribes. which
shall be known as the Philippines As
sembly.
"As to the qualification OF voters, the
powers of the Assembly and of the
Legislature and the qualifications OF
the members of the Assembly, the
Senate has agreed substantially to the
House provision. This also provides
for two commissioners to be elected by
the Legislature.
'"rhe Senate further recedes from its
disagreement to the provisions OF the
House bill relating to public lands, and
agrees to an amendment requiring the
amount of land to be held by corpora
tions from 2.OOO hectares to 1.OA hec-
tares. The Senate has further agreed
to the House provision restricting the
ownership and control by members OF
corpora tons of mining and agricul-
tural lands, with additional stringent
provisions limiting these holdings.
"In the coinage provision reported
the .;enate receties from Its provision
for the coinage of n Philippine silver
dollar, and the House recedes from Its
provision for the establishment Of a
gold standard.
"Ihe report agrees upon the provis-
ion for subsidiary coins and minor
coins, the names being those of the
House bill, md substantially as pro-
vided in the House bill.
1.-THE provisions relating to banks are
eliminated from the bill.
"The bill contains the Legislative lin
itations and bill Of rights complete, as
in the House bill.
"The mining provisions Of the bill
are n combination of the provisions of
the mining features of the two bills.
"OtherwIse. the bill reported does
not substantially differ from the bill
passed by the House."

WITHDRAWAL OF FRiARS.
viii Try to Effect Some Kind
Of Compromise.

Rome, July THE Vatican is striv-
Ing to find n compromise between sat
isfying the desires OF Washington as
set forth by Judge William II. Taft.
governor OF the Philippines, and reliev.
ing the holy see from direct respon-
sibility for the withdrawal OF the friars
from the Philippine archipelago. Sew
cral plans TO this end have been dis
cussed by the Vatican authorities. The
most acceptable OF these is that the
generals OF the four religious orders
concerned, having been Informed OF
Washington's request, shall themselves
order the withdrawal OF their depend
ents, who now number about 500. This
plan would necessitate n letter from
the general OF each order to Governor
Taft pledging the writer to this ac-
ton. or the insertion OF clause In the
contract between Judge Taft and the
Vatican that steps to this end would
be taken Immediately by the generals
when they were aware OF the wishes
Of the United States. The Vatican
would thus be under no odium. the
Pope merely accepting an accom-
plished fact.

ANpREE WAS MAssAcRED.
Aeronaut North Pole Seekers Landed
In British Northwest Territory.

Chicago, July Ca special to the
RecordHerald from Winnipeg says:
Rev. David Ferlies, church Of Eng
land clergyman, arrived from York
factory British Northwest territory,
and brings authentic information of
the fate Of Explorer Andree and his
companions.
Two years ago, 1,SOO miles north Of
York, party of Esquimaux, under
the leadership of "Old Huskie," saw
the Andree balloon alight on a plain
of snow in that vicinity, which Is
about two miles north of Fort Chur-
chill. Three men emerged from the
balloon, and some OF "Old Huskie's'
people approached them out of curios-
ity.
AS they did so one of Andrees com
panions fired off gun. This is Il
signal to uncivilized natives for battle.
1t was regarded as n challenge, and
almost instantly the natives fell upon
the three explorers and massacred
them. Everything pertaining to their
outfit was carried to the homes of the
natives, on the borders OF the Arctic
region.
"Old Huskie" himself gave this in
formation to Ralph Alstine, agent for
story, after being investigated by DIR.
Ferlics, was told by him to-day. He
says that there is little room for doubt,
as frequent reports have since come
of the strange instrument which the
north natives have in their possession,
the telescope being particularly de-
scribed.
The Hudson Bay Company has re
Gently offered a reward for the recov-
cry of any portion OF the outfit belong
ing to Andree, and though natives
have gone on the search for them, they
have never returned, believing, AS Rev.
DIR. Ferlies says. that they will In
some way be punished, for they now
understand that It was not an attack
upon them, but an accident by which
the gun was discharged that prccipi-
tated the massacre.

THE TROJAN HORSE TO DATE.
Classical Method Employed by TIVE
Clever Parisinn Thieves in
Their Business.

Even in these latter days an intel1
gent study of the ancient classics may
prove a valuable asset to the consci
entious student. That, al least. is wha'
one gathers from the exploits of the
pair of Partisan knights of the order
of industry who stole dummy horse
from a saddler's shop. and proceeded
to put it to the same use as the Greeks
did the Wooden Horse of Troy, reports
the London Graphic.
The deceptive quadruped was placed
on a handcart and wheeled to house
where an innocent concierge consented
to take care of it for the night. Before
morning one of the confederates had
emerged from the interior of the
horse. laid hands on such valuables as
he could find. and regained his hiding
place-to be duly carted away by his
friend.
This stratagem was actually success

through the streets. and, having heard
of its exploits. made bold to stop it
and the game was up. Even good Ho-

CHINESE SANDWICHES.
They Arc Not Composed Of What Conn

One to suppose.

Patrons Of a certain restaurant in
this city frequently call for Chinese
sandwich" and the order is not de-
layed.
The prejudiced might suppose that
n Chinese sandwich was made of-well,
never mind, it isn't
1t doesn't seem quite clear why this
particular sandwich should be tagged
with Monaghan label In compo-
sition it is more Teutonic than oriental.
In short, 1t consists of two generous
slices of rye bread spread with finely
chopped raw meat.
That there should be n demand for
such a sandwich is not surprising. Ger
mans have for long time relished raw
meat. even without the bread. Posi-
blv the idea spread from Great Britain
and the continent, where the hospitals
have for years nourished certain pa
tients with raw beef and raw mutton
The raw beef sandwich has also had
a place in the regimen of New York
hospitals for n. long time. The medi-
cal mems theory is that raw meat is
more nourishing and more easily d.
gested, and is especially adapted to
weak stomachs.
II the taste for raw meat becomes

is a great authority on this subject,
and we learned that st. Fris was cap

tyred at the age of 90. This gave us
the period. and the rest was easy.

that she was widow. We had to find

ones to the immense brown-husked
fellows, all in large punches. The
