Letter to Congress.
Washington, June 20.-Postmaster
General Payne takes strong position
in favor of the establishment of a
postal currency in letter he sent to
congress transmitting the reports of
the committee appointed to consider
pending bills providing for a post
check system. He enclosed with his
letter measure drawn by the major
ity of the committee for enactment by
congress, which he believes will meet
the end in view. In his letter the post
master general says: There is great
need of some form of postal currency
and that the one proposed is very SIM
pie and would prove of incalculable
convenience to the public"
The postmaster general adds:
Hundreds of thousands of letters
carrying small amounts in the form OF
ordinary currency or silver or postage
stamps are transmitted every year
through the mails. These letters are
a constant temptation to those han
ding them, as it is easy to identify
letters enclosing currency. The postal
checks provided for in the proposed
bill would be much more easily OBJ
tanned and cheaper than the present
money order, and with the extension
of the rural free delivery service to
the remote parts of the country would
go far to provide cheap, convenient
and safe method to transmit small
amounts through the mails, and would
be available in those sections not
heretofore covered by or adjacent to
the money order Offices or banks of the
country"

WHEAToN's LAST REPORT.
A Strong Endorsement of the Recon.
centration POLICY,


Washington, June 20.-Adjutant
Ganeral Corbin has made public the
last report of Major General Wheaton
commanding the department Of North
Philippines, prior to that officers re-
turn to the United States for retire
ment. It is long and elaborate ex.
planation of military operations in
pacifying the disaffected element In
Northern LuZon, including Batangas,
Laguna and Tabayas. General Whea.
ton gives a strong endorsement of the
policy of recommendation adopted by
General Bell.
II authorized" says General Whea-
ton, "the policy and fully approved of
the methods by which the insurrec-
tion in the provinces of Batangas,
Laguna and Tabayas was ended. The
humane code Of the laws of war, as
published during the administration
of President Lincoln, was followed in
all operations against semi-civilized
insurgents, who habitually violated
every law of war known to civilization,
and who treated their own people with
every barbarity that can be inflicted
upon the helpless. At this time in
surrection has ceased in Luzon and
adjacent islands. There is no brig
andage or disorder reported In all the
islands north of Manila. A few small
bands of ladrones are in the noun
tains of Southern Tabayas and there
is brigandage in Cavite province,
which, the civil authorities state, can
be coped with by the constabulary.
There is now little to prevent contin-
ued peaceful conditions throughout
the territorial limits Of the depart
ment, provided firm and thorough
policy of bringing assassins and dis
turbers Of order to justice is followed.
My service in these islands soon ter
minating, I wish now to express my
highest appreciation of the gallant
conduct, the courage and humanity of
the troops it has been my honor and
good fortune to command. The Off
GERS deserve gratitude of their coun-
trymen and the men the gratitude and
love of every patriotic American"

TROOPS ORDERED OUT
PATERSON, N. j., SENDS AN AP-
PEAL TO GOVERNOR
MURPHY.
MAYOR Is FORCED TO ACT

Mill Owners Demand Protection,
Claiming That the Police Force Is
Inadequate to Cope With the Mob.
Employees Working in Momentary
Fear of Attack-Both Infantry and
Cavalry Will Be Sent to Preserve
Order.
Newark, n. J., June 20.-Governor
Murphy has ordered part of the First
regiment of infantry and the entire
First troop of cavalry to Paterson to
preserve order. General Campbell,
commanding the First brigade, has
taken command and is assembling the
troops and arranging for transporta-
ton. The Erie railroad has been or
dered to send trains here at once. The
members of both commands are as
sembling.
A delegation representing the mill
owners called on the mayor of Pater-
son and demanded protection. The
mayor replied that he was affording
It. To this it was replied that the
force was too small and would be
overridden by a mob of any size; that
It was impossible to concentrate any
great number of men at any point and
that large portion of the deputy sher-
ifs were green hands and unreliable.
It was pointed out that the mill hands
were afraid to work and that those
who worked were in momentary fear
Of attack. This resulted in an appeal
70 the governor, who was in Newark,
for troops, and the consequent action

ARE NOT UNANIMOUS.
Many Soft Coal Miners In the West
OpposA to a Strike.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 20.-Informa-
tion has reached here through differ
ent sources that the soft coal miners
in the West are not unanimous for a
general strike, and some of them, it
is said, are against partial suspen-
sion. Those men who oppose a strike
are willing to give financial aid to the
anthracite strikers, but some of the
leaders are not ready to accept this
sort Of aid. In the spring Of 1900,
when a strike levy of 25 cents a
month for each member of the United
Mine Workers of America was made,
there were only three state organiza-
tions that responded in full; they
were Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. There
Is now strike tax of 10 cents month
for each member In force, but as far
as can be learned this is not being
paid in full by all the districts in the
country. For this reason the leaders
would rather have the bituminous
miners either strike or partially sus-
pend operations. President Mitchell
has been in close communication with
the leaders of the various districts
and whatever plan they decide upon
will no doubt be adopted by the con-
vention. No radical action, such as
total suspension of work by the entire
membership of the organization, is
looked for.
There were no developments in the
anthracite strike. The canvass to
bring out all the engineers, fremen
and pump runners who have failed to
respond to the strike order goes stead
lily on. Additional men are persuaded
each dov tO niIit h,lt tha coal oom-
panies say they always have men on
hand to fill their places.
President Mitchell received infor-
nation from West Virginia, which, he
says, indicates that the strike there
is progressing most favorably. He
said more men are now out in that
territory than at any time since the
strike in the Virginias began. Large
gains have been made, he said, along
the line of the Norfolk and Western
railroad.

CHIPPEWA LAND BILL.
Congressman Morris Measure
Passed by the House.


Washington, June 20.-Judge Page
Morris carried his Chippewa Indian
reservation bill through the house dur.
ing the afternoon with flying colors.
BY vote of 90 to IL the sealed bid
proposition was retained.
The passage of the bill means big
boom for Northern Minnesota. Under
its provisions millions of feet of pine
are to be sold to the highest bidder,
under rules prescribed by the secre-
tary of the interior.
The pine on 250,000 acres Is to be
sold on bank scale at not less than 81
per thousand for Norway pine and SIS
for white pine.
Five per cent of the pine is to be
left standing, and the department of
agriculture, through the forestry ldivi-
sion, is to reforest these lands. This
will please the Women's federation
and all interested in forestry.
In addition the islands in Cass lake,
also Sugar Loaf island and Pine Point,
are to be set apart as a permanent
forest reserve under the forestry divi-
sion, embodying about 10000 acres.
After the agricultural lands shall
have been classified they are to be
opened to homestead entry under
proclamation and under such rules
and regulations as the department pre-
scribes. It will be next October be-
fore the lands are properly classified
and surveyed.

THE Philippine DEBATE.
Cooper of Wisconsin and Jones of vir

Cooper of Wisconsin and Jones of Vir-
ginia Fire the First Guns.
Washington, June 20.-The opening
Day of the weeks debate on the Phil
ippine government bill in the house
was signalized by remarkably strong
and exhaustive speech by Mr.. Cooper
(Wis.), chairman of the committee on
fhsular affairs. He spoke for almost
three hours and was given close at
tsntion by both sides of the house.
Much of the speech was general de-
tense of the policy pursued by the ad-
ministration and drew repeated ap-
plause from his side of the house. He
contended that the problem of the
Philippines should not be party
question, that both political parties
brought on the war with Spain, and
the votes of members of both parties
ratified the treaty which made the ISL
ands American territory. The most
telling portion of his speech was the
parallel drawn between the present at
titude of the opposition and the atti-
tude of the opposition during and i'm
mediately succeeding the Civil war.
Mr.. Jones (Va.), the ranking mem
Der of the minority of the committee,
made an able presentation of the
Democratic position, but he yielded
the floor after speaking about an hour
and will resume in the morning. Those
were the only speeches made during
the day.

STANDS BY HIS GUNS|
PRESIDENT FIRM IN HIS DETER
MINATIoN TO REDEEM
CUBAN PLEDGES
EITHER BILL OR TREATY

If Congress Cannot Be Prevailed Upon
to Act the Chief Executive May Ex.
ercise His Constitutional Power.
Conference of Senators Favorable to
Reciprocity Is Held at the White
House.
Washington, June 20.-The presi-
dent gave dinner to about a dozen
leading senators favorable to Cuban
reciprocity and discussed with them
the ways and means of securing a re-
duction of the duty on Cuban products
in order that the pledges made to Cuba
may be redeemed. Among those at
the dinner were Senators Allison, AID
rich, Hale, Spooner, Lodge and Platt.
Secretary Root also was one of the
guests.
The president, it can be stated, is
firm and steadfast in his determine
tion that in some form or other and
at the earliest opportunity there shall
be secured to the new republic of Cuba
substantial reduction of the impost
tariff on her exports to the United
States, so that her people may feel
this country has kept every promise
made them and has done all that could
be fairly expected to assure per-
manence and prosperity to their new
ly established government. How or
when the result will be obtained Is a
matter that the president must leave
to future developments, but it can be
stated by authority that the admins
tration will continue unremitting in
its endeavors until 1t accomplishes
Cuban reciprocity in some form. It
has not yet been definitely decided
whether this can be brought about
better and earlier by a bill or by a
treaty, nor whether good judgment
and sound policy require that the mat
ter go over for a time. The methods
and opportunities were canvassed
carefully. The president will not con-
tent himself with shelving the ques-
tion now that he has urged the matter
on congress in special message, but
will take such further steps as may be
calculated to secure the reduction he
has urged, whether there will be an
extra session or not, and, if so, when it
shall be convoked, is altogether prob
lematical. For the present efforts will
be continued to secure cooperation in
legislation at this session on the part
Of the nineteen Republican senators
who oppose reciprocity with Cuba. If
1t appears that a treaty will accom-
plish results one will be negotiated
and submitted to the senate whenever
the occasion seems opportune. The
president will not await authority from
congress to frame such a document.
The treaty making power is vested in
him and decision has been reached
to exercise the power should that ap-
pear the best method of obtaining ia
vored trade relations with Cuba.

Minority Report on Bill to Inquire
Into Status of Negro Race.

Minority Report on Bill to Inquire
Into Status of Negro Race.
Washington, June 20.-The Demo
cratic members of the house commit
tee on labor have filed minority re-
port on the bill creating commission
to inquire into the status of the negro
race. The minority say that there
does not seem to be the slightest ne
cessity for the creation of this COM
mission, nor for considering the status
of the negro race apart from other
races. The negro race can never
reach its full development" says the
report, until it is permitted by the
government to work out its destiny as
do the other races with which 1t comes
In contact"
The report further asserts that the
real object Of the inquiry is covertly
to secure the investigation proposed
by the Crumpacker resolution. Such
Inquiries, it is said, are not Of advan-
tage to the great bulk of the negroes
and benefit only those who make mer-
chandise of their politics. 1t is urged
also that the progress of the mass of
the negroes in the South is dependent
on cooperation and good will of the
whites among whom they live.

Split Occurs in the Vermont Repub.

Montpelier, W, June 20.-Amid
scenes of marked disorder and turbu-

nominated General j. G. Mccullough
of Bennington for governor on the
third ballot, body of delegates sup
porting Percival W. Clement of Rut-
land marching out of the hall as
protest against the action of the ma
jority. The bolting delegates later,
at an impromptu open air demonstra-
tion, nominated Mr.. Clement for gov
ernor on an independent ticket, but
later developments indicated that high
license men would devote some time
to consideration of the political out
look before placing an independent
ticket in the field. Mr.. Clement him.
self advised his followers to go home
and think it over before taking any
hasty action.

QUIET AT PATERSON.
Rioting of Striking Silk Dyers Has
Not Been Resumed.

Paterson, N. j., June 20.-In the
main this was quiet day in this city.
The most important event was the
suspension from duty of Chief of Po-
lice Fred c. Graul by Mayor Hinch-
cliffe and the assumption by the mayor
Of the duties of that position. Will
lam Mcqueen, the Englishman who
was prominent at the meeting before
the rioting began, mas lett the city
and is believed to be in New York.
Galleano, the Italian, and Crossman,
the German, who are said to have been
prominent, have also kept from public
notice. Mayor Hinchcliffe wishes to
interview all these men. Lacking a
leader and keeping out of the heavy
rain of the early day, the rioters did
nothing when a majority of the mills
they had closed by their violence re-
sumed work.
The police are under orders to shoot
straight if they should have another
encounter with the rioters and the
mayor has had copies of the riot act
distributed.

Would Accept Republican Nomination
for Governor of Wisconsin.
Duluth, June 20.-Former Governor
Edward S. Schofeld, who is in Supe-
rior, has authorized the announcement
that he will accept the Republican
nomination for governor at Madison,
July 16, if the party wishes him for
its candidate. He said:
II am a Republican because I be-
heve the party has a great mission to
perform. To assist in maintaining it's
integrity and dominance should be
both duty and pleasure, and no
personal desire should stand in the
way Of the performance of that duty.
In common with many other Republic
ans, believe that the integrity of the
party in Wisconsin is threatened and
that something should be done to pre-
vent it's disruption. If the state con-
vention considers that the best inter
ests of the party would be served and
harmony restored by placing my name
at the head of the ticket I will accept
the nomination. At the same time l
should prefer that some one else be
selected"
