administration, are losing sight Of
the interests of our own people, is
short sighted. He does not grasp
the true Import of the situation"
sand Senator Clay, in reply to a ques-
ton ! put TO him Saturday. SIS an
undertaking which means to the
people Of the United States an an-
nual expenditure of SS0,OOO,0OO.
and which means that expenditure
not for one year but continuously a
question of minor Importance? And
that is not the most serious phase of
the situation. Reflect for a moment
upon our American soldiers, officers
and men. Ii is brutalizing them as
is plainly shown by the evidence
which has been given before the
Philippines Committee. And why
this cruelty: Is it in accordance
with the past histories of our army:
No. And for good reason. In the
Civil War men fought for the priu-
ciples in which they believed, the
rights of the sovereign states on the
one side, the preservation Of the
Union on the other. All were SIN
cere. All were fighting for their
convictions. Ministers, doctors, mer-
chants, farmers, the best men in the
country ON both sides, made up the
rank and file OF the armies. To d
certain extent the same was true in
the Spanish war when the best of our
young men enlisted to uphold the
flag and free Cuba. But what have
We in the Philippines? Men who
have enlisted for Sl3 per month
| Men who enlisted generally only be.
cause other means of gaining live
lihood were barred TO them. Stog
and think of the men you know who
have enlisted not as volunteers IN
the first fever of the war-but "a,
regulars, for the paltry pay of pri
vate. What manner of men ar,
they? Is il any wonder that then
officers cannot restrain them and thai
they practice cruelties and avail
themselves of method of torture.
/ The Filipiuos are human being,
with hope aud aspiration like oui
own. They have seen the light as
the American colonists saw il u
/ 1875 and now is it to be wreste,
from 'hem and are they to yield uI
their hope Of liberty; 'paclied:
Yes. Temporarily, perhaps, at th'
muzzles of American rifles, but le
those rifles be turned away and thcir
hopes end ambitions will return anc
they viii renew the struggle. We
have killed their men and someumel
their children aud perhaps, though
accidentally, their women. vii

Never. except in the presence o

your Wine Of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when I was fully re-
covered"
T-1T1HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
w has a responsible position in
w the Governm emit service at
Washington, D. c., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. 1t is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements of the menstrual
organs. 1t Strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func-
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science of medicine.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
HAS 100000 FIRE
Depot and Ferry Slips Are
Burned at Frisco.
TEN MEN REPORTED MISSING.
Besides the Slips and Buildings Many
Passenger and Narrow Gauge
Coaches Were Consumed-Loss Is
Estimated at $500,0o0.

u San Francisco. Nov. 20.-The South
ern Pacific depot and ferry slips 4,
the end of the Alameda Mole, which
extends far into the bay from the
eastern shore. were totally destroyed
by fire early today. A large number
of passenger coaches were also burn
ed, and it is said several lives have
been lost.
The fire broke out from some IN
known cause after the ferry boat Oak
land had reached her slip from the
last trip from this city 1t was about
II o'clock and the kitchen crew Of
the steamer had retired to their Iodg-
ing in a small structure near the end
of the pier. Suddenly the flames
burst out, quickly spreading through
the depot, big building of wood and
glass, The upper works of the Oak
land caught fire and she was forced
to cut loose and leave her men be-
hind. They may have escaped,
but have not yet been heard from.
The burning slips were inaccessible
for the fremen, but the fireboats were
dispatched to the scene from the city
and succeeded in combining the flames
to the end of the mole. Nothing else
could be done, however, and every
thing on the broad extension of the
pier was soon totally consumed.
Train Dispatcher Walker estimates
the loss at from $3.50, 900 to $4,000
The sides of the slips and buildings,
eight broad gauge passenger coaches
and rs narrow gauge coaches were
burned. The ferry steamer Encinal
which was moored to the mole, was
towed to place Of safety. The num-
Der of men missing is ten.
The depot was the terminal for the
trains to Santa Cruz and also for
the trains for Oakland and Alameda.
The depot was constructed on filed
in ground, studded by piles. During
the last year the Southern Pacific has
expended many thousands of dollars
in repairing the approaches to the
mole and the wharf proper. The fer
ry building proper covers several acres
and contained the offices of the rail-
road operatives.

Before the flames were placed under

found there was no water in the
mains with which the flames could be
extinguished. Dynamite was secured
and just when it was about to be
placed under the burning buildings
the water was turned on and the work
