A Western representative who is al
legged to stand close to the powers
that be at Washington. is thus quoted
in the New York Times Washington
correspondence: The President is dy-
ing to veto something. 1 can't tell you
how know it, but 1 do know it, He
wants to startle the country with an
nouncement of his disapproval of some
Legislative measure of large impor-
lance. The vetoes he has sent in so
far are Of small importance, and haYe
not attracted much attention; he
wants to kill some big bill" The
congressman proceeds to say that
there is no telling where the lightning
Of presidential disapproval will strike,
but he is keeping his eye on the ON
nibus public building bill and the
river and harbor Bill His guess is
that one Of those bills-possibly both Of
them-will be vetoed.

In my address before the Rhode

! House. Newport, r. l., on July 4. last

but 1 do most decidedly object to any
attempt from any quarter to place

patriotic association without the con-
sent of the society of which l am pres
ident. Nor do l think can be properly
recognized any controlling right in any
of Gen. Greene's descendants to con-
Guide this matter.

indirectly expressed any preference in

believe that if the State should express
a wish upon the the subject it would
receive the cheerful acquiesence of

IF the Legislature of the State of

tillery, but the Governor and Mayor
and the eminent Committee that
had the discovery of the remains in
charge and the descendants of Gen.
Greene be invited to participate at
the expense of the state. The whole

eign state and not of individuals.

this subject as / have not seen the res

THEY WANTED INDEPENDENCE
GEN. HUGHES TELLS OF CONFER
ENCES WITH FILIPINOS.

Leaders Would Not Commit Them
selves to Proposition of PrOtec-
tOrate by the United States-They
Wanted Independence First With
the Privilege of Arranging for n
PrOtectOrate with Any Nation
They Might See Fit.
Washington, March Gen. Hughes
gave further testimony before the
Senate Philippine Committee to-day.
In an endeavor to establish the fact
that the Filipino army had effectively
held the Spanish army within it's lines
in Manila previous to the arrival of
the American forces, Mr.. Patterson
referred to the surrender of 1000 Span
ish troops to the insurrecto forces in
July, 1893. Gen. Hughes said that the
incident would only make him believe
that the Filipinos had cut off the sup
plies from the interior.
Senator Patterson quoted from
magazine article by Gen. Merritt, in
which he spoke of the army under
Aguinaldo, which he said had been an
important factor in the situation and
waged a desultory warfare against
the Spanish resulting in the capture
of 1000 prisoners.
Does that modify your opinion ?"
asked Senator Patterson
Not at all" said Gen. Hughes, who
followed his answer with the question.
Does he state that the prisoners were
solders?"
Il presume he means soldiers" was
Senator Patterson's response.
1t was brought out that most of the
prisoners taken by the Filipinos were
not Spanish troops.
Senator Patterson again inquired as
to the motive of Gen. Otis in recurring
the withdrawal of Aguinaldos troops
from Manila to the line designated by
Gen. Merritt. Senator Beveridge
promptly objected, saying it was not
fair to ask Gen. Hughes what Gen,
Otis meant.
Senator Carmack and Senator Cub
berson claimed the right to ask the
question and Senator Patterson insist
ed that any senator has a right to re-
specially ask a witness any question
pertinent to the subject under discus
sion.
Senator Lodge ruled that personally
he had no objection to the question,
but he did object to one officer criti-
cising a superior.
Senator Culberson said he wanted
to announce his absolute dissent from
the proposition that a committee of
Congress is preoluded from asking
question on this subject, the answer to

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

1t is not because Pyramid Pile Cure
is so expensive that many people de-
cline to give it a trial, but because
thew find it too great a tax on their
credulity to believe that the published
letters bearing testimony to the merit
of this remedy are genuine and bona
fide; especially to those who have re-
allied the suffering incident to piles
is 1t incredible that anyone who has
been afflicted twenty-five and thirty
years with the worst forms of protrud-
ing and bleeding piles should be cured
by the application of a simple rem
edy, when their physician has as
sured them that the only relief is in
a surgical operation. This is rightfully
viewed with dread by all those af-
fiicted, as it means at the least a
great shock to the nervous system,
with more than a possibility of utter
collapse and death; in the majority of
cases, too, there is return of the
complaint, owing to the fact that the
cause is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit one thousand dollars
TO anyone who will show a single pub
lished testimonial to be not genuine
and unsolicited: this latter feature is
most gratifying, inasmuch as these
letters are written solely out of graf
itude. and with the hope that those
who are afflicted as the writer's have
been may learn that relief is at hand

Wanted Straight independence.
In answer to question by Senator
Patterson as to whether the Filipinos
would accept independence unless it
was accompanied by protectorate of
some kind by the United States, Gen.
Hughes said that at a conference held
by him with representatives of the in
surgent army in Manila, they would
not commit themselves to a proposition
of protectorate by the United States.
They first wanted independence,
he said, and after that they would
arrange for the protectorate
America being considered along with
the other Powers.
Gen. Hughes said he was unable to
get AguinaldO's representatives to de-
fine to him what concessions they de-
sired short of absolute independence,
although they insisted that they must
have something definite to take back
to the 10000 men who were virtually
investing the city, because unless they
did they would be unable to hold them
in check.

Senator Patterson, that you could not

commissioners representing the Phil

said that was as definite an answer
