1t is Proposed to Treat Philippines the
Same as Cnhn.

Washington, March 29-The Demo-
cratic members of the Senate commit
tee on the Philippines today agreed
upon substitute for the Philippine
government bill to be offered by them.
1t provides, subject to provisions
which are set forth, that the United
States shall relinquish all claim of
sovereignty over the Philippine archi-
pelago, but that the United States
shall continue to occupy and govern
the archipelago until the people there
Of shall have established O govern
ment, and until sufficient guarantees
have been obtained for the perform

LIQUOR MEN MEET
National Protective Association to bC
Revived

| htNlNtu
Louisville, KY, March 27 A secret
meeting of representatives of Louis
ville's whisky nterests-manufactu
ing and jobbing-was held at the Gait
house this afternoon to revive the
National Protective Association, or
ganized in Chicago in 1886, to wage
war against the prohibition move
ment and to endeavor to show that
prohibition laws are Intellectual"
The association will be national
organization. 1t will have its head
quarters in Louisville, and will be
supportedby a fund to which the dis
tilling and jobbing interests of the
entire country are expected to con-
tribute. 1t is understood that the
organization will have unlimited
financial backing, for representatives
of the trade everywhere are taking a
deep interest in the movement, and
havealready authorized the promoters
of the organization TO call on them
for funds.
The money will be used in employ
ing speakers to conduct campaigns in
states where the Prohibitionists are
strong; in distributing printed matter,
in employing statisticians and writer's
on economic subjects and anti-prohi-
bition arguments particularly.
Steps will now be taken to hold
national convention of liquor men, at
which apermanent organization will
be made.
A prominent distiller, di scussing the
meeting said:
THE special ain Of the organiza-
tion will be to show the people in some
states where theprohibition movement
is especially strong the fallacy Of their
position.
AT present a prohibition movement
is sweeping lover the southwest and
liquor interests are being hurt. In
Michigan, Maine and Kansas, prohi-
bition is also strong. We want to
show these people with speakers and
literature that in passing prohibition
measures they only reduce their reve-
nue. and do not benefit their states. In
order to convince them that this is
fact we will employ statisticaus to
complete figures in support of our
statements, The work will require
much money and persistent efforts but
the liquor men are united in the move
ment and will accomplish our objects,
just as the old association did"

INCH OF SNOW IN KANSAS
But 1t Melted as Soon as IL Struck the
Ground.

Topeka, March 29.-Nearly an inch
OF snow fell here today, although it
melted as soon as it struck the ground.
Advices received by the Santa Fe from
as far west as LaJunta indicate that
the snow storm is general all over
Kansas. Apparently the storm struck
Kansas from the west and is moving
eastward. Four inches of snow has
fallen at Newton and Dodge City. The
Rock Island has reports of six inches
of snow in Colorado, and the entire
western division Of the road is we'll
covered by the white blanket. Between
Mcfarland and Herington there is
about two inches of snow. The snow
extends eastward to Horton and st.
Joseph. The snow does not interfere
with traffic and has not caused any
trouble with telegraph wires. Tele-
graph officials state that unless the
wind begins to blow no difficulty is
anticipated.

KANSAS OUT OF 1T.
State Willnot Get the Pension Com
missionership.


missi0nership.
Washington, March 27--Thel presi-
oent VIII not appoint n Kansas man
20 succeed HI, Clay Evans as commits
sloner of pensions. For upwards of
two years it has been the ardent hope
OF the Kansas delegation that the place
would go to their state, and shortly be-
fore President Mckinley death it was
the general expectation that Colonel
Richard Blue, or ex-Representative We
Peters would be named. President
Mckinley told the Kansas delegation
that he would name one or the other
of those two Kansans as soon as he
found place that would be accepta BILE
to Commissioner Evans. When Pres
ident Roosevelt came into the White
House, the Kansas delegation was all
at sea. Several attempts were made
to sound him on the subject, but he
was generally non-committal. For
some time past the COMPRESSION al dele
CATION from Kansas has been prepar-
ing to go to the White House for a
conference on the missionership,
but up to the present no interview has
been arranged.
Kansas contains more old soldiers
than any other state in the Union and
the pension agency atTopeka disburses
more money every month in the way
OF pensions than any other agency in
the country. Most of the pressure for
the removal of Commissioner Evans
has come from Kansas, and the Sun
flower state has always regarded it.
self entitled to first consideration in
matters relating to the affairs of the
pensioners. 1t will, therefore, be dis
appointment to Kansas to be told that
the president will disregard its ella inns
to the commissionership.
The presidents decision to the con
trary is explained on the ground that
whoever might be appointed from
Kansas would assume the Office SEEM
ingly under pressure from those who |
are discontented and he would find his |
position intolerable if he honestly ad- |
ministered the laws. 1t would simply |
be reversal of the present pension |
policy and appear as If the charges |
against the commissioner of pensions |
had been sustained. At all events, |
Kansas man, standing for the opposi-
tion to the present pension policy,
would be unable to maintain himself |
under the pressure that would be |
brought to bear upon him. 1t would |
result in an indefinite enlargement of |
the pension list, and the opening up of |
the treasury beyond anything known
before. This at least is the sentiment |
which is said to prevail in and about
administration headquarters on the
matter. Kansas being out of it, the
president is said furthermore to have
determined to have no western man
for pension commissioner, but to wait
until he can find something which
Commissioner Evans will accept in
lieu of his office perhaps the Office of
minister to Cuba-and then fill the va
cancy by the appointment of good
business man from the east, who will |
enforce the pension laws with rigid
impartiality.

Il you have a grief you would forget,
You must work, and work, and work
And If you are prey to keen regret,
And the stars of your hope are set, are
set,
And the darkness covers you like pail,
If you'd learn to live in this world at all,
You must work, and work, and work.
If you have some tears that you fain
would hide,
You must work, and work, and work
If the one that you loved the dearest
died,
And the dreams that you dreamed are
all denied,
And your footsteps falter and feel UNI
sure,
If you'd teach your heart to endure, en-
dure,
You must work, and work, and work
It will never do to sit and think,
You must work, and work, and work

link,
And the soul that surrenders to them
will sink:

have knoWn)
There is one salvation, and one alone

HANNA ON THE lsTHMlAN CANAL.

Senator Hanna in his argument on
I the Spooner amendment which gives
| The president power Of selection pc
tween the Panama or the Nicaragua
route for the isthmian canal as may
BEEN most advisable to him, provided
that the Panama line can be brought
within a certain limit Of expense mace
rlear his opposition to the Nicaragua
route. The senator is opposed to the lat
ter route because 1t will be more costly
In building and maintenance. 1t Will be
iS3 miles long and consequently can
never be passed thru in single day,
and as navigation by night is impossl-
bic. much time would be lost by anchor
ages at night.
The Panama route is but forty-nine
miles long and instead of a matter OF
DAVIS in which vessls can be transferred
from one ocean to the other their pas
sage becomes a question of hours.
Danger from volcanic disturbances Is
less likely on the / AoaeS
along the Nicaraguan. Another thing, In
the opinion of Senator Hanna, 10 De
considered is that the canal is to be
built for the worlds commerce, not that
of the United States alone, and there
fore. the convenience of the world must
be taken into account. Panama from
this point of view, presents the most
accessible and shortest course, and con-
sequently the most desirable.
These are some of the arguments adj
yanced by Senator Hanna in favor of
the Panama route. They seem well
founded. The question of the expense
of maintaining the canal is particularly
worthy of careful consideration and the
difference in length between the two
routes is extremely favorable in this re-
gard to the Panama survey.
