Coinage Provisions.

Before Mr.. Stewart had taken his seat
| questions were asked about the coinage
provision in the bill. Mr.. Lodge. the
| chairman of the Philippine Committee,
got into the colloquy and made a state
ment to explain and Justify the coinage
provision.
He mentioned the names of several COM
mercial and banking authorities whom the
committee had heard on the subject, and
said that these gentlemen were unani-
mously OF opinion that nothing would be
gained by making a change IN the money
standard in the Philippines. and The COM
mittee was satisfied that it was best to
keep up the existing standard Of money
in the islands, and give them n silver dol
lar which would play the same part which
the English Bombay dollar played in the
Chinese trade.
Mr.. Lodge said that Mr.. Conant, the
financial writer. had advocated the use OF
a gold standard in the islands, but that
the weight of evidence had been strongly
against him.

CUBA WILL Be OURS,
DECLARES MIR. STEWART
Both Parties Responsible for
Philippines, He Says.
Acquisition Not Act of Any Political
Party-Cuba Ought to Be Ours, He
Says, as Result of War.

The Philippine temporary government
bill was taken up as usual in the Senate
yesterday. and Mr.. Stewart OF Nevada
spoke in favor Of 1t.
He expressed his surprise at the ami
mostly displayed in the debate, as the
acquisition Of the islands was the act.
not of any political party, but Of the
Government itself, without regard to
party. Both parties were equally re-
sponsible. and IL seemed to be agreed by
both parties in the debate that the ISL
ands should be retained.
As Result of the War.
AS to Cuba, Mr.. Stewart said: 1T ought
to have been our: as a result of the war:
II will be ours in time without doubt"
He urged that no promises should be
made in the bill until the situation in the
islands were definitely determined.
Mr.. Stewart said he believed in the re-
tention of the Philippines, for he could
not see how the natives would be able to
govern themselves for at least fifty years.
He knew the flag would stay where IL
was. and that the American people would
resist to the uttermost any attempt to
drag II down or besmirch 1t. He depre-
Gated General Smiths massacre order, but
accounted for 1t as one of the not unusual
incidents of war.

CHAPTER Xxx.

There was nothing left for Richmond
but to follow the messenger to Red
Clouds camp, which was now located
close to the boiling springs. He dreaded
to meet Gen. Greyson, though that gem
tleman was now q powerless prisoner,
and though he had not seen Col. Leroy
for twenty years, he feared that he might
know him. He found Red Cloud outside
the camp, walking back and forth, evil
IDENTIFY much perplexed.
THE chief seems to be in trouble" said
Richmond, assuming an airiness he did
not feel.
II am in much trouble" said the chief,
without looking up. For many reasons.
One is that the white soldiers from Mis-
souri, are marching against me in force.
The whites are hemming us in, and the
day will come when they will be the
masters in this land. The Great Spirit
so wills it; but he has placed in the
hearts of the Sioux a love for the hills
where their fathers hunted and for the
valleys where our fathers sleep, and we
will cling to them as a mother clings to
her child when the hand Of death is on
it."
IF the Sioux fight as they can fight I'M
der your lead, l have no fear" said
Richmond, glancing round to ascertain
where the prisoners were.
Red Cloud led the way up the little
stream on whose bank they had been
standing, and after going a hundred
yards he halted and pointed to two men
sitting in the shadow of a rock.
There they are. Do you know them p
Red Cloud looked into Richmond's face,
and he wondered why it should become
suddenly ashy, and why the thick lips
should tremble, as if a great fear had
come upon the man who never wearied in
boasting his own valor.
They are guarded said the chief,
with a ring of contempt in his voice.
They cannot hurt you"
Richmond did not heed, if he heard the
chief He was not thinking of immedi-
ate danger At sight of those men his
own past, like a ghost that would not
be laid, rose up before him. He was not
lacking in what the world wrongly calls
courage" He had the fierce animal inn
pulses that under great excitement might
blind him to danger and make him in
different to death, but, like all bad men,
he was wholly lacking in moral courage.
He had nothing to fear, yet he shrank
from the eyes of those men as he might
not have shrank from drawn swords.

Why, ST. Armand pretended to me that
he was wildly in love with this Jennie
Greyson, and to encourage him, for he
has some good qualities, l agreed to help
him."
You were not so successful in helping
yourself, laughed the chief.
II do not understand"

your power. I do not wonder at your

you did not succeed in holding her."

A GREAT SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
John w. Gates, the Steel MaGnate,
Has a New AuIbi ton.

The latest ambition of John w. Gates,
the steel magnate and capitalist, is to
build for the Southern States a great
railway system, that will equal the i'm
mense traffic lines of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The recent purchase in New
York of Louisville and Nashville stock,
is part of plan of n trunk and branch
system of railway lines that will tap ev-
cry part of the Southern States. To COM
plete this scheme the Gates syndicate
is now endeavoring to get a controlling
interest in the Chicago and Eastern Illi-
nois road, as the Chicago end of the pro-
posed system. The Louisville and Nash
vile will be the connecting link with the
Southern Railway.
I'VE have great faith in the industries
Of the South" says Mr.. Gates The
day is not far distant when Chicago must
be brought in direct communication with
the industrial fields by a system of rail-
roads under one management. The log
ical Chicago connection with the Louis
vile and Nashville is the Eastern Illi-
nois road. These two roads and the
Southern Railway under one control,
would mean an immense amount of new
business for Chicago"

Col. Frank D. Baldwin, with the
Twenty-ifth battery and seven COM
panies of the Twenty-seventh infantry,
attacked and captured the Moro fort at
Bayan, Island of Mindanao, p. l., after
a desperate engagement in which enc
American officer and seven enlisted men
were killed and four officers and thirty
seven men wounded. The Moros lost
more than 200 killed, and at the end Of
the battle the survivors, eightyfonr in
number, surrendered Internationally.
OF the Americans Lieut.. Bovars was
killed and Capt Moore, Lieut.. BOSNIAN
and Surgeon Major Porter were wound
ed. The principal Moro leaders were
killed, including the Sultan of Bayan.
Raja Muda of Bayan, the Sultan OF
Panda Matan, and many of the leading
dattos.
The capture of the fort and the surren-
der of the surviving defenders is Sc
we're blow to the Moro rebellion against
American sovereignty in the most savage
part Of Mindanao, although the military
authorities realize that the cooperation
of the Sultans and chiefs is general when
the flag of the prophet is raised in a
jehad or holy war.
Battle Is Hand to Hand.
The battle was a hand-to-hand one.
The fort was defended by fully 300 men,
and was surrounded by four trenches.
The attack began soon after daybreak.
The American force, consisting of 4IO
men, with four mountain guns, had slept
all night in a pouring rain, without blan-
kets, and were drenched to the skin long
before the fight began. The mountain
guns fired 12O rounds at a range of 400
yards, but the Moro Notifications with
stood the bombardment. and Col Bald
win ordered the infantrymen to take the
fort by storm.
The Americans were compelled to work
their way forward through entanglements
of grasses and took the successive
trenches after hand-tO-hand encounters.
The Moros fought furiously. After cx-
hausting their ammunition they resorted
to krisses, barongs and kampilans. Sew
eral wounded Moros who were hidden in
the high grass attacked the members Of
the hospital corps, who were seeking the
wounded to succOr them.
Brig. Gen. Davis, in his report to Maj.
Gen. Chaffee, characterizes the engage
ment as one of the most gallant per-
formanceS of American arms in the Phil
ippines. He says he has never seen nor
heard of anything exceeding the grit of
the American troops, who fought their
way over one trench after another. When
the engagement was ended the trenches
We're filed with Moro dead.
When the Moros had lost their leaders
the survivors raised the white flag and
eighty-four of them marched out OF the
fort and surrendered.
