Senior Palma had been in conference
with the members of the Cuban COM

was granted at a luncheon given to him
by the Cuban commission in the Hotel

nearly 26 years, and L know that as
people their sense of honor is as keen as
was that OF their forefathers 100 years
ago.
They have not been corrupted. They

us as a sister republic. The first half of
the promise has been fulfilled, for which

EVEN SOULS DIE.
DR.. Parkhurst Quotes the Bible in
Proof of It.

New York, Feb. 3.-Rev. DR.. Chas. H.
Parkhurst has preached the ehird of a
series of sermons on Immortality" He
complained before the service that he
had received many letters of criticism
on account of his previous sermons. The
majority of the structures had been
upon his contention that, while soul and
body were clearly distinct, it did not
necessarily follow that the soul would
live through all eternity. In the Bible
it is taught, he asserted, that the soul
that "sinneth it shall die
Soul can not stand alone, except it
be Gods soul" he continued. DO not
forget that. So that man, as man con-
sidered in it's separateness is not in
herently eternal is not Inherently i'm
mortal If there is in him at any time
anything that deserves to be called
eternal it is because there is at that

Civil Governor Taft before the senate
committee on the Philippines regarding
future peace in these islands TO be timely,
inasmuch as they will have a tendency to
bring about more rapid legislation on the
subjects most needing attention"
A prominent member of the government
says that the order of General Chaffee
to military commanders to harmonic with
the civil authorities will have some effect.
The member of the government in QueS-
ton thinks whatever friction there has
been in the provinces is probably due to
the continuation in those provinces in a
military capacity of the same officers who
previously welded civil power there

by different means to the same end, the

BARNEY SHERIDAN'S JOKE.
What the Democratic War Horse Said
of Kansas Day Banquet.

Talk about humori Barney Sheridan's
description of the Kansas Day banquet
is about the richest thing that has been
perpetrated for some time. The old
Democratic war horse of Paola is gen
orally fair and impartial, but in this in
stance his report was as far wrong as
though it bore a Wichita date line.
Here is what he says in the Paola
Spirit:
THE truth of the matter is, as detail
ed in Paola yesterday afternoon by an
eye witness, such hilarious mob never
before got possession of Representative
hall Prohibition statesmen drank till
they fell down and slept in the saw
dust under the tables; half filled bottles
of wine were smashed against the ele-
gantly finished walls of the capitol;
rough songs were sung while the
speakers for the old flag and big APP
preparations were amplifying upon the
honesty and sobriety of the Republican
party of Kansas; the theft of the toast
masters gavel made it necessary for
him to use an empty champagne bottle
to rap-and rap in vain-for order; and
all the while from start to finish Baby
lonian fumes and jargon Stifled and
confused the jewelers.

MUST LOOSEN UP.
Manila View of the Governments At
titude Toward the Islands

Manila, Feb. 3.-Manila is intensely
interested as to what action congress
will take concerning the Philippine ISL
ands. Ordinary local politics have been
forgotten and two parties have been
formed, the optimists and the pessim-
lists. Some think that life and prop
erty are unsafe outside of the towns of
the islands, while others ridicule such
ideas and consider life and property to
be assured.
Criticisms of the statement of Civil
Governor Taft that he believed that
$4,000 men would be sufficient to garri-
son the islands in a year are plentiful
Yet the N ajority of the business men
who are financially interested in the
ceptional opportunities for feeling the
pulse of the people, say that Governor
General Taft is right on one condition
only, that being that congress acts for
the benefit of the Philippines.
Capt Frank Green, president of the
American chamber of commerce here,
says he fully believes that Civil Gov
ernor Tafts forecast can be realized If
congress will arrange to open the cOun-
try to mining and homestead laws and
to enlarge the forestry reserves. Should
this legislation be effected. an act by
the Philippine commission granting
franchises would naturally follow and
American capital in large quantities,
as we'll as many American miners and
homestead seekers would come to the
islands.
IF this were accomplished" contin-
ued the president of the chamber of
commerce, we would i'm mediately have
a large body of resourceful and self
reliant men scattered throughout the
archipelago who would become source
of information for the government
concerning the natives surrounding
them and who would constitute a re-
serve force in case of necessity. The
consequent development of the islands
would give employment to an increas-
ing number of Filipinos. who while
busy making money would have less
time to plot. The good wages in sight
would make even those Filipinos in the
field desert the insurrection in order to
enjoy their share of the prosperity.
Everyone admits the excellent work
done by the native constabulary. which
will be increased. Many municipalities
also now possess fairly efficient police
force. The cOncentrat ton of the American
troops into substantial barracks would
reduce the sick rate among them, and
IL, 900 men under such circumstances would
equal 10000 men now Given these condi-
tions it can readily be seen that in case
of a local outbreak with which the police
would be unable to cope. the constabulary
would be handy; should it be necessary,
the military can come in and then, as a
last resort. there would be this ever IN
creasing body of American citizens will
ing to render assistance.

GOT Is VOTES.
Proposition to Increase Salaries
of National Legislators.

Washington. Feb 3.-Soon after the
senate convened today Mr.. Hale (Me)
reported the urgent deficiency bill, and
gave notice that he would call it up
for consideration tomorrow.
At the conclusion of routine business
Mr.. Culberson inquired whether reply
had been received from the secretary of
war to his resolution passed ten days
ago calling for certain correspondence
relating to the Philippine tariff. When
informed no reply had been received, he
declared that in view of the fact the
question was under discussion in the
senate the delay was ''unseemly.'
Consideration of the bill to increase
the salaries of judges of the United
States courts then was resumed The
pending amendment was that offered
by Mr.. Stewart increasing the salaries
of senators and members of the house
of representatives to $500 annually,
beginning on March 4, 1908. After brief
discussion the amendment was reject
ed, Is to A.
An amendment then was offered by
Mr.. Foraker extending the proposed in
crease of the salaries of circuit Judges
to the circuit judge of Porto Rico.
Mr.. Clark CWyo.) moved to amend the
amendment by extending the proposed
increase in salary to the district judge
of Hawaii.
Mr.. TiIlman inquired of Mr. Foraker
States or not.
ct will say to the SENATOR" replied Mr..
Foraker, that Porto Rico belongs to
the United States
1.-THE matter of belonging to- and be-
ing in is entirely different" suggested
Mr.. TiIlman.
Mr.. Foraker thought this was not
proper time to discuss the status of
Porto Rico.
ooh, there is plenty of time" said Mr..
Tillman. We've got the whole session
before US We might as well discuss the
question now as at any other time. Mr..
Foraker said he would content himself
now with saying simply that Porto Rico
belongs to the United States. 1.-THE re
lation of the island to the United
States,'' said he, has been established
by congress and approved by the United
States supreme court"
Mr.. Teller urged that if the salaries
of judges in Porto Rico and Hawaii
were to be increased, those of the judges
in the territories. also should be in
creased.
Considerable opposition was develop
ed to the amendment and Mr.. Foraker
withdraw it rather than jeopardize the
bill
Mr.. Clark, of Wyoming, insisted upon
his amendment and reoffered it at once.
