SITUATION IMPROVES
In the Jolo Region and Hopes Are En-
tertained of the Moros.

Manila, April 1.-THE situation in
Jolo is more promising. Datto Paglia-
man Passan, the most powerful native
leader, visited Col. Wallace recently
and disclaimed any desire to fight. He
accepted the coloneFs explanation OF
American policy and promised to be
peaceful. No demonstrations have &C.
Cured recently in Jolo against Ameri-
cans.
Gen. Davis has planned to locate a
strong military post in the center <of
Jolo island. 1t is believed this will An
sure peace. The general will go to Jolo
soon for a conference with the Sultan.
The government is DESTROYS of abrogat-
ing the rates treaty with the Sultan
which has prove unavoidable and which
conflicts with the American laws. The
government also wishes to establish
government for the Moros and formu-
late a definite Moros policy.
At present the military authorities
exercise general control over the Dattos
who rule the people. The military
prevent the recapture of fugitive slaves
and punish fragrant crimes. But they
do not interfere with slavery, polyg-
amy or tribal customs. The general
conditions are unsatisfactory and re-
form is imperative. The government
has heretofore refrained from taking
action as it did not desire to cause
trouble.

OH, DON'T WORRY.
What Will the Massachusetts Reform
(?) Club Accomplish?

Boston. April 2.-The Massachusetts
Reform Club held a well attended
meeting at Young's Hotel, tonight, and
listened to discussion of the general
topic: Corruption of the Suffrage"
by a number of well-known gentlemen
who were guests of the club, the
speakers including George KEENAN,, the
writer and traveller; Gov. Lucius F. c.

During the evening a motion by Da-
vid G. Haskins was unanimously
adopted that a committee of three be
appointed to ascertain whether the re-
port of Gen. Miles upon his recent trip
to the Philippines had been received by
the war department and whether it is
to be given to the public, it having
been reported that report had been re-
ceived and was not to be made public
The object of the inquiry is to start
a general movement to secure the pub

RUSSIA AND UNITED STATES
May Eventually Rule the World, Thinks
This Italian Senator.

Rome, April 2.-Senator Villari, in an
address delivered, today, before King
Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena
at the opening of the international his
torical congress, made several illusions
to the United States. He said Europe
was shut in between two great, power
full countries, Russia on the east and
the United States on the west The
latter, from a population of 30,000,00o
had risen to S0,000,000 and no one knew
what number its population would
eventually reach. The United States
had also taken the lead in all the works
of progress and civilization.
These two forces acting on Europe
were likely to render necessary a union
of the different European countries
which may completely change the geo.
graphical situation to the universal ad-
vantage of Europe.
The senator added that he foresaw
and predicted that the Goth century will
perhaps see the solution of many prob
lens.
THE mixing Of the white and black
races" Senator Villari continued,
brought about the war of secession in
the United States and the liberation OF
the negroes from slavery, but this has
not harmonized or amalgamated the
two races, which hate each other now
perhaps mora than ever before.
1.-THE United States will probably be
the first to give us an intimation how
to deal with such grave and important
questions which Europe must meet
throughout the two immense continents
of Africa and Asia

shipped nearly all their output to Eu-
rope, but now they find a good mar
ket for it in this country, and at almost
fabulous prices. OF course, the drug
houses of America find a ready home
market. The oil is employed in many
ways but it's chief uses are in the
making of absinthe and liniments. The
penetrating powers of the oil are
something wonderful. When applied
to the surface it works it's way right

drug experiences the most pleasant
dreams and imaginings; but, like all
excuses, 1t kills the gentle emotions,
freezes Kindness, rouses in man the
spirit of the beast, and accomplishes
more vile deeds than are dreamed OF.
A large drink of absinthe will produce
insensibility, commissions, dilated pu-
pills, sluggish pulse and other serious
effects, the after effect often 1nclud-
ing trembling hands, arms and legs,
intense thirst, tingling in the ears, IL
lusions of sight and hearing and other
horrifying results. So strong hold
has the use of absinthe gained in
France that the government has made
repeated efforts to suppress it's sale,
an undertaking which fear will never
be accomplished.
Its use in America is increasing ev-
cry day. The rank poison is kept IN
nearly every saloon in every city ana
town. A few drops in a glass OF
whisky will make the average drinker
think and feel that he owns hall the
earth, and that another drink of the
same kind will give him the remain

fully one-half of the present day drink
ers, and especially among the upper
classes, will say to the bartender whe/l
he orders drink. Two three drinks
with just a dash of absinthe' will
cause the drinker to get in that condi-
ton where he owns it all, knows every
thing, wants to hug everybody, and is
the very biggest fool in seventeen

cret has never found it's way into the
laboratories this side of the Atlantic,
and l don't think it ever will. Absinthe
is dangerous green eyed fairy, and it
is to be regretted that Americans are
