held Tuesday evening it was decided
to have the mems annual supper
Feb. goth. For the past two years
the weather has done its worst to
curtail the attendance and it is
thought this year the season may be
more propitious. At all events
preparations will be made for a
crowd and it is hoped it will come.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

~ shall never yield on the state
hood bill until it has been voted on
by the senate, said Senator Quay
in answer to an inquiry made by
our correspondent. "The statehood
bill shall not pass even though a
special session Of congress is neces-
STATED by the methods we are COM
pelled TO adopt to defeat it," said
Senator Hanna, when an inquiry
was put to him and the remarks Of
the two men illustrate the present
situation in the senate. Under the
rules of the senate it is impossible
TO secure a vote on any measure as
long as anyone desires to debate the
question. Senator Quay has, by a
test vote, demonstrated that seven
teen republicans and practically all
the democrats will vote for state
hood. This has placed the opposi-
ton, which includes the men recog-
nized as leaders of the republican
party, in the position of the fih-
busterers attempting to talk to death
a measure favored by the majority
of the senate and they accept the
charge and assert their intention Of
continuing to filibuster and their
belief that they are warranted in so
doing

Statehood Fight

Senator Quay is making a hard
fight to secure a vote on the state
hood bill. He has announced his
intention Of objecting to the consider
alton OF all other measures by the
senate until a date Is set for a vote.
However it is understood that he
will not prevent consideration of APP
preparation bills. The opponents to
the admission Of Arizona and New
Mexico are equally determined that
the Omnibus bill shall not pass.
Senator Beveridge leads the opposi-
tion and from time to time engages
with Senator Quay in some very
brisk and pretty parliamentary fenc-
ing.

Aeuinaldo a. q Financier

Secretary Root has transmitted to
the senate and house copies of the
petition received by him through
Gov. Taft from Aguinaldo. He pro-
poses to the civil commissioner to
obtain United States treasury loan
of 100000 gold, and a credit of
S80,O00,O0O, which will guarantee the
issue of paper in the island; said loan
and credit to be retired in three in
stallments at the end of ten, fifteen,
and twenty years, respectively, This
to be for the development and inn
provement Of Philippine agriculture.
Aguinaldo says that he is impelled
to this by the contemplation of the
bitter misfortunes which oppress this
suffering people, caused by evil and
calamities without number"

Administration Trust Measure

The Littlefeld trust bill, which has
the quasi endorsement Of Attorney
General Knox, supposed to be satis-
factory to the administration, has
been reported from the judiciary
committee of the house.
Publicity is the keynote. Provis-
ion is also made for making the taxi
ing and giving Of rebates for trans
portation charges a penal offence
Another feature is the fixing of
penalties for the creation Of monop-
olies in the manufacture Of commodi-
ties.

The Park Case

The Hazen case which involves
the constitutionality of the charter
of the Blooming Grove Park assooi-
alton will come before the supreme
court for argument next month, an
appeal having been taken by defend
ant. It will be recalled that our
court, Hon. G. S. Purdy presiding,
held the sections in controversy un-
constitutional which decision was
reversed by the superior court. J..
G. johnson, Esq. is with others of
counsel for Hazen in the appeal and
Richard G. Dale, Esq. for the park
Both are eminent Philadelphia law
yers and no doubt the arguments
will as cogent as such great legal
ability can make them.

Attack on Monroe poetrine

Germany's bombardment of San
Carlos, the fort at the entrance of
Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, has
brought about more acute sense of
uneasiness than has heretofore exist
ed since the beginning Of the trouble.
Public officials, heretofore so reticent,
no longer conceal the fact that the
government is suspicious Of Ger
many's position. This is believed to
be a direct attack on the Monroe
doctrine.
1t is significant that only German
vessels participated in this latest and
most high-handed act. English Of
ficials are said to be apprehensive
over the result. Italy's foreign office
has hastened to explain that she has
no feeling Of resentment towards
Venezuela, and win continue her eff
forts looking to conciliation.
The patriotic attitude of congress,
without distinction Of party, in wait
ing quietly for the state department
to untangle the affair, has been re-
markable. This attitude demon
strates that seriousness with which
all have regarded the situation. An
outbreak at almost any moment is
imminent. 1t is fast becoming a
question "Have we the power to back
up our contention2"

THE RAMBlER's pIcKNes

Last Friday evening, Sunny
Dewitt like a good boy went to
church and when about entering
the house on his return he slipped
on the ice and came within a quarter
of an inch of breaking his nose.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Bauer
was spilled out Of her sleigh on the
corner Of Mott and Hartford streets .
Isl" Terwilliger and Ernest Wood
had a runaway on the river road on
Saturday afternoon. The only thing
hurt was the sleigh, which is
wreck.
John Radcliffe came up from New
York Saturday afternoon. The same
evening he slipped and fell, receiving
a pretty hard shaking up, delaying
his return to the city for several
days.
No one can complain about deep
SHOWS and snow banks so far this
winter Never has sleighing been
better than for the past six weeks.
There has been almost an egg
famine, will there be a potato short

Cambridge Springs Winter Resort
AND WHY

Cambridge Springs a Winter Resort
AND WHY
The idea that because "a change"
is needed it is necessary at this
season to go to some much warmer
climate, is not always correct. Such
a course may sometimes be neces-
sary, but in nervous troubles, dis
order of the digestive functions,
kidney complaints and many others,
nothing is gained, and much is often
lost by breathing an enervating
atmosphere when vitality and vigor
most are needed. Besides, one is
seldom comfortable in such places
because there are cold days there,
with no facilities to meet them.
The best place to thoroughly en-
joy and benefit by cold weather is in
Ia dry, ozonic atmosphere, with
ample preparations for keeping
warm, generous table, good society,
opportunity for exercise indoors,
such as enclosed balconies. sun
parlors, etc. Add to these the
health-giving waters of Cambridge
Springs, Pa, and you have an ideal
place to spend the winter, or any
part of it. If not informed as to
cambridge Springs ask any Erie
Ticket Agent for illustrated book.

According to present intentions
the Elkins anti-trust bill which en-

recommendations, that rebates and
concessions of all kinds on trans

be reported to the senate Monday.

Senator Hansbrough, who is an
ardent advocate of statehood, said
today, "The republicans who sup
port the statehood bill are acting in
accordance with their belief. They
feel bound by the pledge of the
party platform and reasons, which
are convincing to everyone WHO
will take the trouble to investigate
them that statehood should be
granted to the territories. 1t is. the
opposition that is filibustering and
preventing other legislation. We
are ready for vote at any moment
and a vote would dispose of the
measure in accordance with the will
of the majority. The attempt of
the leaders is contrary to the princi-
pies of government. They are en-
endeavoring to make the minority
rule. Every republican who favors
statehood feels that he has good
company. Sixteen other republicans
think and feel as he does. There is
no antitrust bill before the senate
now. When there is it will become
the certain duty of the leaders to
permit vote on the statehood bill. !"
The administration anti trust bill
is now before the house. 1t has
been carefully framed by the mem
bers of subcommittee and the
attorney general and is drawn upon
lines dictated by the experience of
the latter who has found the Sher-
man law deficient and has framed
the present measure to supply its
deficiencies. The proposed law is
not drastic and contains no provis-
ion capable of INJECTING the slightest
injury on any corporation doing
legitimate business. 1t merely pro-
bibits those determinations which
have, in the past. served to build up
huge monopolies and provides the
government with the means for
enforcing the law. 1t is the ardent
hope of the president that the bill
may become a law, wish which is
evidently seconded by the large
majority of the people judging by
the correspondence of numerous
members of congress which your
correspondent has been permitted to
see. The bill will pass the house at
an early date and, it is believed
without opposition from the demo-
crats.
