INDEPENDENT AND NEUTRAL.
Mr.. McCall's Plan to Provide for the
Philippines.

Representative Mccall of Massachusetts,
believes that the Philippine Islands should
have their Independence, and that if they
were independent they should be neutral
territory. as not to become the the
alter of wars between foreign powers.
Accordingly. he has introduced a reso-
luton requesting the President to open
negotiations with the various nations of
the globe looking to an agreement for the
naturalization of these islands, and for
the recognition of their independence
whenever it is granted by the United
States.
The preamble to the resolution sets
forth that the argument for not giving
the islands their independence has been
that if the United States abandoned them
some other nation would take them. This
danger. 1t is set forth, can be removed by
an agreement between the nations of
Europe and Asia whereby the independ-
ence OF the Philippines would be declared
and they would become neutral territory.

dered to report to the superintendent of

I'm the care and preservation of public
buildings and grounds. The only new
work of construction of any Importance
In prospect by that office is the proposed
addition to the office of the White House.
Although not settled. it is probable that

architect. as was the case with the con-
struction of the main office building now
occupied by the President. There is an
appropriation of $4,000 available for the
new addition. and 1t is said 1t is to be

lieves that the federal government should

practicable moment on the method of

On the recommendation of President
Reyes. the Colombian assembly has de-
cided to refer the question of the ratifica-
ton Of the Colombian American treaty to

the Wildwood Extension tract on the
meadows, gave his third annual wild
goose supper on Tuesday evening at
tkeAAuh house of the Wildwood Rod
and Gun Club on West Tw~enty-sixth
street. 1t vas attended by about seven
teen men Notwithstanding the storm.
The invited guests were greeted with a
cheerful fire in the huge old fashioned
fire place and there were easy rocking
chairs a plenty. The club has very
cosy quarters on the shores of Hams
Canal. The goose was cooked ex-
celleDtly and the supper was a fine
one, in fact one of the best ever given
on the island. Victor G. Reynolds, the
newspaper man, acted Is POSTMASTER,
and addresses were made by Evans G.
Slaughter, Curtis Il. Baker and others.
The host gave an interesting %account
of how the two geese were killed. Mr..
Ham was voted a royal entertainer
and a toast drunk to that effect. The
guests left shortly before eleven o'clock,
all having spent a most pleasant eve
ming. The printed menu vas neatly
gotten up and was as follows:

PIE MURDER IN SUGAR VALLEY

iHE MURDER IN SUGAR VALLEY.
Karl Keichline was dead; the news
dew over the valleys like wild fire. He
Ras found on the morning of June
hrst lying in a huddle in his blackstone
kmind a tumble of scattered goods and
packing cases. The front door was
wide open, and there was a window up
IN the rear OF the p~ostcffice room.
Marks of a fierce struggle were every
where: the safe was on it's back, a
great heap OF horse blankets over 1t,
and everything was in confusion. The
tin clock, which had been knocked to
the floor, had stopped at the hour of
sne
The p~ostoffice inspector and the cor
bnef had arrived at noon, and had TAX
On UP the matter with vigorous hand.
Nothing a been touched. The
burgess, who was on the spot a few
moments after the first discovery, had
stretched a rope around the entire
premises n had forbid any one pass
Ing 1t. In an our the entire circuit
Df the barrier had been crowded with
excited men n women, as If the place
were O prize-ring. But a strange hush
had been rel them. One could almost
hear his neighbours heart beat.
The first step Of the officials was to
make a photograph of the body as it
bay amid the boxes, after which they
made a minute examination. There
was hut n mark of violence:
About the neck, reaching from ear
to ear on the back, was a livid black
ring. #....
The next sensation was the discov-
cry near the overturned safe of a
brace and steel bits, a cold chisel, a
cake Of putty-like soap, and black
smiths hammer.
Branded in the hammer handle were
The initials "a. F."
Their was little additional evidence.
An old Agricultural Report of PENN
Bylvania, In which 1t was known that
Keichline kept postage stamps, was
missing. and, according to the inspec-
Tor, 1t should have contained some SIT
n ones and twos. The money drawer
also had been rified. Nothing else
seemed to have been disturbed.
The coroner's inquest was held i'm
mediately. In scarce an hour the jury
brought the report that Kiechline had
come to his death from a blow deliv-
Ired across the base of the brain by
unknown parties who had entered the

SLEEPING in Face of the Enemy.

1t is not an unknown thing for a
soldier to fall asleep even when osten-
sibly taking an active part IN any ac-
ton. A case in point is supplied by
an interesting communication from a
London who served in South
Africa. He writes:
Any one who has seen men in situa-
tons of great tension knows that some
of them-in fact a small minority Of
them--may be overcome by an uncon-
trollable desire to sleep. II affects some
mon more than others. At Honning
Spruit, June, 1900, the writer happened
to be the only surgeon on the spot when
Colonel Bullock (now General Bullock)
was attacked for about nine hou by
a Boer force double his own in num-
bers, better armed and assisted by ar
tillery. We were without this invalu-
able assistance. The Beers failed to
take the post.
During the attack the writer visited
a trench in which n man was badly
hit and another was lying apparently
dead, except that he had not the color
of a man killed In action. The writer
turned him over to get a better look
at him and found the man had been
sound asleep; and his was no h only
case of sleeping that day.
Colonel Bullock's force were called
upon to repel an attack at about 7 a.
m. on empty stomachs, were obliged to
lie face downward in shallow trenches
and endure the shell and rifle fire from
all bit invisible foes; and in the sun,
after a ~sleeplecs night of travel in rail-
way trucks, a few of them went to
sleep. The main cause, the writer be-
lieyes, was the tension of the situation
in the absence of active physical exer-
ton.
The writer felt the same desire for
sleep, but active employment kept him
awake. The wounded, except the most
severely wounded, soon succumbed to
the beautiful action of this natural
anaesthetic.
