Serotor Carter Thinks War Will Be
Ended In the Philippines By
January I.
Believes the Next Question
Corrje Up Will Be Future Dis
position of Islands.
to
Washington, S.jpt. 1 Senator
Carter of Montana, in an intorviow
Y'ith ii l'n.-t rotjorl'.-r todav, said that
.i his opinion the war in tho Philip
pine would bu ended by January 1.
Tin n Im miid would como tho quoHtion
of tho future dinpoMition of thuislaudH.
Thii republican party ho belioved
would s.-ttlu this iiustion by Insisting
that tho rctofition of tho Philippines
w.-i.h a mailer of business profit.
"This," luldod tho senator, "is a
prart ical ago. Wo art; going to deal
with this tjuustion on tho basis of dol
lars and cents. If the A morienn peo
ple believe that the I 'hi li pnir.ua are
(.'ii'.nt; to help us they will never lot
1 be islands tro. If, oo tho other hand,
they lind that the Philippines are a
constant drain and a small return you
wiil find the verdict of tho people to
bo against permanent retention.
Neither religion nor sentlinoDt will
have much influence in determining
tho verdict. The great question will
be, wiil it pay? If wo can show tho
country that it will I think tho Amer
ican Hag wiil never come down from
the Philippines.'
"What sort ot government should
bo devised?"
"Three suggestions will undoubt
edly be made. The first will bo to
s:b union tho iilands ontirely to the
natives. I do not bdievo this will
meet tho approva1. of the American
p 'opie.
'" The s eond will be to soizo tho isl
ands in a tirm grasp, assuring the peo
ple that wo mean to give them a bet
ter government than they could enjoy
under any other II ig or oould create
lor themselves, but that wo are the
masters and propose to remain so.
Th n tho third proposition will be
to throw a loose string around the
people, holding their seaports and
custom houses will) our navy, but al
lowing thorn absolute freedom in their
internal alT.iirs. This freedom in my
judgment would soon become anarchy
and wo would have to rulo anyway, so
I should say Ui.U tho second proposi
tion is the. one that ought to be
adopted. The firmer we are in our
e.daiini.-tralion the more respect will
those people have for us.
"A-! to the form of government,"
continued Senator Carter, "T should
say th it a governor ou'ht to be ap
pointed by the i tsident with a coun
cil hUo selected by him. There might
be a TilipMio legislature composed of
prominent men from each of the isl
ands to d .cn-7 questions and advise
tho governor. 1 do not approve of a
commission. I think tho authority
ought to bo vested in a responsible
head, not spread through several com
missioners. Dfwej HenchPH tiibraUar.
Gihkaltai:, S-jpt. 4. The United
States cruiser O.ympia, with Admiral
Dwey on board, which arrived here
at 0:1" o'clock this morning, fired the
usual salute in honor of the g? rison
and the compliment was returned by
the batteries on shorn and the British
battleship Devastation.
Admiral Dewey is slightly indis
posed at present and intends to live
sishoro during his stay here. Horatio
L,. Sprague, United States consul at
Gibraltar, an old friend of Admiral
Dewvy, warmly welcomed him.
At noon the American commander
landed, the batteries again saluting.
With the Second battalion of tho
Grenadier guards in attendance Admi
ral Dewey drove in the carriage of
General Sir Pouert 15 ddulph,the gov
ernor and commander-in-chief, to the
palace, for ttio purpose of paying Gen

l'r-i.rlnK 1'or Trouble.
ItrNNKs, Sept. 4. As the end of the
Dreyfus court martial trial comes
within sight the French government
is beginning to exhibit a fear that'the
verdict may lead to trouble and order.-
have b-cn given that two regi
ments of infantry and one cavalry
regiment already within hail of Hen
ries bold themselves ready to march
on the town on the first sign of dis
order, to occupy all strategical points.
The local anti-Drey fusard organs by
their anti-foreign articles have al
ready singled out foreigners as ene
mies of the country and there is little
doubt that foreign journalists will bo
the first victims of a mob, not so much
Anglo-Saxons as the Austro-German
and Hussian Jews, who form a major
ity of tho pre.-s representation of
their respective countries.
Silver Will Be Relegate!.
Dk Moixks, la., Sept. 4. Chair
man Huffman of the ""democratic state
committee announces that the open
ing of the democratic state campaign
committee will be September 14, with
a big meeting at Davonport, ad
dressed by Fred E. White, nominee
for governor. Mr. White will make
anti-imperialism tho chief issue, and
will relegate silver to the rear.
MEIKLEJOHN WILL COME HOME.
A MUtant Secretary of War Will Attend
Reception to the lint Nebraska .
Washington, Sept. 4. Asalstaut
Secretary Melklejohn , leaves tomor
row for Nebraska, going direct to his
home la Fullerton, where he 1 due to
arrive Thursday to be present at the
reception tendered Company D of the
First Nebraska. He will remain in
Fullerton until September 14, when
ho will go to Lincoln and participate
with the Grand Army of the Republic
and citizens of the state in the recep
tion to be tendered the First Nebraska
and other regiments, on which occa
sion he will deliver an address.
It is stated that President McKin
ley has given up his western trip in
view of tho illness of Mrs. McKlnley.
Should this prcvo true it is thought
that Assistant Secretary Melklejohn
will represent tho president at the
Grand Army of the Republic reunion
at Gincoln next week.
Senator Thurston arrived in tho
city this evening, having been greatly
delayed by special trains carrying
members of the Grand Army of tke
Kopublic to Philadelphia. Tho sena
tor stated that ho has urged the presi
dent to go west, both by letter and
telegram, but had no definite under
standing of his decision. Senator
Thurston is on his way to tho national
encampment of the Sons of Veterans
at Detroit and expect to be in Ne
braska next week.

CHRISTMAS WORK NOW.
Kv.u thf Suggestion of It Slakes Us
Feel Cooler.
It Is during the hot summer days
that time hangs heavily upon the In
dustrious woman's hands, also the in
clination for serious work ia lacking.
Then, if she ia wise, will begin the
Christmas preparation, a Hat of those
she wishes to remember h&yiag been
previously made. By a careful study
of this list scores of pretty things
may suggest themselves, trifles that
may cost but little more than care
and time, but whose value is increased
on that account. The majority of wom
en are like myself 'n preferring a
simple little gift made by the careful
fingers of some friend. The white lin
en work is especially fascinating with
its pretty hemstitching and artistic de
signs. Tray cloths, tea cloths, sachets,
toilet sets, table mats, sofa pillows and
bed sets are but a few of the articles
which may be suggested for summer
work. The woman who loves her home
in the city or country will find end
less ways of beautifying It, and needle
work will be the main feature of It.
The woman whose family cares keep
her in the city home during the sum
mer months cn make herself and fam
ily very comfortable if she so desires.
She can take up the carpets and leave
bare floors, which can be wiped up
almost every day with water nearly
cold In temperature. She can take
down the heavy portieres and replace
them with printed shades. Awnings,
screens, linen-covered cottons or bur
lap In some of the pretty soft couches
and hammocks, if you can possibly
hang them, will add to your comfort
and make you glad that you cm sit
about In cool, loose gowns and avoid
the many inconveniences of summer
hotel life. Right out in Germantown
is a little family which has made the
discovery that home Is the most beau
tiful spot on earth in summer. The
suite has been treated much as I sug
gested, and upon the roof Is the dear
est little corner, with hammock and
lounging chairs. The evenings spent
there are ideal, and the mistress of the
place gives a sigh of satisfaction every
time she thinks of previous summers
6pent at a Bar Harbor hotel.
SPARROW HUNTING.
Men Make It a Business In Kent County.
Michigan.
Sparrow hunting has become so prof
itable in Kent county that men hava
now gone into the business that here
tofore was conducted only by boys,
says the Grand Rapids Democrat. One
of the most persistent hunters is Chas.
H. Sarow, of Walker township, who on
May 13 drew in bounty from the coun
ty $S.50, and on May 15. $1S.50. An
other sparrow exterminator is Fred E.
McBride, who, on May 13. drew $S.30 in
bounties, and more recently $14. But
the gamiest sparrow hunter of all Is
Ernest Cutler of this city, who follows
the trail the year around. Last year
the county paid $275 to Cutler in spar
row bounty. Just so soon as the sun
goes down Cutler appears, just before
5 o'clock at the cashier's window in
the clerk's office with his order from
the county clerk. During the legisla
tive session of 1885 the state authorized
a bounty of 2 cents per head uoti all
"birds known as the common English
sparrow," which are considered a det
riment to the countrj-. A few years
ago several western states placed a
bounty on hawks and wolves. Imme
diately the mountaineers bpgan raising
hawks and wolves. It was a thrifty
business, as the bounty paid was $1
per head for hawks and $8 per head
for wolves. In this state at present
there is a bounty of $3 per head on
wolves, but the woods are so devoid of
the shy animals that no one cares to
hunt for the bounty.

SELDOM MARRY AGAIN.
Widows of Chicago Policemen Remain
Single and Draw Pensions.
Chicago Times-Herald: Only one
per rent of the widows of the Chicago
policemen who are left with a pen
sion ever marry again. Of 200 wom
en who have received pensions
during the past 22 years only two took
a second trip on the matrimonial sea,
and both of them married policemen.
At present there are 150 women on the
pension list whose husbands either
died or were killed In the service. This
list wl soon be Increased on account
of an au passed by the last legislature,
which provides a pension for a police
man's widow, no matter whether he
was In active service or not, so long as
she remains unmarried. Heretofore
tho law has been that If a retired po
liceman, drawing a pension, should
die, his pension died with him. All hi
widow received from the police depart
ment was $2,000 life insurance from
the Benevolent association. But the
pension law recently enacted makes
her eligible for her husband's pension,
the smallest sum being $jO0 a year.
Thcamoi!iit of a widow's pension de
pends upon the rank her husband held
in the department. A patrolman's
widow receives $"..i0 a year, one half
his salary; a sergeant's widow
$000 a year, a lieutenant's widow S750
a year, and so on. Mrs. Welter, widow ,
of Colonel Welter, who a few years
ago was drillmaster of the department, !
with the rank of Inspector, draws the
largest pension of any- woman on the '.
list. She receives fl.oOO a year, lnts
is perhaps the largest pension received
by any woman in Illinois. Next to
Mrs. Welter comes the widow of In
spector Michael J. Schaack, whose an
nual pension is $1,400. The oldest pen
sion3r on the list is Mr3. Nellie T.
Mackey, who has been a widow for
nearly 20 years. Policemen's widows,
it is said, have many opportunities to
marry again, because in most cases
they are left in fairly good circum
stances and are sought by bachelors
or widowers who have an eye to money
matters when casting about for a mate.
But from the examination of the pen
sion records one is forced to believe
that a policeman's widow think $500
a year better than a husband.

NAVAL VESSELS ON LAKE.
Shipbuilders Away f r..m 1 Ule Water

Thera is an elght-y- : : . tivaty be
tween the United Su.:i i.-ud Great
Britain limiting the i.u.a io.ce to be
maintained by those pov,r.s on the
great lakes, and pro wdiiu:; that "no
other vessels of war shall be there built
or armed." When this agieement was
made a naval vessel Luilt en the tipper
lakes could be built c.ily for service
there, for there was no way in which
it could reach the ocean. Therefore
it was Quite proper to renounce the
right to construct stih ve-sfls on the
lakes. Conditions aie changing, how
ever. It will not be long before the
artificial waterways connecting Lakes
Michigan, Erie and Cn ario with the
ocean will be so deepened and widened
that torpedo boats. large-sizd torpedo
boat destroyers, and some other naval
vessels will be able t:i pasj 'hrougn
these canals. Then, h' It v ere not for
the treaty, the shipb-.i biers on the
lakes at Chicago, for i:i.:uice would
be able tocompe'e for , - r.;n?rt con
tracts with er 'ern biiileeis. as steel
and iron ' v- .- is c: i be constructed
more cheaply here V an aiywhere else
in the country. The shipbuilders on
the lakes are desirous of securing a
modification of the treaty so ;hr?t they
may be able to compete. Thy c.o not
wish to have the number of ariae l ves
sels on the lakes increus-.d. Nobody
desires that. All they a:-k is a remov
al of the inhibition on the construction
of naval vessels which are smaU
enough to get through the canals tf
the ocean. Any change hi the treat
must affect both parties to It. H
American shipbuilders the lakes r.re
permitted to build cerrrk? kind.- of war
vessels, tLen the Canad'an shipbuilder:
if there are any, must be permitted tc
build also if they can secure contracts
If the two governments were distrust
ful of each other, each might think the
other was scheming to have a numbei
of naval vessels on the lakes it
for use in an emergency, but the re
lations -between the two govern :2m
are so cordial at present :hat n ; tlie
would suspect the other of bad Lath ;
the mere construction of naval ve-s; 1
oh the lakes were permitted. The pro
visions limiting the naval forre to !
maintained on the lakes should r.c; b
changed under any circmns-anrcs. ro
even to oblige the shipbuilders. Th"
United States government has ta -en no
action in the matter as yet. and it ma
be some time before it does. Thr
are other matters on hand w'in-h are
a more urgent nature, but t!:e 'a'.f
shipbuilders will not abandon il: t
efforts to have the treaty ch.vi -"-.1
They are convinced that t'.e I n c

COUNT MITKIEWICZ
IteHente an Insult ami Leaven
Hotel
Where a ItlU I l'reeiitcl
New York World: For a year
"Count" Eugene Stanislas Kostra de
MItkiewIcz lived at the Brevoort
house. Not only did he eat and lodge
as the guest of Charles Jalnes, the
proprietor, but he Is said to have bor
rowed money where and when xie
could, until the guests warned Mr.
Jaines against him. "You don't know
the man," Mr. Jaines said in reply.
The "Count" had one of the best rooms
In the house. He gave card parties
not euchre nor whist and his bar bill
was a wonder. Even the bootblack, the
barber and the newsboy were his cred
itors for considerable amounts. When
the bill reached $3,000 Mr. lames
pressed for a settlement. The "Count"
refused to stay at a hotel where the
proprietor was so inconsiderate. He
moved out, leaving behind a trunk full
of frayed shirts and winter clothing.
He went to one of the big summer re
sorts, where he is said to be living on
the fat of the land. Mr. Jaines said
yesterday he still had hopes of getting
his money. "Count" Mitkiewicz was
born in Russia. His brother is an of-,
ficial there and his sister is the wife of
a London capitalist. Mitkiewicz is
said to have suffered on conviction of
defrauding hotel keepers in London.
Years igo he was a guest at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, this city. One day, as
die story goes, he borrowed a diamond
ring from Miss Julia Ixmoline. It is
charged that when it was returned the
stone was found to be paste. Then he
married Caroline Lester of Rochester,
who died in 1880. as it was said, of a
broken heart. The "Count's" biggest
scheme was a Chinese banking conces
sion. In Pekin he got the right to es
tablish a bank for China modeled after
the Bank of England. He talked too
much one night in Shanghai, and the
concession was canceled. In the mean
time he had convinced Wharton Bark
er and other millionaires that there
were millions in the scheme, and he
was the social lion of the season in
Philadelphia, New York and Newport.

The report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission for the year end
ing June 3, 1897, shows the net earn
ings of the railways representing a
total mileage of 180,027 miles were
$369,050,856. The net earnings, in
creased by the income from sources
other than those connected directly
with the business of transportation,
such as income from investment In
stocks and bonds, produced the total
income of the railways for the year
from which Interest and other charges
against income are met before divi
dends are declared and the financial
result of the operations is shown in
the surplus remaining. The total in
come of the railways covered by the
report for the last fiscal year, includ
ing $34,166,636 income from invest
ments and miscellaneous sources whs
5403,217,512. The deductions for in
terest and other charges amounted to
555,878,180 for the dividends and sur
plus for the year. Since, however, the
dividends declared amounted to $57,
290,579. the figures show a deficit of
$1,412,399 in the Income account of the

To Prevent Intoxication.
Peanuts have a faculty of absorbing
alcohol and preventing it from demor
alizing the nerves and upsetting the
i '.linking machine. It is estimated, for
example, that if a man drinks a quart
of champagne and eats a pint of pea
nuts, the peanuts will overcome the
inebriating quality of the wine, with
out entirely curtailing its exhilarating
effects. The large proportion of oil in
the peanuts accounts for this result.
A good wine glass of olive oil has the
same effect.
