It k i ABOUT THRT JjUGMll) TREATY. CoIoqcI Michael Says None Exist, tfotwit.-staodiog the Cries ' of Popocrats. Nothing In the flflreenjent to Sanction Either Slavery or Polygarny. Washington, Oct. 25. -Colonel W. II. Michael, chief cleric of the state department, received a letter from ex-Congrreeamaa K. J. Halner this week statior; that the democrats and populist of Nebraska were matciofr much of whit they style the "Sulti treaty. and wern circulating printed copies of tbj alleged treaty, which recognizes slavery and polygamy in the Sulu iaUnda. Mr. Hainer asked that a copy of the '.roi'y be sent to him, if such a treaty had been made, and tint he be given all the facts re lating thereto. Colonel Michael Im mediately answered mbstinllally as fol om j "There i no fjch treaty, lor the good re-ison that a t etiy b-tween the sultnn of lie Sulu inland and the Un'ted Strut- wi.ii d lx.- an impossi bility and for th" fu -i.er reason that tbe only treay power tfthe United States is the se alt of the U'.Ued States, nod if tu treniy i negotiated through the dp irtme.it of state it is ooly .tentative and before it becomes operative must be approved by the pres dent o( tbe United States and ratiOed by the musIu. The sultan f the Sulu inlands has do power to make a treaty with po r th tl I y virtue of the arbitra tion of -Nruis and neo'.intioos with Spain is the sovereign power in the archipelago. Geoeral H ites was au-tho- z d by h w:tr deiH-tment. which hs a3mln'r..iive control of thePhil iippioe inlands, to proceed to tbe Suiu inlaid and take i-oaee-don, which he accomplished without bloodshed. Ily the exercise of a little diplomacy and good senee be succeeued in induoing the sultan to agree to the following points: First Recognition cf the sover eignty of the United States. "Second That the United States flag should float without molestation on the land and sea. Third The United States to con trol all points deemed necessary. "Fourth The introduction of fire arms to be prohibited. "Fifth Tbe sultan to assist in the suppression of piracy. "Sixth Tbe sultan to deliver crimi nals to tbe United States authoritie accused of orlmes not committed by Moros against Moros. Seventh Two other points io the archipelago should be occuppied by United States troops when conditions of trnde warranted. "This agreement between General Uile and the sultan went into effect August 24 and our forces have occu pied tb iMands without molestation since. Ib fact tbe sultan and those co-operating with him have been so friendly that they have sought per mission to drive out of the islands all who sympathized with Aguinaldo's rebellion against the sovereignty of the United Sutes. 'By recognizing the sovereignty of the United States the sultan puts him self in a position to become a subject to such laws and regulations as the United States may impose upon him. There is no recognition of slavery in the stipulations Detween the two par ties, nor is there anything to suggest that General Dales looks with ap proval upon polygamy or any other institutions in the islands that are in imical to Christian civilization.

A special from Great Flls, Mont , says: If anyone has concluded that the time has passed when tbe servant is as faithful to the interests of his master as he could be to his otto he shoutd consider the story of the recent bliz zard which swept through Teton county in the northern part of this state, a county Riven up to the raising of sheep and cattle. As a result of tbe storm nine men are known to be dead and of these five bodies bave been recovered. With one exception all were sheep herders and all were found lying in such posi tions as to indicate that they bad stayed with their bands to the la9t. dying in their attempts to tave the property of their employers. William Graham, working for the Cascade Lmd company, was found in a coulee near Healey's Butte. It is evident that he had tried hd during the night to get his sheep into camp. but had not succeeded. Conscious of the death Impending he returned to his tent about mianight and there wrote and left a note saying be was nearly exhausted, but was about to re turn to the sheep, which were drifting up the cou ee. He whs found sti etched on the snow, his lantern nearly twenty feet distant. He h id two dos, one of which remained to tuard tbe body while the other followed tbe sheep. He'was unmarried and recently said that he had not a relative in the world. Norman Bruce worked for Will Floweree. He remained with hisbeep until he managed to drivo them into a sheltered root wher they would be safe. Blinded by the n'Orm he mis took tbe coulee wher- his cabin wa built and wandered up mother. Real zing bis mistake too l ite, be turned back and fell less than li00 yards from his home and safety. Tbe searching patty found hi dog stretched ac iss the dead body. Bruca was unmarried and n native of Prince Edward island. Matt G egoricb was found with his arms crossed over his breast. His dog had followed the sheep into omp and returned with the rescuing party too late. Herald, working for C. R. Scoffin. was lying in the deep snow, bis beard eaten off by the sheep, which had also eaten his clothes and part of his boot--. This is only a portioa of the pathetic side of the disaster and the fidelity of one herder is probably no greater than another. It is probable that the death list is hardly begun. Bands of sheep with out herders have been found at var ious points in the storm district and later these wlil be traced and the dead herders found. The snow covers up everything on tbe prairie and the coulees, many of them more than 100 feet deep with steep sides, are filled with It. With out exception this was the most se vere and most fatal October storm ever occurring in Montana. 60IN6 TO BRING HOME DEAD. Will K.tar. Bodies of Soldiers Who Have Died la the Philippines. New York, Oct. 28. A special to the World from Washington says: D. LL Rhodes, an employe of the quarter master's department, who superin tended the removal of the dead sol diers from Cuba last spring, has de parted for Manila to make arrange ments for bringing to this country the bodies of tbe boys in blue who have fallen in battle or died of disease in tbe Philippine islands. The promise made by the president at the time of tbe breaking out of the Spanish war that the bodies of,all sol diers who fell in battle or died of dis ease io foreign countries should be re turned to their homes in this country for final Interment will bo strictly ad hered to in regard to the Philippine war. An expedition eont out last spring was a failure and bodies will be sent back by the returning transports which are now carrying troops to the islands and will probably reach this country about the first of the year. The temaining bvdies of American soldiers left In Cuba and Porto Rico last spring and tbe bodies of those who bave died in those islands since will be brought back to this Country in December. The returning shios bearing the dead from the Philippines will stop at Iltwaii to gather up the few odie3 of Ame' ican so diers interred there.

President Will MaKe Specific Pvecomnjendations In Re gard to Philippines. rEW YORK, Oct, 26. A special to the Herald from Washington sayp: Prompt declaration by congress in fa- search of historic buildings. When vor of asserting and maintaining com- ' tQe author of "Les Miserablcs" lived plete sovereignty over the Philippines there In that double, two-storied build at whatever cost and In favor of the , ,n- whIcn- unpretentious In most liberal kind of self-government when tbe Insurrection ends Is what the president wants.- It is also what the Pnilippine commissioners want. There is a great deal yet for the presi dent to do on his message and for the peace commissioners to do on their re port, but this one important conclu sion is certain. Your correspondent has excellent authority for tbe statement that the president intends to make specific recommendations to cungrecs in favor of boiding the Philippines per manently and as to the form of civil government to take the place of mili tary as soon as the Tugalos now in re bellion sui render. It is authorita tively slated that there will be no baif-way measures suggested for the purpose of side-tracking the Philip pine question until after the next cam paign. The president will face the' issue equarely and give congress the best information from his c--mmis- biutiers and other sources to supiKrt the position be has assumed. Alt m, mbers 01 the Philippine com m s-don are not talking for publica tion. 1 ht.ro is no doubt they will lay great stress in their report upon the desirability f a prompt and emphatic declaration, on the pirt of congress. which will couviuce tho?e now in re bellion that ail branches of the gov ernment are united on the question of p- rinanent control of the Phiiippioes. Such action, in the opinion of Admiral Dewey and Prof. Schurman, will be almost as effective as guns in ending tbe war in the Philippines. It is now only a question of the specifics kind of government the presi- will recommend. He will be governed in bis decision by the views of the Philippine commissioners, wbo-e final decision will be the result of the de liberations they are here for now. The Hist meeting of the commissioners will be held in the state department to morrow, but they will probably not begin the actual preparation of their report before next Monday. THE FUTURE OF COAL. Though the Fuel Supply la Dwindling Prospects Are Still Bright. Some people don't care what be comes of the coal supply of the world and others do. Without casting any aspersions upon those whom the ap proaching exhaustion of the earth's coal deposits moves not, we must nevertheless admire others for their so licitude as to what their descendants will do without it a few thousand years hence. The fact, however, that mankind every year uses about 400. 000.000 tons of the coal left in the world, estimated roughly at a paltry 600,000,000 tons, should rouse the heedless ones from their apathy. A few years ago it was foreseen that the supply of sperm whales would be exhausted, no more candles could be theater every night if the above pro made and man would V.e left In dark- gram wpre repeated. The manager ness. Even then there were people preferred, however, to be content with who didii t care, and when somebody Ler one-night success and left trie discovered kero-ene they said: "Oh, sleepy town the next day the popula I don't know!" or words something tlon having been thoroughly roused like that. Kerosene was getting scarce and another chill shook the planet. Then the ConsoUdated Gas Company was formed, usurping Col. Bryan's rights, gas took the place of kerosene, and Standard Oil went up ten points. It wasn't long before the world had another chill, but not such a bad one 86 the others. It was getting used to them. Gas was giving out, and the end of the world was near. But elec tric light came In time and saved the world from darkness. Now, however, somebody has discovered that in the generating of incandescent electric ' light 98 per cent of the energy used is thrown away, so electric light will have to go. The next thing will be animal light. Only 2 per cent of that is wasted. The Firefly and Glowworm Light company is due. But the devel- opment of electrical forces will not stoa the uso of coal, and so the coal barons can rejoice. Solar heat, tides. wave motion and wind currents can be harnessed, yet the day of the steam engine and coal is not past. These forces cannot be relied upon as coal. The Bitn does not shine with equal warmth every day nor does the wind oiow wun equal force. Waves tides vary greatly. and A Touching Cae. One of the most touching of the many touching cases in connection wl'.h the recent Welsh pit disaster is that of a widow mother who lost her only son. The young man had been long out of employment, and had tramped far and near to discover the means of getting the wherewithal to provide the necessaries of life for the ! to of tnem. just tbe day oefore the disaster ne got: a start in tbe ratea pit, and it was when tho old woman was reading the letter In which he told her of his good luck that she got a tele- gram announcing bis death. HUGO AND DICKENS. The Latter' Quaint Description of Bis Tarla Abode. Dealing with the Paris dvellings of these two writers, an article in the Pall Mall Magazine contains the fol lowing: "Leaving the neighborhood of the Latin quarter and returning to the right bank of the Seine there are still a number of houses which are Identified with the names of world wide known names In literature. Space will only permit of my mentioning one or two. The house at 124 Avenue Vic tor Hugo, where Victor Hueo died on May 22, 18S5, at the age of S3 years, will not be overlooked by those In j appearance, is surrounded uy a very pretty garden, it was 124 Avenue Eylau; and it was there that one of the cleverest and yet one of the most egotistical men of the century held those celebrated receptions to attend which was the ambition seventeen years ago of every young man of let ters. Then there is the house where Charles Dickens resided at the close of the year 184B. In a letter to Forster. his biographer, the author of "David Copperfleld" gave a description of this corner house at Si (formerly 4S) Rue de Courcelles. If I remember rightly, his description was a very odd ove. He said something about the house being "the most ridiculous and unpar alleled one in the world," it was "a cross between a haunted cattle and a new kind of clock, one roo n resem bling a tent and another a grove" such a quaint description "s only Dickens could have penned.

A woman theater director in Russia recently hit upon a novel plan for at tracting an audience in an unspeak ably dull provincial town, says the London Telegraph. She was at Perm with a uaveling troupe, the capital of the "government" of the same name, with a population of "0.000 souls, no torious, above all. for their contempt for art and 7iteratute. It is related of the inhabitants that scarcely one had ever crossed the threshold of the theater and that no manager had ever earned enough to pay his hotel 'Mil. Doubtless the lady In question wanted to score a point, so she determined to venture where angels fei.r to tread. At first she met with no better suc cess than her mule "'.'enpti'v. und t; players had to perform before empty seats; but a-j soon :is she played a trump card, which held good for one evening, the receipts .onsiilf-raMy ex ceeded her antieipations. Tha house was literally picked full, right up to the gallery. Tli way it was done was a3 follows: On the morning of the performance she hid rot ices placarded all over the town anno'iiicina: for the evening a "Performance with Sur prise !" The surprises consisted of a series of lotteries during the pauses after the acts. '1 he prizes were seven samovars, five dressing gowns, seven clocks, a variety of household neces saries and a live horse and a live cow: The audience was enthusiastic and the people vowed they would visit th ,out of their state of inertia. "When out boys were almost dead from whtiopinp; coujrl, our doctor gave One Minute Cough Cure. They re covered rapidly," writes P. B. Belles, Argyle, Pa. It cures coughs, colds, grippe and all throat and lung troubles. F. G. Fricke & Co. Full or Snake. It was thought that Mrs. Elizabeth Gehrken. of Napoleon, Ohio, was la boring under a hallucination when she crslsted that she was "full of snakes," mit an operation that was performed iPn the old lady proved she knew wbat she was was talking about. More than a year ago, while drinking water sh? haJ drawn from a well. Mrs. Gehrken claims to have swallowed a snke, which has caused her no end of trouble. An emetic was admlnis- reu a Ie' s ago, wnicn resulted in bringing forth a number of small makes, with heads shaped like those f a fish. The aged lady persisted that :he snakes were not all removed. A tonsultation was held by local physi cians, and It was decided to perform an operation, which resulted in taking from the intestines nine snakes, the longest of which is two feet three inches and the smallest one seveu inches and about half the size of the ordinary lead pencil about the thicke-t part of the body. XaturalUt-s Stbrmr. A naturalist found that black ants were devouring the skins of some bird specimens on a table, so he mad- tar " "'" ice3 or paper, and put one under each leg of the table.

Brave Men Fall victim to stomach, liver and kidney troubles a9 well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, headacho, and tired, listless, run-down feeling.

Since the commencement cf the Trass-Siberian railway immigration to Siberia has developed with enormous strMfs, sijs th? London Leader. He tween 1S2 and lHHo only 050,000 per sons entered the country, viz., 50,509 every year. In 1S96 the numbers snd denly sprung up to 203.000; in 1S?S they reached 2o5.000. The Immigra tion is conducted by a eornniittr-o of officials, whose members portion out the land through which the new rail way run3. Up to the present ruoaiPnt 15.0i'0.0tii acres have been occupied. and this comprises all the available agricultural land. But, notwithstand ing, the Russian government allows thousands of Immigrants still to swarm into Siberia, and to go to ruin in the barren and miserable marsh lands. The reason ct the government's apathy is due to the fact that the officials wish thus to get rid of the starving thou sands in European Russia. There is 1( civilizing influence with these fresh , ; nini:rants. The majority are .eg- . (.. with scarcely more intelligence than the Asiatics already in Siberia. The filling tii of Siberia by the prs-ent-d:y process is nothing less than the uslesn sacrifice of thousands of hapless beings. What Do the Children Drink? Don't give thorn tea or coffee.
