FORMER ASSAILS PRESIDENT He Denounces Our Attitude Toward England as “Flunkeyism”—Thinks it Proper that Lord Pauncefote Be Ordered Home. WASHINGTON, Eeb. 15.—The mo notony of a private pension day of the house wa3 enlivened by an im passioned speech from Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky in denunciation of what he denominated “flunkeyism” to for eign countries. He took the recent statements emanating from the conti nental cabinets regarding the attitude of Great Britain during the Spanish American war as a text for a whole sale attack upon the trend of the United States’ recent diplomacy. He severely scored Secretary Hay and de clared that if Lord Pauncefote had sought, as was alleged, to circumvent this country during the war of 1898, the sooner he was shipped across the seas the better. He also criticised the president for his reported intention to send his daughter to the coronation of King Edward and protested against the offi cial reception of Prince Henry. His speech aroused the house to a high pitch of excitement and elicited from Mr. Boutell of Illinois a spiced defence of Secretary Hay, whom he eulogized in high terms. Several members took a hand and later In the afternoon Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio took Mr. Wheeler to task for hiB “inop portune protest” and rehearsed the history of the visit of the prince of Wales to this country in 1860 and his reception by President Buchanan. Mr. Wheeler excoriated what he termed the modern disposition toward “European flunkeyism.” Until 1896, he said, all Americans had gloried In the snlendid isolation of the renublic anil its determination to hold aloof from foreign entangling alliances. Less than five years ago, he declared, a president, "goaded on by the pitia ble flunkey in the State department,” had stretched his arms across the seas in adulation to the people of Great Britain and today the government was hugging to its bosom that which since the battle of Yorktown had systemat ically and persistently plotted our downfall. “I have respect for the present oc cupant of the White House, I frankly avow,” said the speaker. “I think he is too honest to be palatable to the average republican partisan. A little Quixotic, it is true, hasty-tempered, full-blooded and not exactly desirable to many of our citizens, and I indulge the hope that the lingering element of Americanism will induce him at the first opportunity to boot out that man in the State department, who in my judgment has brought us to this hu miliating condition.” He continued: "England a friend of the United States? I would to God she were, bur what a spectacle have we presented in order to boast that we have the friendship of Great Brtain and have become a world power. “For more than four years we have witnessed Great Britain maintaining military stations Inside the borders of two republics. We have seen her agents going up and down this coun try enlisting men and buying mate rials of war, and I believe I will not travel outside the record when I as sert that any, member upon this floor who has served here as much as four years has received letters from his constituents protesting against the enforced enlistment of American boys by the English government to do bat tle in South Africa. “We have swung further away from the democratic traditions, from repub lican ideas and republican principles in the last five years than in the pre vious 100 years.” W. E. West Acquitted. AMES, la., Feb. 14.—The trial of W. E. West of Grand Forks, Minn., for killing Frank March, has resulted in his acquittal after a three weeks' ses sion. Report of Tolstoi’s Death. VIENNA, Feb. 15.—The Nieus Wie ner Journal publishes an unconfirmed rumor that Count Tolstoi is dead. A bill was introduced in congress by Delegate Flynn, providing for two additional judges in Oklahoma and placing judicial salaries in the terri tory at $5,000 a year. Introduces Treason Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Senator Hoar today offered the following amendment to the Philippine tariff bill now pending in the senate, the provision to be inserted at the end: “No person in the Philippine islands shall, under the authority of the Uni ted States, be convicted of treason by any tribunal, civil or military, unless upon the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or confession in open court.” FOR GOVERMENT EXHIBIT. House Committee and St. Louis Men Discuss Appropriation. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The offi cials of the government board for the St. Louis exposition and a number of St. Louis men Identified with that enterprise today were before the house committee on expositions rela tive to the amount required for the government exhibit. Congress has heretofore appropri ated $250,000 as a part of the amount for the building, but the amount for the exhibit itself was left open. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Brigham, head of the government board, and his assistants calculate on $800,000 for the exhibit. They also desire a building to cost $450,000. Supervising Architect Taylor of the Treasury department stated that the building would cost from $50,000 to $75,000 more if built within the time originally set for opening the exposi tion than it would if another year was allowed. The various officials explained the magnitude of the work and the plans to make this government exhibit in every way worthy of the enterprise as a whole. RUSSIA LIKELY TO PLAY EVEN. Austrian Papers See a Way to Be Re venged. VIENNA, Feb. 14.—The Anglo-Jap anese treaty of alliance is the feature of today’s news in the Austrian news papers and Russia’s probable action is widely discussed. The consensus of opinion among those who are gen erally in touch with Russian views is that the militant Muscovites will endeavor to revenge themselves by stirring up disorders in Afghanistan, while the Russian government will lie low, awaiting the moment when Jap an, having organized the military forces of China, will join hands with the latter and drive out all Euro peans with the exception of the Rus sians, who, by that time, will occupy an impregnable position in Manchu ria. Some of the papers affect to see in the publication of the treaty at the time when Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia is starting for the United States “Great Britain's reply to Ger many’s reapproachment with the Uni NOW OUT OF DANGER. Young Roosevelt is on the Road to Recovery. GROTON, Mass., Feb. 14.—The most eventful day at the Groton school since Theodore Roosevelt, jr., became ill closed with the departure of President Roosevelt for Washing ton late last evening. Before that the president, in the homely phrase “Ted has improved with such rapid jumps that I am sure he is out of the woods,” had told to the world of the load lifted from his mind. The day was full of happiness for the president and Mrs. Roosevelt, and for all at the infirmary or near the school grounds. The first report from the bedside of young Roosevelt showed that he had passed a good night. After the morning examina tion by the doctors it was announced that the boy’s condition was pro gressing favorably. The report said that the lungs were clearing well, although the patient was still in the second stage of pleuro-pneumonia, known to medical men a3 the stage of education. Olympia Ready for Prince. NEW YORK, Feb. 14—The United States cruiser Olympia, Captain Hen ry Lyman commanding, went into the harbor from Boston and dropped an chor off Tompkinsvllle, S X., about 1 o'clock. Olympia comes here to par ticipate in the naval reception of Prince Henry, after which it will pro ceed south to become the flagship of Rear Admiral Higginson, commanding the North Atlantic squadron, now In West Indian waters. Kill'd Quail. WATERLOO, la., Feb. 14.—For shooting six quail Harry Fields, taxi dermist for the state normal school, was fined $125 by Justice Hildebrant. Fields will take an appeal, as he holds that he had a right to kill the quail for scientific purposes. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones has given formal notice that the new leases of the 480,000 acres of Kiowa Indian lands in Oklahoma, bor dering on Texas, will take effect April 17, as originally proposed. An effort had been made to have the date post poned some months. Merging Express Companies. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.—The Cal intimates that the four big ex press companies of the country—the Adams, American, United States and Wells-Fargo—may merge into one corporation. It says that “word comes by private message from the east that E. H. Harriman, president of the Southern Pacific company, will be elected to the presidency of the Wells-Fargo Express company at the next meeting of the stockholders.” ASKS ANNEXATION FILIPINOS PETITION FOR PERMA NENT UNION WITH AMERICA. SEND A MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS Says Natives Desire a Definite Civil Form of Government—All Provinces Except Two Said Now to Be Peace ful. .j—if' l V L - - WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—The me morial of the federal party of the Philippine islands was transmitted to the senate yesterday by the secretary of war, together with a letter of transmittal by Governor Taft, in whose charge the document was given. The memorial was adopted at an ex traordinary session of the federal party held in Manila in Noevmber. It sets forth that the performance of that obligation of the treaty of Paris which gave the United States congress au thority to fix the statutes of the Phil ippine islands, has been deferre t to this time because of the attack by the Filipinos upon the sovereignty of the United States, an act brought about, the memorial says, through a misunderstanding and not through hatred of the American sovereignty. It further states that out of the sixty provinces and districts war ex ists in only two—Batatngas and Sa mar. It also asserts that it is a dem onstrated fact that the pueblos, or towns, anxiously desire a “definitive civil rule,” and says that those who are still in arms allege the lack of a civil regime, “agreed upon and pro mulgated by the congress of the United States as a weighty pretext for their belligerent attitude, which regime shall determine at once the political status and civil rights of the inhab itants of the archipelago in accord ance with the treaty of Paris.” The memorial then makes a pres entation of the deduction of the fed eral party that congress should pro ceed to carry into effect its intention of defining the future of the Philip pines in their relations to the United States and asserts that there is no rpnsnn fnr nnt rprxlnoincr the mUHnrv regime “by a civil rule of a popular character in conformity with the de cisive words of the never-to-be-forgot ten President McKinley.” The memorial proper is divided into two parts. The first of these is a pe tition for annexation and a presenta tion of the form of government de sired. In this subdivision the federal party sets forth that it has made an exhaustive study of both the Filipinos and the Americans and concludes that from the mass of data collected it is "the intention of the two peoples that they should never be disunited.” The memorial then proceeds: To make the Philippines a colony of the United States or to grant in dependence to the Philippines would be to hand the islands over to disorder and to anarchy, to destruction and to chaos. In effect the colonial system involves the principles of difference of citizenship, in equality of rights and other consequent abuses and in justices, of all of which we Filipinos were surfeited under the Spanish gov ernment, and for this reason we re ject everything which tends toward a colony. Philippine independence, with or without a protectorate, means a holding of power by all the tribal ele ments of the secas which predominate, and would predominate still for years, until the anger of Filipinos toward Filipinos shall have become complete ly calmed, education become general and the fanaticism we have inherited from Spain exiled. Federation or an nexation would settle all these difficul ties by concentrating the interest of the Filipino people upon education and labor. HOPE FOR AMERICAN SUPPORT. British Papers Think We Sympathize with Alliance. LONDON. Feb. 13.—The liberal aft ernoon newspapers view the alliance between Great Britain and Japan with .mixed feelings and conservative or gans generally applaud it. The St. James Gazette (conservative) express es “modified surprise at this wide de parture from British traditional pol icy,” but finds solace in the thought that the policy and interests of the United States are identical with those of Great Britain and Japan, and con cludes: “Perhaps we shall find, when the policy of Great Britain is definitely known, that the United States is formally or informally a party to the league of peace in the far east. At any rate, no effort should be spared to secure its adhesion.” Destroys Many Buildings. PITTSBURG, Feb. 13.—An early morning fire at Haverhill, Pa., on the West Penn railroad, destroyed $75,000 worth of property and for a time threatened the entire place. The fire started in the plant of the Duquesne Distributing company and before it was under control consumed the main structure, a four-story brick building, the Firet Methodist Episcopal church, postoffice and Thompson's general ■tore, a large frame building. —————— Longest a Judge. Judge John J. Jackson, of West Virginia, has been a justice of '* the United States district court for forty years. He has served as a judge longer than any other man In the his tory of the state or federal courts. He is now 77 years old and claims that he will die in the harness, an event, however, which seems to be far in the future, as he is still active and vigor ous. Creed’s Discovery. John M. Creed, of Berkley, Cal., a veteran of the civil war, applied re cently for a pension, and found that a woman in Ohio, posing as his widow, had been drawing his pension for many years. She is actually the wid ow of another John M. Creed, who, however, is not entitled to a pension, not having served in the war. It is be lieved that others have obtained pen sions in the same fraudulent way. Long on Rank. Two Barings hold now four peer ages—two earldoms, Northbrook and Cromer; two baronies, Ashburton and Revelstoke. And the founder of the family, like the first Rothschild, came from Germany. He was a Lutheran minister, who settled with his son in Exeter some 200 years ago, and start ed a cloth manufactory. - —■ ,*»■•' ; i no Clinched It. I Erie, Kans., Feb. 17th.—In July of 1900, W. H. Ketchum of this place was suddenly seized with a violent pain In his back. He says he supposed it was a "stitch” and would soon pass away, but it lasted five months and caused him great soreness, so that he was barely able to get out of bed. He be came alarmed and consulted a doctor which only increased his anxiety and did him no good. 1 A friend who had some experience advised him to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Ketchum began with six pills a day and in a week was well and the soreness all gone. However, this did not satisfy him, for he says: “I thought I would clinch the cure with another box and I did. I have had no recurrence of the trouble since and as this is over a year ago I am thoroughly convinced that Dodd’s Kid ney Pills have completely cured me.’* A swallow, flying from home, made 140 miles at the rate of 128% miles an hour.
