In THE investigation of Stale Aud

THE legislature is not absorbing all

EDO Alt IioWAKD, editor of the

The insurance committee has recom

Davk Mekcew is doing a hole lot

I'iatu mouth and Kearr-cy, which had
luen favorably reported from tho com
mittee, were not reached. II s action
I ivo. intr the lirt two was dictated by
pilitic--, Senator Alien refusing to

tion of the Greater American expo

passed. Strode has fought the expo

THEY ARK FIERCE FIGHTERS.
The Baltimore Sun prints an inter
view wilh Engineer Baker of the mon
itor Monterey, who has justieturned
from Manila, ic which some of the
prevailing impressions regarding ihe
Filipinos are shown to be incorrect,
says the Bee. Mr. Baker eaiu it is
ridiculous to speaK of those people as
being a race altoaether of savages,
ignorant and helpless. Many of them
are, indeed, ignorant, but the have an
upper class composed of brainy men
who have European ideas. They are
an intensely pitriotic people and they
fight fiercely. Mr. Baker expressed
doubt whether the United States could
ever conquer the whole country.
The American people have learned
that the Filipinos can and will fight
and while they arc of course very much
inferior to our soldiers they are demon
strating that they have courage and
persistence. 1 he latest advices are to
the effect that they are very active.ap
parent'y preparing fo1 another demon
stration against Manila, though it is
improbable they will attempt this. It
has also been pretty conclusively
shown that there are men of no mean
intelligence opposing the American
occupation. Some of these may not be
prompted altogether by patriotism, but
it is not to be doubted that a majority
of them are wholly in earnest in seek
ing independence. Mr. Baker said
they might be induced to accept some
sort of a protectorate, but even in that
case there would be trouble.
Sub.icrihe now for The Neays
INCKKANINd THK NAVY.
Public opinion, while divided on the
question of permanently increasing
the regular army, is practically unan
imous In favor of building up the navy,
but this should be done gradunlly.says
the Deo. The naval committee of the
senate takes this view of the matter
and therefore opposes the ioercne in
I the navy provided for iu 1h houe
bill. This tutasure Authorizes the
coiKf ruction of twelve war shipr. It
provides for three sea-t?oin'j conatlino
battleship nrryino; the heaviest
armament and most powerful ordnance
for vessels of their clas-, to cost, ex
clusive of armor and armament, not
exceeding $3,600,000 each; threo at
mored cruisers, carrying tho heaviest
guns and armor of vessels of their
class and to cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, not exceeding1 $1,000,-
000 each; six protected cruisers, to
cost, exclusive of armor and arma
ment, not to excoed $1,141,800 each.
Tho cost of these twelve vessels com-
' plete would be about $43,000,000.
This is a very largo sum to appro
priate at one time fcr tho construc
tion of war vessels and it is the judg
ment of the senate committee on naval
affairs that it should be reduced ono
half. Wo think this view will meet
with very general public approval.
Theie does not appear to be any im
mediate necessity for such an increase
in tho navy as the houso bill author
izes, but it is necessary that the de
mands upon the national treasury shall
not be unduly increased and the gov
ernment bo compelled to levy mora
taxes or sell more bonds. Six addi
tional war ships are enough to pro
vide for ac present, for it may be
found before these are c. mpleted that
with this increase our navy will be as
large as we need. At all events tho
jinancij consideration is at this time
too important to be disregarded.
INFORMATION AND OPINION.
After a service of nearly twenly
years on the bench of the United
States court of Kentucky, Judge John
II. Barr has tendered his resignation
to President McKiniey .n account of
ill health and advancing ago. He
was appointed by President Hayes in
1880. He will retire on full pay at

As for the male populatlon.it con
sists mainly of some 50.000 replicas of
Hir Henry Irving as Shylock, says the
London Chronicle. They havr all bor
rowed his sash, his furred gaberdine
and his complete "make-up." These
are the descendants of Jews who tied
from the Spanish inquisition, and
whether it he the result of in-breeding
or of some oilier cause, they are all
alike. No doubt they know one an
other, and perhaps a practiced resi
dent can tell them just as a shepherd
can tell his flock-apart. Their wom
tnkind wear a remarkable uniform,
which mij;ht have a certain charm if
worn by people or a different shape.
It may he said to consist chiefly of
decolletage no corset and a green
satin door-knocker at the back of the
head. Feminine vanity takes the form
of competition in the size of the door
knocker. It is not a vision of perfect
heanty, but at any rate it is better
than a yashmak. The truth is that
women of all races and creed in Tur
key have given up trying to wear at
tractive clothes out of sheer despair
at the unapproachable gorgeousness of
the cavass. A cavass in full uniform
defies competition." I happened to be
present the other day at Constanti
nople at the semi-official farewell of
M. Cambon. the departing French am
bassador. Ihe central figure on the
railway platform, towering above am
bassadors and putting the mere mili
tary into the shade, was a splendid
denture ir. dazzling scarlet. It was
the first cavass of the British embas
sy. Sometimes the cavass affects the
Albanian costume short braided
jacket, jaunty cap and stiif, white ballet-dancer
petticoat. I instinctively
looked to see these gentlemen pirou
ette on their toes. The cavass is noto
riously and pardonably vain. It Is
not only that he is conscious of a cos
tume; he remembers that he was once
n janissary. Hence he goes armed to
the teeth, even though it is only to
carry his mistress' lap rlog. It v e ever
introduce the cavass into Lo;;don
and why not? in the affections of the
nursemaids he will prove a forpiidable
rival to Policeman X. and Dandy Dan,
the life guardsman. And he is as use
ful as he is ornamental. The protec
tion of a cavass gets you through the
custom? with hardly the opening of a
hat box, knocks 2Z per cent off the
sum by which you are cheated in the
bazaars, and even keeps the irrepressi
ble little Jewish shoeblacks from run
ning at your heels. His dignified
port, though it at first abashes, at
last stimulates and fortifies you. Vou
feel that you are hiking par in the
precession, and that now or never Is
the time fcr your demereor to be not
ed by the reporters as "'alfnble." This
1s the cavass frame of mind. And to
think that you can enjoy the harmless
exaltation for "the riuh iilous sum" of
a few piasters!

P. II. Butlor, of pack-train No. ',
writing from Santiago do Cuba, on
July -3, says: "Wo all had diarrhoea
in more less violent form, and when
wo landed wo had no time to hoc a
doctor, for it was a c iso of rush and
rush night and day to keep the. troopi
supplied with amunition and ration-,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, wo
wore able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, I sincerly bolievo
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect savior of our army.
for if tho packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
vero no roads that a wagon train
could use. Mv comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in a sup
ply of this medicine for our puck-train
before wo left Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."

and amid deep and general emotion
the little fellow respectfully pressed
his lips the flag and then rejoined
his companions, who accorded him an
