Uaeoai Washington Matters.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The only
measure of importance which the sen
Ate has on Its calendar for the pres
ent week is the new Hay-Pauncefote
' treaty, making provision for the ab
rogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
and opening the way for the unob
structed construction of an isthmian
canal by the United States. Acting
for the committee ou foreign relations
Senator Lodge will ask the senate to
go into executive session today for
the consideration of the treaty and
each day hereafter until the treaty is
disposed of. It can be said that at
this time the prospect is very strong
that the treaty will be ratified and
It now looks as if this result would
be secured after comparative little
delay.
There will be some debate and some
features of the document will be
criticised as undesirable, but there is
no probability of captious opposition.
The criticism will be along the lines
Indicated by Senators Money and
Bacon in the committee on foreign re
lations at its meeting on last Friday.
No senator has thus far shown a
disposition to carry his discussion to
a point of ultimate effort to defeat
ratification. The principal authors of
the criticism of the treaty are south
ern senators, who are generally very
anxious for the construction of the
canal. They find that all canal legis
lation will be tied up until action can
be secured on the treaty and they
are on this account less liable than
they otherwise would be to do any
thing to delay action upon the treaty
itself. The most active friends of the
treaty now claim that ratification will
be obtained before the Christmas holi
days. Beyond the consideration of the
treaty rery little business will be un
dertaken before the holidays. It is
now generally agreed that the ques
tion of reciprocity will go over until
January, probably without so much as
"being mentioned, and it may be added
that from being for a time the sub
ject most likely to attract early at
tention. It has taken a position among
the matters which will not be vigor
ously urged. When the reciprocity
treaties do come up for consideration
there will be persistent opposition to
the agreement with France and to
that -with Great Britain covering the
West Indies.
There Is not so much feeling over
the conventions with the South Amer
ican republics. The present outlook
is also against the Immediate action i.i
the senate looking to tariff legislation
for the Philippines, and there are
now some indications that the senate
will wait upon the house of representa
tives In this matter. Probably the
Chinese exclusion act will be reported
from committee during the week. The
nomination of Attorney General Knox
will be reported at the first executive
session, but Immediate confirmation
will probably be antagonized by some
senators.
GOOD OMEN FOR THE TREATY
English Press Viatnres that It Will Sor

LONDON, Dec. 9. The Times, In an
1 editorial on the Hay-Pauncefote canal
treaty, says it in hard to see how
Great Britain could concede more
without pretending to give what she
did not possess, namely, the rights of
territorial sovereignty.
"That act," says ihe Times, "would
ant weaken the objections of those
senators to anything making for good
relations with Great Britain. As
President Rooserelt and public opin
ion seem to favor this treaty, we ven
ture to say it will surmount the
threatened obstruction."

WASHINGTON. Pec. 9. The house
this week will probably pass a meas
ure to meet the situation created by
the Philippine decision of tee supreme
court last Monday. Vp to the present
time, however, the republican mem
bers of the ways and means commit
teee have not decided up6n the char
acter of the measure which will be
J reported.
A difference of ODinionexlsts as to
whether there should be a temporary
enactment of the Dingley rates on
goods entering the United States from
the Philippines, or whether a perma
nent possession of the island should
be prepared. It is said Chairman
Payne favors the latter course.
The republican committees will
meet again tomorrow. If it is de
cided to enact a temporary measure
the procedure will be exceedingly sim
ple and it probably can be passed in a
day. If, on the other band, an entire
scheme of tariff legislation is to be
consummated more time willl be tak
en up in the preparation and passage.
KILL AMERICAN DESERTER

MANILA, Dec. S. The scouts from
Bengabon province of Nueva Ecija
have killed the American negro, David
Fagin, a deserter from the Twenty
fourth (colored) infantry, who for
more than two years has been lead
ing Filipinos against the American
troops. The native scouts decapitated
their prisoner. The man's head,
however, was recognized as that of

Fagin is the deserter who has been
reported killed on several occasions.
The authorities are satisfied that for

roneous ani that he has now been
killed.
NEPBLRN'S CANAL BILL
Iowa Senator Introduces Proposition for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. Represent
ative Hepburn of Iowa introduced his
isthmian canal biil, which by reason
of his being the author of the bill
passed last year and his probable con
tinuance at the head of the bouse
commerce committee, Is regarded as
the measure which will serve as a
basis for action by the house. It differ,
from the Hepburn bill passed last
year, In making the total appropria

WHY THE WAR GOES ON
General Chaffee Ee ports Causes of Gueril
la Uprisirgs in Philippines.
REBELS TREACI1ER01S IN EXTREME
Take Advantage of Humanity Displayed
by Most American Soldiers Intimida
tion that Dlecoarages Baste In Sup
planting Military With Clell Kale.
"WASH1NU1UN, .Nov. 7. The Warl
department today made public the
first annual report of Major General
Chaffee, military governor of the Phil
ippines. General Chaffee sums up the
situation in the Islands from a mili
tary point of view by Btating that
the provinces of Batangas and La
Guna, in Luzon, and the islands of
Samar, Mindoro, Cebu and Bohol con
stitute) the area now disturbed by any
embodied force of insurgents. He
says that to the physical character of
the country, to the nature of the war
fare of the rebels, who are amigos
and foe in the self-same hour, to the
humanity of the troops, which is tak
en advantage of by the rebels and the
Inhabitants who sympathize with
them, and to the fear of assassination
on the part of the friendly disposed
If they give information to the
American forces, Is due the promulga
tion of the "guerrilla warfare.
Commenting upon the plan of grad
ually replacing military with civil ad
ministration, General Chaffee says
"The withdrawal of Interference
with civil affairs does not contemplate
withdrawal of the troops frota their
stations to any considerable extent.
On the contrary, this should not be
done hastily and when undertaken
should be gradual and more in the
nature of concentration than reduc
tion of force or abandonment of any
considerable area of territory."
He therefore recommends that there
be no material reduction of troops be
fore January, 1903. The civil govern
ments which are being organized
provincial and municipal General
Chaffee says, are both new and untried
and there Is but one certain and reli
able method of ascertaining the
progress of the Filipinos in self-government,
namely, its observation by
the army.
"In the government of Manila for
threee years, if the military influences
have done nothing more, it Is every
where apparent that an excellent
foundation has been laid and a tur
bulent and hostile community brought
to observe the laws and individually
be orderly. This has been done with
out undue harshness or great severity
of treatment of the inhabitants."
In anticipation of a partial concen
tration of the troops In the islands
next year General daffee (submits
estimates of cost for the construction
of quarters and barracks. He recom
mends that a permanent post be con
structed at once In the vicinity of
Manila for a garrison of two squad
rons of cavalry, two batteries of ar
tillery and two full regiments of In
fantry, together with a hospital and
store house, the whole to be under
the command of a brigadier general.
He gives $000,000 as a rough esti
mate of cost for this project, and says
that $200,000 should be available im
mediately, In order to take full advan
tage of the dry season. For the con
struction of permanent quarters at
other places which may be determined
upon he estimates that $2,000,000 is
required.
General Chaffee devotes a good por
tion to the terrible disaster which be
fell Company C, Ninth Infantry, at
Ilalangiga, Samar, and which, he says,
was "largely due to overeonfldence in
the assumed pacified conditions and
In a people who to a great extent as
yet are strangers to and unapprecia-
tive of our humane and personal lib
erty beliefs and actions." . .
M'KINLEY NATIONAL PARK
Ul Proldlof a Reservation Tract In
Apelachlaa Mountains.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. Represent
ative Brownlow Introduced In the
house a bill of the last congress for
the creation of a park In the south
ern Apalachlan mountains. The bill
provides that the park shall be called
the McKlnley National park and shall
contain 4.000,000 acres.
"President McKlnley when alive was
an ardent advocate of this park," said
Mr. Brownlow, discussing the bill.
'The south loves and reveres his
memory because be did more than any
other man to unite this cause. That
Is why they want me to Introduce
this bill, creating the McKlnley Na
tional park, In grateful remembrance
of the man."
Oanboat Vleasaerg Reports.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The nary
department received a delayed cable
gram, dated November 25, stating that
the gunboat Vlcksburg went Into dork
tor the winter at Neuchwang, China.
Thla Information relieved the naval
officials of quite a little anxiety felt
In regard to the welfare of this ves
sel. It Is explained that the cable
facilities near Neuchwang are very
poor and accounted for absence of Information.
DEPORTATION Of ANARCHISTS
Barrows Introduces a Mill for the Esans
Inatlon of Suspected Aliens.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Senator
Burrows has Introduced a bill "to pro
vide for the exclusion and deportation
of alien anarchists." The first section
of the bill Is as follows:
"That no alien anarchists shall here
after be permitted to land at any port
of the United Slates or be permitted
into the United States, but this pro
hibition shall not be construed as to
anniy to Dolitlcal refugees or political
offenders other than such anarchists."
The Becond bei tiou directs the-jpei
clal board of Inquiry authorized by the
immigration laws to make diligent In
vestigation concerning the antecedents
of any alien seeking admission into
the United States who la suspected of
being an anarchist, authorizing the
board to sven go to the extent of ex
amining the person of suspected
aliens indicative of membership in an
archistic societies. Section three pro
vides for the return of persons to their
native countries who have secured ad
mission to the United States contrary
to law and who have afterward been
found to be anarchists.
The fourth section provides that
when any alien is convicted of crime
Jn the United States court and it
shall appear from the evidence that
he is a? anarchist the presiding judge
shall direct a further hearing and If
the judge is satisfied that the convict
ed alien is an anarchist or that his re
maining in this country will be a
menace to the government or society
in general, he may direct that in addi
tion to other punishments adjudged
the convicted alien after undergoing
rsuch punishments shall be deported at
the expense of the United States to
the country from which he came, and
if he returns to the United States
shall be punched by imprisonment at
hard labor for a period not exceeding
five years, and afterward again de
ported." OPPOSE THE SENATE'S ACTION
Is an Invasion of the Prerogative of the
Lower Body.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Members
of the house of representatives are
showing some opposition to the orig
ination of Philippine revenue legisla
tion in the senate, and in particular
to Senator Lodge's bill, which deals
with this subject. Representative
Tawney of Minnesota holds that the
constitutional provision that "all bills
for raising revenue shall originate in
the house of representatives," applies
to Philippine measures, and the Min
nesota member will oppose any senate
bill on the subject as an invasion of
the prerogatives of the house.
Mr. Overstreet of Indiana and quite
a number of other influential members
maintain that the senate Philippine bill
involves no invasion of house rights,
as It extends an existing law to the
Philippines, and is not a revenue
measure within the meaning of the
constitution. In any event the ques
tion of the right of the house over the
subject is likely to be discussed on
the floor of the house.
PRICES REACH M.Gtt LEVEL,
Necessaries of Life Surpass the Record
of Many Years.
NEW YORK, Dec. C Dun's index
number, to be Issued December 7, will
say:
"If a man purchased his supplies
for one year on December 1 they
would have cost $101.37, while the
same quantity of the same articles
would have aggregated only $72.45 on
July 1, 1897, the lowest point on rec
ord, and $121.75 on January 1, 1860.
These price records are compiled by
multiplying the quotations of all the
necessaries of life by the per capita
consumption. Prices are now at the
highest point In many years, and In
fact surpass all records since present
Improved methods of manufacture and
distribution have been In use, and ag
ricultural operations were first begun
on the present extensive scale with la
bor saving machinery."
Two Tears of Purchase.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Mr. Trace-
well, the comptroller of the currency
has decided that the act of May 12,
1900, prohibits the allowance of any
claim for the redemption of docu
mentary Internal revenue stamps un
less presented within two years after
the purchase of the stamps from the
government.
The question raised was whether
the two years should run from tht
time the stamps were purchased by
the person applying for their redemp
tion, or from the time they were orig
inally purchased from the govern
ment Kavy Tard Meeds Money.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The rapid
growth of the navy Is the plea set up
by Rear Admiral Endlcott, chief of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks, to justify
the submission of estimates for the
maintenance of Improvements aggre
gating $21,626,359. He admits that
these estimates are much beyond the
limit supposed probable when the cur
rent appropriations were made, but de
clares that all the works named an
considered necessary.

Who Infest This Count7.
A REMEDY TO KEEP TIUM Oil
atcCoinas Fluils It Infliction uf the Death
Penalty Senator tloar IMski It Use
less to Multiply Punishment for An
archism. WAj3HINGTON, Dec. 6. Senator
McComas of Maryland wade an extend
ed and carefully prepared speech In the
senate with anarchy for his theme and
was followed by some brief remarks
by Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts on the
difficulties In the way of dealing with
anarchist assassins. Mr. McComas' re
marks showed careful examination of
the legal authorities.
He maintained that congress had
full power under tbe constitution to
enact a law punishing with death any
person killing a president or assault
ing the president with Intent to kill,
or aiding, inciting or procuring such
an act. He favored rigid provisions
in the Immigration laws for the de
portation of alien anarchists. Much
of the speech was devoted to an ex
planation of the dangerous doctrines
of anarchy and the extent to which
these doctrines had been propagated
within recent years.
Senator Hoar's remarks were inter
esting as coming from the venerable
chairman of the Judiciary committee,
which will have much to do with the
framing of any legislation on this sub
ject. He said the difllculty was that
assassins of kings and rulers always
gloried in their crimes and were In
nowise deterred by the feur of punish
ment. For this reason he thought it
was almost useless to multiply punish
ments. The most effective remedy, he
suggested, would be to have the civil
ized nations of the world agree upon
some desolate spot on the earth's sur
face, to which all anarchists who up
held assassination or the overthrow of
government should be transported.
In such a community the anarchist
could carry out his theories of living
without a government and the world
would be rid of his presence.
Senator icComas said:
"Within seven years Minister Car
not. Prime Minister Canovas del Caa
tllleo, the empress of Austria, King
Humbert and President McKlnley have
been foully assassinated by anarchists.
Our homes are still under the shadow
of national grief for our best beloved
president and the heart of the world
is with us in our sorrow. It Is humili
ating to consider how Impotent are
our federal laws to punish this fear
ful crime.
"These tragic assassinations In dif
ferent countries, widely separated, In
so short a time, show that this hideous
crime of anarchy Is increasing. To
abnormal minds, possessed with the
Impulse to homicide, envy and vanity
give a peculiar fascination to the Idea
of the assassination of a king or a
president.
"Congress must legislate against this
new peril with courage, with firmness,
but also with conservatism and pru
dence. The constitution permits con
gress to enact a law to punish such
crimes against the very existence of
the government the constitution or
dained." CHAEFEE CLOSES THE PORTS
Intends to Shot Off Supplies Where In
surgents Are Active.
MANIIjA, Dec. C General Chaffee
ha3 issued orders for the closing ol
all ports In the Laguna and Hatangas
provinces. The quartermasters there
will cease paying rents to the Fili
pinos for buildings used for military
purposes, aa it is known that a large
proportion of the money finds Its way
to the Insurgents In the way of con
tributions and General Chaffee Intends
that no more government funds shall
find their way into the hands of the
enemy. The reason for closing the
ports Is that too many supplies are
found to be getting into the posses
sion of the Insurgents. General Chaf
fee Intends giving General Hell, com
manding the troops In the Hatangas
province, every assistance be may re

Cattle There was a very light run of
cattle, and as the demand on the part
of packers was lllx-r.il the market ruled
active and hither nil around on anything
at all good. The limited ofT'-rlngs of corn-f.-l
steer, brought buyer nut early and
there was lively competition, particularly
for the better grades. The genera! mar
ket could safely be quoted strong to
dime higher, and In a good many case
sales were made that looked a good deal
higher. Allhough the bulk of the offer
ings consisted of butcher stock, the cow
market was active and higher. The bet
ter grades were easily strong to a dime
higher. The medium grades and canners
-illil lint phnw rrn- h ehange, but still tney

good, strong prices whtre the quality
was at all good. Veal calves and stags
could be quoted strong. There were only
a few stocker and feeders on the mar
ket, no that sellers had no difficulty in
getting good, steady prices for anvthing
at nit desirable. The common kinds,
though, were neglected, the same
usual. There were very few westerns In
the yards, but It Is safe to quote beef
steers of good quality strong and active.
Hogs There was not a veiy heavy nm
of hogs, und as other markets were
quoted higher prices Improved ut this
point. The market oned llilSc higher
with the prime heavyweights selling from

largely from K0S to K10. butcher
weights from $1 00 to Vi.it. and the light
hogs from pi.W down. If was not an

Sheep There were only a few cars of
sheep and lambs on sale and a good pro
portion of what did arrive were feeders.
An-thlng In the? way of mutton grades
sold freely at steady to strong prices, as
the demand on the part of puckers was

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The Chilian

whole boundary question, but nothing

solution as at the beginning.
