MANILA. June 3.—The United States Philippine commission last night gave one of the most brilliant balls Manila has ever seen. It was one of a series of entertainments in tended to foster friendship between the Americans and the natives. The com mission has the handsomest residence in Manila, overlooking the harbor. The grounds surrounding it were Illumin ated, while the house itself was decor ated with the American colors. The newly appointed judges, General Otis, a number of other American officers and many wealthy natives were pres ent. There was a display of gorgeous native toilets and many Jewels were worn and the array of handsome wo men surprised the Americans. There was a long program of American and Filipino dances, followed by the ren dering of several instrumental selec tions. closing with “The Star Spangled Banner.” United States Senator Albert J. Bev eridge of Indiana, who came to the Philippines some time ago, has made a fortnight's trip in the southern is lands, visiting Iloilo, Negros and Cebu. During his tour he talked with the chief of Jolo, who has 2,000 fighting men under his command and who pro fesses friendship for America, which friendship he hinted might bestrength ened by the continuance of the annual (subsidy of $12,000 formerly paid by the Spaniards. Senator Beveridge will leave here on Saturday. He intends to travel In China. General Smith has punished the in surgents at Escalante Island of Ne irros, for the murder of Captain Tilley of the signal corps, who was fired upon by natives under a flag of truce and cut off from rejoining his companions on board the cable ship from which he landed. General Smith burned the town and killed a number of bands of insurgents whom he found In the neighborhood. Three members of the South Da kota regiment were wounded at. San Fernando in the encounter between insurgents and American outposts. PROGRESS IS SLOW BIT SIRF. Shiirmann'i Kepoit of l’« arc Negotiation* I* Favornlile WASHINGTON, June T —M e con tingent of the war department which Is in favor of quick action and a speedy end to the oriental caropnign even at a large expenditure la chafing at delay The utindr.istration ad vie-a from Prof Schurmann of the Philippine commis sion have been uniformly optimistic and it is understood that further ad vices of the same tenor were received today. It is said there is no difficulty in putting into Manila any number of troops this government may elect to send. The war department h->s a large and well equipped fleet of trans ports, both in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Several of these are already un the way to Manila with regulars and can he promptly returned and sent with fresh forces if necessary. The prospect now is, however, that the ac tive campaign in Luzon is finicheu till .the end of ihc miny season. 'Coincident with the withdrawal of the volunteer troops in the Philippines Brigadier Generals Hale, Smith and Funston will be relieved from further duty in that country and ordered home for muster out. It was to meet this prospective reduction in the number of general officers serving In the Phil ippines that Brigadier Generals Bates, Grant, Young and Schwan were order ed to that country.

Hopkin* Withdraw* from Speakership Contest In lownn'e Favor CHICAGO, June 3.—Congressman A. J. Hopkins this afternoon withdrew from the national speakership contest in favor of Colonel D. B. Henderson of Iowa. Nine of the fourteen con gressmen in the Illinois delegation were present at the general round-up meeting held in the Grand Pacific hotel this afternoon. After four hours' dis cussion behind closed doors it was decided to withdraw Mr. Hopkins' name and support Colonel Henderson. The conference was perfectly har monious. Mr. Hopkins made the fol lowing statement: “I have had a full conference with the Illinois republican delegation in congress today and the situation of the speakership contest was fully dis cussed, Including the action of our neighboring states in declaring for Colonel Henderson of Iowa. 1 My colleagues and I recognize the great responsibilities devolving upon the Fifty-sixth congress and the neces sity of perfect harmony in the repub lican party. To further prolong my candidacy, whether successful or un successful, it is thought might result in embarrassment to the successful candidate in the proper administration of his great office. “Believing as I do that my retire ment from the speakership race at this time will simplify the situation and conduce to harmony in the party with consequent best results to the whole country, I have, with the ap proval of the Illinois delegation, de cided to withdraw from the speaker ship contest. “After my withdrawal and further conference by the delegation it was decided to support Colonel Henderson's candidacy for the speakership, in which action I fully concur. “My withdrawal and the subsequent action of the Illinois delegation were hail without any consultation with Colonel Henderson or any of his sup porters and without his or their knowledge.” At the conclusion of the conference Mr. Hopkins sent the following tele gram to Colonel Henderson at Du buque. Ia.: “I have decided to with draw from the speakership contest and • he Illinois delegation has determined to support your candidacy. I wish yoi every success.” Sherman Mill In the Karr, SYRACUSE, N. Y.. June 3.—The Post-Standard will tomorrow print the following signed statement from Representative Sherman. UTICA. N. Y., June 2., 1899.—An swering your request for a statement J in reference to the speakership contest, accompanied by your statement that Mr. Hopkins of Illinois had withdrawn in favor of Mr. Henderson and that the Illinois delegation had decided to vote as a unit for Mr. Henderson, 1 have only to say that, assuming both state ments to be correct and that the entire Illinois delegation had decided to fol low Mr. Hopkins to Mr. Henderson (and both statements are only as sumed). also that Mr. Henderson has the entire Wisconsin and Indiana dele gations, also certain support in other state, Kansas, Dakota and elsewhere, ' he is still over twenty votes short of a majority of the republican member ship of the Fifty-sixth congress. Unless a current report with refer- 1 cnee to Ohio is corrert, I have not j lost the support of a single member upon whom I counted. Mr. Henderson is not yet selected as the republican choice for speaker. So far as I am concerned. I have striven to eliminate sectionalism from the friendly contest. Whoever is chos en speaker it will be unfortunate if the selection be based upon sectional lines, or be, even remotely, the result j of any promises or deals. I am cer- ; i talnly still a candidate. I simply state broadly that I am in accord with my i party and with the administration. JAMES S. SHERMAN. VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT NEEDED. — Cabinet Deride* There !» No Present De •nami ror Surh * Call. WASHINGTON, June 3.—The cabi net at its meeting today decided that there was no present necessity for the enlistment of volunteers. Tin* situation was gone over at the cabinet meeting very fully before th's conclusion was reached. The presi dent stands ready at uny time it may appear necessary to authorize the on llstint tit of tlie volunteers should more men be deemed necessary, although hoping thut such a contingency may not arise General Otia is to tie given the 30,000 men for whom he asked. The additional 3,000 or 6,000 troops to make up the 30.000 are to be taken from the regulars now serving In Porto Uico, Cuba and this country.

June 2.—Replying to the Inquiries of the secretary of war General Otis telegraphs that he is still of the opinion that 30,000 troops will be necessary for the effective control of the Philippines. Secretary Alger took General Otis’ cablegram to the president and after a conference with him stated that the text of the dispatch would not be made public, as it contained other matters besides an answer to his inquiry of yes terday. “It reaffirms General Otis’ estimate made some time ago.” said the secre tary. “that 30.000 men would be suffi cient to cope with the situation. As I stated yesterday the regulars now on the way or under orders to go to the Philippines will give General Otis about 24.000 or 25,000 men after the withdrawal of the volunteers.’’ “Where will the additional 5.000 or 6.000 men for whom General Otis asks come from?” the secretary was ask ed. "That has not been definitely deter mined as yet,” he replied. "We may lie able to take the additional regulars now located in this country, Cuba and Porto Rico, or it may be found advisa ble to muster in volunteers.” “In case it is decided to call for volunteers will the call only be for the 5.000 or 6,000 men necessary to bring General Otis' total up to 30,000?” “If volunteers are called for,” replied the bpi retary, "the call will proba bly be for 10,000 men.” ARNY CANTEEN DENOUNCED.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.—The fea ture of today's session of the general assembly of the United Presbyterian church was the report of the committee of reform. After discussing Sunday desecration the report considered the temperance quest.on, and a resolution was adopted designating November 4 as a Sunday on which the ministers should preach on temperance. Before presenting his memorial to be submit ted to President McKinley opposing the army canteen Judge J. M. McCul loch of Iowa declared that Attorney General Griggs’ interpretation cf that law was an insult to the profession ot law in America and that his decision was the most outrageous one ever sub mitted since the Dred Scott decision. The judge also criticised Secretary Alger in scathing words for his atti tude in the matter. The memorial caused a more heated debate than any other question before the assembly. The memorial was finally adopted. A memorial was adopted asking the na tional house of representatives to re fuse to seat Representative-elect Rob erts of Utah. Chicago was decided upon as the next place of meeting. After the appointment of commit tees the assembly adjourned sine die. ONE-HALF WINTER KILLED. ^uiumiiry of Winter W heat Comllti in in the Went.

War Department Compute* Difference Itetween Mueterlng Out at Home and San Francisco. WASHINGTON, June 1.—Secretary Alger haa caused the quartermaster general to make a careful computation j of the mileage which the Philippine volunteers from each state would be entitled to should they be mustered out at San Francisco and has attached to the statement a schedule of the rail road rates that each man would be re quired to pay out of his pocket in the event that he elected to take the travel allowance. The information was embodied In the shape of a message which was cabled today to General Otis, as follows: "Volunteers mustered out at San Francisco will receive travel pay ap proximately as follows: Men of com panies, Colorado, $59 to $95; Idaho, $51 to $81: Iowa. $82 to $130; Kansas, $83 to $131; Montana, $53 to $84: Ne braska. $74 to $117; Nevada, $55 to $87; North Dakota, $86 to $136; Ore gon. $32 to $51; Pennsylvania. $127 to $201; South Dakota. $82 to $130; Ten nessee, $107 to $169; Ctah, $36 to $57; Washington, $39 to $62; Wyoming, $55 to $87; Minnesota, $89 to $142. "Of course the higher sums are graded among the non-commissioned officers. Railroad fares are; San Francisco to St. Louis and Fargo, $43; Chicago, $44; Washington and Phila delphia. $59; New York, $60; SaP, Lake, 24; Lincoln and Topeka. $37; Des Moines, $40; Sioux Falls, $41; Cheyenne and Denver, $35; not includ ing subsistence. Officers, of course, get larger sums. Submit these facts to each regiment and let them determine by vote whether they will be mustered out at San Francisco and take travel pay or in their own states, transported by government.

PARIS, June 2.—The court of cassa tion at noon today resumed hearing the arguments in the application for a revision of the Dreyfus case. The same audience as on the previous days of the hearing was present, but the rest of the Palace of Justice was de serted. Maltre Mornard, counsel for Madame Dreyfus, resumed his speec.i. He re viewed the facts in favor of I>eyfus. Counsel expects to close his speech to day. Maitre Mornard's speech was large ly a refreshing of straw already thoroughly treshed out by M Ballot j de Beaupre and Maneau. He warmly ; eulogized the report of M. Ballot de j Beaupre and applauded the conclus- j Ions arrived at by M. Maneau. Counsel for Mine. Dreyfus concluded with protesting against the idea that even for the sake of the honor of the j army might should dominate over right.. He said the army itself was j thirsting for honor and justice to be ; rendered, and he pointed out that the 1 army could not be dishonored by the 1 acknowledgment that a judicial error had been committed. Counsel then j said: "l am awaiting your verdict, be lieving it will prove to be the blessed dawn wnirh will throw upon our be* ! loved country the light of concord and : truth.” (Applause.) The president of the court then an nounced that sentence would be ueliv ered at one of the approaching sessions of the court. It is generally surmised that this means sentence will bd de livered on Saturday at the opening of the sitting of the court. MARCHAND CAISES A TliMLLT.

Mart-hand's previous at titude and his frequent protestations 1 of loyalty to the government gave no indications of his intention to lash the government -for the evacuation of Fashoda The speech is regarded as seditious. Here Is the incriminating phase, spok en in Reference to the evacuation of Fajhoda: ‘ Seeing what a state of division out* country was in over an affair of which I need not speak, we compehend that Fance could not make the supreme ef- ! fort.

Secretary Hollis of the American Peace commission presents what may prove a handy accomplishment. He Writes equally well with both hands. If rum is to be fought with tea. as is proposed in New York, the tea must be reinforced. Otherwise it will be like fighting Mausers with bows and arrows.

"For me," he adds, “there has always been an eleventh command ment, ‘Thou shalt not sell corn.”' The London Dally Chronicle an nounces that Mrs. Florence Maybrick is likely to be liberated shortly as the result of the pressure brought to bear by Mr. Joseph H.

Eastern and west ern freight men interested in these tar iffs have been in session considering the question for several days. It was the general feeling that present rates are too low und that the truffle ought to bring in more revenue. Charles D. Poston, upon whom the territory of Arizona has just confer red a pension of $25 a month, is known as “The Father of Arizona.” He was the first delegate to congress from that section. He has been a world wide traveler and is full of stories of China sea pirates and how he govern ed his little kingdom of Tubac.

IS-HO—Jesus Triumph* Over tha Uruvs and Rises to Glorious Immortality. 11. “But Mary stood without.” As soon ns she Imd told the disciples her fears she returned to the sepulcher, and reached It probably soon after Peter and John had left for home. "And as she wept she stooped down and looked Into tha sepulcher.” Because she was anxious to ^ see whether shu might not. after (.11, he mistaken about the absence of the body. 12. “And seeth two angels In white." In white raiment. White signifying the purity of their character. Matthew speaks of the angel's raiment being white as snow, and his countenance like lightning. "The one at the head, the other at tho feet.” The idea Is apparently that of sitting and watching the body. 13. "She salth unto them.” While the other women were terrified, Mary seems to have had no fear, so wholly was she taken up with her great desire of finding her Lord. She was ready to brave more heroically than ever all danger If she might only find his corpse.—Jacobus. "They have taken away my Lord.” This has been applied typically to those who have tried to take the divine nature of Jesus from the Scriptures, and left them but an empty tomb. 14. "She turned herself back.” She was outside the cave, looking In, and now she turned away, perhaps hearing footsteps behind her. "And saw Jesus standing, ami knew not that It was Jesus.” Why did she not recognize him at first? (1) She hud her eyes dimmed with tears, and ^ (2) her mind occupied anil excited with other thoughts: besides, (3) she was not at all expecting to see him alive; <4> Ills garments must certainly have been changed, as the soldiers had those he was accustomed to wear; (5) she may not have looked up to hi* face, perhaps hardly looked at all; Mi the long agony on the cross must have made some dif ference In his appearance. 15. "She. supposing Him to be the gar dener." and therefore a servant of Joseph of Arimathea, who owned the tomb, and, of course, friendly. N’o other person would be likely to la? there at so early an hour, unless It were the Roman guard, of which she probably knew nothing. "Ami I will take him away.” See that It Is done. She would take the care and responsibility on herself. lfi. "Jesus salth unto her. Mary,” This word spoken In the old. familiar tones, and showing that Jesus knew who she was, led her Instantly to recognize Him. The voice Is one of the last things to change. I have known ministers, after many years 'absence, to be recognized by the voice, when all things else had changed beyond recognition. "She • • • salth unto him, Rabbont.” Hebrew for my master or teacher. 17. "Jesus salth unto her. Touch Me not.” The verb primarily means to fas ten to; hence It Implies here, not a mere momentary touch, but a clinging to.— M. R. Vincent. The translation "touch Me not" la Inadequate and gives a false impression. The verb (haptesthal) does not mean to "touch” and "handle” with u view to seeing whether his body was real; this Christ not only allowed but enjoined (v. 27: Luke xxlv., 39. comp. I.
