As the opposition seem willing to mako

of Ohio are not likely to lack full in

While it is unquestionably truo, as

tho Phllippinolcommission, to proceed
to Washington at onoe, was to onabjb
tho commission, with tho exception of
Gen. Otis to assemblo at wasuwgion
and prepare a report before congress
moots, thero is another, and many con
sider a more important object, in get

report says that a Canadian company
oxpects to put a compressed peat fuel
on tho market shortly, which is in
some respects superior to coal and
which has almost as much heating

Tho administration hns proparcd
to make tho Ohio campaign ono of

Mr. McLean is a strong candidate, and
that tho president cannot afford to

Wilson will stump Ohio, and aek an

the squabble between tho little South
African government and Great Britain.
Tho cause of this fooling of conthlonce
in peace, according to a Londouor,
now in Washington, is the belief that
Queen Victoria has fully made up her
