With Koun I nt ITCH I.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 28. A variety
of subjects , Including appropriation
) llls , the war reVentto reduction , ship
subsidy bill and to some extent the
Philippine question' will claim the at
tention of the Benato the coming week.
Monday Mr. Towne will , spqak on
the problems Involved In the govern
ment of the Philippine. There Is
somewhat more than usual Interest in
this speech , not only because of Mr.
TOWIIO'H reputation as an orator and
the fact that it will be his only speech
in the senate on a poltt.cal subject ,
but because of Increased Interest In the
Philippine question moused by the
president's request of the eenntc for
early legislation on this subject. It
docu not appear proballlo that the
Minnesota senator's speech will call
out other speeches Immediately on this
subject because even the senators who
would 111(0 to sec legislation during
this session admit the Impossibility of
taking up the matter seriously until
the report of the Talt commission can
be printed , or SD long as there are
other pressing questions before the
senate. Still , straggling references to
the subject are not Improbable at any
time during the remainder of the ses
sion.
Senator Aldrlch , chairman of the 11-
nanco committee , has given notlco
that the will ask the senate to tuko
up the war revenue bill early In the
week. The understanding Is that ho
will preHH that question to the exclu
sion of all other bills , except appro
priation bills. Being a revenue meas
ure , It will tuko precedence over all
other measures.
There Is no real opposition to the
war revenue bill , but It appears probable -
able that there will ho some discus
sion of it as an easy means of delaying
consideration cf the subsidy bill. If
there Is opportunity the subsidy hill
will bo taken up , but It Is not expected
that anything more dellnito will occur
In this connection during the present
week than the making of speeches.
The week In the house IH likely to bo
monopolized by appropriation bills.
Seven of the fourteen general appro
priation bills have already passed the
house , namely , the executive , legisla
tive and Judiciary , pension , military
academy , Indian , naval , river and har
bors and District of Columbia bills.
Three others , the postoHlco , agricul
ture and fortifications bills , have been
reported to the house , and the remain
ing four , the army , consular and dip
lomatic , sundry civil and general de
ficiency , are still In the committees
having them In charge. The three
reported to the house and the consu
lar and diplomatic , which Is practic
ally completed , probably will be dis
posed of during the week. Whatever
tlmo remains will bo occupied with
the bill to promote the efficiency of
the revenue cutter service , which has
been made a continuing special order ,
not , however , to Interfere with up-
proprlatlon bills.
The postolllco appropriation bill Is
likely to bo made the occasion of
much debate. All the questions rais
ed by the report of Joint postal com
mission are llkoly to bo dragged Into
the arena. Au effort undoubtedly
will bo made to continue tlio appro
priations for pneumatic tube service ,
which wore eliminated from the bill
and there probably will bo the usual
fight on the appropriations for upc-
clnl mall facilities.

Ili-nty C'liBimltleri ,
LONDON , Jan. 28. The war office
has received from the commandcr-ln-
chlcf In South Africa a dispatch
dated Pretoria , January 20 , reporting
numoromi ensagomentH , the followlng-
Ing being the most Important :
"Cunningham was engaged at Mid-
dlcfonteln and Kopperfonteln yester
day with Delnrey'H force. Bablngton ,
while moving north from Ventorsdorp ,
threatened the enemy's Hank , where
upon the Boom retired west. Cun
ningham's casualties were two officers

seven wounded.
"In the engagement nt Llehtenburg ,

ed , with the exception of a major and

"Smlth-Dorrlen had a successful en
gagement of flvo hours , while on the
march from Wonderfonteln to Carolina
lina , where the Boers had lately been

military stores on board wat ! waylaid
and captured at Slljkllpp , near Four
teen Streams , last Friday , but says
the Boers retired on the arrival of
the armored train sent In pursuit.
FAVORS THE SPOONER DILL.
Uurgn I.oglnlatlon fur 1'crmnn *
cut Komi of ( liivi rninslit.
MANILA , Jan. 28. The executive
committee- the federal party has
filed a petition requesting the Philip
pine commission to urge upon Presi
dent McKlnley that the passage of the
Spooner bill by congress ifc an urgent
necessity , as the progress of the archipelago
pelage demands an authority which
can legislate and control the Incor
poration of concerns , regulate mining
claims , dispose of public lamia and
perform other1 functions not vested in
either the military or executive au
thorities.
The petitioners state that the tlmo
is ripe for a general civil government ,
the establishment of which will win
over those favoring the insurrection
while , at the same timp , it will encour
age the natives to subscribe In favor
of the settled government In the Phil
ippines under American sovereignty.
Therefore they urge that the Spooner
bill , which empowers President McKln
ley , in his discretion , to declare the
insurrection ended nnd to establish n
civil government , be passed by the
present congress.

'ST. LOUIS , " Jan. 28. A special to
the Republic from Henrietta , I. T. ,
says :
Deputy United States Marshal Grant
Johnson , who bears the reputation of

dian chief was brought hero immedi
ately and IH being closely guarded by

ture the other leaders of the Insurrec
tion.

Seem * to lie the Hlght Sort.
Voting John D. Hockefeler , In his
address to a Bible class in Tarrytown

there wore a good many things ,
better than money In this world ,

timate companions were men who
worked their way by laundry worker
or doing Janitor's duty. Ono of them

lluakln on the lUcyclc ,
This Is what John Ruskln thought
of the bicycle : "Some tlmo since I
put myself on record as an antagon
ist of the devils own toy , the- bicycle ,
I want to reiterate , with all the em
phasis of strong language , that I- con
demn all manner of bltrl - , and 4- .
C- , Gor 7cycles. . Any contrivance
or invention intended to supersede
the use of human feet on God's ' own
ground Is damnable. Walking , run
ning , leaping nnd dancing are legiti
mate and natural Joys of the body ,
and every attempt to stride on stilts ,
dangle on ropes or wiggle on wheels
is nn affront to the Almighty. You
can t Improve on God's appointed
way of walking by substituting an
improved cart wheel. "

der an assumed named , has- been
fighting with an Irish regiment
against the Boers and who is now
recovering In London from an attack
of enteric fever.
If you have hnd la grippe , a few r-
doses of Garfleld Tea will cleanse the
system of all impurities and hasten
recovery.

Russell Sage on his Long Island es
tate Is a typical Long Island farmer.
He drives about In an old straw hat
and clothes selected for comfort , not

developments of every field for miles
about his home.
