The following Is Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino people, made public this evening: "I believe I am not in error in pre suming that the unhappy fate to which my adverse fortune has led me is not a surprise to thoss-who have been familiar with the progress of the' mr. Tfc lessons taught with a full meaning and which' have recently cene to my knowledge suggest with irresistible force that a complete ter mination of hostilities and lasting peace are not only desirable, but ab solutely essential to the welfare of the Philippine islands. The Filipinos have never been dismayed-at their weakness, nor have they faltered In following the path pointed out by their fortitude and courage. "The time has come, however. In which they find their advance along this path is to be impeded by an ir resistible force which, while it re strains them, yet enlightens their minds and opens to them another course, presenting them the cause of peace. This cause has been joyfully embraced by the majority of my fellow countrymen, who have already united around the glorious sovereign banner of the United States. In this banner they repose their trust and belief that under its protection the Filipino peo ple will attain all those promised lib erties which they are beginning to en Joy. "The country, has declared unmis takably in favor of peace. So be it. There has been enough blood, enough tears and enough desolation. This wish cannot be ignored by the men still In arms if they are animated by a desire to serve our noble people, which has thus clearly manifested its will. So do I respect this will, now that it is known to me. "After mature deliberation I reso lutely proclaim to the world that I cannot refuse to heed the voice of a people longing for peace nor the la mentations .of thousands of families yearning to see their dear ones en joying the liberty' and the promised generosity of the great American na- "By acknowledging and accepting the sovereignty of the United States throughout the Philippine archipelago, as I now do, and without any reserva tion whatsoever. I believe that I am serving thee, my beloved t country. May happiness be thine." To signaliez this important step in the pacification of the country Gen eral MacArtbur orders the release, on swearing allegiance to the United States, of 1,000 insurgent prisoners.

J. P. Morgan Co., In behalf of the syndicate, will offer to buy $50,000,000 of the bonds at par. Mr. Perkins says that personally he is in favor of ac cepting the proposition." NEW YORK, April 19, The Journal of Commerce tomorrow will say: "It was learned from reliable authority last (Thursday) evening that the de tails for the purchase of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern have been completed.

It will comprise an issue of 1220.000.000. and will be in the pro portion of $200 in bonds for each $100 in stock, amounting, in effect to a guaranty of 8 per cent on the stock.

C, April lv The written opinion of Justice Gray of the United States supreme court on the divorce cases passed on by the court last Monday became avail able today, thus affording 'the first opportunity for inspection of Justice Gray's language. Of the three cases decided only one, that of Streltwolf against Streltwolf, dealt with a Da kota, case. In that case the husband, a resident of Brunswick. N. J., had visited North Dakota for three weeks in May. 1897. and In August of that year returned and instituted his suit for divorce three days after his ar rival the second time, never having mentioned his May visit tb any of his friends or relatives in the east The dcelsion in this case, aside front the recital of the history of it, was very brief, being in the following words: "The law of North Dakota requires a domicile in good faith of the libel lant for ninety days as a prerequisite to jurisdiction of a case of divorce. The facts in evidence warranted and indeed required the finding that the husband had no bona fide domicile in the state of Nroth Dakota when he obtained a divorce there and It is not pretended that the wife had an inde pendent domicile in North Dakota or was ever In that state. The court of that state, therefore, had no jurisdic tion," WOULD ROW TO TRE CZAR. Prl.c. Taaa aad G.a.ral Taa Fa Man Boady to Yl.ld to Butta. LONDON. April 19.

Superintendent Howell, of the Scranton, Pa., schools, has proposed a plan for Instructing the pupils as to the manner In which a president ol I the United States is elected. The dem onstration is to De a practical one. Each school is to constitute a conven tion and each pupil is to write an es say giving the history of a presidential campaign from the beginning to the inauguration. After these are com pleted a platform committee will be appointed in each school to prepare resolutions or declarations of party principles after which the election will be held, each pupil voting for his candidate for president The election is expected to take place in March. Many advantages are to be had' from practice of this kind and there Is no reason why it should be confined to presidential elections. Begaa as a Baek.tea.

"I cannot speak too highly of Dodd's Kidney Pills, or of what they have done for me," said Mrs. Keys. MMy life was miserable, my back always ached, also my head. I was troubled with Neuralgia In the head and face and suffered extreme pain, but thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills, all those aches and pains have vanished like the morning dew, and it now seems that life Is worth living. I con sider Dodd's Kidney Pills a God-send to suffering humanity. They may rightly be named the Elixir of Touth. "While speaking of my own case and the wonderful benefit I have re ceived, I might also add, that my mother, who la now an old lady of 74 years and who lives with me, has been troubled more or less, with aches aad pains, ss is natural with one of her advanced age. When she saw what Dodd's Kidney Pills had done for me, she commenced to use them her self, and she says that they have done her more good than any other medi cine she has ever tried. "This testimony Is given in the hope that others who may be af llcted as we were, may see. and read it and be benefited by it" What Mrs. Keys states in her letter can be verified by reference to any of her many friends in this neighbor hood. Dodd's Kidney Pills have al ready a wonderful reputation in Todd County. Nothing has ever cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's Kidney Pills. Brat Hart. Ceailan Hoaie.
