Baanth Hw Alwan Bought 5 3 K?i if WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent ' indVntiotm of nnothet sotn ffriault on the part of the ad tninistrntitrn are in sight. This time it is the question of an extra session of Con gress. Up to the adjourn ment for theholiday recess, "avoid an extra session-if possible" was the watch word of the administration, and Senator Hanna used the danger of an extra session as a threat to score lepublieans int( line, who weretuking op position to the Ship-Subsidy bill. Now, it is being whis pered In administration cir cles that the republicans would welcome an extra ses sion and be verjf glad if the opposition vould make it ap pear to be forced upon them against their will. Somp eay this is being dom to prevent Senators IVttigrew Allen and Butler currying out their threat to oppose every bill taken up in the Senate as long as the iShip-Sudsidy bill retains the right of way. There may, of course, be Homethjng in that; but there are several other reasons why the administration would welcome an extra session, cs peciully if it can escape there sponsibilitr for seeming to have had any hand in bring ing it about. First, there is the Ship Suhsidy bill. It may be possible to force it thro' at this session, but it looks very doubtful now. In the next Congress, the republi can majority will be increas ed in both House and Senate, not to mention the retire ment of several of this bill's most vigorous opponents from the Senatfe, and most of the new members will be rea dy to fall over themselves to do the bidding of the admin istration, which will mnke its passage much easier. Next, there is a revenue re duction bill. The outside limit namrd by Mr. 'McKin- ler was $30,000,000. It car ries a reduction of more than $40,000,000, and it is no se cret that tbe administration would rather see the bill hung up in some way than passed in its present shape, although Mr. McKinley will sign it, of course, if it passes. Nobody need be surprised to see some parliamentary skill displayed by the administra tion Senators when the bill gets before the Senate, to bamboozle the public. Per haps the republicans will add amendments solely to pro voke a fight on the bill by democratic Senators. Last ly, there is the decision of the Supreme Court in those co lonial eases. If it be an ad verse one, Mr. McKinley will begladto have some other exeuse for calling Congress together to remedy his blun ders. Senator Hnwley has given advance dotice of his. inten tion to antagonize the Ship Subsidy bill with the substi tute for the. House Army Re organization bill, if there is any delay on the part of the Senate in disposingof the lat ter. That is another turn of the legislative yise t h n t is squeezing Hanna, and in this case Mr. McKinle.illnqtbe oh bis side, as he is e yen more anxious for the ortiiy bill to get through than he is for t he Ship Subsidy bill. One ifi to pay campaign debts, the other to keep him a u d his administration out of a deep and dangerous hole. H would like to have both, but if he can only get one he will take the Army bill without a moment's hesitation. After p r e.s 8 cablegrams froni Copenhagen made it use las to further deny, officials acknowledge that the United States is negotiating for the purchase of the Danish West India Islands and that our Minister to Denmark h a d made a final offer of some thing like $3,500,000 for the islands. This offer is ot course subject to the ratification of the treaty providing for the purchase by the Senate, as well as the acceptance o f Denmark. Why, there has been so much official tying a bont this negotiation, which has oeen going on more or ess aotively for two years, is one of those things which it would be difficult to find a sensible'unswer for. Although tnere isn t the at. . . . slightest probability of any formal inquiry or court mar tial being ordered by the IFar Department too much, ex plosive matter lying around loose the charges m a d e a- gainst Col. H. O. S. Heistand Adjutant Gen. on the staff of Gen. Chnffee-tby Miij. E. L. Flawkes-, haye been forward ed to China, where the acens- ed is, for nn answer. The charges are that Col. Heis tand was guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman when he represent edtoMaj. Hawkes, thereby inducing him to invest mon ey which was subsequently lost, thut a combination had been formed by United States officials who were in positions to fix tbe tariff, to control the hwmp output of the Phil ippines. The officials named as having entered this com binatiou were Adjutant Gen eral Corbin, Assistant Secre tary Meiklejohn, Gov. Allen, of Porto Rico, and United States District Judge Boyd. The charge recites that after Hawkes had invested bis money, he was told by Heis tand that the officials named had withdrawn from the com bination to control the hem out-put. A club with the imposing name of the National Repub lican League has been organ ized in Washington, of which about two-thirds are office holders and the majority of the other third would like to be. The written objects of the League are about the same as those of other polit ical clubs, but one of Hie speeches made at tbe organi zation meeting.gaveanother object of the League to be to have influence in determining what. persons shall hold office under the republican admin istration, and to get rid of Jhose democrats who are mow holding office in order that republicans may get the places. All of the members ot this office trust, which is the name the League should bo- known by, are shining lights in the party which pre tends to favor civil service reform. W a t hypocrites these republicans be. Delejrato Wllcx'i Biff mirage. Washington Dispatch. Delegate. Wilcox of Hawaii, has received the largest pay ment on account of mileage that has ever been made to any Senator, Representative or delegate. 3ileage is, allowed for at tendance upon each session of Congress at the rate of 20 cents for each mile by the shortest nsuallr travel ed rourp net ween the home o! the Senator, Representative or delegate and Washington. It is paid for th t r i p in bath directions. The distance from Honolula to Washing ton is estimated at 5,000 miles and Mr. Wilcox has drawn $1,000 for his trip to Washington. He will receive as much more when ho goes home. It he pays all his trav eling expends the trip from Honolula to Washington did probably cost the Hawaiian Delngate about $200. But he may travel on passes if he has harried the methods of mnny of his congressional as sociates, and, in that event, hiejmjleage is all clear prof it. Whether he rides on pass es or pays his fare he is aim to add a considerable net sum to his annual salary of $5,000 per year and he is an object of envy among his as sociates. Millions Spent in. Ih Philippines. Washington Dispatch. More than $5,000,000 Mex icans were expended by the Taft commission ddring Sep tember and October in th Philippines and making pub lic Improvements. Copies of t he orders author izing these expenditures have been received by Secretary Root and have given the au thorities much food f o r thought. The first appropri ation made by the com mis sion wns lor si.uuu.uuu in American money, or $2,000, 000 Mexican, for the con struction ana repair of high ways and bridges in the Is lands. There are items o S'JlS.SUU.iJo American and $729,184.48 Mexican for ex penses incurred for the bene fit of the insular government during the month of October; $27,474 for the construction of a suitable vault for the treasury; $24,850 Mexican for the purchase of a site for a new market in Manila, and $7,000 Mexican to be paic annually to a statition. An examination shows t h a while the receipts are increas ing, they are not large, and that unless the commmis- sion is careful there will be a deficit. APromlnent Chicago Woman Speaks.

Cor respondence Wadesboro Mes senger says: s We have been informed o one of the most inhuman things that ever occurred in a ciyilized country. A negro child got badly burned, by ts clothes catching fire, over near Par is, several days ago. For lack of attention the child, after lingering several days, died. The mother' of he child is a very low andde graded woman and for this reason the negroes round about would not have any thing to do with the woman or her offspring. The moth er s'ld the only pig she had to buy a coffin for the child and, as the people would not render any assistance to wards burying it, the mother carried the body over to a near-by graveyard Inst Sat urday alternoon and laid it down among the graves and went off and left it there. We a refold that the corpse and coffin are still lying there as she left them, awaiting the dawn of the resurrection morn. Has it come to pass that the dead shall bury its dead id the land of theliving? North Carolina Cotton. It is stated that North Car olina claims, or is about to claim, that it is manufactur ing all of the cotton that it produces, and will soon man ufacture more than its home production. Charlotto is the center of manufactures, and with itB neighboring towns is said to haye over a half million spindles in operation A number of new factories have recently been erected, and the cotton manufactur ing industry in North Caroli na is thought to bo in a very satisfactory and progressive conditiou.

Then he read that Dr. King's New Discov ery for Consumption, Coughsand Colds was a guaranteed cure for grip and nil throat and mug troubles, tried it und says: Three bottles cured the whole lamil.y. No other medicine on earth can equal it.',' Only 50c. and $1 at Blackburn's. Trial bottles free. the ivinston free Tress is right when it says that the matter that should be con sidered of greatest import ance by the next legislature is to provide more taxes for the public schools in order that a full four monts term can be had so the boys can be taught to qualify as elec tors before 1908. This must be provided for no matter what else is left undone. Bant Ont of ao Increase of Pension. A Mexican war veteran and prominent editor writes: 'See ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, I am reminded that as a soldier in Mexico in '47 and '48, 1 con tracted Mexican diarrhoea and this remedv has kept me from getting an increase in my pension, for on every re newal a d .se ot it restores me." It is unequalled as a quick cure for diarrhoea and is pleasant and safe to take. For sule by Ua.c.k!w.U- The Presidential Elcotioa Retina. Working Democracy..
