From oar BeguUr Correspondent if nn extra session or Con gress lint) to be railed to pass th uhlp rubsidy hill, hs now seems probable, the' republi cans tire going to make Phil ippihe leginlation the excuse for the extra session.- After leading republican Senators had repeatedly said that there was to be no Philippine legislation by this Congress, and Senator Spooner had a bandoued the bill, whirh by the way gives the President about the same authority over a civil government in the Philippines that he now exercises under his authority asCommaiider-in Chief of onr Military forces, and announc. ed his intention to try to get a Congressional Committee sent to the Philippines.it wan a little sin prising and at first confusing for Mr. MeKinley to send a report from t h e Philippine Commission to CongreKs urging the immedi ate passage of the Spooner bill, reinforcing it with the.in dorsement of Seeretary Root and 'his own. Mr. MKinley kn:ws the absolute iinpossi bility of getting Ihe Plr.lip- pire legislation asked for in the short time left of this ses sbn, and only sent the report and message to Congress to prepare the way of an extra session of the next Congress, in which some of the most ac tire opponents of the ship subsidy bill will not have seats, if it hecomes'necessary Democrats are no.t worry ing over the extra session question. They can stand it if the republicans can, and neither the fear of it. nor the desire lor it, wili influence n single democratic vote, or les sen democratic opposition to a single measure which is op posed on principle. Mr. McKinley has tried to lessm the republican scram ble for Army Commissions in the expanded regular army, by announcing that He intend ed to give thosecommissions to men who had served in the Philippines with the volun teers, so far as possible to do so. The qualification was doubtless added because he knows very well that some of those commissions will be de manded by men whose de mands he dare-not turn down. A big republican row improbable over the distribu tion of these places. Senator Towne, whose suc cessor is expected to present his credentials during the present week, made his fare well Congressional bow in what many of his admirers declare to have been the best speeeh.be ever made. The speech was nominally made on t he following resolution, offered by him: "That jus tree, the public welfare, and the national honor, demand the immediate cessation of hostilities in the Philippine Islands, upon terms recog nizing the independfncp of the Philippine people, and conserving and guaranteeing the interests of the United States," but it was not con fined to the Philippines. It embraced the general politi cal conditions and the out look for immediate future, incidr-ntallv showing how un wise Mr. McKinley and his advisers have been in most of their policies. ' Senator Bacon has beer.gi.v en the honor ot being denig- not ed to rend Washington's farewell address to the Sen ate on Washington's birth day. The Brewers, put the screws on Senator Hannu, and h in turn pur them on the Senate Committee on Finance, and the- result is that the amended bill tor the reduction of War taxes as re ported to the Senate, keeps Hnnna s promise to the brewers in exchanae for their campaign contributions, and reduces the tax on beer to 11.50 a barrel. And it i dollars to brass buttons that the House will agree to this, although when the bill was before the House, an amend ment fixing the tax at those figures was voted down. The House Committee on Banking and Currency has reported two financial bills, but whether either will get acted uppn is not yet certain. The Committee has adopted absolution, making one of them, the Hill bill for estab lishing the parity between thesilvei dollar and gold, a special order in the House with two days -for debate, but that resolution will have to be O. k'd. br the Commit tee on Rules before it beeom es effective. The other meas ure reported istheOverstreet bill for maintaining at all times the party of the stano ard silver dollar with gold Two democratic mi mbers of the Committee, piiggs, of New York, and Thyor, of Mafisachusettes voted with the Republicans in favor of reporting the latter bill. To judge from the talk of Senators, one would not know thatsnch a measure as the Nicaragua Canal bill was pending in the Senate. Since the republican caucus decid ed that the bill should not be calltd up until the British government acted upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, ma ny Senators have regarded the bill as too dead to be talked about. There was no piobability of early action on the part of the British government on the trvaty when there was no excuse for protracted delay, but now when important business connected with the beginning of the reign of a new king, gives an excuse for delay, there is practically no chance of action before the death of this Congress. La Grippe Quickly Cared. ' In the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was taken down with a severe attack ot what is known as La Grippe." says Hi. L. Hewitt, a prominent druggist of Winfield,lll. 4The onlr medicine 1 used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Bemedj. It broke up the cold arid stopped the coughing like magic, and I have never since been troub led with grippe." Chamber lain's Cough Remedy can al ways tie depended upon to break up a vere cold and ward off any threatened at tack of pneumonia. It is plea sant to take too which makes it the most desirableand one of the most popular prepara tioiis in u be for thes ail ments. For sale by Black burn. - SNAPSHOTS OF THE KINO.

' " y The Norfolk and Western Railroad Company will apply to the legislature for permis sion to extend one or - more branches of its road through Carroll and Or arson coon- ties Virginia, across the State line into Alleghany, Ashe and . Watauga counties, west ot tha Blue Rid mountains, , where no railroads have ever been built heretofore, giving : to these three counties con ; nections with the main line , ot the Norfolk and Western. , These extentions will reach a -very fertile agricultural coun try which is rich in deposits of copper and iron and other minerals and which has not been developed heretofore on account of lack of transpor tation taeilitjes. It would con nect these counties with the rich coal fields of Southwest ern Virginia arid West Virgin ia, giving cbeapcoal for min ing and manufacturing pur poses. The Norfolk and Western proposes to build this exten sion and branch roads in con nection -with it at its own ex pense, only asking the State for permission to do this great work of development.
