From our Refrnlar Correspondent. On the advice of Senator Hour, who; is' too astute a polit.Han not to appreciate the baneful effect ononis par ty of-tbe continued suppres sion of facts and figures bj the War Department, Secre tary Hoot has mad.) public the cost of the Philippine wnr no to the fiist of Mnv.

IJ thuksday, july which is interesting, if truf , is circulating at tbe Capitol. It is to the effect that Dele gate Flynn was approached by Senator Beveridge, chair man of the committee on ter ritories, with ft proposition to change the name of Okla homa to . " Beveridge" and that Mr. Flinn's refusal to do so resulted in the defeat of the measure in Mr. BeveH idge's committee. On Thursday the House took up the'Philppine bill and an earnest debate is be ing conducted by both sides. It .now appears that tne House will jnsist upon the Senate concurring in the a doptionof the measure re ported by the House commit tee on InRulur affairs. This measure grants a certain form of self government to the Filipinos ami, although imperialistic in its purport, is a shade better than the bill passed by the Senate The House republicans will vigorously fight the adop tion of the silver standard in the isl-inda. According to re publican tenets a gold stan lard is the only proper stan dard for any nation and the adoption of a silverstatidard for the Philippines will be an absolute stullilieation ot re publican dogmn. The anxie ty of the members to adjourn will be in fayor of the Senate conferees but numerous re publican members have as sured me that would not prove sufficient to induce them to yield. Only n dea lock on the bill will prevent adjournment ou July the 3rd. The eflort of the House com mittee on commerce to in crease Jtho period .of unbro ken travel for cattle being shipped by rail, from 28 to 40 hours, and to accomplish which the committee has re ported a bill changing the present law, promises to be stoutly contested by the IIu mane societies of the coun try. Already Mr. C. Snow, President of the Washington Humane Socit?ty, Ins forwur ded to the committee a letter which reads in part as fol lows: "The passage of this bill will be a distinctly inhumane and retrogressivenetto which I hope the American Congress will not commit the Ameri can people. These animals, verfibrat.es like ourselves, have unerring appetites and thirst, and 28 hours, as un dcr the present bill, is far too long, especially und?i trying transportation conditions to make them go without fo d and water. To increase the time to forty . hours will in volve an added torture which if reduced to ititeiltgible c. pression, would shock Ue conscience of the world. How outrageous, mean and cow ardl.v to treat, these noble, irentle beings in this way, on ly because they are votelera, voiceless, defenceless. They give their lives that we may live more abundantly and now an avaricious catile in terest proposes through Con gress, to ad torture to sacri hVe.' &G&61 Qyspcpsaa W-?s w'ut you oat. 3, f o "2 tiucolu at Ucttjsbnrp.
