' 1900. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, D. C, April. 2, 1900. Secretary Root says the writ ten instructions ' to the new Philippine Commission, the mem bers of which will sail from- San Francisco for Manila on the 15th Inst, will not be made public at iresent Doubtless, tbo.really m porta tit ; instructions to ' the Commission were given verbally and will not be made public at all until they have been carried out. At least, that is the opinion of those who usually know what is going on. The House doesn't believe that this government should reim burse the British Cable Company for expenses incurred in repair ing the cable to Manila, which was cut by Dewey, and refused to pased a bill appropriating money for that purpose. As a matter of fact, instead of being injured by Dewey's act, the British Cable Company has made many thousands of dollars, .paid by this government as cable tolls on account of the American occu pation of Manila. This is the way the Kentucky mix-up strikes a well-known Kentuckian Mr. C. B Earley, of Louisville now in Washington: "The trouble in Kentucky will be a nuisance for a long time to come. It will show in all the political movements leading up to the Fall elections. There will not be a district or county con vention which will be free of it There will be street fights and convention rows, which the newspapers will report as riots. There will be shooting scrapes which will be called insurrec tions. In fact, it will bad and d)sgraceful until the .people, of the State get sick and tired of it all. To tell the truth, they are tired of it now. But there is no way of ending the trouble. Like an epidemic, it must run its course." Senators are disposed to poke fun at the charge of Speaker Henderson that there are cow ards in the Senate. For instance, Senator Depew said of it: "The Speaker has not hurt my feelings by declaring that there are cow ards in the . Senate.. No. he hasn't hurt my feelings a bit, even though I do not concede that there are cowards in the Senate, but he does sort of wrench my sensibilities when he intimates that the cowardice he -speaks of in the Senate, is due to the trusts. As for myself, Mr. Speaker Henderson is hereby in formed that I am not a bit afraid of the trusts. No, sir-ree! Tbe trusts can't frighten me. I know too much about them. I am a director in , seventy-twojcom panies that are on terms of inti macy with the octopus. Yes, sir-ree, I am!" - Secretary Gage has made a ver bal recommendation to the Presi dent that a special message be sent to , Congress, , suggesting legislation for a material reduc tion in the internal revenue war taxes. Figures given by Secre tary Gage show that the surplus of revenue over expenditures for the current fiscal year already exceeds $53,000,000 and is likely to be largely added to during the last quarter. ' Mr. Gage thinks the war taxes could be safely cut in balf, and the President has the matter under consideration. . Ta Cur a CaM la om ey. Take Caxativi Bboxo "Quinixi Tablets.
