A THE PRESIDENT WATOEFUL
The President Dcsirous of Feeling; His \Vny
in the New Territory with )Iililur,’ Au-
thority Uppcrmost. No Currency Reform
Lngislation in His Programme.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 16.~—Persons
in the president‘s confidence who have
discussed the subject with him within
a few hours, say that his mind is now
pretty well settled against the idea. of
an extra session of congress in March,
1889. p
A: the coming short session be ex—
pects to get all the legislation out of
the way which is immediately neces-
sary, including the appropriation for
carrying the government through the
next fiscal year, and the only thing of
importance which now seems to him
likely to be throWn over is the treaty
ct peace with Spain, which Will have
to be ratified by the Senate before be-
coming operative.
In case that is ready by March next,
an extra. session of the Senate alone
may be called to give it the finishing
touches, but the presence of the House
as far as can be foreseen to-day, will
not be required.
The reasons which impel the presi-
dent to this view may be summed up
in the single statement that he does
not care to have Congress on his hands
at the juncture which will then have
been reached. The only thing in con-
nection with our new colonial depen-
dencies which would call for general
legislation, would be the establishment
of systems of civil government 'there,
and the president feels that this is a
matter in which there is danger from
too great haste. He would rather feel
his way first by keeping the military
authorities uppermost, but under it
building up a modified civil system.
little by little, so that, by the time he
turns the matter over to Congress he
will be able to recommend the legisla-
tion most desired, and to draw upon
actually existing conditions for illus-
trations with which to enforce his ar-
guments.
In other words, if Congress finds a.
fairly satisfactory system of govern
ment already in operation inithe newly
acquired territory, it will be less likely
to rush into foolish experiments.
slidoreover, the-mzflculturnl=interests.
of this countryare "beginning to wake
up toethe idea. um their we lfare is
V'menaced “by the addition of all these
.agrlnulturaixislunds,~nnd’ to put the lat-
ter on a. footing of even competition
with our domestic industries might be
attended with serious results politi-
cally to the party of the administra-
tion.
Of course. as incidental to this pro-
gramme, we must face the fact that
there will be no currency reform legis-
lation during the present presidential
term. .
It was with the view of bringing this
subject to the front that the president
at first considered favorably the idea
of an extra session next spring. ;
If the currency queStion is postponed
to the regular long session, nothing
will be done, for the administration has
no desire to spring the currency ques-
tion upon the country on the eye of a
presidential election.
The theory of the president on this
head is that by the time the first regu—
lar session of the ifty-sixth Congress
meets, the country will be in full tide
of prosperity, and that the agitation
of. the money questionfin view of the
use the Democrats might make of it,
would be unwise, as liable to unsettle
business conditions again.
The outlook is not especially encour-
aging to the sound money Democrats
who united with the Republicans in
186; but the point has been made plain
to the president that since a great
multitude of these men have gone back
to their full party allegiance, and must
not be counted upon for any further
assistance, he must steer his own
cours according to his. best judg-
ment .

New Haven, Conn., Nov. Iii—State
Chemist H. E. Smith has made a, re-
port on the Iwelis at the Niahtic camp,

theory.

VOLUNTEERS AT MANILA.
The President to Recommend an Increase
of Regulars to Take Their Place.
W'ashington, D.‘ C.,9 Nov. Iii—Great
pressure is being brought upon the
war department to have the volunteer
troops now in the Philippines returned
to this country. Nearly every state
that has troops stationed at Manila
has asked through its governor or rep.
rcsentatives in Congress that these
troops be sent home.
This pressure comes through the rel“
ntives and friends of the volunteers,
and is started by the troops, who have
been writing home. -
Some of these letters published in the
state papers at the homes of the 'en—
listed men have created a wave of
sympathy for the volunteers.
Vv'hile they do not recount very great
hardships. except among those. who
are ill, they do Show that the life is
very obnoxious and that the duty of
policing the city of Manila. and re-
maining inactive is very disagreea-
ble.
It is said at the war department that
there is no way of relieving these
troops from duty in the Philippines at
the present time.
The uncertain conditions that exist
in the island of Luzon make it utterly
impossible to get along with a smaller
number than are stationed there at
present.
General Otis has been asked by cable
if troops could be spared, and has re-
plied in the negative.
THE DREYFUS CASE.
The Prisoner to Be Informed to Prepare
His Defence.
Paris, Nov. 16.-—The court of cassa-
tion has informed the Minister of the
Colonies, M. Gullian, that it has de-
cided that‘Dreyfus be informed by
telegraph that the revision proceedings
have begun, and that‘he be instructed
to prepare his defence.
The decision Of the court is very sig-
nificant, as it has hitherto been gen-
erally admitted that no innovation
should be introduced in the .Dreyfus
proceedings. Questions will now be
drafted and posted to Dreyfus, who
will formulate his replies.
The Ministry of the‘ Colonies has re-
ceived a. cable despatch saying that
Dreyfus is in good health.
Kansas Populists Quit.
Topeka. Nov. 16.—Since the result of
the election in Kansas became known
there has been talk among Populist:
of a special session of the legislature
to pass more restrictive railroad legis-
lation, to confirm the appointments to
several state boards and to enact other
iegislntion.
Governor Leedy summoned "to :his
office last night all Populist state-offi-
cials and Populists from every section
of the state to discuss the proposition.
The meeting was secret, but after the
doors were opened it was announced
that there would be no extra, session
and that the Populist administration
would go out of business without at-
tempting any cxtraordi‘nary party leg-
lslation.

HEARD HIS OWN PRAiSEI”
151'. S. Wier Mitchell Had an Interesting
, ’ ' ' Experience in Paris.
A Detroit friendofDr. Weir Mitch-
ell, the eminent author and famous
medical specialist Of Philadelphia,
tells the following .‘story on the doctor
which he says he relates himself,
whenever the occasion permits, with
the keenest relish of its humor.
It appears that some years ago Dr.
Mitchell was troubled with a nervous
ailment, induced, it was thought, by
his unflagging energy in his two
lines of work. His condition became
so serious that he went abroad. think-
ing that a change of scene and a giv-
ing up of his labors might tend to
make a well man of him. In Paris
he suffered an attack of the old
trouble and deemed it well to call up-
on a certain specialist with whose
name ‘he was familiar, as being that
of a man famous on both continents.
He visited the physician purely as
a patient and did not even give him
his name. ~~
During the conversation preliminary
to the examination, the Parisian said:
“I see you are an American."
“Yes," answered Dr. Mitchell, “I am
an American." '
“Which is your home city?” he was
asked, and replied “Philadelphia.”
The French physician held up both
hands and exclaimed: “What, a man
come to me here in Paris to be treat-
ed for a nervous ailment when his
own home is in Philadelphia, where
resides the most fuz‘ncus nerve-special-
ist in the world!”
“To whom do you refer?" asked the
author. .
“Ah, you have never heard? Why,
to Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, of course.”—
Detroit Free Press.
The Catcher caught.
A clergyman addressing those who
go *to church to store about and then
complain that others stare atl them,
lately said:
“When I was a boy we had a school-
master who had Odd ways of catching
idle boys. Says he, one day: ‘Boys,
I must have closer attention to books;
the first one of you that sees another
boy idle I want you to inform me and
I will attend to the case.’ ‘Ah,’
thought I to myself. ‘there’s Joe Sim-
mons, that I don’t like; I’ll watch him,
and if I see him look off his book I’ll
tell on him.’ It. was not long before 1
saw Joe look off his book, and immedi-
ately I informed the master. ‘Indeedf‘
said lmpflmw '{llil you know he was
idle?’ ‘I saw him,’ was the reply.
,‘You did; and were your eyes on your
book when you saw him?’
“I was caught, but I didn't watch
for the boys again."-——Chicago Times-
Herald.
