Manila. Juno 6.—A dispatch from Can
don, dated Juno 4. sayß MaJ. P. C.
March’s men of the Thirty-third Regi
ment returned to Candon that day by
steamer from Aparri.
A majority of the men are ready for
the hospital. They are thin and weak, hav
ing traveled 250 miles in the mountains,
during which they suffered greatly from
hunger. Of the fifty horses which started
with the battalion, thirteen survived. The
remainder died on the march or fell into
canyons.
The battalion practically collapsed at
Fiat, thirty miles from Maguegarao, as
the result of fevers/and exhaustion.
Eighty-seven of the men were conveyed
from Piat to Muguegarao in bull carts,
and those felling on the way were car
ried in litters by the Igoroettes with the
column.
The officers accompanying Maj. March
were Capts. Henry L. Jenkinson and Ed
ward Davis. Lleuts. Carroll Power and
Prank L. Case and Dr. J. O. Green
walt, assistant surgeon. They say it is all
guess work as to whether Aguinaldo was
shot. Before the Americans struck So gat
the insurgent chief divided his forces into
parties of ten, following different trails.
The officer shot was perhaps Aguinaldo's
secremiy oi adjutant. The report unions
the natives of the region is that Aguinal
do was wounded in the shoulder.
The papers secured show that nearly all
the presidents installed by the Americans
ill Gen. Young’s territory are treacherous
and have been making regular reports to
Aguinaldo of the dispositions and move
ments of the American troops, and they
have been collecting and forwarding taxes.
The captured papers also prove the dis
loyalty of the native telegraph operators,
whom the Americans retained on the Cay
agan Valley line. When Tirona surren
dered the Filipino forces In that section,
these operators professed loyalty and took
the oath of allegiance. But it is now
shown that they had been sending Agui
naldo copies of important telegrams ex
changed between the American officials.
Letters were also found relating to lnrge
contributions forwarded to Aguinaldo from
Spanish and other foreign business men.

grew more and more exciting as it pro
ceeded.
Mr. Grosvenor advised the House to
yield, whereupon Mr. Cannon sarcastical
ly characterized him as a “good quitter.”
Charges and Counter clmrue.H.
Mr. Burton of Ohio indignantly repu
diated the charge in Commander Todd’s
circular that he and others were in a se
cret combine against the navy department
in this controversy.
Mr. Dayton of West Virginia, one of
the naval conferees, deprecaied the dis
play of bad temper indulged in by mem
bers.
Immediately afterward Mr. Dayton, in
wildly excited tones, denounced as false
and untrue the statement that the con
ferees had betrayed their trusts. This
statement, Mr. Foss also denounced in
harsh words. He had stood by instruc
tions to the last vote in conference, and
he would allow no one to question his
honpr and character. He would ask to
be relieved from further duty in conferr
ence.
“If you want to see this bill fail,” he
said, “vote to turn down this conference
report. I shall ask the Speaker to re
lieve me from further duty on the con
ference.”
Mr. Foss then moved to concur in the
report and demanded the previous ques
tion.
Mr. Cannon appealed for ten minutes,
but the House howled him down. He then
cried, “Vote down the previous question!”
as the speaker put the question.
The previous question was voted down,
SO to 329, and the debate was reopened.
On a rising vote the House declined to
concur in the conference report. 83 to 131.
Mr. Cannon moved that the House non
concur in the contested items and send
them back to conference, which was
agreed to.
There was a buzz of surprised comment
as ttye speaker announced an entirely new
set of conferees on behalf of the House-
Cannon Moody and Shofroth—representing
the most determined opposition to the Sen
ate's action.
It was evident that business could not
be to-night, and Mr. Grosvenor
moved an adjournment, but this was
voted* down.
.On motion of Mr. Payne the House, at
10:29 p. m., took a recess until 10 o’clock
to-morrow morning.
ROUTINE) WORK IN THE HOUSE.
Tlie Senate Proposition on Armor
Plate Was Accepted.
Washington, June 6.—When the House
reassembled at 8 o’clock a. m., the confer
ence report on the general deficiency bill
showing a complete disagreement was
agreed to.
Mr. Cannon submitted the conference
report on the sundry civil bill, showing
the item carrying the claims of Nevadi
to be the only one In dispute. The item
the memorial bridge across the Poto
mac river was struck oirt. The provision
as to the state claims was compromised
by an amendment that certain federal
claims against these states would not be
prosecuted.
Mr. Cannon explained that the Senate
added about $5,000,000 to the original $61,-
000,000 of this bill, and that by this report
the Senate yielded about $1.000,>00, and the
House $4,C00,000. Considerable debate fol
lowed on the various items. The confer
ence report was agreed to, but the dis
puted item was sent back fer lurther con
ference. This was to appropriate $162,000
for of Nevada, for extra pay given
Nevada’s soldiers during the Civil War.
At 12:30 p. m. the House recessed until 1
o’clock.
ft.entx an Obstructionist.
On reconvening over a hundred members
with private bills were hustling about
trying to secure recognition, but Mr.
Lentz, of Ohio, had declared that he would
object to unanimous consent for anything
until an order was made to permit the
printing of the Ooeur d’Alene investigation
testimony. None could persuade him to
yield. Figuratively he the House by
the throat. Then anpther recess was taken
until 1:45 p. m.
Then Mr. Lentz withdrew his objection
against several bills < t minor importance.
At 2 o’cloc k another half hour’s recess was
taken. At 2:30 o’clock another minor hill
was passed, and then Mr. Lentz resumed
his objections, the House again came to a
standstill and recessed until 3 o’clock.
When the House reconvened, Mr. Lentz
still blocked the path of private bi\ls. Sev
eral he let pass, and one offered by a
Democratic member he yielded to, but Mr.
Cushman of Washington immediately ob
jected in retaliation for the Democratic
objection to a bill offered.
At 4 o’clock the House again insisted
upon its disagreement to the Senate
amendments to the naval bill relating to
ocean and lake surveys and the abolition
of the sea course for naval cadets.
Armor Plate Igreement.
Mr. Foes then called the attention of
the House to the fact that the Senate,
after making a protracted struggle, had
practically agreed to the House provision
relative to armor plate. (Applause.)
The only change was a change of ver
biage, making it mandatory upon the
Secretary of the Navy, to erect an armor
plate factory in case he cannot contract
for urmor plate at a nominal cost.
“Is not this a complete change in the
policy of the government. In taking the
limit off the price of armor plale?” ask
ed Mr. Kitchin of North Carolina.
“No limit was ever placed upon the
price of armor,” replied Mr. Foss, "un
til 1897, and owing to the action tof Con
gress for several years, the construction
of ships has been tied up.”
Mr. Kitchin assailed the proposition to
give the Secretary of the Navy carte
blanche to pay w’hat price he pleases for
armor plate. ,
The House concurred In the Senate
amendment, 154 to 96. The bill was then
sent back to conference, and the House
took a recess until 8 o'clock.
Lentz Gets In More Work.
When the House reconvened at 8 o’clock
Mr. Cannon, chairman of the Appropri
ation Committee, attempted to .make a
statement relative to appropriations for
this Congress, but Mr. Lentz interposed
an objection. He was obdurate.
A moment later, When the Senate resolu
tion to permit foreign exhibitors at the
Buffalo exposition to bring In laborers 10
install their exhibits was presented Mr.
Cannon got the floor and was proce ding
to make his statement when Mr. [*>ntz
interposed the point of order that tlie
remarks were not germane.
Mr. Cannon frankly stated that his pur
pose was to make the usual statement for
the benefit of (he country and the House.
If the objection was Insisted upon h
would print it in the record. Despue the
appeals of some of his Democratic sss -
elates Mr. I>entz refused to rel nt nrd
Mr. Cannon desisted.
The resolution was adopted, as was a
similar resolution relative to Ihe Toledo
. Northwest Exposition.
Pant >lny Succeed Gates.
New York, June 6.—The Times says:
"Considerable discussion has been
aroused by the anounOement that Max
Pam will become an active member of
the Executive Committee of the Kansas
City 'Southern In place of John W. Gates,
who Is now In Europe. It Is believed by
many that this is 6nly the first step to
ward the permanent retirement of Mr.
Gates from the management of the new
road. Mr. Pam will act until Mr. Gates
yeturns from Europe.

A NATIONAL NEGRO PARTY.
Step* Token in Philadelphia. Look
ing to Organization.
Philadelphia, June 6.—The first steps
looking to the organization of a national
negro party have been taken in this city.
Prominent negroes—bishops, ministers,
editors and lawyers—at a meeting yester
day decided to plade a presidential ticket
,in the field, with negro candidates. The
plan is to organize the party in every state
of the Union and nominate candidates for
state and congressioal offices.
Names mentioned for President include
ex-Judge E. J. Walker of Boston, with
P. B. S. Pinchback, Ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Louisiana, as running mate;
Bishop W. B. Derrick, of New York, with
Prof. Debois as running mate; Bishop
Grant of Illinois with the Rev. J. P.
Sampson as vice president; Bishop Tur,
ner, with Booker T. Washington as vice
president, and Bishop Walters with T. T.
Alla in of Louisiana as vice president.
“The platform,” said H. C. C. Astwood,
after the meeting, “will insist upon the
observance of the constitution of the
United States, the civil and political
rights of every citizen without regard to
race, color or condition; the Monroe doc
trine and opposition to all monopolies,
trusts and rings, and the duty of the gov
ernment to control all public conveyances
such as railroads, etq 1t and all telegraph
and telephone operations, so as not to
burden the people with unneccessary tax
ation.”
It is expected that the convention will
be called to meet in this city in August.
HI SHOP TURNER HAS DOUBTS.
Only One Kind of Xationul Negro
Party That He Favor*.
Atlanta, June 6.—Bishop M. Turner of
the A. M. E. Church, when informed of
the project to form a national negro polit
ical party, expressed doubt as to any prac
tical results from the organization, if it
is intended to be a political party in the
ordinary sense, for the reason that the
negroes compose a small minority of the
voters. He added:
“I am in favor of a national negro party
if it is intended to secure an appropriation
which will enable the negroes to move to
a place where they can be by themselves.
I take no stock in any movement which
does not contemplate the separation of the
races.”

ing;, until 8::$0 tn the evening, declining
to take a recess until their work had been
completed.
The report of the Credentials Commit
tee on the contests in the St. Louis and
Kansas City delegations was a victory fqr

olutions Committee presented Its report,
there whs a fight to strike out the in
dorsement of Gov. Stephens. It lasted for
but a minute or two, and the report was
adopted amid much enthusiasm.

specifying ‘‘l6 to 1.” indorses Bryan, de

nounces as unwise and dangerous in the
extreme the single gold standard bank act
of the present session of Congress, which
places the control of paper circulating
medium in the hands of the national bank
corporations; denounces as one of the mod
trying evils of the day the present ten
dency toward monopoly and trusts and
arraigns the Republican party as guilty
of the grossest hyprocrisy in
the treatment of this question
in that, being in 'ascendency in
Congress, it has steadfastly refused to
pass any of the legislation which has
been proposed to curb the power of trusts;
reiterates adhesion to the Monroe doc
trine; insistsrthnt the government restore
Cuba to the Cubans at the earliest mo
ment possible; favors the construction of
the Nicaragua canal; , the .upbuilding of
the merchant marine; extends carneft
sympathy to the people of the Boer re
publics, and continues:
“With renewed faith In the ability, pa
triotism and courage of the Hon. W. J.
Bryan, believing him to be the greatest
exponent of the principles for which the
Democratic party stands, and satisfied
that power would not dazzle nor wealth
blind him to the duties which he owes the
people,” instructs delegates for Bryan.

sion, were settled in the various com
mittees and the convention to-day was
strikingly harmonious from beginning
end. Except for Lieutenant Governor and
Attorney General the nominations wero
made either on the first ballot or by ac
clamation.
A fight for Governor between the Kern

city attorney of Indianapolis.
The Indiana Platform.

of the United States as an able states
man, a sincere patriot and an honest man,
who can safely be trusted to stand at all
times for the people and against their
foes wt home and abroad.

HOT MORNING BREAK
FAST
Comfort Depend* on Food,
It Is not so easy to arrange a templing
breakfast for a hot morning, but every
one appreciates such a breakfast and en
joys the relief from the heated - blood
caused by a meat and coffee breakfast.
In fact, by skillful selection of food,even
the hottest day can be made quite com
fortable.
Start with fruit of some kind, then a
dish of Grape-Nuts food with cold cream,
one or two soft boiled eggs, a slice of
bread and butter and a cup of cocoa or
Postum Food Coffee. On that son of
meal one will be fully nourished until the
mid-day.
Grape-Nuts , food Is concentrated and
powerful, Imparling to Ihe user a sense
of reserve force snd strength. The strong
man thinks the weather moderate snd
comfortable when the nervous, weak man
thinks It unbearably hot. Grape-Nuts
food Is perfectly cooked at the factory
snd ready for Instanl use, cOol and de
licious, requiring no not stove and cross
cook on a hot morning. “Health Is a mat
ter of wise selection of food and a con
tented mind."

Reasons for the Execs*.
Washington, June 6.—A carefully pre
pared statement on the appropriations of
the session was made to-night by Senator
Allison, chairman of Ihe Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations, and Chairman Can
non of the House Committee on Appro
priations, in accordance with custom. It
says:
"The appropriations made by the first
session of the Fifty-sixth Congress
amount to $709,729,476. Tho sum includes
$131,247,155, estimated to be on account of
or incident to the late war with Spain,
and deducting it, the remaining amount
$578,482,321 represents the ordinary appro
priations made for the support of the gov
ernment during this session.
“After deducting the amounts estimated
to have been appropriated on account of
or Incident to the war with Spain for the
ensuing, the current and the last fiscal
years (which cover the period since the
beginning of the Spanish war) the appro
priations for the five fiscal years—includ.
Ing the two Immediately preceding the
war—are as follows: 1897, $515,845,194; 1898,
$528,735,079; 1899, $532,371,688; 1900, $554,278,866;
1901, $578,482,321.
“This rfhows an npparent excess In the
ordinary appropriations at this session f'ST
the fiscal year 1901 of $49,747,242 over 4he
„mvoorlatlons for the fiscal year 1898,
wWlmmedtately preceded the Spanish
war The chief Increase in ordinary ex
penses for 1901 over those for
Iricroasw* of the navy. $7,081,916, pension*,
13981 350- postal service, exclusive of new
&*sE*St territory. $17,782,900; twelfth
census, $9,000,000; permanent a|>propria
tlons (including $2,000,000 for requirements
of sinking fund an.l $4,000,000 for redemp
tion of national bank notes) $6,634,000. The
total of those increases Is $50,202,820.
Henson* for the Increase*.
"For, the Increase of the navy the excess
over the appropriation of 1898 is necessary
for the construction, armor, armntnanel
and equipment of battleships, cruisers,
gunboats, and torpedo boats heretofore au
thorized, and Is no more than Is absolute
ly necessary toward placing the navy ex
peditiously In Ihe proper condition, uni
versally demanded by the people, for the
national defense.
"Much of tho actual Increase Is attribu
table to the Increased volume of business
In the treasury, war and navy depart
ments incident lo the war with Spain, al
though no plar| of It Is Included In the ta
ble which is submitted of increased ap
propriations on account of tho war.
"Under permanent appropriations, aside
from *6,000,000 for Interest on the war loan.
•wo considerable Increases appear; one
for *4,000,000 for the redemption of circu
lating notes of national, banks out or
funds deposited with Ihe treasury for
that purpose—the transaction being purely
one of bookkeeping, and lrv no way
affecting the public funds. The amount of
estimated redemptions out of bank funds
*r simply *4,000,000 greater than in 1896, and
by process of bookkeeping that amount is
added to the appropriations for 1901.
On Account of the War Lonn.
“An Increase of *2,000,000 Is made in the
amount estimated to meet the require
ments of the- sinking fund for 1901 over tha
sum estimated and Included In rhe ap
propriations for 1898. This increase is cm
account of Ihe Spanish war loan of *201,-
000,000.
"The approximate amounts appropriated
on account of or incident to fhe war with
Spain, appropriated during the two ses
sions of the last Congress, covering the
period lo Ihe cloee of the fiscal year, 1900,
aggregate *482.562,063. Of this whole sum
It Is estimated by the treasury depart
ment that to June 30 Instant, the total ex
penditures will not exceed (392,000.000,
leaving a surplus of *90,000,000 after meet
ing outstanding obligation, to be covered
into the treasury. Thus, for the conduct
of that momentous war, and Its resultant
effects, Congress umply made a|>propria
tions, and the administration has widely
and prudently mude expenditures from

posal.”
