OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
From Our Regular Com spondcnt.)
Washington. Oct. 17, 1901.
While every effoit is being made
o prevent publicity being given to
the fact it is learned that the treas
ury statement for September, which
shows a falling off in our export
trade for that month of over
$9,000,000, as compared with the
corresponding month of last year,
has given the republican leaders a
bad scare and that means to reverse
this condition of affairs are the
chief topic of discussion at the
white house. Senator Frye was
summoned and immediately seized
the opportunity to push his subsidy
bill into presidential favor, al
though, of course, he also discussed
reciprocity treaties as a valuable
means towards increasing the ex*
port trade. The president also
sent word to Senator Lodge that he
would like to see him immediately
..upon his arm al in this country
and accordingly that gentleman
came to Washington before going
to his home in Massachusetts.
Although Senator Frye granted]
an interview 10 the newspaper men j
and talked definitely on the subject i
of his subsidy bill, and mote vag-1
uely on the subjects of reciprocity, |
the Isthmian canal, the revenue j
cuteer service etc., the real object
of his coming to Washington did
not come out. Senator Lodge was
seen by your correspondent, and
practically every other Washington
correspondent, but be refused pos
itively to say anything for publica
tion. There is a decided fear that
the conditions may shape them
selves as they did during the Har
rison administration when from a
period of prosperity things took a
sudden “slump” and resulted in a
democratic victory at the following
presidential election. The next
two years will prove the critical
period in the present administra
tion and everything possible must
be done to promote real oi appar
ent prosperity until the people have
expressed themselves at the polls
in 1904.
It is confidently predicted by
people who ought to know thatth.e
president is most anxious to have
Senator Lodge in the cabinet and
that he would be much relieved if
Secretary Hay would kindly tender
kis resignation, and that is the port
folio that he desires to offer to
Lodge. So confident is the presi
dent that Mr. Hay will tesj n. asl
soon as the isthmian treaty is con ]
eluded, that he has persuaded vir.
Lodge to make no effort to secure
the chairmanship of the committee
on foreign relations which, by right
of seniority, would go to Senator
Cullom and which Senator Lodge
would prefer to everything else ex
cept the portfolio of State. It is
given out that for the present Sen
ator Lodge will retain the chair
manship of the Phillippines com
mittee.
Representative Overstreet, of In
diana was in Washington this week
and says that the president assured
him that his financial bill, which
will make the silver dollar ex
changeable for gold, will receive
executive support. He will there
fore re-introduce the bill early this
session.
A number of congressmen who
have been in Washington during
the Schley court of inquiry, which
is still it} progress, have expressed
the expression that irrcspcctive of
the merits of the Schley-Sampson
controversy, the affair has vievelop
ed existence of a condition of
affairs in the new department which
should be investigated and it is
considered extremely probable that
a congressional inquiry, will thor
oughly overhaul that department,
will be next in order. The only
thing that will prevent it will be
the opinion by the party leaders
that such a course, in view of the
amount of bad government it
would be likely to expese, would
be bad politics.
The republican leaders are great
ly relieved at the decision of Mr.
Roosevelt not to interfere with the
status of the Phillippines for an
indefinite period. At the present
time the Dingley tariff bill is in
force between the United States
and the Phillippines and that quite
suits the protected interests. It
will be the desire of the republi
cans, when any change is made, to
put as high a tariff as possible on

expoit islands and the leaders are
by no means anxious to precipitate
a discussion, which, at this time
would prove productivo of much
feeling as did the Porto Rico tariff.
The retaliatory tariff devised by
Secretary Gage to punish Russia
for legislation believed to be de
rogatory to American sugar inter
ests seem to be a particularly sore
point with the administration and
one concerning the results of which
it is difficult to obtain information,
but it is known that the Republi
cans are most desirous of negoti
ating a reciprocity treaty with
Russia and the subject is one that
will receive a great deal of atten
tion from the President and Sen
ators, who favor him with their
counsel during the next two
months.
Senator Platt has given out the
statement that he believes recip
rocity treaties stand a better chance
in the coming congress than they
ever did before and that he thinks
the French treaty, of which he
says, “some modifications have
been arranged among the senators,’
will pass.
Captain George P. Ahern, Ninth
Infantry, who is at the head of the
j Philippine Bureau of Forestry, and
who is now in Washington, gives
j ine some interesting information
on the forest resources of the Pliil
ippines. He says there are about
! 50,000,000 acres of forest land in
the Islands and much of the timber
is of the more valuable varieties,
quite as good as that of German
forests which yield their govern
ment an annual gross income of
slßl per acre, the cost of supervis
ion being about fifty-five per cent
of the gross receipts. Captain
Ahern believes an equal or greater
income can eventually be derived
from the Philippine forests and
that the expenses can be reduced
to a smaller percentage of the re
ceipts.
Study of War History Urged-
Atlanta Journal.
An effort has just been set afoot
by R. B. Ilaughton, of St. Louis,
commander in chief of the Sons of
Confederate veterans, to have ev
ery camp of the order pursue a sys
tematic course of study concerning
the civil war—in the interest of
impaitiahty and in justice to the
men who wsre the gray.
An official order urging this has
just been teceived by the Atlanta
camp, and will doubtless be acted
upon.
The official course of study will
be as follows:
October, 1901 —The First Battle
of Bull Run
November, 1901 —The Penin
sular Campaign.
December, 1901 —The Battle of
Seven Pines.
January, 1902 —Jackson’s Cam
paign in the Shenandoah.
February, 1902 —The Seven
Days’ Battle Around Richmond.
March, 1902 —The Second Bat
tle of Bull Run.
April 1902 —The Battle of Shiloh
May, 1902 The Vicksburg Cam
paign.
June, 1902 —The Legal Right of
Secede.
July, 1902 —The Moral Right to
Secede.
August, 1902 —The Battle ef
Chickamauga.
September, 1902 —The Surrender
of the Monitor.
The commander in chief declares
in his order that this matter should
have unremitting attention, and
that every southerner should be
acquainted with the fact that the
southern states had a moral and
legal right to secede.
“Special attention.” says the or
der “is also called to the
1 clause in our constitution in re
|gard to securing the writing by
| veterans of their various expe
riences during the war. Nothing
is m:;re interesting ot valuable
than these personal reminiscences,
and camps should do all that they
can to secure such while these
sturdy fighters are still with 11s.

PLANS TO SUPPRESS ANARCHY-
Senator Allison Says Congress
Will Do All In Its Power.
Dubuque, lowa, Sept. 22. —Sen-
ator Allison, being requested to
give his views as to the best meth
ods for suppression of anarchy,
spoke as follows, says a Dubuque
special:
“You ask me how anarchy can
b.‘ suppressed or now greater safe
guards can be provided against
murder committed in its name; all
agree that this should be done to
the extent and limit of lawful
power. I have no doubt congress
and the legislatures of the several
states can do much in this direc
tion, but no one can,without much
study, mark out the lines ot such
legislation. The lawyers of the
country will doubtless, as they
study the question, make valuable
suggestions to congress and the
legislatures, and congress will take
up the question without delay, and
through the judiciary committees
of the two houses will carefully
frame a measure that will, so far
as possible, meet the public de
mand and do whatever can be done
to suppress societies organized for
the overthrow of governments
through assassination and murder
of those in authority.
“They will have the aid of the
learning and wisdom of the legal
profession and the sympathy of all
those who believe that organized
society and government are essen
tial for the preservation of liberty
regulated by law. I do a not feel
prepared to make suggestions now
as to details. These will be care
fully considered by these commit
tees and by tlie'two houses,in pub
lic debate, and their con,sideratio,n
will be aided by suggestians from
the public press of the country and
from the lawyers who give atten
tion to the subject, With all these
aids we must hope that an effective
national statute can be passed.
The. legislatures of the several
states will doubtless also consider
what legislation can be passed by
the state supplemental to and in
aid of the national authority,”
What War Costs-
The following figures which are
presumably from official sources
and compiled by a most careful ex
pert will give, almost at a glance,
what the Spanish war has. up to
date, cost the United States: Tie
combined cost of United States
army and navy maintenance and
increase during the four years pre
ceding the war with Spain was
$328,362,242, and the same estab
lishments during the following
four years down to July 1 last cost
the government $842,193,149. This
is a difference of nearly $514,000,-
000, which fairly represents the
cost of the Spanish and Philippine
wars; and as the war and navy de
partment expense in the past two
years has been some $397,400,000,
compared with $444,600,000 for
the previous two fiscal years cov
ering all phases of the Spanish
war, the Philippine conquest may
be said to have already proved to
be the more costly war ot the two.
All of this, of course, comes out
of the people’s pockets. It’s safe
to say that we are far from the ei and
of these expenses and the com
pensation for these wars is, so far,
a mere nothing. What the future
may bring forth we cannot tell.
But the chances are that no man
living will see any material bene
fit from the Philippine islands, to
offset the enormous expense, and
already numerous interests in this
country, notably sugar and tobacco,
see in prospective free trade with
Cuba only ruin to their industries.
A comparatively few men may
make great fortunes, in Cuba and
the Philippines, by exploitation of
capital, but the majority of our peo
ple have little prospect of remun
eration. However, we seem to be
in for it, and can only hope that a
not remote future will garner a re
ward for our great outlay of money
and blood.
Open Market for Roundlap Bales-
More roundlap bales are being
used in southern mills this season
than ever before. The Massachu
setts Mills at Lindale, Ga., and
the Langley Manufacturing Cos.
and the Graniteville Manufactur
ing Cos. at Augusta, Ga., ha\espun
large quantities of cotton baled by
this process with entire satisfaction.
These bales would be used more
largely in the south but for the
fact that they can be sold more
profitably to foreign spinners, who
will take every roundlap bale
made. In order to demonstrate
the roundlap bale’s advantages,the
American Cotton Cos. is disposed,
on even terms, to give American
spinners the preference. Whether
sold at home or abroad, every bale
that leaves a roundlap press has a
wide and steady market at top
prices. While the American Cot
i- n Cos. is always ready to bay
: cnndlap bales, it does not requ-re
t! at a single l ale be sold to its
cotton department, licenses and
other owners of roundlap bales be
ing free to sell in the open market
to the buyer who will pJy the
most monev. So far from dis
couraging, the company welcomes
the competition of other buyers
for roundlap bales. The farmer
who hauls his seed cotton to a
roundlap gin can sell it on the
spot at the highest market price,
or he can hold it with the assur
ance that his roundlap. bales will
always bring their full value. The
American Cotton Cos. makes lib
eral advances on “held” roundlap
bales,
AGUINALDO’S BACK TRACK-
Prefers to Remain a Prisoner While
One Compatriot in Jail.’
The party of senators and repre
sentatives that has been visiting
the Philippine islands left for home
on board the United States trans
port Sheridan.
Before leaving the members of
the party had an interview with
Aguinaldo, who, how r ever. was
reticent. He said the original out
break of hostilities was a surprise
to him, and that his efforts to main
tain the truce were unavailing.
Aguinaldo has written to a law
yer who is trying to obtain a w rit
of habeas corpus in his behalf, ob
jecting to the course taken by the
lawyer, saying that he preferred to
remain a prisoner while there w r as
one compatriot languishing in jail
“suffering for the Filipino cause
and an infinity of Filipinos are de
prived of the liberty which they
are anxious to obtain.”
The civil and military author
ities are having Sixto Lopez close
ly watched at Hong Kong, as they
consider his arrival there to be a
source of danger.
The Philippine commission has
passed an act prohibiting any sus
pect from landing unless he takes
the oath of allegiance, the penalty
for breaking it being two years
imprisonment for perjury.
The typhoon which has just
swept over Manila, w r as the worst
experienced in twenty years.
Much damage was done to the
smaller shipping and many natiyes
lost their lives.
Brain Work Hareiy Kills-
Professor William Matthews
writing in the Saturday Evening
Post on the matter of brain work
and its effects, says people rarely
die from the result of being over
worked. mentally. He says:
“So untrue is it that college stu
dents break down from the stress
of study on the brain that, other
things being equal, the hardest
students enjoy the best health.
“Where one young man. if any,
ruins his health by wrestling with
mathematical and psychological
problems, or with the enigmas of
Greek and Latin syntax, bad hab
its, the strain and excitement of
athletic contests cigars, wine
drinking and other forms of dissi
pation, and heavy eating at late
hours, undermine the health of
hundreds. The two little fingers
of dissipation are often heavier
than the loins of Euclid. Profes
sor Pierce, of Harvard, demon
strated this some forty years ago
by tables of longevity,which show
ed that the greatest mortality for
the first ten years after graduation
is found among those who lagged
behind in scholarship while in col
lege.”
