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 ALWAYS KEEP ON HAND f PainKiUevj Thor© is no kind of painx or ache, internal or oxter-4 nal, that Pain-Killer . will t not relieve. j | LOOK OUT FOR IMITATIONS AND SUB-J THE GENUINE BOTTLE * I DEARS THE NAME, $ i PERRY DAVIS A SON. \ 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. In Case of Accident.

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.

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.” Dr. Bull’s Pills for Liver Ills.
