Washington, March 7.-Soon aftar the
•enate convened today Mr. Sullivan oi
Mississippi offered a reeolntion that
the Fhilippina islands are the rightful
property, honorably acquired, of the
United States; and that “while the
misguided Filipinos oontinne the pres
ent war brought on by them, against
the rightful authority of the United
States, so long as a single gnn in their
hands is trained npon onr flag, no ex
pression of intention as to the fntnre

course of the United States with re
spect to them should be made by the
United States senate.”
Mr. Sullivan asked that the resolu
tion lie on the table until he ahonld
call it up.
Mr. Mason of Illinois then gave no
tice that tomorrow after the morning
hour he would enter a motion that the
committee on foreign relatione be die-
charged from further consideration ol
hie resolution expressive of the senate’s
sympathy for the Boere in their strag
gle with Great Britain. He had intro
duced the reeolntion on Deo. 6.
'I have no intention of violating the
raise of the senate,’’laid Mr. Mason,
bnt it is clearly the intention of the
committee on foreign relatione to take
no notion in regard to the reeolntion
and;l wane it brought into the eenate
and placed on the calendar."
Tha senate committee on foreign re
latione authorized the reporting of an
amendment to the diplomatic appropria
tion bill anpropriating 120,000 to be
paid to ex-Queen Lilionkalani and pro
viding for an annnal donation of $10,<

Washington, March 6.—Naval offi
cers have been astounded this week to
learn that they may have no rights at
Dry Tortugas, where a tom of over
$500,000 has been expended in the last
year in establishing a coaling station
and rendezvons commanding the south
ern and gnlf coast at the West Indies
and where there is now being rapidly
prosecuted the establishment of what is
regarded as the most strategic base be
tween the Oneaapeake and Central
America.
At Tortngas the army had erected
the most formidable fortification* south
of Monroe, bnt the station was deamed
insalubrious and savers! years ago was
turned over to the quarantine service.
When Cervera’s fleet left Spain the
president promptly had Fort Jefferson,
at Tortngae, garrisoned to hold as a
naval base, thereby enabling the block
ade of the northern shore ot Cuba to be
maintained.
Since that time the naval contrac
tors bavp been continually engaged in
completing the great station, whloh

London, March 5.—A special to The
Times from Lonrenzo Marqnes, dated
Sunday, Feb. X, says persistent reports
continue that the Transvaal repnblio
has opened negotiations looking to the
■eenring of peaoe.
On the other hand, it is asserted the
Boers will make a stand at Glsncoe and
Laign’a Nek and that in the meantime
intrenohments at Pretoria are being ex
tended in anticipation of a siege.
A conference between the Boer presi
dents and the general commanding the
Boers in northern Natal was hurriedly
arranged on receipt of the news of Gen-
oral Cronjt’s surrender. Until Thurs
day night tile confirmation of the sur
render was withheld. President Kro
ger sent a fervid religions appeal, with
orders that it should be read by all the
offioers to the burghers, urging them to
■land fast and strive in the name of the
Lord, for, nnless they had faith in him,
cowardioe would set in and their posi
tion wonld be hopeless the moment they
turned their backs on the enemy.
Their past victories, he deolared,
showed that the Lord was on their tide.
The president beteeched the burghers
not to bring dsstrnotton npon their
progeny.
Continuing, the special says that a
high authority in Bloemfontein deolareo
that in the event of a repulse of the
Free State forces, the latter will retire
towards the Transvaal and nnite with
their brethreq there, maintaining the
straggle to the last
STEYN TO SUGGEST PEACE.
MRS. ANDERSON'S BABY.
You couldr.'t convince Mrs. Anderson
that Cupid ever wus as pretty as her
little girl.
Mrs. H. C. Anderson is well known in
South Britain, Conn., where she lives.
She is very enthusiastic about Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription although no more
so than thousands of other women who
have been simi
larly benefited.
She writes:
“During the
fint month of the

tlon I could not

and lived ju*t about two months. This last babv
is a* plump and healthy as any mother could
wish. .She 1* about three weeks old now and is
gaining in flesh every day.'*
Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to
or succeeding the baby's birth are invited
to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce, by letter, abso
lutely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by Dr. Pierce, has caused imita-
' :ors to,spring up, who make offers of free
advice, which they are not competent to
give, not being physicians. When you
are invited to “write to a woman," ask
the simple question, “ Is this woman a
physician?” You will find that she Is
not, and does not, and dares not claim
to be, a physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.
Prospective mothers should send for

Compromise Talked Of.
New York, March 7.—Charles M.
Schwab, president of the Carnegie Steal
company, left tbit city for Pittsburg
last evening. He came hera to consult
Andrew Carnegie about the litigation
in which he and the Carnegie company
are involved as a reenlt of the tails
brought by H. O. Friok and others.
Thty were in consultation the greater
part of yeatarday. Neither wonld talk
abont the conference. The time al
lowed for Mr. Carnegie and the Carne
gie company to file an anewer in the
enlte in question will soon expire and it
is bellaved that the conference was in
relation to the wording and general
tone of this answer. It was persist,
ently rumored that tha tronblaa wonld
be compromised and the salts discon
tinued.

Stgwart, the negro who killed bis wife
near here, bad been married only three

London, Maroh 6.—One of the remit*
of the pacification in Dutch districts of
Cape Colony may be the pnrohase of a
large number of horses. Bnt tho re
mounts sent down nr'o believed to be
utterly inadequate. General Kitchener
can work ont the transport problem to
Pretoria if anybody oan do it Letters
received from officers at Cape Town de-
cribe General Roberts as the flower of
oonrtesy and Kitchener as a man of
business.
It is the tireless, exacting energy of
Kitchener that it potting England’s
work tbrongh in South Africa.
There are no farther details of the
conference of President! Kroger and
Steyn respecting peace negotiations.
South Africans in London have never
ceased to regard Steyn as more directly
responsible than Kroger for the out
break of the war, and they now assert
that he will be the first to suggest the
retirement from a hopeless conflict.
Steyn is an anxious ecbeiner, wlthont
Kroger’s etnrdy qualities and inflexible
will.
South African! here are confident
that tbs Free State forces will not cross
the Vaal river for the defense of the
Sooth African republic, bnt will with

The Japanese common people have a
