He mistook them for tramps and ordered them to enter the car. ‘Go to the smoking ear,” said he, ‘and at the next stop leave the train.’ “They entered the venson, car and at revolvers, both flashing in his face.

Aug 5.—In an inter- view published here to-day, United States senator Henry M. pressed the belief that ‘the situation in China demands the assembling of congress.” “The president,” Senator Teller added, “is not justified further than to protect our official representatives in that country When that is done our army must be withdrawn, unless congress st der otherwise. The president cannot | declare war; that can only be done by jan act-of congress, and the president can not legally carry on a war in China without sueh declaration.” Regarding the Philippines the sen- tor said: © “The war will cease in these islands | when we satisfy the people there of what we-intend to self-government. They are anxious |foran opportunity to prove their | fitness to maintain a government of | their own, and no one whois familiar |with their character and acquire- |mentsean doubt their capacity in that respect.
