New York Cit HISTORY REPEATED Arguments Against Louisiana’s Ac- quisition Used Again. JOSIAH QUINCY'S PREDICTION IN 1811 Representative Favors the Reten- tion of the Philippines. PROPER TARIFF POLICY + Representative Tawney of Minnesota, member of the ways and means commit- tee, and one of the brilliant and influential western republicans in the House, enter- tains well-defined views upon the retention of the Philippines by the United States and the tariff policy to be adopted toward the new possessions. In conversation with a Star reporter today, Mr. Tawney talked in- terestingly upon this subject. “The answer to the argument against the permanent occupation of this territory said Mr. Tawney, “is founu in the history of our country, proving the absolute fallacy of every argument made against the an- nexation of territory since the acquisition of Louisiana. There is a remarkable simi- larity between the arguments now ad- vanced to the taking over of the Philip- pines and the objections urged against every portion of territory we have ever ac- quired. “IL was reminded of this fact the other day when I read the prediction of Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, in effect that if we permanently occupy .he Philippines the downfall of the American repubiic will date from the administration of William M .

It will not » trade by any mean judgment, equality my entire absence of preferential dut we a colonies to enter our ports free of duty, in will be neces sary for us to adopt some tem of tariff which will tend to encourage trade with the United States, while at the same time preserving our markets as we do now under our system of protection. I do not believe that the colonies will be of any great value to us for trade purposes for many years to come. Uutimately, I have no doubt we will derive material benefit from trade with them. Our Trade With the Orient. “To my mind the greatest advantage to us in their possession is in the protection to our trade in Asia, Australasia and the orient, and the encouragement which will be afforded to Americans to extend their trade in that quarter of the globe by hav- ing at the very gateway of that comme the physical presence of the sovereignty and power of the United State: “While European nations are endeavor- ing in every possible way to maintain in that part of the world tributary to the Indian and Pacific oceans the physical evi- dence of their power for the encourage- t of their people engaged in trade, it would be a great mistake fur the United States if we did not avail ourselves of this opportunity to secure for the sale of our surplus products, at least west of the M <ippi river, Our share of this market. “It is true that our trade with the Phil- ippines has been comparatively small. In 1897 we exported to those islands goods to the value of $94,597 and imported to the value of $4,383,740. Yet the development that will ultimateiy follow the permaneut sion of those isiands by the United will rapidly increase the sale of our products.” ACE + oe JUBILEE AT ATLANTA. Principal Feature President McK The Southern Raily nish the of the Program— ley's Reception. ay Company will fur- est train ever run in the south, the use of President McKinley and e who will accompany him when he this city for the purpose of attend ing the great peace jubilee at Atlan Upen their arrival at Atlanta the distin- guished party will be met by the execu- tive committee and the ladies of the jubilee committee. There will be break- noon in honor of the ladies of the party at one of the leading hoteis. The President and his party will be for- matly received by Governor Candler and the general assembly at noon, after which Mr. McKinley will hold a public reception in the corridors of the capitol. This will give everybody an opportunity to shake his hand and give him a hearty welcome. A floral parade will take place the first day of the jubilee, and it is expected it will be one of the most beautiful sights of the jubilee. ‘There will be several hundred artistically decorated carts and carriages in line, and it is believed there will be great competition for the prizes that have been offered. This parade will be headed by either Sousa’s Band of New York or the Marine Band of Washington. In the early evening there wili be a recep- tion in honor of the President at the tal City Club and a grand bicycle pa will occur at 8 o'clock, when 1,500 wheel- men on gaily decorated bikes will parade the streets. A grand military and civic pageant will take place the following morning at 11 o'clock. This is expected to be one of the most magnificent pageants ever witnessed in this country. It is estimated that the procession will be several miles in length, and that a large detachment of troops will be in line, notwithstanding the recent or- ders of the War Department countermand- ing former orders for the sending of troops to Atlanta for the winter. The procession will be reviewed by the President and distinguished visitors at the corner of Peachtree street and Ponce de Leon avenue. After the parade passes the President will deliver an address in the au- ditorium at exposition park. The only other speakers that will be heard on this occasion will be Major Collier of Atlanta, and former Governcr Atkinson of Georgia. The festivities will be terminated with a banquet at night at one of the leading hotels, at which a large number of dis- tinguished Americans will be present. There will be covers for 305 people. ‘The arrangements have not yet been com- pleted, but the program as above outlined comprises the principal features, AS feel Sip 1 RK Bias ANNUAL GOOD CHEER --———— The Poor Remembered by Those More Fortunate. a ee THE THANKSGIVING DISTRIBUTION Work of Central and Other Institutions. Union Mission - MANY MADE THANKFUL Following the custom inaugurated four- te2n years and more ago, the Cenfral Union Mission today ministered to the poor .and destitute of Washington in a manner des- tined to make these, worthy but impover- ished people sing Joyous anthems of thanks more heartfelt and 2aynest,than their rich- er brothers and sisyers who enjoy boun- teous plenty all the year reund. Yesterday the mission 'Suthorities dis- tributed 500 beskets ‘filled/to overflowing with Thanksgiving provisigns, a fat little turkey having a place im each one of the ker receptacles. These baskets w given to families known to be deser but who are too poor te provide thems with the luxuries of ‘a real Thanksg' dinne They were given to those who will be made happier and better by such a r membrance. And today these provisio' have found their way onto the tables of families where happfriess holds full sway. homes that would have beén as gloomy as the snowy weather outside but for the work of the mission. {Lunches in, the Chapel. ‘This afternoon homeless men and women are eating Thanksgiving lunches in the chapel of the Central Unfon Mission build- ing, on Louisiana avenu2, and offering up their devout thanks to the Lord for the good cheer found in the wholesome meals furnished them. The dinner is being serv- ed upon table beards attached to the backs of the settees. These tables are wide enough to hold the dinner plate and a cup of coffee and are arranged so as to ac- commodat? the greatest number of diners pessible at one time. The dinner is being served during a recess in the religious ex- ercises of the day, which are conducted in the mission auditorium. The recess began at 2 lock, at which time the poor, ill- clad wanderer made their way to the room, whence savory odors had floated for some time. There they found dinner awaiting them. The dinner was enjoyed to the fullest ex- tent—enjoyed only as those who are genu- incly hungry do enjoy the tempting viands of a Thanksgiving meal. The dinner serv ed consisted of turkey, vegetables, ple doughnuts, apples and coffee. Provisio: has been made for feeding 500 needy per- sons, and it is believed that fully this num- ber will hav> partaken of the mission's hospitality to the poor before the lunch room doors close at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The ladies of the mission are acting in the capacity of waitresses, and as fast as one delegation is fed the tables are cleared to make way for those in waiting. While the men and women are eating thelr lunch the mission choir and orchestra, placed in the chapel balcony, 1s furnishing sacred and timely music. Provisions Sent Out Yesterday. In the baskets sent out yesterday on their mission of cheer were provisions for a small family. Each contained either a turkey or chicken, Irish and sweet pota- toes, turnips, tea, coffee, bread and butter, sugar, hominy, beans and apples—quite an excellent menu. The large number of bas- Kets distributed were the fruit of a labor begun several weeks ago, when the mis- sion forces began their canvass for contri- butions. While engaged in this work the: also secured a list of deserving families, and no family found a place there which was not recommended or known to be vorthy of the remembrance. The Thanksgiving work of the mission has been carried out on a grander scale this year than ever before, and the day promises to be one of the happiest ever celebrated at the philanthropic institution. The mission is keeping open house. Par- lors, auditorium, dormitories and every part of the building will be open to inspec- tion until 9 o'clock tonight. During the day many persons instrested in charitable work called and assistedjin the work of entertaining the vast;,throngs of homeless people who remained; abgut the mission building throughout the day.

Superintendent Shallenberger of the boys’ reform school made today one of pleasant memories for the 225 boys in his charge, despite the fact that the diminutive bliz- zard made outdoor sport impossible. Th afternoon the boys ate a dinner in wh ic the biggest and fattest of turkeys and all the accompanying good things occupied prominent parts, which will be followed this evening by a supper of tea, cake: fruits and other nice, tempting délicacte When not engaged in disposing of the ed bles today the boys indulged in chess, checkers, backgammon and other indoor games, study and work being dispensed with. Had the weather not been so un- favorable, the boys would have been treat- ed to a stereopticon show, but this will be given at some more favorable time. But one boy was reported sick today, and he is expected to be able to eat his Thanks- giving dinner tomorrow. At Various Local Institutions. Despite the fact, as the good sisters ex- plained, that their friends had not remem- defed them so well this year, the seventy ttle ones in St. Vincent’s Female Orphan Asylum, 10th and G_ streets, observed Thanksgiving day by eating at dinner many good things obtainable, including, of course, turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pies and every other usual delicacy. There is a sma!l- er number of children at the asylum at this time than for several years, due to the fact that the sisters in charge have been fortunate in obtaining good homes for many of their little charges. The ages of the children run from six to eleven years. ‘The 126 girls and boys at the Washington City Orphan Asylum, lith and S streets, sat down to a table this afternoon which fairly groaned with the weight of those good things which delight juvenile appe- tites. At 4 o'clock the children will listen to a story which will be told them by Miss Mabel Thurston, and the remainder of the day will be spent in games. Warden Harris does not believe that the inmates of the District jail should be pro- vided with turkey and other Thanksgiving delicacies at government expense, and those of his charges, whose friends failed to come to their rescue partook today of the ordi- nary jail rations. Friends of the prisoners, however, were permitted to provide them with such delicacies as the jail physician thought proper, and most of the inmates were so remembered. At the morning roll call 325 prisoners answered. Of these there were 51 white males and 2 white females, and 242 colored males and 30 colored fe- males. Intendent Stoutenburgh of the Washing- ton Asylum this morning had 460 inmates to care for. Of these 227 were prisoners in the work house, 214 were inmates of the poor house, and 19 were patients in the hos- pital. Mr. Stoutenburgh observed the day by providing his charges with a dinner of turkey and roast pork, and many of them were remembered by friends, who brought them baskets of delicacies. ———_+—— Sporting Notes.

The mayor this morning stated that he intended to make the appointments today and would probably name Messrs. Louis Craft and Harry R. Burke. Gaskins to Be Tried. The November term of the Alexandria county court begins next Monday morning, and, it is stated, the session will be held in the old court house in this city, as arrange- ments for occupying the new building on Fort Myer Heights have not yet been com- pleted.

AND NEW YORK ave Capital One Million Dollars, sot TESTS FOR INSAN Rule of Thumb Methods Which Very Frequently Fail. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat “Most people imagine,” said a local nerve syecialist, “thst doctors have some infallls ble test by «hich they can detect insanity immediatcly. Of course, tha non- sense. There are many odd methods of Giagnosing such cases, however. in loco- mctor ataxia the patient cannot watk with his eyes shat. In incipient paresis there is difficulty in articulating particular letters, and one famous scientist used to make his patients say ‘national intelligencer.” A man oo | ». in aul with an incipient case of the disease can't pronounce these words distinctly save his soul. Another very eminent practition- ler employed ‘truly rural’ for the same pur- pese. If you have paresis I would advise yeu not to try to say ‘truly rural’—at least not in company. “The ‘knee-jerk’ test is well known to physicians. To apply it the legs are cross- ed and a sharp blow struck just below the knee of the limb that is swinging loose. If the subject is all right there will be a prompt reflex acticn; in other words, his fcot will fly up in spite of all efforts to keep it quiet. If not, there is something wrong, and that reminds me of a tragic incident which occurred in a southern court not many years ago. A man was being ex- amined for insanity, and one of the 'awyers made the experts the butt of a great deal of ridicule. He scoffed particularly at the knee-jerk test and asked to have it applied to himself. There was no refiex action, and the fact had a powerful effect on t jury, especially as the lawyer happened be a man of brilliant attainments. After the trial was over he got to thinking abo the matter, end in spite of his skept concluded to submit to a thorough 9ri examination, It was made and discov urdeniable signs of locomotor ataxia, doom. ing him to a certain and lingering death.” ——— e+.
