Fifty years ago, following Disraell’s revela- tion of .the mysterious vastness whence swept forth the tribes who became the Jews of Palestine, Miss Agullar appeared upon the literary horizon as expositor and a defender of the falth of Israel.

Aguinaldo says in part: 1 propose to the honorable civil commis. #icn to obtain irom congress a United Siates treasury Inan of $20,000,000 gold in cash, and alfo a credit of '$50,000,000 gold, which will guarantee the issue of paper to gorve as money in the islands. This sum shali be used for the development and im- provement of Fillpino agricuiture, and be ald within twenty years, the payments eing made In three instaliments at the end of ten, fifteen and twenty years respec- tively When the loan and credit were approved a bank wculd be opened which could be called the United Btates of Amerfca Agri. cultural Philippine bank, and which should be under the inspection and supervision of the Insular government. This bank would loan agriculturists such sume as they should ask for, in compliance with the necessary formalities, at an annual maxi- mum rate of 4 per cent, payable semi-an- nually. From the $100,000000 $3,000000 would be used to bulld branch banks throughout the archipelago and for other necessary pre- liminary expenses. Subtracting from the annual income of $3,00,00 the annual expenses, which may be reckoned at about $00,00, there wuuld remain a net annual income of $31,220,000, which added to the capital at compound in- terest would free both the actual capital and_the supplementary credit in sixteen years. That Is, the bank would have liqui- dated its debt to the United States treas- ury and would have a balance of at least 47,000,000 for the continuance of its work. Senators Confer with the President. Senator Cullom, chairman of the commit- teo on forelgn relutions, had a conference with the president today concerning the Cuban treaty. Senator Cullom fully be- lleves the treaty will be ratified, but it Is realized by the senate leaders that there is some disposition to oppose it with the om- nibus statehood bill. Advocates of the statehood measure are willing to support the treaty, but want votes on their measure and are inclined to effect an srrangement involving a vote at an early date on both propositions. Subsequently Senators Beverldge and Kean, both members of the territcries com- mittee, conferred with the president ro- garding the statehood bill. Senator Bev- erldge is pesitive that the omnibus bill will ot be passed. Friends of the measure are pressing for a vote and are disposed to resort to dras. tie tacties in order to secure one. They be- leve that if a vote be reached the result would be satisfactory. Senate Work Arranged. The prospect of a congestion of business In the senate is such that the republican committee on order of business met today to adjust the clalms of confiicting meas- ures. There was unanimous agreement to give precedence to appropriation bills and conference reports.

All the senators present, ten in number, agreed as to the Importance of ratifying the treaty, but agreed that as between it and the appropriation bills the latter were more important, because the treaty could be considered by an extra session ot the senate alone, while the failure of ap- yropriation bills would Involve an cxtra seasion of the entire congress.

It is also reported that the plague has been discovered in several interlor towns in Sonora. Further reports received here are to the effect that there is no plague at Hermosillo and Guaymas.

Some days ago they petitioned the faculty for the discharge of a cadet whofm they charged with insubordination and unbe- coming conduct. President Patten declined to consider the petition or present it to the faculty, claiming that the stuent had already been punished. The officers met last night and declded pot to have anything to do with the mili- tary teature of the college until, what they regarded as their rights, had been recog- nized.
