Eighth—The provision for the ““open door” commer- cial policy in the Philip- pines. The rough draft of the treaty, which may be changed, covers the protocol pro- posals. It makes a long docu- ment, which Senator Davis of the United States Peace Com- mission says will be found to be | one of the most interesting pa- pers of its character ever written. So -completely are the details of the evacuation of the Philippines stipulated, that a commission such as arranged for the Spanish withdrawal from the West Indies will be unnecessary.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The advices from Paris to the effect that it might be reasonably presumed that the Peace Commissioners will be ready to sign a treaty of peace within a day or two are fully confirmed here. It is learned that the President’s instructions to Judge Day were to hasten the conclusion, and to that end the American Commission- ers have been authorized to limit the treaty closely to protocol points, leav- | ing other matters, such as the acauisi- tion of cable stations and naval sta- | tions, to be dealt with hereafter. | As'such separation of points is en- tirely in line with the expressed desire of the Spanish Commissioners, there appears to be no reason, now that an agreement has been reached as to all of the protocol points, why those should not be immediately reduced to the form in which it is desired they should ap- pear in a treaty and be at once signed | by the Commissioners. In this case, it is possible that the treaty of peace may be submitted to Congress even before | the Christmas recess. S0ULD WILL T GouL LOSE A FORTUNE His Marriage. NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—It is now defi- nitely established that Howard Gould will not be called upon to sacrifice any part of his fortune as a result of his recently marrying Miss Katherine Clemmons.

My recommendations are for what I be- lieve to- be the best interests of the Gov- ernment, not only at present, but, as far as we are able to see, for the future. The recommendations have been made re !;nr‘dloss of any personal consideration of | any officer or soldier now connected with | the military service. | | .

In addition to this we | | have the important harbors in Porto Rico, | Cuba and the Philippines to defend, re- | | uulring a large force of artiliery. | The organization recommended is such | | as to give rank in proportion to the im ‘nondn( duties and great responsibilities fcl[lvllrm] of the different officers in our | service, and is similar to the organization which has been found most efficient i the armies of all other cf and also to that which wa most effective in the between the years 1851 lar organization h by General Sher eral Schofield.

There was strong opposition in the ! family from the first to Howard's at- | tentions to Miss Clemmons, and it was | unquestionably this opposition, which | was backed by the forceful argu-| ment of an entailed sacrifice of $5,000,- | 000, that so delayed Mr. Gould’s mar- | riage. When at last his long courtship ! was brought to a close by the quiet | wedding in the bride’s apartments in | the Holland House, no member of the | bridegroom'’s family was present. This was generally accepted as an indication | that the other helrs were irreconcilably | opposed to the match, and the predic- | tion was freely made that the punitive condition of the will would be enforced. | It is probable that the attitude of the | heirs would have been defined at an earlier date had it not been for the fact | were lacking only a few weeks before the coming of age of Jay Gould’'s youngest child, Frank, whose twenty- first birthday was celebrated on Mon- day, when hé came into possession of his $10,000,000 share of the estate and was entitled to a voice in the decision affecting the fortune of his brother.

SO CLAIMED IN A RESOLUTION MEASURE TO REWARD SER- VICES OF DEWEY. Bill Presented by Hale to Revive the Grades of Admiral and Vice Ad- miral, Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The first note of the anti-expansionists was sounded in the Senate to-day by Sen- ator Vest of Missouri, who introduced the following joint resclution: That under the constitution of the Uni- | ted States no power is given to the Feder- al Government to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently as colo- nies. The colonial system of European nations cannot be established under our present constitution; but all territory ac- quired by the Government, except such small amount as may be nécessary for coal- ing stations, correction of poundaries and similar governmental purposes, must be acquired and governed with the purpose of ultimately organizing such territory into States suitable for admission into the Union. A brief discussion of the navigation laws was precipitated by the considera- tion of a bill amending those laws by the addition of a provision that for- eign built vessels wrecked in the Unit- ed States, purchased by citizens of this country and repaired to the extent of three-fourths of their value, shall b2 subject to forfeiture if they engage subsequently in the coastwise trade of the United States. Vest, a member of the Committee on | Commerce, expressed his opposition to | the bill, principally because it afforded | protection to the coastwise trade, which | needed no protection. Under the pres- ent system of navigation laws this trade had decreased from 75 per cent to 11 per cent, and this country is now paying $150,000,000 annually to foreign shipowners for carrying trade (hat ought to be carried in Americaa bot- toms. This condition of affairs, Vest declared, “was a scandal and dis- grace.” He said he had been amused at the suggestion of the President. made in his message submitted yester- day, that our carrying trade be encour- aged by the payment of subsidies “In other words,” he said, “it is pro- posed to substitute for the vicious sys- tem of navigation laws a scheme of subsidies that is even more vicious | than is the evil it proposes to .einedy. “Under the proposed policy of the administration,” continued Vest, “we are to build a great navy. We are to cease to be a nation of traders and. under the impulse of the policy of ex- pansion, become a nation of warriors. It would appear to me to be better first to build up our carrying trade. I would also let our people, through the beneficent effects of such trade. buy where they can buy cheapest.” Caffery of Louisiana, as a member of the Committee on Commerce, op- posed the bill. Finally it was made a special order for next Monday. Morrill reported a petition:from the Legislature of Vermont asking for the revival of the grade of admiral and the recognition of Rear Admiral Dewey. Hale presented a bill to revive the grade of admiral and vice admiral. At 1:30 p. m. the Senate adjourned. s At IN THE HOUSE. Bill for the Government of the Ha- waiian Islands. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The House was in session less than half an hour to-day, when the death of Representa- tives Northway of Ohio and Love of Mississippi were announced and an ad- journment was taken until to-morrow out of respect to their memory. The customary resolution for the dis- tribution of the President’s message to the several committees having juris- diction was adopted and the deficiency bill, carrying appropriations for the ex- tracrdinary expenses of the army and navy, from January 1 to July 1, 1899, was reported and will be taken up by the House to-morrow. The report of the Hawaiian Commis- sion, transmitted to the President, was laid before the House and referred to the Committee on Territories, together with a bill offered by Mr. Hitt, to carry | out the recommendations of the com- mittee. ELECTRIC CuMPANIES IN A MERRY WAR SANTA CRUZ, Dec. 6.—Last evening there was trouble between the Big Creek Company and the Electric Light and Power Company, resulting in eleven ar- rests on charges of unlawfully taking possession of t atter company’s plant on_Pacific avenue. The Big Creek Company has a contract to operate incandescent lights and fur- nish power to the powder works. In or- der to carry out its contract the piant of the Electric Light and Power Company was leased until next month. The latter corporation, by James McNeil, its presi- dent, thought that too much strain was being placed on the machinery, so_ on Sunday evening it took possession. Last evening the Big Creek employes again took charge, and fhe other corporation had them arrested. ‘While the defendants were in court the Electric Light and Power Company em- loyes gained entrance to the building. P ater the Big Creek Company had the Electric Light and Power Company’s employes arrested. While the latter were in court the Big Creek employes again took possession and held it. The Big Creek people say they intend to remain in possession until the lease ex- pires. Last evening the Big Creek wires were cut, with the result that East S8anta Cruz was in darkness and no lights were on the covered bridge. In consequence two teams collijed and Miss Estell was thirown out of & vehicle and bruised. All the defendants arrested last night will plead to-morow in the Justice Court. —_—————————— Sanborn & Vail's lamps, onyx ‘tabies, globes and shades make beautiful pres- ents.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES COST OF .GOVERNMENT IN THE WAR YEAR. Benefits of the New Tariff Just Be- coming Manifest—Workings of the Chinese Exclu- sion Act. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The annual report of Secretary of the Treasury Gage shows that the revenues of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30 were $494,333,953 75 and the ex- penditures $532,381,201 35, leaving a de- ficit of $38,047,247 60. As compared with _the fiscal year 1897, the receipts for 1898 increased $63,946,785 86, but there was an increase of $77,594,423 23 in the ordi- nary expenditures. The revenues of the Government for the current fiscal year are thus esti- mated at $577,874,647 37, and the expend- itures for the same period are esti- mated at $689,874,647 37, or a deficit of $112,000,000. Regarding the working of the tariff, the report says: Domestic industrial enterprises are un- questionably benefited by the tariff act of 1897, designed as well to encourage home industries as to increase the rev- enues of the Government. By reason of the fact that importers, anticipating the assage of the act referred to, provided hemselves with large stocks of merchan- dise of every description, the tariff of 1897 cannot be regarded as fairly tested by the receipts immediately following its pass- age. As an illustration of the correctness of this view it may be stated that during the first four months of the fiscal year 1899 the receipts from customs (exclusive of the duty on tea provided by the war revenue law) amounted to = $62,776,080, | which is $4,633,026 in excess of the receipts for a similar period in any year since 1892. As to immigration, the report says: The report of the Commissioner General of Immigration shows that 229,299 immi- grants arrived during the year, a de- crease, compared with the preceding fiscal year, of 1533. The number of those de- barred and refused landing was 3229, as compared with 1880 for the preceding year, and was composed of 417 alien contract laborers, 2261 paupers, 258 diseased per- sons, 1 idiot, 12 insane, 2 convicts, 79 as- sisted immigrants and i9 who were re- turned within one year after their arrival, having become public charges. More par- ticular attention has recently been given to the cases of immigrants suspected of being affected with disease. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1897, only one immigrant was .ebarred as being afflicted with a ‘“loathsome or dangerous contag- fous disease,” while during the last year 258 were denied admission on that account. The report gives some interesting facts regarding Chinese exclusion. as | follows: The total number of Chinese persons ad- mitted to the United States in the last fiscal year was 719. Of this number 5273 ‘were of the exempt class, principally mer- chants, students, etc.; were so-called artists, actors, artisans and laborers, ad- mitted' for the Trans-Mississippi and In- ternational Exposition at Omaha, and 1497, were. returning registered laborers. There were also $65 who passed through the United States under bond in transit to | other countries. Two hundred and eighty Chinese were refused admission. It.is believed that many Chinese labor- ers have gained unlawful admission by representing themselves to have been born in the United States. In such cases they present themselves to the customs officers at the frontier and seek arrest. On being taken before the United States Commissioner for deportation proceedings they are frequently discharged on their own testimony and that of their alleged fathers. In many cases such testimony is believed to have been untrue, and in a number of instances the ux;‘plicants or the alleged fathers, or both, have been suc- cessfully prosecuted for perjury. ¥ ADVERTISEMENTS, NERVOUS DEPRESSION. [A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.] A woman with the bluesisa very un- { comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as “the blues,” nearly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation, 1t is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv- ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn’t under- stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com- mon sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- Iowing letter: *“DEAR Mgs. PINEHAM:—I have suf- fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the ‘womb, and this spring, being in such a wealkened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time -ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped. “I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten years.
