WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21st, 1898.
President McKinley lias called
time on Spain, so to speak. He
has set a. time limit, within which
"the Spanish Peace Commissioners
must either accept or reject finally
ami definitely, our demand for the
Philippines. The exact length of
this time limit is not known out
side of the Cabinet, and probably
half a dozen others who enjoy the
President's confidence, but there
are good reasons for saying that it
<itoes not extend much, if any, be
yond Dec. 1. The President was
somewhat loath to adopt this per
emptory policy, because be disliked
to even appear to be taking ad
vantage of our power to compel
Spain so do what we pleased, but
the quibbling evinced in the
answers of the Spanish Commis
sioners, which they took a week or
more in each case to prepare, con
vinced him that if they were not
pulled up short, the negotiations
were liable togo on indefinitely.
He is simply tired of keeping this
country on a war footing, and
waiting for the Spaniards to agree
to a formal treaty of peace.
Chairman Cannon, of the House
\ppropriation Committee, is de
termined that there shall be no
delay in getting the regular appro
priation bills reported to the House,
at the coming session of Congress.
The appropriation made at the last
.session of Congress for the support
of the army only extends to Dee.
■Hlst, which makes it necessary that
a. new appropriation shall be made
before Congress takes its Christmas
recess. I'pon information from
?.he War Department that its
.stimates would be ready by that
time, Mr. Cannon has called a
meeting of the members of the sub
: ommittee on deficiencies, of which
he is Chairman, for the 20th inst.,
and if the estimates are not delayed
;liis liill is likely to be ready to be
reported as soon as Congress assem
bles. The sub-committee on the
District of Columbia, will hold its
first meeting Dec. 1, and the pres
ent intention is to report the bill
and pass it before the holidays.
The House appropriation commit
tee has a good record for hard and
rapid work, under the guidance of
Chairman Cannon, but be hopes to
establish a new record at the com
ing session of Congress.
The first? pension of the Spanish
war has been awarded to Private
Jesse T. Gales, Second I . S. Ar
tillery, who lost part of his upper
lip and several teeth in the Cuban
campaign. Under present laws §l7
a month was the most that could
be allowed Gales, who is perma
nently disabled and disfigured. He
will be given that sum, but its in
adequacy is so manifest that it is
likely a bill will be passed by Con
gress authorizing its increase.
Admiral Dewey has notified the
Navy Department that he has con
tracted with a Hong Kong firm to
raise three of the Spanish gun-boats
sunk in Manila Hay; that the work
has already been partially accom
plished. and that $">00,000 will
cover the entire cost of raising and
putting them in complete repair.
These boats are of a class that will
lie especially useful to the U. S. in
Philippine waters. They are
named respectively, Isla de Cuba,
Isla de Luzon, and Don Juan de
Austria. The first two are twin
ships, 200 feet long, 150 feet beam,
with a draft of 11 feet 6 inches,
and the other is slightly larger,
210 ft, long, :3M ft. beam, with a
draft of 12 ft. G inchef. They all
have torpedo tubes as well as bat
teries.
While it is hoped that the an
nouncement of satisfactory progress
by the Canadian American Com
mission will shortly be followed by
another that a treaty has been
.agreed upon, it is known that such
a result can only be obtained by a
material change in the position the
Canadians have heretofore taken as
to what should constitute commer
cial reciprocity —the real object of
the Canadians in taking part in
this commission. The Cnited
States has always been willing to
have real commercial reciprocity
with Canada, as with other nations I
but strongly opposed to the jug
handle article which Canadians
have heretofore sought. As soon
as Canadians are willing to give as
much as they wish to take, a treaty
can be arranged.
Hon. H. S. Foster, a member of
the British Parliament, who is vis
iting Washington, quotes President
McKinlcy as having said to him
during a conversation on the re
lations between the United States
and Great Britain, that "the feel
ings of the two peoples would be
fruitful for the cause of humanity
and civilization," and that "the
co-operation of the two countries
did not depend upon paper treaties
or written obligation, but upon a
much deeper and more lasting
basis."
Representative Dalzell, of Pa.,
who is a member of the House
Committee on Rules, was asked
whether there was likely to be any
currency legislation at this session
of Congress, lie replied: "W hat
is the need of it? We have an
abundant revenue, and as long as
that is the case, there is nothing
the matter with our currency. 1
do not tliink there will be anything
done on the subject at the coming
session of Congress. There may
be some currency legislation during
the fifty-sixth Congress, but how
broad and general it will be I can
not say. Ido not think the country
would suffer if there were none.
The people have no question about
our money as long as our revenues
are all right."
Secretary Long will, in his an
nual report, recommend the build
ing of three new battleships and
twelve cruisers, and the enlistment
in the Navv of twenty-thousand
men and two-thousand live-hun
dred boys.

Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, ol Groton, S. D. "Was taken

lungs; cough set in and finally termin
ated in consumption. Four doctors

short time. I gave myself up to my
Savior, determined if I could not stay
