DELOS BI'RI.I NOAMK. Sizerville. Pa., Feb. 20, lssw. WASHINGTON LtTTER. {From our Regular Corrcejwndcnt.) Washington, May 29th. ISSI9. President MeKinley instructed Gen. Otis to tell the representatives of Aguinaldo, when they left his line, after their recent stay of sev eral days in Manila, conferring with the American Commissioners, that neither they nor any others sent by the Filipinos would be again admitted to our lines, unless they came authorized to make an unconditional surrender. This means business and, in order to put Gen. Otis in a better condition to force compliance with his terms, more regular troops will be hurried to him as rapidly as pos sible. President MeKinley is just as much averse to calling out more volunteers as ever, but he recog nizes the fact that it may become necessary to do so in the near future, and if the necessity arises, he will meet it. Among the Presi dent's recent callers was lion. John Barrett, who was appointed Minister to Siam, by Mr. Cleveland, and who has just returned from Manila, where h<" spent ten months studying the situation. Mr. Bar rett said: "I was not originally in favor of the permanent reten tion of the islands, but the more I studied the question of our stand ing. politically and commercially, in the Pacific, the more convinced I became that our control there was essential to our prominence and prosperity in the far East. We stand to-day as one of the great powers of the Pacilic. If we should withdraw control over the Philippines we should abdicate a position that stands second to none and come after Great Britain. l\u.ssia, Germany and Japan. The vast interests of our Pacilic coast forbids litis. The Ivistand especi ally New England should turn in and co-operate in this move." Of the present situation. Mr. liarrett said: "Next to the rainy season the worst thing our troops have to contend against, in the Philippines the news of the anti-imperialist agitation in this country, which is being sedulously gathered, and finds its way to the insurgents. They think this movement means a great deal, and that if they keep 011 long enough, the agitation in America will come to their rescue." I pon a subject in which practically everybody in the U. S. is deeply interested, Mr. Barrett srik: "All this talk about Admiral Dewey's health is misleading. I sawa great deal of him and spent a day with him just before I came away. He is not ill in the sense that he needs anything more than rest and quiet. It is not generally known that he never left Manila Bay from the time he entered it until his final departure a few days ago. In all that time, the other officers and bis aids made many trips to Hong Kong and other points from rest and recreation." The Civil Service order which lias been so long deferred by more important matters has been issued by President MeKinley. It ex cepts something like four thousand positions from the Civil Service rules—positions which every mem ber of the Cabinet agrees should not be under those rules. It does not except the employes of the Government Printing Oflice. There is some talk about another special order being issued, excepting those employes, but nothing official can be had to that effect. The Dewey Home fund is not growing as fast as was hoped from the indications when the move ment was first started, but it is growing steadily. Contributions have been made by President Me- Kinley, Vice President Ilobart, and many other prominent men. The fund has just passed the S"),00(> mark. T)>o HiPnrp of <he C'ubnu soldiers to apply for their share of the money sent to be distributed among them has caused no uneasiness in Washington. The general senti ment in official circles is indiffer ence as to whether they take the 1 0...y or iot. "• 1 .o serious trouble is anticipated from the dis gruntled leaders who have per- ! suiided the poor devils, who need the monev so badly togo awav from Havana without it, rather than surrender their arms. The South Carolina OongreH- I sional delegation lias been urging j the Tost Office Department to re open 1 lie postoffioe at Lake City, 8. C., which was closed after the brutal killing of the colored Post master, but Postmaster General Smith has not decided to accede to their request, but who has sent a special agent their to look over things and to report whether the office should be re-established. In asmuch as a jury, made up from that community refused to convict , men who were clearly proven to have participated in the killing of the Postmaster, it would not be 1 surprising should the Department j decide to allow the postoffice to | remain closed for a while longer, as a reminder of the crime eoni -1 initted there. Senator Aldrich has called a | special meeting of the Senate Com | niittee <»n Finance, of which he is I Chairman, for June Uth, under | authority given by the Senate at | the last session of Congress. At | this meeting a sub-committee will Ibe named, composed of all the ! ropublic.au members, which will : consider the financial bill prepared by the House Caucus Committee, I several weeks ago. The Committee i will meet in New York and it is I hoped will accept the bill prepared i by the House Caucus Committee, j which is declared by those who have seen it to be a conservative and safe measure.

To be successful ono must look ahead and plan ahead so that I when a favorable opportunity presents j itself he is ready to take advantage of jit. A little forethought will also save i much expense and valuable time. A I prudent and careful man will keep a I bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, j 1 the shiftless fellow will wait until ne cessity compels it and then ruin his i best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out twenty-five cents, the other is : out a hundred dollars and then won- | ders why his neighbor is getting richer i while he is getting poorer.
