1 ' " -X ".. A "V4- -m THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1898. PEACEMAKERS ARE SELECTED JUDGE GHOSSOUP MAY BE ON THE COMMISSION. Efforts to Obtain His Appointment. He Is a Closo Friend of the Presi dent, Who, It Is Reported, Ap proves His Views ns Expressed at Saratoga Recently Senator Fryo Almost Sure to Bo One of the En voys to Paris General Tracy An other. Washington, Aug. 24. From a mem ber of the cnblnet conies the statement today that Senator Fryo has been add ed to the peace commission and that one vacancy remains. For that there is talk of Justice White, of Louisiana, yet In the past few days considerable pressure has been brought to bear In favor of Judge Orosscup, of Chicago, who delivered nn address at the Sara toga conference Friday urging the re tention of the Philippines. Judge Orosscup Is a close personal friend of President McKlnley, and has been one of his political adviser. His counsel has had weight at the White House on more than one occasion, and It Is Intimated In administration circles that the president was aware of the character of his Saratoga address In advance of Its delivery, and that he In terposed no objections to It. URGED BY' WESTERN MEN. Leading Western men have urged "the president to put Judge Orosscup on the commission on the plea that the advocates of expansion should have vigorous representation. As now thought to be constituted, the commis sion has a substantial majority In favor of expansion. Secretary Day Is the only member who is opposed on principle to retain ing more than a coaling station. Sen ator Davis favors retaining the entire group. Senator Frye, while not bo strong an expansionist as Senator Davis, Is favorable to a policy which shall Involve at least the bringing of the entire group under American pro tection. Oeneral Tracy, if he becomes a mem ber of the commission, may be counted on to assume as aggressive a position as ex-President Harrison would have assumed. There Is reason to believe that the administration has no Idea of aban doning any part of the island of Luzon. The problem before It Is to secure the permanent peace of the rest of the group without accepting the responsi bilities of permanent possession. In other words, the president alms to have the largest commercial advantages with the smallest possible extension of territory. AGUINALDO'S CRACK BAND. It Made the Yankee Troops Distend Their Ears in Glee. Manila Letter In tlio Sun. There may not bo gains for all our losses, but surely there are for some of them. The thing which we least expected wo should find out here Is good music. A wondeiful band marched up the muddy Calle de San Francisco from Agulnaldo's headquar ters this morning and for an hour serenaded General Anderson with play ing that would set the music lovers of New Tork wild with excitement. The average Filipino does not pre sent the appearance of a musician or a music lover. But for his bright, in telligent eyes he would look like a stupid Patagonlan sheep herder. There are few musical instruments In the na tive villages. Once In a while one runs across a tin-pan-toned cracked piano, horribly out of tune, and two or three places have harps, nut this band, composed entirely of Filipinos, is worthy to rank with the bands of the world. It was the famous Military band of Manila, where it used to fur nish classic music on the Lunetta when the aristocratic Spaniards went aut for their evening drive or promenade. And occasionally, or oftener, it was turned out to play while a few dozen of the musicians' people were shot for the edification of the multitude on the charge of sympathizing with the In surrectionists or some other trumped up accusation. In Manila there were seventy-two members. Sixty of them managed to get away with their instruments and music. This morning forty-eight play ed on the little piazza in front of Oen eral Anderson's headquarters. And such playing! It was recompense for every discomfort, every vexation, every disappointment, every hardship of 7.000 miles In a troopship,, the last 5,000 at half steam In a tropic sea. You shut your eyes and heard the or chestra of the royal opera at Vienna, the great Budapest band, the famous A man la the darkness of hopeless dls. ese is of all men most miserable. When doctors and medicines innumerable have been tried and found yarning, and loving friends vainly urge upon him the food he cannot eat and which brings hlra no nour ishment or strength, what is to be done ? Men and women who have sunken so far into weakness and disease that the whole body seems to be permeated and poisoned by it have found health, strength and vigor through the transform. Ing, electrifying power of that wonderful "Golden Medical Discovery" which Dr. R. V, Pierce, of Duffalo, N. Y proffered, thirty years ago, to sick and suffering hu manity. During all the years since then this mar velous "Discovery" has been building up weak and debilitated constitutions by ita extraordinary influence upon the human, nutritive system. It gives the digestive or ganism keen power and capacity to appro priate every life-giving element from the food taken into the stomach and trans, forms it into rich, highly vitaliisi blood and healthy flesh, bone, sinew and nerve fiber. Consumption in all its earlier stages is arrested and counteracted by the tissue buildinjf, flesh. making, llfe.promoting pow er of this grand medicine and there is no darkness of bodily ailment so dense but it will shed upon the sufferer the light of re newed hope. Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation. mm,$? "Ss (PES fa military band in Berlin, the Boston Symphony nt its best, Scl-ll'a finest work, nnythlntr In tho world. With never a noto in front of them, they played what you liked, any part of any opera, tho grandest music ever written, or a simple Strauss waltz or a folksong. And the bass drummer was the lender. You will never hear a boss drum really played until you hear that Flllpllno do it. He makes n bass drum talk, cry, sing, shout. It Ills tho mood and movement of the music. It is subordinate or dominant, soft, sub dued, or loud nnd roaring; it laughs and chuckles like a thing alive; it raves nnd protests like an angry sol dier, and all In perfect harmony nnd (sympathy with tho rest. Tho ambi tion of tho average bass drummer Is to develop the muscles In his arms. Ho pounds the uncomplaining drum as if ho were swinging clubs for ex ercise. But with this Filipino It Is a science and nn art, and ho is master of both. It Is a curiously organized band one bass drum, two snares, a lyre, five tubas, eleven saxophones, big nnd little, eleven clarinets, eight cornets, one ballad horn, and four altos and tenors. They played songs from "Faust," and I sat In the Metropolitan Opera House and heard and saw tho vast audience get to Its feet with fran tic cheers when Calve and tho two de Itcszkcs finished the prnyer song. They played, but no telling describes whnt they played. Come out when we take Manila and sit under the arc lights on tho Lunetta nnd hear them play for yourself. Tho 10,000 miles you have como from New York will drift into nothing, nnd you will hear only the music und bo glad you are alive. SAMPSON SIDES WITH GARCIA. General Castillo Also Says That Shnfter Broke Faith. Washington, D. C, Aug. 24. Admiral Sampson before returning to Now York to see lis family expressed approval of tho following interview published In a local paper: "I was very favorably Impressed with the Cubans." said Admiral Sampson. "General Garcia Is a grand old man nnd I learned to admire him during my short stay before Santiago. 1 think It very natural that he should withdraw his men when it seems that he was not Invited to witness the surrender of Santiago. It has been asserted that he was Invited by General Shatter. As to that I do not know. He said hlm-j-clf that ho was not, and under tho circumstances It was appropriate that he should bo invited." Now York, Aug. 21. Brigadier Gen eral Joaquin Castillo, who accompan ied General Shatter to Cuba as a rep resentative of the Cuban army and tho Cuban civil government, has just re turned to this city. He said: "Before the American forces landed General Shatter and Admiral Sampson met Oeneral Garcia at Aserraderos for a conference, nt which I was present. General Shatter there, of his own nc cord, promised Garcia that on the sur render of the city It would bo turned over to him." A SELFISH CRAZE. Woman's Devotion to Her Dog Can so bo Called. From tho Philadelphia Times. Among selfish crazes, tho pet dog crnzo stands pre-eminent. It Is not that affection and care for animals which Is one of the traits In human nature, but the adoration which makes everyone rise suffer, puts children, friends, acquaintances, husband, all In tho background of Indifference. To such nn extent Is this mania some times carried, thnt tho ordinary rules of politeness are Ignored rules which In good society have often a prior claim to the rights of relationship. For example, there was one lady who used always to keep husband, friends, nnd nil, waiting for breakfast till she had given her pet pug the kidneys and cream provided for its morning meal, and no ono was allowed to occupy a certain part of the henrth rug, as that would disturb his dogshlp; neither could more than threo go for a drive In the carriage, as that would be mon opolizing tho pug's scat. When this dog died his owner had nn In me inorlnm bracelet made of black enamel, with his name set In diamonds. An other lady had live pugs, whom she used to lead by Ave silver chains at tached to her waist belt. THEATRICAL. ' "A Day nnd a Night." When Hoyt's newest work, "A Day and a Night." Is presented at tho Lyceum Saturdav evening. It is fair to presumo that It will call out an audience that will till tho house to overflowing. Tho play wright hiiH written and produced a scoro or more of Miecesses, but from nil re ports the one that will bring him the mo.it dollars and pl.teo Mm still more prominently before the public ns the most successful author, la "A Day und a Night " In malting tho many changes nnd impiovrments he has slnco tho piece was last seen h re, It Is claimed that ho has novcr shown a more thurough knowl edge of what makes the success of such a piece than In this production. "The Girl I Left Behind Me." What Is unlvimilly quoted as the strong, st American nlay over written, "The Girl 1 Lift Uthlr.d Me." is tho open l g ' ii tlou at the Academy of Music lii '. .-! Lights boglnrlng August 2a, Monday night, with usual matinees. This famous drann Is ono of the most exciting and thrilling that has ever been played upon the stage nnd exercises a fascina tion over all who see It that Is marvel lous. So skillfully huve tho authors, Da vld Belnscs nnd Franklin Fyles. con structed their play that the nudltor is never allowed to lnso Interest from begin nlns to end nnd flimly believes thnt he is watching tho actual exciting events of tho story Instead of being present nt a theatrical pcrformarce. 'The Olrl I Left Behind Me" will bo Interpreted by a com pany of competent nnd excellent nitlsts whllo the scenic display will bo accurate and gorgeous. n THIRTY-SECOND NATIONAL EN CAMPMENT OF G. A.

THE MARKETS. Wall Street Rovlow. New York, Aug. 24. There were sev eral qulto important movements of positive strength in tho stock market today, but tho preponderating Influ ence of severnl weak features and the very heavy profit taking by large holders of leading stocks nullified them. A sharp ndvanco in tho gran gers at the Opening duo to buying by commission houses, and bidding up of prices by traders, resulted only In bringing very heavy offers to realize. There were change of speculative In terest from St. Paul nnd tho grangers into some of tho lower-priced stock, with dividend prospects. Northern Pa cific was most conspicuous in this class and was ubsorbed In enormous blocks, closing at the top nt an advance of l?jo. There way very lnrge demand for People's Gas and marked strength In somo individual stocks, but these were not sufllclent to offset the poislstont profit" taking. Manhattan was weak and closed two points below Inst night. Total sales were 512,100 shures. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN ALLEN & CO., stock brokers, Mears' building, rooms 705-70G.

CLIMATE OF PHILIPPINES. Although Tropical it is Healthy Even in Summer. From Scrlbner's. In regard to the climate which a for eigner encounters, It is easy to exag gerate Its discomforts; although It Is tropical, still oven In summer tho cli mate mny be called healthy. From December to March there are warm days, with cool nights and little rain. During March, April and May the days are hot, dry nnd dusty, whllo the ther mometer rises to 96 degrees at noon; but tho nights are not uncomfortable. In tho latter part of May nnd of June there are thunder storms every after noon with a tremendous downpour of rain. The greatest heat occurs In these months, the thermometer rising fre quently to 103 degrees In the shade. July, August and September are tho months of the great typhoons, nnd whllo Manila escapes the greatest fury of these, still enough of their force re mains to demolish many houses. Dur ing October and November storms les sen In frequency nnd severity, and the weather gradually nettles Into tho fine days of December. WHAT EUROPE HAS LEARNED. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. It Is no exaggeration to say that the United States occupies today, In tho eyes of the great nations of the elobc, a whol. ly dlfferont place from that which It held four months ago, Continental Europe clung to the belief that the American people wero a collection of traders and money-grabbers, who worshipped the al mighty dollar and lacked tho ability to carry on vigorous war outlde their own territories. Dewey, at Manila; Schley, at Santiago, and the superb daring of Shatters troops In front of the enemy's lutrenchments havo relegated that belief to tha Umbo of dead superstitions. The accuracy of American gunners, the skill of American seamanship and tho grim tenacity of American soldiers have con quered a respect that Is as wide as tho boundaries of civilization. Henceforth tho words of the official representatives of the United States at forelcn capitals will carry a weight which they have not hitherto possessed, A POPULAR CLEARING HOUSE for tho Benefit of All Who Have Houses Real Estate or Other Property to Sell or Exchange, or Who Want or Help llicse Smnll Advertisements Cost One Cent a Word, Six Insertions Cents u Word Except Situations Wanted, Which Are Inserted Free; LEGAL.
