George Gray, of Delaware, former United States senator from that state and now a United States circuit judge, The views of Judge Gray on the Philip pine question are Interesting. Speaking on this subject he said: "It was main tained on all hands that we must drive Spain out nnd keep her out. To do this It was absolutely necessary that we should maintain possession of the Islands, provisionally at least. Before we could gather ourselves to see what should be done we were attacked. "The fight In the Philippines begun by Agulnaldo during the armistice which was declared Aug, 12, 1898, and continued till the treaty was ratified. Is BtlllJn progress. The Americans ob served the truce with Spain with fi delity and Agulnaldo, whose forces were armed largely with guns provided by Dewey, opened hostilities against the American troops pending the ratifica tion of the treaty of peace. When we have maintained the dignity and pres tlge of the American name In the Philippines and have successfully re pelted this attack. It will be time enough to talk about the future gov ernment of those Islands. I trust that a settlement will be made that will be entirely consistent with the highest Ideals of American freedom."

A Movement to Improve tlin Condition llio llmmloiivlllH Itimit, M. M. llurko, Esq., of town, has been re tained by a number of (armors in tho fnlon townships and also n number of citizens of this town to secure a change In portion of tho road leading from Shenandoah to ilran dunvlllo. The papers aro now In tho hands of Liveryman O'llara, who Is taking an actlvo Interest In tho matter. Mr. Iturke will on Septombor 4th, ask court to appoint viewers to view and lay out tho proposed change of rou to. Tho reason nss'gned Is tho exres-ivo grade in tho road on the llrandonvillo iintm- tiilu. Should tho road bo changed It will thou continue westward from Itclchert's hotel, at Hrandnuvllle, with a gradual slope along the mountain sldo for about thtco- quarters or a mile ana thence southward over the mountain, past tho dams of the Citizens Water Company, to a point in tho present road near tho Homey Hun colliery. Tho llrandonvillo hill is uuquostrouably one of tho most dangerous pieces of roadway in this part of the state, and it is hoped that the parties having the proposed change in hand will succeed. The now road will in no particular oxecod thrco degrees In elevation. Tho petition follows : "Tho petition of theundersignod inhabitants of the Townships of East Union, Union and West Mahanoy. respectfully represents ! That a public road or highway was long since laid out and opened leading from Shenandoah and through said townships to llrandonville, said county, and usually known as the Brandon, ville road. I hat h part of said road, running through said townships beginning at a point at the Kohley Kun colliery 01 tho Thomas IJoal Company and ending at tho intersection of the Catawissa IUllroad and the public road at llrandonvllle, said county, has become in convenient and burdonsomo because of tho excessive grade on tho Iirainlonvillo moun tain ; and the said road would bo very much improved by a change of its rotlto between said points. "Your petitioners therefore pray the llonorablo Court to appoint qualified persons to view bald promises and inquire in o the expediency of making said change and other wise proceed as directed by tho Act of Aswinlily in such caso mado and provided; and they will ever pray, etc." PERSONAL MENTION.
