The Anthraoite Coal Strike Com mission is once more holding its meetings in Washington and is en deavoring to arrange and coordinate the vast amount of testimony and data which hag been submitted The meetings are absolutely secret, the coraniUaiouer holding tU.tt IU duty is to make a report containing its findings to the president who will make it pnblio at his discretion. Arguing from certain chance re marks of the commissioners, it is believed that one of its findings will be to the effect that too many men are now employed in the anthracite region and that fewer employees and greater opportunities for earn ing good wages should be afforded those retained. Such a decision would run counter to the general principals of the labor nnion and would, inciJeMally, serve to con firm the arguments of those repub lican senators who have urged that the educational qualification of the immigration bill be retained, with a viow to curtailing the extensive immigration of the lowest cIhus of laborers.

Presbyterian Chroniclings (lly Her. K. M Pini-nd.) At next Sabbath morning sottIop will be celebrated the sncrnnient of the Lord's supper. All ttieniUf-rs of tho church are urged to be present. The evening topic will be iu keeping with the beginning of lent. We are glad that this season which has proven to be such a bless ing to another church has gained such universal adoption among nil denominations. Our evening ser mons from now until Enster will be in harmony with the ecclesiastical calendar. This evening at 7.30 will occur our usual nrenarator? service. Lot us all examine ourselves inanticipa tion of coming to this sacred fenst Instituted by our Lord and binding upon us by bis commandment. Yesterday at 2 n. m. was bold the first examination of the normal course of lessons at the home of Mrs. Charles Mott on Harford street. There were four members of the class present and it is believeJ that another examination will be held later for the accomodation of those who coull not be present at that time. The pastor would be pleased to have the entire class at least try the examination. A new departure will be observed next Wednesday at the prayer meet iug service. Mr. John C. Wallace will conduct the opening exercises and the pastor will then speak as usual. This introduction of lay assistance into this service ha? been practiced in somo of the city churches with most excellent, re suits. It is hoped that all the elders and the Christian men of the cong recation who cau be induced to assist in this service will respond heartily and that it may be a means of great good for us all. The pastor has seen the Bibles to bo given to those who have learned the catechism and would take this opportunity to say that they are well worth the effort that the young Deoole nave made. Tlioy will be here soon and will be appropriately presented. The Philippine Question Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, in a speech delivered in the senate on the 13th of February, treating of the fnture welfare of the Philippine Islands, succeeded In putting in con crete form the many and disjointed Ideas which have been fructifying In the brains of our solons ever since w assumed the "white man's burden. The honest seekers for the welfare not only of the nation as it was, but its welfare as it is, have puzzled over this plan and that, with nothing tangible, and only half formed pur poses as evidence of their intentions. It has remained for a son of the west to outline a policy which will solv the problem "what shall we do with them?" lie points out that we giv reciprocity to foreign countries and admit, duty free, tropical products to the amount of 200,000,000, annually, all of which can be produced in ou tropical possessions. By giving them now our own people, a little en couragement, profitable eniploymcn would bo furnished idle thousands Fomcnters of discord and sedition find little encouragement when community is busy and contended. The naval appropriation bill whioh has patsed the house provides for three new battle ships, one armoured cruiser, two btoel training ships one wooden brig. The bill further places 1500,000 at the discretion of the secretary of the navy for the investigation of the subject of sub marine bouts and the purchase of such as the sum appropriated will permit. Secretary Moody has in formed congress that he desires no more Holland boats until he has had an opportunity to thorough! test those already ordered, an op portuuity which the company has thus far refused.

The entertainment given by Mr. Uilbert is the last of the course given under the auspices of the Epworth League. We were much pleased with the pleasant weather, last Sabbath, and with the good attendance at the services of the day. We sincerely hope that the lemainder of the conference year may witnet.8 the same interest in the Sabbath serv ices, and that as spring comes even larger numbers may find their way to the house of worship. It is a good thing to give thanks nnto the Lord and to keep His enmmand. lorsnke not the assembling of of yourselves together. " It was a source of pleasure to the writer to attend tho supper at the Presbyterian church last Friday ev ening. The good fellowship that is manifest at thoso social functions is a mark of the spirit of unity and fraternity that indicates tho true Christian spirit of Milford churches. Several have responded to the appeal made by Mr. Angle at the Sabbath school two weeks ago for Finland, and the amount has been forwarded. We send with it onr sincere prayer that the starving may bo fed, and life saved. The parsonage improvement fund is Increasing up to our full expecta tion. The people of Milford, mem bers and friends of tho church, deserve a note of thanks for thoir hearty generosity. We can not boast of our great wealth in mater ial things, but can honestly be proud of our free hearted liberality for tho pastor and his family. To Prevent Land Stealing By a vote of 7 to 6 the senate, com mittee on public lands reported favor ably the bill for the repeal of those sections of tho land laws which foster wholesale stealing of public hinds. This has been one of the crying evils of our public policy for sometime. It took nerve, and a strong sense of public duty on the part not only of President Roosevelt who recommend ed it, but also on the part of the western senators who made a majority report possible. The senators voting with the majority were, JVietrfch of Nebraska, Gibson of Montana, Bard of California, Nelson of Minnesota, McLaurin of Mississippi, McKuery of lionisiana, and Berry of Arkansas. The Democratic Cincinnati Knquir- er cheerfully notes that Mr. Cleveland has been. invited to address a demo cratic club in Nebraska and that doubtless Mr. Bryan will retaliate by organizing a populist club in New Jersey. Coiisunipii Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork, was the advice to the consumptive co ana 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsionisthemod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion r i- i- r t. reeainir nim iat in tins way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that.

QUAY SPEAKS THROUGH THE NORTH AMERICAN Tells Why the Territory of New Mexico Should be Admitted to Statehood Senator Quay is the champion of the statehood bill now before the United States senate. He also is an enthuslastio sponser for the people of the territory of New Mexico, which he describes in an extended article written by him for the Mag azine Section of next Sunday's North American. For more than fifty years Now Mexico has kuockpd at the door and emanded ' recognition as a right inherent in the treaty which annex ed the territory to the union. Slate- hood has been demanded of twenty- nine Congresses, and at least once a bill passed both houses and failed only because of the neglect or sinister act of the then speaker of the house of representatives, who permitted the bill to remain upon his desk. In his effort to make New Mexico a state, and, incidentally, mako his friend and former lieutenant, W. H. Andrews, a United States senator, Mr. Quay has braved the indignant protest of fhe united press of the country, and dared to threaten to encompass tha defeat of the Panama canal bill. Senator Quay and Andrews, who is now a territorial senator in the land of his adoption, declare that the republican party, through the last two national conventions, has deinandedslatehoodfor New Mexico, Arizona nnu Oklahoma, and also that the democratic nationnl party naa endorsed mlnusslon. Thev pro test that tho territory in peaceable, prosperous, brv abiding, enterpris ing, with ' valuable industries well developed, a vast agricultural dis trlct fully improved and vast mineral deposits which are annually adding 10 tne wealth or the nation. Senator Quay claims that the railroads of the state are well built and reach Into every quarter, over duuu nines now being in operation and many hundreds of miles more under contract. It will bo the fourth state in the union in point of sizo, with over 78.000.000 acrs within the jurisdiction, of which over 65,000,000 acres are yet subject 10 pre-emption : an area as large as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts combined. It has costly public. educational and religious structures, une hotels, clubs and homes The population is republican almost to a man, the vast cattle and sheep interestn causing the New Mexicans to appreciate the protective tariff of the republican party Last year the wool crop reached 2,000,000 pounds. tho coal output 1,500,000 tons and minerals of all kinds netted the territory $10,000,000.- In next Sunday's Magazine Section of the North American Senator Quay tells in a statement especially prepared for The North American the. reasons for his advocacy of the admission of jNew Mexico into state hood. Territorial Senator W. H: Andrews, formerly senator from Crawford county, Pa., now a heavy owner of minos nnd president of railroads in the new country, also gives to the readers of The North American an inside view of the resources of the territory, Aud them's something else in the Sunday North American.
