except a brass <lb/>
chandelier. The walls <lb/>
are of stone and on the eastern side <lb/>
there is a manner, looking through <lb/>
the ban of which the <lb/>
scenes of the Nativity, with the <lb/>
towers of palaces in the <lb/>
distance. In tin- foreground the <lb/>
Virgin sits by the manger holding <lb/>
the infant Saviour, with tit. Joseph <lb/>
leaning over her the w men <lb/>
offering sheep, oxen various <lb/>

skillfully that I couldn't <lb/>

hadn't an patching to do. but I <lb/>

The thing he did was to cut a <lb/>

I. Jan. <lb/>
Mr. it so anxious for <lb/>
i lie Senate to promptly ratify the <lb/>
treaty he took occasion <lb/>
to broach the subject to a <lb/>
of senators who hands with <lb/>
at the New Year reception, at <lb/>
the White House, today. It is the <lb/>
antics believed to <lb/>
have both Spanish German <lb/>
which are causing Mr. <lb/>
anxiety. He <lb/>
Senators his hands were tied, <lb/>
outside of the territory already <lb/>
by our troops, until <lb/>
treaty was ratified. <lb/>
opposition to treaty itself has <lb/>
almost entirely disappeared, but <lb/>
democratic opposition to our keep- <lb/>
the Philippines permanently <lb/>
appears to lie Increasing. Present <lb/>
indications are that whatever de- <lb/>
lay there may lie in reaching a vote <lb/>
on treaty, which will go to <lb/>
this week, will come from <lb/>
Republican senators, such as Hoar, <lb/>
Hale Perkins. Nearly all <lb/>
democrats say that the treaty <lb/>
should be promptly ratified be- <lb/>
cause it does not commit this <lb/>
try to seeping and <lb/>
delay may result serious trouble. <lb/>

members of the War <lb/>

somebody when the report of the <lb/>
is made, which will be <lb/>

people will admit that they have <lb/>
performed conscientious- <lb/>
and that it is not so much of a <lb/>

The magnates of the beef trust <lb/>
have trying to scare General <lb/>
Miles since he I old the <lb/>
gating commission that the <lb/>
to Cuba and <lb/>
was utterly unfit for <lb/>
use and expressed the opinion, <lb/>
backed up by that of physicians, <lb/>
that the enforced eating of it had <lb/>
responsible for much of the <lb/>
sickness, but they have not <lb/>

a feeler, they threaten to sue Gen- <lb/>
Miles for heavy but <lb/>
the lineal was dropped <lb/>
when General Miles said that a <lb/>
court of law was precisely where <lb/>
he would like to get the men who <lb/>
gold that beef to the <lb/>
War Department. Swift Co. <lb/>

was made to admit that a lot of <lb/>

Senator Mason, of Illinois, is the <lb/>

expansion. He <lb/>
am not expansionist, but I <lb/>
the treaty will be ratified at this <lb/>

treaty, however, will not commit <lb/>
this country to the expansion Idea. <lb/>
The retention or disposition of the <lb/>
Philippines and other matters re <lb/>
to expansion will have to lie <lb/>
settled later on. The subject is too <lb/>
big to be passed upon hastily. I <lb/>
