WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Many atrange ¢haracters were given a place in the House of Representatives by the votes of the peo- ple last Tuesday. Kansas, however, his failed to do her duty. The Post-Dispatca telegraphed its correspondents in every State for facts relating to the newly elect- ed Representatives. The correspondent in Topeka sent this message in reply: ‘It Jookes as if Kansas has quit sending unique characters to Congress. There is nothing Unusual about any of the delegation this time.” But the other States have more than fill- ed the breach occasioned by the unexpect- ed lapse of Kansas. Utah has distinguished herself beyond al) others. It has elected BR. H. Roberta. a Mormon, who has three wives and who admits he is living contrary to the laws of the State and nation, One of Roberts’ plural wives gave birth to twins elght months ago, and the Salt Lake Trilflune has made the twins an issue in The campaign.

Another service to which the compresed air may be put, according to the assertions of the inventor, is that of supplying fuel gas. Mr. Noteman clares that he can convey this alr through gas mains and through the use of a ‘hydro- carbon attachment to the burners can fur- all fuel gas required in Toledo at a of 12 cents per 1000 feet or less.

The correspondence over the protocol, Minister has, the Spanish Commissioners deem a strong card on the Philippine sovereignty question, The American Commissioners admit that in talking with M. Cambon, President Mc- Kinley may have said that Philippine sov- ereignty was not under disciission then, but they say that his letter of Aug. 10 afterward embodied in the protocol, meant that the question was to be left to the commissioners. The American demand will not be modl- fied.

LONDON, Novy. 1j.—During the past week the United States has occupied the attention of Europe to a greater degree than at any time since the battle of Santiago. The en- try of the American republic into the arena of Eastern colonization has attracted wide- spread and varied attention, and never be- ‘fore have the phases and issues of an Amer- jican election been so generally and eagerly ‘canvassed and so intelligently commented on. | The supposed indorsement of the s0o- ‘called expansion idea by the electors of tne United States has commanded a chorus of approval! in Great Britain while the journal- istic spokesmen in France, Russia and Ger- many exhibit an equal unanimity of dis- / approval. | On the heels of the election the Marquis of Salisbury threw the chancellories of Eu- rope an ambiguous phrase which they have not yet succeeded in satisfactorily dissect- ing.

WHAT WE DO WITH GERMANS. It appears*that a German official called upon Gen. Wesley Merritt after the capture of Manila, complimented him upon the ap- pearance of his troops, and remarked: “f notice you have Germans among them.’’ By this the German offictal tIntimated that the infusion of German blood ex- plained the effictency of the American 6o0l- diers. Gen. Merritt replied disgustingly: “We make a citizen of a German in three years and we make a soldier of him in five years.”’ The members of Gen. Merritt's staff are not unanimous in considering the Phillp- jine Islands be a desirable acquisition. ne of the officers sald: “My observations lead me to the conclusion that if we take the Philippine Islands we shall be shoulder- ing a century of trouble and brolls. The exe tent of the Spanish possession merely con- sisted in controlling a few larger towns, and the rest of the country ran itself. The Spaniards were compelled to pay tribute te the Sultans of some of the Islands to keep the peace. The United States would not be content with Spanish methods of govertie many to ing. If the Marquis of Sallsbury’s speech mad¢@ clear any fact it was that Great Britain does not intend. to diminish her armamen regardless of the Czar’s proposals in tha irection.
