She has at no time been dangerously ill, and she is now much better than when she returned from New England. The announce ment that her condition had caused the president to abandon his contemplated trip west, was a little premature. That trip had not been definitely decided upon, only hoped for, and may yet be taken, if Mrs. McKinley is strong enough to accompany the president. He will not go without her. Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, is evidently uot enamoured of public life, even when it involves a seat in the senate, which so many men devote so much money and time to obtain, SR he has announced positively that he would retire Ht the close of his term ? March .'>, 1001?and that he would never hold another public office. Gen. Funston writes aR breezily as he tights. A Washington friend has received a letter from him, U ntl t i.n fn) Intrimv 1 o o n /w t ro of vuv i \?i iw ?? i jo ?*n cai i nv/i | therefrom: "On general princi pies. I am not an expansionist; but I believe that since we were, by an unfortunate train of cir cumstances, thrown into this thing, we should stay with it to the bitter end and raw hide tlie-e bullet headed Asiatic ruflians until they yell for mercy. And after the war 1 want the job of professor of American history in Luzon university, when they build it?and I'll warrant that the new generation of Filipinos will know'better than to get in the way of the band wagon of AngloSaxon progress and decency." The country is having an inven five boom, and the U.S. government. as well as the inventor, is profiting thereby. How much, may be judged from the state meat of the commissioner of patents, that the weekly receipts of his ofliee were $5,000 a week more than they were last summer. The total numbei of patents, trade marks and labels issued this week was a greater number than has been issued in a single week since April, lMM), and the num her of applications awaiting m* tion approximates 5,000. Secretary Long made public a very emphatic denial of the pub lished report that he did not ap prove of the Philippine policy of the administration and had made a protest at a cabinet meeting against its continuance. It. is said that there has at no time been the slightest disagreement in the cabinet on the Philippine policy of the president. In addition to denying that he ?vi11 resign because of his candi dacv for the senate, Secretary Alger took occasion in a public statement to say that, while he di 1 not believe that Gov. Pingn e has used language attributed i him hi recently published inter views, if it should at any tin)^ become necessary for him to choose between Gov. Pingree's support of his henatorial aspira ions and bis own support of President McKinley he would have no hesitation in choosing the latter. This statement made <*ith apparent sincerity, has puzzled the political proph eta, who have been saying that next year was likely to lind Secretary Alger working with his new ally to secure a Pingree del egation from Michigan to the lie publican National Convention Secretary Algar, says his alliance with (Jov. Pingree has only one object ; the control of the next i Michigan legislature and his own j election to the Senate. The pol itieians had supposed that (iov. Pingree expected something for himself from the alliance, but according to the Alger view, he is in it only because ho hopes to defeat Senator McMillan, whom he dislikes. t % ' k"p \ ' J . ? 1 '* * ^^vvvvvvvv^-vvvvvv* ^Farmers' Banking GRAND CL1 Our Entire Line of Su .
