When Representative Cannon,
of Illinois, introduced in the
house on Monday bis "urgent
deficiency bill" carrying an ap-
propriation of $10,701,000, in
round numbers, and including
an appropriation of $500,000 for
the establishment of a military
post at Manila, he little realized
the storm which the measure
would bring about his head. Al-
though many of the provisions
of the bill were pronounced ex-
tfoing to j travagant by the minority it was
the last named appropriation

In thc senate, the Philippine
tariff bill is being discussed.
On Tuesday Senator Lodge
made a long speech defending
the action of his committee in
amending the bill passed by the
house. As the senator from
Massachusetts was expatiating
upon the advisability of continu-
ing the "open door" policy and
the advantages to be derived
from the trade with China, a
democratic member remarked,
sotto voce, "The gentleman's
next step towards building up
our trade with China will be the
re-enactment of the Chinese ex-
clusion law I suppose."
Senator Rawlins is preparing
to contest every step towards
the enactment of thc Philippines
bill as reported and he will be
ably assisted by Senator Culber-
son. On Tuesday Senator Raw-
lins made a strong appeal to his
colleagues to do justice to the
Philippines. He said that thc
present measure is calculated to
prevent trade relations between
thc islands and this country and
to continue thc necessity of
maintaining large forces of sol-
diers there in order to preserve
order. "The policy of the ad-
ministration is such," he declar-
ed, "as to permit thc officers of
the American army to replenish
their fortunes nt thc expense of
thc unfortunate Philippinos and
parades, and from a small source
this has grown to a magnificent
annual event, unsurpassed in its
splendid surroundings and in-
teresting particulars by anything
of a similar nature.
International in its character,
located on the border line be-
tween thc two Cireat Republics,
occurring at a season of the
year when business cares press
lightly, and at a time when
weather conditions in that local-
ity are ideal, this event offers
unsurpassed inducements to the
pleasure seeker.
This year the celebration
will consist of three days contin-
uous festivities, February 21st,
22nd and 23rd, thc principal day
of course being the 22nd, and
the program, which is very elab-
orate, will comprise several new
and interesting features among
which may be mentioned day-
light and night bull fights, the
latter by electric illumination,
torchlight parades, embodying
typical Mexican and Indian feat-
ures, sham battle and capture of
thc city by the Indians, naval
fireworks, military drills and
display evolutions, historical
pageants and trades display,
flower carnival, band and musi-
cal contests, etc.
For this occasiou low excur-
sion rates will be made to Lare-
do, also for the benefit of those
who desire to sec more of thc
Mexican life and customs, ar-
rangements have been made for
sate of ten day excursion tickets
to Monterey, permitting stop-
over at Laredo in order to take
in the International celebration.
Any particular information de-
sired can he ascertained from
your nearest ticket agent, or ad-

INE DROUTH BROKEN A! LAS?.
A Very Welcome Rala this Wook—More is
Needed aad Expected.
While it is unusual to make a
news item of the fact that it ha
rained, yot it is such an un-
usual item and such a welcome
one, and one that the News-
Chkoniclk has been so anxious
to record, that some space can
be spared to chronicle the event.
Sunday about noon the north-
er came, which proved with one
exception the coldest of thc
season. Considerable sleet fell
Monday morning, and an inter-
mittent slow rain has been fall-
ing ever since, all going into the
ground with no waste whatever,
and now the ground is wet more
than it has been for nearly eight
months—since the first week in
June 1901.
The rain has been general all
over the átate, and snow fell in
all thc central and northern por-
tion, though no part of the state
was as badly in need of the rain
as this section.
There is no stock water yet
and it will require a hard rain
for that as it would require
about three weeks drizzle to
make any water run in the gul-
leys. However, plowing can be
done now and the freeze will be
a great benefit to the land, and
altogether prospects are much
brighter since the rain.
As the News-Chronicle goes
to press it is still drizzling and
freezing, and thc weather bureau
predicts warm and rainy weath-
er for Friday and Saturday.
The County's School Apportionment.
The report of Comptroller
Love, showing the amount of
state tax and school tax collected
from each county for 1900 and a
comparison of these amounts
with the amount of school appor-
tionment to each county shows
that Burleson county is pretty
well ahead of the state on the
question of taxes.
Thc total state taxes paid by
Burleson county for 1900 was
$11,371; school tax $8,071; while
thc amount of thc school fund
received from thc state for the
year ending August 31,1901 was
$19,655. From these figures it
will be seen that Burleson coun-
ty received $213 more than the
entire state taxes paid—which
ought to keep us from kicking
very much about extravagant
sessions and wasteful adminis-
trations. They don't waste any
of our money anyway.
