This is what Rogers road:
"At the last session of the Congre¬ gational convention, held in the church on Forest avenue last uight, the chairman rend a telegram that was received with a shock by tho members present. 11 was to the effect that the Kev. Samuel F. Uavis, who was to have read a paper on ",Sotne Thoughts Upon Life," had died that afternoon at his home at Rivers Crossing. Though Dr. Davis had not been pres¬ ent at nny meeting of the convention, it was thought thot he would be able to attend the last. ' Fitting resolutions wecA. drawn np and odoptod directly after the readiug of the telegram by the chairman.''    ¦
Rogers raised   his   eyes   from  the paper and then lowered  thetn  slowly until they met those of tho City  Edi¬ tor.    t>ue look ¦was cuohanged.   Tbei Rogers laid down the paper, and  gc ing into IheMocal room put on his hi and pushed  the elevator   bell.    0» second later the City Editor heard le iron door close behind him.—Detill Free Press.

It was also set forth that the United States rnuld not assume any pnrt of the Philip¬ pine debt whloh had benn Incurred by Kpata f'^r the rurthernnco ot military or naval operations to quuU Insurreettoas of the natives.
PRESIDENT    PAVOnn    ANNEXATION.
Oar Com tnl sal on ors   Were   Instmct«d   to Uemnod   the   Phlllpplaea.
Wasbimotow. \). C. (Speolnl).—The ad- rl(!es from Paris to the effect that the Uuited Htates Pcaco Commissioners have demanded tbe cession ti^ thn United States of the entire Philippine group Is In line with the Instructions tbat have bfH>n issued to tb« re present atl Tes of the United tttates. * Of course beforH they departcnt from Washington much oonstderatlon had been given to the subject by the PrBsldeLt, Hec¬ retary Day. Assistant i<ecretary Moore, and the members of the commission. But there was a lack of data an to the llnauolal and polllicnl KfTslrs of therhtllpnlnes, and ao it happened that when tbe United Htates Commissioners saUed they were not com¬ mitted beyond change to anv line of polley. A majority of thnlr numue.' letined to« ward a restriction of the demands to be put forth as thn Philippines, varying all Ihe way from the retention of Manila Bay and tbu Immediately surrounding oountry to tbe acquisition ot the whole Island ot Luzon. That represented about tbe ex¬ treme demand that wa^ In mind when the pommlsslou left. But since tbat time the Preskb'nt has beoome oonvlnced thnt there Is a great popular demnod for the annexa¬ tion lo tbe United Htates oMho whole Phil¬ ippine group, nnd be Is disposed to dtifer to that senttmout.
It cannot be loarnnd deflnitely vrbat money consideration Is to pass with tho title to the Philippines. Indeed, thero Is reason to be'leve thst oven the United Htates Puaca Commissioners have not yet be**n able to flx tbe amount exactly. As¬ suming that they are to repudiate ail uor- tiuns of tbedebt of,the Island*!, which aoes uot represent money spent for actual bet¬ terments. It will bosevn nt onoe that tbe task presented to the .Oommissloners of dinrerHntlHtlng tbls det)t Is not an easy one, partlcuUrly iu view of tUo notoriously loose financial muthodH of tht^ Hpnnlsh colonial nuthorltles. That^hU tlebt shouM bn hs- sumnd by the United StitttH lusomn portion Usnid at the Htate Departmtmt to bo In- evltahle If annexation Is to follow.
Quite unofflclally, but In a manner to ?arry conviction ns to the accuracy of the Information, the Hpanlsh Oommissloners fOtne days ago treru allowed to know what the United Htntes* purpose as to tbe rhltlp> ploes was, onoe the conclusion was arrived at.
