TOO MUCH FOR ONE MAN.
Dual Duties In the Philippines
Heavy Task.
Ilrnfral Amleriton Iu Speaking nf the
Kllontion Kwys Another Man Is ltadly
PafXMleil leflares That the Heat Tal
ent In the Country Siionlcl Re Sent to
LHrert AfTalr.
Chicago, July 24 "The greatest
statesman in this country should be
made governor-general of the Philip
pine islands, and the military au
thorities in the island subordinated
to him."
llrigadier General Thomas M. An
derson, commanding the department
of the lakes, today outlined in the
foregoing words what ho believed to
bo the best courso to pursue in the
far east.
General Andereon cxprossed him
self as follows when asked his opinion
of the results likely to follow the in
stallation of the new secretary of war.
lie said:
"The greatest exigency with which
we have to deal at present exists in
the Philippines, aud to it wa should
bring the best talent we have. The
governor-general should bo lirst of all
a statesman. He should have the dic
tation of the course to be pursued and
the military representative should
carry out tho orders of tho governor
general with impiicity, but prefer
ably, in his own way.
Too Much For Oue Man.
"As it is, General Otis is both civil
and military governor in the islands.
Exorcising both of these functions, ho
, is tho most absolute and arbitrary
ruler on oarth, tho czar of Russia, not
excepted. Tho military power should,
in my opinion, bo merely a means of
carrying out the policy of the civil
administration. It must bo under
stood that I do not m-Tao this a criti
cism of General Oil?, for he is vested
with this dual power and must do the
i best he can. 1 believe that the task
which ho is tr3'tng to perform is too
meat for HDy one man, no matter how
capable he may he.
"The man at the head of the war
department at Wash inf ton should be
tf good business executive ability and
sound common sense. The statesman
ship ii required on the scene of action.
I have no intimation of any change
in the department under Mr. Root.
One thing is certain, however, so lon-g
as General Olts is allowed to remain
in command he should receive the
support of the adminiotration at Wash
ington. An incorrect policy carried
out with determination is usually pro
ductive .of hotter results than is a
policy which, on the whole, might be
better, but the execution of which is
wavering. Whether or not General
Otis has acted wisely in the matter of
press eennori-hip I am too far away to
tell. Per-onally I have a great deal
of respect for the correspondents with
whom I came in contact in the Philip
pines and believe thern to bo men of
truth and honor. There may be other
elements entering into tho c:tse, how
ever, which would justify General
Otis in that which he is stid to have
done."
4SmmI Health In Havana.
HAVANA, July 24. The health re
port for the last two weeks has been
tho most favorable" ever known in tho
history of Havana. There have been
no yellow fever cases and the number
of other contagious or infectious dis
eases has been reduced to the mini
mum. The authorities will not de
clare that it is impossible there should
lo a yeliow fever epidemic here, but
are doing everything possible to avoid
tuch an occurrence. The officials hero ,
are congratulating themselves upon j
the success thus far attained, but are i
- i .i i- . .
not relaxing tneir euons to maintain
a proper sanitary condition in every
direction. Any cases of sickness about
which there is any possible doubt are
closely watched.

BOWLING G If KEN, Ky., July
The -antUGoebel meeting here
24
this
afternoon ended in the greatest dis
order. Personal violeuce was resorted
to t-ereral times before the convention
waa over. One man was stricken from
the rear with brass knuckles.' Several
others were struck and for a time it
looked as if the meeting would end In
a general riot. Pistols and knives
were drawn and but for a temporary
adjournment - more bloodshed - would
su;ely have followed.
A TRAMP'S FOOT IS MANGLED.
Harrowing Experience of Oeorge Morgan
on the Uompers of a Train.
Bkxkelman, Neb., July - 23. With
one foot crushed off between the
bumpers of two Burlington cars,
George Morgan, a South Omaha man,
rode Saturday night on a slow freight
for over fifty miles, from a point near
McCook to that place, where his leg
was amputated. He boarded the car
just outside of McCook, seating him'
6olf between the cars on the bumpers.
When the train started Morgan's foot
was caught and practically cut off up
to the ankle.
In spite of the intense pain and by
summoning all bis wonderful nerve
Morgan remained conscious for fifty
miles. Ho tore up his shirt and bound
the strips about the wound in order to
stop the flow of blood. This he did not
succeed in doing very woll, for the
strips came off after a time and the
blood continued to flow. He 6trove to
hold his leg in his arms, but this grew
wearisome as his energy ebbed away
and he allowed his leg to hang down
so that it dragged in tho cinders. '
At this place he was removed from
his horrible position in a state of nor
vous frenzy that almost amounted to
insanity. Doctors Withall and liar-
rows performed the operation. Mor
gan endured the amputation quite as
heroically as ho did the awful ride
over the sandy plains. His condition
is critical and he may die.
Morgan was employed by Kemple &
Sons of Omaha. He says that he has a
brother at Greewich, Kan.

SHERIFF LOSES TRAIL.
Jesse
McCarty Has Thus
Evaded the Officers.
Far
Victim of the Positive's Wild Shooting
Still Lives Brother of Jesse Advises
Him to Ketnrn and Stand Trial, Be
lieving; He Will He Able to Pat Up a
Strong Defense.
Bellevue, Neb., July 23. Hubert,
the victim of Jesse . McCarty's wild
shoojjng at Fort Crook City last night,
still lives, with favorable chances of
recovery and in a condition as com
fortable as a 44-caliber ball in his
back will permit under the best of
care and medical skill. The would-be
assassin is still at large and badly in
iured. so some of his friends here
assert. "
On arrival here this morning Sheriff
Sam Startzer first searched McCarty's
home and vicinity. This was about 2
a. m., while the affray occurred about
10 p. m-, and McCarty's wounds had
been dressed by Dr. W. C. Duel, the
local phvsician here at lip. m., after
which suitable cover had been at
tended to, or a clean trail left.
Apprehending this fact, Startzer
a 3 A.!
then organizea a posse oi aepuuea
and proceeded to search the dwellings
f several of McCarty's relatives and
friends, whose amiable compliance
Bcrved to confirm the officer's belief
that the cover was deemed satisfac
tory, more than which the dense
sch rubbery investing a considerable
portion of the town could leave noth
ing to be desired.
Every clue was faithfully traced. A
misplaced oar near one of the boats at
the landing caused the sheriff to cross
the river in search of the trail, but
none was discovered, ana anout :i
o'clock this morning- the chase was
abandoned, while the pursued waB
left, presumably, in the bosom of
friends.
VLtnsey," Jesse's hired man, who
participated in the scrimmage, was
taken into custody by the sheriff. In
a ..a -V - m
an interview wttn Jim mcuarty, a
brother of Jesse, he laid the whole
blame to whisky, and said that if in
his brother's place he would give him
self up and fight the case, claiming
that Jesse did not do all the shooting,
and that the evidence would show that
Reynolds wbs using Vis gun at the
same time that Jesse was struck down
from behind, and that when Reynolds
eft beating him he said: "There,
you've got a dead man; drag him out,"
showing an intention to give Jesse
the worst of it in Reynolds' saloon.
That some such course will be pur
sued is generally accepted, as Jesse
McCarty, unlike his brothers, is quite
thrifty, having some stock and valu
able crops, which might enable him
to put up a strong defense in a legal
wav.
LEAGUERS START FOR HOME.
Young Mrthodlsts' Convention Considers
Different Thases of Mission Work.
Indianapolis, Ind., Ju'y 23. Tho

THE END HOG.
And. the Tttt Man That Crowded
mm a
Car Seat.
Boston Herald: I saw a funny sight
J the other night on a boulevard elec
tric, wnlca ratner Knocked tne :ena
hog" silly. A man weighing in the
neighborhood of 400 pounds shoved a
woman with him in the seat which al
ready held two other passengers; one
of them yielded to pressure and moved
in. the other held the fort, and then
came the tug-of-war. The stout par
ty became purple with rage: "Please
move up." The "end hog" . blandly
answered: "I can't." Then the 400
pounder made one more desperate ef
fort, and finally squeezed himself
through the second place, puffing and
panting with the exertion. But hU
woes were not over. A woman had
stopped the car, and as the conductor
counted but four heads for this partic
ular bench, he ordered her in thre;
and she went, climbing over the "end
hog" to a space of less than three
inches besides the choleric passenger,
who was the embodiment of sU fur
naces. It was more laughable to see
the indignation on the countenances of
those this last wedge had made miser
able. The "end hog" hung his face
over the running board and tried to
breathe; the fat party sprawled out his
elbows and grumbled to his compan
ion, and the other end seater hunched
herself Into nothingness In vain. When
the "fifth wheel" to this coach finally
got off the car she was crushed to
gether like an opera hat. Then the
others expanded, and once more four
passengers on that particular bench
were more than it could conveniently
accommodate. I was sorry to leave
without knowing whether tho sMut
gentleman had the right of war, or if
he stepped on an.1 obliterated foiever
the "end hog" when he reached his
destination.
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Ma, lately had a won

death. In telling of it he says: "I

came hardened. I was -so weak 1
couldn't even sit up in bod. Nolhing
helped me. I expected to soon die of
cobsumption, when I heard of Dr.

MEASURING LIGHTNING.
How IIaiiibollr Stru-! nil tlie Fulgurito
Idea.
It is not generally known that many
flashes of lightning not only measure
themselves mit actually manufacture
the recorder by which they are defmed.
When a bolt of lightning strikes a bed
of sand it plunges downward into the
sand for a distance less or greater,
transforming simultaneously into glass
f . eilie-i in tLe material through
which It passes. Thus, by its great
heat, it forms aglass tube of precisely
its own size. Now and then such a
tube known as "fulgurite" is found and
dug up. Fulgurites have been followed
into the sand by excavation for nearly
SO feet. They vary in interior diame- j
ter from the size of a quill to three
Inches or more.accordlng to the "bore"
of the flash. Fulgurites are found also
in solid rock, though very naturally of
slight depth, and frequently existing '
merely as a thin, glassy coating on the
surface. Such fulgurites occur in as
tonishing abundance on the summit of
Little Ararat in Armenia. The rock Is
soft and so porous that blocks a foot
long can be obtained, perforated in all
directions by little tubes filled with
bottle-green glas3 formed from the
fused rock. There is a small specimen
in the national museum which has the
appearance of haviDg been bored by
the toredo, and the holes made by the
worm subsequently filled with glass.
Some wonderful fulgurites were found
by Humboldt, on the higri Nevada de
Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of rock
were covered with a thin layer of green
glass. Its peculiar shimmer in the sun
led Humboldt to ascend the precip
itous peak, at the risk cf h:3 life.
