"The get ting together process was In nctlvc opera tion for a time yesterday, and for a time the contending factions wcro together, but they fell again, nnd when they landed they were, It anything, further apart than ever. "It appears that Howell and Miller got together Thursday evening and drew up an ngrecment, which was signed by each of them. It provided that tho adherents of tho respective factions should select lists of del egatoa to a county convention, to be voted on at primaries to bo held on the date set by tho old committee September 13. Hoth acts of delegates were to bo filed with both committees. Tho Howell committee was to havtj tho fixing of tho date of tho county convention, which was to bo held in South Omaha, and each cotnmlttoo was to pay half of the expenses of the primaries.

Major Dual could not stand tho cllmat of tho now possessions and contracted low fever which reduced him so that on tho trip from Japan to San Francisco he was not expected to live. His opinion of tho nverago natlvo la not high, and ho Is rather critical when retorting to tho methods of tho government in dealing with tho Insur gents. "Tho plan adopted is not that which will soonest pacify the- islands," ho said. "Tho government is too lenient. Tho 'wnr' In the Islands is reduced to mere brigand age. All ot tho leaders nro captured ex cept Auulnnldo, and ho hns no men In tho field In nny senbo of tho word. His armies nro destroyed and the people now causing tho trouble call themselves soldiers only to avoid punishment ns brigands, Whon Spain was dealing with this class it was a file of soldiers on tho beach, tho comuinud to fire nnd a number of dead brigands, Tho Filipinos understood this und wore con trolled.

Manila iu a placo of 100,000 people of all kinds und the Influx of Americana has mado the matter of caring for tho people a serious proposition, When I wns thero riots wero tho usual thing. A band of Filipinos would get together and after holding a council would decide to drlvo tho Americans out of tho oily. They would bo taken in charge boforo they had dono any damage, but their actions became so troublcsomo that many of the soldiers wished that thcro would bo an uprising gcneially ho that the malcon tents could bo taught a lesson. "They know absolutely nothing about firearms. An oulccr was visiting mo and loft his revolver In the cab which wns waiting for him. Soon wo heard a shot nnd went to tho door to sco what It meant. Tho buggy wna gQiio and an Amerlcnn with two women walking along tho atrcot said that tho cab driver had fired at him and driven nway rapidly. Tho driver and his rig wero enptured n few blocks away, and the man wns so badly seared thnt ho was white. He had been looking at the revolver and pulled tho trigger. Tho revolver was doublo-actlng. After ho fired ho dropped tho gun and his pony ran away. Ho was given a lecturo nnd released." Tho clerk of tho district court has been notified of the release of Elmer Woodcock. 20 years old, who was telitenced In May to one year's Imprisonment In the state peni tentiary for daylight burglary. Warden Hopkins announced that tho clemency was shown at the direction of Governor Poy li ter, who has been lutorosted In the case by the young mini's family. The Woodcocks live at 1110 North Tenth street In this cliy and bear an excellent reputation. Previous to his arrest last spring young Woodcock also was looked upon ns an houtbt and lu dustrlous painter. Woodcock's offense consisted of breaking Into a Union l'aclllc freight car with the Intent of making nway with valuable articles belonging to tho road's dining service. Tho car had made a tour of the line und was stocked with silver and glass ware for the hotels tinder the control of the system. The goods wero all securely packed, however, and Woodcock ns ouly able to secure a clock and n few pieces of tableware. He was accompanied by an older hand. Harry Shelley, who was also sentenced to ono year. The pardon of Woodcock was duo to tho efforts of his mother and wife, who pleaded his catiso eloquently nt tho tlmo of tho trial. It was polutcd out that tho boy, not yet of age, had been led Into bad company, but that ho had boon the sole support of tho family and had always made a com fortable livelihood. Since Woodcock's Im prisonment his wifo has been unable to work because of 111 health, so that tho family has been lu straitened circumstances. A further showing was mado to Governor Poyntor that doubt existed as to whether tho crime of breaking nnd entering wero really committed. Tnero was ground for tho belief that the car door was unfastened and partly open at tbo tlmo tho theft was committed. The court hnd ruled, however, that tho act of .opening the door a few foot further constituted a teehnlcnl com mission of tho crime. Governor Poyt.ler caused an Inquiry to bo mado Into tho facts and tho warden re ported Woodcock an exemplary prisoner. During his continomeui ne una piunicn a largo part of tho Interior of the peniten tiary. In view of the facts, tnereiorc, tnc executive commuted Woodcock's sentence to three moutha nnd eighteen days tno period of his service up to Auguot 1.
