EXTRACTS FROM
MANILA LETTERS
Manila, Philippine Inland, Oct, 6,
189H; Dmir Friend: Itwuemy Inten
tion to write you a letter in time for the
eteamer which Bailed I wo, or threo day
ago but to tell the real truth I have
been too aick to write. Jluve not felt
like sitting up for a couple of day.
Weather I very hot and had rather
gotten the better of me. Hut thi even
ing I am felling much better end will
write while I may. We received a cable
gram from the governor neklng If we dc
lred to be mnetered out. That aenmed
hkettfooliMb question. No one would
atny here If they were not needed aud
could get away. Wo replied that officer
and men wanted to be mustered out,
contingent of couree upon the fact that
the government aoonnotneea u nerw
longer. When I be government i through
with u hero I am reaoy to icava ano
agree never to return nere 'again ano
that the Benilnientpraeiicoiiy oi every
olfloer and aoldler here. We are not ask
ing to he taken nwoy but wueu we are
UHked if we enjoy staying here we most
emphatically ay no. Do not b wor
ried about my BicKues ior in noi
serious. I have been around every duy
and on duly all the time.
Th picture reached me 0. K, in good
condition. They are splendid picture
particularly so in tblacouutry. Thank.
Ihaveshown them to nearly everyone
aud all agree tbat tba distance adds In
terest. Thi I the most lonesome place
on earth, but I have told you thato
often that it I monotonous by thi lime.
Hut there is nothing better than the old
old story, if 1 waa in Lincoln tonight I
rather think I'd tell it again. It too
long to writ but pleasant to remember.
We have no ladies here, no libraries, no
theatres, no amusement of any kind,
and the icoveruor neks us if we want to
stay here. We want to stay until our
duly is done and not n duy longer,

waa so great that coping stones on tho
outer walls, lust cast of tho point
where tbo explosion occurred, were
bulged out nearly two Inches; windows
in all that part of the building wero
blown out, and locked doors were
forced from their hinges quite 150 feet
from tho scene of it.
Tho library of tho supreme court,
located immediately beneath the su
preme court room, was badly damaged
by Are, smoke and water practically
destroying tho great collection of law
reference books. The library contains
about 80,000 volumes, and was used not
only by the justices of the supreme
court, but by member of congress and
lawyer practicing before the supremo
court Mr. Justice Harlan said tbat
was verv valuable. Manv
amlnatlon, nccesnaruy mauo by tno
saved, although they bad been
drenched by water from the streams
poured into tho library for two hours
f , , , occurred
v ' . . , ..
f' frlona damage, ia the
tho
opinion of the justices of the supreme
court, is to the records stored in tho
sub-basement. These included all the
records of the supreme court from
1702 to 1833. The room contains tho
records of cases and opinions rendered
by tho fathers of tho judiciary of tho
government. Apparently the docu
ment in this room ere either totally
destroyed or so budly damnged by flro
and water as to be useless. Justice
Harlan said that while tho loss of the
records was irreparable, it was fortu
nate the ltfter records of the court,
which are kept in tho office of the,
clerk on tho muln floor, were not in
jured. As documents for reference at
this time and later Justice Harlan
thought these wero of far greater
value than tho records destroyed.
Fortunately the clerk's office was not
in the least damaged by tiro and the!
explosion did no damage in it except
to blow in one window. !
Arrangements were completed by Li
brarian Clarke, of the supreme court,
and Colonel Richard Kright, serjeant-
at-arms of the senate, by which the
siUiuirs of the supreme court will not
to interrupted. Tho court will con
vene in the room of the senate com
mittee on the District of Columbia, one
of the most spacious rooms in tho cap
itol. How long the sessions( of the
court will be held there will bo deter
mined by the justices themselves.
