arranging to reinforce the fleet . in the
Philippines, as suggested by Admiral
Dewey in the course of his conference
with the president.
In going over the field of available
ships It was found that the plan con
reived of sending: the Marietta and the
Machias with the Brooklyn would have
to be modified so as to drop the two
gunboats.
The department has completed Its
program and has sent sailing orders to
the shlp chosen to go to Manila. The
New Orleans was telegraphed to pro
ceed at once to the New York navy
yard and have some changes made In
the galley apparatus. This change can
be made In six days, when the ship
will start on her voyage. The Brooklyn
will be turned back from Hampton
Heads as soon as she comes within Big
nallng distance and sent to New York,
whence she sailed before the depart
ment could reach her with orders.
She will be ready to sail by the end
of the week. A cablegram was sent to
the Nashville at Han Domingo to pro

she is expected to get off within twenty-four
hours. Orders were also tele
graphed to the Badger at Mare Island
to proceed to the Philippines as soon

Indlanans Restore to Taxaa Rang
. ere Their Tattered Emblem.
Dallas, Tex. (Special.) The tattered
battle flag of Terry's Texas Ran gen
was restored to the remnant of thai
gallant confederate band, the ceremo
nies taking place In the Auditorium a'
the fair grounds.
Governor Mount of Indiana and stall
and Governor Sayers of Texas and
staff were escorted to the Auditorium
where Governor Mount In an impressive
speech before a large assemblage pre
sented the flag to Governor Sayers.who
in turn, presented It to Hon. James
Miller, president of the Association ot
Terry's Rangers. Great enthusiasm waf
manifested during the proceedings.
Governor Mount said In part: "Thlf
great occasion becomes an epoch in out
country's history. A third of a century
ago the two great states here repre
sented were bitter contestants in civil
war. Today we meet as citizens of a
common country to weld stronger the
bonds of national union sundered dur
ing that war. Removed by the tide ot
time by this cruel conflict, let the as
perities of the past be fore-otten. for it
is better to exercise charity than to en-
genaer strife, to plant the seeds of con
cord than the germs of hate.
"We come to return In love a battle
flag we took In anger. Since those who
fought us then are brothers today, and
ngnt by our side, Is it not eminently
proper to turn these trophies of war,
representing as they do the eternal past
imo mementoes of friendship, to rep
resent the spirit of unity Jn the living
present? Who will dare criticise this
noble impulse as a mere morbid sentl
mentality?
"Take this flag, and may it be hence
forth an emblem of unity and good will
between the great states of Indiana
and Texas, and a seal of their fidelity
to tne national union.
The flag is an Interesting relic. The
Rangers claim that It was never cap
tured, but that It was lost while they
were In retreat. The Indlanlans, how
ever, atwert that It fell into their regi
ment hands during the heat of battle.

Noted lowan Passes Away at
Home In Mount Pleasant.
Des Moines, la. (Special.) The death
of ex-United States Senator James
Harlan occurred at his home In Mount
Pleasant. The end was not unexpect
ed, a collapse having taken place last
Sunday. The Immediate cause of death
was congestion of the lungs, compli
cated with liver trouble. Over-exertion
In attending the sessions of the
Iowa Methodist conference last week
aggravated his maladies and caused
prostration.
His daughter, the wife of Hon. Rob
ert T. Lincoln of Chicago, was sum
moned from New York City and was
present at the bedside. Others present
were: James Whltford and Mr. and
Mrs. Crawford and son. No arrange
ments have been made for the funeral,
but It will probably be held In Iowa
Wesleyan university chapel, in Mount
Pleasant, on Sunday afternoon.
James Harlan was born In Clarke

f ROM THE SEAT OF WAR
FILIPINOS SAID TO BE RETURN'
ING TO THEIR FARMS.
Continuous Round of Small En
, gagements Keep American
Soldiers Well Occupied.
Manila. (Special.) Aguinaldo, ao
cording to a report brought to Manila,
by a Dominican friar from the north,
has issued orders to the Filipino sol
diers In the northern provinces to re
turn to their towns and to resume
farming.
Thla story lacks confirmation; but
the rumor may be in accordanos with
Agulnaldo's policy of keeping the coun
try as productive as possible by using
his men in alternate shifts on the farm
or under arms.
Dagupan, San Fernado and Delluinlct,
which are under the guns of the United
States warships, are supposed to be
evacuated. It Is alleged that the evacu
ation order calls upon the male Inhab
itants to be orderly in case of the ar
rival of the American troops and ex
presses the hope that the Americans
will protect the towns.
The Archbishop of Manila notified
General Otis that there was a plot on
foot to burn the residences of the gov
ernor general and the archbishop, to
gether with several government build
ings and banks, but the plot failed to
materialize, possibly because of a dis
play of force.
The first reports regarding the affair
at Paranaque seem to have been exag
gerated. The facts are that a small
band of insurgents, following the bay
road, poured a volley into the village,
Later another into Las Pinos, with the
result that two or three houses were
burned. The crackling of the bamboo
caused It to be reported in Manila that
there had been shooting.
The United States transport Warren
from San Francisco, with 1,200 recruits,
has arrived.
The United States gunboat Wheeling,
from Vancouver, March 3, via Honolulu,
while passing St. Vincent, In northern
Luzon, shot down a Filipino flag. The

and the Wheeling bombarded the set
tlement.
The expedition sent to the Oranl river
under the command of Captain Corn-
well to recover the sunken gunboat Ur
daneta, returned to Cavlte with the hull
of nhe boat, after bombarding Oranl
and landing a force. Captain Cornwell
brought one prisoner.
Lieutenant Franklin ot the army gun
boat Laguna de Bay, guided the ex
pedltlon. There were no casualties. On
Monday morning the expedition entered
the river and anchored above Oranl
near the Urdaneta, the Inhabitants of
the town simultaneously evacuating It,
and carrying their belongings with
them. The gunboats bombarded Oranl
the beaches and the surrounding coun
try for half an hour, receiving a Mau
ser volley in reply.
The Urdaneta was towed off the bar
about 10 o'clock that evening, the oper-
atlons of the Americans being unmo
lested. The following morning the
bombardment was reopened to cover a
landing of 180 blue Jackets and marines
about half a mile above the town. On
entering Oranl the Americans experi
enced a slight rifle (ire from the Fili
pino trenches. They found the town
untenanted.

Lincoln, Neb. (Special.) Adjutant
General Marry has received several let
ters from members of the First Nebras
ka asking If there were not being dis
tributed medals or badges provided by
the last legislature for them.
The adjutant general in answer to one
of these sent the following letter, which
explains why there are no medals for
the members of the First Nebraska:
"D. W. Mc-Rae, Late Sergeant, Com
pany K, First Regiment, Nebraska Vol
unteer Infantry, Schuyler, Neb. Sir: I
have the honor to acknowledge receipt
of yours of the 3d Inst., informing me
that I had some badges that I was
distributing to the members of the First
regiment, Nebraska volunteers.
"In reply to the same I regret very
much to Inform you that this is not
true. I think it is based upon the law
passed by the legislature of 1899, pass
ing a bill authorizing the governor and
directing that he present in the name
of the state of Nebraska a suitable
medal In recognition of the bravery of
the citizen soldier. But this very patri
otic body which passed the above bill,
failed to appropriate any money to buy
the medals provided for by this act.
Very respectfully yours,
"P. H. BARRY, Adjt. Gen'l."
The adjutant general has very pro
perly designated the last legislature
as "very patriotic," for they themselves
have said It. They were republicans
that is the majority was republican
and the republicans are Just now try
ing to have the country believe that
anything republican or done by repub
licans Is "patriotic," no matter if it
does subvert the constitution; lay on
the shelf the Declaration of Independ
ence as old-fashioned; discard the gol
den rule and the doctrine of the broth
erhood of man as taught In the sermon
on the mount as "Inexpedient."
The republican legislature exhausted
Its patriotism in passing resolutions
for the First regiment and stopped
short of making an appropriation for
medals because the few dollars would
be counted against It In the sum total
of appropriations made for the expenses
of the state for the next two years.
The total amount of over $2,000,000
could not be increased for medals for
the First regiment, but it could be and
was Increased by several thousand for
private schemes engineered by the
same republican members who let their
patriotism evaporate before the money
was provided to carry out their empty
resolution. Some of these private
schemes have been realized upon since
that time, and still the- boys are with
out a 50-cent medal that would show
the appreciation of the republican leg
islature for their devotion- to country
and duty, under trying conditions. j
The First Nebraska regiment will one
day be suitably remembered and It is
to be hoped that the next legislature
will not be of the political complexion
which has only enough real love fer
the volunteer soldier to pass empty res
olutions and not enough to appropriate
a few dollars as an evidence of sincer
ity. In the meantime the medals will
remain unstruck and the boys will have
to wait.

Republicans Do Not Stand Up For
Their Fellow Sultan of Sulu.
Lincoln, Neb. (Special.) At the only
meeting the republicans have so far
held in this city that of Tuesday night
the speakers, including the candidate
for the supreme bench, declared their
Indorsement of the acts of the Mc
Klnley administration. The latter also,
in answer to an inquiry from the audi
ence if republicanism did not mean pa
triotism, said that was an incident. He,
however, took pains with all the other
speakers to make this impression. The
efforts in this direction seemed to im
press the hearers with the idea that
their attempt was to show that any
deed with the republican brand was by
reason of that brand purely patriotic,
it was observed then, and it has been
observed in other instances that the in
dorsement of "the administration" by
the speakers was in a grandly general
style. A wave of the hand and a gen
eral reference to the war with Spain
and the thing Is done.
There has not yet been heard here a
single republican speaker who attempts
to get down to particulars and defend
many of the acts of the administration,
Among these Indefensible acts is the
negatlation of the Sulu treaty by Gen
eral Bates. This is as clearly and purely
an administration act as it could well
be. The national congress has had
nothing to do or say in the matter. The
president and his appointees in the war
department have run the thing to suit
themselves. The recognition of slavery
on United States territory, and the
whole blessed business with polygamy
thrown in is administration and repub
lican. None of them have in public or
private attempted to defend this treaty.
however. None of them have attempt
ed to show that a recognition of slav
ery In United States territory, when
the constitution expressly forbids that
slavery shall not exist in such terri
tory, is patriotic. Perhaps they have
concluded that' the attempt would be
fruitless. None of them deny that thla
setting aside of the constitutional pro
vision is republicanism.
An effort has been made to get sev
era! of the prominent republicans of the
state to say anything they could In de
fense of the treaty. The World-Herald
representative was directed to offer to
them any space necessary in the paper
to make their defense of this treaty.
No one has yet been found who dared
to undertake the task.
Judge Reese, the republican candidate
for supreme Judge, who declared that
republicanism is patriotism, was invit
ed to make defense of the treaty. He
replied that he had not had time or op
portunity to read the text of the treaty
and would not have time from the mul
tifarious duties of his position at the
head of the university law school to
take it up and study it.
Chaplain Mallley was invited to make
defense of the treaty. He did not care
to go into It, and expressed his appre
ciation of the fairness of the World-
Herald In offering its space to repub
licans who wished to defend It.
Chairman Tefft of the republican
state central committee was given the
same Invitation, and after consideration
for some time, asked that the Invita
tion be put in writing.
The result of strenuous efforts among
the representatives of the party that
declare their organization is devoted to
the interests of the country, failed to
find one who would understake .to de
fend this treaty, which is Indorsed by
them, but which is repugnant to the
constitution on which the government
they say they love is founded.

Washington, D. C (Special.) Ad
miral Dewey has elected to accept a
house in Washington, already con
structed, Instead of having one built
for his occupation. In compliance with
the invitation of the committee which
has in charge the Dewey home work
he called at the office of Acting Sec
retary Allen in the Navy department
to indicate his preferences in the matter
of a residence. There were present, be
sides Mr. Allen, Assistant Secretary
Vanderlip, Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Heath and General Corbin.
The admiral was officially informed ol
the purpose of the people of the United
States to present him with a home in
Washington, He frankly expressed his
gratification at the tender, which he im
mediately accepted. He said, had ths
proposed home been the gift of a few
wealthy men, he would feel indisposed
to accept it. But he understood the
fund had over 43,000 subscribers, In
dicating that the home was really to be
the gift of the American people, and as
such he would accept it with as much
pleasure as he had the sword bestowed
upon him by congress. He then talked
upon the location of the residence.
The admiral showed a decided pref
erence for the section in which he had
made his home during his former de
tail of duty in Washington. He wished
the home te be located in the northwest
section, somewhere west of Sixteenth
street, and not too far north, thus in
dicating the neighborhood of his former
residence and the clubs where he had
spent a good deal of his leisure time.
First of all, he wanted the house at the
earliest possible moment, so that he
might "go in and hang up his hat at
once," as lie put it. Of course that pre
cluded the idea of erecting a house to
meet his special need.
He expressed his ideas as to the char
acter of the home he desires and asked
that the house be modest enough in ap
pointments and cost to permit of the
retention of a sufficient sum of money
from the purchase fund to defray the
expense of furnishing it.
The committee listened attentively to
all of these wishes and saw no reason
why each and all could not be granted.
The admiral is going to New York to
morrow and will stop over if possible
to see the yacht races on his way to
Shelburn Farms, Vt. He expects to
return to Washington within a week.
Meanwhile the house committee, hay
ing invited written proposals of prop
erties, will go through the list carefully
and hopes to be able to present to the
admiral on his return as many as half a
dozen available houses, from which he
may make a personal selection.
The fund at the disposal of the com
mittee now amounts to $50,000 and it is
earnestly desired that this sum may be
substantially increased during the tim
remaining before the purchase.
MULES FIND A WATERY 6RAVE.
Roosevelt Likely to Come.
Washington, D. C (Special.) It Is
stated tonight that Governor Roosevelt
has about decided to accept the Invi
tation of the state central committee
of Nebraska to give two days to the
campaign in that state. His visit, of
course, will be subject to the . dates
of the state central committee, but It Is
now believed that October 22 and 23
will suit the New York governor the
best, In which case he will speak in a
number of towns from the rear end of
a special train, which will probably
take him through the most populous
sections of the state.
The case In the supreme court which
will probably excite the most Interest
from a Nebraska standpoint is that of
Henry Bolln, plaintiff In error, on ap
peal from the Nebraska supreme court.
Oennral John C. Cowln Is on record as
attorney for the late city treasurer of
Omaha, but Is understood to have only
entered the appeal as Bolln's attorney,
Mr. West of Omaha, Is not a member of
f-'ie supreme court bar. Mr. Bolln,
writing from the Nebraska penltentl
nry, asks when his case will be reached,
hs he cannot receive anything definite
through his attorney. The letter was
upon penitentiary paper and Bolln gave
his penitentiary number, which Is cus
tom ary.
Turns Cut a Fusion Meeting
Lincoln, Neb. (Special.) There was
another attempt tonight to make a
showing that would lend color to the
republicans' false pretense that the uni
versity students are for Reese. This,
as did the similar attempt with the law
students, turned a failure and reacted
on the republicans with telling force.
An official bulletin, signed by Acting
Chancellor Berry, was posted, calling
for "a mass meeting of university stu
dents at 7:30 this evening to organize
a Reese club." The "mass meeting"
was held at the place designated in
the call. The meeting was called to
order at 7:45 and the officers were duly
elected. These are: William Morrow,
president; Richard James, an ex-member
of the First regiment, vice presi
dent; C. J. Piatt, secretary; C. O.
French, treasurer, and E. W. Brown,
sergeant-at-arms.
The gist of the proceedings lies In the
fact that all of the foregoing are bl
metallists and fusion men out and out
A committee on resolutions was ap
pointed, consisting of three populists,
N. M. Graham, chairman; Ray Harris
and M. M, Alexander. This committee
was instructed to report at the nest
meeting, to be held nest week.
The fusion men captured the meet
ing by virtue of their overwhelming
majority In the university, and the or
ganisation of a Reese club from a mass
meeting of the university students was
shown to be Impossible, for the reason
that the mass la not for him.
Trained Pack Animals Bound For
Manila Lost In Storm at Sea.
Washington, D. C. (Special.) A ca
ble message from General Otis to the
war department brings word of the
loss of several hundred horses and
mules on the transport Slam. The
message follows: j

department that the mules which were
lost on the Siam were the trained pack
mules which were considered the most
valuable sent to the Philippines.
me Slam, which left Honolulu thirty-
one days ago, encountered the typhoons
early this week. One lasted forty hours
and most of the forage, which was on
deck, was swept overboard, all the
boats were smashed and the steamer
rolled tremendously in the trough of the
sea, although the officers made every
effort to bring her about.
The mules were hurled from side to
side and frightfully mangled and dis
emboweled. Their legs and necks were
broken and the wretched animals fell
in such a confused mass that the at
tendants were unable to relieve them.
In the meantime the deckioad was
washed off, the ship lightened and the
rolling Increased.
When the storm abated, the Injured
animals were killed and their carcasses
thrown overboard. When the Slam ar
rived her propeller was high out of the
water and the wrecks of her boats
were hanging from the davits.

Will Take Charge of a Concern In
Omaha.
Omaha, Neb. (Special.) There Is ev
ery probability that the plate glass
trust, controlling nearly the entire out
put of plate glass in the United States,
will be represented by a branch house

of glass In the United States, and Is
tne backbone or the trust, a number of
smaller manufactories having been

cities of the east and middle west.
Mr. eKnnard said there had been ne
gotiations looking to the purchase or
transfer of his establishment, but until
final arrangements were completed on
Monday he would not be In a position to
discuss the matter. The transaction Is
practically assured, he said, but hitches
might occur to declare arrangements
off. Mr. Kennard said he was not al
liberty to state the sum Involved In
the transaction nor the style of the
new Arm. These details will be an.
nounoed Monday. He said he Intended
to take a needed vacation after the sale
Is made, but would probably engage In
business again In the near future.

business for nearly twenty years and
has built up an extensive trade, Mp
plying a large part of the northwestern
territory. Hie stock la valued at efcent
$76,000.
