The statement is made that
the members of the populist legis-
lature secured five thousand railroad
passes. This a be very readily
realized when it is taken into con-
sideration that hundreds of passes
were thrown into Day county alone.
1t was a poor populist worker that
did not carry a pass to Pierre in his
inside pocket, "Yell railroads"

salvation.

PRESIDENT IN THE SOUTH.
Nations Executive Speaks of Disappearing
.eciIonalism and Pays Tribnte.

Atlanta. Dec. 1i.-According to
schedule, after pleasant trip the
presidential party arrived this morn
ing. The president. cabinet and other
members of the party received a very
cordial welcome
The Prettiest event of the dav was
the floral parade. The Legislature in
joint session received the president,
who in his remarks before that body.
said: Sectional lines no longer mar
the map of the United States. The
differences were long ago settled. and
time has now come in the evolution of
sentiment and feeling, under the
providence of God, when in spirit of
fraternity we should share with you
in the care Of the graves of the con-
federate soldiers. The cordial feeling
now happily existing between north
and south prompts this generous act. "
The presidents reference to the con-
federate dead was greeted with the
widest applause. Gen. Wheeler fol-
lowed the president and received a
most enthusiastic reception. Gems.
Lawton and Young spoke briefly and
received a warm welcome.

REPORT OF GEN. MILES.
The Entire Period OF HOstnItIes Between
the United states and Spain Covered
In HIS Document

New York, Nov. "A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Washing
ton says: Maj Gen Nelson A. Miles
has completed and submitted to the
war department his report covering
the entire period Of hostilities between
the United States and Spain It could
not be learned at the war depar tment
whether this report in its entirety viii
be given out for publication. 1t is
binted that certain portions Of the re-
port may be withheld The sum and
substance Of the reasons for withhold
ing IL, 1t Is asserted, Is the fact that
the report is said to deal squarely
with matters that certain officials pre-
fer 70 keep in the background
Friends of Gen Miles who claim TO
be cOgnizsnt Of the contents Of the re-
port say It is exhaustive in dealing
with the minutest details, and many
things which have not been clear 70
the general public as to the conduct
Of the war are fully and cOmprehen-
sively explained That the report Is
thorough aud exhaustive is shown BY
the fact that covers nearly 200 sheets
Of closely typewriter manifold paper
and includes all dispatches sent by
and received by Gen Miles Tt, in
fact, covers all the part taken by the
army in the war and deals in the most
minute details with the period begin
ming with Gen. Miles landing in Cuba
and until he left the island OF Porto
Rico to come home
The reference to the Santiago cam
paign alone takes up many pages The
invasion and occupancy Of Porto Rico
is given in detail 1t is also men
toned that Gen. Miles conferred with
Admiral Sampson and asked the admi-
raj to protect the landing Of United
States troops on Cuban soil, which was
done
The report also refers to the warn
ing Gen Miles gave 10 Gen Shafter
and in plain English eriticises Gen.
Skaters conduct Of the campaign IN
Santiago The report only makes
brief mention Of the work Of the in
spector generals department. which
Gen Miles thinks was satisfactory In
SOAR as the inspector general had
power and authority to act From
this the inference is drawn that the
inspector general was curtailed BY au-
thority greater than his in the conduct
Of his work
Contained in the report are true
copies of every telegram that passed
between Gen Miles and the war de-
partmenE None Of them IS curtaiIed
or mutilated and e IS said If the report
is published IN full many Of these fele-
grams and portions Of others VIII be
made public for the first time These

STRONGER FORCE NEEDED.
American Troops In Manila Have = Prs-
sentiments OF Mo-s TrOuble-yIsua
Of Mal. slmPssn.

Washington, Nov. S-Maj. Simpson
Of Gen. Merritt's staff, has just returned
from Manila, and, though personally
he does not seem to fear serious trouble
with the forces Of Aguinaldo, he says
there is a distinct sentiment among
the United States troops that there
may be more trouble and that more
troops may be needed AguinaldO's
force is reckOned at about 50, 000 and
Mai Simpson freely admits that the
rebels are in control Of the island
Of Luzon. The recent attack on
uoilo by the forces Of Aguin-
aldo recalled to Maj Simpson the fact
that Aguinaldo had some transports
and that about 500 Of the Luzon troops
had been carried to the island Of
Panay. On the island Of Mindanao
the situation is not understood, as the
inhabitants are mostly MOhammedans-
Little or no investigation OF the situa-
ton there has been made by our army
Back in the hills of Luzoz many tribes
are almost unciFilized, and have never
felt the force of either the
insurgents or Spaniards To com
plicate the situation the priests
are now intriguing to make the rebels
discontinued with AguinaldO and to
set MP another insurgent chief Should
all the islands pass into the hands Of
the United States the situation might
be one of surprises. The fact that
AguinaldO's troops attacked IlOilO, ac-
cOrding to Mai. Simpson, shows that
Aguinaldo has not acquiesced in the
decision involved in the fall OF Manila
