OLD MEN IN THE SENATE
evidence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 It is poor argument against sending Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, back to the senate for another six years to say that he is over seventy years old. The Scrip tural limit of usefulness does not hold in these days. Many men have done their best work after three score and ten had been reached. As to Senator Hawley, he is more likely to be useful legislator at eighty than any one at any age who has yet been mentioned for his seat.

THE PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION
The Main Body May Get Away Thi,
 Week

San Francisco, May 16-General Otis, who will be second to General Merritt in command Of the Manila troops, is expected to arrive here to- night. The vessels char cred to trans port the supplies and men to Manila are not yet ready to receive either. Work on the City of PeKin is being rushed, but she will not be ready for several days.
 A large force of men are at work on the Australia, but it will take several days to fit her for the reception of Uncle Sam's men. It is expected she will be ready to sail by Friday. There Is little work being done on the City of Sydney, and it will take at least a week to fit her for reception to the orient.
 Captain Long, United States assist ant quartermaster of the department, said this evening that arrangements for the departure of troops were be- ing made as fast as possible. He could give no information as to the date of sailing. but thought the trans ports would get away this week.

THE YELLoWNEss OF IT.
Something More of Bulletins and Bull
 letin Factories.

A few days ago the San Francisco Examiner published in long pica sur- rounded by an umbrageous border what purported to be a copy of mes sage from Ambassador Hay to tho New York Journal, the Examiners younger, but equally foolish and mem dacious brother, thanking the Journal for informing the government when the Spanish squadron was at CadiE. It Is not likely that MT. Hay ever sent such a message, and 1t Is still more unlikely that he would condescend to a denial of it; hence, it was sase enough to print 1t
 But if this government had relied on the Journal-Examiner's enterprise in locating the Spanish fleet there would have been tales of American disaster, for the Spanish fleet wns not at Cadiz at all. It turned up ct Mar unique the same morning that tho Examiner published the fulsome praise of itself and the Journal. Az a mat ter of fact, the government knew that the fleet was not at Cadiz and if MT. Hay sent the message to the Journal ascribed to him he was merely expressing thanks to the Journal for saying the squadron was at Cadiz. thereby affording the government def- nite assurance that it was somewhere else. The Examiner and the Journal are only two Of a trio of marvellous liars, to whom the war has offered great opportunity. The other and more silly one is the San Francisco Call whose pretended dispatch from Hons Kong 6 week ago saying that fifty three of Dewey's men had been killed, was the most heart1ess fake that had ever been perpetrated on the country. It brought grief to every family that had a representative in the Asiatic squadron. It filled the navy depart ment with pitifM inquiries from all parts of the country. The dispatch was made the subject of ono of the Call bulletins published in Phoenix and it may be said in favor of it that it was as reliable as any other is known to be when it is posted.
 Speaking of bulletins, there was the story on Sunday night of the capture of the Yale, which emanated from San Francisco and set the Pacific coast on fire. There have been scores of sensational stories nearly all sent out from the sam> source. and all proved to be without foundation. Every other of these baseless bulletins than those sent from the Call or the Ex- aminer have been traced back to the New York Journal. The Republican. by the way, is the only paper on the coast except the San Francisco Chron- icle and the Portland Oregonian which has not printed these bulletins or been imposed upon by them.

SCHOOL LAND CONTEST.

There has for some time been a con- froyersy between M. M. Bacon and Cattleman Ward over a tract of school
 land about sixty miles northeast of the city. The disputed tract embraces
 a Quarter section lying within broad
 expanse of territory which Ward has for some time occupied as a range for his Lazy Diamond" cattle The im- DrUvements on the quarter section con- siBt only of . house made of posts aud covered with Shakes" Bacon regu- larly leased the land of the super
 viSOrs last spring. Subsequently 1t appears that MT. Ward or some one in his interest held conference with him regarding the so-called house on the land, and a revolver was drawn. Then complaint was made to the su- pervisors by some ona A letter in Deply was received from Mir. Bacon yesterday in which he alluded to an accompanying map enclosed in & pas,e
 board sheath. The map proved to be a crayon drawing of the house. MT. Bacons letter was sarcastic. He re- ferred to MT. Ward as the Hon. Gent. and raised question as to the mean ing of the word, house. MT. Bacon said he had no use for it, that it was occupied mostly by the lazy diamond iop-eared cattle when it was not oc- cupied by tramps
 He then entered upon an interesting i disquisition regarding the difference between real and personal property | The posts of which this mansion was l constructed were taken from the sec tlon on which it stood.

Clubman's First Practical Experience
 With Army Discipline.

Washington, May 16.-A private let letter received here today tells how distinctions were levelled in the con- tingent of steeplechasers, foot ball players, cowboys, oarsmen, policemen, and old soldiers that left Washington on Saturday to join the rest of Col. Leonard Woods regiment of mounted rifemen, better known as "Roosevelt's Terrms," in Texas.
 A we'll known New York clubman who had enlisted in the regiment en- gagged . section in the sleeper attached to the train. He showed his Pullman ticket to the porter, and was escorted to the place assigned him. Just as he deposited hds baggage, Sergeant Thaddeus Higgins, an old cavalryman of the regiment service, who has charge of the party, tapped him on the shoulder.
 "Take these things back there" he said, jerking his thumb in the direc- tion of the ordinary day coaches pro- vided by the government for the troopers.
 The clubman looked surprised. It was his first experience in military discipline.
 That's where you belong" added Sergeant Higgins, with the thumb still pointed to the rear.
 The clubman was made of good stuff. He saluted, picked up his things and went back to the day coaches. He will not sleep at full length until the train arrives at San Antonio

Washington, June 1O.-Out Of the
maze of doubt and contradiction ~ to
the dispatch Of the first army of In
vasiOn to Cuba, one thing stands out
clearly. namely, that the government,
feeling strong in Its present position
and plan, Is moving cautiously and
with the deliberatiOn which II believes
will secure success unattended with
disasters. With this main purpose In
view. the army and navy are cooper
ating toward the dispatch OF the
troops, some 25.O0O In number. under
escort OF a strong fleet Of naval con-
vOys, made up Of sixteen warships
headed by the battleship Indiana.
Unattended by this strong feet. the
troops might have left last Friday.
when one strong naval convoy was
ready for this service. Since then,
however. reports have come as to the
presence OF Spanish ships In the
north Atlantic. Realizing that moth
ing was to be gained by haste. and
that the war was progressing steadily
towards success, II was determined
not to take the one small chance of
having our troops transports menaceti
by some scouting ships Of the enemy.
As result. the troops transports have
not proceeded to Cuba. either yester-
day or the day before. as has been re-
pentedly asserted. They are In readi-
ness TO go. but will not move until
the naval convoy Ia ready to accom-
pany them. assuring safe conduct
from Florida to the point Of destina-
