Wade Thomas Stirs Up Hutchinson
Reformatory Again.

Hutchinson, June 22.-The irrepressi-
BILE Wade Thomas, the negro who keeps
the reformatory from growing COM
monplace institution has again fallen
from grace. For some time the impress
sion has been growing upon Wade that
Everybody has it in for him. That is

institution and as a result he is again
in the dark cell. Wade's temper cannot
be controlled. He has a demon inside
of him that occasionally takes complete
possession.
Until some change in the law control
ling the institution is made Thomas
cannot be returned to the penitentiary,
and he will continue to be the main
question to solve in the management of
the refOrmatOry.

KANSAS BOYS ARRIVE.
There is Hurrying at Camp Merritt to
Get Away From Diphtherie.

San Francisco, June 22.-Despite all
announcements General Merritt has not
yet decided whether he will go with the
next fleet of transports or not. There
have been rumors that the general
would sail on the Indiana, the Newport
and a Pacific mail steamer to Hong
Kong; thence to Manila, but no plan
has yet been adopted. 1t is intimated,
however, that he will be taken to the
Philippines on the cruiser Philadelphia
should she be ready for sea within
reasonable time. One thing is certain
the general is preparing to depart and
if he should conclude to sail with the
next fleet he will be ready. The troops
cannot, however, get away before Sat
urday,
The loading of the vessels with quar-
termaster and commissary stores is go
ing forward as quickly as possible, and
some of the more enthusiastic of the Of
ffcers at work on them say that the
ships will be ready to sail by Thursday
and not later than Saturday at the
farthest. The general opinion, howev-
| err, among the leading authorities is
that it will be ten days before we can
salute another outgoing fleet.
Under orders from General Merritt a
board of army doctors today examined
the Pacific mail steamship Newport,
which arrived last Saturday from Pan
anna with the view of the vessels being
fitted up q hospital ship for the
Philippine expedition.
The Newport is one of the finest YES
sells on the coast and would well serve
| the purpose of being turned into a float
| ing hospital. The surgeons are doing
| everything in their power to stop a
| spread of diphtheria- Notices have
been sent to all regimenta1 surgeons to
| try to head off the dread disease. The
| sanitary condition of the camp is very
| bad and in the present circumstances
| could be little improved. The only sal
walton as it now appears is to hurry the
| troops to the transports and away from
| Camp Merritt. Today 1870 recruits ar
| rived for the Tennessee regiment, rails
| ing the number to LOG men per compa-
| ny. Two hundred recruits arrived for
| the Twentieth Kansas. With the 100
| who arrived last night, the troops COM
| plete the regiment.
The Monadnock arrived in the harbor
| yesterday afternoon from Mare Island.
[ Her consort, the Nero, is being coaled
/ and will be ready for sea within a few
| days. 1t has not been definitely given
out just what part these vessels will
| play in the war but it is generally be-
| lieved they will accompany the next
| expedition to the Philippines leave
| within a few days after the third fleet
sails

Gen. Aguinaldo Wants Freedom for
the Philippines.

London, June 21.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail, says:
United States Consul Wildman has
received no intimation from his govern
men with regard to the future of the
Philippines. General AguinaIdo desires
that the islands become an American
colony. He declares that if he cannot
be connected with the United States
she will insist upon a republic being
formed. If any other country than the
United States wishes to secure con-
troll of the Philippines, that country will
have to fight for it. The insurgents I'M
der Agunaldo now have 10, 500 rifles and
eight field pieces.

a great thing for the gun crews.

Department of Justice Renders Decis-
 ion in the Matter.

W ashington, November 3.-The depart ment of justice during the past few days has been importuned by large number of business men and lawyers to define the status of the involuntary feature of the bankruptcy law passed during the last ses- sion of congress Congress provided that when the voluntary feature of the measure should go into effect it should be accom- panied by a set of rules and orders form- ulated by the supreme court of the United States for it's execution. The supreme cougt not having compiled these rules and orders, some question was raised to whether the law, would be properly enforced at the time provided for, November l.
 The department of justice today. however, -eld that the absence of these orders will not materially affect the enforcement of the law and that they are not absolutely es- sential to the execution of the act, and that there is no need to wait until the su- preme court rules.

 Now, you are perhaps expecting me here to make the application of these re- marks, but ignorance, sheer ignorance, this time, mean my own, prevents my words having much value. There was a lady re- porter, who in the early part of my arrival here in America, tried hard to get my opin- ion of American women. 'But," said, T don't know anything about her." Well, she pointed out that that was no objection to my sup- plying column. Well" said, ''I know that as an interviewer the American wo- man is charming. But even that did not satisfy her, and as I still protested that I knew nothing about American women, she asked: You have met American women abroad?" and I said, "Yes, I have met some," and added refectiveIy, "I did form an impression of the American women I had met abroad" Out flew her note book. her pencil kissed it lovingly, and she waited eagerly. "I formed the opinion" I said, "of the American women I met abroad that they were not stay-at-homes."
