ARMY REORGANIZATION.
General Miles Gives His Views on the
Subject in Brief.

Washington, Sept. General Miles
came to the war department at 10
O'Clock, and, after spending a short
time in his room at army headquarters,
went to the office of the secretary of
war.
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn was at
the desk Of Secretary Alger and was
talking with Governor Atkinson Of
Georgia and Adjutant General
|Corbin, when General Miles en-
tered. The latter was accom-
panied by a member Of his staff.
After the gentlemen had shaken hands
and the business with the governor was
transacted, Mr.. Meiklejohn and Gener-
all Miles chatted for some time on gen
eral topics, and the campaign in Porto
Rico and the return of the command
ing general. Shortly afterwards the
general left the department.
Speaking Of the future of the army,
General Miles said there were a num-
Der Of matters which required careful
and deliberate consideration with re-

New York, Sept. "a cable to the
Herald from Manila says:
General Aguinaldo, in his capacity
as president or dictator, in calling a
meeting of the Filipino congress, has
disclosed the fact that he has planned
to have complete control of that body
from the start. He win obtain control
by appointing a majority of the rep
resentatives of the various districts.
This so-called congress is to meet in
Maiolos on Oct. 10, so hat Aguinaldo
will have ample time in which to
choose the men who will uphold him
in his dictatorship. With a pretense
OF fairness, A~guinaldo provides in his
decree calling the congress to assemble
that Sraniards who have resided in the
Philippine islands for ten years may
exercise the right of suffrage in the
selection of repreae ntative5. In dis
tricts where no revolution has taken
place, AguiIaldo will himself choose
the representatives, and it rs by this
meal that he will obtain full control.
The revolution has been confined to
the island of L.uZon and a small section
of Mindanao. On these two islands only
will a vote be taken in choosing repre-
sentatives in the congress. The vote
on the island Of Mindanao win be con-
fined to the small section where the ma
tilps hnVa hpan in Iynlt The ipSIlr-
gents will easily control the selection of
representatives in these sections. so
that the right of suffrage conferred up
on Spaniards who have resided in the
no bearing ON the election.
Since Aguinaldo mas conferred upon
himself the authority to choose repre-
sentatives from the districts where no
revolt has taken place, there will be no
possible chance for any move to wrest
the leadership from him.
So far as this congress is concerned
his authority will be as absolute as that
which Spain has exercised. Santa Cruz,
the last position held by the Spaniards
on Manila bay, has been taken by the
insurgents. who have followed up their
success by wreaking vengeance upon
some OF the priests of that section. This
took the form of requiring the priests
TO do penance' by standing on the
roadside for many hours. A story
comes from Tia. in the northern part
of the island Of Luzon, about the cruel
treatment of a Spanish bishop by rebel
sympathiZers. The prelate was beaten
with clubs and compelled to disclose
the hiding place of the money belong
ing to the church.
The insurgents are strongly fortify-
ing Malolos, where A~guinaido has tenn
porarily established the capital Of the
rebel government.
That the insurgent leader is bent up
ON mischief becomes daily more appar-
emit. An American officer Of high rank
has informed me that a crisis in af-
fairs cannot be delayed many days, a
fact which he says should be fully con-
sidered by the government at Wash
ington

SIOUX CITY, Ia, July 19.-(SpeciaI)-
The district court has held that the $500, 900
tax voted by Sioux City to assist in the con-
struction of the combination bridge across
the Missouri river at this place is constitu-
tlonal' There was directly involved some
thing like 5000, although the question of
the constitutionality of the entire tax was
involved. 1t was alleged by the plaintiffs
that inasmucb as the bridge was not wholly
In Iowa the tax was irregular; that the
bridge was a public highway partially in
another state, and that the election was
not legal in all its phases. The court held
that the fact that the bridge spanned a
great stream OF water, joining two states
and affording passage for pedestrians, wag-
ons' street cars and railroad trains, it was
more of a public highway than if it was
merely in aid of a railroad leading out nj
the city, and the laws OF Iowa permit a city
TO vote a tax in aid of railroads. The tax
was voted in 1894 and the bridge was COM
pleted and accepted by the city in January.

SEATTLE, July 19.-The North American
Trading and Transportation company's
steamer, Roanoke, arrived here this after
noon from st. Michaels with $40 passengers
and about three tons of gold, which reduced
to dollars amounts to between a million and
a half and two millions. OF this amount the
Canadian Bank of Commerce had 5000
ounces and the North American Trading and
Transportation company 10000 ounces.
Probably fifty per cent of the returning
miners have fortunes averaging $4,000,

amounts.

BURGLARS RAID A POSTOfFICE
Postmaster Seriously Wounded When
He Interferes with Their
Proceedings.

ST. LOUIS, July ia special to the Post
Dispatch from Webster City, Ia, says: The
postottice at Radcliffe was robbed just before
daylight today and e. E. Drake,
who was sleeping in the office, was seriously
wounded by the burglars, who had entered
and blown open the safe with dynamite.
They then rified 1t of its contents. The ex-
plosion awakened the postmaster. who arose
and fired several times, and it is thought
that one shot took effect, as a trail Of blood
was found today. The burglars returned the
fire, one of their bullets striking Drake in
the shoulder. The burglars then escaped on
a handcar. II is believed they are the three
men who have been operating extensively
hereabouts recently. No estimate can be
placed on the amount taken from the safe.
as Drake Is too badly wounded
to make one. He is known 10 have had a
large sum in the safe. which was used by
the people of Radcliffe and vicinity as a safe

REFUNDING THE CITY BONDS

Matter of Providing the Means,
BIG SLICE OF DEBT FALLS DUE IN OCTOBER
seventy Thousand Dollars Of Seven

is n Sinking Fund of
About $4,000.
C SLICE OF DEBT FALLS DUE IN OCTOBER

On October l outstanding bonds to the
amount of 10000 issued by the city will
fall due and the council is taking stems
to provide for their payment. The fund
available for the retirement of these bonds.
the city officials estimate, will by October
De about $4,000 and the remainder will be
provided for by refunding. 1t Is proposed
10 issue new bonds to the amount OF $780,
oOo. The matter has been placed in the
hands OF the finance committee of the city
council with instructions to report at the
next meeting. There has never been any
question raised as to the validity of these
bonds which fall due next October, as at
the time they were issued the city's in
debtedness, inclusive Of its entire obliga-
lions, was considerably under the constitu-
tional limit. j. j. Shea in his Injunction
suit against the city does not include these
bonds in the list of outstanding obliga-
tons, the validity of which he a~ssails.
The bonds were issued by the city in
the latter part of September, 1878, the orig
inal amount being $4,000, and were for
the purpose of paying bonds then becoming
due on October of that year, known as the
$50, 900 loan and the $40, 900 loan, known as
the fire bonds, and optional bonds of the
$25, 900 loan OF 1871 and of the Collins judg-
HneHl DOuu lOan. Inc DOnuS carried Z per
cent interest, which was payable semi-an-
nually at the Metropolitan bank in New
York. These bonds, unlike other issues of
the city, were not optional and with the
exception of 81 1000 the city has had no
opportunity to retire any of them, as the
eastern parties holding them had no desire
to part with securities which were drawing
Z per cent interest. A little over a year
ago the city was able to retire 81, 600 OF
these bonds, which were held by local par
ties and who desired to sell them.
BY issuing new refunding bonds for $50,
600 the city will save 2ls per cent interest
on this amount as the new bonds, it is ex.
pected, can be tloated at Az per cent. The
new issue is to become due October 1, 1918
with the privilege of payment after Octo-
Der 1, 1902.
AS soon as the Shea suit is settled the
city will in all probability take the same
steps to refund its outstanding indebted.
ness, which, it is believed, can be done al
the same rate of interest.

FARMERS AND THEIR COLLEGE.
, Plan Adopted in Iowa to Get Them

ran adopted in Iowa to Get Them
Together.
AMES, Ia, July 19.-(Special "A new
plan to extend the usefulness of the Iowa
Agricultural college has been devised, which
promises to make that great educational in
stltutlon OF immense use to the Iowa far
mer in a way never before attempted. The
plan suggested, and which will, at least. he
given a thorough trial, is the running of
cheap excursions from different parts of
the state to Ames, that the farmers of
W who are especially interested in the
institution, may inspect the work in prog
ress there and receive the benefits of the
improved methods of farming which are be-
ing devised by the skillful and scientifically
trained corps of teachers in charge of the
Inherent departments of the school.
The excursions which have already heen
Planned are to be run over the Northwestern
road. They will be mainly from northern
and Iowa. They are being ar
ranged for by c.. F. Curtiss, and it is hoped
mat the other roads can be induced to give
