These eleven cases were not, by any

Thirty to Forty Thousand More Troops
Will Now Get Discharged. r.:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The war de-
partment, in view of the assurances
that peace treaty would be signed, is
arranging to muster out more troops.
It is probable that from 10000 to 10000
volunteers will be mustered out as soon
as selections of regiments can be made.
There has been quite a demand for the
return of volunteers from Manila, but
no troops will be brought from
the Philippines unless they are
replaced by others. Many of the
volunteers at Manila, have asked
through the governors or congressman
of their states to be returned to the
United States, but the war department
has not been able to make any definite
promises during the tendency of the
peace negotiations. In view Of the ac-
ceptance of the American terms and the
removal of further possibilities Of re-
newal of hostilities is at an end,
the only necessity now is for troops to
garrison the island and preserve the
peace of our new possessions. It is
probable that the $4,000 or 10000 men
mustered out will include large num-
Der organized for service in Cuba, and
the force at Manila will be reduced
whenever General Otis reports affairs in
quiet state in the Philippines.

FAILED FOR A MILLION.
End of the Skyrocket Career of Grant
Gillett.


End of the skyrocl<et Career of Grant G.
Gillett.
ABEL1NE, Kan, Nov. PA failure
involving cattle interests throughout
the Southwest was precipitated here
during the day, when an attachment
suit for 900 was fled against Grant
c. Gillett of Woodbine by the Gillespie
Commission company of Kansas City.
Gillett controls thousands of cattle on
the Southwest ranges and his liabilities
are believed to be over 81, 100000.
The career of Grant G. Gillett has
been of the skyrocket order. He is but
81 years Of age and his operations have
startled the more conservative stock
men. Four years ago he lived on a
mortgaged quarter section Of land near
Woodbine, where he began in his cattle
trade by feeding steers for others.
In this he was successful, and on the
little ranch he laid, the groundwork of a
business which has enabled him to han
die over 2O0,OO0 cattle within the last
three years. His methods were as novel
as they were daring. Soon he seemed
TO have unlimited credit. He bought
great droves of cattle in Texas and
brought them north for sale and feeding.
Soon he organized his celebrated cow
boy band, composed of plainsmen in his
employ, and, when he rode about the
country in his special car, he took his
band Of musicians with him. He even
took them into Eastern cities, where
they attracted much attention.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-The United

Gray, announced the new bankruptcy
rules which it was authorized to frame

Boston, Nov. 29.-The manager of

doubts as to the safety of the steamer
Portland, which sailed from here Satur-

been seen. The only remaining harbor
which she could have reached is Prov
incetown, on Cape Cod, and news from
that port is anxiously awaited, as it is
still impossible to reach that port by
wire. She carried IS passengers and a

GOLD AND VIRTUE.

The attempt Of Senator EdmundS to
bolster up the dishonest policy of the
gold standard by linking gold with vir-
tue, brought forth an admirable editorial
from the Asheville Citizen, which APP
peared in these columns a few days ago.
Below we print another happy editorial
from the pen of Mr.. VIM. S. Pearson,
the accomplished editor of the Farmers
Friend. He writes:
'"1'hey are not two of n kind. All
poetry, fiction, history, and revelation
divorce them. They are not alike in
rarity even, for virtue is as common as
the household. The one is intrinsically
beautiful, the other has Il law given
power. tine use of which may or not be
beautiful, so resemblance fails there
Too often the one has been the corrupter
of the other and is so to this good hour
''The struggle of the new century will
be to array the virtue of the world
against the gold of the word-'manhood
against money, THE golden rule against
the rule of gold.
when angels prey upon garbage it
will be time to hook up gold and virtue
in the same harness"
