IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Though our troops were disappointed
in the expectation that they entertained at
the time we went to press last week of
bagging Aguinaldo, yet they have gained
very substantial advantages. They have
now driven the rebels out of the thickly-
settled lowlands into the sparsely-peopled
mountains. This will deprive them of
subsistence, and greatly assist in bring
ing them to terms to avoid starvation.
AS long as the war could be kept up in the
fiat, swampy, rice country, which has a
dense population of about 200 to the square
mile-or more than double that Of Ohio
they had abundant supplies at hand all
the time for as large a force as they wanted
to keep in the field. Now, however, they
have been driven northward, out of the rice
country, into the Piedmont tobacco country,
where the population does not average
so to the square mile, and the people, in
stead of devoting all their energies to rails
ing food, produce tobacco, good as lux
ury, but not useful in supporting an army
Our cavalry has reached the Cayagan
River, the largest stream in Luzon, and
which can be made available for bringing
up their supplies. This relieves our troops
from dependence upon the railroad, and
greatly facilitates the further progress of
the campaign.
awe have at last the bulk Of the popula
ton inside our lines, and freed from the
mination Of Aguinaldo, SO that they
viii become separated from the rebels and
quickly pacified. We are garrisoning
the places as We advance, and giving the
people assurance Of protection from the
marauding Tagals. The further north
Aguinaldo is driven the worse his situation
becomes, and all semblance Of an organized
ar my must soon disappear under the pres
sure of starvation and inability to oppose
any resistance to movements directly
against his vital points. A few weeks Of
the good weather now at hand will reduce
all the opposition to isolated guerrilla
bands, the hunting down and extermina-
ton of which will afford congenial en-
ploymentfor ambitious young Second Lieu
tenants eager for adventure.

Pete came back:
you say that there's cap on this bum

a cap, and me and Sandy have looked IL
all over,
out the plunger in the point. When that
strikes anything hard it busts a cap in the

He resumed:
'Ide go through fire and water, and to

You are worth all that the best man alive
kin
A shell burst near with such terrific
crash that Shorty sprang to his feet, and
put the trunk of the tree between him and
the rebel line. The whole regiment rushed
to aims. Shorty glanced around, and
saw Pete and Sandy standing aghast,. and
surveying the ruins of stump, and limbs
falling from the trees.
Here, you imps o Satan" yelled Shorty,
you've gone and busted that shell, have
you? Either o you hurt?"

WHO Is RIGHT.

AS lawyer President Harrison has no
superior in the United States. Probably
he never had a superior in all our history.
Secretary Noble stood, and still stands,
at the head of the Trans Mississippi bar.
Commissioner Raum is a lawyer of the
highest attainments, and was the best
Commissioner of Internal Revenue we ever
had. His interpretations and applications
of the Internal Revenue laws, at the trouble
some formative stage, were almost flaw
less, and have stood unquestioned ever
since
All Of these eminent men said that the
act of June 27, 1890, meant one thing.
Henry Clay Evans, man absolutely
without legal training, says it means
something entirely different.
Who is probably right?

Pete and Sandy Monkey" With a Percus-
sion Shell.

Terminated by the hot. strong coffee, the
regiment resumed its work of watching the
opposite intrenchments with renewed zeal,
and the rebels could not so much as pro
trIde gum-barrel through the slit between
the top of the works and the head-log with
out getting several shots from the eager
watchers in or lines.
The rebels We're repressed, but still vigi-
liant, as Pete Skidmore found out to his
alarm. In spite of Shorty's anxious
cautionings Pete would persist in rising up
to peek over the head-log. and expose him
self in other ways. Unwittingly he go his
head considerably above the log, and dis
covered this fact when he was knocked
back into the ditch. making great splash
as he fell. The blood streamed from his
forehead. Shorty, with an exclamation Of
dismay, crawled toward him, but before he
could reach him, Pete, to his great relief,
raised up little, and passed his hand
wonderingly along the red track of the
bullet through his hair. Seeing the nature
of the injury, the concern of the rest of the
company found relief in a laugh at Pete's
dazed look.
The National tribune., 1899-11-23
a BLOW AT a VETERAN.

For months Commissioner Evans has
been parading that he had at the head Of
the Beard Of Review Col. Ferdinand D.
Stephenson, a man who went out in 1861
in the 49th H., rose TO be Captain, was
severely wounded, and came out of the war
Colonel of the 151st Ill.
OF course, to those who understand the
workings of the Pension Bureau, this
fact has no significance. Col. Stephenson
was merely clerical subordinate, and had
no more to do with the policy of the Bureau
than a Sergeant has to do with the march
ing Of regiment, or a clerk in the Treas
ury has to do with the 16 to question.
He was there simply TO obey orders, and to
see that those under him obeyed the orders.
But after the GAR. Committee on Pen
sions made their second visit to the White
House with the discoveries they had made
in the Pension Bureau, and after Mr.
Evans had been hastily summoned to the
White House, he returned to the Pension
= Bureau in temper, and reduced Col.
Stephenson TO a desk in the Eastern Di-
vision.
The reason given was that he had fur
nished the Pension Committee with facts
that should have been suppressed.

Pete, rs he peered eagerly through the
smoke to note the effects of his shot. Il
hit it, and it went down, and then bobbed

The whole crowd was now squirting
through under the log at the battling hat.
Il begin to smell a rat" said 81, who
now remembered that they had not been
receiving any return shots for some time.
He put his hat on the muZzle of his gun
and slowly raised it above the head-log.
Shorty did the same.
Not single shot, though the whole
crowns We're exposed, giving the falrest
kind of marks.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ADDREs

Commander-in-Chief A. d. Shaw made
the opening speech of his administration
Saturday evening, Nov II, at the armory
of the list n. Y. n. G., in New York City,
in the presence of about 1000 auditors.
1t was a magnificent address, and did him
and the Order the greatest credit. 1t pre-
scented the arraignment of the veterans
agoinst the mismanagement of the Pension
Bureau in the strongest and most forcible
way, and yet with the greatest dignity
and self-control. We think that it is SO
important that it should be given our read
ers in full rather than as an abstract, and
will, therefore, publish it in supplement
in our issue of Nov. 80. 1t will well repay
reading, and should have the widest cir
culation possible.

A One Man Duel.
Golfers " eehlY.

One of the stories that the late James
Payn, the novelist, liked most to tell was
about what he called an American duel,
wherein two duelists, with one second
met within doors and drew lots to decide
which should shoot himself. A was the
unlucky man, and without word he re-
tired into the next apartment to carry out
the purpose OF self-destruction. B and the
second both very much moved by the
tragedy of the situation, remained in
listening attitudes. At last the pistol was
heard. They shuddered with emotion and
remorse, when suddenly in rushed the sup
posed dead man, triumphantly eXclaiming,
"Missed, by heaven!"

REPRESENTATIVE ROBERTS is in a
bad way. The Election Committee of the
House will undoubtedly make report in
favor Of his being denied a seat, and the
Gentle Democrats of his District refuse
to stand by him, on the ground that he did
not make good his prediction promises
to clear himself of the charge of active
polygamy. They declare that he has

bonds.
