THE GROWING UNP0PULAR|TY
Of GENERAL CORB|N

Washington Correspondence of the Hous-
ton Post.
There are further developments in the
fight which is being made by the late
volunteer officers against Adjutant Gem
eral Corbin. He has got himself tangled
scared, and they are going after mis- scalp
in the most approved fashion. He has
brought down on his head the combined
wrath of those men who have failed to
obtain commissions under the call for
troops for the Philippines. large num-
Der of these men who remained in Wash
ngton all summer relying on the prom
ises of the president and General Corbin
that they would be preferred for the new
commissions, have been quietly holding
meetings, and in army circles and clubs
the subject is one of considerable discus
sion. The grievance has taken the shape
of written protest, and when the presi-
dent returns here committee will lay
the matter before him and ask what he
is going to do about it, 1t will be up to
1t remains to be seen whether he will in
dorse the methods of his Svengal who is
playing politics, or whether he will COM
pei him to make good some of the prom
ises he and Corbin have made to these
men.
The disappointed officers are not willing
to accept Corbin's explanation. that all
the selections of the new officers are made
by the president, but insist that Corbn is
really the appointing power and that the
president merely approves. They will de-
mand to know, If Corbin is only an autom-
atom to carry out the directions of the
president, why he exceeded his authority
and promised commissions to the returned
officers and at the same time advised
them not to Use political influence, but
to depend upon their excellent records
then before him-for preferment. They
will also insist that they were assured by
the president himself, Secretary Alger and
General Corbin that they were in the lat
ter's hands and had right to expect and
would receive appointment before civil
ians.
They say they do not believe the presi-
dent will accept the responsibility for this
betrayal of confidence, any more than he
accepted the responsibility for Secretary
Ayers conduct, and therefore they pro-
pose to wage war on Corbin for peddling
out these commissions, they believe, to
the politicians who are expected in re-
turn to give him the other star by pro-
noting him to major general.
This bitter feeling against Corbin is not
by any means confined to Washington,
but extends even to the Philippines. The
following extract from a letter from a
mustered out volunteer at Manila, re-
ceived yesterday by an officer in this
city, shows that Corbin has also made

f it could express itself. the Ameri-
the sultan of Sulu would cry aloud
for somebody to come and haul it down.
The American flag has always been
fairly choice of the company it keeps
and it must feel singularly out of place
in the Sulu archipelago where slavery
held as wise and beneficent institutions.
This Sulu business is a hard thing for
the imperialists to get around; as a
matter of fact, they don't try to get
around it-they try to ignore it. But
why" asks the New York Evening
Post, do the religious papers conceal
from their readers the fact that slavery
and polygamy are now thriving under
the American flag in the Sulu archi-
pelago? Perhaps the editors are really
ignorant that such is the fact 1t has
been so carefully burked in the Tribune
and other head-in-thes sand newspapers
that it may not have reached the eccle-
siastical sanctums as yet. 1t cannot be
that Christian ministers will hold their
peace when they find Mckinley annex
ing slavery and polygamy, and promis-
ing not to interfere with them" The
Post must possess it's soul with patience
the best way it knows how. The pulpit
and the religious press cannot be so re-
miss in their duty as to refuse to dis
cuss the matter once they have ascer-
tanned the facts. Mr.. Mckinley will
hear from them before long

lam Mckinley, president of the United
States, is closer to organized labor than
he ever got before. Mr.. Mckinley may
or may not ever be obliged to look for
a job as a bricklayer or stonemason,
but if that time ever should come he
may be assured that the union will reg
ulate his wages and protect his inter-
ests to the extent of its ability. Mr..
Mckinley was compelled to join the
union in order that he might lay the
corner stone of Chicago's new federal
building. 1t seems that the rules of the
union forbid anybody except a member
handling a trowel on any building on
which union labor is employed; and as
the man who lays the corner stone will
have to use trowel. the president
joined the union to keep the contrac tor
out of hot water. 1t is hardly likely
that Mr.. Mckinley has any use for the
union, or that the union has any use
for Mr.. Mckinley, but the laws of the
land and the rules of the union must
be obeyed. Let us hope that the new
member will pay his dues promptly and
not subject himself to fine or expulsion
by working overtime.

dent prosperity partly as the result of
the fair now in progress. l visited the
fair last Monday. 1t is an immense and
highly creditable exposition The chief
feature of the evening was a reproduce
ton of the battle of Manila, Aug. "a,
1898. This was put on by large bodies
of troops, some representing America
and some Spanish troops, with wealth
of landscape effects and tons of red fire
and fireworks. The whole scene was
enacted. even to the bombardment by
Dewey's ships, and closing with the
Spanish troops on the run. The affair
was most realistic. Immense crowds
are attending the exposition.
Il talked with many influential and
representative men on my trip, and
what ! gathered shows the sentiment
of that section of the northwest to be
strongly opposed to President McKin-
ley's imperialistiC policy. This question
seems to have crowded all other ques-
tions to the background. The silver
men l found to be as strong in their
faith and as thoroughly convinced of
the importance of the silver issue as
ever but the direct and immediate de-
mands of the imperialistic issue have
obscured the silver and all other ques-
lions temporarily"

Given half Interest In Husbands
Farm.
DECISION BY JUDGE HILES
PROPERTY SAID TO BE WORTH
$4,000.
Defendant Was Charged In His
Wife's Complaint With Having
Taken a Plural Wife and With
Sustaining Polygamous Relations
Mrs. Owen Hogeps Case.

The issues in the somewhat cele-
brated divorce suit of Jensine Johnson
against janis H, Johnson were set
tied yesterday by Judge Hiles award
ing plaintiff the relief prayed for in
her complaint. The decree gives plain
tiff an undivided half interest in de-
fendant's farm at Granger, valued at
about So, 600, costs of suit and 500 ad-
ditional attorneys fees, the payment
of these charges to be a lien on de-
PENDANTS half interest in the farm.
Mrs. Johnson was also given the Gus
tody of her minor son.
The plaintiff applied for the divorce
upon the ground that her husband had
taken a. young plural wife, Elsie Maria
Peterson, on Jan. 10, 1888, and that
since five, years ago johnson had re-
fused to live with plaintiff and had
neglected to provide for her support.
1t was also alleged in the complaint
that Johnson had committed adultery
and that he polygamously cohabited
with his plural wife continuously dur
ing the past eleven years. Plaintiff
and defendant were married in this
city in 1860.
All the material allegations in the
wife's complaint, except the one refer
ring TO defendants polygamous rela-
lions, We're denied by Johnson, and on
this point his answer was silent. At
the trial two weeks ago the question
was asked defendant Who did you
take to live with you on your farm?"
But the question was objected to on
the ground that defendants reply
might tend to incriminate him, and
for this reason Judge Hiles sustained
the objection.
The evidence tended to show that
Johnson had given his plural wife a
small home in this city, a piece of
property which brought her an income
of So a month and occasionally sent her
some farm produce, but that he seldom
or never called to see her.
Wilson & Smith were plaintiffs at
torneys and n. V. Jones was counsel
for Johnson.
