HOUSE MINORITY LEADERSHIP.
A LIVELY FIGHT AMONG THE DEMOCRATS
FOR THE EMPTY HONOR.


FOR THE EMPTY HONOR.
Washington, Dec (SpeciaD. Democrats
are badly stirred up over the question Of leader
ship 1t is a funny fight all around. The
practice UP to the last Congress- when Mr.
Bailey. of Texas was chosen In a discordant
manner to lead" men who did not want 10 be
led was for the minority party to select quietly
in caucus some one on whom the empty honor
Of a vote for Speaker was conferred All that
this vote carried with it was the sentiment Of
the party that when the compliment could be
efective-that is, when there should be Con-
gress in which the party had majority-the
person so voted for ought 10 receive the support
Of the members The compliment could not
bind a future majority. but it was sort OF
nomination of the man Cor a place which some
body else might have the power to confer. But
Mr. Bailey and his friends introduced a new
nomenclature The caucus named him not sim
ply for an empty honor with designs upon the
future; it designated him to be the actual leader
of the minority in the House.
Mr.. Baileys leadership fractured the party
to the extent that he became sulky at the close
of the LYth Congress. ana announced that ne
would not again accept the post OF minority
leader Steadily up TO the present ne mas al
hered to this determination. and the fled IN
consequence is full of candidates for the coveted
place Mr. Bankhead, Of Alabama: Mr.. SulZer

Mr. Richardson. of Tennessee. are avoWed ap-
plicants for the post which Mr.. Bailey fouho
so uncomfortable. There exists. notwithstand-
ing the Missourian is not perhaps the most
prominent candidate. a disposition among the
Representatives who have arrived and who are
not the friends of Mr.. De Almond. to COM

the New-Yorker and that OF the Albanian
seem so directed This morning at the Rigs
House all the conferences were between the
workers OF the two candidates mentioned. MT
Bailey himself took part II IS said that If
there is no agreement on some one else the

Suzer spoke in the manner Of who be-
eves what he says without having TO try to
persuade himself OF its truth. Nevertheless. It
would seem to be stretch OF confidence for any
candidate under similar circumstances TO be-
leve quite so much as Mr.. Sulzer expresses.
The De Almond men conferred al the Varnum

The whole squabble is aptly described by critic

commission are favorable to the meet
ing with Filipino commission which
was suggested on behalf of Aguinaldo
by Lieutenant Reyes of the staff of
General Gregerio del Pillar, who came
to General Lawton under a flag of

thought by the American commission
ers that the idea may have resulted
from recent meeting of the so-called
Filipino congress at San Isidor. Def
mite information on this point, however,
cannot be obtained, though the local
Filipino committee, which is in close
communication with the leaders of the
rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure
peace.

is A HYPNOTIST.
''Prof." j. Morris Apley Behind
the Bars.
He was Charged With Larceny in New
York and Skipped His Bail
Bond.

Prof" j. Morris Apley. who will
not state where his home is, but who is
wanted at Rochester, N. Y, is an in
mate of the county Jail. He was ar
rested at Garden City Saturday eve
ming by Deputy Sheriff Stevens, and is
charged with the theft of gold watch
encased in a ring and also with jump
ing his bail.
Apley is nineteen years of age, and
he assumes the title of Prof" by rea-
son of being a hypnotist, as he claims.
He says that he learned hypnotism
from Prof. McEwen, of New York, and
Prof. Harridon, of jackson. Mich. He
has not done much at the business yet
himself as he has not had the money to
go on the road. He claims also to be a
watch maker, blacksmith, assembler
and adjuster. and tool maker.
When seen at the Jail Monday noon
by Free Press reporter, Apley at first
refused to say anything, but finally
concluded to give his side of the matter
to he public, in order that his acquaint-
ances in this county might know how
the matter stands. He was born in
Minnesota and his parents still reside
in this state, but he did not care to state
where their home is. He was working
in Rochester, N. Y, year ago and was
rooming with another young man
Both worked in the same shop One
day his roommate brought the watch
home, and he surmised that it had been
stolen, but he did not know for sure.
He reasoned that his roommate had as
much right to the room as he had and
could store things there, so he said
nothing. After time the roommate
went away, but left the watch in the
room. Soon the police came and
searched the room and found the watch
and arrested Apley, This was on June
18th last and two months after the
theft Apley protested his innocence,
but was in Jail for four months. Fin
ally he was released OH $500 bonds, and
this amount was subsequently raised to
1000. He could find no work and
rather than starve he went away with
out telling his bondsmen.
Apley went to Wells, where he re-
manned for eight months About two
weeks ago he went to Garden City, but
up to the time of his arrest had not
found work He states that he will re-
turn to New York without requisition
papers, The district attorney who
came after him started back this after
noon.
Apley claims that while in Jail at
Rochester he was nearly starved and
that as result he was sick during the
winter. He says that he did not COM
NIT the robbery and knows nothing
about it more than what has been stated.
Apley is over six feet tall and we'll pro-
portioned and does not look like bad
boy.

MANILA, May 15.-Twenty American
scouts under the command of Captains
Case and Berkheimer, supported by two
companies of the Minnesota and Oregon
regiments, fanked the insurgents at San
ndefonso and captured the town. The
Filipinos were so terrorized that al
though they fired 10000 rounds of am
munition all they did was to slightly
wound one scout. The Americans killed
one insurgent officer and wounded six
men. The insurgents retreated to San
Miguel, six miles north of San Ilde-

Captured records show that 20 per
cent of the opposing insurgent force has
been killed and wounded since Lawton's
