1t appears probable from develop
ments during the past few days in the
war department that Secretary Root
has in contemplation an army
quite 10000 men for the Philip
pines. While Mr.. Root has been ut the
head Ct the department only br @
time, the trend of his efforts has been,
it is alleged, wholly in the direction of
an increase in the available forces in
the east. The belief is growing in army
circles that Secretary Root has in mind
plan practically matured to make
Gen. Otis available force at least 40, :
900 men. The number of enlistments
in the new volunteer army have now
reached total of 0,063. Secretary
Root has ma lie favorable impress ion
in official circles here. What especially
impresses the officers who welcomed
their new chief, was the buoiness-like
manner in which he went about things.
IL "ho hoblCout AOM6NcI, IEub Ine new
secretary has no present intention OF
downing Corbin" as some persons
have urged him to do. At the same
time it appears that Gen. Miles is to
receive every consideration. There
can be however no change in the de-
partment personnel. The heads of the
bureaus cannot be disturbed by any
secretary, unless by assent of the presi-
dent and congress. The incompetent
must continue to block progress until
old age removes them to the retired
list 1t is the system that needs revis-
ing and Secretary Root understands
the situation.

MRS. CHASE ANSWERS
Full Textof the Respondents
Answer to the Sensational
BILL FILED BY THE MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.
complainants Have Dismissed the Suit.

1t was announced in THE COMET last
week that Mrs. Chase had filed her an
swer to the sensational bill filed by the
Mutual Life Insurance company against
her. 1t was not possible to obtain a
copy of the answer for that issue. The
answer was filed by Mr.. Jno. Bowman,
of Kirkpatrick, Williams & Bowman,
of this city, and follows in full.
Since the answer was put in type we
are advised by Mr.. Bowman that the
compliments have filed an order dis
missing the suit. This action was taken
because the company has been unable
to find any substantial ground upon
which to base its action. The company
admits it was misled into filing the bill
and retires gracefully under the frs
fire of the enemy and desires to do the
honorable thing by Mrs. Chase, an(
will assist in placing the blame for thi'
vile SANDER where 1t belongs. The
answer follows:
1t is true that on Oct. II, 1898, th,
complainant issued to Thos. II. Chase
its policy No. O,734, for tho sum o
twenty thousand dollars, on an annua
average premium of 107.O0, this re
spondent being the beneficiary namet
therein. Respondent does not know
the date when said Thomas r.. filed hi
application for said policy, but she pre-
sumes that the date alleged in the bill
towit: Sept. 80, 1898, is the correC
date, She is advised, however, tina
for q period of many months prior t
the submission of such application
said Thomas r. was earnestly and pei
sistently urged land solicited by con
plainant's agents to submit such Of
plication, and to take said policy, an
that by these persistent efforts of pei
suasiou on the part of said agents, sal
Thomas r. was finally induced an
persuaded to apply for and take sal
policy.
| The fact that said Thomas r. had o.
piled for said policy was unknown
this respondent until after the submit
sion of said application and the actu
issuance of said policy. She did n
even know that the said Thomas
was contemplating the taking of SUI
insurance until so advised by him aft
its issuance.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1899-08-17

Each and every allegation in com.
plainant's said bill contained, not here
inbofore answered, admitted, denied,
or pleaded to and denied in q separate
plea. specifically. is here and now dc.
MED generally, as fully as though sepa.
rately and specifically denied, and com
plainant is called upon to fully prove
and establish same according to the
rules of law and of this court. And
having answered, respondent prays tC
be hence dismissed with costs.

SQUASH BUGS.
How to Get Rid of This Ordinary Garden
Pest,

rest,
OF the commo squash bugs prevalent
in gardens, Professor Cockerell, of the
agricultural college at Mesilla Park,
writes to the Albuquerque Democrat:
/. Early in the season the adul bugs,
which hibernate, should be sought for
and destroyed. They are found under
boards, among piles of wood, etc. They
may be trapped by putting down boards
and examining beneath them early in
the morning. Every bug killed in the
early spring, if a female, is equivalent
to a whole multitude later on.
2. The eggs may be found on the
squash vines and destroyed. These eggs
are fairly large, and Of a brown or
bronzy color. They are laid upon the
leaves, usually on the under side.
8. 1t is an excellent plan to clean up
and burn all the old vines as soon as
the squashes or pumpkins have been
gathered.
4. The insect seems to prefer
