Senator Morrill,, aged ss, of YER
mont, was taken seriously i'll at Wash
lngton, with an attack of grip compli-
eated with lung and heart trouble, and
his physician from the first held out no
hope for his recovery, owing to the
weakness consequent on his age. The
senator was for some years the patri-
arch of the senate and held warm
place in the affections of his associates.
He likewise enjoyed the fullest conf
dence OF his constituents, who, not
withstanding his years, reelected him
in 1896 for a fifth consecutive term,
which would not expire until March
3, 1908.
Justin S. Morrill,, was born in STRAIT
ford, VT, April IA, 1910, and in early
life he was a merchant and later an
agriculturist. He was elected to the
house of representatives in the oath
congress and for four succeeding
terms He was transferred to the SEN
ate March A, 1867. Since that time
his service has been continuous and
he has the record of the longest
unbroken term of service in the his
tory of the senate. He has taken an
important part in the legislation OF
the last 80 years, especially on COM
mercial and financial questions.

A MATTER OF FAITH.
Many of the Clergy in Michigan Endorse
the Little Conqueror.

Our religious opinions are, as whole,
matter of faith Whatever denomina-
tion or sect we follow we pin our faith
on the words and teachings of our
pastor. His sincerity is never doubted;
that ne thoroughly believes his adopted
creed is unquestioned. The opinion of
the clergy on any subject carry we'll
deserved weight with all classes of
people. Many reverend gentlemen in
Michigan are testifying for the little
conqueror. Their praise is not given
lightly and only after personal expert
ence. Gratitude and desire to pro-
mote the welfare of the public brings
forth such testimony as follows:
The Rev. Il. A. Smith, of 500 First
street, Kalamazoo, Mich, says: when

at the time, and had been considerably
troubled with my kidneys. Backache
was quite pronounced, being especially
severe when / sat or stood in STOPPING
position for any length of time. Other
symptoms usually attending disordered
kidneys plainly indicated what caused
the difficulty. Doan's Kidney Pills
corrected the annoyance in a very short
time, and / have not noticed, up to
date, any indication of recurrence.
AS l took no other medicine there can
be no doubt but Doan's Kidney Pills

MANITOBA'S CAPACITY.
Enough Wheat to supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.

She Requires from Abroad.
Toronto, Nov. 10.-The World"
comments on the report of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity
OF Canada as a granary for Britain.
The report refers to Manitoba as fol-
lows: Manitoba has an area OF forty
seven millions acres. Deducting ten
million for lakes, rivers, town sites and
waste land, 100000 acres are left for
farm cultivation, or homes for 10000
families on 800 acres each, and as up
to now there are only $1,000 farmers
there altogether, that leaves room in
one province for S9.008 more wheat
growers. Supposing. then, we got
them there and each one OF them out
of his 800 acres grew on an average
100 acres at 20 bushels to the acre; IL
you figure 1t up you will find 1t Is quite
possible for Manitoba alone to supply
us with all the wheat we require from
abroad. 1t Is only question of money
and comparatively speaking not money
either. The cost OF one flrst-class bat
tleship about f750,000) would put 5000
families onto farms In the Northwest,
allowing ESQ TO each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, ETC., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres OF wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, means an ex-
ira 100000 bushels. for If that
scheme is not liked Britain would put
a duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands of Manitoba there
are the millions OF acres in Assiniboia.

THOUGHT HIS WIFE ENJOYEpI
So He Didn't Tell His Son How Vulgar
he Thought the Show.

From Chicago Democrat: During
one of the past weeks when the differ
ent theaters Of the residence districts
OF the city were being enlivened with
the pugilistic prowess OF a certain
fighter a gentleman was persuaded by
his eager son to go to see and hear
the renowned fighter, and as he refused
to go without her, his wife reluctantly
consented to accompany her husband
to the theater. They went and they
returned homie at the close Of the per-
Torrance, the wife, whose interests all
lie in the highest of high cultures, too
full OF disgust to voice her opinion of
the pugilistic performance. She was
sorry though she hadn't expressed her
emphatic opinion when she heard her
husband innocently telling his children
the following morning: ut was rather
vulgar, l thought but l didn't say any
thing about it because l think your
mother really enjoyed it,"

TROUBLE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Insurgents Capture Iloiio and Refuse to
Give Up to the Americans.

insurgents Capture Iioilo and Refuse TO
Give Up to the Americans.
Gen. Rios, the Spanish commander
in the Visayas islands, has telegraphed
to his government from Iloilo, capital
of the island of Panay, as follows: Am
preparing to embark on the steamer
Leo XIII. for Zamboanga, Island of
Mindanao, having formally surren-
dered Iloilo. Have charged German
consul with the protection of Spanish
interests Though the dispatch is
ambiguous IL is assumed that the sur
render of Iloilo was to the Americans,
as troops were recently sent from Ma
Mia for that purpose.
Later reports, however, show that
the American forces had arrived too
late on the scene and that the insur-
gents had added to the difficulty OF the
problems already presented by hosting
their flag over the city, which they
have been besieging for months. Gen.
Otis reports as follows:
.'Sent Col. Potter on fast vessel to
Iloilo to communicate with Spanish
Gen. Rios; latter evacuated before
Potter arrived and insurgents took
possession OF city. Potter found
Aguinaldo's flag flying. Spanish forces
have evacuated all stations in southern
islands, except Zamboanga, Mindanao,
by orders, as they say, from Madrid. !"
The evacuation by the Spaniards of
all the Philippine ports, although
doubtless inspired by desire to secure
their safety by concentration, un-
doubtedly has done much to compli-
cate the problem already presented the
war department of extending the mill
tarv jurisdiction of the United States
over the islands. 1t is presumed that
Gen. Otis will demand the surrender
of Iloilo into his hands, and this de-
mand may at once raise the issue be-
| tween the insurgents and our own
government of possession of the islands.
Maj.-Gen. Wesley Merritt, who COM
manded the Americans at the sur
render Of Manila, was very much SUR
prised to hear of the surrender of
Iloilo by Gen. Rios to the insurgents.
Gen. Merritt believes the surrender
may have been an intentional move on
| the part of the Spaniards to make it
difficult for the United States to gain
control Of the Philippine islands.
Gen. Rios had no right to surrender
to the insurgents, unless, indeed, his
command was on the verge of starva-
ton, or in some equally tight place.
When Manila fell all the islands in the
archipelago went with it.
Admiral Dewey cables that he con-
siders it absolutely necessary that a
! frst-claSs statesman he sent TO Manila
to investigate thoroughly the situation
there. lie further states that the
United States must accept their re-
sponsiblities in the Philippines, which
have been acquired by conquest. If
we should shirl1 this duty we would
put ourselves back 200 years in the
worlds history.
The first insurgent government has
resigned over , e question of Ameri-
can intervention in the government of
the Philippine islands. Owners of
property desire American cooperation.
The present temporary cabinet is very
anti-American.

Rear Admiral Dewey is now senior
officer OF the American navy, having
reached that position through the re-
tirement OF Admiral Bunce. He will
continue TO hold that distinction until
Dec. 2S, 1899. when he will go upon
the retired list, unless congress excerpts
him from the operation OF the law and,
after making him admiral of the navy,
provides that he may hold that office
in active service without age limitation.
