PHYSICIANS.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Orders have been
for Manila at the earliest possible mo-
ment and to make as great speed as will
pe safe. 1t is stated that she will start
on Thursday afternoon. This is sooner
;han was thought possible week ago.
The engineer of the Relief thinks she can
reach the Philippines in A or 45 days. The
boat has frequently made seventeen
knots. The Relief is taking on supplies
and will coal today. The first orders We're
for the Relief to sail on Feb. Is, but the
severe weather hindered the work of
rerovating the boat. For the long voy
age heavy strengthening beams have been
put IN the upper works. All the machin-
cry has been put in good shape and a
new propeller fitted so that she can make
good speed.
Maj. A. E. Bradley, surgeon in the reg
ular army, is in charge of the Relief. His
staff is composed of Capt. H. r. Stiles,
Lieut. N. p. Chamberlain and Drs. w. p.

citement, it caused a great deal of relief
in the naval department as it indica ted
that nothing very startling had happened
in the naval line in Manila since the pres
ence of the Oregon had been requested for
political reasons" but at the same time
every one was as much in the dark re-
gardlng the admirals request for such a
large number of articles that have never
been used by the navy as they We're three
days ago regarding the urgent necessity
for the Oregon's presence.
There was much speculatio as to why
Admiral Dewey could not purchase all
the the ordinary coal baskets he wanted
in Hong Kong and there was DISPOSE
ton to first find out whether he would be
able to use more than 1000 baskets if
he had them. Officers doubted if the ad ..
miral would ever require at one time
more than 100 laborers each with bas-
ket, considering the character of the
wharfage facilities at Cavite where a
larger number of coal beavers might op-
crate than at other smaller wharves.
Officers say they have never seen any
steel baskets. Large bags holding eight
or ten bushels We're used most Of
the time and especially from lighters
where baskets had been used. They are
of the ordinary construction, costing
about ten cents each and having the ad-
ditional advantage of floating when they
fell overheard, as they frequently did.
It is believed that some of the foreign
ships at Manila must be equipped with
baskets made of steel which have at
tracted Admiral Deweys favorable no
tice for none are known in the commits
sary in this country Patent baskets of
the smaller size have more than once
been pressed on the notice of the naval
authorities but they have not been pur-
chased on account of two serious Objec-
tons. that of great expense and inability
to float. They cost from ten to fifteen
times as much as a wheat sack.
Admiral Dewey, during the years from
1889 to 1898 purchased the coaling baskets
the navy needed and none of them We're
of steel. However. the confidence Of the
navy department in the admiral is such
to carry a conviction that he must have
sufficient reasons, whether political or
not, for everything he asks and an eff
fort will be mac de to send the three thou
sand steel baskets.

And Sent Three Shells Into the

ANOTHER BUTTE BOY WAS WOUNDED
In the Trenches at CaIoocan--Hs Name is

vere--DeWey's Request.

Manila, Feb. 2S.-10:10 a. m.-The reb-
els at Malabon fired upon the cruiser CAL
lao from the jungle yesterday while Ad-
miral Dewey was visiting the Monad-
mock. Three shells were dropped by the
monitor into the Malabon church, de-
molishing the structure and killing a
number of cebcls who were inside.
A factory at Malolos is reported to be
running day and night to supply am
munition for the insurgents. The ignor-
ance of the natives is shown by the fact
that they have collected empty SPRING
field shells and are refiling them. Over
1000 Of these cartridges were discovered
in houses in Pandayean by an officer of
the Washington volunteers.
The cruiser Charleston and the gunboat
Concord have gone on ten days cruise,
presumably looking for filibusterers. 1t
is believed that arms are being landed in
small quantities at northern ports.
Everything was absolutely quiet last
night, both inside and outside the city.
The commissioners appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinney to study the conditions in
the island are expected to arrive here on
Saturday.

Authority Arc pronounced
Pure Fiction,
HE is THE GOVERNOR NOW

San Francisco, Feb. 2S.-The steamer
Gaelic, from Hong Kong and Yokohama,
via Honolulu, arrived today. The Asso-
ciated Press at Honolulu sends the fol-
lowing news, dated February q:
Commander Taussig of the Bennington
is the first American governor of Guam.
The American flag went up over the new
possession at 1890 a. m. on February l..
1t was raised over Fort Santa Cruz, in
the harbor of San Luis d'Apra, the main
harbor of Guam. The paymaster of the
Bennington is the United States collector
Of revenues for Guam. Everything is
quiet and orderly. The American flag
was also raised over Wake island by
Commander Taussig.
The United States collier Brutus ar
rived at Guam from Manila on January 1
and sailed from there at p. m. February
/, first having coaled the Bennington and
participated in the flag raising ceremo-
nies. Captain Cottman of the Brutus
says all the stories of revolt in Guam
against the United States authority fol-
lowing the departure of the Charleston
are pure fiction.

RACE WITH DEATH
WAS SUCCESSFUL
WALLA TONAKA WAS REPRIEVED
JUST IN THE NICK OF
TINE.

Antlers, T. T., Feb. 2S.-The race with
Judge Clayton's court for the life of
Walla Tonaka the condemned Choctow In
dian, was won by a hairs breadth by
the courier, who made the wild ride from
South McAlester to Alikiehi. Walla
Tonaka was to have been shot Monday
came to the execution grounds as he had
promised to do, he having been at liberty
pending final action by the court.
Last week a reprieve for a rehearing of
the case was ordered by Judge Clayton
and the courier dispatched on the 80 mile
journey. Rain was falling in torrents and
there was every reason to fear that he
could not reach AlilIIehi. The first part
of the journey was very bad and he had
but one broncho to carry him the dis
tance 1t was after midnight Sunday
morning when the rider reached the
flooded Kianuchi river. Here he stopped
till daylight and with his hand on the
pommel of his saddle, swan the stream
with his pony. The pony was almost eX
hausted when Big Creek was reached and
a long detour was necessary which caus-
ed hours of delay. Night came and more
rain and when the Seven Devils hills was
reached the broncho was staggering He
fell to the ground with the rider and both
slept where they fell. Before dawn they
were up again and finally the broncho
bearing the courier staggered to the exc
cution grounds where the eXecutioners
and stolid Walla Tonaka were facing
death. The Indian heard his repreve
without comment and will appear before
Iu6pp CLAYTON forthwith.

THE POPE TAKEN
SUDDENLY ILL
TION PLANNED FOR NEXT
THREE DAYS.
Rome, Feb. 2S.-The pope was taken
suddenly i'll this morning.

Leo XIII will be just SO years old day
after tomorrow, and, curiOusly enough,
on March occurs the twenty-flrst ami
versary of his elevation to the apostolic
chair. The pope is now but four years
away from the proverbial years of st.
Peter According to the Catholic church,
the first bishop of Rome presided over the
destinies of his flock just a quarter of a
century. 1t is seldom that a supreme
pontiff can celebrate the twenty-tirst an
niversary of his coronation. And only
once has it happened among the 25S popes
that the years of St Peter were
reached. This exception was in the case
of Plus TX, who found himself the center
of world wide demonstration of loyalty
when he attained the twenty-fifth ami
versary of his papal elevation. The long
life of Leo XIII is largely due to the fact
that he Is an enthusiast for frugality.
The pontiticatc of Plus TX was the
longest in history, and was terminated in
1873. On February he gave his last allo-
cution to the cardinals, and five days

afterw'ard died very suddenly. On Feb
ruary IS the sacred college met in solemn
conclaVe, and two days later Cardinal
Joachim Pecci was proclaimed the new
pope, under the name of Leo XIII. The
coronation ceremonies took place in the
baslica of ST. Peters, on March 3, 1878.
The pope is the Oldest living man in the
world in active official life. In this coun-
try General Cassius NJ. Clay of kentucky
is within a year of Leo's age. One reason
why the pope enjoys such excellent and
nearly uniform health is because of his
frugal diet and model menus. His physi-
clan says: Il eat in one meal more than
the Holy Father does in week" This
tells the story better than anything else.
Here is the general routine of the pope
during one day: Leo rises about in the
morning, after five hours sleep, and is
assisted in dressing by his old and faith
full valet. After mass is said he partakes
of coffee and goats milk, with a bit of
bread. The secretary of state is received
at 10 o'clock to consult regarding affairs
of the church. Half way through the
the pope takes some broth. The
meal is eaten about 130, and con-
sists of soup boiled meat, roast lamb and
some vegetables as a general thing. OF
claret or chanti is not lacking.
Then comes the afternoon siesta. This
over, his holiness again resumes work,
and later on takes drive through the
Vatican gardens. Here he can be easily
seen from the dome Of st. Peters and
his every movement is covered
by field glasses in the hands of tourists.
For very few people are admitted to the
presence of the pope, nor can they easily
secure admission to the Sistine chapel
when he officiates at mass. In the even
ing light supper is eaten. and then his
holiness studies or reads till far into the
night.

RICHARD p. BLAND.

For twenty years the late Richard p.
Bland had fought on the floor of the
house of representatives the battles Aof
one of the ablest, most courageous and
most resourceful men that either side of
the house produced. He has been called
to his rest, and there is not Democrat
in the land that will not bow reverently
as the spirit of this brave and upright
man passes on to his last reward.
and discourage there was no Democrat
in whose esteem Mr.. Bland did not occu-
Ply the highest place. He ranked with
the foremost of his party associates and
divided in the house the esteem and con-
fidence of his party with men like Samuel
J. Randall, ]. Randolph Tucker Galusha
A Grow, Andrew c. Curtin, Michael C.
Kerr and S. S. Cox.
There was no more honorable or cour-
ageous man in public life in his genera
ton. His convictions on the subject of
the free coinage of silver were strong,
and he was as sincere i'll the entertain
ment and expression of them as he was
in all things. He was easily the ablest
and best informed of all the advocates
of the principle, and no suspicion ever
attached to him that he found his advo-
cacy any more personally profitable than
if he had not entered uDOn it
There is no Democrat that cannot con-
scientiously lay the wreath of his respect
upon the grave of the dead statesman.
Like most-we, believe, all-the great po-
litical leaders that have come from the
South, he was beyond all faint of sus-
picion of seeking pecuniary gain for
himself in the advocacy of any cause
or as the result of his services in his
place in the house or by reason of any
sources of information that might by rea-
son of his prominence be at his disposal
1t is to the honor of American public life
that such men are able to continue for an
ordinary lifetime representing the same
constituency in our national halls of leg
islation, and that they retire, many Of
them to their graves, without a dollar
of wealth, because they had given freely
and faithfully of their powers to the
service of the people without adequate
reward. 1t is a pitiful omen, too, that
the high type of statesmen which these
men represented is passing, if it has not
wholly passed, from our public life, at
least outside of the South.
