Senator Thomas 81. Carter, of Mon
tana,i is at the Auditorium Annex. He
is en- route to Butte, Mont, from
Washington. He said President Nc.
Kinley is going to make tour of the
Western states during the month of
July, and that his stop in Chicago was
for the purpose of arranging few de-
tails for the presidents sojourn in the
city.
The plan as outlined by Senator
Carter provides for an interesting trip
for the president. Accompanied by
Mrs. Mckinley and a considerable
number of intimate official associates,
he will leave Washington about July
Is. He will make quick trip from
Washington to Chicago, but from Chi.
cago west to Yellowstone Park the
trip will be slow and few speeches
may be made.
In the Yellowstone Park the entire
party will trough it" for number of
days, travelling by stage.
After leaving the park the presiden-
tial party will visit some of the princi-
pal points in the Western states and
then make quick return journey to
Washington.

A VAST ARMY
IS NEEDED
Lawton Says 100000
Troops Are Requir-
ed in the Phil
ippines.

NEW YORK, April IA dispatch
to the World from Manila says: Ma
jor-General Lawton, at Pate, today
authorized the World correspondent
to make this statement:
"The present prospect is that 100,
900 troops will be necessary to pacify
the Philippine islands,"
General Lawton's expedition has
returned to Manila. All the territory
he had captured was evacuated, and
the launches he seized will be given
back to the persons from whom Agui-
naldo's soldiers took them.
After giving the opinion that 100,.
600 men will be required to subdue
these islands, General Lawton ex-
planned the situation to the World
correspondent as follows:
1.-The difficulties in the way are
those of fighting guerrillas in tropi-
cal country. With my brigade I
could force my way from one end of
the island to the other If I did not
have to hold the territory 1 traversed.
But leaving garrisons behind would
soon eat up the whole of the force"
General Lawton regretted exceed
ingly being compelled to evacuate the
territory he had captured.

ASK RETURN OF voLusrEERs.
McMinnville Meeting Sends q Message
to Mckinley.


to Mckinley.
MCMINNVILLE, Or. April 16.-At a
mass meeting held yesterday, resolu.
tions were adopted asking President
Mckinley for the immediate return of
the Oregon volunteers in the Philip
pines. Towns that have companies in
the Second Oregon regiment were re-
quested to send delegates to Salem
next Saturday to confer with Govern
or Geer and the Oregon congressional
delegation relative to the discharge of
the soldiers. McMinnvilie's delegates
are ex.Sheriff W. L. Warren, J. C.
Cooper. Wyatt Harris and "A. ". r.
Snyder. They will be backed by
strong petitions, as the people of Yam
hill county believe that the Oregon
boys have more than done the work
for which they enlisted.
The resolutions set forth that many
promises have peen made by the war
department regarding the return of
the Oregon boys; that many trans
ports are coming back empty to the
United States, though peace has been
officially declared: that Eastern volun-
teers have been discharged. All ef-
forts to make political capital out of
the question of discharging the Ore
gon men Or continuing them in the
Philippine service are strongly con-
demmed. The plan suggested by the
resolutions is that the volunteers be
given free choice as to whether they
wish to stay or come home, and that
there be no pressure from the war
department or government officials.

CAPTURED TWO
MORE TOWNS
General Lawton Takes
Longos and Paete.

NEW YoRL, April 14.-A dispatcl
to the Herald from Manila says: Th,
expedition under Major General Law
ton yesterday moved IL miles further
north along the lake, taking two towps
Longos and Paete. A squadron of the
Fourth cavalry was left to garrison
Santa Cruz.
There was only desultory shooting
from the retreating enemy until the
advance reached Paete, the center of
the insurgent military government in
the district of Laguna de Bay. Here
the road is flanked by steep hills on
each side, on which the insurgents
had constructed great long trenches,
and also across the road. The North
Dakota regiment ran into cross fire.
Squads of five sharpshooters each
were sent up the steep hill and though
the thick brush to flank the insurgents.
One squad of the North Dakota regi-
ment suddenly came to the insurgent
trench, halting when only l5 yards
off. Only one man in this squad got
away unhurt.
The thin-clad gunboats shelled the
insurgents position for an hour. The
enenmy was finally driven out.
Our loss was five killed and two
wounded, the greatest loss Lawton has
yet sustained.
The launches captured Tuesday are
worth $4,000.

TRAP FOR
AGUIyALDo
Troops Will Be Sent to
the North by Sea.

MANILA, April 16.-The Americans
plan to trap Aguinaldo by sending
| troops via the sea route to the north
| of him. Then be will be between two
lines of Americans, and it may result
in his capture.
General Otis declares he has crushed
the rebel army and Aguinaldo's So
called government. He adds that the
Americans are not going to stop on
account of rainy weather, but will
make an active campaign, cutting the
rebel forces in two at Manila and
trapping Aguinaldo to the north. He
thinks the chief problem is now to
exterminate the brigands and bandits
who infest the islands in immense
bands of great strength and daring.
The condition of the Spanish pris-
oners is terrible. They are weak,
emaciatsd, starved, beaten cruelty and
ordered about by prods of bayonets.
United efforts b as been made by
merchants of all nationalities to have
the Spaniards set free by Aguinaldo.
The petition is to be delivered ut once.
However, Otis thinks it will be some
time before Luzon is pacified.

OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

There VIII Be no Material Shortage In
Crops This Year.
Oregon and Washington may be de-
pended upon to furnish considerable
bread this year. Dispatches from
Chicago state that good figures esti-
mate that winter wheat has been
generally damaged throughout the
country. They declare that the wheat
crop of this country will be from TO-
100000 to 100, 100000 bushels short of
last years yield.
This is not true in Oregon and
Washington.
B. S. Pague, whose business 1t is to
keep tab of crop conditions, as well as
the weather, says that conditions are
favorable to good yield in the North
west this year.
''The Februgry freeze damaged the
crop in some sections" said he but
not enough to cut the general average.
"West of the mountains indications
now are that the crop will be as good
as last year. East of the mountains
the freeze did some damage, but not
enough to count.
''Last fall was nnfavorable for SOW
ing grain east OF the mountains, cOnse-
quently not so much as usual was put
in, and the crop of spring grain prom
ises to be larger than usual.
SIN Washington, practically the
same conditions exist. The damage
in that state may be a little more than
in this, but the difference is very
slight
''The fruit crop is good. The freeze
didn't do the damage many thought,
and we will have our usual crop of all
kinds of fruit and berries in this state.
SIN the Willamette valley peaches
and apricots are damaged, but the
crop in Southern Oregon is fine. There
will be an abundance for all through
out the state"
Careful estimates place both the
fruit and grain crops of this state as
not more than per cent below last
year. If the conditions remain favor
able, it will not likely be falling off
of that much.

Swept Into the River.

LEWISTON, Idaho, April 16.-B. F.
Elliot, one of the best known rivermen
in the Northwest, was drowned in the
Clearwater Tuesday. He owned a
fine farm IS miles above Lewiston, on
the Clearwater, and while on the way
to that place on foot he was caught in
a snowslide which carried him into
the river. He was expected at his
home on Tuesday last, and on Thurs
day messenger started down the
river in search of him. His tracks
were found leading to the track of the
snowslide, and they never left the
slide. There can be no doubt about
his fate,

WHY LAwToN WAS RECALLED.

Ais Forces to Participate in q Movement
on Sau Fernando.
NEW YORK, April ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
When shown a dispatch announcing
the recall of General Lawton, Briga-
dier-General Schwan, acting adju-
tant- general, said it was in accord
ance with the understanding at the
war department as to the purpose of
General Lawton's campaign.
General Otis sent this expedition
to Southern Luzon," he continued,
for the purpose of destroying any in
surgent forces that might be found
there, to make careful reconnaissance
of the territory and to spread broadcast
the recent proclamation OF the Philip
pine commission, settin e forth the pur-
poses of this government with respect
to the islands. 1 expect he will clear
all the prisoners he has taken, and
they will be sent to their homes. By
this action it is hoped he will prove to
the Filipinos that the Americans are
not as barbarious as the insurgents
pretend we are and that we propose to
treat the Filipinos humapely."
"Why is General Lawton needed at
Manila?"
General Otis has not communicated
bis plans to the department, the mat
ter being left entirely to his discretion.
The insursent leader has established
his headquarters at San Fernando, to
the northwest Of Malolos, and 1 sup
pose General Otis contemplates
movement against the city. General
Lawton had only 1910 men under mis-
and it was of course impos.
sible for him to divide his force by
stationing detachments In every viii
lage captured. His command will be
useful, however, in assisting in the ad-
vance on Malolos, or in reinforcing
the line about the city of Manila. 1t
is possible that when the lake rises,
General Otis will resume the campaign
in the southern part of the island"

Not to the Filipino Liking.

SINGAPORE, April 16.-The latest
news received by the local Filipino
junto from Manila describes the proc
lamation of the United States Philip
pine commissioners as "vague and
unsatisfactory" The Filipinos are
reported as repudiating it, "because
their experience is that American ac-
tions belle American promises and
because the proclamation contains no
tangible guarantees of fself-government
or that the islands will not be exploit
ed by the syndicates, adventures
and carpet-baggers."
The proclamation of Major-General
Otis, according to this junta dispatch
is considered 'equally injudicious,"
and it is asserted that mo faith can
be reposed in General Otis or Colonel
Denby."
