ing on this stronghold, Gen. Otis pro-
poses to conduct two distinct opera
tions.
The first one, under Major Gen. Mac
Arthur, has for its purpose pushing
straight forward from Malolos along
the railroad, and striking at Calumpit
from the south.
The second one is under Major Gen.
Lawton, who, with his flying column,
is moving far around to the northeast,
to the large town of Norzagay, from
which point he will turn abruptly west
toward Calumpit. This last move will
take about ten days, and military
strategists look upon it as another eff
fort to flank the insurgents by getting
behind them at Calumpit, similar to
the flank movement which Gen. Mac
Arthur attempted to execute at Mala-
bon.
This double operation makes Calum-
pit the centre for the next few days,
while attention will be divided between
MacArthur's column advancing from
Malolos and Lawton's column on its
ten days march by Norzagay MacAr-
thur has only a short distance to ;rav-
erse, so that his forces may be engaged
with the main force o. the insurgents
within the next few hours.
The country is fat and open, and ra-
ther better for our troops than that
lying south Of Malolos Calumpit lies
on the left bank of a small stream with
it's confluence with the large river Rio
Grande. 1t is a substantially built town,
with some 1000 houses. The advance Of
Gen. Lawton by a circuitous route Will
be over country Of which little IS
known here.
Norzagay is a considerable town, and
il is thought Gen. Lawton is about
there by this time. A road runs all the
way from there to Calumpit. Along 1t
ARE scattered many small toWns-An-
gat, Bustos, Balinog-indicating that
the advance is through populous
country. 1t is an agricultural locality
with extensive rice and fruit planta-
tions.
The war department map prepared
by the military information bureau
shows that this road joins the one on
which Macarthur is moving up from
Malolos. 1t is hardly thought, how
ever, that Lawton will make a juno
ton with Macarthur before strik-
ing Calumpit, but rather he
will leave the road when nearing Cal
umpit so as to strike the city in the
rear while Macarthur is attacking in
front The execution of this double
movement is being followed with great
interest by the war department officials
as it is on a considerably larger scale
than the brush clearing which has
been in progress recently. Capt. G. F.
Wilde, u. S. N, of the United States
steamship Boston has protested against
the promotion of Col Miller to briga-
der -generalship as a reward for the
capture of Iloiio It appears that this
capture was effected entirely by naval
forces under the command Of Capt.
Wilde, and that it was not until after
the capture had been effected that the
place was turned over to Col Miller,
who up to that time, had nothing to do
with its capture. This action is in
dorsed by Admiral Dewey.

COLOR LINE DRAWN.

A committee from the Douglass Club
presented to the license commissioners
last night at the city hall revised code
of the clubs bylaws. This was done in
response to a request by the commits
sioners made some time ago, who want
ed certain changes made in the, govern
ment of that organizations.
At the hearing, Clarence H. Beckton
for the committee read the bylaws as
adopted by the reorganized club. They
were very elaborate and provided ap-
parently for about every contingency
that might arise in the government
and conduct of the society. Gen. Pic
kett complimented the committee on
the general excellence of the new code.
The only point raised last night by
the commissioners was over the clause
saying that the Douglass Club shall be
closed at 1 o'clock a. M" The COM
mittee was asked if the rooms couldn' t
be closed at midnight. The question
was answered that some Of the mem
bers were not able to get in until af-
ter that time, as their work kept them
up very late. Further questioning de-
veloped the fact that actually only
three persons would be effected by hav-
ing the club rooms darkened at II
o'clock.
The chairman of the committee said
that it was the clubs intention and
purpose to maintain the strictest disci-
pline among the members and to adj
here to the letter of the law in closing
the rooms at the stated hour. The mem
bership of the club under the revised
rules was stated to be SO. The by
laws will permit no whites to become
members, as had been permitted in the
past.
In reference to allowing persons in
the rooms, the bylaws read as follows:
ANY member may personally introduce
non-residents and residents. not eligible
to membership in the rooms Of the
club, their names and that of the mem
ber introducing them asd the date of
such introduction having been first en-
tered in a book to be kept for that
purpose"
The preamble of the bylaws real as
follows: 1.-THE purpose of the club shall
be to promote the science and art of
letters among it's members, and TO af-
ford them an opportunity Of uniting to-
gether for social intercourse and en-
tertainment."
The commissioners asked the COM
mittee to furnish list Of the club s
members, which it was stated would be
done at once, probably today. The hear
ing was then declared closed, and the
matter will be in allegiance until the re-
quest has been complied with.

COMMON COUNCIL.

The chief item Of interest in the COM
mon council last evening was a commu-
nication from the mayor transmitting
communications from the superintend-
ents Of public buildings and street
lighting relative to the expense that had
been incurred thus far in the illumi-
nation Of the city hall tower clock.
There has been no contract made witt,
any party or parties to light the clock,
and the only expense has been q bill OF
1858 allowed to A. W. Jefts for his
expenses to New York city and return
while purchasing the esearchlights now In
use. There has been paid for labor and
stock used in constructing the house

RED-HOT SESSION.
Democratic Aldermen
Wax Wrathy and
Talk Long.
"PEANUT POLITICS. /"
Consolidated Hearing Has
Three Thayers With
Three Routes.

1t was 1920 o'clock this morning
when. after many attempts, motion
to adjourn was passed in the board OF
aldermen. No one disputed the fact
that the session was warm one, and
the fruitless efforts of the democrats
to carry point after point took up a
considerable part of the last few hours
Just before the midnight hour, Alder
man OConnell moved that the body
adjourn, and the president declared the
motion carried, but some of the alder
men doubted the vote, and those who
had got as far as the ante-room were
called back to be counted, and the OPP
ponents were found to be in the ma
jority.
Alderman O'Connell then moved that
record of the previous motion be re-
moved from the records.
The hearing granted the Consolidated
brought out three representatives by
the name of Thayer. who had as many
different plans to offer foT- +.le location
of the proposed connection with the
Webster and Worcester road.
Representative John H. Hagberg
/. took occasion to score the Consolidated
for its lack of attention to petitions
from people of Quinsigamond asking
for an extension of tracks through that
village.
The discussion brought forth by the
motion of Alderman Huot, that John
M. O'Connell of ward be not con-
1irmed as one of the assessors in the
mayors list of appointments, brought
forth a hot discussion
Principal George Rugg and Is pupils
of the Grafton high school attended the

BOARD OF ALDERMEN,

Not since the organization of the
present board of aldermen have the
walls of the aldermanic chamber
echoed with such outbursts of elo-
quenee, as emanated from the demo-
cratic side of the house during last
nights session Beginning with ex-
pressions of mild surprise that the re-
publicans should take certain views,
the argument finally waxed hot, wind
ing up in one of the most scathing ar
fragments of partyism ever listened
to within the walls of the city hall
The trouble came about over the mo-
tion of Alderman Huot, when the
mayors appointments of assessors
came up for confirmation. The motion
was that all the appointees, aside from
John M. O'Connell Of ward 8, be ap-
pointed. The motion was finally car
ried
Alderman Carberry wanted to know
why Alderman Huot opposed Mr..
O'Connell. The alderman from ward
replied that it was because he had been
told that Mr.. O'Connell had not per-
formed his duties as he should, and
that he had heard over 100 names were
left off the voting list in ward last
year
Alderman Barrett was surprised to
near WnaL Inc alderman DdQ TO say.
He is acquainted with Mr.. O'Connell,
and spoke in the highest terms of his
ability Alderman O'Connen consid-
cred Mr.. O'Connell young and active
and not imbued with the make Of a
fossil. He did not think the attempt
to dislodge the assessor square and in
dulged in some cutting remark at the
expense of the republican side of the
house.
No sooner was the alderman from
ward In his seat than Alderman Car
berry was up and hurting hot shot into
the republican members. He said he
had never supposed the party whip
would iJe cracked in such low, dirty
detestable way, and had he been told
so, would not have believed it. He
knew Of no reason why the axe should
be directed toward the neck of his
friend and characterized the action OF
the republicans as "low peanut politics
and reiterated that there was not an
honest motive behind 1t.
Alderman Barrett INDUCED in a lit
tie sarcasm at the close of debate. He
thought Mr.. O'Connell would have rea-
son to feel proud in the thought that
he had been made a martyr to the re-
publicans in ward 3. He would like to
hear from some Of the other republi-
cans aside from Alderman Huot as
their motives in voting as they did, but

Atlanta, Ca, April A.-Gov. Allen D.
Gambler today in an interview regarding
the burning of Hose at Newman, and the
putting to death of Preacher Strickland
at Palmetto, said: 81 believe the whole
trouble of all these disorders is traceable
to politics. The ballot was thrust into the
negros hand Immediately after his eman-
cipation, when he was utterly unprepared
for the judicious use of it, and the scala
wags and carpet baggers who came here
and took charge of him filed his head
full of false ideas, characterized him the
ward of the nation and for partisan pur-
poses induced him to believe that he
would be protected in the government

HAwAIps VALUE.
Growth of Americas Trade With the
Islands.

Islands.
The commercial gain resultant from Ha-
waiian annexation is made apparent in
the report of Hawaiian commerce for 1893
says the New York Commercial Adyer-
tiser. In submitting this report to the
state department Consul General Hay
wood lays great stress on the fact that
the increase is normal and not occasioned
by speculative importations in anticipa-
ton of high tariff duties under American
control.
The total receipts from customs for the
year were 1896 1875 10, as against S7OS. 49S. .95
for 81. This is an increase Of $1SS. 1926
"It has been stated" says Mr. Hay
wood, discussing this increase, that the
merchants here have been buying goods
since annexation, in anticipation of higher
duties. By comparing the value of i'm
ports for the past seven years 1t will be
seen that the apparently large increase
over the importations of 1897 Is no greater
in proportion than the increase of former
years. / am surprised that the increase
has not been greater.
1.-THE exports for the year amounted to
the total sum of $l7, 346. IA 70, as against
sl6021, 775. .19 for 1897, an increase Of $1,S24,-
During the year 1898 II, ,229 persons land
ed on the island and 1913 departed. Twelve
thousand five hundred of these arrivals
were Chinese and Japanese.
Much of the general prosperity Of
these islands depends upon the sugar
market. Excepting the transients, every
one makes or loses according to the
profits of the plantations. With annexa-
tion came feeling of security of a mar
ket, and when you add to this an abnor-
mally large crop with high prices. it is
not surprising that new plantations
should be promoted.
"These plantations are capitalized for
amounts varying from, Sl,O000O to $500, :
600, every cent of which will be expended
before anything is received from the sale
of sugar. A great part of this money goes
toward the purchase of machinery and
supplies. OF this money. l should say
that 70 per cent is spent in the United
States. In round numbers, probably S25,-
100000 is invested in sugar, practically all
of which is owned here. The stock of
these plantations is held by all classes.
Every cent not L, needed in business goes
into sugar. Those who bought sugar
stock last August win be able TO realize
by August next 100 per cent profit on their
investment.
merchant said to me the other day. that
importers would tie their money up in
merchandise they do not need with pos
sible chance OF making profit Of 20 ,psr
cent by the extension Of our tariff when
they can make more by investing 1t In
sugar stock? II must be borne In mind
that in this climate there is great dete-
rioration. and merchants do not care to
carry too large a stock.
1T win be seen that the prosperity of
these islands depends almost entirely upon
its one great staple-sugar. Every cause
which lowers the price of sugar Will
make every one here poorer. BY the an
nexatlon Of Hawaii the United States
gained territory with a population. If we
except the Asiatics, as rich per capita as
one viii find in any place In the world.
