be speedily brought to trial. News of
the capture was telegraphed to A. A.
Gates, the aged father, here and he
Immediately sent directions to Wich-
tia, Kan, which will lead to the arrest
of the murderer.
Gilbert Gates was murdered near
Warrensburg, Mo-, the night of May 2,
1872, while he was journeying west
ward by wagon with Alexander Jester.
When night came they encamped on
the river bank, and under cover of
darkness, Jester stole toward Gates,
and shot him in the back. He robbed
Gates, and then attempted to conceal
the crime by burning the victims
body. Failing in this the murderer
threw the corpse into the river, whence
it drifted down stream to where it was
finally discovered in Salt river. !.
Now the sister of the murderer, Mrs.
Cornelia Street of Shewanee, Okla

of Wichita, saying that her brother Is

A curious condition exists at Guam,
to which Capt. R. Leary has been sent
as governor. The islands, of which
Guam is the most important, have long
been the scene of missionary labors,
managed generally by the American
Board of Commissioners of Foreign
Missions. Some ten years ago the Rev.
Alfred Smelling was sent to the Carol
ines from Boston by this Congrega-
tional missionary board. For some
probably good reason the work of Mr..
Smelling was not satisfactory, and a
few years since he was relieved and
the Rev. DR.. Price was sent out to sup
ply his place. Mr.. Smelling immediate
ly revolted, and wherever DR.. Price
established schools or opened churches
Mr.. Smelling duplicated them. Each
Of the missionaries used his influence
against the other, and in these contro.
versies the natives took an active part.
DR.. Price was recently superseded by
the Rev. Mr.. Stimson, who Is now car
rying on the work in opposition to Mr..
Smelling. The latter is the more pop
ular with the native population, it be-
ing claimed that he maintains his hold
upon them rather by judicious distri
button of trinkets as presents than by
the soundness Of his doctrines or the
energy of his religious work. The ma.
tives are all in favor of annexation to
the United States, as Is shown by an
incident at Ponape, the capital Of the
Caroline group, which is held by the
Spaniards with small garrison and
two gunboats. When the people Of the
island heard Of the taking of Guam
by the Americans they shut up the
Spanish garrison in the fort and made
ready to deliver them to the United
States upon the first demand. A few
of the Spaniards escaped to the gun
boats, which they took up one of the
rivers and concealed in mangrove
swamp. The natives show, in many
ways, their kindly disposition toward
the United States, and Capt. Leary will
have an easy task in instituting bet
ter order of things than the people
knew under Spanish rule.

tree itself occupies little ground space.
With the destruction of forests have
come marked changes In climate. The
winters have grown colder, the sum-
mers hotter. Streams which once
flowed evenly are now transformed in
a few hours from trickling rills to
raging torrents. The springs which fed
them have gone dry. The earth not
sheltered by trees is more deeply frozen
In winter and more parched in summer.
With the extremes in climate, new and
dangerous diseases have appeared in
localities heretofore noted for their
healthfulness. The lost trees cannot, of
course, be recalled; but by planting
others In their places and by preserv-
ing those which have SO far escaped
destruction real and important SER
vice may be rendered to the public

LARGER ARMY.
Fifty Thousand Soldiers to Be Sent.

Washington-The war department
officials preserve the strictest secrecy
respecting the number of additional
troops to be sent to General Otis, and
the plans of the administrator for the
suppression of the rebellion in the
Philippines. The extent and activity
OF the preparations for recruiting,
which are now being made, however,
afford substantial confirmation of the
report that when the President and
Secretary Alger return, they will ar
range for the mustering-in of a far
greater number Of recruits than the
ten or twelve thousand which General
Corbin now practically admits will be
enlisted.
1"h'ght high official says it is
probable that the whole provisional
army of $4,000 men will be taken into
service if that number of recruits can
be obtained without resort to a gen
eral call. With this statement comes
the information that it now is the ad-
ministration's intention to send to
General Otis an aggregate of $4,000
troops, which will give him the desired
$4,000 for active operations, and leave
~, 1000 for garrison purposes.

CHEAP CHINESE CIGARS.

San Francisco-Burt Thomas, of the
internal revenue service seized $50, 900
cigars and tobacco, valued at $4,000, in
the Capital Cigar Factory, the largest
Chinese factory in this city. For
some time past Thomas has been try
ing to connect the firm with the refill
ing of empty cigar boxes, and today
succeeded in tracing lot of cheap CT
gars, which hade been placed in boxes
which had formerly contained imported
cigars, to the Capital Factory.
The firm has also been initiating
foreign stamps and in other ways VIC
lating the internal revenue laws. This
is the most important seizure made
here for a long time.

The new destructive weapons of war
do not seem to do much destroying
after all. We are told of savagely
fought battles in which Maxim and
Calling guns are used, Of tremendous
bombardments, of desperate storms Of
shot hurled against the enemy, and
then read that the loss Of life on the
part of the foe aggregates from thirty
to fifty men. And the old-fashioned
cyclone goes on its way and mows
down hundreds in its path in a few
seconds, to say nothing of wiping two
or three towns off the face of the earth
