ANOTHER BLOW
At the Insurgents Being Planned By
 Gen. Otis.

Washington, March 1S.-General Otis Is planning another blow at the insurgents in execution of his scheme of hastening ths ending of the rebellion In Luzon before the advent of the rainy season. The fact ap- peared quite incidentally in a cablegram received from him, in which he replied to an inquiry from the war department rela- tive to the discharge of the volunteer sol- diers serving in his army These soldiers are entitled by the promise by the war de- partment, and perhaps by the terms of their enlistment, to be recalled to their homes soon as they can be relieved by regulars.
 General Otis said that the men were will ing to stay in the Philippines as long as they could be of active service, and then he added he was about to have some work of the most importance, indicating that an other general movement forward was in prospect. This understanding is confirmed by the report from Manila to the. effect that another column in addition to that of Wheatons is being formed under Lawton's lead, and it is believed that this will be pushed rapidly northward from Manila enclosing between itself and Wheatons column the largest body of the insurgents remaining in the neighborhood Of Manila.

 This section of Arkansas was visited by fearful tornado this morning about Il o'clock. The storm was first observed about six miles northwest of Pine Bluff.

THE FIGHT BEGUN
 ON NM. ]. BRYAN Eastern Democrats Trying to Knife tho

 Efforts Unavailing.
THEY THINK DEFEAT INEVITABLE

Washington, March 1S.-(Special) )-There have been recently a number of actions on the part of eastern democrats indicative Of a purpose to wield an influence in the next democratic national convention in opposi- ton to free silver and to Bryan. It IS very evident that the anti-free silver members of the party do not intend to play passive part in the next convention, but to the contrary, it is thelr purpose to make themselves felt in a tremendous endeavor to shake the party feaity to the one issue which overshadowed all others Tn the cam paign of 1896. If they cannot defeat dec- laration in favor of free silver, they will do their utmost to make free silver subordi- nate or at least not superior to other is- sues.
 For months the eastern democrats have been laboring to make expansion an issue. Headed by Croker and other New York in- fiuences many moved boldly to force the democrats to a favorable position on e&- pansion. Interviews, speeches and abun- dant editorials were flooded upon the pub lie with a view to making democracy the champion of expansion, and of affording an easy means of escape from the partys ex- treme committal to free silver
 The Effort Failed.
 This effort has failed apparently because, in the first place, the position taken was not very contrary to the declaration of the republicans. Having despaired, practically of preventing the silver issue being para mount next year; realizing it is to have probably first place in politics, the most recently announced purpose of the anti Bryan democrats is directed to defeat the renomination of Bryan and to accomplish ing the naming of a compromise candidate whom democrats generally can be brought to support or, failing in that to force the silver element in the convention to such revolutionary step as will justify the anti silver and anti-Bryan democrats In With drawing from the candidate and platform their support and assuming th' attitude they took in 1896.
 According to unbroken democratic rule 1t requires two-thirds to nominate in national convention. The anti-Bryan element claims boldly now that it can control more than

FIRST GUN OF
 THE LEGAL BATTLE
Case of Roberts Against County
 Treasurer
ARGUED IN CIRCUIT COURT
Attorney for Board of Revenue Moved to Strike Out the Constitutional
 Points in the Answer of
 the Commissioners.

The fight for supremacy between the court of county commissioners and the newly created board of revenue is on in full force.
 The first gun was fired yesterday when the petition of Roberts & Son for writ of mandamus against County Treasurer Hawkins to compel the payment of a war rant drawn by President Earle of the boald of revenue, was taken up in the circuit court before Judge Wilkerson. The action, as is commonly known, was brought to test the validity of the act abolishing the commissioners court and creating the board of revenue, and will be carried to the supreme court by the losing side.
 The petitioners are represented by Caba- miss & Weakley, and the respondent by Head &, Wood and Bowman & Harsh.
 When the case was called yesterday morning there were number of attorneys and spectators present, while the court room itself had much the appearance of a library from the number Of law books which were piled on the tables, each marked at some particular case to be cited in the argument
 Wanted Averment Stricken Out.
 Mir. Cabaniss, for the petitioner, started the ball rolling with a motion to strike out that part of the answer of the respondent containing the averment that the act ere ating the board of revenue was in conflict with the constitution of the state and the United States and also that the act was conceived, inspired and accomplished oy the governor, on the ground that it was Irrelevant, impertinent and immaterial to the issue, ana because it is not competent for the court to inquire into the motives and purposes of the legislature in creating an act in determining its validity.
 The motion was opposed by Judge Head, who after a rejoinder by MT. Cabaniss, contended that the answer contained noth- ing except facts of which the court takes judicial knowledge, and that the leglsla- tive history of the act was essential to the full presentation of the claims of the re- spondents
 Judge Wilkerson reserved his decision on the motion until he had heard argument on all issues involved.
 The question was then taken up on its merits.

decrease in the overland rates be-
tween Los Angeles and eastern points.
The northern roads have decided to put
their rates back to the figure existing
before the Canadian Pacific entered into
the existing rate war. This has the eff
feet of slightly lowering some of the
overland rates. For instance, from
there to Detroit the rate has been re-
duced from $50 to $685. to New York,
from $77.9O to SIS.
The Santa Fe tourist cars known as
second class sleeping cars, will all be
sent to the Pullman shops as soon as
possible to have certain improvements
made. Each car is to have large plat

from the car axleS. Electric fans will
also be placed in each car. With the
exception of the upholstery, these cars
when completed will be the same as
the Pullman coaches.
The Santa Fe has received the details
of the rates for the N. E. A. convention

Round trip tickets either by way of Ell

Santa Fe Notes From Newton.

When the new time card goes into
effect April II, a pusher will be put on,
with headquarters at Florence, and will
work south out of that point, and help
trains over Whitewater Hill. This ac-
ton will probably meet with the hearty
approval of engine and trainmen, as in
the past it has frequently been neces-
sary to double Whitewater Hill, and
the engines have been rated necessarily
low in order to avoid so much doubling.
With pusher in this hill a much larger
train can be hauled than heretofore,
and the necessity for doubling will be
done away with.
The crew on the Little River branch
will be taken off on the 18th inst, and
