The depart ments, he said, stands between the meat producer and the meat consumers, and in the event that any evidence Is obtained that chemicals were used in putting up the beef, the influence of the department would be thrown against the producers.
 Professor Moore explained the relations of the weather bureau to the farmers. Pro- lessor Stubbs, director of the Louisiana ex- perimental station, was the only speaker at the night session, his topic being Southern Agriculture"

CHANGES ARE SLIM.
Little Probability of Match Between
 Sharkey and Fitzsimmons.

New York, February 9-The chances for a meeting between Fitzsimmons and Sharkey in twenty-four foot ring for the heavyweight championship of the world, are rather remote.
 It was generally expected that those two would have been matched today for lim- tied round or finish contest, but after par leying for over an hour Martin Julian and Tom O'Rourke failed to agree on a date for the contest and the negotiations fell through.
 ORourke said Sharkey could not fight Fitzsimmons before next November. Ju- lian wanted much earlier date.
 Julian immediately began to arrange a bout between Fitzsimmons and Jeffries, and soon had the matter well in hand. Ju- Han and J. P. Egan who represented Jeff fries will meet tomorrow to arrange the details. O'Rourke announced that he had assigned Sharkey to meet Charley Mitchell, of England, for a purse of $11 900, the bout to take place before the Bollingbroke club of London on May 29.

BURNED A VILLAGE.
Filipinos Feared the Americans Would
 Attack San Roque.

Manila, February 9.-5:50 p. m-The na- tives, fearing the Americans were about to make an attack or Lombard the town of San Roque, set fire to it today. It is still burning as this dispatch is sent, and it is composed in the main of bamboo huts, 1t will probably be totally destroyed.
 Telegraph operators are now worth their weight in gold, and the members of the sig nal corps are working night and day.
 All is quiet here today.
 The Filipinos are lying low except on the extreme left and right. They are evi- dently concentrating between Caloocan and Malabon.
 Judging from appearances, the Flipinos are being reinforced by better drilled men from the northern provinces. In front of Caloocan they are as thick as swarm of bees.
 The American troops feel the heat at midday in the open, but they are anxious to proceed. The soldiers are impatient of restraint while in sight of the enemy.
 The Filipinos are still entrenching themselves on the left of Caloocan. Sergeant-Major Smith, of the First Ten nessee, has been ordered to proceed to the United States by the next transport as an eScorl or the remains or Colonel William c. Smith, of the First Tennessee volunteers, who died Of apoplexy during the recent bat tie with the Filipinos.
 The report that Aguinaldo had sent representative to Manila to arrange for cessation of hostilties is denied at head quarters.
 General Otis says that no accredited rep. resentative has yet entered the lines
 Report From Dewey
 Washington, February 9.-The navy de- pertinent today received the following dis patch:
 Manila, February g. After continued interference and intimi- dation of our workmen, ordered armed in- surgents to leave San Roque by o'clock this morning. They left during the wight, a few remaining, who burned the village this morning. It is now occupied by our troops. All Is quiet.

CHANGE IN THE MEASURE
Now Calls for Only One Additional Major
 GeneralShip.
PRESIDENT DELAYS APPOINTMENT
Of Another Judge for the Fifth Circuit Youngblood Confident That Shelby Will Win-Miles Will Prob-
 ably Be Courtmartialed.

Washington, February 9.-(special.)- Representative Stallings is to go before the committee on military affairs tomorrow in the interest of his bill providing a major generalship for General Joe Wheeler.
 MT. stallings has changed his bill so that it only provides for one major-general, and does not name General Wheeler by name, as congress has no right to infringe on the ply creates another major-generalship, and provides for the appointment of volunteer officer who had that rank in the volunteer army and who participated in the campaign before Santiago. His bill now further pro- vides that at the death of such incumbent the office becomes extinct.
 MT. Stallings said today that he had a majority of the committee, he thinks, favorable to the bill, and that as soon as reported favorably he will have it intro duced in the senate. He will then be able to get action on the senate bill in case MT. Reed does not want the house measure con- sidered at this session.
 Fifth Circuit Judgeship "a The additional judgeship for the Fifth circuit will not be filled until some time next week. The president so informed friends of the candidates today. Colonel Youngbood was at the white house today. The president told the Alabamian he never saw him so interested in m annointment before. The Alabama people feel confident that Shelby will secure the appointment.
 The Anniston public building matter Is still hanging in the air. It has passed the passed by the house yet. Speaker Reed has promised that another day will be allowed for the consideration of these bills, and which, if allowed, MT Bankhead is conti- dent the Anniston bill will pass.
 There is no chance that the Morgan Nicaraguan bill will become a law at this session, or any other measure looking to the construction of the waterway.
 Reed Against the Bill
 It became evident some days ago that Speaker Reed would not let the bill be con- sidered at this session, so the senate de- cided to tack it on to the river and harbor bill now before the committee on commerce in the senate. Representative Cannon made a speech this afternoon in the house in which he served notice on the senate that no canal bill in any shape would be per- mitted to pass the house at this session.
 The general feeling here today is that the order of the president to investigate the beef contracts means nothing less than courtmaFtial of General Miles, or at the least, his removal from his present com mand. The friends of General Miles say, however, that the general has facts to prove every statement he made, and that he will make good his insinuations before the war investiga ton board.

CABLE FROM ADMIRAL DEWEY

Washington, February 9.-All that Gen. eral Otis had to report to the war depart ment today related to the casualties that have occurred so far among the American troops as the result of the actions since Satuday night
 Matters in Luzon are now in a state of temporary rest apparently, and one of the officials who knows as well as any ono what is going on, said that he did not ex- pect to hear of important developments in the Philippines for the next four or five days. Secretary Alger repeated his state ment made yesterday to the effect that he had sent no instructions to General Otis, and in answer to an inquiry as to the pro- jected movement towards O landing at Iloilo, added that if General Miller had been ordered to make a landing the order must have been given by General Otis, for 1t had not gone from the war department.
 The impression prevails, however, that this movement is already under way, and it would not be surprising to hear within the next two days that it had been exe- cuted.
 Admiral Dewey was heard from this morning to the effect that he had found 1t necessary to clear out all armed insurgents at a little village which commanded the land approaches to his naval station at Cavite. The action was thoroughly ap- proved at the navy department. a

UNDERWOOD'S BILL
Authorizing Hobson's Transfer to the
 Line.

Washington, February 9.-Representative Underwood, of Alabama, has introduced the following joint resolutions:
 '"That in recognition of the extraordinary heroism displayed by Richmond Pearson Hobson by running the Merrimac into the mouth of the harbor of Santiago, Cuba on June 8, 1898, and dexteriously sinking said vessel in the channel. the president Is here by authorized to transfer the said assistant naval constructor, Richmond Pearson Hob- son, from the construction corps to the line of the United States navy and to promote him to such position therein as, by and with the consent of the senate, he may de- termiue."

with ungloved hand. The committee ad- journed until tomorrow night.
 Time is what the opponents of the bill are playing for. One opponent of the bill until the railroad commissioners were ap- pointed. All sorts of rumors as to efforts to stife the bill are heard. News comes from Washington that members of congress have been telegraphed to come and take a part in the fight against the bill. They have not yet arrived.
 Circulates Petition
 It Is also rumored that the commissioners have made efforts to secure the signatures of members of the democratic county ex- ecutive committee who have not read the Cowan report to a petition against abolish ing the court
 Letters are coming to the senators from all sections of the state urging them to abolish the court and vindicate the integ- rity of democratic government.
 Said one of the most popular party lead- CTS, who is the president of one of the larg- est corporations in the state:
 "This is an administration measure, and every democrat must support it."
 Senatorial courtesy seems to be fast losing ground, and more talk is now heard about senators consulting their consciences than courtesies.

 sures in Bolivia.

Lima, Peru, via Galveston, February g. According to adyces just received here from the seat of histilities in Bolivia, Pres ident Alonzo during the recent siege of La Paz, the nominal capital, shot five of the leading federalists, or insurgents. On his return to Oruru, south of La Paz, which has been his headquarters during the war, he had only 1,500 troops, not half the num- Der with which he laid siege to the capital, many having deserted to the revolutionary movement.
 Well authenticated reports have been re- ceived of horrible deeds committed by the Indians in the country between Corocorro north of Oruru, and the latter city.

It estimated only for the ordinary mainten- ance of the navy. But the naval committee would report in it's bill provision for twelve to fifteen new batteships and cruisers. He did not complain. It was a logical se- quence. The army must also be increased. It was therefore the part of wisdom and common prudence to fully realize the con- dition which confronted us. With these enormous expenditures upon us, said MT. Cannon, we must point our footsteps with care and see no dollar goes out of the treasury except for an efficient public service.

Notes From a Map but He Is
Quickly Stopped = News
papers From Manila.

Copies of the American Soldier" the
first American paper published in the
Philippines, Were received here With the
last mail from Manila. The paper con-
talns much gossip of the various resl-
ments, but nothing of any especial inn
portance with reference to the situa-
ton between the Americans and ma
tives. A feature of the paper is roll
of honor. giving the names or all the
soldiers who have died either IN battle
or from disease. But one Montanan
appears in the list, Carey Saylor of
company L, who died Of disease. The
most important news item relates to
the discovery of gold and the evident
disinclination of the Insurgents to al
low the Americans to prospect Tor LII
IONS hidden treasures. The article
reads:
THE news of the discovery of gold
has spread like wild fire and the sam
pies on exhibition at the American Sol
der office are viewed by hundred
persons daily. Expert advice pro-
nounces the quality of the gold to be
good, though it is somewhat tlaky, still,
it is to be remembered that Mr.. New
ton only had a basin to wash out the
gold with. The pan outs that were
made yielded fairly WELL and old min
ers pronounce the samples to be very
promising. The gold found was not five
inches from the surface and must have
been deposited there by the current on
the previous day. This would appear
as ii there was a rich drift farther up
the stream. 1t is a general belief that
If the samples now on hand were not
