The complexion of the returns to be

determination Of the contests which
are being raised in several parts Of the

much feeling in the localities affected.
One of them involves the vote of Knox

rality. Monday Barbourville, the
county seat, was visited by hundreds Of

means Of the government wire, which

General Macarthur took Bamban
Saturday. This is supposed to be the

except Tarlac. The brief accounts of
the engagement received indicate that
the rebels fought according to their re-
cent tactics, retreating after firing a
few volleys. One officer of the Twenty
sixth regiment is the only American re-
ported killed.
General Macarthur began his adj
vance at daylight. Colonel Smith, with
the Seventeenth regiment on the right;
Major Bells command and the Thirty
sixth on the left, and the Ninth in the
center. Colonel Smith encountered a
small force at o'clock, easily dispers-
ing the rebels. Major Bell secured a
position on the mountain from which
he poured an enfilading fire from rifles
and Hotchkiss guns upon the first line
of the enemys trenches. The Filipinos
stood the fire for 70 minutes and then
retreatel to the mountains. General
Macarthur entered Bamban at 1(

Congress Asked for Money 10 Buy
Three Squares.
The Morrill, Supreme Court bill was in
troduced in the Senate and House of Rep
resentatiyes yesterday. This bill, proyid
ing for the purchase of a site for a build
ing for the accommodation Of the SuISeme
Court of the United States, was introduced
in the Senate by the late Senator Justin
S. Morrill, OF Vermont. on May A. 1897 1t
was finally reported from the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds by Mr..
Morrill,, and was passed by the Senate. but
got no further than that body.
The bill provides for the purchase OF
square No. 728 and the triangular parcels
of land marked on the city plan as squares
No 726 and No 727 bounded on the north
by B Street north, on the east by Second
Street east. on the west by First Street
east, and on the south by East Capitol
Street. The land contains approximately
226, 157 square feet, exclusive of alleys. The
site is directly north of the Library of
Congress. Condemnation proceedings are
provided for in the usual manner.
Attached to the bill is a diagram show
ing the location Of the proposed site.
The late Senator Morrill, was long an ad-
vocate of a grand edifice for the Supreme
Court and the Department OF Justice. The
measure leaped into popular favor with
Congress because of the fire at the Capitol
which invaded the file rooms OF the court
the clerks office, and which smoked the
walls of the court room and threatened the
law library. Friends OF the measure eX-
press confidence that the bill introduced
Yesterday will pass.

THE PHILIPPINE HEMP PORTS.

General otis Says He VIII Open
Them shortly.
Major General Otis yesterday cabled the
Secretary of War in reply to the instruc-
tions sent him several days ago to open as
soon as possible the principal ports of tire
Philippines. and particularly those ports
from which hemp is exported
For several weeks past Secretary wilson
Of the Department Of Agriculture has been
urging the opening of the hemp ports with
a view of securing a reduction in the
price of binding twine. 1t has been the
intention of the War Department officials
for some time to open the ports to the
general trade TO do this required the send
ing of troops to each of the ports and the
establishment of garrisous for the protee
tion of shipping.
The work of garrsoning and occupying
the seacoast towns has already begun and
as rapidly as troops arrive at Manila they
will be sent to the ports for service. Gen
eraI Otis expects to establish active trad
ing early in January. His Instructions
sent by Secretary Root last week were to
open the hemp ports as soon as possible,
and General Otis replied yesterday as fol-
lows:
Manila, Dec. y. 1899.
Hemp ports viii be open soon as transporta-
ton for troops can be secured; probably active
trading early in January.
General Otis indicates in his annual
report that the closing of the ports of the
Philippines has not greatly affected the
export trade of the islands. The volume
of trade, for the year ending August 81,
has been quite large. and merchants have
suffered much less than is generally sup
posed. OF the three staple articles Of the
islands, hemp, tobacco. and sugar. only the
latter shows a very marked depreciation in
amounts secured and exported. About
! the same quantity of hemp has been taken
from the shipping ports during the past as
in the preceding year. and large exporta-
tions of tobacco have been made. There
still remain in the islands considerable
quantities Of both hemp and tobacco.
