New YORK, April 18.-A dispatch
to the World from Manila says:
Maj. Lawton, at Patite, to-day
authorized the World correspondent t
to make this statement:
"The present prospect is that l00,-
900 troops will be necessary to paclfy
the Philippine Islands,"
Gen. Lawton's expedition has been
ordered to Manila and will return
there Immediately. All the terri.
tory he captured will be evacuated
and all the launches he seized will
be restored to their original owners
that is to say, they will be given
back to the persons from whom
Aguinaldo's soldiers took them.
After giving the opinion that l00,'
600 men will he required to subdue
these islands, Gen. Lawton ex-
planned the situation to the World

"The difficulties in the way are
those of fighting guerrillas in 6

New YORK, April 16.-The cele-
bration attending the return of the
United States cruiser Raleigh from
Manila, which had to be postponed
yesterday, owing to the warship's
late arrival, occurred to-day. The
Raleigh, accompanied by two small
war vessels captured from the Span
iards last summer, and a fleet of
about twenty. five excursion steamers
and tug boats, paraded from Tomp-
kinsville to Grants tomb, and from
there back to anchorage in the
North River off Thirty-fourth street.
II would be difficult to select more
inclement or disagreeable weather
than that which prevailed all the
time that the Raleigh was passing
in review before the thousands of
enthusiastic people who gathered
along the river banks and gave her
hearty cheers of welcome home.
The cruiser did not leave her an
chorage off Tompkinsville for the
parade up the bay and the Hudson
| River until shortly before noon.
| AL llOuL DclOI6 GlldU bllll6 uIILAlIuS
rain commenced to fall, and this
soon turned into steady downpOur
which continued the remainder OF
the day. The air was raw and the
men of the Raleigh stood upon the
decks for hours, drenched to the
skin and shivering with cold.
Great crowds assembled in River
side Park, overlooking the Hudson
and men, women and children stood
there for hours, under umbrellas
watching the vessels on their way
up the river and on their return
Far the greatest gathering of people
was in the vicinity of Grants tomb
which was the turning point OF the
parade. A national salute was free
there by the Raleigh and also by
the captured Spanish prizes, and The
scene was rendered a memorable
one by the shrieking of hundred
steam whistles from excursion boat
and locomotives and cheers from
thousands of people on shore and OF
the vessels in the river.

FRIDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

NASHVILLE, April 1.-THE Senate
to day wiped out its three days work
on the revenue bill in the committee
of the whole and began it all over
again. 1t has practically wasted
three days time on this bill, and is
now little better off than it was be-
fore the bill was taken up. All the
work done in the committee of the
whole will be gone through with
again in the Senate.
The House completed the consid-
Grafton of the assessment bill and it
passed by bare constitutional ma
iority. Section 10, providing strict
means to keep personal property
from escaping taxation and also that
it must be shown that taxes have
been paid on notes before they can
be collected in court, was reinstated

COL. GEORGE NJ. GOVAN DEAD.
Ex-CoIonel of First Mississippi Regimen
Passes Away.

EX-Colonel of First Mississippi Regiment
Passes Away.
A special to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat from Holly Springs, Miss,
last Friday says:
"A telegram this afternoon stated
that Col. George NJ. Govan, of Nc
Comb City, Miss, died to-day at
New Orleans, where he had gone for
treatment.
He was member of Gen. Wal
thall's staff in the Confederate army
at the close of the civil war. He
was Secretary of State of Mississippi
for ten years. His last public SER
vice was as Colonel of the First Mis-
sissippi in the SDanish-American
war. He was raised in this county,
and lived for a long time i'm this
town, removing from here in 1879 to
McCOmb City. His remains will be
brought here for burial Sunday"
Col. GOvan was ranking officer
over the encampment of Mississippi
soldiers at this place last year, aud
while here made many friends who
will regret to hear Of his death.

SATURDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

NASHVILLE, April l5.-The Senate
spent the day on the Revenue Bill,
making but little progress. This
body has made such a record on the
pending bill, of undoing to-day that
which it did Yesterday, that state
ment of it's action is of no news
value. Speaker Waddell continues
to inforce the order of yesterday,
excluding from the floor all visitors
except members of the Legislature.
The Senate rules permit ex-members
on the floor, but several ex.members
were so actively lobbying that they,
too, were excluded.
The House put in this afternoon
on the Committee Road Bill, which
failed for want of constitutional
majority, receiving only forty votes
to twenty-seven against. The main
objection to the bill is that it pro-
vides for working convicts alongside
| free labor.

The Tallest Peak on the Continent Is In

Up to the present time the belief

Mt. st. Elias which rises to height
of 18,024 feet above the level Of the

nent; but the recent work done by
the United States Geological Survey
shows conclusively that Mt. St.
Elias is overtopped more than two
thousand feet by another Alaskan
peak situated about hundred and
twenty-five miles north of Cook In

as the Mckinley range. This tower
ing mountain is close to the inter
section of the siXty-third parallel of
north latitude with the one hundred
and fifty first meridian of west long

maps of Alaska as Mt. Mckinley

Residence of T. j. shaw Burned Last
Thursday Night.
The handsome residence of Mr.. 7.
J. Shaw, known as the Shelton place
and situated on the Bigbyville pike
Just south of town, was totally de-
stroyed by fire last Thursday night.
The flames were discovered about II
o'clock, and had gained such head =
way that only small portion of the
household contents could be saved.
The fire started in the rear part of
the house, but the manner in which
it originated cannot be explained.
Incendiarism, however, is suspected.
The place was a very pretty one, and
the loss on it, together with the con-
tents, will amount To several thou
sand dollars. Mr.. Shaw carried in
surance on the house to the amount
Of $1,000 and on the furniture 10 the
amount Of 500 In the Georgia Home,

$350,000 a year derived from this
source. The row started over the
item to place a privilege tax on rail-
