Monroe y. .JOhnson'S Hearing.

GREENVILLE, Mo. May 3l.-Today
closed the preliminary trial OF Mon
roe y. Johnson, charged with the
murder of Hiram y. Holiday. The
hearing OF testimony was resumed
this morning on the part OF the state,
and was completed before noon. The
testimony was the same as that given
at the Coroner's inquest. The defense
introduced several Witnesses in the
afternoon. the last being Mr.. Johnson
himself. He told in detail of his con-
nection with the tragedy. after his
suspicious of his wife We're aroused.
the planning and watching OF her par
amour and final killing Of Holiday.
About > O'Clock this afternoon the at
torneys began arguing the case. The
state Is laboring to establish the
charge Of murder in the first degree
and the holding of Johnson without
bail for the action Of the grand jury.
The defense asks that the case be made
manslaughter. Johnson will be bound
over, the only question being as to
the case being one of bail.

Arrangements have already been
partially perfected for the celebration
of numerous great special DAYS ii the
Great America Exposition at Omaha.
One of the greatest Will be Schiey
day, July ). when the gallant Cevcra's
much Wanted fleet of Spanish battle
ships and steel clad sea terrors were
battered and sunk at Santiago. will
be commemOrated in great dcmonstra-
ton. a realistic feature of which will
be a reproduction Of the great battle
by Pain, the king of pyrotechnists.
But the most realistic feature of this
celebration will be the presence OF
Admiral Schley himself. During his
visit with ex-senator Henderson in
Omaha in May a formal invitation
was extended him by President Miller
of the Exposition to attend this cele-
bration. and the gallant naval cham
pion promptly promised that nothing
shall prevent him attending unless 1t
NAV be adverse orders from the Sec
rotary of the Navy or the President.
In view OF the latters' o~ft-eNpreSSed
interest in the success of the EXPOSE
ton. it seems hardly probably that
n official duties will be imposed that
will prevent Admiral Schley from
gratifying the wishes OF the thousands
who are anxious to do him honor and
attest their affection and admiration
for the man who led the gallant fight
at Santiago.

FiI1plnos to Fight FiIipinos.

This proposition to employ the
Macabebes to fight the Tagal has two
sides. The Macabcbes are ancien,
enemies Of the Tagals. They are anx
lous to get American arms and Amer.
lean aid and renew the war against
their old foes. 1t is to the interest OF
the Americans to employ as many
flllpinos as possible in the campaigns
against Aguinaldo, so as to spare
Aaherican lives from Tagal bullets.
but particularly from the Tagal eli
mate.
there are other points to be cunsid-
cred. however. The arming and or
ganIZlng the Macabebes. though their
officers would, of course, be American.
may give them u discipline. ii skill in
the military art and confidence which

Americans If, at some future time. AN
