MUCH SICKNESS.
MANILA, Sept. 5, via Hongkong,
Sept 9.-The censor has refused to
allow the following dispatch, the ac-
curacy of which is unquestioned, to be
telegraphed:
The surgeons reports in regard to
the condition of General MacArthur's
division showed that SO per cent of the
officers and 25R per cent of the en-
listed men are sick. This includes the
sick in quarters and those sent home.
Eleven per cent of the enlisted men
sick in quarters are mostly suffering
from dysentery and malarial fever.
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
WASHINGTON Sept. General
Otis has been instructed in framing his
plan of campaign for the dry season to
allow for the fullest participation of
the naval forces now in the Philip
pines, and as soon as he has been
heard from the necessary orders will
go forward to the naval commanders
to cooperate with the army to an eX-
tent not before contemplated. The ma
val officers have always been willing
to do this, but they have been re-
strained in their operations by an in
disposition to interfere in any quar-
ter with the plans Of the military COM
manders. The ships will undertake to
capture any of the ports now in insur-
gent possession that may be desired by
the army, and also to hold them in
definitely, thus making it possible to
open the railroad in LuZOn from the
northern extremity, while in Cavite
province, with the large force of ma
rineS now on hand, it is believed that
the navy can undertake to relieve the
soldiers stationed there and make a
valuable force for other operations.
TWO COLORED REGIMENTS.
WASHINGTON, Sept AN order
for the organization of two colored
regiments was issued from the War
Department today. All the field Off
GERS of these two regiments are white
men now in the regular army.
All the companies are colored men
who served in the war with Spain in
either the regulars or the volunteers.
The regiments will be designated the
Forty-eighth and Forty ninth Volun-
teer Infantry. The Forty-eighth will
be organized at Fort Thomas, Ken
lucky, and the Forty-ninth at Jeffer |
son barracks, Missouri.

the municipalities. state and na- tional governments, would en- danger our political institutions by creating so large number of governmental employcs. While there is perhaps something to create shadow of fear along this line vet we question whether these people ever took into considera- ton to what extent tho corpora tions and trusts now usurp the power of the people in political affairs. 1t can be safely said that all political conventions are to q greater or less extent controlled by corporations, through their at torneys and political strikers and all observing men are aware that this tendency is growing in pro- portion as the trusts and corpora lions gain power.
 The St. Louis Republic. under the head of Power of Trusts in Future, prophetically outlines this growing evil as follows:
 "Gonirolling absolutely the bulk of the wealth and property of the country. Us they soon will if not checked, trusts will control the machinery Of goyernmcnt They will virtually own the sources of livelihood and by exertng the power in their hands not only pay whatever scale of wages to the workers that may suit trust con yenicnee and trust greed, but will direct the sulfraees of the wage earners under the threat of disem- ploYnent and penury.

Dr. ]. R. Davis returned from Joplin Friday a. m., where he was summoned to meet and confer with Chief Surgeon Aver of the Pittsburg & Gulf system regarding the railroad hospital at this place. While at Joplin Dr. Aver and Dr. Davis conferred with tbe Sisters Of Charity at that place regarding taking charge of the hospital here, but as their rules did not permit of their going out of the state they could not entertain the proposition, so it was determined to go to Little Rock at an early date and confer with Bishop Fitzgerald and the Sisters there about taking charge.

It was estimated that between 505 and 600 people were the park at the beginning Of the dance.
 The grand march was announced at 9:3o and was led by Mir. and Mrs. T. ]. Clayton, followed by many of the dancers. It was conceded to be the prettiest and best executed march ever witnessed at public ball in this city After tue grand march had ended the floor was kept warm by the contlnu- ous dances throughout the evening.

 The occasion, as previously an- nounced in the star, was the second annual ball given by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and it reflects much credit to the order. and especially to those having the affair in hand, and wien the B. of R. T. announces another ball they may be assured of a large crowd,

From the number of gowns in which
the new satin-faced cloth is used that
l saw at that wedding, one would sup
pose that all London had simply become
crazed over it. This cloth comes either
plain or thicllly ribbed, and is as pure
and soft as satin. 1t is light and cling
ing, which makes 1t particularly suit
able to the present mode of dress. In
colors there are dark blues sprinkled
with tiny white stars, reds with u
tiny dot of white, and variety of plain
colors in all of the newest shades, such
as turquoise blue, uhlan blue, reseda,
rose pink, ivory white and butter
color.
Among the gowns which 1 saw was
one of this satin-faced cloth in reseda
shade made up with mirror black vel
vet and white lace. The underskirt was
made of the mirror velvet in deep
flounce with two pipings around the
bottom that formed a very narrow
founce. The bodice and long pointed
tunic was of the satin-faced cloth and
cut in trailing founce. This was
outlined with novel and very effect
i've applique embroidery. 1t had a
round yoke and very high collar of
rich lace with pipings OF the velvet
! around.
Another, that was among the most
beautiful gowns that l saw, was a prin-
cess of rose pink satin-faced cloth. This
had a pointed front in an apron-lilSe eff
feet of rich cream guipure lace, pointed
above the waist line and at the knees,
both front and back. Around the bot
tom of the skirt was a perfect foam
of accordion-plaIted frills of cream
mousseline de sole, headed with a deep
applique of the gulpure lace. A deep
pointed yoke, a high collar and points
on the top of the tight sleeves were Of
the guipure lace.
Another was made entirely Of guipure
lace over foundation Of butter-colored
faced cloth. This was of a much lighter
weight. Around the bottom of the skirt
of this gown were four flounces of but
ter-colored faced cloth, each founce be-
ing edged with bouillonne of mousse
line de sole, the guipure lace falling in
deep tunic effect over the flounces.
The bodice and sleeves fit perfectly
tight, with deep pointed revers in the
front, and scarf knotted in a loose tie
and falling just below the waist line
Of mousseline de sole. This gown was
fastened down the back with black vel
vet rosettes.
There was one very smart gown of
! white crepe de chine trimmed with mar
row black velvet that attracted my at
tention. 1t was made with deep ac-
cordion-plaited flounce of the crepe de
chine. A round bodice with a pointed
tucked yoke of white satin. On each
side of this yoke were rosettes of black
velvet, and at the left side the long
loose ends Of the velvet were fastened
to the waist line with a rosette, and
the ends of the velvet fell in many loops
to the bottom Of the skirt.

The EneHshqon1an Does Not AfoSv the
African War Effect Her Go4uns.

1t was one OF this class of weddings
that had the pleasure of attending al
most before l had had time to brush
the travel stains from my gowns. 1t
was a wedding that was only hurried a
little, for it would have occurred any
way some two weeks later, but the
groom had been ordered to join his reg
iment for service in South Africa, and
the sweet little bride merely donned
her wedding gown few days earlier in
order to accommodate the government.
l do not intend to tell you one thing
about the brides gown, for, while it
was pretty and sweet, yet it was just a
wedding gown, and much like hundreds
of others that are worn for similar
occasions each year.
