for volunteers w5ll again receive con-
sideration."
Just what the real situation Is can
not be known with accuracy in the alb
sence of the whole truth, as every
word allowed to be published in this
country is subjected to official scru-
ting; but there is no doubt that we had
narrow escape from disaster on Tues
day, and that the rapidly disintegrat-
ing insurgents" were enabled to put up
the stiffest fight of the campaign after
all the defeats they have sustained is
not reassuring. 1t is current in Of
fetal circles at Washington that, al
though sick reports have been careful
~ suppressed, fully one-third of the
American force are unfit for duty
through illness. and that General Otis
has but 10000 men available for active
operations in the field and this num-
Der daily grows less.
The flower of the American army,
old, tried and experienced troops, is
being sacrificed in the Philippines at
an appallingly rapid rate, and other
thousands will follow, either to the
hospital or the grave, before the end
OF this wretched business is even in
sight. The rainy season is now well
on, when active operations will be i'm
possible, according to as high an au-
thority as Surgeon General Sternberg.
We must put in the next four months
in endeavoring to hold on to what we
have, and in rushing across the sea re-
Inducements and supplies for the au-
tumn and winter campaign Mean
while the Filipinos will make equal
preparations, and so the war will drag
on.
And the administration brought it
all about, without excuse, without adj
equate knowledge of the situation, and
now dare not let the people know the
facts.
1t is pretty mess, from any point
Of view, and one entirely discreditable
to us as nation.

cities where labor troubles exist
They are unable to recognize the law
lessness which characterized the
opening days of the Cleveland street
railway strike, and dismiss without
remark the almost daily scenes of
violence enacted at Buffalo, where two
hundred shots were fired no longer
ago than Tuesday, and several men
IrIere wounded. These events excite no
in - minds of those who
seek - anne their own city; but
they calmly continue, by word Of
mouth, private letter and public pub

very Tar from deserved.
Strikes are by no means confined to
Wheeling. They occ1r in all portions
of the country, and at all times. We
have had no more than our share; in
fact, it is probable that, considering
the size Of our city, and its industrial
character, there are fewer labor
troubles here than elsewhere. AS to
violence, it is practically unknown.
and has been for many years. No
shots have been fired here by angry
mobs, the streets have not been block

land, we have not been compelled to
call for troops, as has been done times
without number in other American
cities. In fact, no event has occurred
within out city limits, that could not

single police officer, and Police Court

tention, and whether settled in a few
days or it drags along for as many

has been and will be no occasion to

one and our people as rioters. The

most citizens do not. But there are
no hard feelings, and peace and quiet
reigns. The situation is an unidentified
public nuisance; but it should not be
represented as worse than it really Is.

A st. Cloud, (Minn.,) dispatch, under
date of March 18th, furnishes US the fol-
lowing information:
George E. Churchill has returned
from Boulder, Mont, where he went to
administer the estate left by Henry
Dahlman, the wealthy miner, who WAS
murdered by companion early last
month. Mr.. Churchill found the estate
worth great deal Of money, rs repre-
sented by the young widow, but under
the laws of Montana the administrator
must be resident Of that state. Mrs.
Dahlman will, therefore, be appointed
administrative, and the estate will be
divided between herself and the lDur-
dered mans father and mother, living
hear WiIlmar. The family has just re-
fused An offer of $1O0, 600 for the mine,
which is the princi pal assets, and there
is also $40 600 life insurance.
About thirteen years ago, the Henry
Dahlman referred to above, spent about
six months in our employ on our ranch
at Willard, on the Mouse river, and will
be remembered by many Of our Me-
Henry county friends. At that time he
was a poor, but honest and industrious
young man. barely out of lis teens
Since then, by his industrious and frugal
habits, he amassed fortune, but il
seems a murderous companion cut short
his career in the path to future aff1u
ence.

According to o report made to the

Minister Allen, Korea has never had
proper survey made of it's lands. The
treasury department knows in rough
manner the extent of titled fields as
they existed few hundred years ago,
but new land brought under cultiva-
tion is apt to be known only to the
country officials. who draw much of
their considerable revenue from taxes
on this new land. The people, Of
course, get no relief, for they will be
most thoroughly taxed, whoever gets
the money. Taxes are now paid in
kind, and land is listed as rice land,
which is the best and most profitable,
~ upland, which is used for barley,
wheat, beans, etc. 1t has now been
decided to have complete survey
made OF the whole peninsula, prelim-
mary to Il just and proper assessment.
