CAUSED UNIVERSAL SORROW
The Widow Will be PenSiOned by
Congress.
AMOUNT PROPOSED $4,000 A YEAR
During the Engagement in Which Gen.
Lawton w as Killed Thirteen Amer
leans Were Wounded, Includ-
ing Three Officers

Manila, December 2o.-CS p. m.)-Major
General Lawton's body was brought from
San Mateo to Manila this evening, his staff
and squadron of cavalry acting as escort.
1t was found necessary to bridge the river.
The funeral will take place from his late
residence here, q mansion formerly occu-
pied by Spanish general. The body has
been temporarily placed in a vault in Ell
Paco cemetery, where many of the Ameri-
can soldiers have been inferred and a guard
of honor will be maintained. When Mrs
pleted their arrangements for returning to
the United States the remains Will be taken
on a transport with an escort of officers
for final interrment, as it is thought prob
able. in Arlington cemetery.
General Lawton's death has caused uni
versal sorrow in Manila. No American Off
Ger mad greater popularity among all ranks
and in his dealings with the natives he
commanded their respect and confidence to
a remarkable degree. The mayors whom he
installed in the neghboring towns are ans
wering to attend the funeral in a body.
To his executive ability and personal
leadership is chiefly due the brilliant exc
cution of the plan of campaign in North
Luzon, which has scattered the insurrec-
tionary forces from San Isidro to the gulf
of Iingayen. That section of the island
which had to be traversed during the very
worst of the season of the year presented
difficulties considered by all acquainted
with it to be almost insurmountable, but
General Lawton thoroughly covered the
programme assigned him.
When he reached Tayugand he found that
the 5ther division had not arrived, but he
went through to Dagupan on his own re-
sponsibility. Although he imposed great
hardships on his men he invariably shared
their lot cheerfully.
Thirteen Americans Wounded
Thirteen Americans, including three off,
GERS, were wounded in the engagement at
San Mateo, where General Lawton was
killed Captain Breckenridges wound is not
considered dangerous, although the bullet
penetrated his arm and side.
1t is estimated that the insurgents num-
bered 500 and that half of them were armed
with rifles. The Americans numbered 1900,
but the command had been much depleted
by sickness.
The wagon trains found the roads impass-
able and was obliged to return.
The insurgents retreated to the north
east, leaving six dead.
They have other forces near Taytay. This
region, although close to Manila, has proved
the most difficult from which to dislodge

A. NEW ERA COMING.
The Introduction of Motor Powez
Will Necessitate the Making
of Better Roads.

The propelling power Of the future,
in rural districts as well as in the cities,
will be electricity and compressed air.
The horseless age is almost upon us.
Great factories are now preparing to
turn out motor vehicles by the thou
sands and hundreds of thousands, and
there islittle doubt that only few years
will elapse before they will be in gen
eral use throughout the country. Not
only will motor and compressed air
vehicles be used for pleasure convey
ances, but they will be used for doing
the work of the farm and conveying
the products to the markets and ship
ping points. .t jtg Has3ifaet4.g ,g =
The use of this kind of vehicles will
necessitate the making of better roads.
They will prove an inestimable boon to
the farmer. Their advent into general
use means a new era for him. They
will do away with much Of the
drudgery of farm life and add in nu-
merous ways to its pleasure and profit.
They will greatly lessen the cost of
transporting to market his products.
thus enabling him to realize more for
his labor, even at the same prices. The
care and expense of keeping work ami
mails will be thing of the past. But
unless the people Of the country bestir
themselves for better roads tne, cities
will enjoy these Injuries for q genera
ton before they can be made practical

weedins Rye from Wheat.


The wheat-growing farmer dislikes
much to cultivate rye because wherever
grown on the same farm some Of the
rye will find its way through straw Or
manure to the fields where the wheat is
grown. It is not difficult matter TO-
separate the two grains as they grow in
the field together. The rye heads out
several days earlier than the wheat, and
it spires up foot or more higher, MAX
ing it very conspicuous. It is an easy
matter to go through the field with a
pair Of shears and clip off all the rye
heads, cutting down low enough to
reach those that are behind in growth.
Wheat that is free from rye is worth
several cents more per bushel, and, Of
course, wheat free from rye should al
ways be used for seed. s .. H.

SITUATION IS CRITICAL
But General Otis Has It
Well in Hand.
A REBEL ATTACK is RIDICULOUS
Good Results Expected From the Con-
ference Between Otis and AguI-
naldo's Representatives.

Manila, Jan. 16.-The situation here
is undoubtedly critical, but Major
General Otis has it we'll in hand, and
there is no such certainty of trouble as
many believe. The rebels are ooncen-
trated on the outskirts of the town,
and their leaders have issued strict or
ders that they shall act only on the de-
fensive. An accident might precipitate
trouble, but the idea of rebel attack
upon Manila is ridiculous, as the
Americans control the position.
Aguinaldo has republished the SEQ
ond manifesto in reply to the proclama-
tion of General Otis, which was re-
called on its first appearance, but it
has proved Intellectual.
On Wednesday, a false alarm, due
to trivial incidents occurring stimuli
taneously in opposite parts of the city,
led to general call to the United.
States forces. In Is minutes the en-
tire city was covered. The prompti-
tude Of the Americans, while it created
a scare for the moment, effectually re-
stored confidence throughout Manila,
and dispelled the excitement due to
passing fear on the part of the citizens
that an outbreak was imminent. 1t is
possible that the Filipinos, after the
diplomatic conferences that have been
held between the representatives Of
General Otis and Aguinaldo, have
finally come to understand that the
cautious and conservative policy of the
Americans is not due to fear. and they
may accept the inevitable with good
grace. 1t is evident that at present
they are unable to appreciate the full
meaning of the independence demand
ed, and when they do understand it's
extent. the American proposition will
ha accountable.

Oregon Legislature VIII Closely Con-

Salem, Or, Jan. 14.-The first week
of the legislative session closes with
81 bills introduced and read in the SEN
ate, and 1874 in the house. The house
passed the bill to add two judges to
the supreme court, and there is little
doubt that the measure will pass the
senate in due time. Two notable re-
forms have been provided for-to limit
the number of committee clerks and to
keep appropriations of doubtful merit
out of the general appropriation bill.
A bill to correct the committee clerk
ship abuse further for future legisla-
lures is before the senate, and is likely
to pass both houses. The ways and
