peka asylum. There is deep seated
opinion 10 the minds of Topeka PEG.
pie that the legislature should PASS 10
bills establishing state institutions
anywhere else so long as there is room
for them at Topeka.
When the resolution came 10 Tues.
day, Senator Jumper opposed it.
He said

that another asylum is not needed,

Senator Coleman offered an amend.

Senator Crossan suggested that the
present buildings should be completed
before any further speculation should
be INDUCED in. Mr.. Crossan moved
that the resolution be referred to the
committee on charitable institutions,
Householder, chairman.
Senator Matthews said the senate
should defer action until the report
OF the state board of charities is
received. He supported Crossan's
resolution.
Senator Farrelly, who wants an
asylum at Chanute, objected to the
CrOssan motion. He said jOcularly

There will be no contest over the speak
ership of the next House of Representa-
tives, Gen. David B. Henderson of Du-
buque, Iowa, having received pledges
which will make him the choice of the
Republican caucus. Gen. Henderson will
be the first speaker from west of the Mis-
sissippi, and the first one of alien birth in
the meaning of the law. Charles r. Crisp,
speaker of the 51st Congress, was born in
Sheffield, England, of American parents,
and was brought to this country in the
first year of his life.
Gen. Henderson was born in Old Deer,
Scotland, in 1910, and was brought to this
country at the age of six years. lie lived
on farm until he was 21. He had not
able war record. He enlisted as a pri-
vate, rose to the rank of first lieutenant,
and was then mustered out on account of
the loss of leg. He went back into the
service as commissioner of enrolment, and
later as colonel of the 10th Iowa regiment
He was admitted to the bar soon after
the war. He has been a member of Con-
gress the past Is years, and has won a
place as one of the ablest legislators.
A story has been sent out from Wash
ington that Thomas B. Reed will repre-
sent the First Maine district on the floor
of the House. This statement is not cred
tied at Mr.. Reeds home in Portland,
where Mr.. Reeds private secretary, Mr..
Allen, is working to secure the Congress
| sional nomination.

During the peace negotiations at Paris
Spain refused to sell the United States
any of the Caroline islands at any price,
but she has now disposed of the whole lot
of her remaining possessions in the Pacific
to Germany for about 5000, 900 land
other considerations" The Caroines EN-
brace, all told, $50 islets and islands,
none of which is of territorial and few of
commercial Importance except Yap and
Ponape, and they are 1900 miles apart.
The Pelew islands included in the purchase,
lie TO the west of the Carolines and include
some 200 islets, the principal island, Bah
el-Thoab, being equal in area to all the
others. The islands have great natural
resources, and are well worth opening to
honest and energetic trade. The islets in
the Ladroncs that now become German
have an area of only about so square miles,
and are of little importance, Guam, the
prize of the whole group, is a United
States possession, having been seized early
in the war last year by the commander of
the Charleston on his way to Manila from
San Francisco The only colonial posses
sons which now remain to Spain are those
in Africa, mostly along the north coast OF
Morocco, and islands in neighboring waters,
including the Canaries. AS a result OF
the war Spain loses 165, $50 miles of ter,
ritory.

There is evidently screw loose in the
bankruptcy law.
The daily list of bankrupts shows on its
face that of those who take advantage of
the law about nine out of every ten are not
business men who are trying to settle their
obligations in legal and honorable way,
but simply people who take advantage of
the bankrupt law to "beat" their cred
itors. - Burlington News.

Sudden Death OF Vermont soldier.

Luke D. Story, the popular first SER
geant of Company B, First Vermont vol
unteers, was found dead yesterday morn
ing in one of the buildings of the local gas
company at st. Albans. No marks of vio-
lence sufficient to have caused death were
found on him. He was in the employ
of the company.
An autopsy showed that Mr.. Story's
death was the result of breathing gas. Mr..
Story was born in Fairfax in 1865 and
graduated from the st. Albans High
school in 'S7. He spent two years in
Dartmouth college, and then engaged in
farming in Nebraska several years. He
was clerk in the auditing department of
the Central Vermont railroad when he en-
listed with Company B. He had been
foreman of the St. Albans Gaslight COM
pany the past two months. He was en-
gagged to be married to Effie Southwick of
Chicopee Falls, Mass, and he expected to
leave Friday for a visit with her.

Admiral Dewey sailed from Hong Kong
on the Olympia homeward bound at 4
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. While at
Hong Kong he remained on high land near
the city and his health was much inprov-
ed, but he declined all social invitations
and did not give or accept farewell din
ner. 1t is hoped that the quiet and change
of the leisurely voyage homeward will fully
restore his health. The itinerary of the
ports at which he will call is not given.
No intimation is given of change in the
date, Oct. l, at which he will probably
reach New York.

AGUINALD0 DICTATOR.
Said to Have Dissolved His Com
gTess.

Change in the American Plan of Attack
---Gen. Otis's Report on Morong Move-
ment Made Public.
1t is reported that Aguinado has dis
solved the Filipino congress and declared
himself dictator. The Filipinos at Manila
credit the report.
Gen. Lawton has adopted new tactics in
his Laguna de Bay campaign on account
of the efficiency of the Filipino secret SER
vice. Instead of the prearranged expedi-
tion of troops under Hail. Morony and
Whalley from Pasig he has prepared an
advance in any direction on a half hours
notice, lessening the chances of the enemy
learning of the plans. The son of Buen-
camino, one of the Filipino peace commits
sioners, whom Gen. Luna captured while
going to Manila, has challenged Luna to a
duel on account Of an insult TO his father.
For the first time this week Gen. Otis's
despatch dealing with the situation was
made public at Washington yesterday as
follows
"Manila, June S.-The result of the
movement on Morong providce was to
drive the insurgents to the mountains, cap
turing Antipolo and other towns of that
section with point of land projecting in
to the bay.
"The enemy retreated and scattered be-
fore our advance leaving 2j dead. Our
loss was four killed and few wounded,
mostly slight.
"The city of Morong on the only land
route around the bay is garrisoned and all
! other troops are withdrawn. The inhabi-
tants of the province profess friendship
and ask protection. Large numbers wish
to enter Manila, but are refused. The
! city population is increasing too rapidly,
| leading the natives throughout the island,
! including the active insurgent leaders, to
seek permission to send their families to
! Manila which is considered the only place
of personal security.
THE Oregon volunteers request me to
defer their time of departure to the 18th
when they will leave for Portland in the
transports Ohio and Newport. The Sixth
infantry on its arrival will relieve the Cali
fornians at Negros. Gen. Hancock sails
in few days with the Nebraska and other
troops"
