Z 1t is curious TO contrast with these
unofficial oufgivings cf news from the
brown mans country the official ex-
plantations furnished from Washington
of the object Of General Lawtons re-
cent expedition 70 Laguna de Bay and
subsequent return. The object, it II
stated was simply o. scatter broadcast
among the natives news Of the millen-
um promised by The Philippine com
mission aud copies Of the proclamation
prepared by the president Of Cornell
University. This was confirmed by the
acting adjutant. general at the War De.
partment, who was reported in Mon
days Sun as saying You have
doubtless, noticed that General Lawton
carefully refrained from burning any
Of the villages captured by him or COM
mitting any damage other than was
absolutely necessary to the success OF
his operations. l understand that he
will release oil the prisoners that he
has taken, and they will be sent to their
homes. By this action it is hoped that
he will prove to the FilipinOs that the
Americans are not as barbarous as al
legged and that we propose to treat the
Filipinos bumanely." At the same
time General Wheaton, also in command
of an expedition operating in another
direction, composed in part OF the
Tenth Pennsylvania and Second Oregon
Regiment, and before whose advance
the natives are reported to have re-
treated toward the mountains, burning
their villages behind them, telegraphs
from the field TO General OTIS "They
would not wait to be killed Is it
possible that the statement in regard TO
General Lawton's intention TO ire
lease " his prisoners is merely euphe-
mism employed at the War Department

prisoners mentioned in the soldiers

Hinchman states is now " our rule Of
procedure -" and which consists, appa-
rently, in killing all, without distinc-

THE OYSTER LAW WAR.
Attorney Generals of Maryland and
Virginia Confer.

AT the Hotel Raleigh on Saturday last
there was conference betweea Attorney
General George r. Gather, jr., of Mary
land, and Attorney General A. ]. Mon,a-
que. of Virginia, regarding the capture bv
the Virginia oyster police authorities of
TWO oystering boats owned by Marylanders.
1t is claimed by the Virginians that the
Marylanders were taking oysters in dis
puted territory. while the Maryland au-
thorities hold that when the boats were
captured they We're in Maryland waters.
Mr.. Gather said that he was not free in
announce the result of his conversation
with Mr.. Montague. II wrote to Governor
Lowndes," said he, telling him of the ont
come of the meeting, and | suppose that
Mr Montague reported to Governor TYLER
1t was at the request of the executives of
the respective States that we arranged the
meeting. You viii notice, too. that the
meeting was held upon neutral soil-in tho
District of Columbia"
The alleged illegal dredging took place
IN Tangfer Sound, in belt the sovereignty
or which-as far as the two States are
concerned-has been in doubt for several
years. The boats which were captured bv
the Virginia police boat We're taken to Ac-
comac county and their crews were lodped
In Jail.
Mr. Galther said chat an agreement was
made between Maryland and Virginia in
1894 to the effect that a Maryland boat
caught trespassing in the Virginia waters
of the Potomac River could be pursued and
captured in Maryland waters and vice
versa, but he says that this arrangement
did not apply to the Tangier Sound. He
holds that the boats recently captured
could not be legally taken in Maryland
waters.
THE Virginia Legislature he added.
passed the same kind of a reciprocal law
regarding Tangier Sound as that regarding
the Potomac River, but the Maryland Leg
islature did not pass the Tangier law. 1t
is a rather unusual state of affairs that
comes up in this controversy anyhow. he
cause there is no tribunal to which an an
peal could be taken. 1t would seem that
it ought to go to the Supreme Court of the
United States, but that is not provided for.
"If the States cannot agree upon this
question the only recourse would be for
them to go to war, and they cannot do
that, you know. / do not believe. how
ever, that there will be any serious trouble
in settling the pending case"

MARCH CROP REPORT.
The Month Unfayorable for Farm
ing OperatiOns.

The Weather Bureaus crop report for
March says: Upon the whole the season
is backward, March having been unfavor-
able for farming operations. In the Dako
tas, Nebraska, Minnesota. Iowa and Wis
consin the ground is frozen to an unusual
depth, the frost extending to depth OF
from five to ten feet in North Dakota and
Minnesota. While the average tempera-
ture OF March was somewhat above the
normal in the Southern States, the season
in that section is reported from two to
three weeks late, except in Texas, where it
is more nearly normal.
THE general condition of wheat is less
favorable than at the close of February
and, as at the close of that month the late
sown is less promising than that seeded
early. On the Pacific Coast the outlook is
most promising.
Preparations for cotton planting in
Texas are well advanced and some has
been planted in the southern part of the
State; some has also been planted in por-
tions of Georgia and South Carolina.
Some corn has been planted as far no tn
as Tennessee and Oklahoma, and farther
South a large part of the crop has been
planted"

The Coin Comes Back.

The large sums that are carried away
from Monte Carlo are very few and far
between. Generally what is won in one
day is lost the next. There are no
amusements of any kind. The admins
tration looks after this detail with ad-
mirable judgment. Every thing is abso-
lutely concentrated in the casino. This
is the magnet pur ct simple. You have
delightful concerts free Of charge, the
atrical performances with the very best
of talent at extremely moderate prices,
but all within the walls Of the all alb
sorbing casino.
Very few can resist the magnetism OF
play. If you win even a small sum, you
feel obliged to continue; II you lose,
you wish to regain, and so it goes on
until In the end you have dropped more
than you can we'll afford and are obliged
to retire a sadder but wiser man or wo-
man, with the option of applying to the
casino authorities for the wherewithal
to return home. This request is never
refused player who has lost. .-Ludgate
