According to Maj. William Simpson,
u. S. A. chief of the military informa-
ton bureau, the latest news bears out
what has been said before, that the
insurgents forces seem to be disinte-
grating, and that Aguinaldo did not
take a large force with him in his
flight. The estimate of the Filipinos'
strength, now less than 5000 all told,
bears out this view, as only a short
time ago they were thought to have
at least thirty thousand under arms.
The extremely vigorous movements
of our troops, Notwithstanding the
difficulties they have had to contend
with. seem to have thoroughly dis
heartened the insurgents, and they
are not showing nearly as much fight
as they did earlier in the campaign.
Aguinaldo's move to the east, instead
of to the north, indicates that he did
not expect much aid or sympathy
from the nocans. Vigan on the west
coast, is a Filipino post, but it is said
they have to be prepared there against
not only the Americans, but also
against the natives in that part of the
country.

In the death of Vice President Ho-
bart, which occurred at his home IN
Paterson, New Jersey last Tuesday,
the nation has sustained serious loss.
Mr.. Hobart had more influence in the
affairs of the government than any
vice president of recent years, the
most cordial relations having always
existed between the Vice president
and President Mckinley, and their
hearty CO. operation has been mark
ed contrast to the constraint usually
seen between these two officials.

shortly to assemble, the Senate Com
mittees will be changed so as to give
the republicans nine of the commit
tees having thirteen members and
seven of those having eleven. This will
make the Finance committee anti sill
yer for the first time i'll years, and
will insure the prompt reporting of
any financial bill that the republican
leaders may wish to pass. This will
be fair apportionment of the COM
mittee memberships, as the repubi-
cans will have ffty-one Senators,
without taking account of the four
vacancies-one each from California,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Utah
if Senator Hayward, of Neb. lives, and
fifty if he dies and is succeeded by a
dem-pop, while there are only thirty
five Senators-twenty eight demo-
Gratis and seven pOpulists or silver
republicans, ON the opposition side.
1t will not cause any silver Senator to
be removed from the Finance COM
mittee, as there are two vacancies
left by the retirement of White and
Turpie; these will simply be filed by
republicans which will make the COM
mittee stand seven gold to six silver
men.

said emphatically: ''Kansas will give
Mckinley not less than $4,000 major

thoroughly in accord with his view
our people are"

The Burlington Free Press points
out that twenty of the twenty-five
senators Vermont has had have had
no previous congressional experience
before being elected to the senate,
and that among this number were
ever had, such men as Proctor and
Edmunds. n This proves no rule, and
is not the slightest argument in favor
of its candidate, Ex-Governor Dill
ingham. Other things being equal, a
senator would be much better equip
ped to at once take position Of infu-
ence in that body, having had
experience in the lower house. No
one will deny that both Senators Ed
munds and Proctor would have been
at an advantage the first years they
were in the senate had they had a
house career. So Ewith the present
contest. Gen. W. W. Grout is the
peer of Ex-Governor Dillingham; or
any other aspirant for the position, in
ability. He has the added advantage
of nine terms of distinguished and
successful service in the house. Yer
mont will do itself an injustice not to
reap the benefit of this long service
and large acquaintance and intimate
familiarity with affairs of the nation
by putting General Grout in the senate.

The amount of criticism which Ad-
miral Dewey was subjected to when
it was known he had made his house
over to Mrs. Dewey, and before the
public knew that it was to be decided
by her to the Admiral's son, must
cause him to think that the house was
not given him and that if at any time
his actions should not suit the public
he may be asked to vacate the prem

RACE WITH A SCORCHER.
Bicycle Policeman Makes Swift Ride
After COlOred Man.

Bicycle Policeman Cover of the first pre-
cnct arrested Robert Houchins, colored,
last night for speeding his bicycle. James
R. Warren, also colored, who was racing
with Houchins, was arrested by Police
man Simpson. An additional charge Of
assault was preferred against Houchins,
and the latter's sister, Mrs. Mary Burnett
was also charged with assault.
1t was few minutes after o'clock, it
is said, when the bicycle policemen saw
the colored men racing along PENNSYLVANIA
avenue. The officers went in pursuit and
overlook them at Az street. Warren stop
ped when the officers called to him, and
Officer Simpson took charge of him. Houch-
ms, however, started to speed away, and
Cover had to do lively piece of scorch-
ing to keep In sight of him. The officer
was close behind him when he reached
his home at Delaware avenue and LIST
street southwest, after going over the
toughest pavements in that section
When the officer finally overlook Houch-
ms, in the latter's yard, he reports a des-
perate struggle took place in which Houch-
ing lost most of his clothing. Mrs. Bur
nett and other members of the family par
ticipated in the row, it is charged, and
several hundred colored people soon col
lected in the vicinity of the premises Some
threats were INDUCED in and ono hrick
was thrown.
The policeman, fearing violence and see
ing his prisoner was about to be rescued
drew his revolver and ordered the crowd to
stand back. The sight of the weapon had
the desired effect, and when the crowd
stampeded men and women tumbled over
each other. Just about this time RicvcIe
Policemen Plemmons and Gibson of the
sixth precinct arrived upon the scene.
Houchins and Mrs. Burnett were then ar

MONUMENT CORNER STONE.
Its Rescue From q Wreck By Navy
Yard EmpIOyea.

There was a spontaneous outburst Of pa
triotism over half a century ago. remark
ed an old resident Of Washington, II think
IN 1S47, IN which several hundred men and
boys from the navy yard took part, and 1
am proud that was among them This
was when the corner stone of the Washing
ton national monument, a massive cube of
marble, was being hauled on a heavy truck
to the grounds. 1t reached the bridge over
the old Tfber creek, canal, successfully.
Here the planking of the bridge gave way
and the truck stuck. 1t was not long ere
the workmen in the yard learned OF the ac-
cident, and with one accord they assembled
and resolved to knock off work and extri-
cate the stone
Forming a procession, the line Of march
was taken up by Sth street and the avenue
Tor the bridge. Gen. Henderson, command
Ing the marines, learned what the object
OF the turnout was, and detailed martial
music, and furnished the men with a large
American flag, both Of which were accept
able, and as the volunteer workmen march
ed up the avenue probably much en-
thusiasm was created, when their object
became known, as was ever witnessed on
tine avenue. There were no gaudy uniforms
In line, the garb of the workmen being the
dress of the day.
On arriving at the scene of the accident
those who had been engaged in efforts to
raise the truck gave way to us. John F.
Tucker and Joseph Padgett whose long ex-
perience in handling massive bodies was
we'll known, took the general direction of
the work, and in little time the truck and
Its load were raised, ready to be hauled to
IT'S destination.
THE men would not allow oxen, horses
or mules to be attached to the truck, and,
upon being attached, the men and boys
hauled the stone to the grounds, the line
headed by the music and flag amid the
cheers of the men in line and the many
hundreds who had been attracted to the
scene. OF those who participated, over
three hundred, I can recall John Simons, G.
X Wilson, Lem Gaddes, w. E. Hutchinson
Thos: Harrison. James Wilson, now living
and James A. Marceron, who died recently

IN local Masonic circles, died on April Is
last and was buried May l, at 3 O'clock
from his late home. 2414 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., near Path street. He had been Ill for
nearly three years. Deceased was a chap
ter Mason, a Knight Templar and a mem
Der of the Mystic Shrine. His genial tenn

field carried on the business of a stevedore
being associated with Mr.. E. S. Alvord, the
firm being known as Littlefield Alvord &
Co, with headquarters at Easby's wharf
The business for a long time was extensive
and profitable. A decline in health brought
business reverses, and finally the deceased
lost all interest in The firm and he was
forced to retire.
Lyman A. Littlefields war experience was
an unusually severe one On the Sth of
September, 1863, he was taken prisoner
with los others during a naval expedition
below Charleston He, with his companions
was placed in the magazine in Fort Sum-
ter, the next day being removed to Charles
ton jail, where all We're kept a week with
only handful of mush per day for food.
A plan to break Jail was here discovered
and the prisoners were sent to Columbia,
S. c., and incarcerated. Later they were
taken to Richmond and confined in Castle
Crew for four months. In February fol-
lowing they were taken to Andersonville,
Ga, where they were kept until September
s, the anniversary of their capture. Final
ly, when on exchange of prisoners was
agreed upon, Mr.. Littlefield was among the
fortunates sent north. When he arrived in
