five days
Secretary Alger repeated bis statement
made yesterday to the effect that he had

jeotei movements towards landing at
Iloilo added that IL General Miller had
been ordered to make a landing the order

for 1t had not gone from the war depart
nent. The impression prevails, however,
that this movement is already under way
and 1t would not be surprising TO hear
within the next two days that II had been
executed. Admiral Dewey was heard from
this morning to the effect that he had
found 1t necessary TO clear out all armed
insurgents at a little village which com
mspded the land approaches to his naval
station at Cavitc. The action was
thoroughly approved at the navy depart

Washington, February 9.-The Post to-
morrow will say:
4. The army reorganization bill must
pass or the President viii call an extra
session of Congress.
THE opposition to the bill In the Sen
ate has been frequently referred to. Any
compromise whereby legislation of a
temporary character would be placed up
on the army appropriation bill will not
satisfy the administration. The Presi-
dent has determined that the passage OF
the bill shall be an issue and there Is no
doubt In administration circles that he
will be successful. II, however, any OBJ
stacles should prevent action an extra
session will surely be held.
"lhe conditions which have arisen, leave
no other course to be pursued by the
President. A decision was yesterday
rendered by the attorney general to the
effect that as soon as the ratiloations OF

The Cavalry Horse.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider. As the column
swings into line and waits the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. If
he has been six months in service, he
knows every bugle call. AS the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between his teeth. As he
moves out he will either seek to get on
faster than he should or bolt. He can
not bolt, however. The lines will car
ry him forward and after minute he
will grip, lay back his ears, and one
can feel his sudden resolve to brave the
worst and have done with ii as soon as
possible. A man seldom cries out
when hit in the turmoil of battle. 1t
is the same with a horse.-Buffalo

Id1eness and IncOmpetency Keep th q
Business Novice Down.
Walter P. Phillips, the founder of the
national newspaper corporation known
as the United Press, and the inventor
of Phillips telegraphic code, typical.
energetic American, who has put many
young men in the news gathering busi-
ness, believes that the cause of failure
everywhere among young business be-
ginners lies in incompetence.
Nine-tenths of the young men who
are struggling for a name and place in
the world are untitled for the callings
they have picked out for themselves. Be-
sides an unlimited supply of energy
and whole heartedness in the work be-
fore him, the successful man of the
future must know his business from
A to q.
The next great drawback to success
is idleness. Nothing worth while is
accomplished without work, and plenty
of it. Things do not happen without
a cause, and behind every great life
there are years of concentrated energy
and tireless industry. Idleness will
make any man a failure; intelligent
work will land any man among the
successful. 1t Is all SO simple and so
trite that one hesitates to put the fact
down in cold blood, and yet how few

placed in the City prison Saturday
morning by Special Officer McAllis-

affidavit in the Mayors court, accus-

tremely pathetic in the frail, little
woman's story, which she told in a
trembling voice and with tears in
her eyes.
"This morning he struck ME in the
face with his fist" the woman said,
"and kicked me, too, simply because
I had given my mother little bit of
coal" The woman's face bore marks
of violence. The case will likely be-
heard Monday.
