MANILA, April 17.-While Aguinal-
dos motley crew is shooting down its
soldiers from behind trees and skipping
forward like fieas before the American
advance, the great and generous United
States government is feeding the starv
ing Filipinos whom the insurrection
has left destitute The native men are
forced into the insurgent army as it re-
treats, their food is taken, their huts
are set on fire and the women and chill
dren left to starve or shift for them
selves like superhuous cats. The United
States army gathers these up as it pro-
ceeds, brings them into Manila and
feeds and shelters them. Besides this,
the American authorities are distribut
ing cargoes of rice among the destitute
mattress in provinces outside CT Manila.

Decision in the Markuson Case.

Journal Washington correspondence:
The supreme court today in an opinion
by Justice McKenna, affirmed the de-
cision of the United States court for the
district of North Dakota in the case of
Markuson against the warden of the
state penitentiary at Bismarck, but did
not pass on the constitutionality of the
laws relating to contempt proceedings
under the liquor statutes.
1t will be recalled that Markuson was
convicted of contempt in having sold
liquor after his conviction in the state
courts Of a violation of the state liquor
laws. The state supreme court affirmed
the judgment of the lower court, where.
upon Markuson applied in the United
States court for a writ of habeas corpus,
claiming that the state law was a viola.
ton of the fourteenth amendment of the
constitution inasmuch as it permitted a
man to be deprived of liberty without
due process of law. The application was
denied and an appeal was taken to the
supreme court Of the United States. The
decision today affirmed that rejection.
The opinion says that it has been repeat.
edly held that constitutional questions
will not be decided in habeas corpus
proceedings.
What Markusonshould have done, said
Justice McKenna, was to have asked fol
a writ of error from the United States
supreme court to the state supreme court
without going to the United States dis,

PROSPERITY.
President Mellen Tells of the Prosper
GUS Conditions Existing in
the West,

President Mellen of the Northern Pa
citic, while in New York to confer with
the directors of the road, outlines some
Of tie conditions prevailing in the west.
He said:
Labor in the west feels that it is en-
titled to get a little more while this pros
perity lasts. We have advanced wages
to about the schedules in effect before
The depression. Should we make n
further advance, we would have the
highest schedules ever in effect. There
is no dissatisfaction on our line to speak
of, nor are we afraid of any. We have
a superior class of employees. They give
us excellent service and we try to take
care of them AS we'll as we can.
business conditions throughout the
entire west continue at their very best.
| feel confident that had we had suf-
ticicnt equipment we could have earned
S50O,OOO more the first four months of
this fiscal year. Car shortage on our
line is not altogether due to the business
boom. The car shortage at this time,
however, is worse than usual, and / have
no doubt that many industries along our
line have suffered in consequence. The
most of the business that we seem to
have lost has been merely deferred.

FAME IS

The Wadena Journal has 4 sketch
of Bismarck and the new town of Will
ton on the line of the Bismarck. WASH
burn and Fort Buford road. Philip
Eastman, who is associated with Fl.
l.. Nicholson in the new store at Viii
ton is a former resident Of Wadena.
The Journal says:
The country directly around Bis
marck is probably not quite so pro-
ductive as that further north and east.
The country is hilly and very rolling,
and while the soil is mostly composed
Of the rich black dirt peculiar to the
Dakotas, it is not easily worked for
agricultural purposes. 1t is. however,
an excellent stock country. and nearly
as many cattle are raised there as fur
ther west. Bismarck has been the
center of a very large territory for
years, and as a result is a very pros
porous city Of about 5000 inhabitants.
It's merchants do business in hand
some stores, carry large and up-to-date
stocks, and the people live in tasty
and well kept houses, some of which
are very commodious and handsome.
Senator Washburn's new town Of
Wilton is situated about twenty-five
miles directly north Of Bismarck, and
is in the center OF the finest agricul-
tural lands in that section of the state.
The senator has recently purchased
several hundred thousand acres Of land
in Mclean and Burleigh counties, and
he is at present engaged in building a
railroad from Bismarck to Washburn,
seventeen miles further north Of Will
ton. The road was graded this sum-
mer for about twelve or fifteen miles
out Of Bismarck and the graders are
still working, and will continue to un-
til it freezes up. He is very anxious
to build the road to Wilton by the
early part of next summer, but he will
have to hustle if he does. 1t is quite
likely that the track will not be laid
and trains running before fall. SEN
ator Washburn's idea of building the
road is to develop the country. He
is firmly of the opinion that with the
aid Of his railroad the fertile prairies
in that section will Dol be dotted with
prosperous and contented farmers,
and that Wilton will be a typical enter
prising and thrifty little western city.
There is quite a large settlement of
farmers surrounding Wilton already,
SO the town will have good support
from the start. A large elevator, with
a capacity Of 10000 bushels, has just
been completed at Wilton, and it is
expected that it will soon be filled up
The elevator is not nearly large enough
to hold all the wheat raised tributary
to Wilton, anu a large number of farm
ers are compelled to haul their wheat
forty or fifty miles to Bismarck. AL
present Wilton is in a very primitive
state, but like all western towns it will
enjoy a healthy and steady growth
Senator Washburn is greatly inter.
ested in the future Of the new town
and intends making it an important
point.

OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGMENT,

OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The var department has made pub
lie the report Of General Lawton. Civ
ing details Of his expedition in April
last at Santa Cruz. province of Laguna.
The report is dated Aug. 1. Cen
eral Lawton says the object Of the ex-
petition was to capture Santa Cruz,
destruction of the telegraph lines. ia
cut off the enemy's retreat if possible,
and to distribute the proclamation of
the United States commissioners. This
expedition went by water from a point
opposite Manila on l1aguna lie Bay to
Santa Cruz. General Lawton then
describes the movements OIL this COM
mand, the difficult landing, the ad-
vance under Major Weisenburger and
the route of the enemy e the city.
General Lawton then describes a
gallant action:
with a view to securing a good
place to re-embark the troops. for Il
movement on Calaba, the North Dakota
battalion was sent from Longos shortly
after noon the twelfth inst, to recon
hotter the town of Paete. located about
four miles further north on the lake
shore, where it was reported n good
landing place could be found.
After advancing about one mile the
enemy was found entrenched across
the road, and Immediately opened fire
from behind an almost impenetrable
underground of mountainside.
Major Frame promptly disposed his
command and executed a flank move
ment on the enemy. who were pouring
Il heavy fire into the advance guard,
-Four of them We're killed and three
were wounded, one mortally.
OF these the latter anu three killed
belonged to a party of five fankers
who had been sent up the hillside.
Their surviving comrade, Private Thos
Shetland. Co. G, First North Dakota
regiment, remained with them, and by
his cool and unerring aim successfully
held the enemy back until reinforce.
mentS came.
Then after carrying his wounded
comrades to The rear he assisted in re.
covering the bodies of the killed. He
has been recommended for n medal of
honor.

er's daily. 1t is a condensation of thu
news for the three days preceding tn.
date of publication and it contains thu
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place JUS
outside of the sphere of the home paper
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people o
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
rangements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made.

who went out with Company A, residents
Of this city and vicinity, have found oc-

VACANT LANDS.
The Last of the Public Domain in Bur-

Commissioner Hermann OF the gen.
opal land office in his annual report
saws that there are in the counties OF
Foster. Mcintosh, Kidder, Emmons,
Burleigh and Mclean areas Of public
lands open to settlement ranging from
about 1900 acres to 100000 acres.
In Burleigh county there is consid-
cradle vacant land-in isolated claims

the line Of the Bismarck, Washburn 4

good agricultural lands along the banks
of Burnt creek and among the rough
hills of that stream. In Naughton
township can be found ideal locations
for sheep and cattle ranches. The
records of the Bismarck land office also
show many good claims filed upon and
abandoned more than seven years ago,
and of course again open to entry

houses and churches, while the coun-
try between there and Bismarck is

of this is not alone in the superior
character Of the lands at SLAUGHTER
