TOPEKA COMPLIMENTED.
Kansas City Journal Says Nice Things
About Us.

Topeka bows grateful acknowledge
ment of the following bouquets from
the Kansas City Journal:
Topeka did herself proud. Her peo-
PIE promised much, but they gave more
than they promised. The several COM
mittees so perfected their work that,
with ease, they care for the $4,000 visi-
tors and never a complaint was heard.
when the Twentieth Kansas left Tor
the Philippines comparatively few peo-
pie assembled to witness their depar-
ture, for, although the troops of this
nation laid the plans for a short and
hard struggle in Cuba there was no
pines really meant. Beyond the circle
of relatives and friends, few gave
thought to the boys who had assumed
the blue in response to the call of their
country.
1T was different when they came
home. Topeka promised to receive them
well and make them feel their welcome
home. Aided by the presence OF thouS-
ands of good people of Kansas, Topeka
has right royalty kept her word, and
the welcome has been all that could be
desired.
There may have been 1ealousies
prior to this day on the part of other
citizens. If so, those feelings have all
disappeared, and all unite in pra1SlnS
the earnest zeal of the capital city.
The Topeka committees promised
the finest pyrotechnic display ever wit
messed in this city. and they kept their
word, for surely there never before was
seen here such an artistic and elaborate
destruction of powder in colored lights.
The set pieces elected much praise,
while the attacks upon the sky were
brilliant and spectacular.
THE electric illuminations at the
state house were admired by all, the
waving flag on the south front being a
feature of special beauty.
The days and weeks will pass and
be lost to memory, but the scenes wit
messed here tonight will not be forgot
ten by those of the present generation
who witnessed them.
"One of the remarkable things about
the reception today was that the $4,000
visitors were handled without a single
accident. Up to midnight the police
ambulance had not been called out
once. The utmost precaution was
taken by the local police to protect life
pockets picked, but no other crimes
were reported

New York. Nov. S.-A Herald specl@i
from Washington says
With the submission of their prelin-
inary. report to the president, members
of the commission feel at liberty for the
first time since their arrival in the
United States to partly discuss the SUD-
ject of their investigation
IT wish you would say for me- salo
Admiral Dewey. that I endorse every
word of the commissions admirable re-
port I can say this with perfect pro-
priety, for the reason that did not
write it 1t was written by the literary
members of the commission after full
and free conference between US, but
on every conclusion reached we were
unanimous It is an absolutely truth
full representation of all that has nap
pened and of the existing situation
There has never been a moment
since the first gun was fired that the
United States could have withdrawn
from the islands and the reasons set
forth in the report as to why permaIl-
ent American control is essential, are
in my opinion immovabIe. There is no
other alternative. That the Tagalos
are realizing it is shown by the rapid
disintegration of Aguinaldo's ranks.
THE later advices show q. very de-
cided Improvement in the situation L
look for an early termination OF the
war. In fact I firmly believe that the
bottom has dropped out Of the lnsur-
rectiOn."

is suppressed said President Schur-
man, the United States should I'M
mediately establish government 20
be administered at first under the ol-
rection of the war department but by
successive stages to finally be placed IN
the hands of the Filipinos under Amer
lean sovereignty
MY idea is that there should be pro-
gressive self government, gradual De
velOpment of home government as the
Filipino becomes more experienced in
political affairs and sufficiently edu-
Gated to understand the questions with
which he has to deal. What the charac-
ter of this government should be is a
matter which has not been touched
+, upon by the commission in it's prelim-
mary statement. I will not say that
it has not been considered, for it has.
1t is proposed to deal carefully with
this matter in the report of the COM
mission.
I should think that at first there
should be a governor general appointed
by the president, who should be as
sisted in administering the affairs OF
the island by a cabinet composed of
representative men of the several tribes.
This would eventually develop into the
legislature of the archipelago The
provinces should be administered by
Americans or by educated F'ilipinOs
under American guidance, and the
cities and towns by mayors elected by
the people, possessing certain educa-
tiOnal, or property qualifications or
both. as may be determined. It seems
to me that the constitution prepared
for the island of Negros by the COM
mission is an excellent instrument to
consider in connection with the govern
ment to be given to the island of

LIVE FILIPINO.
He Came to Topeka With the Twen-
tieth Kansas.

The little Filipino boy was on the sec
ond section of the Twentieth Kansas
trains, and attracted a great deal of at
tention both in San Francisco, and all
along the route to Topeka. At every
station where the train stopped, as soon
as it was known that the Filipino was
on board, the crowd would call for him,
and he would be trotted out for inspec-
ton.
Lieutenant c. H Ball of Ottawa, is
especially interested in the boy and in
tends to put him in school so that he
may be educated. The boy can not
speak nor understand much English,
but he is quick to learn. He is about
Is years of age, and of dark brown skin.
His face is badly marked with the scars
of smallpox.
The boy has been with the Twentieth
since its departure from the Islands.
On the day Of the sailing of the trans
port, he came on board the ship and
some of the soldiers talked with him
about going with them. He seemed
anxious to come TO America, and when
the transport sailed, he accompanied
the regiment. The members of the regi-
ment gave him clothes and ether neces-
saries, and in return he did odd jobs for
the soldiers.

AS TO MILITARY UNIFORMS.

IFrom the Chicago Times-Herald.1
Two or three women were discussing
parades in general the other day, with
naturally the latest parade fresh in
their minds. They remarked also that
the American uniform had now become
so strictly utilitarian that it was no
longer decorative. Sober blue clothes,

not show up well on a parade. Then
said one of the men present: Yet to
my mind our uniform is the most bust
neSSli6e of any. 1t expresses the
American spirit, plain and practical
We are not given to clarifying war with
coats of many colors, plumed helmets,
laced and braided Jackets. sabretaches
and similar gimcrackery. All our
fighting men are dressed alike in the
most suitable garb for the work they
have to do. The matter of making
them effective on parade is a childish
consideration
That sounded sensible and the women
heartily agreed with him. Then the
other man of the party, and he was an
old soldier. observed: Il am not so
sure that the plain uniforms are good
thing. Love for finery is inherent in
the human breast and the service might
well offer that poor inducement. Nor
am I so sure that it is a good thing
to uniform all regiments alike. can
remember the close of the French and
Italian war with Austria Never had
the French troops shown more dash
and unhesitAting courage, both in at
tack and defense, than in that short,
Drl1nanr campaign. On their return
they were received with the utmost en-
thusiasm and we will all admit that,
regarded merely as a spectacle, the
striking uniforms and regimentaI flags
were fine. Shortly afterward a move
was made abOlishing some of the most
distinctive uniforms. They were all to
look alike, principally on the ground of
making it simpler to provide military
clothing in large quantities. Old Gen
eral Fleury opposed it. He said the
move would destroy the esprit de corps.
He said: I greatly fear that such fine
troops will never be seen in France
again And they never were. I am in
clined to think that fine feathers make
fine birds in more senses than one. At
any rate, when a regiment becomes his
toric and certain deeds of arms are as
ISOLATED with a certain uniform, it
might be good thing to keep it. We
all know of the cutlery made when some
years ago it was suggested that the
British army should no longer wear it's
famous red coats In a smaller way
the highland regiments objected to Civ
ing up the kilt. Even here in America,
West Point still clings to it's cadet
gray, and the 9TH Regiment of New
York buys it's own uniform rather than
wear a different one provided by the
state'
And then the women present agreed
with the last speaker.

How He Operated the Philippine

When. asked about Lieut.. John J.

A1etcalf said:

got in there at about 6 o'clock. He took
several men from the regiment who knew
something of the work and went to the
railroad shops There were the wrecks or
six engines. By 2 O clock that morning ne
had an engine in readiness and by day
light had a train into Manila. For such
merftoriouS work at that time and all the
time after, 1 recommended him for
commission as second lieutenant He
asked to be given discharge so he could
remain in the Philippines. The service
needed him and he was transferred as
first Lieutenant to another regiment in
order that he might continue the work.
After he got the road to running 1t did
2 bigger business than it ever did before.
He was general superintendent. train
master and all Major Duval has the
same opinion of him that 1 have. The
fact that they wished to retain him shows
what good work he is doing

three acts the great singer, who has

pointing to her throat and coughing,
that she could not repeat a song.

nounced that after November 1 an export
duty of two cents a bushel would be

life of the coast. The Americans have

proposed affects only the Americans.
Were it not for the disorganized condition
