II Wood Hnd Been There,

II the remark attributed to Admiral
Dewey by the New York Tribune" was
really made by him. it carries very small
modicum of comfort for the hackers OF
the Otis and DENLY combination. Dewey
is represented as saying: IF Leonard
Wood had been in command of the forces
at Manila, there would have been no war;
or, if there had BEEN it would not have
lasted more than six weeks"

may well be asked, what interest, if any.

What was it that the Filipinos asked that
Leonard Wood could have arranged without
bloodshed. but as to which Otis or his su-
periors preferred war to concession or ne
gotiation?
There always has been more or less mys-
terry attaching to the outbreak of the
Tagal insurrection. Probably it could be
quite cleared up if Admiral Dewey were to
be summoned to testify on the subject be-

A PROMISE OF PROSPERITY.
Illinois Street Car Company Men "a
Have Big Wages.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Prosperi;y such as
the employees Of the Illinois Steel Works
never before experienced is said to prevail
at the South Chicago plant of the company
On January l there will be record break
ing advance in wages amounting in some
cases to 10 per cent in the compensation
Of the steel rail workers. This is because
OF the failure of the company to readjust
the sliding scale contracts with the men
June last. Now there can be no change
before June l. 1900. and until that time
wages will be based on the present contract
between the workingmen and the company.
At the present time the railmen. about
300 in all. consisting Of heaters. cranemen,
roll hands, shear men, and rail straighten-
ers. are working On scale based on the
minimum rail price of SIS a ton. At this
figure these men. all skilled workmen. are
receiving pay aggregating from s75 to s150
a month.
The sliding scale is based on a minimum
and maximum price of SIS and S34 ton.
Should prices fall below or go above these
figures the pay remains the same. Contracts
for 100000 tons Of steel rails at sS5 a ton
go into effect January !. Because of this
the men employed in their construction
will be paid at the $34 rate from and after
that date. Some of the men will receive
upwards Of $500 a month. None will be
paid less than $50, and a few will even
exceed the former figure.

struck with consequences that the au-
thorities do not wish the public 10 know.
But this suspicion may prove to have
been baseless. 1t is almost as probable
that Sir Redvers Butler has been pushing q
movement for the succor of Ladysmith the
success Of which might be endangered by
any word OF it getting out, and around to
the headquarters of the enemy. Those who
take this view hope the grim silence may
mean that Lord Methuen has been able to
send General Hildyard with six or seven
thousand men to Esteourt, and that this

Colenso. 1t is certain that something or
other Of the most serious importance is
being held down by the rigid thumb of the
censor. What it is we can only guess be-
tween the widely separated poles of victory
and dire disaster.
at this moment is an anxious one The
menace of the Russian movements in Asia
renders it urgently necessary that British
arms in South Africa should not suffer a
reverse. Success in raising the siege OF
Ladysmith and in defeating the Beers
would vastly help Great Britain in Europe.
The fall of that place. on the contrary,
might mark the beginning Of complica-
tions and aggressions to meet which would
badly strain the resources of the British
Empire.

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER Is, 1899
The Affair of san JacintO.

IL is a popularity OF the effort TO sup
press Aguinaldo's insurrection that, when
ever Otis is convinced that the rebels are
broken up and scattered, and that there is
NO prospect of their future serious stand
in the northern provinces they straight
way develop renewed activity and appear
in such force as to give our field generals
great deal of trouble. This has proved to
be true in the case of the fight at San
Jacinto as it has in dozen other in
stances since last February
1t not only appears that Aguinaldo' :
army had not dissolved into small parties,
skulking for the mountains to escape, when
our troops appeared in front of San Jacinto,
but that the place was defended by its rear
guard, and one large enough to make a
very pretty resistance. That would be a
small matter. however. II there were not
good reason to fear that the failure of
Wheatons and Young's brigades to effect a
junction beyond San Jacinto has afforded
the Tagal leader an excellent chance TO
move between them and make good his es-
cape with his main body, to Bayombong,
or TO La Trinidad, whence his way to the
coast would be clear and easy.
We are sorry if this accident has hap
pened. because the Administration is ex-
tremely anxious TO catch the pestiferous
Malay agitator. 1t will be a lucky chance
that puts him in our power. He is not
general-in n-chief who thinks it wise
or we'll to be with his troops. Agui-
naldo may not be a Washington, a Lafay-
cite, and a Lincoln as Senator Hoar and
few other sympathizers regard him, but,
what is more TO the present purpose. he is
very much of an Otis. His idea has always
been to remain in the nearest approach to
palace he could find. and there make him.

that We can hardly hope he will be without

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
According TO Mr., Brixtow's Report
II Is Too Expensive.

- AOO EXDcubINc.
According to the recent report OF Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow.
the rural free 4eaitery scheme is not the
success 1t was expected TO be. Therefore,
when the House Committee on Postofices
and Postroads begins the consideration Of
the Postoffice Appropriation bill next
month, il is not at all improbable that it
will make a large cut in the appropriation
for the extension Of, rural free delivery.
Last year: Cdngrfts appropriated about
100000 for this purpose on the assump-
tion that the rural free delivery service
could be made self sustaining but the re-
port of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General makes it clear that rural free de-
livery is really an expensive luxury against
which the taxpayers may be expected to
protest
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow says in his report:
The extension OF the rural free
delivery service throughout the coun-
try has resulted in the discontinuance
Of eighty postoffices, the salaries of the
postmasters at said offices aggregating
s4,719. Upon the urgent request of the
patrons, a number of these offices have
been re-established. and many more re-
quests for re-establishment were on file in
the department at the close Of the fiscal
year that had not been acted upon"

The New Mauser.

From the New Orleans Times -Democrat)
THE new Mauser pistol. with which our
cavalry is about to be armed, is horrible
looking piece Of machinery" said an aes-
thetic New Orleans sportsman yesterday
1T doesn't resemble firearm at all, but
looks like some strange scientif-
ic instrument such as one might
see in Laboratory. Imagine a
cigar box, iapanned black, with
a handle at one end and a short tube at
the other, and there you have it! The
box contains the mechanism and the tube
spouis bullets. 4 The cavalryman Of the
past was dashiHg figure. He wore a
steel cuirass aud q helmet with nodding
plumes, and, while he carried a brace of
pistols in his heiseFs. his real weapon was
his trusty sabpe. Do you remember the
splendid fellows who are galloping past
Napoleon in Meissopnier's 1907? Since
then science has gradually sucked all the
poetry out of war, and the Mauser pistol
is the last word of, brutal utilitarianism.
The cavalrymapy of the future will carry
will closely resemble surgeon going out
to operate for appendicitis. When he gets
to the right spot, designated by the En-
gineer Corps, he will dismount, open the
box, take out his hideous Mauser machine,
hook the case to one end, so as to form a
shoulder rest, spray few quarts of pro-
jectiles in a given direction, and go home
again to rest after the fatigue Of the fray
II the calculations Of the range finder are
all right his bullets perforate somebody a
mile away. That will be war la mode
In some respects it is a great improvement
on the old style, but it will inspire no
poets Imagine Tennyson writing the
Charge of the Light Brigade about a cav
airy regiment armed with Mauser auto
matics!"

BulIer,. ominou. silence.

The opinion is general In London today
that important events are occurring in
South Africa. concerning which Sir Red
vers Butler is unwilling that the world
should hear. Not word has come from
Ladysmith in five days. The British pub
lie is disposed to be pessimistic in conse-
quence of this silence. particularly in viey
of the announcement that the censorship
has been applied even to cipher messages
addressed TO foreign governments by their
agents in South Africa
The single exception has been made in
favor of dispatches between the Portu-
guese government and its governor at
Lourenco Marques. and probably there are
restrictions on this privilege, designed to
prevent the leakage of war news. Other
wise, if anything in the nature of a dis
aster had happened in Natal. the fact
would transpire through this avenue of
communication.
Several days ago We summed up the
situation at Ladysmith, with the remark
that the fate of the garrison depended
upon the result Of the race between Jou-
eert's siege guns and re-enforcements, and
the relief column to come from Durham.
On Friday last Sir George White was
holding out and apparently confident; but
the Boer assault in force, which all mill
iary experts have felt sure would be de-
livered before Methuen's division could
leave the coast. had not then been sus-
tanned. There is an uncomfortable feeling
abroad in England that this blow has been
