Senator Burrows says it Is not So;
that he has been misquoted; that he is
not against the administration. Few
people thought he would want to be.
And just as few thought he ought to be.

So, Senator Burrows is not against
the administration. He is only against
the administration imperial policy.
Well, here is the way he modifies his
former statement. He says:
"There can be no question as to the
correctness of my statement that if the
war in the Philippines is not ended be-
fore next campaign it would be to the
disadvantage of the Republican party
But" he adds, 'I expect to see the

The right of labor to organize for its
own advancement and protection
should never be questioned. But labor
organizations owe it to themselves to
watch carefully that they do not fall
into the hands and control of the dis
turbing element found in almost every
union. Eternal watchfullness of
this class is the price Of unionism.

$4,000 to $4,000. This Is pretty good
for Millionaire Mills, but, no doubt if
Mr.. Mills were to list his personal

its real value the same as poor folks
do, he would raise it from $4,000 to
S15O,OO0. Still Mr.. Mills is moving in

steamers by the Colombian cruizer
Hercules, under General Rodriguez;
accompanied by the steamer Colom'

The irsurgent steamer, the Drag,
was rammed and sunk, while smaller
ones were captured after sanguin'
ary fight. Then the Cisneros' with
the surviving insurgents, escaped
into Rio Blanco. The insurgents lost
$50 men and the loss Of the steamers

Fears That the War Office is SuppressinE
Bad News.
News that Colenso has been eyac-
uated was another bitter pill for the
British public, and is arousing fears
that the continental statements OF
second serious defeat OF General
White may prove true. A significant
fact is that the war office does not say
when Colenso was evacuated, so the
statement which emaninated from
DR.. Leyds, the diplomatic representa-
tive of the Transvaal, who is located
at Brussels, that he Beers had occu-
pied Ladysmith, was positively true.
There is much apprehension that the
war office is suppressing bad news.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
The System is Heartily Advocated by
Perry s. Heath.

The System is Heartily Advocated by
Perry s. Heath.
A vigorous plea for rural free de.
livery is made in the annual report
Of First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Perry S. Heath, made public
Sunday. Mr.. Heath says the ser
vice so far has resulted in increased
postal receipts; enhancement of the
value Of furm lands reached by rural
free delivery of from 50 to $3 per
acre; general improvement Of the
condition of the roads traversed by
the rural carrier; better prices for
farm products, the producers being
brought into daily touch with the
state OF the markets, besides educa
tional Benefits conferred by relieving
the monotony OF farm life through
ready accounts to wholesome litera-
ture and knowledge of current events.
On Nov. rural free delivery was
in successful operation over 1888 SER
vice lines, radiating over forty states
and one territory, Idaho, Wyoming,
Mississippi and Montana being the
only states unrepresented. Between
the beginning Of the new fiscal year,
July l, 1899, and Nov. l, at an addi-
tional expenditure of $50, 900, rural
free delivery has been extended to
nearly 100000 persons at an annual
cost OF about 81 cents per capita
against an average per capita cost of
81 80 in small towns of 5000 popu-
lation.

MOVING upon DAGUP4A
Fleet of Transports and Gunbo BATS
Lelye Manila.
70 ATTACK northern PATS OF LUz0Y
Aguinaldo and His Followers
Into the Mountains or
Surrender.

Sunday evening fleet Of trans
ports and gunboats left Manila for
the most important expedition OF the
autumn campaign. Its destination
is supposed to be Dagupan or some
other northern port
General Wheaton commands with o
brigade consisting of the Thirteenth
infantry, the Thirty-third infantry
two guns of the Sixth artillery and
two gatlings, the transports Sheridan,
Francisco de Reyes and Aztec carry
ing the troops, with the gunboat
Helena as escort.
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to
arrange rendezvous with the United
States cruiser Charleston and the
other warships that are patrolling the
north coast OF Luzon.
The landing will be made under
cover Of the guns Of the fleet. 1t is
assumed in Manila that the purpose
Of the expedition is to move down
the Dagupan- Manila railroad toward
Tarlac or to prevent Aguinaldo's
forces making another base farther
north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the
strongholds Of the insurgents in the
north, and it is supposed the points
where most OF the filbustering par
ties land.
Since the beginning OF the hostill.
ties it has been the unanimous opin-
ion OF military experts in Manila
that Dagupan should be made base
Of operations, but sufficient troops
have heretofore been lacking. With
Generals Wheaton, Macarthur and
Lawton moving upon Tarlac from
rhree directions, and the mountains
hemming in the other side, the other
insurgent capital will soon become
untenable.
Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his
headquarters to the rich tobacco
country at the northern end of the
island. Possibly he may slide around
General Lawton's front to the south
ern provinces, but as Macarthur
and Lawton's troops are spread across
the country from Angeles to Caban-
atuan, it will be difficult for the in
surgents to escape.
Should the concerted operations
succeed organized insurrection on
large scale should be at an end early
next spring, although guerrilla war
fare is likely to continue for long
time. No one anticipates that the
insurgents will make many hard bat
ties.
The problem is to move the troops
about the country, Ito MAINTAIN
transportation and to hold the terri
tory gained.
The moral effect of the arrival OF
large American army is calculated
upon to sap Aguinaldo's strength by
desertions and through the loss Of
hope among the supporters OF the
revolutionary movement.
