Partisanship Seems Dead So Far as
One Contest Is Concerned.

Judge Walter L. Simons of Fort Scott

judge by the Republicans, Populists

Several candidates have been sug-

Court of Visitation May Publish No

It is barely possible that the court of

free maps of the state as has been the
custom with the state board of railroad

new court, if the publication of the
maps is stopped, will take this step as
q measure of economy.
In the past the maps have cost the
state from $85 to $10O per thousand

Hillsides for Orchards.

Select hillsides and lands that are
we'll drained for orchards. where posi-
BILE for the planter to do so. The level
and the valley bottom lands of the
Pacific Northwest can be used, TO best
advantage perhaps, for grain and hay
crops, also for some of the berries, but
the apple orchards and other large
fruits wilk be most profitable on hill
side lands. Besides on the latter sites
trees are more immune from frosts.
Good air drainage is of most vital inn
portance, not only as a safeguard
against hight and other fungus dis
cases, but protection against late
spring and early autumn frosts. Cold
air in times OF low temperature pours
into valleys and sheltered places from
high ground and cannot escape at the
surface level, therefore forces the
warmer air out above, making killing
frosts there no uncommon thing when
higher and open locations are entirely
exempt from even light frosts. In
such locations the harvest of crop Of
fruit is very uncertain, and if it escapes
the frosts when in blossom, or when
in fruit in autumn, it may be attribut-
ed to luck. High elevation or north
ern slopes are preferable to all others
for the production of apples, because
orchards on these locations are not
subjected to such variations of temper
ature, between night and day and from
day to day as are those in valleys and
more sheltered locations-N. w. Hor-
ticulturist.

Aguinaldo about Wound up.

MANILA. Nov. 25.-Batista president
of the Filipino congress, presented
himself TO General Macarthur yester-
day and formally renounced all further
connection with the insurrection. He
was one Of the influential Filipinos
who hesitated at the beginning of the
war as to which side to cast his lot.
He was offered judgship of the SUI
preme court, but declined. He now
announces that he desires to accept
the position, and says the Filipino
congress and cabinet are scattered,
never to raassemble. Some of the
members, he add, have returned to
their homes, while other are flying for
safety. Many OF the congressman
have resigned, and he believes the Fill
pino soldiers will lay down their arms
everywhere as soon as they learn the
truth.
Senor Buencamino, former men,
Der of the so-called cabinet of Again
aldo, has been brought to General Otis,
prisoner, on the transport Brutus.
He had sought refuge in village near
San Falbau, with Aguinaldo's mother
and son. The natives disclosed his
identity to Major Crcnin, who captur-
ed him.
General Young is still in the noun
tains, on the trail of Aguinaldo.
Washington, Nov. 25.-General
Otis summarized the situation in Luz
zon in dispatch to the war depart
ment today, in which he says the in
surgent government can no longer
claim to exist, its troops and officials
are scattered, and Aguinaldo is hiding
The dispatch follows:
"Manila-The claim to govern
ment by the insurgents can be made
no longer under any fiction, its treas
urer, secretary of the interior and
president of congress being in our
hands. Its president and the remain
ing cabinet officers are hiding, evident
ly in different central Luzon provinces
and its generals and troops in small
bands are scattered through these
provinces, acting as bandits or dispers-
ed, playing the role of a 'emigos,' with
arms concealed. Indications are that
Aguinaldo did not escape through the
lines of Lawton or Wheaton, but fled
! westward from the Dayamban railway
station.

American Shipping.

Commissioner OF Navigation Cham
berlain, in his annual report gives
ssme interesting history regarding
Americas position in the ocean-carry-
ing trade. He shows the total num-
Der of dosumented American vessels
to be 22,728, o. 4,S64,238 gross tons,
the largest total since 1865. OF this
total, however, tonnage OF 4,015, 1892
tons is engaged in the coasting trade,
indicating that American bottoms are
carrying remarkably small proper
ton to our splendid foreign trade, es-
timated by the commissioner at per
cent. The greater proportion of Amer
lean carriers are steam craft, their ag-
gregate tonnage amounting to 2,476,-
OIL tons, compared with the worlds
steam tonnage of 1887 1872 tons, and
1888, ,769 tons for sailing vessels.
The commissioner notes that the
Pacific coast is making more rapid
strides than other portions of the
country in developing its carrying ca
pacity, largely through increased AL
askan business, and the addition of
American Oriental liners; while the
outlook for still greater expansion is
excellent from the same causes and
the addition of American trans Pacific
possessions.
The report argues for greater gov
ernment encouragement for American
shipping, pointing out that while the
United States expended last year about
100000 for this purpose, European ma
tions and Japan paid out over $26, ,O00,-
600 to the same end. China and Ja-
pan spent $5,0OO,O00 the past year
upon their foreign steamship lines and
the United States about $49, 900.
Discussing various methods of ad-
vancing our shipping interests, the re-
port holds that the imposition of dis
eliminating duties on cargoes and tom
mage of foreign ships, and the grant
ing of bounties on exports in Ameri-
can vessels are impracticable because
of treaty provisions; that granting
American registry to foreign vessels
is not feasible because operation under
American shipping regulations is more
costly. 1t favors the Hanna-Payne
subsidy bill, recommends increase in
tonnage taxes to conform with those
of leading foreign ports; also that
Hawaii and Porto Rico be placed un-
der the coasting laws of the United
States, and that Cuban vessels be
placed on an equality with those be-
longing to the most favored nations

Great Figures.

The amount of standing timber in
the State of Washington is estimated
to be la the neighborhood of 100000
100000 feet. These are figures beyond
any mans power of comprehension.
In its grant from the Government the
Northern Pacific Railroad has been
given from % to 80 per cent of this
standing timber, approximating % TO
80 billion feet. As to the value. of
this immense gift from the Govern
ment we quote from the West Coast
and Puget Sound Lumberman
ut would not be exaggerating the
value to place it all as worth one dor
lar stumpage. True, it would not all
bring that much, but as fast as the
mills can reach it today it is bringing
that amount. One sale made within
the past sixty days brought $4,000
for a single section. One township, of
which the Northern Pacific owns al
ternate sections, has nearly 100000
600 feet of timber on it. There are,
however, many acres of poor, inaccessi.
bic timber. What the new owners
will do with the timber is all specula-
