The Campaign in the Philippines.

The campaign of the United States
forces against the insurgents In the
Philippines is practically at stand
still. General Otis is resting on his
arms, utterly unable to conduct any
military operations in the face of the
tropical storms, the inundated coun-
try, the terrible heat and the thous-
and and one obstacles incident to the
dreaded "rainy season" 1t is I'M
possible to conquer the forces of ma
ture. and our soldiers will be very
thankful if they can simply live
through the trying months that are
before them until the climate shall
again become bearable.
The campaign that has just been
ended has been gallantly fought by
our troops, but there is little to show
for their valor. They have driven
the insurgents from place to place and
killed a few hundred of them, but one
location is as good as another to the
natives, and retreating or advancing
they simply keep out of reach of our
army. The Filipinos continue to ha-
rass our troops right straight along,
relying on their ability to worry our
men to death with the able assistance
of deadly climate. No decisive blow
has been struck by our army, and the
long months of fighting have gained
us but slight advantage.
On February 9Th last General Otis
cabled Situation rapidly improving.
Insurgent army disintegrated and
natives returning to villages"
April 23d General Otis asked for
reinforcements, and it was stated that
"the natives have concentrated again.
They fight with stubbornness which
surprises our army officers. D."
May 18th Secretary Alger said he
looked for the surrender of the Filipi-
nos within a few days.
May 9Th General Otis again cables
"Signs of insurgent weakness more ap-
parent daily"
May Goth a censored dispatch from
Manila said: "The events of the week
have emphathized the need Of larger
army here, without which, according
to the best authorities in Manila, it
would be attempting the impossible to
to expect to establish American su-
premacy in the Philippine Islands. "
Last week President Mckinley
practically acknowledged the failure
of past efforts and the miscalculation
of the administration by ordering the
enlistment of $4,000 additional troops
for service in the Philippines. Even
with this heavy addition to our army,
it is believed that it will be impossible
to conquer the pugnacious natives.
Men high in authority and of long
military experience have expressed
the opinion that an army OF 100000
men will be necessary to subdue the
Filipinos.
The problem of raising, equipping,
transporting and maintaining such an
enormous body of soldiers is one that
may we'll cause concern. When the
small stakes that are being fought for
are considered, the immaterial advan-
tages to be gained by ultimate victory,
the war indeed seems the veriest folly

THE Pension Bureau at Washing
ton is kept busy by the consideration
of thousands of pension claims pre-
sented by soldiers who were enlisted
in the recent war against Spain, and
the enormous sums that will be re-
quired for years to come to pay these
pensions is not the least of the evils
that has been brought on by this I'M
necessary struggle. Two years ago
there were upon the pension rolls
904,0 8l names. 1t was then thought
that the high-water mark had been
reached, and that steady and rapid
decrease would be noticed. The con-
trary has been the fact, however, and
today the list aggregates 992, GA
names. The names of the pensioners
of the civil war are rapidly being
crossed off by death, but as almost
every soldier who was in the Spanish
war has applied or will apply for pen
enormous burden will grow any less
for years to come.

Protect our Food.

The doctors inform US that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking pow
ders should be avoided because they
make the food unwholesome. Prom
inent hygienists, who have given the
matter most study, regard these pow
ders as an evil that should be sup
pressed by state action. In Minnesota
and Wisconsin alum powders are not
permitted to be sold unless they are
branded to warn consumers of their
true character, while in the District
OF Columbia the authorities have, I'M
der the direction of Congress, adopted
regulations to prohibit the use of alum
in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states,
as well as those of Minnesota and Wis
consin, entitled to warning of a dan
ger which is apparently menacing
them at close hand, and is not the
whole country entitled to absolute
protection, as the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia are protected, by leg
islation which is entirely prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders to
remember that all powders sold at
twenty-five cents or less per pound are
of this dangerous class. Pure cream
of tartar powders are usually sold at
from forty-fve to fifty cents pound.

MEDICINES?

FOR AN EDITOR TO RECOMMEND PATENT
MEDICINES?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, n. CT
1t may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any Of the various
proprietary medicines which food the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer
ing we feel it duty to say good
word for Chamberlains Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
dose of this remedy would save hours
ofsufering while physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending i'm
plicitly on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that if bottle OF
Chamberlain Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician would
not be required. At least this has
been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale at Remnants

A remarkable freak Of lightning &C.
Cured last Thursday at East Brook
field, Mass, when a sudden shock re-
stored to its old-time vigor the left arm
of Eli Forbes, which had been useless
for thirteen years on account of rheu-
matism. While he was sitting at the
window a thunder shower came up
and with it were two sharp flashes of
lightning. With one of the tremen-
dous crashes Mr.. Forbes felt a sharp
pricking of his flesh and tingling in
his bones and with a jerk his left arm
shot violently forward from its cramp-
ed position. The shock was over in a
fash and Mr.. Forbes felt his left arm
bristle with vitality and Jingle with
vigor. To his delight he found he
could use the arm as well as ever.

Robert BennetS, Timberman at
the Leonard
STRUCK BYA FALLING ROCK
His Skull Fractured and There is no
Hope Entertained For
His Recovery

Robert BENEFITS, for many years en-
ployed as timberman at the Boston &
Montana properties, received fatal in
juries at the Leonard mine about 1880
O'Clock this morning, by a heavy rock
falling on his head and crushing his skull.
Benefits, with another employ named
Herman Rothbert were employed in a
chute at a point near the 70O-foot level.
BENEFITS had a brace across the workings
and was mailing on a piece of lining, when
a piece of ore, weighing probably htteen
or twenty pounds fell from some point
above and struck him ~squarely on the
top of his head, producing a noise, SO
his partner said, like the explosion of a
revolver. Benefits fell from the staging
to the bottom of the stope a distance OF
about sixteen feet.
Rothbert hurriedly obtained assist
ance and Benefits was removed at once
to the surface and later the injured man
was removed to Murray & Freund's hos
pital, where it was ascertained, after an
examination, that his injuries were such
as to make his recovery almost an m
possibility. The force Of the blow seemed
to enter on the top of his head crushing
1t badly. On the top where the point or
the rock apparently struck him the skull
is splintered and crushed to fragments,
and from this radiate three long frac-
lures, one going forward over the fore
head. and two back, one of which was
fully six inches long. The right shoulder
was also fractured. Bennets is married,
residing with his wife at No. sos Warren
avenue, cut had no children. The ply
sicians express no hopes whatever of his
recovery.
Deputy Mine Inspector Hunter was
Immediately notified of the accident and
made a careful examination of that por-
ton Of the mine where the accident oc-
Cured. Three floors above where Ben
netts stood, there is a stope the breast of
which is almost PERI endicular TO the
chute in which BENEFITS was working.
Mr.. Hunter is satisfied that the rock roll
ed from that Slope and as there was no
covering over Bennets, dropped down the
chute striking BENEFITS as stated.

The Copper Combination and
Advance in Silver
PRINCIPAL TALK OF WEEK
Broker Lawson Predicts Much Higher
Prices For Montana Cop
per Stocks

The principal features of the week in
the mining line We're the reported con-
solidation of the big copper interests
and the advance in the price of silver.
The details of the combine are anX-
iously awaited in Butte, but as the CON-
s%olidation is supposed to date from next
Monday (May ~, it is not likely that any
authentic information pertaining to the
big trust will be received until after that
date.
The sudden upward jump of the white
metal caused much favorable comment
in mining circles. The metal is appa-
renlty assuming some commercial i'm
p%ortance and is not as heretofore a drug
on the market. Opinions as to the causes
leading to he advance in the price of
silver vary. Some weeks ago the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining company. bet
ter known as the smelter trust, an
bounced that within a short period the
