SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.

The two candidates from this city
for the speakership have retired in
favor of General Henderson with as
much grace as they could muster. The
disappointment to Mr.. Sherman is
particularly severe. 1t will be real
lied that he declined an appointment
as general appraiser of the port Of
New York at Il salary of $500 year,
equivalent to n life position, because
he saw the speakerslip looming up on
his horizon. The truth is Sherman be-
longs to Il boss-rued state and can
not be depended upon to maintain his
independence of Platt, Hanna and
Quay. He may be rs independent n
man as ever lived, but the very fear
that he might wear a Platt collar
ruined his chances. No recent politi-
cal episode has so clearly revealed the
popular antagoni 'm to bosses, for the
national House is chosen so often by
the people as to represent, in such II
matter, practically the peoples will.

the American troops in the recent en-,

caused by the artillery which Admiral
Dewey presented to Aguinaldo last
winter. The batteries in question, Gen
eral Anderson says. are being operated
Gy Spanish prisoners, who have been re-
leased by Aguinaldo with the under
standing that they enlist in the insur-
gent army.

Q. Then every place now open in

strategical position, If they can hold 1t.
1t is feared, however, that our troops are
too badly worn. and not strong enough
numerically to retain the captured ter
ritory, and may again have to content
themselves with the adoption of walt
irg" policy.
Originally the reports from Mania
drew most hopeful views of the situa-
tion, picturing a speedy quell' lg of the
insurrection. and the determination of
the rebellious forces. The last reports
content themselves with messages to the
effect that our troops are in no danger.
The war department scouts the sug-
gestion that the Filipinos might become
bold enough to attack the American
lines and provoke battle on open
ground. Nothing better than that is de-
sired. 1t is the very thing the FilipinOs
have avoided. If the Americans could
only get at them the war would soon be
ended. 1t is the old story, however,
the rebels driven out of one place rem
dezvousing at another. No step yet
taken has been of decisive character.
There has been no crushing blow.
The sending of renforcements will be
actively prosecuted. Transports from
Manila will have to be called to San
Francisco to do the work that will be
required. There are but two transports
available at San Francisco now, the
Sheridan and Pennsylvania, as the St.
Paul is to be taken out of commission
These are enough to make start but
not enough to carry out all the plans OF
the department. The quartermastei
general has been instructed to push mat.

THE navy department is not much

Only one position. that of private sec
retary to the assistant secretary of the

animation for appointment. This is
in conformity with the other depart

DESERVES CREDIT.

Railroad Commissioner Osborn
IS entitled to great credit for his
work in causing the fare on the
Wabash to be reduced TO two
and one half cents per mile, thus
efrecting q saving of S25, 600 TO
the patrons of the road. There
is n provision of the statutes
which says that the fare charged
on roads earning more than
81, 200 per mile shall not be more
than two and one-half cents.
In looking over the reports Mr..
Osborn discovered that the
Wabash earned 81, 038.16 mile
thus bringing that road under the
provisions of the act, and he inn
mediately caused notice to be
served upon the road officials.
The margin is so narrow that,
had Mr.. Osborn not been exact
ing in his efforts for the public
good, the matter might have
been overlooked.
