Decisive Battle Expected.

Manila, March IS. - General Nc
Arthur's division which captured Mari
lao yesterday took up the advance from
that place toward Malolos at $50 this
morning. The immediate objective
point was the town OF Bocave, some
five miles north of Marilao. The ad.
vance guard has reached the vicinity of
Bulacan, six miles southeast of Malolos.
1t is expected that Macarthur will be in
front of Malolos this evening The
big battle will probably be begun early
tomorrow morning. Army gunboats
shelled the rebel positions at Bulacan
yesterday and did effective work. Fill
pino prisoners taken yesterday inform
ed the Americans tharAguinaldo would
make last stand at Malolos and if he
is defeated there would make no fur
Their resistance, but quit the revolt. A
proclamation signed Luna, general.in-
chief of the insurgent forces, directs that
all towns abandoned be burned. In
consequence thereof much country
north is in flames. Since the general
northern movement against the insur'
gents began fully thirty small towns
have been captured and burned.
General MscArthur's advance today
was small. His troops marched two
miles when halt was called at river
where the enemy had burned the
bridges behind them. General Mac
| Arthur decided to bivouac and await
his pontoon bridges and supplies before
| crossing the river.
The enemy, who is plainly in sight,
| is being largely reinforced from the
north. They are digging trenches and
| have determined to make another
stand. This will probably delay the
capture OF Malolos. In the fight al
Marilao yesterday, ninety insurgents
were killed aud one-hundred taken
| prisoners.

was conspicuous attendant at the re-
ception given by Governor General

Two members of the Cuban Assembly, have
gone to Washington on political mission.
1t is believed their object is to try and get a
large loan for Cuba. The dissolution of the

Sensational Development Expected


Harrisburg, Pa, March 2S.-There
is likely to be sensation at this after
moons session Of the legislative bribery
investigating commission. II is under
stood that some important testimony
has been secured, through the policy OF
calling every member before the inquis-
itors. A member of the House is ex-
pected to swear that negotiations were
entered into with him for his vote.
Senator VENT will probably offer a
resolution to provide for taking four
senatorial ballots on Tuesdays, Wed
nesdays, Thursdays and Fridays of each
week. Such a proposition would, Of
course, be opposed by the Quayiies and
probably by the insurgents. The effort
10 pass it, however, would be party
capital for the democrats, showing
them to be anxious to end the dead
lock.
In the legislature today an attempt was
msdc to consolidate the anti.Quay republicans
forces, but the b,llot resulted: Quay, 81;
jerks, 60 Dalzcll, 81. Gray II votes short

IN ADDITION to the five thousand
troops just sent to Manila to strength
en- the U. S. army there, eight thousand
additional have been ordered to sail
for that part as soon as ships can be
hired to carry them. Admiral Dewey's
victory was famous" one, but its re-
sultant losses in men and money have
been enormous, and, what is more, it is
feared those losses have just COM
menced. But expansion is luxury,
and like all other luxuries, it comes

THE recent race troubles at Birmiue-

not as effective means of increasing
trade between those islands and this

THE Atlanta board of education, of
which Mr.. Hoke Smith, who was a
member of Mr.. CIeveland's Cabinet, is
president, issued an order last week to
prevent the observance of holy days by
such of the pupils of the public schools
there as are being brought up in the
Catholic, Episcopal or Jewish falth.
That the order was so intended is made
plain by the fact that there are more OF
such days in this week in all the

in the calendar. And yet the Catho-
lies, Episcopalians and Jews of Atlanta
are taxed-to support the free schools OF
that city. But most diseases leave

selves to great deal of unnecessary,
though, in view of what occurred in
1896, it may not be Improbable
trouble. Third parties never amount
to much, except to those who start
them, and will be of less account at the
next Presidential election than ever
before. Those vino favor new demo

utatiou for sincerity, would do better to
dof their transparent disguise and open
ly Join the republican party, of which, to
all intents and purposes, they belong
There is one solid. compact and homo
geneous democratic party, that will
stand on the Chicago platform unit!
that platform shall be altered by the
next naional democratic convention,
the only power by which it can be
changed, and all good and true demo
Gratis, especially those of the South,
will support that party, net only for its
own good, but for that of the country.

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

A dispatch from Richmond says !:
Richmonders now have much food for
political gossip in the call made last
Saturday by fifty prominent democrats
of the State for a convention here In
May to discuss the election of United
States Senators by primary vote.
Senator Martin, who has returned to
Richmond, after visit to Norfolk, to-
day declined to express his opinion
about the matter. 81 have nothing,
absolutely nothing, to say upon that
subiect.n he said. There are some
who think the call is a blow at Mr..
Martin, while on the other hand sew
eral of his staunchest friends assert that
they are going to work in the Sena-
torial primaries. Three congressman
and as many ex-members of the House
signed the address, and there is strong
reason TO believe others will do like
wise.
Governor Tyler, when queried as to his
views about choosing senatorial candidates.
said: Il should DO the last man to oppose
anything looking to give the people chance
TO express their choice of candidates" And
then he added: Il have found the people
mighty good judges of candidates for Office"
When asked if ne would take any part in the
new movement the governor said that he was
now devoting his entire time TO the discharge
of thu duties of the executive Office, and that
he hsd no time to be active in politics.

1t probably will be found when
the legislature adjourns that good
amount of work has been done in q
creditable way, and that most of the
bad legislation, concerning which
the republican press has been SO
noisy, has been side tracked. The
session has been somewhat boistrous,
but that is not bad of itself. It's
those quiet, smooth, easy, peaceable
sessions that the devil gets in his
work at, and he has no use for a
Gght. When there is scrap over
legislation it is safe to say there
ought to be fight, and that there
is then chance for the right things
to come about.-Bolivar Herald.
