January ., 1899:
In the evening it was our lot to wit
ness something unique, grand and in
spring, something which a be seen
nowhere but in Manila and at no time
except on New Years night.
1t was the welcoming of the New
Year" procession, an annual custom OF
the Roman Catholic church in Manila.
This ceremony was, indeed, the most in
terestlng thing we have seen on the
island. Early in the day great crowds
began to gather in the streets OF walled
Manila until the teams could not pass In
the streets, but were compelled to go by
obscure side streets to their destinations.
1t seemed that within the ancient walls
OF the historic town were crushed all OF

no and Negretos, as seen from the win
dows OF our quarters, was vivid and in
spring. Hour after hour the people
patiently waited and the crowds grew
denser until at 5 O'Clock the procession
began to move from. the Grand Cathe-
dral OF st. Sebastian, the most magni.
ticent o. Manila's world-famed churches.
Down the center Of the street in the
narrow space kept open by the contlnu-
GUS efforts VI numerous American
guards, came a double line of men and
young boys, all dressed in deepest black.
each bearing q long. lighted waxen taper
in the hand, and walking RS close as
they could forming two unbroken COL
umns Of twinkling lights. They mum.
be red nearly 1900. Between them in
the gorgeous garments OF the Catholic
church, came the priests and monks,
bearing with reverent hands the heavy
gold laden banners and ensigns Of Rome.
A band OF fifty native musicians, in gor.
geous trappings, headed the procession
and another shortly followed inside the
moving living lines OF light, playing the
weirdest melancholy music l ever heard,
yet so sweet and thrilling, too.
Behind these we're fully 1900 women,
all in black, with tapers also, wearing
the black mantellas thrown carelessIy
over the magnificent hair of the tropics;
Spanish matrons and senoritas who
never leave their houses except Tor a
drive in the evening, all unattended,
walked alone by the side OF their black,
ignorant sisters, all ofsthem profoundly
impressed by the solemnity OF the occa.
sion. 1t WAS, indeed, a levelinR OF hu-
man pride and ambition to one grand
welcome to the year which comes" as
the Spanish express it-comes with it's
sorrows and fears and it's unboupded
opportunities for good and evil. Can.
opies, heavy with royal purple and rich
est embroidery, moved slowly inside the
double guard. Even the insurgents had
sent their band Of over 40 pieces, and
behind this third band came an escort
OF twenty-five American soldiers, under
the charge OF a sergeant. Viewed from
an upper window, the odor OF the burn
ing incense, the dazzling twinkle OF the
myriad lights, the solemn aspect Of the
participants, and the awe OF the multi.
tude, we saw it pass with uncovered
heads. 1t made an impression which
will always be remembered.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-The admins

the minority in congress respecting the
army reorganization bill. which. it is
believed. will be satisfactory to all in

army of loo. 900 men. of whom $4,000

Of that measure. which is regarded as
most essential, while meeting in a large
measure the objection Of the majority

you for chair you sit ON or the light

walters for doing what they are there

stand out against the robbers and in

And what was it,"
ITO get that surplus water out of
the State of Arkansaw, sub, and to
reclaim 3,S50,000 acres of land worth 81
per acre, one of two things must be
done. We must either lower the bed
of the Mississippi river six feet or raise
the State that much higher. We could
raise the State by getting dirt from
the mountains of Tennessee. or we
could lower the bed of the river by
dredging. The cost in either case was
about the same-S500, 100000. My bill
provided that the State issue bonds and
take charge of the work, and recoup
itself by the sale of the reclaimed land
and their products. 1t was Kurnel
Taylor who smashed that bill, sub, and
it didn't take him ovah five minutes.
The Kurnel brought up figures to prove
that if we got rid of our lagoons and
bayous we should also get rid of our
catfish, and that the catfish would be
with mo- to us than the reclaimed land.
