The many friends of DR.. j. W.
Austin will be pleased to learn
that he has decided to locate per-

Il was Weary Willie last night, "
said Bob" Baird to a TRIBUNE
representative this morning. Mr.
Baird is an ex-railroad man, who
resides in Denver and is now a
dispenser of fermented, vinous and
distilled liquors. He explained
that he boarded narrowgauge
train last night to go to Cripple
Creek. The train pulled out and
in the course of time the conductor
came up and asked for his ticket.
Robert flashed pass and the con
ductor pulled the rope. The Off
cial explained that by hurrying
back Mr.. b. could catch the Grip
Pile Creek train. Carrying a fifty
pound grip he counted the ties
back to town. Mr.. Baird says he
arrived in Florence toward morn
ing, footsore and weary. He says
he then registered solemn oath
to the effect that if he ever got on
the wrong train again he would
ride to the next station, if it was
on the other side of the American
desert. Mr.. Baird went to Grip
Pile Greek this afternoon on No. /.

The New Army and philippines.

. y H y Y '
The passage by the senate of the COM
promise army bill. which fixes the force
at 5000 regulars for two years, after
which the basis is to be reduced to
$1,000, solves a question which has been
the subject Of weeks of debate, and will
probably be generally satisfactory.
With all that the government will, have
toface in the settlement of present con-.
ditions. the force provided for during
the time which is said to be sufficient
for the establishment of government
and order in territory. the peace of
which we are responsible for, will not
be one too many. 1t is expected, in
deed. that the work will be accomp-
lished much within the limit. Other
wise the next Congress could easily pro-
vide for any emergency which might
arise.
In Connection with this phase of the
question. the dispatches from Manila
are somewhat conflicting In regard to
the situation there. and 1t is best to
rely upon official reports. given out at
Washington. One dispatch, received
yesterday. was to the effect that there
are signs Of Aguinaldo making over
lures OF peace. and that Commission
ers" visited General Otis to notify him
that 5000 insurgents were ready to sur
render. The reports significantly state
that General, Otis did not receive the
commissioners" Another quotes an
other manifesto issued from Aguln-
aIdo's headquarters. denouncing the
American "brutes." and informing his
followers that American government
would be worse than Spanish.
On the other hand. there is no lack
OF confidence at Washington that the
situation is well in hand. and that the
end Is not far off. Much depends on
the action of the Spanish Cortes with
reference to the clause ceding the Phil
ippines

The report that the car of Russia

his mental powers to the extent that

statement that the ailment has long

The possibilities which might arise
from the total incapacity OF the car
