Offered to Sell His Army.

Manila, Oct. 19.-Gen. Otis has re-
ceived messages purporting to come
from the insurgent general, Pho Del
Pillar, offering to sell out his army and
to deliver Aguinaldo into the hands OF
the Americans. Although he is not
satisfied that this offer is authentic, it
is not improbable. The policy of Gen.
Otis is firmly set against buying any
surrenders. Pho Del Piiar offers for
the sum Of $4,000 to refrain from at
lacking Manila with his army; for the
sum of $250,0o0 he offers to surrender
his army after sham battle, both
sides firing into the air, and for the
sum of $500, 900 he says he will procure
the overthrow Of the instruction and
the capture OF Aguinaldo, Palermo and
the other leaders.
In the course Of the communication
he refers to Aguinaldo in contemptu-
GUS terms, indicating that strained re-
lations exist between them.

No state affords q better illustra-
ton of what unrestrained republican
ism leads to than Pennsylvania. It
has been under republican control for
years. The vast corporations came
into existence in it earlier than in most
of the other states and with them
came the control of elections by bril-
cry and coercion. Every effort to es.
cape from this system has been sue
cessfnlly resisted by the republican
machine, but it has been powerful
enough to hold its control over the
people nevertheless.

Importance Of Wide Tires.

Importance Of Wide Tires.
Circular No. /, U. S. Department Agriculture ]
It is frequently claimed that roads
in the United States, instead Of get
ting better, are constantly getting
worse, and when the reason is asked,
the explanation is made that the dam
age done to existing highways by the
use Of narrow tires is far greater than
the improvement made by the semi
annual effort at fixing the roads.
Without entering into a discussion of
this claim, there is no denying that
heavily loaded wagon with narrow
tires leaves its tracks on the highway,
and the depth of these tracks depends
upon the character of material of
which the road is built, the width of
the tires and the weight of the load.
Whenever q loaded wagon becomes
stuck, it is due to the fact that the
road is too soft, and the tires too mar
row for the load on the wheels. Wat
or and narrow tires are the two causes
which contribute to ruin the best
roads. They aid each other in the
work of destruction. The rut form
ed BY a passing wagon forms trough
for the rain, which, instead of running
off to the side, as it would do on q
hard, smooth surface sinks into the
ground. The next wagon, finding
the ground softened, digs its wheels
deeper into the surface, and so the
Generalization and destruction con-
tinues. This suggests one of the
strongest arguments in favor of the
use of wide tires. Wide tiresare road
makers, narrow tires are road Destroy
ers. Wide tires roll and harden the
road surface, and by their use every
loaded wagon can be turned into an
effective road roller. Every wagon
which today helps to cut up the roads
could be utilized for their improve
ment, for nothing SO much tends to
the making Of good roads as contin-
ual rolling Of the surface.
Onondaga County, New York, fur
nishes an interesting illustration Of
the value of wide tires as road rollers.
The solvay Process Company, Of
Geddes, in that county, were accus-
toned to hauling heavy loads Of stone
for four and q half miles from the
quarry. To test the wide tire theory,
they built several wagons having
4-inch tires on the front wheels aud
6-inch tires on the rear wheels, and
with the rear axles longer than the
others, so that the track Of the rear
wheels would just lap outside of those
made by the others. The result of
the use Of these wagons was to pro-
duce hard, smooth, compact surface,
and the road, having been filed so as
to raise the middle, or sscrown" it, ia
thoroughly drained at the surface,
and always ct for use with the heavi-
est loads. Loads Of s tons are fire.
gently hauled over them, and instead
Of tending to cut up the road, serve
to roll it harder and harder. The
superintendent reports, too, that the
improved condition Of the road has
reduced the cost Of hauling the stone
from 80 cents per ton to 60 cents, or
Is per cents.
