BOUND TO.CONQUER.
President Mckinley and Cabinet Study
the War Maps Closely.

w WASHINGTON, April 25.-With a
large War Department map before
them, the members of the Cabinet
traced the positions of the American
soldiers and the Filipinos near Calum-
pit today. Secretary Alger pointed
out what was intended,to be accom-
plished, the positions and the strength
of the opposing forces. The Secretary
is rather hopeful that the F'ilipinos
will not be able to elude the Ameri-
can forces this time. He believes that
if large part of Aguinaldos army
could be captured the termination of
the fighting might be near.
Cabinet officer said this afternoon
that the Cabinet has at no time dis
cussed the subject of the future DISPOSE
ton of the Philippines. 1T is the pre-
sent that we are thinking off, he said,
'and there is not the slightest inten-
ton of deviating from the present pro-
gramme. / believe it is the unanimous
feeling of the Cabinet that nothing
shall be decided as to the future status
of the islands until we have placed
them satisfactorily under the control
of the United States
He said that every dollar and every
man necessary to bring the islands I'M
der the dominion of this country would
be used. When the insurgents have
recognized the power of the United
States the question of their future sta
tus will be taken up and discussed.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Richard
Croker was asked today: What do
you think of Mr.. Bryan for a candidate
for the Presidency?'
Mr.. Bryan is a good man and a
bright man. was the reply, but
think he is too narrow when he insists
that the 10 to l issue is the only one,
because new issues have grown up
since he ran for and was defeated for
the Presidency. He is especially fool
ISL when he reads out of the party
everybody who does not agree with
him, because the convention has not
been selected yet, and nobody knows
what may happen. Bryan, as l said
is a good man, but 1 think there are
better ones in the party"
What do you think should be the
chief Democratic issue of the next
campaign"
1 think the principal one should be
devoted to the fight against trusts"
he said
How about eXpansion?"
L think the anti-eXpansion issue
Will be part of the Democratic plat
form. L don't mean by that that the
United States should give up the ter
rltory acquired by her soldiers in the
war. l think, for instance, as to the
philippines, that this country should
teach the people there that the islands
belong to the United States by right of
conquest, and that the United States
VIII put down by arms all opposition
TO its authority. When we have
taught that lesson to the Philippines,
then we should dispose of the islands

HE THREW THE SWITCH.
Recent Union Pacific Wreck Caused
by Subway.

Edwin Shumway, a l5'year.old
boy, was sentenced by Judge Story
at Manhattan Monday to five years in
the Reform school for throwing the
switch caused the Union Pacific flyer
at Ogdensburg last week. Shumway
was discovered hanging about the
wreck all the night Of its occurrence.
His peculiar actions brought about
decided questioning but at last all
was laid at the door Of mere boyish
curiosity. On the return Of Agent
Ashley from the wreck he told Of the
boy and by the description given the
boy was at once suspected, as he was
known to be a runaway. Through
Marshal Boiler he was traced to Law
renee last Thursday and arrested
there. He was at once taken to
junction City for fear Of iamily inter-
ence. He was taken next to Manhat-
tan, his father filing the complaint.
In his confession the boy stated that
he found the switch unlocked, and
threw it, but did not have strength
sufficient to get it back and was on
his way to inform the depot officials
at Ogdensburg Of its condition when
the flyer came in. Shumway will be
taken to Topeka as soon as orders
are received. He is the son Of G. b.
Shumway formerly Of this city. The
father wrote to the boys uncles,
Charles and George Hilton, last week
that Edwin had run away from home
in Excelsior Springs and to look out
for him. He was probably en- route
for Abilene when the accident occur.
