.OTIS NEEDS MORE TROOPS
Americans Can't Hold the Territory
They Have Taken.
A MUCH LARGER ARMY NEEDED

MANILA, May 2T.-Events of the
past week have emphasized the need
of a much larger army here, without
which, according to the best authori-
ties in Manila, it would be attempting
the impossible to expect to establish
American supremacy in the Philippine
islands. The inadequacy Of the Amer
lean forces is said to be response BILE
for large total loss in the number of
small encounters, without material
results as a compen sation-
Most of the warfare has been in ter
ritory which the Americans had swept,
but had been compelled to abandon
because they could not spare troops to
hold it.
The forces commanded by Generals
Macarthur and Lawton held two i'm
portant lines of communication and
commerce, the railroad to San Fer
nando and the Rio Grande river. But
much of the country they have swept,
including scores of the smaller towns,
and some of the larger ones, have
been left uncovered, simply for want
of men to hold them, and the insur-
gents have returned and are occupy
ing the towns the Americans aban-
doned. These rebels are camping in
the jungles and woods, upon the
watch for chances to harrass the
American garrisons and attack scout
ing parties or detached companies.
This kind of warfare they prefer to
regular battles

AGAINST DUDE MINISTERS.
'resbyterians Discuss Luxurious
Theological Students.
SOFT BERTH MEN NOT WANTED

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May EFT
took the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church longer to decide
when the nineteenth century ends
than it took to pass the resolutions
against the Mormon congressman,
Roberts, and in favor of anti-polygamy
amendment to the national constitu-
ton.
The commissioners generally feel
that in calling for the expulsion of
Roberts and for the adoption of an
amendment to the national constitu-
ton defaing legal marriage to be
monogamic, they have started move
ment which will be taken up all over
the country and will reach eventual
success.
In the Roberts resolution, after re-
citing 1.-The demoralizing effects of the
teachings and practice of polygamy,"
Congress in the House of Represent
atives cannot permit Congressman
Roberts to have a voice in its councils
without in effect sanctioning the
practice of polygamy. Congress is
called upon to promptly expel Mr..
Roberts in accordance with article 1,
section 5, of the national constitution.
AS for the end of the nineteenth
century, one of the reports spoke of
next year as the opening of the new
century. Upon objection and after a
little debate the stated clerk held that
next year is the last of this century.
Presbyterians will henceforth get
along without this exciting topic of
discussion.
The standing committee on theo-
logical seminaries turned in an ex-
haustive review of those institutions.
The number of students in each was
given as follows:
Princeton, 206; Auburn, 1O5; West
ern seminary, Allegheny, rs; Lane, So;
Danville, %; San Francisco, 81; Du-
buque, 80; Lincoln, Al; Biddle, 20;
Omaha, "a.
The commissioners closely inspected
these figures because they have bear
ing on the delicate question of in
crease or decrease in the number OF
candidates for the ministry. They are
deemed satisfactory. The report was
something of roast" for dude min
listers, and it was limited that the lives
of many theological students are toe
luxurious. DR.. Dinsmore followed the
report with a speech in which he de-
plored the tendency of graduates to
look too intently for soft berths.

article of Devon folklore, and 1 am
inclined to think the west country folk

always act prejudicially upon what

fed temper Of a successful angler. He

Origin of the Elevator.

The elevator originated in central
Europe. The earliest mention Of the
elevator is made in a letter Of Ma
poleon I. addressed to his wife, the
Archduchess Maria Louisa. He writes
to her that, when in Schoenbrunn, then
the summer residence of the Austrian
emperor, near Vienna, he used the
"chaise volante" flying chair) in that
castle, which had been constructed for
Empress Maria. Theresa. 1t consisted
OF a small square room, sumptuously

TventIeth Regiment to Choose Its Nus
terIng Out Place.
TOPEKA, Kan, May Ex-Governor
Stanley received message fro N Sec
rotary Alger, of the War department.,
yesterday, which read:
''Will permit the Twentieth Kan
sas volunteers to decide for themselves
where they will be mustered out if
the state will provide suitable place
for the purpose"
In reply Governor Stanley wired:
1.-The state will provide suitable
place for muster out of the Twentieth
Kansas Will you ascertain their
wishes?"
When asked if the state would pay
the expense of securing a suitable
place for mastering out the regiment,
the governor said that that expense
would have to be borne by the city
which secures the honor.
Governor Stanley last night re-
ceived this message from Secretary of
War Alger, touching the question as
to the selection of a place to muster
out the Twentieth Kansas:
You should be further informed
that under the law the men of the
Twentieth Kansas will lose from sec
to 500 each for travel pay if they are
mustered out in Kansas instead OF
San Francisco. :"
It is the general belief among the
state officials that the volunteers will
vote to be mustered out at San Fran
cisco. A telegram from the war de-
partment announced that the travel
pay of the boys from the place of mus
tering out to their homes would be
figured on a war basis. This will give
the regiment $40, 900 if mustered out
at San Francisco, which it will not
receive if mustered out in Kansas.
AS business proposition, it is claimed
the volunteers will want to get hold
of that money.
Adjutant General Fox has made out
another statement showing the
amount each officer and private will
draw as travel pay from the coast to
Kansas, provided they are mustered
out at San Francisco It follows:
Colonel 81, $50, lieutenant colonel
$9s6, two majors 1922 each, surgeon
$500, twelve captains 1891 each, assist
ant surgeon 1891, second assistant
surgeon S493, twelve first 1ieutenants

ST. Louis, Mo-, May 27.-Promptly
at 6:45 o'clock last evening the caterers
direction bell rang. the band struck
up 1.-THE Stars and Stripes Forever"
an army of walters laden with viands
appeared, and the mammoth Demo
cratic antitrust banquet was on,
while the LAS banqueters seated at
the table broke into a tremendous
cheer, rising in body and waving the
small hand flags that had been pro-
vided at each cover.
The vast arena of the Coliseum was
filed with long tables tastefully deco
rated with roses, lilies of the valley
and carnations. The table of honor
was placed on raised platform at the
north side of the arena, and at it
were seated Hon. w. J. Bryan, ex-Gov-
nor John P. Altgeld, o. II. P. Bel
mont, NJ. G. Wetmore, Harry B.
HAYES, president of the jefferson club
under whose auspices the dinner was
given; Hon. Champ Clark, Hon David
A. De Almond and a number of other
prominent Democrats
The Coliseum was decorated through
out with flags. and in the center of
each was fixed large silver shield.
The dinner was concluded at
o'clock. No speeches were made dur
ing the banquet 1t was strictly a
love feast By the time the tables
were cleared the 5000 seats of the
amphitheater were filed with specta-
tors representing the society of St.
Louis, and the speaking began.
Mr.. Bryan, although he devoted the
greater part of his address to the
trusts. touched briefly upon the silver
question, declaring that it was an
issue that must be met. The Repub-
licans being pledged to the gold stan
dard, he said, were opposed to silver
because it meant the giving up of the
standard which they had adopted.
He then returned to the attack upon
the trusts, which he accused of lack
of good faith toward the people. "a
rich man." he declared, "who pays his
taxes is as much of a patriot as any
man who swims river or who climbed
up San Juan hill"

ElGHT-HOUR DAY CONCEDED.
Striking Kansas Coal Miners and Oper-
ators Agree.

ators Agree
PrrTsBURG, Kan, May 26.-The con-
ference between the miners and oper-
ators was finished at noon yesterday.
The result of the conference is an
agreement very favorable to the min
ers, inasmuch as eight hours a day
has been granted them, to go into eff
feet on September 1. The concession
places the miners of Kansas on an
equal footing with the miners of the
East, where the eight-hour day is
already recognized Shortening of
the hours will give the miners steadier
work and put more miners in the
mines
Other demands of the miners are to
be settled by arbitration, the miners
to choose two men, the operators two
men and these four to choose fifth,
practically forestalling any possibil-
fty of strike in the mines of the
companies in this district who are not
operating mines in the Indian terri.

confirms the statements made by the

reached an almost hopeless stage
owing to the insistence of the Cana

OIL Refinery Closed Down.

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, May 27.-State
Oil Inspector S. O. Spencer has taken
possession of the Standard Oil COM
pany refinery at Neodesha and the
plant is now in charge of a deputy.
The tanks have been locked up and
2, 600 barrels of refined oil ready for
shipment have been seized and are
now in the hands of the officials In
spector Spencer has had limitations
for some time that the oil turned out
by the Neodesha refinery was not up

been caused by the arrest of two ply :

towns of Rhenish Prussia, charged
with Systematically drugging recruits

service. It is asserted that four of
the persons thus treated have died

bail in the sum of $4,000 marks, but
this was refused
