General Otis Cables That General Mile,
Has the situation Well In Hand.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I. General Otis
commanding at Manila, has cabled
the War department that In
his opinion General Miller has
the situation we'll in hand nj
Iloilo and that he fully understands
the purposes Of the President not TO
crowd the insurgents unduly. The
general has been instructed that Il Ia
highly desirable that a hostile COLI.
sion between the American forces and
the insurgents be avoided at an
hazards, at least pending the ratiHca.
ton Of the peace treaty.
The officials here are now fully sat
isfied that the trouble at lloilo may be
traced directly back to the Spanish
colonel who was the senior Span.
ish army officer in the Philippine
group, and directly in command
of the Visayas group, including the
principal island Of Panay and the city
and garrison of lloilo. General Otis
reports show that though besieged
with his 800 soldiers in Iloilo by
a superior force the position OF
the Spanish was thoroughly tenable.
They had repulsed every attack
OF the insurgents and had inflicted
great loss upon the latter, and alto
gether there was no reason why they
should not have held out indefinitely
They did hold out until they heard
that the Americans were coming.

HAS A SOClALISTlC MAYOR.
John o. Chase lssusursted ne chief E1-
ecutlvs os fIsvcrhiII. Mass.

ecutivs of HsvcrhilI. Mass.
HAyRRiurI., Mass, Jan. L. John c.
Chase, elected on a socialistic platform.
took the oath Of office as mayor Of
Havcrhill yesterday. In his inaugural
speech, Mr.. Chase assured the mem
bers Of tho city government and the
people that every atom Of power"
possessed by the mayor will be ''exer-
cised In the defense and support OF
the principles Of socialism, insofar as
they may be applicable TO q munich
pality."
The mayor theE referred TO the de-
sirability OF preserving equal rights,
upon which the liberty and happi-
ness OF every man, woman and child
are conditioned" and asserted that
these are possible OF attainment "only
through the establishment Of the co.
operative commonwealth"
Continuing, Mayor Chase said: ~
believe that every power the munich
pality possesses should be placed at
the disposal Of the people in the inter-
est OF civilization. With that aim in
view, submit the following specific
recommendations:
"First--Thc passage OF an order es-
tabllshlpg the minimum wage for
street employees at $500 for eight
hours work.
"Second-Union wages and condi-
tions to prevail In oil brick and stone
mason's work performed under the di.
rcction OF the street department.
"rhird-All city printing to bear
the union label"
The mayor then took up the subjcc
OF the unemployed which, he said, had
developed from the displacement OF la
Dor by machinery and the concentra.
tion of capital and question which,
he said, no municipality could solve,
as 1t had become a national and inter
national one.
Yet" he said, "somc little relief,
at least, can be afforded by this city
government. ], therefore, recommend:
"First-That you proceed to secure
n tract of land suitable for the raising
OF food products, and that such OF the
unemployed rs desire may be permit
ted to use this land, the city TO furnish
proper seeds and tools.
second The enlargement of the
fuel yard at the city farm TO such pro-
portions rs will permit all who desire
TO earn, by their labor, such fuel rs
they may require.
"Third--The appropriation Of such
an amount OF money as circumstances
may warrant TO he used in providing
employment directly upon public
works. not in competition with the
regular employees OF the city, but upon
special works, two kinds of which |
herewith suggest:
First, Improvement OF the park sys-
TEN; second, construction of system
Of bicycle paths through all principal
thoroughfares
Mayor Chase condemned the system
OF contracting with the lowest bidder
for city work and said the system
should not DO tolerated. He said:
Low bids mean cheap work. Cheap
work means cheap men, and low wages
lower the standard of citizenship. The
city should perform it's own work and
furnish its own material, giving en-
ployment to its citizens"
The mayor advocated increased APP
propriations for educational purposes
and municipal ownership of the elec.
trio lighting plant and street rail.

Kansas Popullsts Would Protect
Themselves Prom Stanley
HOW IT CAN Be ACCOMPLISHED


ToPEsA, Kan. Jan. 4---The Populist
hoidover appointees are making te-
mendous effort to pass the proposed
repeal Of the statute which permits
the governor to investigate objection
able persons out of office by Legislative
committee. This statute authorizes
the lieutenant governor and the
speaker OF the house, upon the request
of the governor, to appoint joint
committee for the purpose of inquiripg
into charges that may be preferred
against an appointive officer who has
been confirmed by the Senate, and
since for two years after next week
the governor, the lieutenant governor
and the speaker will be Republicans it
will be an easy matter for them to get
rid OF all holdover Populists IL this
law remains in the statute books.
In 1895 1t was employed by Governor
Morrill, to get rid OF some of Lewell-
ings appointees after an investiga-
tion, which brought out much tall
swearing pro and con. In the case of
William Rogers, regent of the
state university, drink was proved
to be drunk, and an occasional spree
habitual drunkenness. One witness
against Rogers was himself an APP
pointive officer, and no less user of
intoxicants than Rogers, but he was
not disturbed, while Rogers was re-
moved by the Judgment of the com.
mittce.
When Governor Ieedy came into
power he appointed Rogers to his old
place. Rogers still has two years to
serve, and, warned by his previous ex-
perienee, he is lobbying energetically
for the repeal of the statute which
was his undoing in 1895. Supporting
him are all the other holdover Popu.

managers of the Soldiers home, the
managers of the reformatory, the
trustees Of the state board of chari-
table institutions and all the other
more important appointive officers
whose terms do not expire with Gov
ernor Lecdy's.
The terms o. the proposed repeating
act are that an "appointive officer who
has been confirmed by the senate, or
the chief officer Of state institution
whose term expires at the end of a
given number of years, shall not be
removed for political reasons only,
nor otherwise than by impeachment,
| except for the causes and in the man
ner hereinafter described"
Section g provides that whenever n
charge against an appointive officer
shall come to the attention of the gov.
crnor the latter may direct the attor.
ney general to inquire into the facts,
and If, upon such inquiry, the two Of
fcers shall concur in the opinion that
such charge ought to be investigated
with view to removal, or to removal
or punishment, the attorney gen
| eral shall cause complaint
to be filed ut his option In
the Office OF the district court
Of the county where the officer charged
against lives. Then an arrest shal
follow and trial shall be had by jury
II the verdict be mot guilty" the de
fendant shall be restored to his place
but II 1t be guilty" the court shal
forthwith render Judgment Of custer
which Judgment shall be final ant
without appeal or writ Of error.
