GREAT CARE 70 BE TAKEN
To Secure an Accurate Count of New
Yorks Population.

New York. Nov. GA special to the
Tribune from Washington, d. O., says:
Director of the Census Merriam says:
Every resident of Greater New York
is to be counted and credited to the
population of that city if it is possible.
and every possible assistance is to be
availed of in making a correct count
in that city
I have given more attention to the
problem of securing an accurate count
in New York city" said lie, than in
any other part of the country. The
reason for this is that the most difficult
task with which 1 am confronted is the
taking of the census in that city
The ideal which Director Merriam has
in view is to count and credit to New
YOrk every man, woman and child who
IS entitled to claim a residence within
the limits of the city He realizes that
II he IS even to approximate this ideal
he will have to have, primarily, the
support and assistance of the people of
New York themselves. Director Mer-
RAM desires also special assistance
from many persons in the city. In dis

GUAM NEEDS ICE.
Governor Leary Again Prods the
Washin gton Authorities

New York Nov. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington, d. C., says:
The desperate need of ice in Guam
was emphasized in an official cable de-
spatch from Admiral Watson to the
navy department conveying Governor
I4eary'S third appeal for an iCe-making
machine and refrigerating plant, to be
delivered as soon as possible The mes
sage had been sent to Manila by the
collier Brutus for cabling, m order to
impress the authorities at Washington
with the urgency of the matters.
In Governor Leary'S mailed reports
he had called attention to this as his
most important want the first time sew
eral months ago, when he drew atten-
ton to the unpallatable temperature of
all the water in his island paradise, and
again in his requisitiOn of October II,
when he made clear the discOmfOrts of
existence in the Guam climate without
cool drinks and cold meats.
Had not the necessities of his posi-
ton been more pressing than was real
lied at the department it is certain that
the governor would not have regarded
it essential to prod the authorities by
cable.
The method of Captain Leary to get
what he wants will undoubtedly prove
effectual, and the next ship that leaves
Manila for Guam will carry assurances
to that effect. Proposals had already
been requested for an ice-making ma
chine and plant, for erection at Agana,
and measures will be taken in the next
week to have the apparatus, if only a
small one, delivered at San Francisco
by January l. Soon after that the col
lier Scandal will start for Guam and
viii carry the refrigerator and all it's
accessories.
With a cold storage outfit and a
supply Of fresh beef occasionally from
Manila, Governor Leary viii be able to
furnish subsistence for more men than
he can take care of with the present
food supply of the island, and it is prob
able that the Scandia will take an ex-
ira company of marines to him. The
strengthening of the garrison as well
as furnishing the Americans of the col
ony with their accustomed comforts.

LIMOGES TRIUMPH.
Influential London Opposition Daily
Is Silenced.

New York. Nov. PA dispatch to
the World from London says:
H. w. Massingham's resignation of
the editOrship of the Daily Chronicle
is a striking example of the extent to
which jing0 influences dominate the
Liberal party.
The World correspondent has author
ity stating that Mr. Massingham was
requested by the proprietOrs of the
Chronicle to suspend all further critic
ism of the South African policy of the
government while the war continues,
but as Mr. Massingham had taken a
strong anti-jingO line he refused to stul-
tify himself by acceding to this extra
ordinary request and resigned.
Through this receding of the Chron-
icle the only influential London daily
which has opposed jingOism disappears
1t is believed that its prOprietOrs We're
impelled to this change of front by
ministerial and other Influences, actu-
ated by the extreme gravity of the
South African situation and the i'm
perative necessity for suppressing all
criticism of the war and the exposure
of it's apparently inevitable result by
Independent newspapers. 1t is rumor-
ed that similar steps have been taken
to silence the Evening Echo which fol-
lowed the Chronicle lines.

the battle tot GuiguintO, feel a keen
interest in the Funston Callahan
fight and I am willing to make an
affidavit that Lieutenant Callahan was
in the battle to GuiguintO, and that the
statements made against him are I'M
true.
The battle of Guiguinto began while
our regiment was crossing the GUi-
guintO river bridge, and I, being sick,
was unable to cross the bridge alone,
when Lieutenant Callahan caught up
with me, lifted me up and carried me
across the bridge during the heat of
the battle.
The accusations against Callahan are
untrue, and there was not a better sol
der in the regiment than was Callahan.
He has been maliciOusly wrOnged, and
1 shall try to right that wrong. Very
truly yours,

other; a book or something for the

The governor was considerably sur
prised to note that the letter contained
no requests for red wagons and loud
drums. The petition has been turned
over to the court of visitation.

GEORGIA PROHIBITION BILL
Passes the House by Five Majority.
Dangers in the Senate.

Atlanta, Ga, November 22.-The Will
lingham BILL providing for prohibition
in Georgia, was passed by the lower
house of the general assembly today.
The vote stood: Ayes, 90; noes, IS.
The mea sure received a majority of
but five votes, lightweight being the
two-thirds vote. Although the bill
has passed this stage, it is not assured
that it will become a law. 1t is known
that of the fOrty-fOur members cOnSti
tuting the state senate, twenty-five op-
pose the measure, and this means it's
defeat. However, the friends of the
bill hope by amendments to secure it's
passage through the upper house, al
though those opposed to the measure
claim that these changes in it's word
ing will virtually nullify it. Governor
Gambler has not committed himself in
regard to the bill.
Great pressure was brought to bear
from every section Of the state in be-
half of and against the bill and it's pas
sage is considered a signal victory for
the advocates of prohibition.
The bill prohibits the manufacture,
sale, keeping for sale, the giving away
or furnishing to induce trade or for any
other valuable consideration, except
physicians furnishing to patients un-
der treatment by them, or the furnish
ing at any public place, of Intoxicating
liquors, fermented or distilled. All Sa-
looms will be closed, breweries shut
down and no club or other private or
ganiZatfon will be permitted ito keep
beverages for members. 1t will not
however, interfere with banquets or
private entertainments.

A LETTER FROM GEN. WHEELER.
His Reasons for Annexation OF the
Philippines.

Huntsville, Ala, November e2.-In a
letter from Santa Rita, Luzon. TO an
admirer in this city, General Joseph
Wheeler discusses conditions In the is
lands. He advocates their annexation.
General Wheeler writes:
The time is passed for the people
of the United States to discuss the
question of what is to be done with the
Philippines. While We have not ad-
vanced far into the country yet. the
territory controlled by the United
states contains more than a million
people. We have given the people to
understand that we are here to- re-
main, and very many of them have
committed themselves TO us. II we were
to abandon the country, these people
who desire American protection will be
subjected TO all kinds of reprisals.
their property would be confiscated and
many of them killed.
For us TO go on and conquer the
country and then withdraw our army
and abandon the country would make
matters worse than TO leave ii now. We
would have induced more people to ad
here to US and, therefore. would leave
more people to become the victims of
revenge.
Inere Is anOtner view: we drove
out the Spaniards who had been the
governing power nearly 400 years. For
US to withdraw would leave a condi-
ton of anarchy, and foreigners who
own property in the country would
have certainly a strong moral claim
against the United States for their
losses.
II think the people generally want
peace. OF course, Aguinaldo and his Of
ficers are reluctant to yield their power,
and many of their soldiers are pleased
with their duties, as for the first time
in their lives they have guns and, with
the connivance of the officers, are per-
mitted to rob the people and commit
OutrageS. Under a good government
this country would be one of great
wealth and our connection with ii
would be of great benefit to the Unit
ed States.
The evil features of these islands
have been exaggerated. Their extent
is so great from north to south and va
ration of the altitude is such that
there is a great variety of climate and
production. Americans will find this
an excellent field for their energies"

Senator Cullom's Views on Important
Measures Before 1t.

Atlanta, Ga, November PA special
from Chattanooga, Tenn, says United
States Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, of
Illinois, arrived here today from Wash
iugton. accompanied by United States
Pension Commissioner III. Clay Evans.
They came to attend the dedicat ton of
the Illinois monuments.
Senator Cullom gave out an inter
view touching upon many important
national subjects. He stated that there
was no doubt that the house of repre-
sentatives would refuse to seat Con-
gresham Roberts, of Utah. Speaking
Of the Nicaragua CO nal question, he
stated that congress would undoubted-
ly build this, but that Ii had not been
decided whether this would be ordered
at the coming session. He said congress
would make a declaration in favor OF
the vigorous prosecution of the waI
for the supremacy of the United
States over the Philippine islandg.
Mr.. Cullom paid a beautiful tribute
to Vice President Eobart, saying he
was the best presiding officer the SEN
ate has had ir thirty years, and that
he was one Of the most popular and
brilliant men he had ever met.
