Even that view of the juvenile court
which one may get from reading the
newspapers is enough to show that the
courts highest efficacy may consist in
suggesting it's terrors to the youthful
defendants rather than in applying
them. The boy of II charged with tru-
ancy, for example, who wept and
pleaded when confronted with the
court, will never be so much afraid of
it again. Perhaps he will never be
so much afraid of any other court In
discriminate leniency would, of course,
in time destroy the usefulness of the
institution. But there is no other court
in which the chance to try again may
be extended with so large a probable
ity of good results to so great a num-
Der.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-General Otis
summarizes the situation in Luzou in
a dispatch to the war department, in
which he says the insurgent govern
ment can no longer claim to exist, its
troops and officials are scattered and
Aguinaldo is in hiding. The dispatch
follows:
MANILA, Nov. 24.-The claim to a
government by the insurgents can be
made no longer under any fiction. Its
treasurer, secretary of interior and the
president of it's congress are in our
hands. It's president and the remain
ing cabinet officers are in hiding, evil

inces. Its generals and troops are in
small bands, scattered through these,
provinces, acting as bandits or the dis
persed forces are playing the role of
aminos with arms concealed. The in
dications are that Aguinaldo did not
escape through the lines of Lawton or
Wheaton. but fled westward from the
Bayombong railway station. Tele-
graphic communication to Dagupan
was established and will probably be
to San Fabian to-day. BY re1aying
nine miles of track with material at
hand, the railway communication to
that point will be re-established. The

At the Sanitary Institute at South
ampton DR.. Manly stated that several
outbreaks of typhoid fever in Liver
pool had been traced to contaminated
ice cream. Since 1898 3t9 persons had
applied to the Liverpool health author
tiles for permission to sell ice cream,
and Sc had been told that owing to
unsuitability Of premises they must
make other arrangements. There had
been two convictions, and in one
case the stipendiary magistrate re-
marked that the best punishment for
the defendant would be to make him
live on his own ice cream for a time,
DR.. Manly stated that Glasgow had
adopted a similar policy to Liverpool,
and advised local authorities to apply
for parliamentary powers on the lines
of those granted by the Liverpool act
of 1898.

REPUBLIC is CRUMBLING.
A guinaldo Now Abandoned by Politicians


and Army.
MANILA, Nov. 25.-The news which
the steamship Brutus brings from Dag
upan dispels all doubts that the So
called Filipino republic is crumbling
like house of cards. Aguinaldo, de-
serted, or being abandoned by the
politicians and the army, which a
fortnight ago was entrenched at Tar
lac and exercised a 'de-facto govern
ment over nine-tenths of the people of
Luzon, is fugitive in the mountains,
with small hope of re-establishing the
machine. The army is scattered in
the hills on both sides of the railroad
and widely separated detachments are
within the Gordon which Generals Law
ton and Wheaton have cemented. The
ruling spirit of the cabinet, Buencam-
inc, the secretary of state, is prisoner
in Manila white elephant on the
hands of the authorities-and the small
fry are tumbling over one another to
get to Manila. Three provincial gov
errors have arrived in Manila to re-
guest General Otis to install them in
their old offices under the new regime.
DR.. Luna, a brother of General Luna,
and a prominent insurrectiOnist, has
arrived here and his friends and many
others are applying to General Otis for
permission to enjoy the luxuries of
Manila after months of separation
from civilization.

Able to Force an Arrar cement as ~
China.
LONDON, Nov. 27.-As result of the
United States request to the powers
for assurances regarding the mainten-
ance of the ''open door" in China, the
Associated Press is able to say that
negotiations have been entered into,
looking to a more permanent and inn
portant international agreement than
yet mooted. Though the greatest
official reticence is observed at all the
capitals regarding this secret move
ment, there is good ground for believ-
ing that the negotiations have reached
a hopeful stage. According to reports
current here, in consequence of Russia
and France failing to reply satisfac-
torily to Washington's request, the
United States decided to take up the
Chinese question still more vigorously.
The cooperation of Great Britain to
this end, it is asserted, was secured,
and it is said on the initiative of the
United States, efforts were set on foot
to secure not only assurances to the
United States, but a definite agreement
between the European powers them
selves. The Associated Press is in
formed on good authority there are
fair chances of Great Britain, Russia,
Germany and Japan, in conjunction
with the United States, becoming sig
natories to treaty eliminating the
and determining their fiscal policy in
that quarter of the globe, based on the
''opcn door" principle.

South Africa.
CAPE Town, Nov. 5.--Unconfrmed
reports continue to arrive here to the
effect that General White recently
caught the Beers in trap at Lady
smith, inducing attachments Of the
beleaguering force to venture into the
open country, when sortie of parties
OF the British camp captured them. 1t
Is difficult, however, to believe that
news of such Importance would not
have been officially announced and it
is held that the affair described will
probably turn out to be the sortie re-
ported from Boer headquarters Novem-
Der %. Late arrivals from Pretoria
estimate the Boer casualties at thous-
and men, half of whom were killed.
They also say the race course there is
being prepared for lager in the event
of siege and the guns OF the fort
are trained it in case the prisoners
attempt to escape. A Maxim gun has
been placed at the gate of the race
course. From Kruger down every one
favors fighting. They believe they
will succeed in annexing all the be-
leaguered towns. The flag of the
United Republic is now ready, and
bears an orange cross. The Beers ex-
pect the war to last from four to six
months, when they will possess all of
South Africa.

REPORT is SENSATIONAL.
Grand Jury Criticises Methods at Nit
cheIlYllIe.


cheIlvilIe.
DIES MONIES, Nov 25.--The grand
jury yesterday filed it's report on its
investigation into the recent riot at
the Mitchellville industrial school for
girls, its causes, the management of
the school and remedies needed. The
report is of a decidedly sensational
character, finds much fault with the
manner in which the school has been
conducted, the combining together of
girls of all ages and degrees of mean
ness, the action of the board of control
in changing the officers and cutting
down the salaries of employees, and its
general attitude toward the school.
Further than this, superintendent
Miller is taken to task and practically
held responsible for the recent riots
because of his failure to take meas
ures to quell the disturbance when
it first broke out and for subjecting to
punishment all the girls in one of the
dormitories for the misdeeds of few
The committing magistrates are also
censured and are accused of making
the school dumping ground for all
kinds of vice. Fault is found with the
measure recently enacted by the leg
islature raising the age at which girls
committed to the school shall be re-
leased from Is to p years. The lack
of supervision at the school which per-
mitted girls To resort to secret places
for immoral purposes is condemned,
as are some of the methods of punish
ment employed at the school, principal
of which was the wiring of girls to
log chain in a cemented basement.

CUBAN EDITOR THREATENS.
Intimates That Cuban People are Ready
For Revolt.

HAVANA, Nov. 23.-General Collazo,
in an editorial in the Cubano today,
says:
I'VE are only waiting for the decis-
ion of the United States congress.
upon which depends the decision that
Cuba herself will reach. If the Ian
guage of the Americans is not clear,
the horizon of Cuba will darken with
tremendous protests which will rise
from all parts of the island. Cuba is
resolved. Their words must not be
taken as mere boastings. They will
not abandon solitary right. They
will not tolerate the calm, diplomatic
cheating of Washington.
"A worthy people cannot tolerate
foreign interference in their private
affairs, even when that interference is
in the name of altruism. The Cubans
do not owe the Americans as much
now as they formerly did. Perhaps
tomorrow they will have reason to
deny that they owe them anything
at all"

Forty-eight Counties Have Mulct In

Dies MONIES, Nov. 23.-In 49 counties
in Iowa saloons operate legally. Dur
ing the year ending June 30, 1899,
there were 1880 saloons operated in

These and many other interesting
facts concerning the operations of the
mulct law have been compiled for State
Auditor Merriam, and will be pub
lished in his Forthcoming report. No
statistics on the mulct law and its OPP
Grafton have ever before been presented
in any official report of state depart
ment. That there are mulct saloons
in 40 counties will be a surprise to
many people. II has commonly been
estimated that they existed in only
about one-third of the counties. In
eight counties, however, the petitions
on file are only for single cities; in all
the other forty they are for the entire
county.
