PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
The Chicago Tribune Prints Summary of
What Has Been Accomplished Dur
ing the Campaign.

Chicago, Oct. S0.-The Chicago Trib-
une prints summary of the situation
in the Philippine islands. The letter
is from the Tribune's Manila CORE
spondent, Richard 81. Little, and is
dated Manila, September II, more than
a month ago. The letter follows:
Here are some figures made ~ months after
our campaign in the island began. Say it is 81
miles to Angeles-we hold possession of the rail-
road up to that point. We can fairly take pos
session of the land half-Inile each side of
the track. We have possession of the wagon
road and, let say, half-mile on each side
from San Fernando through Bacolor to 9anta
Rita, eight miles, with four miles to Guage.
miles northeast We can claim II square miles
here
We have Manila, out far as the water
works, five miles away. That gives US, say, %
miles around the city. Then we have the road
and half mile each side down Is miles to linus.
Then we have Calamba and some other points
on the lake that Gen. Lawton captured before
preached by road but by boat across the Laguna
de Bay, and we control only the land they stand
on.
Adding up our total possessions we find we
have III square miles. The island of Luzon
contains az, 600 square miles.
Outside of Luzon the inSurrection seems to be
growing. The insurgents hold ports in Ndinda-
mao, the next largest island to Luzon in the
Philippines and said to be intellectually rich in
gold and silver Mines iron and copper ores, coal
and other minerals. besides possessing wonder
full forests of hard wood No Americans have
dared venture there as yet as Gen. Otis has
sent no troops to the Island. Englishmen and
Germans are prowling about the island getting
all the concessions they can. It is said several
prospecting parties are at work.

emit Offenders Against Uncle Sans
Laws, Back in Prison.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 2s.-J. C.
McKibben, the Texas counterfeiter, is
back in the federal penitentiary again.
This is the prisoner who was actively
at work counterfeiting while in the
federal penitentiary three years ago.
He was employed in the photograph
gallery and was making imitation So
bills when detected. Since his release
he has been arrested twice for counter
feiting. He was to be tried in the fed
eral court here on charge of counter
feiting and was out on bond, but in the
meantime was arrested in Texas for
the same offense.

Nest WonderfuI WORK of Art.

Estimates differ as to the cost of the
Dewey arch in permanent form. One
is $500, 900, but that of prominent
sculptor is $1,000, 900. The site will
probably be in or near Central park A
citizens committee has the matter in
charge, and the subscriptions pledged
are already numerous. When put into
marble the monument will be known
as the Navy arch, COMMUNICATING all
American sea captains and the men
behind the guns. The arch is unques-
tionably the most wonderful work of
art ever produced in six weeks.

Prefer Horsefiesb to Reef.

Many people in Denmark prefer
horsefiesh to beef. In Germany and
Austria business is brisk in horse meat
preparations, and is becoming more so
every year. England is still reluctant
about accepting the new aliment. The
first horse butchers in Paris were only
established in 1866; that special trade
is now legally carried on, and is con-
siderably increasing, as demonstrated
by municipal statistics-so much so
that to-day over 5000 tons of horsefesh
are consumed annually in Paris, sold
by 60 licensed horse butchers.

MAsoN's RESIGNATION.
1t Is Said the Illinois Senator VIII Soon
Take a High-SaIaried Legal Posi-
tiOn-Tanner to Succeed Him.
Chicago, Oct. a8-The Herald to-day

Chicago, Oct. 28-The Herald to-day
says:
Senator William E. Mason's threat to resign
unless the administration present foreign pol
icy is changed, according to the latest prophecy,
may be executed before Christmas. Persons
who assume to be well informed insist that he
will step out Immediately in pursuance of an
arrangement which will change the face Of re-
publican politics in Illinois. The story, wide
~ circulated yesterday, to this effect:
Senator Mason will resign in a few weeks to
take high salaried legal position-S1200 900 or
more year-with one of the biggest corpora
tions in the country, having headquarters in
Chicago. Gov. Tanner will then resign and
Lieut.. Gov. Northcott, on succeeding to the
governorship, will appoint Tanner to the
wasn't senatorship. With Tanner thus elimi-
mated from the gubernatorial situation, North
cott-can be made the organization candidate
for governor next year. The interests which
are alleged to be making Senator Mason theiF
attorney at big salary with long term con-
tract, are interests which have friendly feel
ing for Gov. Tanners future.

England Commands the Sea.

The persons who are talking in this
country and in Europe of joining the
Beers must be either ignorant of geog-
raphy or imagine they can go to the
Transvaal in balloons. England has
command of the sea, and the TransvaaI
has not even a port on any of the
oceans. The chances, of course, are
that nobody in the United States, at
least, will attempt to go to the Beers
aid. Thousands of persons in this
country sympathize with the two little
republics, but they can furnish no help

When the Century Begins.

The astronomer of the royal observa-
tory at Greenwich, Eng, writes as fol-
lows to the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat:
In reply to your inquiry, we beg to in
form you that the twentieth century
begins on January l, 1901. 1t has been
generally agreed that we call the first
year of the Christian era ammo domini
L, not ammo domini o; and, consequent
1y, the second century begins with ammo
domini 1O1, or 100 years after the be-
ginning of the first year, and so on,
for the succeeding centuries.

Lord Roseberx,s Prediction.

London, Oct. 29.-Lord Rosebery, in
in speech at private dinner of poll
ticians, referred to the war and the
heavy loss of life, saying that they had
to deplore the death of Gen. Symons
and before they sheathed the sword
there would be many more such losses.
In the meanwhile, he added, the coun-
try ought to present a united front to
the enemy. In his opinion the Trans
vaal was not very complicated ques-
ton, but merely the effort of a commu-
nifty to put back the clock.''

Believes in Fighting Boys.

Addressing the New York assembly
of mothers, the other dav. on how to
bring up family, Gov. Roosevelt
Enthusiastically remarked that he
wouldn't give cent for a boy that
wouldn't fight. He would be no use in
life and would be a coward. The gov
ernor qualified this rather sweeping
assertion by telling the mothers always
to teach their boys to fight on the side
of righteousness.

Largest Printing once.

The foundation for the new govern
ment printing Office is complete and
work will be pushed forward. When
finished it will be the largest printing
office in the world, as well as the most
fully equipped. The total number of
bricks used in it will be about 10, OO0,-
900, and it will take about IL, 600, 900
pounds of steel. The building will be
completed in 1902, if steel can be pro-
cured by that time. Approximately, it
rs estimated that it will need $50, 600
pounds of steam pipes for heating and
1000 incandescent lights will be in
