General Pho del Pillar, who has been
captured by the Filipino police near San
Pedro Macati, has been one of the worst
trouble makers among the Filipino
leaders. He has been regarded as second
only to Aguinaldo in his ability as fight
er and in his hatred of America. Despite
these facts, Pho del Pillar has more than
once let his personal hatred of Aguinaldo
and his love of gain lead him to make
traitorous proposals to the American
generals Last October it was reported
that he had offered to surrender his army
after a sham battle for $4,000, and to
secure the overthrow of the rebellion and

w. G. HASSARD ARRESTED
Wanted In Idaho on Charge of De,
frauding Creditors.

William G. Hassard, a weU-known
employee of the Salt Lake City Rail-
road company. was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Dowse on
a Geographic request from the sheriff
of Bingham county, Idaho. The arrest
was made when the accused was on
one Of the street cars on one of his
in trims.
As indicated in the dispatch, Hassard
is wanted on a warrant charging him
with living defrauded his creditors at
Idaho Falls. and as requested he will
be held in the custody of Sheriff How
ellis at the county Jail, pending the ar
rival OF an officer from Idaho with
warrant and requiSitien papers for the
prisoner The fact that HaSSard re-
fuses 10 return TO Idaho without due
process of eXtradition will probably de-
lay the arrival of an officer for him
until tomorrow.
HaSsard claims that his arrest is a
mistake. Recently he returned from
Idaho Falls where he had been for
several months past engaged in mer-
camille business in partnership with one
Armstrong, his brOtheF-in-laW. one of
the brothers OF the late Francis Arm
strong. He says that after a period
the business was profitable but on ac-
count of differences of opinion he sold
out his interest to his partner and he
Is at loss to know why he should be
arrested.

beneficial results of judicious publicity,

all means at their command to make
the tour successful and beneficial"
The league representatives have been
received everywhere in manner be-
fitting their mission. Our work has
been endorsed by the brainiest, the
brightest and the most progressive men
of the west-governors, railroad Off
Gals, presidents of commercial organ
iZations, the press and people general
ly, wherever the scope and purpose of
our journey has been made known.
At the close of the half-stage of the
tour, looking back over the period of
three months and over a territory of
12,e00 miles, many pleasant memories
are brought to mind. The good people
encountered, the live, aggressive, wide
thousands. The non-appreciative, non
progressive can be numbered by the
fingers of a single hand.
The representatives OF the Great
Eastern Newspaper league have been
impressed with the fact that the west
as a whole is peopied with wide
awake, progressive citizenship.
There are, of course, a few back
numbers, and in many communities it
will be a source of qualification when
certain funerals are celebrated, but as
a whole the west is made uD of live
people. 1t is made up of men of that
sort of enthusiasm and progressive
spirit which oIerccrnes obstacles, no

velODers of countries.
In looking backward over the terri
tory thus far traversed much in praise
and credit could be written of the hun
dred or more communities visited. 1t
can be said truthfully that wherever
our party has gone we have moved on,
regretting that our acquaintance with
the people whom we had the pleasure
of meeting was of so short duration.
The fact that we have been so grac-
iously and considerably received
throughout our entire journey has
moved every member of our party to
the point of highest appreciation, and
we feel that when our work is eried,
when the tour of the west mas been
finished, and it becomes our duty to
write story, telling of our impress

uncertain returns, and TO tell in a
series of letters what exists in fact.
More than anything else in their
travels the League representatives
have been impressed with the one fact
that the west, to become truly great,
but needs to have her greatness
known and to make known her great
ness. To proclaim her wonderful
resources, to point out inviting loca-
tions for home-seekers, to discover
profitable fields for the investment of
capital, to ferret out opportunities for
the many restless thousands of the
East with small and large capital to
invest, constitutes the most import

has prepared a reply to a resolution
recently adopted by camp of confed-
crate veterans at New Orleans, con-
demning the blue and gray reunion al

against General Gordon accepting an
invitation to the G. A. R. reunion at
Chicago. The reply is as follows:
''Kirkwood. Ca, Aug. 20.
ITO the Confederate Association of the
Army of Tennessee:
"Comrades-A resolution recently
adopted by your association at the in
stance of General Chaleron, critieising
certain acts or supposed acts of mine,
entirely escaped my attention at the
time Of its appearance in the public
press and l have Just seen it for the
first time. l understand this action
OF your association to mean a formal
and public notice that you disapprove
of my participation in the blue and
gray meeting which recently occurred
IN Atlanta; and also that it means a
ISOLATION against my acceptance of an
invitation extended to me by the Grand
Army of the Republic, and by the ex-
ecutive committee of the citizens of
Chicago.
Guided By Duty.
THE object of this reply to your
resolution, which you failed to send
me, is not to call in question the right
~ -i.afT
cial act of mine which does not meet
your approval L do wish, however.
TO state frankly and plainly that my
own conscience and my own concep-
ton OF duty must be my guide in the
future as in the past.
As TO the courteous and cordial in
Vitation of both the @. A. R. and of the
executive committee of Chicago citi-
zens L have to state that I greatly
appreciate the compliment paid me by
that invitation and the spirit which
prompted it. Circumstances, however.
rendered 1t impossible for me to ac-
cept and 1 so notified the officers and
committees nearly two months ago
when that invitation first reached me
But IN this connection also I wish to
say that l must be the judge, now and
hereafter, of the prOpriety Of accepting
invitations from any section of the
country or any class Of my fellow
countrymen.
In order that there may be no pos
slble misunderstanding of my position
on these and all kindred matters. I
repeat, my sole guide must be nv own
convictions Of duty 10 this whole coun-
try and to the southern people, whose
glorious record in all the past, whose
traditions, dignity and honor I have
endeSvored to defend and uphold at all
times IN all sections and under all con-
ditiOns.

Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister OF the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada:
Sir-Thinking that my experience in
Manitoba might be both useful and in
teresting to my fellow countrymen in
the United States who may be looking
to Manitoba and the Northwest with
the intention of settling there, l have
much pleasure in stating that through
information received from Mr.. w. h.
McCreary, immigration Commissioner
at Winnipeg, l was induced to visit
Manitoba in February, 1898. When L
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
etc, in his possession, the result Of
which was that l came here with Il
letter of introduction from him to the
secretary of the Virden Board Of Trade.
That gentleman provided ME with a
competent land guide, and although
there was considerable snow on the
ground, had no difficulty in selecting
three homesteads for myself and sons.
Having made the necessary homestead
entries at the land office insBrandon, l
returned to my home in Lyon County,
Minnesota, and came back here in May
following, accompanied by one of my
boys, bringing with US two teams OF
horses, implements, etc. Our first
work was to erect a temporary shanty
and stable, after which we broke and
leveled 75 acres and put up 80 tons of
hay. l went back to Minnesota about
the Goth OF July, leaving my son here.
/ returned in October, bringing my
family with me. l found that the land
we had acquired was Of good quality,
being a strong clay loan with clay
SuDSOil. Last spring l soWed 100 acres
in wheat, so acres in oats and barley
Us acres of this grain was sowed on
'gOback' plowed last spring.. My crop
was threShed in October, the result
being over 2,100 bushels Of grain in all.
Wheat averaged Is bushels per acre
and graded No. hard, but that which
was sOWn or land other than sod ego
back'D went 241a bushels per acre.
To say that l am well pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quateIy express my feelings, and l
have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, if
they are willing to do a fair amount of
work. l am ten miles from Eirden,
which is a good market town, and nine
miles from Hargrave, where there are
two elevators. This summeB l erected
q dwelling house of native stone and
bought a halfsection of land adjoining
our homestead, for which paid very
moderate price. There are still some
homesteads in this district, and land
Of fine quality can be purchased from
the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. at
$3.50 per acre on liberal terms. Good
water is generally found at a depth OF
from - to 90 feet. l have 115 acres
ready for crop next year.
Tie cost Of living here is about the
same as in Southern Minnesota. Some
commodities are higher and others
lower in price. but the average is about
the same. l remain, your obcd!ent ser
want.
