less he stands as the most notable figure
OF the country"
General Pearson was asked what he
thought OF the treatment the English
accorded to the prisoners. "They trent
our women In shameful way" he
answered. '"fhey are trying to fight us
with our wives. for they Issue procIams-
ton saying that our women shall be
transferred from the towns of the British
to our own towns, thinking that we
dare not resist with women we love
among u.s."
srhe end Of 1t ALL he continued.
"well / don't know. They can never
catch us, and for this reason, no English
general darss come against our little
bands of 5000 or 5000 men with force of
less than 10000. They are hindersd by
tina sizs of the column"
General Pears IN was asked, who In his

pomp and circumstance which might
have attended the obsequies of member
of the royal family the remains Of Sir
Arthur sullivan, who died here Thurs
day last, were Inferred In st. Paul's
cathedral this afternoon.
Representatives of every phase of socie-
ty participated. The Queen, Empsro
william of Germany, the Prince OF Wales
and other royalties were represented.
while the musical and dramatic world
attended In force. The presence, OF Mr..
Joseph H. Choate, the United States am
bassador, and other diplomats, testified
to the international position held by the
dead composer. The coffin was Embedded
in magnificent floral tributes sent from
friends. and In such numbers that they
filled four glass hearses.
Just as Mr.. Choate with Mr.. Charles
Wyndham, Mr.. George II. sims and other
well known persons arrived at the chapel
royal, the attendants received orders to
close the doors as the chapel was full.
Mr.. Choate expostulated and showed his
care OF admission, but all to no avail.
Mr, Gins remarked In a low tone 'The
o-AmerIcan entents cordiaie is shat
tered after all these years"
For ten minutes the United States am
bassador was kept waiting but finally the
attendants were ordered to admit him
and the other distinguished persons with
him. The service was now well advanced.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Judge Taft Writes of Their ReIources
And Needs.

Cincinnati, November 27.-Judge Taft,
president OF the Philippine commission,
in letter to friend in this city speaks
OF the resources and needs OF the islands
as follows;
with these islands completely pacified,
they are far and away the BEST possessions
in the orisnt for purposes OF trade and
development. Their climate is better
than ths climats of any tropical country
1 know and the capacity for agricultural,
mineral and commercial development
would seem to be unlimited. Even with
the unsettled condition of the country as
1t is, the tonnage OF the vessels coming
into the harbor of Manila, excluding the
government transports, Is double what 1t
ever was In Spanish times and the same
thing Is true of the inter island tonnage.
With the construction OF wagon roads and
railroads through these islands, the OPP
portunities for development cannot be ex-
ageratsd. Thsss people are a people who
take to the luxuries OF life, enjoy good
clothes and comforts and markets
among them for cotton goods, for canned
goods. for flour, for petroleum and for
machinery, oan be created in wonderful
ly short time.
lone OF tine things that is needed here
Is the Introduction OF American business
methods. The establishment OF two or
thres large American business houses IRE
tail or wholesale) carrying into business
the same methods that prevail at home
would do wonders for the business stand
ards of these islands.

Committee to Confer
With Sec'y Root.
How Expanded Army WIN Be
Differed.

Washington, November 27.-The House
committee on military affairs today met
for the purpose Of considering the new
army bill. The Republican members
Of the committee apparently are In favor
of giving the President such anssrmy as
be may require. The iraft of bill al
ready prepared by Chairman HUM will
be the basis Of ths measure which the
committee will consider. The bill pro-
vides for an army OF the maximum
strength OF 100000 men with a minimum
OF sc, 000 and general officers at the rate
OF one brigadier general for each 1900
men, with ma generals in proportion.
The members OF the committee VIII
probably confer with Secretary Root in
day or two. This afternoon they went
over the bill which has been known as
the war department bill drawn. on lines
suggested and approved by Secretary
Root. The secretary expects to give fur
Their consideration to the bill and then
will send 1t to members OF the commit
tee. The war department bill provides
for maximum OF $1,000 men and a
luluAAuuil VI C.OoOs WIN w Az
OF infantry and 10 regiments Of cavalry.
The artillery is not to be organized In
to regiments, but as batteries and orga-
nizAtions OF heavy artillery. With the
maximum army there is to bs 100 men
TO each infantry company, making 1850
men to regiment. The maximum Of
q cavalry troop Is to be 100 men. There
liz no provision for Acknowledgement In
the war department bill, but under the
present law, the senior major-general
commanding would have the rank OF
Acknowledgement. The war department
bill does not give the same increase OF
heterogeneous and brigadier-generals
as the Hull bill. The detailed staff pro-
visions are an important feature OF the
measure. 1t provides that hereafter va
cancies in the staff excepting the medical
corps, pay corps and engineers. shall be
filled by details from the line, such de.
tailed officers being subject to line duty
at any time. This is earnestly favored
by Secretary Root. The war department
bill provides that the promotions shall
be made from the regular army according
to the present rank, down to and -includ-
ing the rank OF captain, the officers Of the
present volunteer army can become OH
cers in the regular amy, but in tine grades
of first and second lieutenant only, the
vacancies In the captain rank being
flled from the first lisutenans Of the pres.
emit regular army, the relative rank of the
volunteer officers entering the regular es-
adjustment to be determined by seniori-
ty. the committee win not hold another
session until Friday. adjourning over

Condemnation years past when

weather, my chest would hurt me and /

to try Peruna, as 1t had helped him, and

1t is only Just ordinary good, common

cough, sneezing, or any other indication
that YOU are @under the weather." few
doses of Peruna will put you right.
Don't wait for the catarrh to fasten
itself upon you before you begin your
treatment. Peruna will cure very old
cases of chronic catarrh, but 1t takes
much longer than as IL the treatment

with which to successfully meet and

awaits them.

Result Of the Publication OF sensa.
tional Stories Hotel Men Dis
mayed-EurekaQ Guaranteed.

The fact that there Is smallpox In
Salt Lake has apparently been widely
circulated all over the country and the
conditions must have been exaggerated
out o. all proportion, because travellers
who can avoid stopping over her Insist
on going through without leaving their
cars Judging from their actions today,
they appear to think that they would
be taking their lives In their hands by
coming I'D town.
This morning tourists and other tray-
elers who had arranged to stop over.
changed their plans. and practically all
through passengers went on. They
would not come up town, but sent to the
various hotels for their mail and had
II brought down to them.
The hotel keepers are dismayed, not
over smallpox. but over the alarm Of
the travelling public. Their rooms are
being emptiei and the effect on their
business will be disastrous should this
state OF affairs continue. q
Of course there Is no ground,for such
scar. The travellers have probably
read some exaggerated and sensational
report and imagine Salt Lake TO be a
plague stricken city. when as a matter
OF TACT less than half dozen cases,
all told. have developed here.
The cases reported last night In the
Hobbs family, while not creating public
alarm, have increased perceptibly the
precautions on the part Of the public.

nand for washwomen today. and the
