LARGER REPRESENTATION.
Knights and Ladies of Security Make
Amendments.

The session of the national council
of the K & L. of S. this morning was
taken up with passing on minor ques-
lions of law and adopting the amend
ment relative to the representation of
the councils to the national council. The
amendment provides both for a change
in the method OF electing delegates and
for an increase in their number. Here
tofore all votes for delegates have been
sent to Topeka and have been counted
by the national officers. Now the diff
fsrent councils will hold county and dis
trict conventions and elect their dele
gates in that way. Each district, which
comprises the same territory as con-
gressional districts, is entitled to one
delegate for every 500 members. or
major fraction thereof instead of one
delegate for every 1000 members as has
been the custom.
1t appears that there has been a. lit
tie hard feeling during the session over
this point. although most of the dele
gates deny it.
One of the officers remarked today:
4 am glad that amendment has been
adopted for some of the members seem
to think that when We received the
votes here that we fixed things up TO
suit ourselves"
A delegate remarked to a visiting
member yesterday that there was some
feeling against the officers because they
seemed to control the actions of the

Archhishon of Dubnnne.

Washington. June 16.--Advices have
reached the legation here from Rome
indicating the early appointment of
Archbishop Keane as Archbishop of
Dubuque. The appointment, it is said,
would have been made before this but
for the antagonism of the German
priests in that see, who favor the Sc
lection of Father Carroll, a professor
at the Dubuque seminary. for the va
cancy. 1t is understood that their op-
position to DR.. Keane arises from his
attitude on the Schroeder case, when

bands of ex-insurgents. who are living
on the country and rob their own peo-
pie. The provost courts are organized
for the purpose of giving these fellows
justice-but of them viii never get it,
as they can not be caught, and even
when caught, it is almost impossible to
get any evidence to convict them.
We are now organizing civil govern
ments throughout this territory. The
form of government for the cities is
very simple and think the people will
be able to administer their local affairs
fairly well-but must say that their
capacity is very limited and / fear that
the army officers will have to do most
of the work Each city has an army
officer appointed to assist the local ma
tive officers.
One OF our greatest troubles is that
each province has a different language.
In this section but few can talk Spanish
and over in my territory practically
none. I am doing what little 1 can to
get the schools organized on the basis
of teaching nothing but English. But
few people can read and write their
own language and they live and cult I
vate crops now the same as they did 100
years ago.
It is expensive for an American to
live here and in Manila if a man is care
full he can live for $50 (gold) per month.
Yours, w. H. BISHOP.
