PHILIPPINE TROOPS.
The War Department VIII Replace Those
Who Have seen Longest Service by New
Recruits from Home.

Washington, March 9.-The war de-
partment has taken the initial steps
toward renovating the military forces
in the Philippines by returning in
small detachments the troops who
have seen longest service there and
replacing them by recruits raised in
this country. The movement began
last week, when instructions were
sent to Gen. Otis to pick out a bat
talon from each of the three regi-
ments which had been longest in the
Philippines, namely, the Fourteenth,
Eighteenth and Twenty-thirdinfa
and return them to the United States.
The Eighteenth infantry is scattered
through the island of Panay, the
Twenty-third in the islands of Cebu
and Jolo, and the Fourteenth is at
Manila. The men picked out for re-
turn will be those whose terms of
enlistment are about to expire or
those broken in health. While Gen.
Otis has not yet signifed what force
he requires to compensate for the
withdrawal of these three battalions,
the department is proceeding on the
assumption that the recruits gath
cred in New York ready to leave for
Manila on the Sumner, when that
transport is completed will suffice.

Why the Farmers Of Kansas Should Insure Their
Crops in the Farmers Mutual Hail Association.

FIRST. Because it is a purely mutual
company, organized under the Laws of the
State OF Kansas, for mutual protection to the
Farmer.
SECOND. Because large number of the
leading farmers throughout the State are
banded together for the purpose of aiding
those who have the misfortune of losing their
crops by hail.
THIRD. Because this Association fur
nishes insurance at actual cost to it's MEM
bers, thus avoiding the high rates of insur-
ance charged by other companies.
FOURTH. Because you are aware of the
fact that Farmers Mutual Insurance COM
panes are success, and should you sustain
a loss you are sure to receive the full amount
of your damage.
FIFTH. Because there is no deduction
made for harvesting, marketing or threshing.
SIXTH. Because every farmer who in
sures in this Association is member thereof
and is entitled to voice in the management
of the business.
SEVENTH. Because we have deposited
securities to the amount of $4,000 for your
protection with the State Insurance Commits
soner.

Washington, March 9.-Formal dis
cussion of the Puerto Rcan tariff and

half. The principal speakers were
Senator Foraker (rep.), of Ohio, in

senators were participants. After
Senator Mason, of Illinois, had entered

tee on foreign relations from further
consideration Of his resolution eX-'
pressing sympathy for the Beers and
it had gone over until today, under
the rule, Senator Pettus delivered a
carefully prepared speech in oppoSi-
ton TO the pending bill. He argued
that II was unconstitutional ard in
violation Of the principles of this
government as laid down by the ia
theirs of the country.
Senator Foraker occupied the floor
during the remainder Of the session.
lie explained the measure in detail
and gave the reasons why the commit
tee had determined upon the levying
Of q tariff upon Puerto Rican pro
ducts. In his opinion il was impos-
sibe for direct tax to be levied
upon the people of the island to sup
port local government, because of
their present destitute condition. The
committee, he said, had conceived the
idea of placing a small tariff on Puer-
to Rcan products in order to raise
sum sufficient with the sum other
