Hazardous but Lucrative-Lord Vol
 seley's Directions.
 | The word Spy has an ugly sound, owing to it's many unpleasant aseocia- tions, yet in war time spies afford an army aid which is as valuable as it is | highly remunerated.
 One of the maxims for commanding officers, in a book for their guidance written by Lord Wolseley, is that as successful spy must be petted and made much of. The management of spies is very difficult Out of every ten employ ed by the officer commanding war district he s fortunate if one gives him truthful information. It is a most im- portant thing that spies should not be known to each other. Great care is generally taken by officers that each spy shall imagine that he is the only one who is employed.
 It is very necessary that all bona fide spies should have about their persons some means of proving themselves real ly to be what they represent. For this purpose a coin of certain date, Bible of certain edition, a Testament with the seventh Of fifteenth leaf torn out, are generally employed.
 By these means spy who was em- ployed by an officer in a neutral state, making his way to the headquarters of the army in the field, could thus at once make himself known to the intelligence department there. In some instances it is considered that a password or sign should be employed, as it is less com promising. The putting up of the right hand to the ear and then to the left ear, or some such gesture, is generally employed.
 The more extensive the ramifications of the system the better are the chances of escaping detection. It is very neces- sary that officers of the intelligence de- partment should be provided with specially prepared paper, upon which

THE PHILIPPINE POLICY.

The presidents instructions to the
Philippines commission given under
date of April Z. 1900. are now made pub
lie Some portions of them were quoted
by the president in his letter OF accept
ance and their general character has
been fairly wen understood for some
time The earlier commission. OF which
President Schurman was the head, was
an investigating body. The present
commission has greater governmental
powers. 1t is, in fact, the central gov
erning body in the Philippines. but its
authority is limited to such parts OF the
islands as have been transferred to it
by the military governor and it acts IN
der the direction of the war department.
The general principles on which the
commission is to work were indicated
by the president in his letter of accept
ance. Local native governments are to
be established as rapidly as order is re-
stored and all minor offices. so far as
possible, are to be filed by natives I'M
der a merit system of appointment, the
indispensable qualification for all Office
holders being absolute and uncondition-
al loyalty to the United States Partic-
ular attention is tc be paid to education
and to public improvement. The land
system is to be studied and reported
upon. The leading features Of the Bill
of Rights Of the United States Constf-
tuition are to be observed. The s.unciv-
Iized tribes" Of the islands are to be
permitted to retain their tribal organi-
nations and left very much to them

selves so long as they leave Others
alone, after the same principle adopted
toward the North American Indians
The president concludes: '-As high
and sacred an obligation rests upon the
government of the United States to give
protection for property and life, civil
and religious freedom, and wise, firm.
and unse1fish guidance in the paths of
peace and prosperity to all the people of
the Philippine Islands charge this
commission to labor for the full per-
Torrance of this obligation, which con-
Germs the honor and conscience of their
country, in the firm hope that through
their labors all the inhabitants OF the
Philippine Islands may come to look
back with gratitude to the day when
God gave victory to American arms at
Manila and set their land under the
sovereignty and the protection OF the
people Of the United States.''

Hays City, Sept. 21.-Jerry Simpson

Jerry spoke at Wakeeney on Tuesday

in the evening did lots of loud talking.
On the train from there to Hays City
he was in the same and tried to raise
a fuss. At the hotel in Hays City he
Kept up his TRADE, but Jerry paid no
attention. Then he threatened to dis
turb the meeting and jerry was loaded
for him, but he didn't peep, but on the
street he threatened to get his brass
knuckles from his grip and break Jer-
rvs ugly face. This riled the Medicine
Lodge statesman and he followed the
drummer to the hotel, took off his
specks, ran into the hotel Office and the
poor wretch cried out, Mr.. Landlord, /
am your guest; seek protection"
Every body roared and the poor drum
