ALL NEWS SHUT OUT.
Rev. Sheldon's Last Issue OF Topek.
Capital Filled Mainly with
bible Quotations.

Topeka, Kan, March 19.-The Sum
day edition of the Capital contained
not a line of news. Eight pages con-
stitute the paper, four being filled
with quotations from and stories of
the Bible. The first page leader is the
sermon on the mount from the re-
vised version. Following this are 1s
columns of Bible quotations on the
subjects of usury. the Sabbath. money
and riches. marriage, wealth. the evil
of drink, war and the future, in the
order named. Then comes Bible
history of four columns from the
earliest manuscripts to the latest re-
vision. One-half column of editorial
and some short Bible stories fill out
the four pages. ~ -.
The future policy of the Capital
will be along the lines suggested by
Mr.. Sheldon, although, of course, the
paper will be newsy. The details tor
conducting the new Capital have not
yet been worked out, but the plan
probably will be agreed upon and an
nounced after the meeting of the d.
rectors to-day.

some Ceater IN the Situation.

Manila, March 19.-Gen. Otis con
siders Manila the most troublesome
center in the situation to-day. The in.
ssurgent jnnta here, in conjunction with
that In Hong-Kong, is growing active.
The military authorities have been
forced to- put stop to Mabini's inter-
course with the public. The local and
foreign press considers his recent ut
serances calculated to incite the Fill
pfnos to continued revolt and preju-
dicial to American control.
Reports are current here OF active
rebel organization in the province of
Morong, where the insurgent leaders
are said to be assisted by prominent
Spanish residents. Inhabitants of this
province who are now in Manila have
been advised not to return to their
homes, but to remain under the protec-
ton of the Americans. 1t is also re-
ported that the rebels are reorganizinR
In the province of Zambales, under Mas
cardo.
In the province of Albay the insur-
gents have ceased harassing the
Americans, owing, it is reported, to a
lack of ammunition, but they continue
ravaging the country by burning and
looting. The natives are firing of this
sort of thing and threaten to turn
against the marauders. Already the
townspeople of Legaspi, Albay and
Donzol are slowly returning to their
homes.
Gen. Kobbe has opened 20 ports in the
southern part of Luzon and in the is.
lands of samar and Leyte, the result OF
which is to stimulate trade there, al.
though only temporarily, as the coun.
try opened is nonproductive and appar.
emily nonconsuming. Owing to the pc.
itical conditions of the last ~ months
products accumulated during the
blockade. These will be shipped to Ma.
Mia and then the ports will be empty.

The taxpayers of Guilford, Conn.,,
are enjoying some of the blessings Of
the millennium. The town has voted
to levy no tax for the present year.
For several years it has got along
with a ten-mill tax. Now for O
twelvemonth it will get along with
out any. The people of taxridden mu-
inequalities will envy those of Gull
ford, who, for a whole year, will en-
joy immunity from those woes of city
life, the tax assessor and collector.
How it has managed to get rid of
these burdens is not stated, but such
information would lie valuable.

Gen. shafter does not agree with
the view of some military critics that
the day has passed when strong de-

A Humane Move.

congress to amend the existing law
regarding the transportation of stock.
The present law prohibits the carry.
ing of livestock in the ordinary stock
cars more than twenty-eight hours
without unloading the animals and al
lowing them to feed. This law, of
course. does not apply to improved
cars in which the stock are fed and
watered regularly. The law has stood
for twenty years and has met the ap-
proyal of all societies for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals. The
amendment proposes to lengther the
time limit to forty hours, and ctnse-
quently the humane society oh jects
