Operations to crush the Tagal rebel
lion viii h are about to be begun and
prosecuted with extreme energy. are to
be of thoroughly cou prehensive char
acter, the plan of campaign having
been prepared by Gen. M cArthur last
month after council Of officers. The
plan has received the unqualified ap-
proval of the war department, without
material modification. Ii involves eX-
tensive naval cooperation, including
all the regular war hips on the station,
as well as the numerous small gunboats
purchased from the Spaniards, which
are to be distributed in fotillas, each
with larger as flagship. Admiral Re-
mey, in the flagship Brooklyn, has just
returned from China to Manila to as
sumo personal charge of the operations
afoat, which Admiral Kempff, in the
Newark, already at Cavite, has been
mapping out in conjunction with Gen.
Macarthur for several weeks.
The details of the campaign are
closely withheld at the war department
because everything published in this
country is sent by cable to the various
Filipino juntas, especially to that at
Hong Kong, and in some mysterious
manner Aguinaldo is placed in possess
sion of the information in time to make
counter moves Tor his own security.
The military force under Gen. Mac
Arthur, including the troops coming
back from China this week, aggregates
II 900 officers and men, in addition to
and enlisted men. The total strength
ashore and ahoat exceeds that of last
winter by nearly II 600 men.
BERLIN, Nov. l2.-An agreement
has been reached between the powers
articularly regarding the following
questions: The punishment of the
main culprits, the mandarins and
princes; the Witnessing OF the execu-
lion of such punishments by represen-
tatives of the powers; the principle OF
paying damages to the several govern
ments tor the cost of the China eXpe-
dilious and damages sustained by pri-
vate persons and missions; the per-
manent stalionlng OF sufficient guards
for the Pekin legations and mantle
nance of secure and regular commune
cation between Pekin and the sea-
shore. About a number OF other de-
mands put forth by separate powers
negotiations are still pending.
MANILA, Nov. 12.-The results of the
elections in the United States have been
quietly received here. Most of the
Americans aud foreigners are gratiied
at tie reelection of Mr.. Mckinley as in
dicating that there will be no change in
p Jlicy toward the participants. So far
as the Flipiuos are concerned no no.
ticaoie Change in the situation has en-
sued nor is any likely to o-cur IN the
immediate future. They are for the
greater part non communal. News of
the outcome will slowly work its way
through the country to the armed in
surgents, where the assurances of the
leaders that Mr.. Bryan would be elect
ed must first be overcome. Last weeks
scouting resulted III several minor en-
gagements with what the official report
describes as "small casualties namely,
four Americans killed and ten wound
ed.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 - Eugene V.
Debs, the head of the social Demo-
cratic ticket, led the other minor can
didates by total vote OF 5022. John
6. Wool,ey, the prohibition candidate
came second, with vote of 1886. AT
national prohibition headquarters it
was estimated last night that the total
vote in the nation would exceed 400
900. This estimate was based on the
receipt of about 400 kilograms receiv-
ed from % States. This is more than
three times the vote cast for lowering
in 1896. Mr.. Woolley anticipates that
the vote will approach 100000, basing
his claims upon country precincts yet
to report. Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
New York and Pennsylvania are
thought to have polled a prohibition
vote fully four times as large as that of
1896. Illinois is estimated at nearly
three times the vote of 1896 or 81 600.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. Senator
Proctor of the committee on military
affairs and Adjutant General Corbin of
the war department conferred with the
President yesterday relative to the pro-
posed increased Of the regular army.
"Under the existing law" said Sen
ator Proctor at the conclusion OF the
conference, "the present strength CT
the army, $4,000 regulars and $4,000
volunteers, will be reduced on the first
day of next July to ~ 900 regulars.
This is an absurdly small number and
Congress will be asked by the Presi-
dent to reorganize the army upon
larger basis. 1t will be impossible to
keep any troops in the Philippines, I'M
less the army be increased, TO say moth
ing of the garrisons for the forts in
this country. My own judgment is
that Congress will provide a regular
army of about $4,000 or 10000 man
with the discretion to the President
to raise the total to 100000 if he finds
the larger number necessary. | have
no doubt that this legislation will be
enacted at the coming session.

The bill creating forestry commission
introduced by Senator Cudworth Friday, is
said to be the work of an eminent Vermont
julist, who has modelled it very nearly after
the New Hampshire law on the subject
Perhaps the most important part of the bill,
in the opinion of its author, is that which
allows the commission to condemn tracts of
waste land for public parks. The idea. by
condemning such land, is to place it in the
hands of the State where it may be left
alone and in time produce valuable crop
OF timber. If not 80 protected it would be
cut over in a haphazard manner or burnt
over aud continually kept in a condition of
unprOductiveness There are said to be
gentlemen Of means in Windham and pos
sibly in other counties who are prepared to
donate considerable sums for the use OF the
commission in this respect, and already
very much permanent good could ne
wrought. In view f the fact that no APP
preparation is involved, the Legislature
should certainly give the commission a
trial.

summary:
"Of the private bills those which are to
pay somebody 1.-THE sum therein named"
and OF towns asking for certain sum to
expend on highways are placed in one class
under he head of "claims" and include
the sum asked to defray the expenses of
dewey Day." Owing to the amount for
which many OF the individual orders are TO
be drawn being left blank in the printed
copies of the bills it is impossible to ell
how much the total amount to be taken
from the State treasury is, but il would not
fall much below $4,000. This sum is asked
for in 81 bills, each of which has been
printed at State expense, Each bill has TO
be considered separately by at least one
chamber and by both before they can be
allowed. Nearly all of these are settled by
the committee on claims as it is very sci.
dom that either House stops to discuss a
bill that the committee has recommended
fought not TO pass" or question the judg
ment when it says a bill should be paid"
