Washington. Feb. 22.-According to
information received at the war de-
partment from Manila with the end
of the present expedition of Gen.
Bates into the two provinces at the
extreme southern part of the island
OF Luzon, military operations in the
Philippines will close. A1terward, it

undertake to maintain order through
a police system. Attention is now be-

are being taken to form a thoroughly

OLD PIPE OF PEACE.
Recently Exhumcd on the Battle
field Of Pittsburgh Landing.
Throws Light on Prehistoric Mound
Duilaers-Eelicf That the Crude
Work of Art IL Less Than
Six Centuries Old.

Recent excavations on the field of
the battle of Pittsburgh Landing have
brought to light many interesting rel
les of the mound builders. Col. Cadle,
the well-llnown G. \. Il. and Loyal lie
gion man, who is member of the Shi-
lob commission, is an ardent antigua
rian and geologist, and in the course
of the work of leveling the battle
ground into the proportions of ma
tional public park, has lost no oppor-
tunity of delving into the mounds, of
which there are number on the
ground. The relics exhumed are sent
to the Smithsonian institution to be
carefully photographed and recorded.
1t is for this reason, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, that by far the most
valuable and interesting piece of work
that has come out of an American
mound in several decades was seen by
only few Cincinnatians. Col Cadle
1ectured before the Cincinnati Natural
History society the other evening on
''The Work Of the Mound Builders on
Shiloh Battietields." The lecture was
particularly opportune, as the COM
mission had cNhumed on the day before
the little statue, of which a good pho
tograph is shown. Col. Gable was on
his way to Washington with the piece,
which he considers the greatest find
of the age.
The statue is nine inches long and

the pipes of the Indians were always

HERO OF THE HOUR.
Gen. French, the Man Who Raised
the Siege of Kimberley.
His Mental Cnliber Was Always Con-
adhered High by His Comrades,
But Personally He ]. Not
COnsidered Attractive.

Maj. Gen. John d. P. French, who
led the relief force into Kimberley, is
4s years old and first became prominent
in the Nile expedition of 1854. At the
opening of the Boer war he was desig-
mated commander of the cavalry in
South Africa, but in the rearrange-
ment of campaigns and the scattering
of the cavalry he was given other du-
ties. Sir George White gave him the
command at the battle Of Elandslaagte,
which he Won. Later he Won the fight
at Colesburg. His escape from Lady

The town was made in train that was
riddled with Boer bullets, French and
others on board being compelled to
get under the seats to escape.
Following is an estimate of Gen.
French by Maj. Arthur Csit1iths, of
the British army, printed in the Lon
don Daily Mail six weeks ago:
French has always been esteemed
by those who pretend to have an in
sight into character as one of the best
OF all. His sodicrly aptitudes and his
sound qualifications for the military
service were noted almost from the
first.
For a long time he was no more
than regimental adjutant, first with
his own people, the Nineteenth hussars,
and next with a yeomanry corps. lie

he served under. 1t was greatly to
his advantage that his lot was cast
with one of the best cavalry regiments

Mr. Schwab's objection to college
men in business is based on his opin-
ion that they are not practical; that
they are too fond of society; that
they try to combine work and pleas

During the entire siege Cecil Rhodes,

Just as the forester can approximate
the age OF Il tree by the rings in the
bole, and the horse doctor can tell the
years of horse by the layers of his
teeth, so the geologist can approx
mate the age of cliff, a sliding or a
mound by the action Of the elements
on the rocks or the size of channel
made by the tiny rivulet. Col Cadle
stoutly maintains that the mound
from which this statue was taken cam
not have been more than 600 years old.
1t was so situated that in the fall and
spring, in the time of heavy rains, the
overflow from an adjacent Hill cut lit
tie canals across it. These, he esti-
mates, have been made in the last 600
years, proving that the mound was
made at that time. The theory that the
American Indian. as we know him,
could have nothing to do with the
mounds, is partially sustained by the
fact that their traditions always as
.cribe the mounds to prehistoric race
Yet this prehistoric race, if prehis-
toric it was, must have known
the use of tobacco and have been ac-
'customed to smoke the pipe of peace
since the statue was evidently made
to be set in the midst of circle and
smoked from a stem with many
branches. No one living man, with or
binary lungs, could have drawn a
pipe of this character.
