THE PHILADELPHIA Ledger, an Independent
newspaper, speaking of the Republican party,
says: 1.-THE party is justly congratulated upon
the faithful execution of the commission given
10 it at the last Presidential election to protect
the gold standard by legislative action, and at
tention is called to the potent fact that Ameri-
can credit has been strengthened that capital
is actively employed, and that the value of the
exports of the country under this administra-
ton have exceeded the value of the imports to
an extent nearly fourfold greater than exports
exceed imports during the whole of the century
preceding 1917
THE BOARD of County Commissioners of
Wichita county, Kan. has just abolished the
poor house, there being no more paupers in
the county One old soldier is the only de-
pendent person in the county, and he is being
cared for by popular subscription, hence the
county may be said to be pauperless. Ten
years ago there were over five hundred paupers
in Wichita county, but the crops have been SO
large since that every body has made plenty of
money. No tramps are allowed to remain
idle in the county. They must work or leave.

HOLLAND BOAT BOUGHT.
Navy Pays 100000 For the Sub
marine Wonder and May Build
More

Washington, April 9.-The navy depart
ment has bought the submarine torpedo
boat Holland for $4,000 and will ask au-
thority from congress to obtain from
eight to ten additional boats of the same
type. The present purchase is made I'M
der the last naval appropriation bill,
which carried $S20000 for two submarine
torpedo boats.
For the last three years the utility Of
the Holland boat has been a subject of
controversy in the navy department. The
various boards appointed to make inves-
LEGATIONS have reported favorably. Ad-
miral Hichborn, chief of the construction
bureau, has from the outset maintained
that the boat was success. Adverse in
fuence, however, prevented the purchase.
1t was not until the war department Of
f1cials determined to take up the Holland
boat and make it part of the sea-coast
and harbor defense that the navy depart
ment people were spurred to favorable ac-
ton.
Admiral Dewey has frequently spoken
favorably of the Holland and has said
that if two or three of these boats had
been in Manila Bay his entrance might
have been prevented, and that every har-
Dor in the United States should have two
or three of them.

MRS. DEwEY's STATEMENT.
Says She Tried to Keep the Admiral
Out of Politics.

Washington, April with the con-
sent of the Admiral, Mrs. Dewey has
made this formal statement with the
view to offset the impression that she
is responsible for her husband becom-
ing a presidential candidate:
"A correspondent said 1 am respon-
sible for my husband becoming a pres
identia1 candidate So far from this
being the case, 1 attempted to persuade
him from his course, realizing the grave
anxieties and responsibilities surround
ing a candidate"
Mrs. Dewey said that she and the
Admiral would go their country place,
Beauvoir, today, and remain there as
quietly as possible until their western
trip. They expect to go to some north
ern watering place later in the summer,
but their headquarters will be at their
country home here until midsummer.
Mr.. Chartran, an artist of New York.
will come to this city this week to paint
the portraits of Admiral and Mrs
Dewey.
1t is Admiral Deweys purpose to
make his future statements to the pub
lie through the medium of conmunica-
lions either to his personal political ad-
visers or as addresses to the public,
and to authorize publication through all
newspaper channels at the same time.
He also intends to make these state
ments few and far between.
Admiral Dewey stated today that he
probably would not make more than
one official statement, IN winch ne VIII
briefly out emphatically define his at
titude on all of the leading national
questions. When he will make this
statement he does not himself know.
He said he desired to consult with some
of his advisers, but his mind was al
ready made up as to the kind of plat
form upon which he desired to run
He is still earnest in his belief that
it is the people and not the politicians
who want him nominated, and that his
nomination at the Kansas City conven-
ton is possible. There is no doubt that
the Admiral will so express himself
in regard to the new possessions as to
please the -expansionists and the
advocates of free trade with Porto Rico.
He will favor ultimate independence
for the Philippines under an American
protectorate. the United States main
tanning control of sufficient territory for
a naval base, and free trade and fair
treatment for Porto Rico.

HE CAUGHT THE TRAIN.
Rev. Frank h. Allen Successful In
New Mexico.

The Ell Paso Herald prints the follow
ing about Rev. Frank H. Allen of AL
buquerque, who win be Rev. G. M Shell
don's substitute in Topeka during the
time he is in Europe:
"On last Tuesday, passenger down
on the White Oaks to FL Paso was Rev.
Frank H. Allen, pastor of the Congre-
gational church at Albuquerque. He
had received an intimatiOn of a call
from Topeka, Kan, and in some man
ner its acceptance depended on his
making the Santa. Fe connection in Ell
Paso, and reaching Albuquerque by the
next morning.
1.-THE White Oaks train had been de-
layed from various causes, and there
was prospect of the connection being
missed He told his troubles to Con
ductor Joe Graham, and that genial Of
fetal in turn conferred with William Oil
yer, the man at the throttle The re-
suit was a quick run into Ell Paso which
brought the connection in all right; and
today the boys received from the rever-
end gentleman warm letter of thanks,
saying that their efforts had put him
there on time, and had made it possible
for him to accept the call to Kansas.

WANTS HALF A MILLION.
Appeal For Funds For Jewish College
at Cincinnati.

Chicago. April 9.-In his address at
the memorial services held in memory
of the late DR.. Isaac NJ Wise at Isaiah
temple last night, DR.. Emil G. Hirsch
made an appeal to the Jewish people of
Chicago to raise 100000, which is the
amount yet required to lift the debt on
the Jewish Union college in Cincinnati.
By 50 doing, said DR.. fIirsch, the great
work which was begun by DR.. Wise
and carried forward by him under diff
f1culties could be fully accomplished.
Incidentally to the appeal for funds,
DR.. Hirsch limited that this college, the
leading Jewish educational institution
in America, might be removed to this
city and become affiliated with the
University of Chicago.
who knows but the college may
gravitate this way and become associ-
ated with the great university of this
city, he said. Even if it should not
do so, it is our duty to assist the in
stitution. for it is the basis of educa-
ton of Jewish theologians in this coun-
try"
This remark. coming as it does from
one of the leading promoters Of Jewish
education in America and the present
occupant of chair at the University
of Chicago, struck the audience as be-
ing very significant.

AGUINALDO LOST.
Many Believe He is Hiding in
Manila.

New York, April "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says: In
the mail from Manila which has just ar
rived at the war department there were
at least two communications expressing
conviction that AguinaIdo is hiding in
that city. One of these letters is from
a United States secret service official,
who had found conclusive evidence that
the TagaI leader had been in Manila
since the rebel armies in Luzon were
dispersed and who was satisfied that ne
had not escaped by water and was still
concealed in the native part of the town.
The other letter was from an army Of
hcer attached to headquarters, who
voiced the opinion of all the higher mil
itary authorities that Aguinaldo was
certainly not in any of the outlying dis
tricts on the island of Luzon, for Amer
lean troops had too thoroughly overrun
the entire country for the rebel chief to
escape detection, especially as in every
province there were enough enemies of
Aguinaldo to have betrayed him to the
soldiers had his presence made it pos
Sible. Other officers recently returned
from the Philippines confirm the impress
sion that Aguinaldo would naturally
seek safety in the Tagal quarter at
Manila, where he would probably find
greater seclusion and security than in
pecially as it is not frequented by
American troops or natives who sympa-
thize with the American rule, AguinaldO
/ is said to be devoted to his wife and
| children, who have been living in Man
/ lila for several months, and it is incon-
/ ceivable to those who know him that he
| has not made frequent visits to mis-
/ family. 1t is said that on account of
/ his physical appearance and with mis-
ingenuity he would incur little or no
! chance of detection if he assumed the
guise of a native pedlar or ordinary
workman.
General Otis is said to have no doubt
that AguinaldO has not been out OF
1 Manila since the first of this year, but
he had refused to offer any reward fo1
his apprehension, though the secret ser
vice men have every assurance that be-
| trayal by natives would speedily follow
the offer. Every army officer who has
| been in the Philippines frankly declares
| that it has always been the ambition OF
every A American in the service to capture
Aguinaldo. The best work of officers
and men has always been with the MAR
end in view of bringing in the elusive
little leader 1t is well known that Gen
Otis expected his capture last fall il
northern Luzon and had arranged tC
send him to the United States. 1t i!
said that General Otis has since changed
his mind about the desira ability of send
ing him away from the island, and be-
lieves it best not to be embarrassed by
having him on his hands, as some eie
mentS would be dissatisfied if he werI
not executed and others would revolt
he should not have the fullest liberty.

INCIDENT Is CLOSED.
DR.. Hills Declines to Meet the Chi
cago Church Committee.

New York. April 9-There will be no
conference at Buffalo between Rev. DR..
Newell Dwight Hills. whose letter of
demission from the Presbyterian minis
try was presented to the Chicago pres
bytery last Monday. and the commStee
from that body which was appointed
for the purpose of considering the lX-ter
of resignation. This, it is believed, is
due in part to the attitude of the mem
bers of Plymouth church, who do not
wish their pastor to have any theologi
cal relations or discussions with the
Chicago presbytery, and to the realiza
ton on the part of the committee that
DR.. Hills determination to insist upon
the acceptance of his resignation would
make futile a conference such as was
proposed. DIR. Hills is exceedingly SEN
sitive upon the subject, and refuses to
discuss it.

WORST HAS NOT COME
Mary Letter CurzOn Cables Chi
cagO For Help For India.

Chicago, April 9.-Chicago's Indian
famine committee has decided to open
its offices again for the receipt of funds.
The published statements of Lord Cur
zon, the viceroy of India, of the condi-
lions which exist has led to the deci-
sion, and in response to letter of in
formation Lady Curzon, formerly Miss
Mary Letter, of Chicago, cabled the
committee the following message from
Umballa, India, under date of April 8,
1900:
MY husband and I will be rejoiced
to receive any help that Chicago may
be willing to give toward our terrible
Indian famine The government is re-
lieving nearly 5000, 900 persons, and the
worst has not yet come. We can guar
antee that every dollar subscribed will
go to the relief of genuine human suf-
fering MARY CURZON."

Lieutenant.

time there are rs vacancies in the
grade of second lieutenant in the army
OF these 68 are in the infantry arm, IA

filed by this years graduates from the
West Point military academy, and half
the remainder through the customary
examinations of non-commissioned Of
