MacArthur's Estimate of the Filipino
Losses.

Washington, June 5.-Secretary Root
has made answer to the senate resolu-
ton inquiring as to the number of Fill
pinos killed and wounded and the num-
ber of prisoners taken since the inSur-
rection began. Having no detailed in
formation on the subject the secretary
cabied the inquiry to Gen. Macarthur
commanding at Manila. and received
the following response. which was sub
mitted to congress:
Manila, June 4. 1900-Adjutant General,
W aShington:
With reference to your telegram OF
S2d ultimo: F'ilipinos killed 10,7SU;
wounded 2,014; captured and surrender
ed 1924
Number prisoners in our possession,
about 1000. No systematic record Fill
pinos casualties these headquarters.
Foregoing compiled from large number
reports made Immediately after engage
mentS is clese an approximation as now
possible owing to the wide distribution
of troops. More accurate report would
take weeks to prepare. Number report
ed killed probably in excess of accurate
figures; number reported wounded pro-
bably much less as Filipino managed
removed most wounded from field and
comparatively few fell into our hands.
Officers high rank and dangerous sus-
piciOuS men have been retained as Drls-
Oners; most other men discharged on
field as soon as disarmed. Propose to
release all but very few prisoners at an
early date.

new RULES MADE
Governor Stanley Will Avoid
Being Imposed Upon.
Applicants For Conditional Par
dOns Must Answer Questions.
NO LIQUOR DRINKERS.
Total Abstinence a Condition of
Release.
NO LIQUOR DRINKERS.
News Political and Otherwise of
Interest to Kansans.

Governor Stanley, since he has been
imposed upon by one or two men who
sought to avail themselves of his con-
ditional pardon plan, has adopted addi-
tional rules. requiring answers to the
following questions:
First-Age of applicant
Second-Names of parents, if living,
together with address.
Third-Residence of applicant for ten
years preceding conviction.
Fourth-Business for ten years pre-
ceding conviction,
Fffth-Name and residence of last
employer.
sixth-Has applicant ever been under
arrest before; if SO, when and where
and for what offense?
Seventh-Has applicant ever been in
prison before? If so when and where
and for what period?
Eighth-HaS the applicant been in the
habit of using Intoxicating liquors?
If the applicant was addicted to the
use of liquor in any form one of the
conditions which the governor imposes
is that the applicant shall pledge him
self to total abstinence. The slightest
infraction of this provision of the par
don sends the applicant back to the
penitentiary.
The questions concerning the past
history of the convict seeking a condi-
tional pardon must be answered specifi-
cally in each instance. NO generalitieS
are accepted by the governor. If the
questions are answered in an evasive
manner the application goes into the
files. If the applicant exercises due care
and diligence in complying with the
regulations made by the governor the
case is given speedy and careful con-
sideration.
The governor has had numerous let
ters from applicants stating they were
too poor to employ a lawyer to look
after their pardon applications. One OF
these letters, a, characteristic one. came
to the executive office only a few days
ago and the governor replied by say
| ing:
1.-The services of a lawyer are not
necessary, and the case will be given
as careful consideration as possible
1t is not necessary that members of the
family of the applicant be present al
| the hearing because the cases all are
| heard without preiudice''

DISTRICT JUDGE CONTEST.
Lively Contest in the Lyon, Chase and

There is a lively fight in progress

Emporia, Burlington and Cottonwood

Judge J. Jay Buck, of Emporia, is
likely to be the Republican nominee for

Buck has the united support of the Re

delegates to the convention selected in

These counties can control the nomina-

in all portions of the state.
In 1884 Judge Buck was elected to

at that time. While in the legislature

Peavey Grain Company Secures
46 Elevators
Along the Union Pacific Lines
in Kansas.
MORE WILL BE BUILT.
Company Will Entirely Cover
Union Pacific Field.
Expects to Handle Large Portion
of Present Wheat Crop.

Salina. June 5.-A new grain company
has invaded Kansas and is making cal
culationS to handle a large portion of
this years immense wheat crop. 1t is
Peavey Elevator company, which has
its headquarters in Minneapolis, Mimi,
and which handles more grain than any
other company in the world.
Last year the Peavey company secur-
ed control Of a few elevators along the
Union Pacific in Kansas. and since then
it has either built or purchased AZ eleva.-
tors. 1t has also leased four in Saline
county, and is building others. 1t now
completely covers Union Pacific towns
in central and western Kansas.
The name under which the Peavey
company is operating in Kansas is the
Midland Elevator company of Kansas
City. James A. SeaVer. formerly of Sa-
lima, is manager of the company, and a.
w. Wickham is it's superintendent Of
elevators. The Midland company, how
ever, is a part of the Peavey company
There is not q town of any import
ance as a grain center on the Lincoln
branch where the company has not
either built or purchased, or is building,
an elevator with a good capacity. 1t
also has elevators at most of the points
along the main line of the Union Pacific
as far out as there is any grain raised.
In Saline county it has leased the
Eberhardt & Sudendorf elevator at AS
sar1a, the Miller elevator at Mentor, and
the Donmyer elevator at New Cambria.
Just recently it has let the contract for
an elevator with a capacity of 1000
bushels at Trenton.
1t has not and probably will not build
an elevator at Salina for the reason
that it is handling grain over the Union
Pacific only, and if it came into Salina
where there is competition in railroads
1t would divide the grain crop among
the railroads. It covers the Union Pa
/ clfic in the same manner that the H. J.
Light company covers the Santa Fe. ex-
cept that the Light company goes into
all towns, no matter whether there are
| other roads there or not.
The Peavey company last year han
/ died one-tenth of all the grain in the
/ United States. SO it is claimed. The cror
/ last year is estimated at 500 million
bushels, and the Peavy company han
/ died so millions
Owing to the extensive operations ii
/ claims to be able to pay a higher price
/ than smaller companies, and its cornine
/ into this territory will probably result
beneficially to the farmers, if not to the
| other grain men
