SENATOR KENNEY STlRS
UP THE U. S. SENATE
BY Launching Some Questions That
Will Give the Public
Inside Facts.

Washington, May Ex-senator Ken
ney, of Delaware, created a stir in the
Senate yesterday by launching a series
of questions asking for the exhaustive
array of facts as to the status of the
Philippine war. Mr.. Kenney brought
the matter before the Senate by pre-
senting a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of War for information upon
the condition of military affairs in the
Philippines.
The Senator from Delaware said the
call is based on the "official statement
that the insurrection in the Philippines
has been successfully suppressed, and
that preparations are being made to
return the troops now serving in the
islands to the United States"
The points upon which Senator Ken
ney requests information are as fol-
lows:
F,irst-The Territory over which the
military operations in the Philippines
extended from September 1, 1899, to
April /, 1900.
Second-The places in which garri-
sons were established during the perc
from September /, 1899, to April I,
1900.
Third-The places occupied as garri-
sons by American troops ON April 1,
1900.
Fourth-The number of officers and
enlisted men in active service in the
Philippines on April 1, 1900.
Fifth-The number of deaths in the
army in the Philippines from all causes
from September 1, 1898, to April l, 1900
Sixth-The number of wounded oil
sick soldiers in the hospitals and sol
diers disabled or incapacitated for SER
vice in the Philippines ON April 1, 1900
Seventh-The number of enlisted
men discharged from the service in the
Philippines for any causes since Sep
tember 1, 1900.
iEighth-The number of additional
enlisted men sent to the Philippines
since July 1, 1899, to recruit regiments
stationed in the archipelago.
Ninth-The number of American
soldiers who have become insane since
the occupation of the islands and what
disposition has been made for their
treatment
Tenth-The number of American sol
diers belonging to the army in THE
Philippines who have committed sui
eide since the occupation of the islands

Rev. Alexander Jeffries, father of the

justification for prize fighting.

against the other" said Rev. Mr.. JEFF
fries. zone was the son of light, the
Lord of Hosts, and the other was the
son of darkness, the Prince of the Bot
tomless Pit. One was opposed to the
other and they fought and the best
son won"
"Then Adam had two sons ,and they
fought" continued Mr.. Jeffries. "And
there was Abraham, who had two sons.
One of them was against the other.
"Then you are not opposed to your
sons career in the ring "

THE BEAUTIES OF DAKOTA.
But a Delawarean Returning From
the Far West Will Not Exchange
With Any Westener.

A. H. Cahall of Hickman, Kent
county, returned home last Monday
from business trip to North Dakota
Mr.. Cahall left home ON April 10, and
left Bismarck, N. D., ON May 10. In an
interview with your correspondent Mr..
Cahall said that he had pleasant trip
with health good. Being asked what he
thought of Dakota he replied that it
was wonderful country, fine wheat
and grass lands, and great cattle
country the only drawback being the
lack of rain He made the statement
that there was land there that had not
been wet since the flood, except on the
surface, by the spring freshets. He
stated that if we had the geological
status of Dakota with our present ad-
vantages our State would be a farmers
paradise, or if they had the moisture
we had it would be the same there.
Speaking of grass, he said that at the
sale of his brothers personal property
(Mr. Cahall went west to settle the
estate of William E. Cahall his brother
who died February 13, 1900), "a tons
of timothy hay sold for s24, or 81 per
ton, and that the whole country was
checkered with hay stacks. He Thought
one lack of great success with the peo-
pie there was not producing a great
variety of products, that the majority
of farmers bought all their meat, but
ter, etc., in town, articles that they
could produce cheaper than they could
buy, depending entirely ON stock and
wheat. The weather for the time he
was there averaged warmer than lit
did here. Mr.. Cahall took care to leave
the impression with us that for no
consideration would he exchange his
home in Delaware for one in the west

OPERA HOUSE

Citizens Want 1t and Set About

COMMUTE PREPARING ESTIMATES
Will Call Another Meeting for Next
Monday Night to Report to the
Citizens on Their
Work.

The movement for a new Opera
House and public auditorium for Dover
has now been placed directly in the
hands of the people, and the people
have signified their intense desire for
such modern hall by appointing a
committee of five to at once devise
ways and means for action with this
end in view.
At the public meeting last Friday
night, Caleb S. Pennewill was called to
the chair and A. r. Benson was select
ed as secretary.
There were several plans suggested
to the meeting, one to have the pro-
posed building ON Loockerman street
where festivals and fairs might be held
profitably, particularly on Saturday
nights. Another idea was to erect a
building adequate for these purposes
ON State or King streets. Members OF
he Century Club expressed the opinion
that their club might be willing to CO.

TO WIN BY APPOINTMENT.
Latest Scheme to Land Mr.. Addicks
in the Senate.

The manager of the Call spends
many evening hours in DIVER. The
very air down there is impregnated
with politics. And fellow can't help
but inhale it even ON the street. The
other night the Call man aec:dently
listened to the unfolding OF a brilliant
Addicks scheme The latest out. 1t
was plan by which the Kddicks men
were to put up strong Addicks man
who could be worked" for Governor.
They are to give the Regulars the
Lieutenant Governor, the State Treas
urer and Auditor, the Congressman
and any old State office they want ex-
cept the Governor. This it is hoped
will ring the Regular support in on the
State ticket. They are also to help
the Regulars in Wilmington, and this
again it is hoped will clinch things.
Having got the Governor in nominal
tion and having roped the Regulars in
for their support, the Addicks men are
again to deadlock the Legislature on
the Senatorship. Then just before ad-
journment they are to begin voting for
two candidates other than Addicks.
One of them is to be an out and out
Regular and the other is to be a very
conservative or better class Addicks
man. This bait the Regulars are sup
posed Ito swallow and elect these two
men. Then comes the springing of the
trap. AS soon as the Legislature shall
have adjourned the conservative or bet
ter class Addicks man is to resign and
the Addicks Governor is to appoint
John Edward Addicks to fill his place.
This will be a legitimate vacancy-and
Addicks aIttains the ambition of his
life, ,hoodwinks the Regulars and every
thing is lovely.-Smyrna Call of yes

I. o. Cu1breth Elected

There was much interest centered in
the annual election of teachers for
Dover High School and the other de-
partments of the public schools before
the Board of Education last might
There had been movement on foot
to supersede some of the instructors
and a contest was expected when
President George M. Jones called for
the election to be proceeded with, but
the Board unexpectedly acted almost
unanimously, there being but two votes
against the majority.
Professor James E. Carroll was re-
elected as superintendent. For twenty
years Professor Carroll has served in
this capacity and is believed to have
held the Dover schools up to as high
a degree of efficiency as any other Del
aware town. When Mr. Carroll came
here at the solicitation of the Board in
1880, Charles Brown, who was really
the father of the public school system
of Dover, was the president of the
Board. Since then Messrs. Edward
Ridgely, N. B. Smithers and George
NJ. Jones have served respectively as
president. Postmaster Casson is the
only member of the Board who served
as member in 1900, and has continu-
ously since then occupied a seat there
Miss Roberta Hobbs, formerly of

THIS MAN DRESSED
In W0MEN'S ATTIRE.
Knew No Other Apparel and When
Placed in Prison Clothes Was
Ashamed of the Pants.

Chestertown, Md, May 21.-Silas
Saul, alias Mary Davis, was taken to
the House of Correction from Kent LAST
week. He or she, as the case may be,
had insisted upon being woman,
while the Kent county officials had in
sisted that he or she was man, and
ordered that he or she don mste ap-
parel.
When the prisoner was entered at
the House of Correction, the perplex-
ing question reached a climax.
All went along we'll until Superin-
tendent King happened to see the new
arrival. He at once called to the fe-
male assistant. and said that woman
is a man" To this the prisoner an
swered: Il am neither man nor wom-
am
The matron, in the meantime, had
taken good look at Saul, and she be-
been made in defining the prisoners

the prisoner, who asserted that she
was Mary Davis, and not a man. The

apparel for prison garb. Steward
Hagadorn, in whose custody she was
placed, insisted that the matron should
Superintendent King, however, ordered
him to proceed to the clothes room
with the prisoner.
When the prisoner had donned the
prison apparel the steward found thu
he or she had taken off tailor-ma6e
gown, a corset cover, a pair of corsets.
five underskirts, pair of fancy female
hose and other female garments.
When questioned by the guard the
prisoner told the following story:
''I don't know exactly how old am.
was born in West Virginia. When
small child I was attired in female
clothing by my people, and in Wash
ington and in various places l have
served many prominentfamiliesa cook
and house servant. All during these
years have associated with women,
with the exception of times when I
have had steady company with gentle
men. / have never worn male attire,
and really l am ashamed at myself
when l look down and see these trous-
ers. No one has ever questioned my
sex during all these years and I have
always been considered woman. I
am a first-class washer and ironer, and
have always been hired out as a maid
and nurse"
The prisoner then held out both
hands and said: do these hands look
like they ever worked in a harvest
field?" and added IT think it is a shame
that I have been treated this way for
wearing women's clothes. don't
know any other kind, ais have worn
them for SO many years. I always
have my dresses made for me at the
dressmaker's, and at my nome In
Chestertown / have hats to match my
gowns" /"
While the prisoner was making this
statement he or she stood with eyes
downcast and told the story with a well
modulated voice, and with evident en-
barrassment. The prisoner stated thar
the trouble was due to envious people
of his or her own race in Kent county.
He or she seemed particularly affected
when they cut his or her hair off. The
long tresses were wrapped and braided
about the head in neat plait, resemp-
ling an old time water fall. 1t
