sitting. and demanded the enactment OF
certain measures thereby compelling that

Philadelphia to New Jersey. There was no
power to protect even Congress in the dis

ARMY INCREASE.


Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
Proctor, of the senate committee on
military affairs, and Adit. Gen. Cor
bin, of the war department, held an
informal conference with the presi-
dent Saturday relative to legislation
to be asked of congress in connection
with the proposed increase of the reg
ular army. "under the exis 'ng la","
said Senator Proctor, at the conc.d-
sion of the conference, "the present
strength of the army, $1,000 regulars
and $4,000 volunteers, will be reduced
on the 1st day of next July to $4,000
regulars. This is an absurdly small
number, and congress will be asked
by the president to reorganize the
army upon larger basis. 1t will be
impossible to keep any troops in the
Philippines unless the army is in
creased, to say nothing of the garri-
sons for the forts in this country.
My own Judgment is that congress
will provide a regular army of about
$4,000 or 10000 men, with discretion
to the president to raise the total to
100000 If he finds the larger number
necessary"

GEN. M'ARTBUR'S REPORT.



Washington, Nov. 12.-Mai. Gen.
Macarthur, commanding the army in
the Philippines and military govern
or of the islands since May 5, 1909,
has submitted his report to the war
department He refers to the change
in Aguinaldo's plans in abandoning
his organization and starting guer-
rlla warfare. The conditions of the
country have afforded advantages for
such policy, he says, as they have
enabled the insurgents to appear and
disappear at their convenience. At
one time they are soldiers and imme-
diately after are within the American
lines in the attitude of peaceful ma
tiyes. A widely scattered formation
of Filipinos quickly followed the
guerrilla warfare which led to a cor
responding dissemination of Ameri-
can troops, there being 50 military
stations in the archipelago Novem-
Der /, 1899, and 4l3 stations Septem-
Der /, 1900. This resulted in a large
number of minor affairs, many OF
which did not assume the dignity Of
a regular combat, though the casual
ties between the dates stated were 26s
Americans killed, $50 wounded and So
captured; Filipino losses during the
same time being 1927 killed, 694
wounded and 1854 captured.
The effort to institute municipal
government under American auspices
met with difficulties and secret mu-
nicipal governments were organized
in various towns under insurgent aus
pieces to proceed simultaneously with
the American governments and often
through the same personnel. Presi-
dents and town officials acted openly
in behalf of Americans, and secretly
in behalf of the insurgents, and par
adoxical as it may seem, with consid-
cradle apparent solicitude for the in
terests of BOTH
Gen. Macarthur quotes captured
correspondence to show the efforts Of
the insurgent leaders to intimidate
and control the people. He declares
that the guerrilla bands could not ex-
ist except for the support they re-
ceived from the towns. He says that
the education of the Filipinos will
tend to secure their submission, but
indicates that this will take a great
deal of time and patience and an ade-
quate force.
In closing his report, Gen. MacAr-
thur, after speaking of the establish
ment of a republican form of govern
ment in the islands, says: "ln the
light of existing conditions, it is diff
ficult to realize that there is any pos
sibility of such future for the is
lands, especially so as at present and
for many years to come the necessity
of large American military and
naval force is too apparent to admit
OF discussion"

the international court-martial as

and their heads were exposed on poles

Increasing alarm is felt here at the
spread of the insurrection in the
southern provinces. No surprise will
lie caused If Japan intervenes. The

Chicago, Nov. 12.-May Teresa Jo-
sephne Schmidt shot and almost in
stantly killed her husband, Peter, late
last night at their home, 1898 North
Marshfeld avenue. After the shoot
ing, which occurred in the parlor of
the house, Schmidt staggered out
through the front door and fell dead
in the yard. Mrs. Schmidt made no
attempt to escape. She admitted the
shooting, but declared her husband
had driven her to desperation by his
acts. For some time, the woman de-
cares, she had been neglected by her
husband, who was drinking heavily
and paying attention to other women.
When he entered his home late last
night, his wife declares, he was in
toxicated and she upbraided him for
his acts. A quarrel and the shooting
followed.

THE IRRIGATION QUESTION.


Denver, Col, Nov. 1.-THE Denver
chamber of commerce has called a
mass meeting of business men for to-
day for the purpose of considering
the irrigation storage question. The
National Irrigation congress is to
meet in Chicago on November 81, and
the question of securing government
aid in building storage reservoirs in
the west is to come up, The last
session of congress appropriated $780,
900 to make surveys and number of
plans will be ready when congress
meets in December. The west is in
favor of going to congress with a
request for an appropriation of $751;
100000 as starter and Denver will
try to send big delegation to Chi
cago to boom this idea. The idea Is
to have the government conserve the
waters near the heads of streams and
leave the distribution to private cap
ital. The engineers claim that an
expenditure of S1;O,00o,0Oo will not
only provide water for retaining all
the irrgable land in the west, fur
nish homes for at least 100000 more
people, but will put an end to disas-
trous spring floods that devastate the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys every
year and will render unnecessary the
expenditure of large sums annually
by the government building levees.
The movement is to be movement
of business men in the interest of
building up the west and making
homes for larger population.
