are chiefly concerning certain 30 called

of our exchanges are full of warnings
to farmers not to insure unless person

MAKING A STILL HUNT.


Washington, April 10.--The war de-
partment is making still hunt for
Aguinaldo. The department, how
ever, has not money enough at the
command of its secret service to lay
hands on the cunning head of the
Filipino rebellion. So elusive has
Aguinaldo been that one of the war
department officials said that II would
not be very surprising if Aguinaldo
should be discovered one Of these fine
mornings in silk hat and other
things to match parading the streets
of London or Paris. The war depart
ment officials affected some time ago
the opinion that it would be rather
an embarrassment of riches to catch
Aguinaldo. If he disappeared forever,
they said, it would be good riddance.
There is, however, some talk now to
the effect that the insurrection may
break out afresh with troublesome
vigor after the next rainy season, and
that it would be the best possible
thing to have Aguinaldo in close con-
fnement.

Washington, April 1.-THE senate
committee on privileges and cleo
tions Tuesday decided unanimously
in favor of unseating Senator
Clark, of Montana. The report is for
declaring the seat of Senator Clark
vacant and not to eXpel.
The decision was reached after q
two hours sitting, at which all the
members of the committee were press
ent except one. The absentee was
Senator Gallery, Of Louisiana, and he
wired his vote in opposition to Mr..
Clark The ballot was not taken un-
til all the members present had ex-
pressed themselves upon the question:
some of them speaking at some length
and all expressing different shades Of
opinion.
The concensus of opinion Of the
committee appeared unfovorable to
accepting any one special feature
against Mr.. Clark as the basis for
the report against him, the general
opinion being that it was the cumula-
tive character of the testimony that
should be considered rather than any
one especial detail,
Senator Harris, Of Kansas, indi"
Gated the most pronounced leaning
toward leniency for Mr.. Clark. He
did not express any doubt that there
had been lavish expenditure OF
money in Mr.. Clark's behalf, and while
not condoning this course he spoke
in terms of strong condemnation of
the tactics pursued by some of his
(Cl0rk's) opponents, referring es-
pecinlly to Congressman Campbell
and ex-State Senator Whiteside. He
said that whatever Mr.. Clark's Of
fenses they were but little worse than
the methods pursued by Campbell
and Whiteside in their efforts to ex-
pose the senator and he insisted that
If the report was to be nntagonistic
to Mr. Clark 1t should at the same
time relate in full the course
pursued by the two principal wit
nesses against him.

GEN. FUNSTON AGAIN.


Manila, April 1O.-An interesting
topic OF. conversation in army circles
is the investigation of Brig. Gen. Fred
erick Funston's execution of two Eli
pinos and the possibility of a court
martial resulting therefrom. The
story is that the Filipinos captured
three Maccabebe scouts who were
crossing the country near San lsidro
and were preparing to kill them
when one of the Macabebes escaped
and found Gen, Funston with scout
ing party near. This man guided the
Americans to the rescue Of his com
panions, and when the troops ap-
preached the Filipinos fled, leaving the
Maccnbebes. Several of the Filipinos
were shot and Gen, Funston captured
two of them, took them to the village
square and hanged them without a
trial as warning to the Filipinos.

tagonizes the eX-chaplain of volun-
