RENoYATING THE FORCES.

Troops Who Have Seen Long Service in
the Philippines to Be Replaced.
WASHINGTON, March 10. = The war
department. has taken the initial steps
toward renovating the military forces
in the Philippines by returning in small
detachments the troops who have seen
longest service there and replacing
them by recruits raised IN this country.
The movement began last week when
instructions were sent to General Otis
to pick out a battalion from each of the
regiments which had been longest in
the Philippines, namely, the Four
teenth, Eighteenth and Twenty third
infantry and return them to the United
States. The men picked up for return

Mr.. Sovereign Continues His Testimony.
Basis For Another Investigation.
8 WAsMEGToB, March 1O. The cross
examination oi James r. Sovereign was
continued in the Occur d A1ene investi-
CATION before the house committee on
military affairs. Representative Dick
took the witness over his statements re-
garding martial law and the course Of
the war depar rtment, with a view to
showing that it was the state anthori.
ties and not the federal government who
declared and enforced martial law. Mr..
Sovereign said that5a reading Of the
official kilograms informed him that the
war department declared martial law,
as the military telegr ante-dated the
governors proclamation by one day.
When asked If the military were there
for any other purpose than to maintain
peace and order, the witness stated that
he believed this was not their purpose,
as their presence tended to terrorize the
people, substituting military dictation
for the usual civil methods. No one
ever heard Of martial law before in
labor troubles, Mr.. Sovereign declared.
Basis for Another Investigation.
As to his approval Of the nse Of mill.
tary at the Chicago strike, he said this
was limited to the use of military fol
police purposes in maintaining order.
Mr.. Sovereign stated that he understood
the Bunker Hill mine was owned by the
Standard Oil company, but this had
been denied in the testimony before the
industrial commission, although the
witness believed from kilograms devel
oped il this case that this ownership
existed. NJ RI
He was also questioned as to the in
5fuence Of certain lead interests in the
Occur A1ene district. In that connee-
tion he said a mine official had told him
several Of the lead interests had sought
to combine on $50, 900, 900 capitaiiza-
ton, but the New York capitalists
would not consider the matter unless
the capita lization was SITS, ,OOO, 900.
Representative Sulzer remarked that

WASHINGTON, March 10. The senate
committee On foreign relations have
agreed to report the Hay Panncefote
treaty amending the Clay ton -BulWer
treaty with an amen ndment granting
authority for the defense of the canal
by this country when cons cted.
The foreign relations committee was.
practically nnanimo monsly ID favor Of the
amendm ment to the treaty Some objec-
ton was made BY Senator Morgan Of
abaIna, but he viii not oppose the
measure in the senate, accepting the
change in order to hasten the action off off
the senate. Qnite am elaborate report
has been prepared BY Mr.. Morgan which
will be submitted to the senate IN exec
utiye session when the treaty is re-
ported. It is the opinion of the mem
bers of the committee that the senate
viii, with but little delay, ratify the
treaty as amended.
The amendment is brief. 1t simpIY
provides that the restrriic ctions III the
treaty shall not operate to prevent the
United States from using its own forces
for the defense Of the interests Of the

GIYRs UP III E FIGHT.
State Of Minnesota Will Not Appeal thu
Swamp Land Grant Cases.

State of Minnesota viii Not Appeal the
Swamp Land Grant Cases.
Z ST.. PAUL, March 10 Further litiga-
ton in the Duluth aud Iron Range
swamp land grant will be dropped BY
the state, and State Auditor Dunn will,
within so days, select several hundred
thousand acres Of swamp land still due
the railroad company under the pro.
visions of the grant of March 8, 1875.
This decision was reached by the gov
sernor and state auditor, who decided
this course as altogether the most prac-
ticable, and, as d matter Of fact, about
the only thing to do, as Judge Lochren
of the federal court recently sustained
the claim Of the railroad company and
it was hardly believed that the United
States supreme court would reverse the
decision.
In addition to the Duluth aud Iron
Range grant, the state will as speedily
as possible close up its accountswith
other railroad companies for. swamp
lands. The Iron Range grant is the
only one of Importance, and it involves
"a very large amount Of valuable pine
and mineral land.
The state, however, holds the right to
make the selections. Mr.. Dunn has for
some time been collecting accurate
minutes All Of all the state swamp land in
Cook, Lake and st. Louis counties. In
making m the allotment Of between 400, &
900 and 800, 1000 acres the state viii see
that the railroad company gets just
what the grant calls for, !. swamp land. 4
j, on the other hand, the company was
allowed to select the land, perhaps So
fine q distinction would not be made.
However, the Iron Range road viii re-
Sceive some very valuable land, much Of
it that may develop great value. az 1.a

LONDON, March 10. $40 p. M Late
! IN the afternoon il is learned that the

that PRESIDENT Kruger has appealed tc
Lord Salisbury for a cessation Of hostil-
tiles, Offering at length, BY cable, the
terms which he is willing to accept.

as they include practically nothing more
than what the Transvaal government

may be glossy and beautiful, touch it
not, lest you pull forth your soul torn

leopard. But" you say, how can
find out whether book is good or bad
without reading it?' There is always
something suspicious about bad book.
1 never knew an exception-something
suspicious in the index or style of IL
lustration. This venomous reptile al
ways carries a warning rattle.
Again. l charge you to stand OF
from all those books which corrupt the
Imagination and infiame the passions.
| do not refer now to that kind of book
which the villain has under his coat
waiting for the school to get out, and,
then looking both ways to see that
there is no policeman around the block

home. l do not speak of that kind Of
literature, but that which evades the
law and comes out in polished style,
and with acute plot sounds the tocsin
that rouses up all the baser passions
of the soul. Today, under the nostrils
of the people, there is fetid, reek-
ing, unwashed literature. enough to
poison all the fountains Of public vir-
tue and smite your sons and daughters
as with the wing Of destroying an
gel, and it is time that the ministers
Of the gospel blew the trumpet and
rallied the forces of righteousness, all
armed to this great battle against a
depraved literature.
Cherish Good Books.
Cherish good books and newspapers.
Beware OF bad ones. The assassin Of
Lord Russell declared that he was led
into crime by. reading one vivid ro-
nance. The consecrated John Angel
James, than whom England never pro-
duced better man, declared in his
old age that he had never yet got over
the evil effects of having for fifteen
minutes once read bad book. But

for an honorable profession, but he

startled with what l saw there, and I
handed the book back to him and said.
You had better destroy that book. "
No, he kept it. He read it. He reread
it. After awhile he gave up religion as
myth. He gave up God as a nom
entity. He gave up the Bible as a
fable. He gave up the church Of Christ
as a useless institution. He gave up
good morals as being unnecessarily
stringent. l have heard of him but
twice in many years. The time before
the last I heard of him he was a con-
firmed inebriate. The last l heard of
him he was coming out Of an insane
asylum-in body mind and soul an aw-
full wreck. l believe that one infidel
book killed him for two worlds.
Go home today and look through
your library, and then, having looked
through your library look on the stand
where you keep your pictorials and
newspapers and apply the Christian
principles l have laid down this hour.
If there is anything in your home that
cannot stand the test do not give 1t

where, an unclean literature. charge
upon it the destruction Of 10000 i'm
mortal souls, and l bid you wake up
to the magnitude of the evil.
l shall take all the worlds litera-
ture-good novels and bad, travels
true and false, histories faithful and
incorrect, legends beautiful and mon
strous, all tracts, all chronicles, all
poems, all family, city, state and ma
tional libraries-and pile them up in
a pyramid of literature, and then l
shall bring to bear upon it some
grand, glorious, infallible, unmistak-
able Christian principles. God help
me to speak with referenuce to my
last account and help you to listen.
l charge you in the first place to
stand aloof from all books that give
false pictures of life. Life is neither
tragedy nor a farce. Men are not
all either knaves or heroes. Women
are neither angels nor furies. And
yet if you depended upon much Of the
literature of the day you would get
an idea that life instead of being
something earnest, something practi-
cal, is fitful and fantastic and ex-
travagant thing. How poorly prepar-
ed are that young man and woman for
the duties of today who spent last
night wading through brilliant pas
sages descriptive of magnificent
knavery and wickedness! The man
will be looking all day long for his
heroine in the office, by the forge, in
the factory, in the counting room, and
dissatisfied. A man who gives him
self up to the indiscriminate reading
of novels will be nerveless, inane and
a nuisance. He will be fit neither for
store, nor the shop, nor the field. A
woman who gives herself up to the in
discriminate reading of novels will be
untitled for the duties of wife, mother,
sister, daughter. There she is, hair
disheveled, countenance vacant,
cheeks pale, hands trembling, BURST
ing into tears at midnight over the
fate of some unfortunate lover; in
the daytime. when she ought to be
busy, staring by the half hour at
nothing, biting her finger nails into
the quick. The carpet that was plain
before will be palmer after having
wandered through romance all night
long in tessellated halls of castles.
And your industrious companion will
be more unattractive than ever, now
that you have walked in the romance
through parks with plumed princesses
u: loa-e-4 IL the araor U..l po.-
ished desperate. On, these confirmed
this life, which is tremendous disci-
pline. They know not how to go
through the furnaces of trial through
which they must pass, and they are
untitled for world where everything
we gain we achieve by hard and long
continuing work.
Avoid Partially Bad Books.
Again, abstain from all those books
which, while they have some good
things, have also an admixture Of evil.
You have read books that had two ele-
ments in them-the good and the bad.
Which stuck to you? The bad. The
heart of most people is like a sieve,
which lets the small particles Of gold
fall through, but keeps the great Gin
ders. Once in awhile there is mind
like loadstone, which, plunged amid
steel and brass filings, gathers up the
steel and repels the brass. But it is
generally exactly the opposite. If you
attempt to plunge through a hedge OF
