Hns Gen. Whitc Skinned2

II was a shock to the friends of Gen.
White on the I'd to learn that he has
fled from the country and will not be
in Grand Rapids to face the grand jury
indictments unless he is brought back
by the officers. Without any question
whatever he has become a fugitive and
from all accounts Gen. Marsh has gone
with him. Ever since he was notified
by telephone from Lansing two weeks
ago of the action of Gov Pingree in
demanding his resignation, Gen. White
has been n complete changed man. On
the I'd letter was received by mail
from Gen. White. 1t was dated Chi
cago, and was written Dec. 30, although
not mailed until Jan. l.. 1t was brief
and stated in substances:
81 am thoroughly discouraged, and
can't stand this any longer. Every
thing is working against me, and if
should return | would be in torment
continually. l have suffered every
minute for weeks, and am now going
away where i can get n little rest.
don t know just yet where it will be,
but l leave here at once"
There were some injunctions enclosed
for other friends and some directions
for the disposal of his property At
first it was thought that Gen. Marsh
had gone with Gen. White, but he had
merely went to Broclport, N. y, and
as soon as he learned that the state of
ficials were looking for him, he tele-
graphed as to his whereabouts and inn
mediately returned.

WAR NOTES.

There will probably be no reduction
in the military force now In the Philip
pines for at least six months. Includ-
ing all the arms of. the service, there
are now in the islands IS, 900 soldiers,
in addition to about 1,2OO marines at
Cavite, and about 5000 sailors on the
warships. The total of the fighting
forces is thus fully 10000 men. The
war department wishes TO avoid the
mistake made when Gen. Otis first took
command, of Understanding the diff
ficulties to be encountered, and the pol
icy is TO be followed of having more
men than needed rather than to few.
Gov Gen. Wood has recommended
that the bridges throughout the island
be repaired so as to make them passa-
BILE for trains, and urges that a large
force of men be put to work in each
province. The water supply system
will also receive immediate attention.
Ordinary wells and artesian wells will
be constructed in sufficient numbers,
if possible, to supply the needs of the
entire island. AS soon as the prisons
have been emptied of persons unjustly
held Gen. Wood intends to have their
sanitation looked after.
Four explosive bombs, few fire.
arms and 500 rounds of ammunition

has investigated the charges of cor
ruption in The state legislature, the
state military board and other depart
ments of the state government, is a
thing of the past. Shortly after noon

turned two more indictments, and was

90 a Prosperous Year for Railroads.

The best evidence that the year 1899
was one of general prosperity is found
in tic fact that it was a year almost
without railway bankruptcies. In
only two years since 1875, have the
roads for which receivers were APP
pointed been so few-and in only three
of those years were the mileage and
capital involved so small. Only one
road of Importance is found in the list,
the new Kansas, Pittsburg & Gulf,
which defaulted in its obligations be-
fore it had time to demonstrate its
earning capacity and was placed in the
charge of receivers early in the year
For the past 24 years the foreclosure
sales have averaged more than "a a
year. the largest number in one year
being 65 and the smallest -. In the
last six years, 273 roads have been sold,
a yearly average of 4j55, not counting
a number of insolvent companies that
have been reorganized without sale.
1t is not conceivable that the coming
quarter century will show any such
rate of mortality among railway cor
porations.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

A bill has been introduced by Con-
gresham VIM. 5. Mcsick. of Michigan,
which is considered liable to make a
decided change in the affairs of the bu
reau of pensions, as it is intended to
clear up at one twist of the wrist, so TO
speak, a considerable number of claims
for pensions that are in a high degree
perplexing. 1t is in the nature of a
general service pension law, but the
benefciaries are only those who have
reached the age of 90. Mr. Mesick's
bill provides: Survivors of the army
and navy of the rebellion who served
90 days and who received an honorable
discharge from the service, and have
attained, or will attain, before or after
the passage of this act, the age of 60 or
over, shall be granted an unconditional
pension of S24 per month during life,
and that survivors are entitled to the
provisions of this act on the condition
that all other pensions they are receiv-
ing. or may receive from the United
States government shall be forfeited.
Congress will soon take up the bill
providing a government for the Ea-
waiian islands which will be reported
