the attention Of rich and influential
men and they started him for the law

Upon his return as a full-fedged
lawyer, Maj. Warner, one of his pa
irons, found place in the Office o. the
surveyor of the port in Kansas city.
There he was thrown into contact with
politicians and started on this bent of
his career. He had a command of Ian

what they were pleased to call "a won

into demand as a stump speaker. Mai.

CHICAGO, March pa ceblegram to
The Tribune from Vienna says:
The classification of Finland is pro-
crossing steadily and relentlessly. A
few weeks ago the czar sent message
couehed in sharp terms to the newly
opened landtag and a short time after
wards he refused to receive protest
against the confiscation Of the heredi-
tary autonomy rights Of the principal
ity. Following upon that he issued a
number Of orders, among which was
one to the effect that in the future state
officials in Finland need not take the
oath upon the constitution Of the prov
ince, but that the mere oath of Office
which is customary in Russia sufhced.
Now comes the announcement that
General Lieutenant Procope, assistant
Of the state secretary of Finland, has
been removed from his position. His
successor will undoubtedly be q Rus
sian, whom no oath will bind to re-
spect the constitution Of the princi-

DEs MONIES, Ia, March 80. State
Treasurer Herriot has issued a 7-column
public statement with regard to differ
ences between other members Of the
executive council and himself over the
railroad assessment. He accused the
governor and other members Of the
council with having made the assess
ment in the interests Of the railroads,
and that instead Of increasing it, it was:
actually lowered. The statement com
tains many insinuations against Gov
ernor Shaw, State Auditor Merriam
and Secretary Of State Dobson. It is:
the outgrowth Of differences which have
existed for years and has created sem
sation among the members of the legis-
lature as well as the general public.

gent anti prize fgh@ bill. It provides

New Military Division Created Embracing
the Philippine Archipelago.


the Philippine Archipelago.
WASHINGTON, March 90. Secretary
Root has taken a step long contem-
plated in the admins aion Of the Phil
ippines by directing the creation Of an
entirely new military division to be
known as the division Of the Pacific,
embracing all the Philippine archipel-
ago. The division in turn is to be
divided into four military departments
as follows: The department. Of North
ern Luzon, commanded by General
Macarthur; the department. Of South
ern Luzon, commanded by General
Bates; the department. Of the Visayas,
commanded by General Hughes, and
the department Of Mindanao and Jolo,
commanded by General Kobbe.
Major General Otis viii retain the SUI
preme command over these depart rtments
as division commander, occupying
toward them position corresponding
closely to that occupied by General
Miles toward the military departments
in the United States. tits said at the
war department. that the purpose of the
new order Of things is to free General
Otis Of the many minor details incident
to the administration of the islands,
leaving him at liberty to devote more
time to the larger questions of policy
and civil administration.
