The Kenosha expedition, for which
a round-trip railroad fare of 81 has
been'arranged, will not interfere with
the decorations. The committees ap-
pointed to go to the cemeteries will
start early, and will probably save
time as far as possible by using the
street cars. Cars now run direct to
Union, Calvary, and Forest Home
cemeteries, the burying grounds in
which most of the graves to be decor
ated are located. 1t is suggested by
Thomas Bo1and, of Robert Chivas post,
and met with favor. The Wo1cott post

noon, and before that time the decorat-

The London Spectator expressed chagrin
that the populace of London should

Rosebery, as we have observed, doubts
if men of inferior physical frame and
weak morality are equal to the require

inferior beings. To persuade this gen

at the rate of $3.50, gold, per day. and
this is only one example. BY excessive
tariff rates and warehouse charges case
of canned tomatoes - to take single
example-originally worth $3 30 when
landed in Manila, was made to cost $11
before it could be sold to customers.
Such abuses as these, it is reasonable
to believe, have at least as much in
fuence in sowing dissatisfaction in the
Philippines and in keeping up the in
surrection as any mistakes made in the
prosecution of the war. Mr.. Martin
looks for remedy for these evils in the
substitution of civil government for the
military one, but it strikes us that if
things are as he pictures them, the
sample Of military rule that they have
been having in Manila is very poor
one, and that even were civil gov
ernment not introduced, a great i'm
provement in the condition of affairs
could be made if General Macarthur,
or some one else, would take hold vigor-
ously with determination to sweep
away the evils which have grown up and
to substitute efficiency and clean
methods for inefficiency and corruption.

MILITARY GOVERNMENT IN MANILA

MILITARY GOVERNMENT IN MANILA.
Harold Martin, who is the representa-
tive in the Philippines of the Associated
Press and therefore should be an entirely
trustworthy authority, gives the New
York Independent an account of the
military government of the city of
Manila, which has been in existence
something over two years and has thus
had fair opportunity to demonstrate
what it can do for the reestablishment
of order and the benefit of the people.
1t is a very disappointing story and
shows that the record made by General
Otis and General Macarthur compares
poorly with the record made in the gov
ernment of Cuba by General Ludlow
and General Wood. The latter have
been able to make military government

the Cubans by giving them an intelli-
gent, effective and reasonably economi.

or effective, and everybody longs for
the time when the Philippine commits
sioners shall establish civil government
to take the place of military rule.
People Kept in Ignorance.
1t seems to us that one reason for the
success of General Wood in satisfying
the restless Cubans as we'll as he has is
that, although armed with military
authority to govern arbitrarily, he has
seen fit, for reasons Of policy, to adopt a
good many of the methods of civil gov
ernment, especially in the matter of pub.
licity. From time to time accounts have
been published showing what amounts OF
revenue have been collected in Cuba,

on the government and instituting pub
lie improvements. A policy directly the
opposite of this seems to have prevailed
in Manila, where, according to Mr.. Mar
tin, the people have been kept in COM
plete ignorance of the state of the
revenues, knowing neither how much
money has been collected nor how it is
spent. The taxes have remained high,
being practically the same as during the
old Spanish days, and while perhaps the
people would not have been dissatisfied
if they had known just where their
money was going, they have not been
allowed this satisfaction, and secrecy
and mystery seem to brood over the
financial transactions of the military
government.
The police department also has fur
nished ground for great deal of
scandal, since most of the native police
men are believed to be notoriously cor
rupt and to make practice of accepting
money to protect criminals and law
breakers. There is an ordinance against
gambling in the city, and yet it goes on
in all the principal streets Filipino and
Spanish clubs flourish throughout the
town and Cinnamon run innumerable
| fan tan games. Under civil government
the suppression of gambling is often
difficult from the impossibility of Sc
curing evidence to convict, but the ad-
vantage of the military government is
that, if it means business, it can suppress
law violation without evidence and
without giving reasons for it's acts. The
Manila policeman patrols his beat un.
mindful of the gambling games, and the
extraordinary luxury in which many Of
the off GERS live is such that the cause of
the liberation is not mysterious. A sim
liar disagreeable odor of corruption
surrounds the inferior courts, in which
four Filipino justices of the peace pre-
side.
Unjust Harbor Regulations.
There are other things which are more
annoying than these to the business
community, such as incompetence in the
custom house and the enforcement of
troublesome harbor regulations, where
by commerce is hampered. In Spanish
American countries the harbor regula-
tions are generally made with view to
extorting the largest amount of revenue
and giving the least amount of service
in these ways an extra price was added
to all the necessities of life in the old
days; but it was supposed that when
Manila came under American rule all OF
} these vexatious regulations would be
, swept away and commerce would be en-
J couraged. The contrary has proved tt
be the case, and so much delay is suffered

ATLANTA, Ca, MAY % In every Sec

states, over which the belt of totality Of
the sun s eclipse extended, the weather
was ideal for the observation of this re-
maraable phenomenon.
From the many stations of observa-
ton established by universities, the re.
ports indicate that the securing of data
was entirely successful.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Adyiees re-
ceived at the Naval Observatory from it's
agents in various points in the south
show that favorable weather prevailed
for observing the suns elipse, that the
contact occurred very close to schedule
time and that the program arranged
was carried out without hitch Three
parties were sent out from the observa-
tory, viz: One to Pinehurst, n. c., in
charge of Prof. Aaron N. Skinner; one
to GAINESVILLE, Ga, in charge of Prof.
Milton Updegraff, and one to Griffin,
Ga, i'll charge of Prof. Stimson +
Brown. Superintendent G. H. Davis,
OF the observatory, was in communica-
ton with these officials by telegraph,
and during the day he received the fol
lowing advices:
"PINEHURsT, N. C.-Clear sky and
favorable. permitting successful obser-
walton Of the eclipse. All seventeen
instruments successfully operated Con-
tact occurred very close to predicted
time. Corona very fine. Mercury only
star visible. A. N. SKINNER.
Prof. Updegraff, at GAINESVILLE, Ga,
and Prof. Brown, at Griffin, Ga, merely
reported that their observations were
successful.
La Washington the weather was
slightly clondy, which somewhat married
the opportunities for getting satisfac-
tory observation of the eclipse.
Unofficial reports which have reached
Washington indicate that the eclipse
was visible to a greater or less degree in
its entire path of totality. Particularly
fortunate were the observers in the
southern section of the country, where
the weather seemed to be unusually IA
vorable.
