C0RBIN RETURNS
TO WASHINGTON
Is pleased With Conditions in
the Philippines.
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE
TELLS OF THE WORK OF THE
COMMANDING OFFICERS.

Washington. Sept. 25.-Major General
Corbin, the adjutant general of the
army, returned from the Philippines to-
day. While he declined to submit to a
formal interview. he talks freely of the
condition of affairs in the Philippines.
particularly of the work accomplished
by Generals Sternberg. Weston and
Greeley.
The general is greatly pleased with
conditions there and was particularly
gratified to find the health of the army
so excellent and to see himself evidence
of the good feeling among the officers
and soldiers. Large economies have
been effected in nearly every branch
OF the military service in the Philip
pines.
General Weston consolidated the de-
pots of his department., thereby reiiev-
ing a number of staff officers, with con-
seQuent saving in money General
Sternberg reduced the number of hos
pitfalls and consolidated the medical sup
ply depots through the ARCHIPELAGO.
leaving but one of three in Manila on
his return the hospital at Nagasafxi wa 8
abandoned. as also was the hospital
ship Relief. which had become no long
er needed. The ship was turned over to
General Chaffee for the interisland
transportation department
Problem of Importance.
General Ludington, quartermaster
general, had not completed his work
when General COrbin left. He is con-
fronted with problems of greater i'm
portance than those of the others. The
troops in Luzon, for instance. are al
most entirely duartered in 'sconven-
toes of church property, and now that
quiet and order are restored, these are
needed for church and school purposes.
1t VIII be difficult for the troops to be
quartered as before until barracks are
erected and this important question will
be thoroughly investigated by General
Ludlngton and a competent scheme
prepared.
General Corbin said that the neces-
slty for a regularly established mail
service between Manila and this coun-
try Is one OF great Importance, not only
Tor the commercial interests, but the
soldiers and officers serving in the
archipelago; for there is now no GER
talnty when mail will be received from
nome The practicabilty of establish
ing an efficient mail service is illustrat-
ed oy the facilities offered by the Ca
Adutah racine steamers carrying mail
10 the orient where the people of the
ports IN CHINA and Japan where the
steamers touch can determine within
an hour the date of the arrival of +be
next mail, and so strict is the penalty
Tor failure to deliver the mail on soho
dule time that the people can denend
on their mail with the exactness of the
service in Washington.
1t is understood the postofice denart
ment is doing all in its power 10 accom-
plish this and the local postoffica in Ne
Mia is reported as being adninistered
excellently. but the report OF the n1aiIs
is very irregular.

SIRHEM HE'LL
QUITS MIDWAY
Turkish Ticket Seller Disappears
With $50.
PRETENDED TO BE SICK
BELIEVED THAT HE LEFT THE
CITY.

Sirhem He'll, a Turkish ticket seller
at the Elks' carnival. pocketed about
$3.50 of the gate receipts last night and,
leaving his post of duty upon the pre-
tense of being sick. disappeared, moth
ing having been seen or heard of him
since. His mysterious disappearance
has led to the belief that he has left the
city with the money. and the police
have been called upon to locate him.
Sirhem was one of the chief ticket
sellers and was stationed at the Third
South entrance. According to the
statement of Manager Harbour, Sirhem
left his post about 10 O'Clock last night,
and. complaining of being a little sick,
asked to be relieved for a few minutes.
He kept what money he had received
and was allowed to leave the ticket
stand under the condition that he would
return in a few minutes.
When closing time came around the
overseer reported to Mr.. Harbour that
Sirhem was missing and a search
failed to reveal any trace of him. Al
ter a man had been dispatched to his
room and found that head his effects
were missing. the matter was reported
to Chief Hilton and he was asked to
look out for the Turk. a number of
Mr.. JarbOur'S- men were kept on the
streets all night looking for Sirhem,
but no trace of him could be found.
and as he left his post of duty about
10 O'Clock il is thought that he boarded
the Short Line train and left the city.
Tbs police were ordered by CHEZ Hill
ton to look out for Sirhem and every
effort is being made to get some trace
of him.
Mr.. Harbour said that he could not
tell last night just howNAlu<a the tick
ct seller had gotten away with until
the tickets were counted, but that he
thought it would amount to about $3.50
or $500 He stated that Sirhem had
been one of his most trusty mer,, u d
he was greatly surprised at his con-
duct. He said. though. that he had no
doubt but that he would be able to
locate him in a short time.

The accident was due to an error
made in noting the time by the engin-

RACES FOR ROOMS
BETWEEN BELATED ARRIVALS

Immense trade was experienced by
the local hotels last night Not only
were the regular rooms filed. but par
Tors and out of the way places were
brought into requisition to supply the
demand for lodging. To add to the
carnival rush the wreck on the Rio
Grande made it impossible for large
numbers of travellers to make railroad
connections, and these had TO remain
in town over night.
Train No. 3 on that road arrived at
midnight. and its approach was the
signal for hackInen to secure loads by
giving warning of the condition OF af-
fairs Exciting races for the nearest
hotels was the result, and many of the
most energetic paid fancy prices to
beat their more slow-going fellow
travellers TO a haven of refuge for the
night. At one of the Leading hotels
the proprietor was called out of bed at
midnight in order to make it possible
