Will AguinaldO Urge Peace3

The intmation is held forth in Gen. Mac
Arthur's dispatch telling of the capture of
AguinaldO that the Fagal leader may soon
issue a proclamation to his followers urg-
ing them to lay down their arms. This
gratifying suggestion is logical result of
Funston's successful raid Aguinaldo's
case was practically hopeless at Palanan.
The elections in the United States had gone
against the party which stood nearest to
giving distinct pledge to grant absolute
independence to the archipelago. The mill
tary campaign of the Americans had driven
the rebel bands to the mountains. The
Taft commission had succeeded in estab-
fishing civil rule in many provinces, with
every evidence of hearty cooperation by
the natives. Hundreds of the insurgents
in arms had been captured or had sur
rendered. The nest OF conspirators in Ma
Mia which for months had been foment-
ing the insurrection and supplying it with
funds and munitions had been broken up
The natives Of intelligence had begun to
form parties in harmony with the Ameri-
can sovereignty and to split into fractional
organizations, while dividing upon reh-
sious questions. There was every evidence
OF the dissolution of the native independ-
ence party both as 4 civil and as mill
tary factor.
This was the condition which inspired
ASuinaldo to write 10 friends imploring
them to exert themselves to the utmost to
stay the advancing America ization of the
islands. There was no hope of success,
Every month saw the new sovereignty
more firmly established and the insurgent
cause weaker and less able to resist. Under
such circumstances capture should have
been and perhaps was welcome to the de-
spatring leader. He had done we'll from
his point of view, exceptionally we'll under
all the circumstances. But his cause was
wrong and he lacked tie means to make it
succeed against proposition which prom
ised the Filipinos good government pro-
gressive betterments and peace.
1t would be the act of a Filipino patriot
now for Aguinaldo to accept the inevitable
ana to spare his people further bloodshed.
His word to the men still in arms ought
to have a broad effect, although It is to
be expected that even If he should issue
such q proclamation rs General Macarthur
suggests there would remain certain
amount of outlawry in the less settled re-
sions. remote from the centers of Ameri-
can authority. The most wholesome effect
of such a move as this would be upon the
already friendly natives, who have for
tiles for accepting American soyereigntv,
II Aguinaldo. by a formal declara-
ton, could put an end to the terroriziue
OF the amigo class he would go very far
toward closing the instruction effectively.

Untold millions in undeserved pensions
would have been saved to the United States
treasury if, at the close of the war for the
Union. the discharged soldiers had been
subjected to such a thorough physical ex-
animation as now awaits every regiment on
being mustered out. Each individual Is re-
CURED to fill and sign a blank describing his
physical condition, and this report will be
transmitted to the mastering officer, who
Will then cause physical examination to
be made. Where an officer or enlisted man
claims to have disability he will be i'm
mediately examined by board of three
medical officers, whose report will be turned
over 90 the adjutant general, In order that
deserving claimants may be pensioned with
the least possible delay. This arrangement
Is an excellent one for volunteers as well
as Tor the government. 1t is thorough
safeguard against padding the pension
rolls and is at the same time a great ad-
vantage to the men who are justly entitled
to pensions, inasmuch 1t will enable
them to establish their claims without ex-
pense or delay.

even beyond their fendest hopes, and also
bring out a device to take the place of belt

edicts Of proprietors Of hotels and other
places that such apparel shall not be al

would be the part OF wisdom for intending
makers and wearers of this article, unde-
niably comfortable, te inform themselves on
the probable attitude OF restaurant keepers
before undertaking any large outlay for
this part Of q summer costume. OF course.
If an article is worn universally, that makes
assent to Its appearance universal But is
the mans shirt waist to be worn eyeu--by
one-half the male population? Or Will its

Fame,

There once did live wondrous man;
So general was his fame
To cheer, the world straightway began
AT mention of his name.
And straightway literary folk
Began, in accents sweet,
To tell what was his favorite joke
And what he liked to eat
They told of golf and other joys
By which his leisure sped,
And of his little girls and boys
And what bright things they said.
About his ancestry they told
And all it's doings proud;
And whether, when he'd taken cold,
He ever sneezed aloud.
OF things like these we read a lot
And the result must shame us;
We read until we quite forgot
What really made him famous

river works, drawing much less water
than the Erie and is built like cigar,
with a sharp tapering Prov.
It Is estimated that over 100000 will
change hands as result. The betting
is even, ranging from small sums to
thousands fdollars. The Cleveland
and Buffalo Transit company has depos-
tied $1,000 on the Erie against like
sum put up on the Tashmoo by the
White Star people.
Just before the boats started the wind
veered around to the north and the rae.
ers had a seven mile breeze against their
quarter boats. When the starter gave
the signal the steamers were at dead
stop and on even terms.
Much to the surprise of the spectators
the Erie was the first to gain headway
and crossed the stakeboat line, fully two
lengths ahead of the Tashmoo.
The Detroit boat, however, gradually
drew up on the Erie and as they disap-
peared from sight, three or four miles
| eastward, the Tashmoo had overtaken
the Cleveland steamer. The Erie cross
ed the starting line at 9:3756 and the
Tashmoo at 9:3S31 Official time.) Oft

moo led by one length, the Tashmoo ap-

At Firboro, twenty-eight miles east OF

The Amagamae Offer the Butte Boston Boston Montana Stockholders

1iouncement that has attractA" most at
tention is the paragraph which prom
ises to shareholders of Butte and Mon
tana all dividends declared prior to the
absorption of these companies by the
Ama!gamated.
This clause is construed hv some into
a promise to pay dividends on each
before the consolidation is consummate ed.
1t would seem that If there is to be a
dividend on one stock that there will
also be one on the other.
The last dividend on Boston l. Nom
tana was paid on May 20. This was q
regular quarterly dividend of S and an
extra Of IS. The first and only dividend
on Butte & Boston was paid on Dccvm-
ber 10. 1900. At that time it was be-
lieved that the company had gone on a
quarterly dividend paying basis.
Boston & Montana shareholders under
the plan get for each share Of stock four
shares of Amalgamated. Amalgamated
is at present paying dividends at the
rate of IS per annum on par. Last year
Boston & Montana shareholders received
$43 in dividends.
On the basis at which they go into the
Amalgamated company they vii; receive
ss2 per share. This. at first glance.

cepting the same.
The directors Of the Amalgamated
Copper company have called stock
holders meeting for the sixth OF
June to pass upon our offer. and. IL
it Is accepted. to authorize the issue
of the necessary stock for the pur-
pose. AS there has already been

ton in New Jersey courts. We con-

avoid further delay. that we should

rangement with the Amalgamated

EXTRA SESSION Of CONGRESS,

and announced in regard to the Philip.
pine Islands,
1t can be authoritatively stated that
the Dingley rates upon goods from the
Philippines entering the United States
will remain in force as heretofore. The
president will put into effect such
changes in the tariff duties on goods 60
ing into the Philippines as the Taft com.
mission may recommend. The establish
ment of civil government in the archi-
pelago can proceed without interruption
as soon as the military authorities con-
slider the time ripe for it's establishment.
The attorney general and the secretary
Of war have had several conferences,
and although the attorney general would
not indicate what conclusion they
would probably reach, he said their
views thus far We're in complete har-
mony and reports that there had been
disagreement between them We're alb
surd. Secretary Root said the same.
Members of the administration all
agree that the postponement Of the es-
tablishment of a civil government in the
Philippines is to avoid it if possible to
do so. The administration wishes to
avoid any interim when it would be inn
possible to. collect duties coming from
the Philippines or collect customs du-
ties in the Philippines for the support Of
the island government.

Provided that the dividend rate on
