the fact that in u spring election in an
off year. the country people especially
who were busy with other matters
needed something striking to arouse them
to & proper interest in the election.
He thought u primary election for

Perry of the United States marine hos
pitaI service, chief quarantine officer
for the Philippine islands, has made a
report to Surgeon General Wyman on
leprosy in the islands Among other
things, he says:
''Leprosy is widely prevalent through
the entire archipelago. The greatest
number of cases exist in Southern Luz
zon and the southern islands. It is
quite prevalent in Cebu. the number OF
1epers being estimated at 2,C00- The
total number Of cases in the islands is
estimated at 10000. but the actual num-
Der is not known.
THE cases in Manila and surround
ing country are-iso.ated in substantial
hospital, under the auspices Of the
Manila board Of health. There is also
a Ieper hospital at Cebu.
"A board of army officers was recent
ly detailed to investigate several isl
ands for the purpose of selecting a suit
able one for Ieper colony, the intention
being to deport all cases of leprosy to
this place for segregation and isolation.
I think that in few months this viii
have been established"

UNFAIRLY. He stated that he had squan-
dered and used in fleeing from Omaha
most of the money he got as his share
in the kidnapping job before I arrested
him in this city as a suspect early in
February. County Attorney Summers
asked Henderson why he had not admit
ted his identity sooner, and he said:
d" Heretofore when L have been in

and the court house But now 1 see
there is no chance for me to get out of
thirteen years sentence on my cOnvic-
ton here in Dallas for theft, and I
might as well own up to the Omaha
job -
Henderson is the man whom John j.
Donahue, Omaha's chief of police, in
vestigated when arrested in Dallas early
in February. A picture of Pat Grove
was found in Henderson's trunk at the
time and it was suspected he might
know something of the kidnapping. Chief
Donahue has since been in correspond

ARE PLANNING A GOVERNMENT.

Bacolor, Island of s.-(SpeciaL)-
The Philippine commission has not def
nitely decided when to establish prOvin-
cial governments in the island of Ne
gros. The civil government established
by General Otis is still in operation and
fairly successful. The Negras govern
ment employs half dozen officers and
an advisory council of eight, all cleo
tive. The military commander has an
absolute voice.
Senior Severine. the present civil gov
ernor. is not popular and it is alleged
that he is un-Anerican. Nevertheless
the system is not criticised. The COM
mission prefers to gather the sentiment
of the people of the island and then to
show reasons for organizing Negros on
lines similar to the organization of
other islands.
Judge Taft and his associates have
begun to consider recommendations as
to the form of general civil government
which it is now believed President NC
Kinley will order inaugurated in July,

LARGEST MERGER EVER MADE.

New York.-(Speoial.)- 1.-The Evening
Post says: With the passing of title to
SO per cent of the stock Of the constitu-
ent companies of the United States
Steel corporation carries in effect the
greatest merger of stock ownership
ever attempted. Those in charge of
the negotiations think that II per cent
represents practically all the Outstand-
ing minority interest, with the proba-
billy that even this margin will be re
duced by stock deposits in process Of
collection. Much of the stock depos
tied has come from western points,
where holders are at a disadvantage as
regards banking facilities available for
negotiating the transfers. With the
prcticaI contamination of the consoli~
dation plan, we'll informed persons an
nounced that the different constituent
corporations would continue their ind1-
vidual existence so long as the greater
concern considered it eXpedient to do so.
