FREDDIE FUNSTON
GETS HIS REWARD
President Includes Him In
Promotion List.
KANSAN BRIGADIER GENERAL
Among Officers Advanced Are
Many Southerners---All Are
In Regular Army.

The following important army ap-
pointments were announced at the
white house Saturday night;
To be major general United States
army:
Brigadier General Lloyd Wheaton,
vice Miles promoted lieutenant gem
eral.
To be brigadier generals in the regu-
lar army:
Colonel Jacob 81. Smith, Seven
teenth United States infantry, briga-
dier general volunteers, vice Dagett,
retired
Brigadier general, Frederick Fun
ston, United States volunteers, vice
Wheaton, promoted.
The announcement of these appoint
ments was made after conference
between the president, Secretary Root
and Adiutant General Corbiu, and at
the same time the long expected list
of appointments of majors and cap
tains in the quartermaster' and COM
missary departments and chaplains
was made known.
All of these appointments are in the
regular army, under the recent act OF
congress enlarging and reorganizing
the army and without exception the
staff appointees are from volunteer
officers.
The chief interest, however, center
ed in the three high appointments Of
a major general and two brigadiers,
and more particularly in the selection
of General Funston after his gallant
exploit in capturing Aguinaldo.
Following the announcement Cen
eral Corbin sent the following to Gen
eral Mac Arthur:
WASHINGTON, March 30.--Mac-
Arthur, Manila. a.-The following ap-
pointments made: Wheaton, major
general. Smith and Funston, briga-
diers general. Secretary of war joins
me in congratulations to all.
CoRB1N."
Among the other appointments were
the following:
To be captains and assistant quar-
termasters:
W. NJ. Coulling, Virginia; W. B.
Barker, Mississippi; A. W. Butt, Geor-
gia; II. J.. Pettus, Alabama; L. F.
Garrard, Jr., Georgia; X. J. Hampton,
Kentucky; B. Frank Cheatham, Ten
nessee: Frederick w. Cole, Florida;
Charles I. Baker, South Carolina.
To be captain and assistant commits
sary of subsistence:
H. G. Cole, Georgia; I. B. Hacker,
Tennessee.
To be chaplains:
John NJ. Moose, Mississippi; Charles
It. Wright, Georgia; A. A. Pruden,
North Carolina.
The promotion of General Funston
shows that President Mckinley has
not been influenced by the disposition
on the part of what is known as the
regular army combine to discount the
importance of Funstou's sensational
achievement.
The fact that volunteer officer,
without the assistance of the regular
army, has been able to locate and
make a captive of this notorious Fill
pino is not relished by the regulars.
Funston is not popular with the regu-
lar army combine, which was demon
strated by the stubborn opposition to
every effort that had been made to
promote him. He was urged for pro-
motion to the rank of brigadier gen
eral, but he was without sufficient mil
itary or political influence to obtain
the recognition which many persons
claim he was entitled to.

END OF WAR NEAR.
island Of Mindanao Pacifled and Many
Rebels Surrender.

An important dispatch was received
q the war department Friday from Gen.
Macarthur at Minila. 1t did not refer
to Aguinaldo or Funston. but in the
opinion of the war department officials
it went far to support the prediction
made by General Macarthur in pre-
vious dispatch relating to those two
leaders, to the effect that the end of the
rebellion is near. 1t chronicles the
surrenderof a considerable additional
number Of rebels and military arms,
and the important feature of it is that
the surrender marks the stamping out
of the insurrection in Mindanao.

MAKES PLANS FOR
 CATHOLIC MEETING
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF So- clETlES WILL MEET NEXT WEEK IN cINcINNATI-EvERY- THING IS NOW IN READINESS.

Cincinnati, December 7.-Final arrange ments were completed tonight for the convention next week of the American Federation of Catholic Societies. which begins on Tuesday and continues three days. Final reports of the auxiliary conn mittees tonight show that everything Is in readiness for the reception of the del- .egates President J. H. Fries of Erie, Pa, and other officers and delegates are expected tomorrow. They will meet next Monday evening with the general local.
 Early Tuesday morning the delegates and the local societies with number of bands will march to St. Peters lcathed- rai A solemn high mass by Bishop Horstman of Cleveland, with Archbishop Elder on the throne and a sermon by Bishop Messmer of Greenbay. Wis, will follow.
 The convention will be formally opened at II a. m. in the auditorium with ad- dresses by Governor Nash and Mayor Fleischmann and responses by President Fries and others. In the afternoon the convention will go into executive session and the indications are that the conven- tion will be in session most of the day.
 Under the delegate system the number of members will not be very large, by the questions as to the permanent organ ization of the Catholic societise will be finally settled and for that reason. un- usual interest Is being taken in the oc- casion It Is generally believed now that there will be very little opposition to the proposition to make an organization out of the Federation that had started at Long Branch last August

HEARST'S MEN ARE
 LET OUT OF JAIL
Judge Decides They Are Not
 Guilty of Contempt
FINAL ORDER WAS ENTERED
Judge Dunne Holds That the Cartoon Is Probably Llbelous, But That Judge Hanecy Must Sue
 Like Others.

Chicago. December 7.-Andrew M. Law renee, managing editor of Hearst's Chica- go American, and H. S. Garfield, a re- porter. who were sentenced recently by Judge Hanecy to forty and thirty days respectively in the county jail for con tempt of court, were discharged from custody by Judge Dunne today.
 Judge Dunne held that the case in question had been finally disposed of by Judge Henecy when he gave his decision from the bench. The fact that the clerk had not entered the order when the com ment on the decision was printed and published, therefore does not show the case was still pending. Judge Dunne admitted the articles and cartoons which Judge Hanecy objected to were clearly calculated to offend the court not al- ready having rendered it's decision. Judge Dunne admitted that the cartoon in evi- dence was probably libellous and the ar ticle probably so.
 Judge Like Others,
 T see no reason" said Judge Dunne, why judge should be offered a diff ferent remedy for attacks in the public prints than the President. Governor or Congressman. Criticism of a public off, ficial If just, will do good; If unjust, will do no harm.''
 In conclusion the court said: q am clearly of the opinion that the language used in open court by Judge Hancey amounted to a final order disposing of the case under consideration and that being a final order under the doctrine of contempt, as laid down in this state by our Supreme Court in Storey vs. the peo- pie that the relators had a right to com ment and criticize that decision even to the extent of libeling the honored and re- speeted judge who rendered that opinion, without exposing themselves to prosecu- tion for contempt of court"
 Following is Judge Hancey's comments on Judge Dunne's decision:
 Judge Dunne had the power SO to decide but he did not have the right. Any judge has the power to let every prisoner cut of the penitent;ary, but they nave not the right. nor does anybody ex- pect that they will"
 Origin of Case.
 The contempt case and the habeas cor pus nearing which followed grew ont of an effort made by the Chicago American to secure an order for quo warranto pro- ceedings to compel the Peoples Gaslight and Coke Company to show by what right they operated in Chicago.
 Judge Hanecy refused to allow the quo warranto proceedings, and for this re- tusal the American printed articles and cartoon strongly intimating that the Juoge had been unduly influenced and that when he again came up for election he would discover that the people had m confidence in him. Judge Hanecy cited Lawrence and Canfield. with other news- paper men, with contempt and adiudged Lawrence and Garfield guilty.
 w. K. Hearst, owner of the paper; Clare Briggs and Homer Davenport, rtoon- ists, have not been within the jurisdiction or the court. and the contempt charge still bends against them.

CLEVER SCHEME
 OF CHICAGO MAN Worthless Notes Are Circulated on the Public NOTES NOT COUNTERFEIT Secret Service Agents Consider Them All the More Dangerous, as
 They Resemble the Gen. uine Greenback.
NOTES NOT COUNTERF FIT

Chicago, December 7.-Worthless notes of the defunct State Bank of New Bruns- wick, N J., representing face value oi over $1S,OOO were seized by secret service agents of the government in a raid on the office of Stevens and Company, 69 Dear born street.
 Aroused by the many complaints re- ceived recently from persons who claim to have been victimized into selling goods for notes of this character, the govern ment officials made an investigation. Si- las C. Stevens Is said to be the only mem- Der of the concern, and he refused after the raid to make a statement as to his businesss !.
 While the notes are not classed as coun- terfeits, they are said to be more danger ous because of their resemblance to the genuine issue of 'greenbacks."
