Statistics Of the Capture and
Surrender Of Filipino
Rebels

Washington, June 15.-The war de-
partment gives out statistics showing
the extent of the disintegration of the
Philippine instruction. The cOmpila-
ton of reports covers the period up to
April II, 1901. Up to Jan. 1, 1901, the
total number Of insurgents captured or
surrendered was 21,497, together with
5.O4S rifles, Sc field pieces, something
over 1900 shells and balls, 573,S6O
rounds OF ammunition and 10 tons Of
powder.
From Jan. to April II the number
of captures include 247 officers and 3
459 men; surrendered, $50 officers and
6,492 men, making a grand total up to
that date of LAS insurgents cap
tured To this is to be added 1898
rifles captured, 1890 surrendered. 45,-
600 rounds of ammunition, 4OS bOlos
and "a pieces of cannon.
The compilation shows surrenders
and captures on nearly every day from
January TO the close of the report. The
surrender of Lieut. Gen Trias in
southern Luzon was of more import
ance than almost any other. save that
of Aguinaldo, his surrender practically
ending the instruction in the section
over which he had command. Gen
Trias since has been made governor Of
Cavite province.

BIG INSURANCE FIGURES

the total life insurance payments made
in this country and Canada. Last veal

calities covering the operations Of lif,
insurance companies and associations
during 1899 Similar statistics for more
than $500 cities and towns, covering
the business of companies and associa
tens during 1900 are submitted this
year. 1t announces that the object OF
this elaborate compilation is to bring
to light, for local emphasis, the vast
sums OF money that are being distrib-
uted through The medium Of the life IN
surance system day by day.
In every working day of 1900, Amerl.
can life insurance companies paid
nearly s1,000,OOO to the benefciaries OF
their policies The average policy at
the close of 1900 represented only ST.
400 of insurance. which demonstrates
that life insurance is mainly the poor
mans friend. That figure is the aver
age for companies that do not transact
industrial insurance. There are H.
100000 industrial policies in force the
average amount being but $780,
The tables prepared by the Insurance
Press show the gross distribution of
S273,590, $40 by American life insurance
companies during 1900. or that amount
$4,000 900 was paid to policy-holders in
dividends or for purchase Of surrender
ed policies. The amount of life insur.
ance paid in Wilmington in 1900 was
$lS6,S59. In Delaware, in 1899, $500.

G. A. R. AND PENSIONS

Too often the Grand Army of the Re
public is accused Of encouraging, fos-
tering and unfolding the abuses of
our pension system. These accusations
have constrained Joseph w. Kay, of
Brooklyn, past department commander
of New York. and chairman Of the
Committee on Legislation of the Ma
tional Encampment, to come out in a
spirited defense Of the organization.
He says there are now about 1000 900
survivors of the nearly 100000 who
enlisted in the army and navy Of the
United States in the war for the Union.
Less than 100000 of these. comprised
in nearly 1000 posts in forty-five de
partments, are members of the G. A.
r. organization, while more than 700
600 contribute nothing whatever to its
support, but partake equally in any
benefits resulting from its existence.
The assertion is made by this distin-
guished member of the organization
which represents the bone and blood
and Drawn which stood between the
nation and disruption, that to it arc
due the efforts made to obtain from the
National Government proper legisla.
tion OF a general character to the enc
that the pension laws may be properly
executed and administered, and tina
they be carried out in the same liberia
spirit in which these laws were enact
ed, and that a suitable preference il
public employment may be giver
worthy veterans who need and sect
such aid and are found capable.
In the name of the organization h,
disavows responsibility for the grea
number of private and special pension
bills and measures for the correction
OF military and navy records charging
desertion, and says it is not in sym
pathy with special pension bills to cor
rect clouded records.
In other words, the G. A. r. is Il
favor of just and equitable pension
system honestly administered.

Poor PHILADELPHIA

Citizens OF Philadelphia, that is. the
honest law-abiding, Woodworking tax
payers of the City OF Brotherly Love.
have our deepest sympathy. 1t is to be
presumed and hoped that they had no
idea of the future when they voted for
their present mayor. 1t seems almost
impossible than in these presumably en-
lightened days of the twentieth cen
fury that the mayor of one of the
largest cities in the world should so
viola.e the implied, II not the express.
wording Of his oath of Office in giving
away valuable franchises, for which
the sum of $2.5OO,O0 was offered by a
responsible citizen.
That such an offer should be spurn-
ed by one who should be the servant
of the people is net less serious than
the manner in which it was done-the
throwing away Of a letter unopened.
for fear that it might contain some
thing from Tom" Johnson; the hasty.
late at night signing of the volumi-
nous ordinances despite the appeal that
they be held up and carefully consider
ed in the interests of the people, and
of a probable three-cent fare is a great
blow to civic good government.
The result is sure to be harmful in
the example set to mayor and city Of
fcials throughout the country, who
may be tempted to forget the interests
OF the people and the taxpayers. The
mayer OF Philadelphia may not have
intended to create the impression
which he has given the people of the
country. II so,then hehas been mostun
fortunate in his acts and in the reasons
given for them.

FARMERS NEE Big
HARVEST CROPS
Wheat, Vegetable and Fruit
Crop Prospects Brighten
the HuSbandmOl

Farmers of New Castle county have
been blessed this season with abundant
crops, which they will begin to harvest
about July /. 1t is true that the season IS
two weeks late, but this fact will not work
serious inconvenience to the husbandmen.
In the meantime they are preparing for
the big harvest so that when the season
opens they will be prepared TO gather in
the crops with dispatch
The frequent rains Of the past few weeks
have caused the urban resident. who
thinks he understands the tilling of the
soil, to be apprehensive of the success Of
the wheat crop, but farmers Of the county
say that although the rains have laid the
wheat low, twill besup again and in good
condition when the reaper is started to
work. OF course this is just what the
farmers have prayed for. To have a bad
wheat season is a calamity for them. But
not only will they have big yields, but
prospects are for a good price. AS the
general vegetable crop also gives promise
of big yields, the farmers cup Of joy is
Allied to overlooking.
Charles Walton, OF Iron Hill; Arnold
Naudain, of Mermaid; c. G. Talley, of
MIL Creek, and several other farmers,
who were in market this morning, were
exceedingly enthusiastic over the pros
poets.
Superintendent Prettyman, Of the Min
quadale Home, boasts of the best potato
patch I'm the county, and says he expects
to make his first digging before July 1. He
has one acre in Early Ohio's, and invites
all tanners who desire instruction in po-
tato growing to look at the patch at Min.
quadale.
Fruits also are doing nicely, and If the
rain does not continue the cherry croI
will be unusually large. The strawberry
crop has about reached its height and al
though the yield has not been large. tn,
berries have been OF such quality that tn,
price has been kept up.
