THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM,
Difficulties Confronting Uncle Sam Viewed
by Returning Officer.

by Returning Officer.
Major-General S. NJ b. Young, re-
Gently commanding the northern part
of the Island of Luzon, arrived in
Chicago, en- route from Manila to
Washington, Sunday
The most formidable problem con-
fronting the United States government
in the Philippines today is presented
by the two great native secret societies,
the Katipunon and the Sandathan. +"
said Gen. Young. THE first named is
distinctly military in its character, and
numbers among its members the real
leaders of the iusurrection. The sec
ond is civil, and embraces every native
in the islands who is in sympathy with
the real cause. lne second secures
funds provisions and arms for the
first, and informs its members of all
movements of the United States troops.
The influence Of these two organiza-
tions is widespread, and our means OF
approaching the prime movers are linn
tied.
''Tbe utmost secrecy governs the
work of all these societies. They are
crafty, skillful, and, we have found to
our cost, treacherous. Their hatred of
our people is as bitter as it is ground
less, and in my opinion the quickest
and best, if not the only way, to wean
them from their prejudices is by means
of American colonization of the is
lands

DEPoPULATION OF INDIA.


The depopulation of India through
famine and cholera is assuming alarm
ing proportions. The latest advices
from Simla say the census returns Of

million and half might have been
expected. 1t is estimated that five
millions have died in India since 1886
from causes directly due to the famine.
In Western India things are even
worse. The Odeypoor State returns
show a decrease of $4,000, or As per

| and was soon afterward arrested by
the police.
He was sentenced to 80 days in the

10 minutes in order to give him a
chance to get out of the city.

marriage is a failure"
The trouble eliminated last Thurs
day over the arrangement Of the
furniture throughout the house, and
the disagreement became SO warm
that Mr.. Barr intimated to Mrs. Barr
that if she continued to annoy him
that her head would come off," The
witnesses for the prosecution, the
wife, two daughters and a son, Of
fered as their sworn opinion that the
husband and father was either insane
or a terrible mean man, while Mr..
Barr, the only witness for the defense,
proved beyond a doubt that it always
takes two or more to create a quarrel.
After listening several hours to the
testimony Of all parties interested,
DR.. Reinhart as a member of the
board moved that the case be dis
missed, and Mr.. Barr be allowed his
freedom. The county attorney and
other members Of the board being of
the same opinion Mr.. Barr was re-
leased from custody.

Forsyth Murderer Getting Out Of the

prevails in that place that Charles

a fugitive from justice, is bound for
Wyoming and that there is little prob
ability of the man being captured, at
least in this state.
A man answering Green's descrip-
ton is said to have been re- at Bull
Mountain about a week ago, and when
questioned as to his journeying said
that he was going to Wyoming. A
posse went out from Forsyth as far
as the Cody branch but as yet has
received no further clue of the es-
capped murderer.
There also seems to prevail, in
Forsyth, according to the same in
formant, a superstition that the Of
ficers are not very anxious to cause
the arrest of Green, for some cause
or other.
