Is the most important period in wo-
mans existence. Owing to modern
methods of living, not one woman in
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it

He stood with Douglas. holding up the
cause of the Union, and offered his own
life as cheerful sacrifice. If need be,
for its preservation.
Logan was never half-hearted. An
intense patriot, he was also an intense
partisan. He was forceful in the senate
as he was undaunted in battle. He had
convictions and followed them to their
conclusions at any cost. He was never
trimmer nor a laggard. He despised
duplicity, was the soul of frankness and
always at the front in every struggle.
civil or military, during the years of his
eventful life. He was soldier from
boyhood, the recognized captain among
his youthful associates. His integrity
was pronounced and served him well, as
integrity will serve every man who has
and keeps it. His success was found
ed on good cheer, unfailing sin
Cerity, high courage and unremitting
industry. He came out of the war with
the highest military honors of the vol
unteer soldier Brilliant in battle and
strong in military council, he was also
the true American spirit, for when the
war was ended, he was quick and eager
to return to the peaceful pursuits of civil
life. While strict disciplinarian, he
was yet beloved by all his men. No duty
was too hazardous for them cheerfully
to undertake, and no sacrifice too great
for them to do when he commanded. He
was not only considerate and tender Of
the soldiers whom he led. but generous
and courteous to his brother officers. 1t
was significant of his generous spirit that
under the tempting opportunity OF a
great command he declined 1t rather than
injustice should be done and humiliation
be put upon brother officer. No won-
der that General Logan was the ideal
Of the rank and file of the army. They
loved him: he loved them. In Washing
ton, with most onerous and exacting sem
atorial duties resting upon him, he was
devoted to the wants and necessities Of
his old comrades. His sympathy, his
services and his limited purse were never
denied O11n in their need He was among
the first commanders Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic and to him we are in
debted for that beautiful service which
on the 3Oth of May each brings to the
graves of the soldiers of the dead among
whom he rests in everlasting comrade-
ship the everlasting gratitude of a ma
ton.
"As an orator his voice has been heard

What a remarkable tribute from

men is the lowest estimate Of the war
department of the casualties sustained by
the Filipino forces; 1867 rifles have been
captured or surrendered, and 565, ,142
rounds of ammunition have been seized.
The number of Filipinos killed cannot
be accurately determined. as General
Macarthur, in his dispatches, states that
it is impossible to be accurate on this
point. 1t would not surprise officials
should the Filipino fatalities reach 25,-
600 and some say. that $4,000 is closer~to
the real figures. Adjutant General Cor
bin is satisfied that the casualties suf-
fered by the insurgents will form po-
tent reason for the abandonment of fur
ther resistance by the natives.

EVERY DAY Bet
TIERS SITUATION
GREAT CHANGES WROUGHT IN
PAST SIX WEEKS.
GEN. YOUNG ON PHILIPPINES
Ind OF ORGANIZED REBELLION
WILL STILL LEAVE BANDS
OF ROBBERS.

New York, April "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Maj. Gen. S. B. M. Young, who has
just reached Washington after serving
nearly two years in the Philippines,
had this to say about conditions in the
islands:
In the six weeks that have elapsed
since 1 left the islands. importan:
changes have been wrought, so that
am unable to say accurately just what
the situation is in Luzon now. 1 do be-
lieve, though, that the capture of Aguin-
aldo will have beneficial effect and no
doubt strong tendency to bring about
peace and order. Some Of the leaders
will probably come in and surrender, as
see small bands are doing from day
to day. 1t is impossible to say what
such men as Alejandrino and Santos will
do. They may decided to follow Aguin-
aldo's example and again they may be
ambitious and desire to become leaders
in his stead. Alejandrino, who has been
spoken of as Aguinaldo's possible sue
cessor, is an able and intelligent Fill
pino, but I understand that his COM
mand is well scattered and small. Cen
eral Tino is the Filipino leader in north
crn L.uZOn and is quite active. I'm ies'
him are perhaps 5000 men, with more or
less loose and disconnected organization,
divided into guerrilla bands, who dro,
on quartermaster and cOmmissary sup
ply trains accompanied by small parties.
They never fight in the open and take
to the mountains when force of Amer :
ican soldiers appears.
Even if all the leaders do come in
and surrender, there will remain small
organized bands for some time to come,
which will cause trouble. I am not in
favor Of reducing the military force In
the islands below the 10000 limit. We
will need fully this number to maintain
peace. Had not General Trias surren-
dered before the capture Of Aguina'do
he would no doubt have been selected as
the Filipino leader and made an effort t.
continue the insurrection."

RICH PLACER DIGGINGS.
Stampede in Idaho Over a Rich Find
of Gold.

Tekoa WASH. April S.-There is intense
excitement here over the discovery of
rich placer diggings on Santa creek.
about 25 miles east of here, in Idaho. Men
left here at all hours last night to stake
claims. Others are rushing in from
Pennington and other points. in the Pa
louise. The discovery was made by Ty-
sons brothers, three farmers, in gulch
which runs into Santa creek, about eight
miles west of the creeks confluence with
the ST. Mary. From a piece of ground 40
by 10 feet, they took out $SO8 in coarse
gold. Their appliances We're crude and
it is estimated that they got less than
third of the gold as the bedrock was
not cleaned at all. The new camp is
on the divide between the HoodoO dis
tlict and the Occur dAlenes. 1t is said
several million dollars was taken out of
the Hoodoo district In early days.

VENEZUELA
FEELING SAFE
U. S. DOES NOT DARE TO BOM-
BARD THEIR CITIES.
BECAUSE OF COMPLICATIONS
WITH OTHER NATIONS-THEIR
COURTS ARE ExAsPERAT-
INGLY SLOW.

San Juan, PR. April 3.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated press. .)-Senor
AV1la Blanco, consul at San Juan for
Venezuela, who was interviewed yester-
day by a representative of the Associated
Press, said he had no official comnlu-
nlcation regarding the withdrawal of
the American minister from Caracas, but
In view of the strained relations between
his country and the United States he
readily believed the report to be true. Te
did not think, however, that the formai
withdrawal of their respective ministers
necessarily presaged a war between the
two countries.
The whole difficulty, Senor Blanco
thought, lay in the delay Of the vene-
zuelan court in reaching a decision n
the controversy of the asphalt CON-
panies. The courts, he said had the mat
ter under consideration, and it was not
the custom of Venezuelan courts to rem
der a decision hurriedly. AS regards
demonstration against the republic,
Senor Blanco said he hardly thought this
probable. In either of the Venezuelan
free ports there We're such heavy foreign
interests that any bombardment might
cause international complications. AS to
the outbreak of any serious revolution,
Senior Blanco said he did not think such
an occurrence at all probable.
Charles M. Boerman. an American
lawyer practicing in Ponce. came to San
Juan last week to secure a license to
act as a notary. He was obliged to re-
turn to Ponce without the license, the
court hesitating to accept his bond be-
cause Mr.. Boerman happened to be. IN
American citizen. The law says that any
citizen Of Porto Rico who qualities may
become a notary public. The question
whether Mr.. Boerman, an American citi-
zen, is also a citizen Of Porto Rico, is Il
matter for the attorney general, Mr..
Harlan, to decide, the court having re-
ferred the question to him. The matter
is of considerable interest and the dc.
cision is anxiously awaited.
1t is curious that while the United
States supreme court is celebrating
with the question of whether Porto
Ricans are citizens of the United States,
the reverse, the question of whether an
American is a citizen of Porto Rico,
should also be under discussion.
