The sun shone bright and genial,
But the wind was brisk and cool,
The ground hog, like mental,
Crept from his winter hoe
With swelled head from his three
months nap.
He saw his shadow dark,
And thought il was cruel trap
To catch him on lark.
So he ran to beat the cool breeze
And covered up his head,
For six weeks longer we must freeze,
Or stick closely to our beds.

PHILIPPINES OUTLOOK GOOD.
Never More Favorable Since Original
Outbreak, Except In Samar.
ConstabuIary Efficient.

Manila. Jan. 31.-The general out
look for pacifcation in the archipcl-
ago, everywhere outside the island Of
Samar, has never been more favora-
BILE since the original outbreak of the
Filipino insurrection than at the pres
ent time. The insurgents have been
broken up into smell bands and are
everywhere fleeing for shelter. They
surrender daily, are captured or are
killed. ai
The policy of RECOMMENDATION and
the stern measure of closing the ports
to commerce have accomplished
everything expected Of them. General
Chaffee still hopes that by the end OF
February the island of Samar alone
will remain not pacified.
Those provinces bordering on the
provinces of Batangas and Lagunain.
Southern Luzon, have been patrolleG
by the native constabulary, who have
done excellent work and who have
received the commentator of General
J. Franklin Bell commanding in those
provinces.
The members Of the United States
Philippine commission are proud of
this constabulary, which was organ
lied following their suggestion. and
the greatest care is exercised in the
selection Of officers for this force.
During the past month 81 military
posts have been handed over to the
native constabulary.
General Chaffee has taken effective
steps to make sure that there will be
no friction between the military and
civil authorities. The most positive
orders have been issued to all mill
tary commanders to cooperate in
every way with the civil authorities,
without relaxing in severity, when
they have occasion to deal with &C.
tive insurgents.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The house
yesterday passed the bill for the crea-

rary organization, July ], 1902, aud

date Of the passage of the act will be-
come eligible for transfer to other

provides for a manufacturing ceusus

OF the part his state took in the war

incidentally he referred occasionally
to the pending bill, drawing morals,

spired with them to enable them to
secure their liberty, the prisoners
were favored in their plot to escape
by a number of circumstances.
First, there was the fact that they
had been reprieved by Governor
Stone, but for which they would have
been hanged week ago: Next was
the fact that the jail attendants do
not carry revolvers.
Another circumstances that favor
ed them was the practice of the night
clerk OF going inside the cell tiers
carrying his keys. t...
1t is expected that the escape viii
be followed by the resignation tf
Warden Soffel, although he has the
sympathy of the officials and or the
entire community, and 1t is recognized
that the treachery on the part OF his
wife was he last thing against which
ne could have been expected to take
any precautions. -

4 BIDDLBS FREED.


through her. were hunting the wav
to liberty. For two hours on Wednes-
day afternoon, from O'Clock until
after 5, she stood by the cells of the
men while they sawed at their bars.
1t is regarded as practically GER
tain that this was the time at which
the most important part Of the prep
arations for the escape were made.
The cells were located side by sids,
being the first two In tier B, known
as "murderers' row." She could
stand there and talk to both the mu.-
derers at once
During the many talks with the
condemned men, it is now certain
that Mrs. Sofel furnished them with
Information regarding everything
about the Jail. She is said to have
talked with them not less than Is
times.
While she was with them on
Wednesday is regarded as being the
time when the bars were sawed out
of the cell doors. as an inspection of
the cells and the prisoners had been
made only a day or two before.
Sawed Out Pieces of Bars.
Pieces of four bars were sawed out
OF the door of Edward Biddle's cell
at the bottom and three out of the
cell Of his brother Soap was used
to deaden the sound of the saws On
the iron, and while the men worked
Mrs. Soffel stood near them to dis.
tract any possible suspicion.
Mrs. Soffel was the only person who
was ever allowed to go near the Bid
dies. except the keepers. She obtain
ed this permission by pretending 20
her husband that she was inducing
them to become religious and posi-
bly, saving them from eternal punish
ment, after they should have pail
the penalty If the law.
Friends OF the woman have no
doubt that was the way it began, and
entertain the charitable belief that
her mind was unhinged by period
of illness through which she recently
passed.
Still another charitable superstition
that is entertained is that Edward
Biddle cunningly contrived to con-
vince her that he and his brother
were both innocent of the Kahney
murder, and made her believe it was
her duty to save them from paying
the death penalty, no matter at what
cost to others.
Some two or three weeks ago Mrs.
Soffel was the victim of what was at
the time denounced as an outrageous
publication. A morning newspaper
told of her frequent visits to thu Bid
dies and of presents of fruit and aow-
ers which she made to them.
This angered Warden Soffel, and
believing that some one in the Jail
was responsible for the article, he
served notice upon his subordinates
that his wife had his full confidence
and that she was to- be allowed to go
and come among the prisoners as
freely as she chose.
