Operations in Philippines.

Manila Feb. 18.-General j. Franklin
Bell has practically cleaned up the in
surgents in Batangas province, hts
troops having made clean sweep of
the district. 1t is not believed that all
of the insurgent arms have been cap
tured or surrendered, but that num-
Der of them have been taken by the in
surgents to other provinces or safely
hidden. The increase of robber bands
in Tayabas and Cabite show the effects
of the drastic measures adopted in the
Batangas aid Laguna provinces. Cen
eral Bell says the people of these latter
provinces never realized the terror OF
war until they personally experienced
it's hardships, owing to the closing of
the ports and concentration of the ma
tives In the towns.

URGING CONTRACT SYSTEM.
Representative Loud Seeking to Change
Rural Delivery Methods.

Washington, Feb. 1S.--Mr. Loud.
chairman of the house committee on
postofiices and post roads. will make no
effort to get his appropriation bill be-
fore the house for consideration this
week He realizes that he has fight on
his hands, and that the opposition to
certain features of his bill promises to
be strenuous. He hopes that the Indian
appropriation bill and the war revenue
reduction bill will occupy the attention
of the house for the week. giving him
an opportunity to marshal his forces
and be prepared to start the fight for
his measure with the opening of next
weeks session.
Representatives. from the rural dis
tricts will lead the opposition to the
feature of the bill which provides for
placing the rural free delivery under
the contract system. This provision,
following closely upon the order of the
postmaster general prohibiting the re-
moval of fourth-class postmasters
without cause, is accepted by the con-
gressmen from the agricultural dis
tricas as direct blow at their liberties.
They look upon the order and the pro-
posed legislation as measures which
take from them the chief of the limited
resources at their command for curry
ing favor with farmer voters. AS soon
as the bill was reported members of the
house began framing opposition to It.,
and the subject has been the chief one
of discussion among them for several
days. Conferences were held at several
of the hotels yesterday and the word
has gone out that the contract clause
of the rural free delivery section of the
bill is to be killed IL possible.
Mr.. LIQUIDS answer will be based on
the grounds of economy. He will con-
tend that the contract system will re-
suit in very large savings to the gov
eminent and result in a better service
than can be secured from individual
employees. He will cite the efforts that
are already being made to secure an in
crease of pay for the rural free delivery
carriers. with the certainty of success
in the near future, unless the system
is placed under the contract plan, and
will predict q big deficit in the postal
revenues IL his plan is not adopted.
All the members of the house COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads
with one exception voted for the con-
tract clause of the bill.

THE scHLEY DECISION.
RooseveIt's Review of the Naval Cues.
ton In Printers Hands.

ton In Printers Hands.
Washington, Feb. Is. President
Roosevelt's review of the Schley case
has been sent to the printer, and copies
will be given to the press this week.
probably on Wednesday. The review
consists of about $500 words. or about
two printed-page columns of news
paper
While care has been taken to prevent
the prema ture publication in the press
of the presidents comments, their sub
stance is known to a number of public
men, to whom Mr.. Roosevelt has read
or outlined them. and there is general
feeling among these that all fair
minded persons Will be satisfied with
Mr.. Rooseyelt's reasoning and conclu
illusions. In this connection, it may be
said that the president has been as
sured by leaders in both houses that
the Schley case will not be taken up
by congress.
The main points covered in the presi-
dents review are Admiral Schley's
treatment of Lieutenant Commander
Hodgson and the famous loop Of the
Brooklyn. All other matters concerned
are subordinated to these. even the
question of command, on which Schley
made the principal object on his ap-
peal, being disposed of briefly. Mr..
Roosevelt regards this question as hav-
ing been settled by President Mckinley
nominating Admiral Sampson to the
senate for advancement over Schley,
and as to the contention that Schley
directed the movements of the Ameri-
can ships in the battle with Cervera's
feet, he decides that no order from that
officer to the vessels had any effect
what on the fight.

Questions of Southern Elections.


Washington, Feb. 1S.-The republican
members of the house of representa-
tives held a third caucus last night to
consider the question of southern cleo
tons. The attendance was not as nu-
merous as at former gatherings, Speak
er Henderson not attending and only
eighty-six republicans out of total of
1893 being present. This was short with
speedy and definite results. resolution
being adopted asking the house COM
mittee on rules to report a resolution
for special investigating committee of
eleven members to consider questions
relating to the Acknowledgement of vot-
ers. Representatives Cannon, of Iili-
nois, occupied the chair. 1t was agreed
at the outset that the vote should be
taken at o'clock. Representative
Dick, of Ohio, then presented the fol-
lowing resolution as a substitute for
that of Mr.. Crumpacker, heretofore in
troduced
Resolved That 1t is the sense of this
caucus that the committee on rules re-
port a resolution as substitute for
those now pending in said committee,
providing in substance that a select
consisting of eleven members whose
duty it shall be, and who shall have
complete power and authority to inves-
,igate and inquire into the validity Of
election laws and the manner OF their
enforcement in the several states, and
whether the right to vote of male in
habitants of any of the states Il years
old, and being citizens of the United
States, is denied or in any manner
abridged, except for crime, and such
committee shall report the result of its
investigation at as early date as
practicable"
After brief debate the vote was
taken. and without a dissenting vote
the resolution was agreed to. The eau
Gus thereupon adjourned. 1t was
stated by members of the caucus that
the unanimous action of eight-six
members would undoubtedly be accep-
ted by the committee on rules, notwith
standing the absence of a quorum.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING
And Exercise Solves the
Problem.

Dr.. Fl. l.. Warner, in recent issue
of the New York World, says.
"Only small percentage of the
American people have perfect diges-
tion and assimilation of food and the
elinina tion of the waste matters or
the body. In the matter of food
exercise, the whole problem of health
is contained. By making these right,
we can create perfect health
Digestive disturbances are due eth
er to improper food or too much or too
little proper food. With proper food ta
ken in reasonable amounts the imper-
feet actions of the various processes
are corrected.
This Is not a fad, but fact estab-
lished by the researches of pathology
lists and 'bacteriologists. The action
of foods on the digestive and assimi-
lative organs is known exactly. The
result to the blood and through it to
the whole system is certain and def
nite."
The most highly nutritive food now
manufactured is Grape:Nuts. It's made
from certain parts of the grain and
put through mechanical process
whereby the starches are changed to
grape sugar and the pbosphates of the
cereals retained and thus supply the
necessary nourishment and vitality to
the body, brain and nerve oenters.

with the delicate sweet of the grape

Rev. Mr.. Willard spoke on "The
Pastors Highest Ambition--Not Yours
but YOU" The text, II Seek Not
Yours, But You," was the same one
from which he preached his first ser.
mon in Grace Reformed church in
July, 1901. He said in part:
"This text shows us the grandeur
of the Christian ministry for the
preacher, the pastor, the minister
touches life and destiny at it's high
est point, which is self. 1t is great
thing to be successful physician, oil
great lawyer, or a skilled mechanic
or faithful day-laborer, but there is
nothing to compare in grandeur with
the Christian ministry.
"The minister must not be a scold
er or a grumbler but he must preach
plainly. He must hit the mark in the
congregation which hears him. The
mark before him is the self in his
hearers. Plain preaching in intended
to send people out in the world tc

PURSUED BY
THE DEVIL
Unhappy Condition Imagined by
Thomas Cart.

Parkersburg, W. Va, July III. R.
Johnson and another man last night
captured wild man ON Stinson Greek,
in Clay county, near the Braxton
county line. He was gaunt and un-
shaven, with long beard and hair, and
the little clothing he had was in tat
ters. His eyes were bloodshot and
he presented horrible appearance
and fought viciously.
The man proved to be Thomas Cart,
who escaped from the Sheriff two
months ago, while being conveyed to
the insane asylum as a violent luna
tic. He will be taken under heavy
guard to the Spencer asylum. Dur
ing the entire time of his wanderings
he lived upon roots, herbs and such
uncooked meats as he could secure
in the woods. He had wandered
through the forests all the time, avoid.
ing the roads, because, he says, the
Lord had commanded him to enter
the wilderness.
He says when he escaped 1t was
because the Lord had told him to go
to the top of hill and run and he has
been running ever since, till he is al
most exhausted He thinks the devil
is after him, and that the command
of the Lord to run Is to be carried out
literally, so as to escape his internal
pursuer One thing which has so
terrorized the people of the half dog.
en- communities in which he has wan
dered is that he believes the Lord
has commanded him to kill three
persons. And he says he always
obeys the voice In him At times
he regains his senses to a limited ex-
tent, and he has told in lucid intervals
of the sufferings he underwent while
roaming through the forests. His bed
was on the ground and his covering
was the skies. His food was herbs
and bark, and all the time he was
fleeing from the red devil that was
always pursuing him. He says he
knows now that he is crazy, and is
willing to go to the asylum. His old
friends fled in terror from the horri-
ble-iooking figure as he was taken
back to Jail.
