Looking hack over the long line OF ma

any evidence that any one of them In

until times comparatively recent. Take.
for instance, the doings Of the last ten
presidents. beginning with Abraham
Lincoln. In point of fact, the four sum

House were so well filled with the storm
and stress OF war that he had no time

Resort to Lowest Dives-Are Fleeced by
Scoundrels and Nearly Ruined.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Brig. Gen.
Frederick Funston in his annual re-
port of the department of the Colo-
rado, points out that the percentage
of trials by court martial of enlisted
men has nearly doubled during the
past year. Upon this point the gen.
eral says:
1T is therefore plain that there
has been deplorsble increase of
offenses IN general and OF desertion
in particular. In my opinion there
are two principal causes for this
state of affairs; first, resentment to
unaccustCmed limitations and re-"
strictions felt by men returning from
felA service to the monotony and
routine work of garrison life; second,
the abolition of the canteen feature
of the post exchange. Since this
action was taken saloons of the low
est type have been established just
outside the boundaries Of the various
reservations; their proprietors are,
in almost every case, unprincipled
scoundrels who leave nothing uudone
to debauch the soldiers and obtain
their money. Being in all case out
side the limits of any city, the pro-
prietors of these resorts are subject
to no municipal police regulations
and sell liquor regardless of hours
and whether the buyer is already
intoxicated or not Gambling is
universal in these dives and they are
frequented by desolste women. The

AS q rule the local authorities re
gard the existence of these places
with Indifference or approval as it
causes the soldier to spend his
money in the community. The etfici
ency of the army or the ruin of a
good soldier is nothing to them.
There can be no reasonable doub:
that most of the trials by general

c ,ncerned, are directly traceable to

A CENSUS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Order that it Be Taken Signed by President
Lakd Lanao District in Mindsnao
Excepted.

Washington, Sept, 26.-President
Roosevelt has signed the order pro
viding for the taking of a census of
the Philippines in accordance with
the terms of the Philippine act passed
at the last session of congress and
upon the certificate of the Philippine
commission that the insurrection has
been suppressed. The commissions
certificate excepts the Lake Lanao
district in Mindanao, where Moros
are in arms, as not coming within
the terms of the Philippine act, the
Moros having never taken in the
Philippine insurrection proper.
The order of the president is dated
Sept. 25. It recites the provision of
the Philippine act, which provides
that when complete peace shall have
been established and the fact certi-
fed to the president the census shall
be ordered, which shall make inqui-
ries relating to the population and
ascertain as far as possible all acts
such as taken in a census of this coun
try. In his discretiou, the president
may employ the present census bu-

NkXC SPEAKER OF rHE HOUSE.
Mr. Littlefield OF Maine, Thinks he Stands
Good Chance Of Being Elected

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Sept. 28.-
Congressman Little6eld, Of Name,
on his way to San Francisco, when
asked his opinion of the effect of the
withdrawal of Speaker Henderson
from the race in Sd Iowa district
stated that outside of the State of
Iowa ho thought there be no appre-
ciable effect, but il the State it
would have the effect of awakening
the Republicans to greater activity
than they would otherwise have ex-
hibited. He anticipated a better
showing from Iowa Republicans this
year than they made last year.
When asked of his connection
with the anti trust movement ne
would rather not say anything as to
what his measure would recom-
mend, but would say that he was
giving the matter attention every
day, and that all the speeches he was
now delivering were along the lines
he expected to follow in the measure
he has been asked by President
Roosevelt to prepare.
Asked of the rumor that he would
be a candidate for Speaker of the
House of Representatives he said
his support would come from all
parts of the country, not from the
East alone, as has been supposed.

News and Courier.

Washington, Sept. 26.-President
Roosevelt's abscess, which compelled
him to abandon his Western cam
paigning crusade, the open rebellion
against Boss Platt, in New York,
and Speaker Henderson's cowardly
retreat from the political battlefield,
have caused no end of trouble in the
Republican household. It begins
to look very much as though the
dissensions in the Republican camp
might help to bring about the much
desired harmony in the Democratic
party.
Some of the most conservative
members of the Republican party,
in private conversation, do not hest
tate to say that their party is in q
badly demorsllzed condition the
years gone BY they have depended
upon party discipline and boss
rule to overcome the widest and
most dangerous differences of opin-
ion on national issues. Just now
there appears to be no fully rec
ognized leader whom the rank and
file are willing to follow blindly and
with confidence. President Roose-
velt is making heroic efforts to play
the part, but way down under the
surface there is a feeling of uncer-
tainty and indifference among the
veteran bosses of the g. o. p, which
almost means treschery to the Roose,
velt method of administration.
The Republican party is noted for
its recuperative faculties and it may
do the ''get-together act" before sb-
solute Democratic harmouy nea7es
in sight. There is an ancient pro-
verb to that effect that those whom
the gods would destroy they first
make mad" It is evident that the
Republican managers in the West,
in New York and Pennsy ysnia are
mad through and through, aud
opportunities for treachery and re
venge are wide open all the Repub-
licsn line.

mand here there has taken place the

consent to abIndon his much talkej
of and carefully prepared Wester1
trip. He realized that some of ths
Republican bosses of the West al
we'll as those of the East objected tc
his independent and broad gauge
expressions on tariff revision and
snti-trusts. It was for that very
reason that he would have preferred
to complete his tour as originally
arranged. 1t required the earnest
pleading of Secretary Root to con-
vince him that be was taking des-
perste chance in refusing or delay
ing the relief which the operation
! performed upon his leg at Indianapo
lis promised. The tried and true
friends of President Roosevelt were
convinced that serious results might
follow further postponement of the
operation. The President protested
against any suggestion which con
templated the abandonment of his
trip. He probably imagined that
his change of program might be at
tributed to other motives by his
enemies.
After the actual situation had been
fully explained to Secretary Roo tthe
latter had q heart to heart talk with
the President, during which he said in
substance, in q playful but at the
same time impressive way: "We will
have to cut off your head to save
your leg" The expression was &C
tually made use of during the inter-
view between the President and Sec
retsry Root, and the President real
lied the force of it, and reluctantly
yielded to the inevitable.

to note how sdroitly and tactfully Sec

there were violent submarine agits-

Along the railroad from Cataaia to

was such that rails were torn up and
hurled to a great distance.
1t is reported from Modics, 81

that a hundred bodies have already

1t was during this excitement that
Secretary Cortelyou, with Senator
Beveridge, quietly lost themselves in
the crowd and found their way tc
Drs. Oliver, Cook and Jameson. Sec
retary Cortelyou briefly explained
the situation to the Indianapolis doc
tors and impressed upon them the
desire for absolute secrecy for the
time being. Fortunately two of the
doctors were members of the local
reception committee; hence no sus-
picions were aroused when Surgeon
Lung was invited to enter the car
riage with the three Indianapolis
doctors during the ride from the sta
tion to the Columbia Club. In the
meantime Surgeon Lung had an op-
portunity to explain the Presidents
condition to his medical colleagues.
So carefully was the secret guarded
that no one outside of the Presidents
immediate friends and the three
doctors knew of the operation and
the abandonment of the trip until
Secretary Cortelyou calmly handed
to the press associations copies of the
official bulletin on the subject. Even
the representatives of the Indianap.
oils newspapers, who felt as though
they should have had the first news
of the sensational termination of the
Presidential trip, admitted that Sec
retary Cortelyou is past master IN
the art of handling a delicate sub:
ject with remarkable tact and discre-
tion.
WASHED AT LAST"
While upon the operating table
the Presidential patient displayed
characteristic cheerfulness and cour-
age. In dressing the wound it was
necessary to bathe the limb repeat
edly with an antiseptic solution.
The president for time could not
understand why it was necessary to
wash his leg so many times, and
finally, when the washing process
was completed, he turned to one of
the attendants and playfully re-
marked:
"What magnificent headline this
performance would furnish for SEN
sational newspaper: Washed ut last"
Even if the surroundings had been
more serious it is doubtful whether
it would have been possible to sup
press the merriment which the Presi-
dent provoked.
A week or ten days of absolute
rest will do the President no harm
and it is expected to do him much
good. Those close to him say that
it required some great incentive to
induce him to take a short respite
