STRENUOUS WEEK
FOR THE SOLDIERS
Nearly All the National Guardsmen at
Fort Riley Are Generals and
CoioneIs.

FORT RILEY, Kan, Sept. 2s.-To-
morrow morning will open strenu-
Gus arms for all arms of the service.
The maneuyer for Monday is vaguely
described by Gen. Bates as a PROBLEM
of contact of opposing forces Of all
arms" which includes the possibility
of anything between baseball game
and general massacre. The exact
nature Of the problem to be solved is
known only to the military umpires
and to Gen. Bates, and will not be di-
vulged until the troops ~have marched
out in the morning. The commanders
will then be Informed of the nature
Of the task ahead Of them. The
browns, however, will be in the mi
nority and the blues will have the pre-
ponderating force in the field.
The officers of the national guard
are coming in rapidly, and by Tuesday
morning, when the Kansas militia will
have arrived, it is estimated that full
ly 100 officers, besides those of the
Kansas guard, will be on the ground.
So far there is but one captain among
the national guard officers, the others
being colonels or generals. The hope
lessly outranked captain comes from

CABLE COMMUNICATION
WITH MANILA SOON
Official of the Commercial Company
Fixes July A, 1908, as
the Date.

NEW YORK, Sept, 2s.-vice Presi-
dent George G. Ward, of the CONNER
cial Gable company, who arrived today
on the steamship Celtic, made the as
sertion that the United States will be
able to open up cable communication
with Manila, P. l., by July a, 1908.
Mr.. Ward says the cable is being made
in London at the rate of fifty miles a
day, or 500 miles week, and will be
finished in March.
Thomas Skinner, a director of the
company and also a director of the
Canadian Pacific railway, arrived with
Mr.. Ward. Wien Mr.. Skinner was
asked if it was true the Canadian Pa
cif1c railway would combine with. the
steamship lines Of Canada and Eng
land to form rival trust he said:
THAT is something that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the premier of Canada, who
is now in England, will have to settle
when he returns. On his arrival in
Canada it is expected that confer
ence Of the lieutenant governors of
the provinces will be held and this
question settled"

TALK OF D. B. HILL
FOR GOVERNOR
New York Democratic Delegates Seem
to Regard the Proposition
With Favor.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-Few Of
the delegates to the Democratic state
convention, which is to begin its work
here Tuesday, have arrived and those
here know little as to nominees or plat
form. Talk in this direction is halting
until the arrival Of ex-senator Hill to-
morrow morning. 1t Is generally un-
derstood that with this arrival the
situation will be materially cleared.
and while the fight over the governor
ship may go into the convention the
rest of the ticket will be named without
concerted opposition.
Never in advance Of any convention
in years has there been such a list to
select from. Several times at piazza
conferences during the day the CONVEX
sation has turned on Hill as a can
didate for governor and the proposition
seems to have found favor. 1t will be
remembered that the convention of 1894
was stampeded for him against his
wishes and protests and that the Tam
many delegation to the last national
convention also attempted what was
nearly a successful stampede for Sena-
tor Hill for vice president. There are
not enough Of the Tammany leaders
here tonight to say whether such a
programme will be attempted again.

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 2S.-Accord-
ing to reliable information received
here, the Hartman roads will extend
the st. Anthony branch to the Yellow
stone National Park and work on 1t
will begin next spring. A portion Of
and will be completed in the spring.
The inability to accommodate the
people properly at Monida, where a
stage connection is made, and the fur
ther fact that the railroad company
pays the Monida & Yellowstone Trans
portation company $40 for each pas
senger hauled from Monida to the
park and back has induced the Oregon
Short Line to extend it's road as near
to the park as it can and handle all the
business itself. The branch from Idaho
Falls to st. Anthony is thirty-six
miles long and the best and straightest
piece of railroad in the West. The dis
tance from st. Anthony to the park
line is about seventy-five miles.
1t is also the intention of the Short
Line to build large hotel at the end
of the new line. The park business this
season was, with one exception, the
largest in it's history and the fact that
Hills road enjoys virtual monopoly
thereof has induced the Hartman peo-
pie to build a direct line.

HERO SEARCHING
FOR HIS PARENTS

Pekin, Reaches Winona.

Special to The Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, Sept. 2S.-Fred L.
Howe, who ran away from his home
in Maysville, KY, and joined the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers and
went them to the Philippine islands,
is in the city in search of his parents.
Howe went through some of the hard
est of the fighting in both the Philip
pine and Chinese wars
1t was he who planted the American
flag over Pekin after both Of the reg
ular colorbearers had been shot
down. He has as many as fifty bullet
wounds on his head and body. One
bullet passed through his head, and
he is now deaf and dumb as a result OF
the injury which he sustained.
While Howe was in the Philippines
his folks moved away from Maysville
and he is now anxious to find where
they are located. He has travelled over
thirty eight states and two foreign
countries in search of them.

SECOND EXPEDITION
AGAINST MOROS
Capt. Perishins Thinks He Can Take
the Forts Easily, but the Suitans
Say Otherwise.

MANILA, Sept. 2S.-A second ex-
pedition against the Moro position at
Maciu, Island of Mindanao, left camp
Wears today. 1t is in command OF
Capt. John J. Pershing, of the Fifteenth
infantry and is composed Of a battalion
of infantry, a troop Of cavalry, three
sections of artillery and a detachment
of engineers. The engineers will con-
struct pontoon bridge and a corduroy
trail across the swamp which flanks
the land side of the Maciu forts. Rats
will probably be used to attack the
fort from the lake side. e
The sultan of Butig was made a
prisoner by the column under Cap
tain Eli A. Helmnick, Of the
Tenth Infantry, which last week
destroyed the Butig forts, but
was released. He furnished the
Americans with horses to transport
their supplies.
The sultans Of Maciu regard their
position as impregnable and have re-
fused to treat with Capt. Pershing.
Capt. Pershing is confident of his abil-
ity to capture the Moro forts without
serious losses.

was applied Clark stated that he de-
served his fate.
Mrs. Whitfield, the wife of well
known citizen, was found dead in her
home. Investigation showed that she
had been assaulted and her head was
practically severed from her body a
razor having been used. Both Whit
field and his wife were related to sew
eral of the most prominent families Of
the South and the indignation of the
populace knew no bounds. Corfnth
and the surrounding country was
secured in an effort to apprehend the
murderer, but diligent search failed to
disclose his identity. Two detectives
from Chicago were employed, but their
efforts were fruitless. Several sus-
poets were arrested, but in each case
an alibi was proved. A committee of
twelve citizens was named to continue
the search for the murderer and these
men have been very active in their
work.
Located at Last.
On Monday last 1t became known
that Tom Clark, a negro living near
here, had trouble with his wife and the
latter threatened to disclose the secret
of a crime. Officers apprehended the
woman and she told the officers of her
belief that Clark had murdered Mrs.
Whitfield. Clark was arrested and yes
terday was brought before the COM
mittee of twelve in Corinth. The negro
confessed to the murder and to num-
ber of other crimes that he had COM
mitted.
He said that several years ago he
killed two men on an excursion train
in Mississippi. He told Of an outrage
perpetrated by himself upon a negro
woman, and also the theft of $1,000
from a physician at French Camp,
Miss. Clark said that ne had never
been suspected of committing any Of
these crimes, and had covered up his
tracks in a way to deceive the officers
of the law. After hearing the confess
sion, the committee decided that the
negro should be hanged from tele-
graph pole in the street.
Clark said he deserved death, but
asked that the execution be delayed
today SO that he could have a farewell
interview with his mother and brother,
who live in Memphis. The request was
granted, and the two relatives were
telegraphed for, but it was learned
that they were in Mississippi.
Method of Execution Changed.
Meanwhile the news of the negros
arrest and confession spread rapidly
over the surrounding country, and to-
days incoming trains brought hun
dreds of people into the city to witness
the execution.
The crowds became so great that at
midday the main street of the town
was ordered cleared and the an
nouncement was made that it had
been decided to burn Clark at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon. This state
ment caused much excitement, and

into the small cavity, exposing the
bone, which was found to be slightly
affected. The presidents case has been
progressing satisfactorily, but 1t is
believed by the physicians that the
further operation made today will
hasten his complete recovery.
While none of the doctors is willing
to be quoted, they give the most posi-
tive assurances that there is not the
least cause for alarm, and say that on
the contrary there is every Indication
of a speedy recovery; that the area OF
bone affected is very slight and will not
result in any impairment of the presi-
dents limb, and that there is no EVIL
dence whatever of any matter that
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently expect that the president
will be on his feet within a reasonable
time and with his robust constitu-
ton to assist recovery, soon will be
himself again.

Slight tension or swelling which was
