OLD WAR DEBT CLAIM.
Discovery Made That S17,soo Is Due to
the State of Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April ls-Accord-
ing to a letter received last night from
Winslow. Lanier g. Co. New York bank
ers, by Attorney General Taylor, Indiana
has valid claim for sl7, 800 more war
debt
The bank has discovered on its books
evidence that in 1861, by order of Presi-
dent Lincoln, Gov. Oliver p Morton, OF
Indiana. was paid $3.50 900 in United States
notes. as part settlement of the loans the
State had made to the Government in the
equipment of troops The credit of the
Government at that time was such that
when II came TO cashing the notes, only
1882 000 was realized. This claim for dis
count viii probably be allowed, Mr. Tay-
lor thinks, as similar discount claims on
other items were allowed last week by
Comptroller Tracewcll.
This claim will be presented al once,
along with another for s25. 000 which
arises from Governor Morton having bor-
rowed that amount from county commits
sioners. cities, and other sources during
the days of financial stringency. He has
no doubt that this, also, can be proved,
and will be allowed

REUNION OF DISTRICT
AND ALEXANDRIA

distinguished President, the location, plan,
and success of the Capital may be justly
ascribed. 1t Will be 4 deserved tribute
and honor to his memory TO restore the
original and proper limits surveyed and
established under his personal direction
Regarding the fitness OF the proposed
resolution. the Supreme Court has decided
that the question is oognizatle only in a
case between the United States and the
State of Virginia, and cannot be adiudi-
Gated between other parties If the court
decides Congress did not exceed its con-
stitutional powers in ceding part Of the
seat OF government to Virginia the con-
troversy ends. If the court decides, how
ever, Congress exceeded its powers, the
jurisdiction Of Congress. the courts. and
Commissioners of the District will thence
forth extend over the entire ten miles
square.
The people of Alexandria county gen
orally favor a restoration of the original
District. Virginia docs not wish to lose
more territory. The United States paid
s20,000,000 to Spain fer lot of foreign
islands and proposes to ray $5,000,0O0 to
Denmark for three little tropical islets,
so it may not be unjust to contribute
81 600 eco toward the debt of the mother
of States if Alexandria county is re-
stored to the National Government.
The Capital, the seat OF general gov
ernment, is important, however, not only
to the people in Washington, and in Vir-
ginia, but its preservation, its size, and
location and its welfare, are rights of
and affect the people of the entire nation
The Interest," of the people, from the At
lantic TO the Pacific, and from Canada to
the Gulf and the detached territory,
should be fully and justly considered in
the action on the proposed resolution.
1T may be urged, Why disturb a con-
dition of disme mberment of the seat of
government established for over fifty
years? In reply, it may be justly stated
there is no progress of civilization. or
improvement of any description. that does
NOT disturb existing conditions within
lawful limits. If the object OF the reso-
luton is desirable for the Government
and for the citizens directly and indirect
ly interested, if it is entirely within the
powers and limitations OF the Federal
Constitution. and if the resolution is ap-
propriate to the subject matter, 1t. should
be adopted.

FIGHTING THE PLAGUE
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Chief Surgeon Maus Waging
War Against Rats.
Intelligent Efforts Being Made by Army
Surgeons to Stamp Out the
Dread Disease.

private letter recently received in
Washington gives some new and inter-
esting details concerning the energetic
and intelligent efforts that are being sue
cessfully made by the army surgeons TO
stamp out the bubonic plague wherever
1t may appear in the Philippines The
work has been thoroughly systematiZed
by DR.. Louis NJ. Maus, chief surgeon on
the staff of Major General Chaffee. at
Manila, and it is predicted that the meth
DDS employed by DR.. Maus in fighting the
bubonic plague and cholera at Manila and
other points in the Philippines where
those frightful diseases haye appeared
will soon be adopted with good results in
India and throughout the Orient.
Rat Traps in Use Everywhere.
On the subject of DR.. Maus' excellent
work the writer of the letter says:
The awful bubonic plague from which
hundreds have died every day in many
cities of China and India) made its ap-
pearance in Manila last October. Dr.
Maus at once had rat traps set in every
section of the city and surrounding dis
tricts. Each trap had on IL the number
of the house and name of the street. The
rats that were caught were brought to
the headquarters of the Health Board
and killed, and their blood was examined
under the microscope. In every case
where germs of the plague were found
the house from which they were brought
was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected
More than a thousand houses have been
cleaned for this cause. About eight hun
dreds rats a day are examined. About
twenty thousand rats III all have been
killed in this way; besides, many thou
sands have been poisoned. DR.. Maus has
vlccinated the poor in Manila at the rate
of ten thousand a week for smallpox and
the plague. As result. there have been
only seven cases of the bubonic plague
in Manila since last October"
Tours of Inspection.
The letter goes on to say that DR..
Maus, as president of the health board
the practical and. effective method for the
eradication of the bubonic plague through
out the archipelago. He has a steam
boat constantly at his disposal and in
this he makes tours of inspection TO all
the islands. In consequence of his watch
full care and attention the health OF the
Philippines is becoming noticeably bet
ter, and as soon as he can extend his
methods of sanitation and prevention to
all the principal ports Of the archipelago
it is confidently believed that the bubonic
plague will be completely driven from
the Philippine Islands.
DR.. Maus has been the chief surgeon
at Manila for nearly three years, and
has made himself thoroughly familiar
with the work at hand. He served with
marked credit TO himself and the IGedi-
cal department of the army generally as
chief surgeon of the Seventh Army Corps,
which. under the command of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee. occupied Havana province for
seven months after the close of the war
with Spain The record he made in Cuba
caused him to De sent to Manila.

WHEN THE PRESIDENT
APPEARS ON HORSEBACK
Crowds Witness His Depar-
ture for. a Ride.
1mpromptu Procession Of Carriages and
Autos a Feature of Friday
Afternoons Ovation.

When President Roosevelt rode out Of
before his departure for New York
for his regular canter in the country,
he found an unusually big crowd of people
waiting to see him go by. There were
fully 200 men, women and children in the
gathering, not including those who oc
cupied a score of wheels, hacks, buggies
and automobiles Every day a group
gathers at the gate from which the Pres
ident emerges when he goes on his horse
back rides, but it rarely contains more
than fifty people. 1t may have been due
to the fine weather, or it may have been
due to the fact. that there is big crowd
of visiting brides and grooms in town,
but whatever the reason the assemblage
of curious ones outnumbered the average
similar gatherings four to one.
The President was accompanied on the
ride by Maj. Gen. Samuel B. Young,
of the army, who commanded the brigade
in which the Rough Riders were included
at Las Quasmas. where Capt. Allyn K.
Capron, Sergeant Hamilton Fish, the
New York society youth. and a number of
others of the Presidents regiment were
killed
When the President had responded to
the salute ofsthe spectators and thought
that the ordeal was over, the drivers and
motormen of the vehicles started ahead
and formed a double line around Mr..
Roosevelt and his companion. In this
way the President was escorted up the
street between the White House grounds
and the Navy Department.
When Pennsylvania Avenue was reached
the brides and grooms in the automobiles
and the other people in the horse-drawn
vehicles reluctantly withdrew from the
procession and let the President and Cen
eral Young go their way in peace
