The pension appropriation estimates for the year are more than s5.000. .OG0 less than for the last twelve months, al though the number of pensioners has increased. This is explained by nearly all the arrearages having been paid and by the exhaustion of cases in which the large pensions were al
 lowed. Commissioner Evans, in his recent report, said that the high-water mark in pension disbursements had been reached and the official estimates now prove it. It is not expected that there will be an immediate decrease to any great extent. The belief rather is that for some years the pension list will remain around the present figures S13S, ,OC0. 600, and that the shrinkage will then begin with accelerating rapidity.

In Senator Hoar's speech on the Philippine situation he once more ex-
 pressed doubt of the LAWTON genuineness of the all AGAINST legged letter from Gen HOAR. eral Lawton in which
 Lawton took the anti imperialists" to task for being largely responsible for the prolongation Of hostilities. There is no one," Sena- tor Hoar declared. who can tell whether General Lawton said that. or whether it is a forgery" and this has brought out from John Barrett, to whom the letter was written, the doc ument in full so far as it pertains to the quotations in controversy. The letter had been forwarded to Mrs. Law ton at Louisville, Kentucky, he think ing she might value it highly.
 In view of the great affection in the people of Arizona, whom he served so well in the final suppression of the Apaches, the letter will be looked upon as the last message from a very dear friend. The part that has caused the doubts of the senator follows:
 PersonaD Manila, P. l., Oct. 6, 1899 Hon. John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, Review of Reviews, New York City: My Dear Sir l agree with you that mistakes have been made here, but I would to God that the whole truth of this whole Philippine situation could be known to everyone in America. I wish our people could know it as I know it anc you know it. for I regard you as the best informed and most impartial au- thority on all these Asiatic questions. and I think the president made a mis- taken in not naming you member of the Philippine commission.
 I agree that if the real facts in con nection with the history, inspiration and conditions of this insurrect tion, and the hostile influences. local and exter- nal. such as the Capipunan and juntas, that now encourage the enemy. as well as the actual possibilities of these Philippine islands and the people and their relations to the great east. which you have set forth so ably, could be understood a home in America. We would hear no more political talk of unjust shooting of government into the FeilipEos or unwise threlts of haul ing down our flag in the Philippines.
 You are right. Sore of us have modified cur views since we first came and if the so-caIled anti-imperialists of Boston would honestly ascertain the truth on the ground here, and not in

When Senators Tillrnan and Me Laurin of South Carolina sent their resignations to the governor of that state after q campaign quarrel. the governor refused to accept" the res ignations. although 1t is very doubtful whether he had an option in the prem ises. Some of the best lawyers in the United States senate hold that the seats of these senators are vacant. There is a strong element in the, South Carolina legislature which takes the same position. and a special dispatch from Columbia states that a resolution will be introduced in the legislature de- claring both seats vacant and propos- ing an immediate election to fill the vacancies. It is explained that this is the plan of the most radical mem bers who are opposed to the republica n leanings of McLaurin and the populism of Tillman. It is hardly probable that Tillman could be defeated for re-elec- tion, but the mere fact that opposi- ton to his tyrannical rule has developed is q promising sign for South Carolina.

HEROES OF FAITH
The First of Series of Sermons by
 Rev. Lewis Halsey.

At the Baptist church last evening the Heroes of Faith" The serman was especially addressed to the Whatsoever Circle of the Kings Daughters, and the theme vas Deborah. the Woman Who Dared whose faith defeated the enc mics of Israel. She was chosen ruler of her people, who for twenty years had been oppressed by the king of Canaan. She sent for the commander in chief of the armies of Israel and commanded him to assemble ten thou sand men on Mount Tabcr. He replied that he would go if she would accom- pany them. She answered, as Josepnus records, Thou, O Barak, delivereth up meanly the authority God hath given thee into the hands of q woman; {; neither do l reject it.
 On the plain of Esdraelon. the great Battlefield of Jewish history. the host of Canaanites, under Sisera, with 900 chariots of iron. was drawn up in battle array. Deborah. on the summit of Mount Tabor gave the signal Of battle and the little band. led by Barak. rushed down upon the host of the enemy. At this instant a terrible storm of sleet and hail dashed itself into the faces of the Canaanites. The stars in their courses fought against Sisera." The stream Kishon, fed by mountain torrents. burst over it's banks and swept away the Canaanites with it's flood. sisera, their captain. fled from bis chariot to be slain by q woman. Then Deborah jed the army of Israel in a psalm of rejoicing.

 It is kind of you to caution me about exposure under fire; but if I am shot by a Filipino bullet it might well come from one of my own men. These lare strong words, and yet l say them because I know from my own observa- ton. confirmed by the stories of cap tured Filipino prisoners, that the con tinuance of the fighting is chiefly due to reports that sent out from America and circulated among these ignorant natives by the leaders, who know better
 This letter. which, of course, is strictly personal. does not answer all your questions. but it is a long one for me, as l want to encourage you in your labors to make the truth known. Hope I shall see you out here soon in some high civil position. We soldiers need practical men like you to help us. Thanking you again for your kind words in praise of my humble efforts, I am, yours very truly,

William P. Stead, the London jour nalist. declares that England will some day be an American island. The proph- ecy is attracting some attention, but it's only what Ben Fraklin told the English over a hundred and twenty five years ago. That shrewd philoso- pher pointed oLt to them that if they gave America her rights in parliament the time would certainly come when the seat of government would have to be changed from the Thames to the Potomac, for on any equal bases of representa- ton the number of delegates of America would far exceed the num- Der from England. What he thought might be accomplished by means of politics, bids fair now to be achieved by trade. We are gradually overshad- owing the English in manufaotu and are already reaching out our hands for the carrying trade. The comple- tion of the Nicaraguan canal will give the United States q still greater i'm petus in this direction. The mone- tary center of the world is shifting from Berlin and Paris and London to New York, where the operations in finance are already so gigantic as to The time is indeed coming when Great Britain will be an American island.

The proposed improvement sof the Colorado river below Yuma is a mat
 ter of sufficient im- COLORADO portance and merit RIVER to call for the ap- IMPROVEMENT. proval of congress.
 The people of Yuma and especially the settlers between that town and the Mexican line, for some time have been agitating the question of q levee on the Arizona side of the river. The levee is needed primarily to protect fertile agricultural lands from overflow, but it would also greatly improve the navigation of the river. Citizens of that community have laid the subject before Delegate Smith and Governor Murphy, and they will make an effort to obtain an appropriation for the much needed work. Delegate Smiths bill. which has been referred to the committee on rivers and har- bors, seems to cover the requirements. It reads:
 Be it enacted, etc, That the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated. out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appro- priated, for the purpose of constructing levee on the Arizona side of the Col orado river. south of the town of Yuma. to confine the waters to the channel of said river, to improve the navigation thereof, and also to effect ually prevent the overflow of said stream on the irrigable lands lying along the Arizona side thereof and ad- jacent to said stream.
 Sec. ?. That the secretary of war is hereby directed to cause said levee to be erected in such manner as will best subserve the purposes aforesaid. and that said work be accomplished at the earliest practicable time.
 This is the first time we believe, that Arizona has asked for any of the pork of the appropria for rivers and harbors, and to many members of congress it will doubtless be a sur prise to learn that Arizona has nav igable river, and that the time has arrived for it to receive consideration at the hands of the government, but there is every reason why the pro- posed improvement should receive their approval. Every rivers and harbors bill provides for the improvement of a multitude of creeks and rivers of which a large number could be lost in the mighty Colorado. So long as it is the policy of the government to inn prove every waterway of the slightest importance. the people of Arizona have right to expect that their claims for a much more meritorious project will have congressional sanction. Annually large expenditures are made for the construction and maintenance of levees on other rivers, and no reason can be suggested why the Colorado should not be included. now that the lands yearly inundated have become very valuable.
