REBUILDING WEST POINT
Academy Appropriation Bill Carries
S3,000,000 for Work.

Washington, April 15.-The house
committee on military affairs COM
pleted consideration OF the military
academy appropriation bill and or
dered it reported to the house. AS
agreed to, the bill carries $3, ,324,
against 1864, 3O6 for thel current year.
The large increase is due to a pro-
vision for the eXtensive.alteration and
improvement of the grounds and
buildings at West Point.
The total cost of these improvements
is fixed at So, 800, 600, of which So, 900,
900 is appropriated in:the bill. These
extensive improvements, and enlarge
ments of the buildings are made nee.
essary by the increased number of ca.
diets now authorized by law.
The principal items in this proposed
improvement are a new steam heating
and electric lighting plant to cost
81 ,329, 900; new quarters flor married
officers, building for unmarried of
fcers, additional barracks for cadets,
new academy building, new riding
hall, enlarged gymnasium, etc.

Democratic party has called county
convention to meet in lola Tuesday
May 10. The primaries of the conven-
tion will be held the Saturday or
Monday preceding this The call was
decided upon by the commmittee at a
meeting last Saturday in this city.
AS the opposition gets into battle
line it will be interesting to find if the
positive statements made some time
ago that straight-out Democratic
ticket will be put in the field was hot
air, or genuine determination. The
Populists will undoubtedly issue a call
for convention at the same time, or
nearly so, and then messengers bear
ing flags of truce, promises and sweet

PLENTY OF EVIDENCE
Plain Facts Against the Big Beef
Combine

Kansas City April 16 II, as is Inov
expected, the federal grand jury for
the Western district of Missour
makes an investigation, it ought to be
able to easily find enough facts to con.
vince it, not only that there is beei
trust, but that it is taking advantage
OF the present abnormal condition in
the live stock market to.grind both the
rich and the poor. 1t will find, If it
pursues its inquiries far enough and
it need not go very far for this-that
the beef trust, instead Of bearing its
fair share af the burden imposed upon
the butchers, restaurateurs, hotel and
boarding house proprietors, and the
public generally, by the extreme scar
city Of live stock, is wringing from
them proportionately larger profits
than it was making one year ago,
when conditions we're normal.
For evidence that there is a combine
on beef, it will not have to go further
than the nearest butcher in Kansas
City. The butchers all say that Mon.
day was the first business day Of the
week for eighteen months when the
packers did not issue price lists, the
figures on which we're identical with
each other. A salesman for one of the
biggest houses in the city tells how
these price lists are prepared. He
declares that the sales agents of the
packers meet every week and agree
upon a scale of prices for the next
week. Any packer who cuts any of
the prices thus decided upon is SUBJ
ject to fine. If it is suspected that any
one of them has been cutting prices
they have an arbitrator who is author
lied to go over the books for the
purpose of determining whether
the suspicion is we'll grounded
1t appears, therefore, that the grand
jury ought to experience no great
difficulty in ascertaining that a COM
bineexists or of finding out the means
by which it maintains itself. But a
combination, "in the sense in which
the word is here employed, is defined
as "secret agreement for the pur-
pose of committing fraud" To deter
mine whether the beef combine has
been abusing it's power will occasion
the grand jury somewhat more Itrou-
BILE, probably; but it can make this
point reasonably clear if it will cause
its Investigations to extenar denfough.

ANOTHER SURRENDER
Malvar has Been Givenup to General
Bell

Washington, April 16.-The war de-
partment received the following today
from General Chatfee: 1.-THE uncon-
ditional surrender of Malvar today
to General Franklin Bell termin ates
the organized resistance to the United
States department of the northern
Philippines"
By scrpps-McRae Press Association.
Washington, April l6.-General
Chatfee cables that an expedition of
twelve hundred men under Colonel
Baldwin, accompanied by cavalry and
artillery are being prepared to start
the 9th against certain Moro Datos.
Last month the Moros attacked a
small detachment of American troops
and two weeks ago six Moros appar-
emily friendly, approached two Ameri-
can soldiers and killed one taking his
rifle. The other escaped badly
wounded.
ChafTee's cable says: Demand will
be made for the surrender of the mur-
derers. Thus far the Datos have re-
fused to deliver them. The expedition
now forming will take every care to
not bring on a general war with the
Moros. About Lake Lano is the OBJ
jective point of the expedition.
1t is absolutely important that our
authority shall be respected. have
so informed the Datos by letter.
also stated that my purpose was to
punish only those giving otfense and
that the government claims the right
TO explore the country. The accom-
plshment of this object necessitates
the retention of the seventeenth infan.
try two months longer. My belief al
the present time is that the large ma
jority of the Datos will not support
those implicated in the murder"

MORE MOISTURE NEEDED
The Rainfall this Year is Far Below
the Average.

Kansas City, April 15.-Part of Kan
sas is getting rain today, but Missouri
is not so fortunate. Neither state has
anything to boast of and while the
weather observer will not take the re-
sponsibility for making the statement
that it will take the conditions which
produce tornadoes to make corn this
year, his own figures and statements
lead to that conclusion.
The April showers have been so de.
ficient this year that the first of the
month shows a deficiency of .S2 of an
inch from the average rainfall. There
should he good rains in April, not
necessarily heavy, long rains, but
frequent good showers with plenty of
water. They may come later, but the
signs of an early Easter bringing an
early spring and all other traditions
that some people and most people
laugh at, have pointed to an early
spring. But the early spring has not
been a success. The earth is cold and
dry and only the surface has been wet
by the few rains that have fallen this
spring.
Will present conditions continue?
The United States weather bureau
does not make long range predictions.
Observers are not allowed to make
them and all that can be made are
mere guesses. But it is no guess to
say that from now forward there must
be more moisture or there will be a
shortage in the wheat crop and danger
to the corn crop. OF course, dry
May could be followed by wet sum.
mer, as happened in 1877, but in that
year there were parts of Kansas where
the corn crop matured badly and much
of it was not fit to store. There is
enough surface moisture now to start
the new crops, but there is not enough
in the subsoil to keep them growing in
the event of the clouds failing to do
their duty at regular intervals.

WALLER DID NO MURDER
The Manila Court Stood II to 2 For
Acquittal.

Manila, April 14-Major Lyttleton
w. T. Waller, of the marine corps,
accused of ordering natives on the
island of Samar TO be killed without
trial, has been acquitted, The court
stood IL to in favor of Waller.
Waller admitted that he had or
dered the deaths of eleven men, but
pleaded mot guilty" of murder.
Lieutenant Day, who was accused
with Waller, testified that a conspir-
acy to ambush and murder the Ameri-
cans existed. The party had been
without food other than roots and
fruits, and were in a desperate condi-
tion. The leader of the native guides
was known to be traitor. Waller
denied that the men had been tor
tured. He said the men were killed
because they weretraitors and because
the condition of the column demanded
a strict enforcement of what the wit
ness believed to be military law.

OKLAHOMA REGULATORS
Colored Woman is Ordered to Leave
the Country.

Guthrie, o. T., April 15.---A short
time ago a decision was made by the
interior department at Washington
awarding to Helen Bonner, colored,
the possession of a valuable section
of land in Cleveland county, Okla
homa. Her contestant for the land
was white man and since the de-
cision of the department was made
known trouble has been brewing.
Last night mob of fifteen white men,
all masked, entered her home, took
her son outside, gave him fifty lashes
and ordered his mother to leave the
place within fifteen days or her life
would be in danger. Today the mat
ter was brought before the governor,
who took immediate action by order
ing the sheriff of that county to see
that the outrage was not repeated.
He told the county attorney to use ex-
treme measures to apprehend and
punish the perpetrators and called the
attention of the entire affair to the
presiding judge of that district. On
account of the attempt being made to
disposess the woman of land awarded
her by the government, the federal
authorities have also taken up the
matter and state they will send the
perpetrators TO the penitentiary.
