The Colorado Senator So Declares Gen

Of All Enemies Of the Country-Con-
duct Of the War Most Severe.

Senator Patterson of Colorado il an in
terview regarding he situation in the
Philippines said that the reports of the
acting governor OF Batangas and Major
Gardener. Civil Governor OF Tayabas.
showed a condition Of affairs that was ap-
paliing.
These reports and the charges made
By Major Waller against General Smith
establish that most deplorable state OF
affairs exists in the Philippines" he
said. There has been simply a carnival
Of slaughter in the Islands. The army
has either demanded absolute submission
or has given no quarter.
The acting governor of Batangas. who
has a native name. and in whom. Of
course. the Philippines Commission pIs ces
implicit confidence, speaks not only Of
the terrible reduction in the population
OF the prOvince-one hundred thousand
from war. famine and disease. but says
that the result is that the confidence once
felt in the American troops has disap-
pcared and that a feeling Of hatred has
taken it's place.
The effect upon the Filipino we know
from the reports, but how brutalizing
must be the murder ard arson committed
by American soldiers upon the soldiers
themselves,
General Bells orders regarding the
conduct OF the war in southern LuzOn
shows that every man should be cCnsid-

that he was actively friend. This was
a license TO the American troops sent out
on expeditions to kill ard burn. Thirty
days ago l could not have believed that
American soldiers would act as these re-
ports show. II seems to me some remedy
should be applied. but I am fearful that
nothing viii be done.
1t is the purpose Of the Senate Phil

W OF WATER IN UNDERGROUND COURSES

A recent and interesting development
in the work of the division Of hydro
graphy Of the United States Geological
Survey is the study OF the flow Of water
underground. In many localities the
water which finds its way beneath he
surface. as for example in the sands and
grayels Of dry river beds or the seepagc
from irrigated lands in the West is Of
considerable economic value. but little
has hitherto been known regarding its
speed and the manner of its flow. Durag
the last season the Geological Survey has
been engaged ia q series OF preliminary
studies under Prof. G.. s. SIichtcr. OF the
University of Wisconsin. of The undcrtiOw
in the sands Of the Arkansas River. The
method Ct investigation IS entirely new.
Two test wells are driven and electrically
connected. Into the upstream well is
placed an clectrOlyte, or dissolvGble sub
stance, which affects he electric current
This electrolyte enters the underground
water at the first well. and gradually
passes down stream to the second in
the electrical circuit between the TWO
wells the needle OF an instrument records
its approach. and is strongly affected by
its final arrival By watching the in
creasing detection of the needle it is pos
slble 10 trace the movement CT the water
from the beginning Of the experiment and
TO study the variations Of its flow. In
the experiments on the Arkansas River
the rate OF the underfow was found TO be
from three to fifteen feet per day.
The middle division Of the Pension Of
fee is one Of the busiest sections Of the
bureau. Here are adiudicated all pension
claims from the States Of Pennsylvania.
Ohio. and Michigan. and as these three
States furnished a large quota OF troops
during the civil war. it follows that an
equally large percentage o. claims are
passed upon by the division. The middle
division is very fortunate in having as its
chief Mr. Frank A. WarEeId. who has oc-
cupied that position for over FIVE years.
Mr.. War1eld entered the Pension Oflce
as a clerk in 1881 being appointed from
Connecticut. He soon familiarized him
self with pension laws and practices by

pcricnCe Of several years rs an examiner

where his ability as an expert had
