 Be it resolved, That we learn with sincere regret that charges affecting the integrity of Hon. R. E. Sloan have been presented to the Judiciary Com mittee of the United States Senate.

FAST DYING REVOLT.
Acting Governor Wright Says Ninsty.fve Per
Cent of the Philippines are Pacitied

Washington, March %. - Judge
Wright, acting civil governor of tine
Philippines, has written personal let
ter to General Marcus j. Wright, of
this city, which gives an interesting in
sight into the condition Of affairs in the
Philippines.
ave are so far removed from the
United States" says Governor Wright,
"that fear the people at home get
rather an inadequate idea of the situa-
ton here. The press reports OF the last
month or more, which have reached us
here, together with the comments
thereon. seem to indicate that the gen.
eral opinion is that the whole islands
are either blazing with insurrection or
else that outbreaks are prevented only
by the use of troops on an extensive
scale. This is wholly misleading. The
territory of the islands there is no IN
surrection, and Americans 90 about
sngly and unarmed, with about as
much safety As they would in large
majority oi the states at home. There
is fast-dviug insurrection in two
provinces of the great island of Luzon,
and in the remote southern island OF
Samar. Here and there in more re-
mote sections there are instances of eat
tie stealing and occasionally murder or
robbery. We are dealing very energet-
icallv with the lawless element, and
the people as Il rule are rebuilding their
houses where they have been destroyed.
"Of course, Geographic dispatches
generally deal alone in something sem
sational. | apprehend that if any one
OF us were in foreign country and re-
ceived only news OF what was happen
ing in the United States in police cir
cles we would get about the same idea
Of our own country as many OF the peo-
pie seem to have of this. AS to the
progress we have made in the last year,
it is tremendous and to me very en-
couraging. While | do not look for the
millennium either here or elsewhere
speedily, see no reason to doubt that
American authority can now be main
tanned without more troops than indi-
Gated by Governor Taft. OF course,
we must utilize the native in policing
his own country, just as has been done
by England in all her colonies from the
beginning

GUEVARRA SURRENDERS.
lukban's Influence Brings the War to an End
in the Island OF Samar.

Manila, March 20.-General Lux
bans efforts in influencing Guevarra.
who recently issued a proclamation de-
claring himself the successor OF General
LUX ban in the island of Samar, to sur
render, have been successful. Both
General Smith, in command of the
United States forces in Samar, and
Guevarra have agreed to an armistice
to facilitate the collection of Guevarra's
men with their rifles, when the formal
surrender will be made. The arms
will be paid in at the fort. General
Smith cables that Guevarra has 400
rifles, and that Guevarra guarantees
the absolute peacefulness of his men.
General Chaffee is greatly pleased
with what he considers as closing the
native insurrection. The resistance in
fatangas and Laguna provinces is prac-
tlcally over. There are daily snrrend-
ers there of men and guns. The in
surgents have been completely starved
INTO submission by General Bells ag-
gressive tactics in preventing any ex-
terror assistance from reaching them.
Some surprise is expressed at the num-
Der of rifles to be turned in by the men
under Guevarra, as it was thought
there were but 200 in Samar.

MISSOURI ICE GORGE.
River Below is Almost D'y-Dynamite Being
Used to Break Up the Jam.

Chamberlain, S. d., March 24.-An
ice gorge which has been forming in
the Missouri river at this place for
some time has reached point which
has caused the river to overflow the
lowlands for 40 miles up the river.
The ice is packed so tight that the bed
below the gorge for several miles is
almost dry. Dynamite is being used,
but without effect up to the present.
At IL O'Clock tonight the water in
the Missouri river remains about the
same as early this morning, showing a
total of II feet. A gorge has been
formed between Chamberlain and
American island, diverting the channel
to the west side of the island, where
the water and heavy run of the ice is
passing freely This is very likely to
leave the channel permanently on the
west side of the island, as with an
open channel there, no pressure exists
to clear out the gorge on the east side.

THE CHINESE REBELLION.
Marshal Su's Entire Command Has Deserted
and Joined the Rebels.

Hong Kong, March 22.-Advices
from Canton say it is credibly reported
there that the viceroy has received tele-
grams from Lung Chin, on the AMMAN
border, alleging that the whole of Mar
shall Su's troops have deserted and
Joined the rebels. If this is true, say
the advices, it adds to the revolution
lists 90, 900 foreign armed and drilled
troops, capable of defeating any force
the imperialists can raise.
The kilograms further say the country
is undoubtedly ripe for rebellion. Rob-
berries are Of frequent occurrence, the
long-continued drouth prevents the
planting of spring rice, and this has led
the farm laborers to become robbers.
Well informed persons consider a
rebellion similar to that OF the Tai
Ping probable.
