IN PHILIPPINES.
Arrangements for Burial in Arlington
Cemetery and Elsewhere-Cir-
cular of Interest

The officers of the quartermaster's de-
partment are making arrangements for the
interment of the remains of 1853 soldiers
who lost their lives in the Philippines.
These remains are being brought to this
country on the transport Sumner, last re-
ported at Port Said. and are expected to
arrive at New York about the middle of
November 1t is expected that seventy-six
of these bodies will be brought to this city
for interment at the Arlington National
cemetery That disposition of thirty-two Of
these bodies will be made at the special re-
quest of relatives or friends. These bodies
Will be inferred at Arlington Immediately
after their arrival here.
In the cases of the forty-four other bodies
to be brought to this city. nothing has yet
been heard from friends or relatives and it
Is the purpose OF the quartermaSter general
to keep these bodies in the vault at Airing
ton for period of thirty days. If not claim
ed In the meantime. they will then be given
honorable burial In the National cemetery
OF the entire number eighty-Seven bodies
have been claimed by relatives or friends

their former homes. In this list are Col

ways are involved In thegscheme. the prin-
cipal feature Of which is the building of a
line from Manila to a harbor at the north
ernmost end Of the island of Luzon. An
other line Is branch running over the
mountains to the east coast. and still an
to Batangas. The suggestion has also been
made that line be constructed along the
east coast OF Luzon from the present ter
minal OF the Manila and Dagupan road to
the north end of the island
1t is contemplated that the civil govern
ment shall aid in the construction OF these
roads by granting. rights OF way and guar
anteeing the payment Of Interest on the
capital invested In the enterprise. 1t Is held
that the civil government has authority to
guarantee the interest on the railroad bonds
by making such payments lien on the
property. Secretary Root has expressed the
belief that the construction OF these roads
would be OF immense benefit to the people
of the Philippines and would aid IN the
rapid movement of troops or constabufary
In cases Of emergency.

The remains of Capt F. NJ Kemp, assist
ant surgeon and those of Capt. Lewis McP

those to be buried in Arlington. The re-
mains of Charles H. Sprague, a newspaper
correspondent, are among those on the

been made for their interment in this coun-
try. In view of the fact that he was not in

be possible to bury him in national ceme-
terry.
Memorandum for Benefit of Relatives.
Colonel Bellinger of the quartermaster's
department, in charge of national ceme
teries, has prepared the following self-ex-
planatory memorandum for the benefit of
persons concerned:
with reference to communication from
this office some time since stating that in
accordance with your request certain SOL
der remains would be sent to your address
at public expense promptly on their arrival
by army transport etc, it Is deemed to
your interest to inform you that the United
States government maintains at both San
Francisco. Cal, and Arlington, Va. near
Washington, as we'll at other points.
large and beautiful national cemeteries for
the interment of officers and enlisted men
of the army, navy and marine corps. In
these national cemeteries are buried many
of the most prominent and honored officers
as we'll as thousands of soldiers of the late
wars; the graves are suitably marked with
white marble headstones and will be prop
erly cared for long the government
exists. They are also annually decorated,
on Memorial day, by the various Grand
Army and veteran associations.
1T will be seen, therefore. that no more
appropriate-and surely no more honored-
resting place could be provided for the re-
mains whose shipment you have requested
than in one of these national cemeteries,
for there the soldiers identity will be per-
manently preserved among the nations
honored dead.
Relatives Should Advise Department.
ITO some relatives, however, and per-
haps to many, 1t is not known that these
cemeteries are provided and maintained
at the expense of the national govern
ment for the burial of its soldier dead.
and 1t Is to lay these facts before you
that this letter is written Should you
decide to avail yourself of the advan-
tages offered and desire an interment of
the remains in the National cemetery at
Arlington or San Francisco. according to
the port at which they may arrive, you
are requested to advise this Office at once
when instructions will be given to carry
out your wishes and to have you duly in
formed of the date of interment. which
will be with military honors. and the
number of grave Such fnterment, of
course. would be at the expense OF the
department.

LOVE TRIUMPHANT.

Helen's lips are deifting dust;
Llion is consumed with rust;
All the galleons of Greece
Drink the oceans dreamless peace,
Lost was Solomons purple show
Restless centuries ago;
Empires died and left no strain
Babylon, Barbary, and Spain
Only one thing, undefaced,
Lasts, though all the worlds lie waste,
And the heavens are overturned
Dear, how long ago we learned!
There's Il sight that blinds the sun,
Sound that lives when sounds are done
Music that rebukes the birds
Language lovelier than words,
Hue and scent that shame the rose,
Wine no earthly vineyard knows,
Ocean more divinely free
Than Pacific's drainless sea,
Silence stiller than the shore
Swept by Charon's stealthy oar
Ye who live have learnt it true,
Dear, how long ago we knew!

YOUNG OLD MEN.

Septuagenarian Who Led in Art, Lit.
erature, Politics and Finance.
Much has been said during the past
few years about the Importance OF
young men as leaders in finance, indus
try and politics, and the impression
has been cultivated that only young
men were fitted to do the great work
of the world in these progressive days
But when we, take look around at the
men who are actually in the lead to-
day in literature, science, politics, re-
ligion and business we find much to
disprove this idea that old age is a sign
of weakness and inefficiency.
In our own strenuous land we have
such men as Edward Everett Hale,
Theodore Cuyler and Russell Sage still
at the forefront in multitude of ac-
tivities, although all three of them
have left eighty years behind some
time since. In the sphere of national
politics we have such commanding
figures as Senators Hoar and Hawley.
both Of whom must be plead guilty to
the age of seventysiX, while the two
illustrious Senators from Maine.
Messrs. Hale and Frye, are both men
of many years, the first-named being
siXty-siX and the other seventy-one.
Our present Secretary of State, Mr..
Hay is far from being a youthful per-
son. having sixty-fOur years to his
credit, while Secretary Wilson is older
than that by three years, and Postmas-
ter General Payne is nearly sixty.
Whitelaw Reid of the Tribune is sixty
five and Drs. James NJ. Buckley and
Lyman Abbott the veteran religious
Journalists, are over sixty-six.
If we turn our gaze abroad we find
equally strong testimony. 1t is Sir
John Afro, verging on seventy, who
has built the great Nile dam. It is
Lord Masham, verglng on ninety, who
has just appealed to the English gov
eminent to overhaul the fiscal system

! liant editor of Truth, is a man of sew.
