THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Fighting on a Large Scale Is Going
On

On
Last week witnessed a renewal OF
important fighting in Manchuria, al
though reports do not contain sufi-
cient details to determine whether II
developed into a great battle. For
the last few weeks activity has been
on the Russian right. but recently the
scene of the most important fighting
has been transferred to the Russian
left. II opened on Thursday and seems
to have continued with slight inter
ruptions up to the present time. There
has also been bombardments along the
greater part of the line, siege guns at
the Japanese center doing the most
execution. There have been the usual
forward and backward movements by
both armies, but none of them seem to
have resulted in the seizure Of any i'm
portant positions.
Early in the week rumors came
from nearly all of the European CAPT
tails that there had been serious dis
cussion of peace at st, Petersburg and
the news was received with approval.
But the car made the announcement
on Thursday that the war would con
tinue; that Oyama had not yet shown
that he was able to drive Kuropatkin
back. and that to yield now would
cause greater discomfort than any that
has arisen over a failure to win vic
tories heretofore.
Rojestvensky's fleet is still off the
northeastern coast Of Madagascar,
while Kamamura is said to be hover
ing near the Indian ocean. The third
Russian Baltic fleet passed Dover,

General Joe" Wheeler relates the
following amusing incident that took
place during the night of the Eel Caney
affair:
General Lawton's division was
marching back to FL Poey, there to
take up new position in the morn

Major Creighton, inspector general of
his staff. was standing at the edge Of
the road, watching his troops file past.
Just as the dawn was breaking the
colored troops came In sight. They
gave evidence of being dead tired, but
were nevertheless full OF ginger
General Lawton's attention was at
tracted to certain corporal OF the
Twenty-hfth Infantry, great six-foot
negro, who, In addition to a couple Of
guns and two cartridge belts loaded
full, was carrying a dog. The soldier

limping alongside his comrade.

THE PHILIPPINES
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
people Generally Pacifed Except
Moros Who Adhere to Polysamy
and Slavery.


Washington, Jan. 16.-The annual
report Of the Philippine Commission to
the secretary of war says that as soon
as the people came to understand that
the government had both the ability
and will to protect them, they began
to cooperate cordially with the con-
stabulary and other peace officers by
giving information against the lawless,
SO that II became possible to kill or
capture them.
AS result, the report says. not a
single organized band of ladrones is
now to be found in the island of LII
zon; nearly all the leaders save five or
six have been killed or captured, and
the same may be said of the Visayan
Islands with the exception of Samar
The commission adds that there is no
reason to suppose that orderly condi
tons will be otherwise than perma-
nent.
The relations between Americans
and Filipinos are said to be generally
cordial. with steady growth OF con-
fidence and good feeling between
them.
"All those who are justly entitled to
be called leaders of public opinion
among the Filipinos," the report says,
have definitely cast their lot with the
Americans"
Regarding the Moros. the report
says the great area OF the Moro prov
ince, which includes practically all of
the islands of Mindanao and the Sulu
archipelago, except for $4,000 Filipinos
spoken of as descendants Of convicts
sent from the north by Spaniards. is
inhabited by Moros protesting Mo
hammedanism and by other non-Chris-
tian tribes. The authority of the Sui
tan of Sulu was found, upon investiga-
tion. to be repudiated by dattos in the
Sulu archipelago who possessed as
much authority as he, although he was
the titular head OF the Moros. The re-
port says:
From time immemorial the Moros
have practiced polygamy and have
been accustomed to make raids upon
other non Christian tribes to replenish
their stock of slaves, as well as to en-
gage in piracy, while the Arabs taught
them the use of firearms. The non
Christians were only too willing to rec
ognize American authority and receive
the benefits Of protection. In num-
ber of Instances they have been in
duced to establish themselves in vii
lages and to till the adjacent soil.
They are eaid not to be lacking in In
telligence."
IN speaking Of the abrogation Of
the treaty with the Sultan Of Sulu the
report says: while 1t had never been
recognized as valid and binding, and
as to the provision relating to slavery
had been repudiated by the President.
still it had been lived up to by the
Americans in every particular. includ-
ing the payment Of annual subsidies
to the Sultan and his principal dat
tos, but 1t had been systematically and
persistently violated by them"
The report says that a pacific pol
icy toward the Moros seemed to give
them the Impressions that the Ameri-
cans were afraid of them, but short.
decisive campaign gave them TO under
stand that the 49, only HI. had I'd
authority and to enforce order. There
is no reason" 1t Is added. ito expect
any further trouble with the Sulu
Moros."

warships May Be Repaired.

Toxic, Jan. ia naval ofiicer who
has returned here from Port Arthur.
discussing the condition OF the fort
ress. says:
"The conditions OF the warships and
the town was much better than l had
hoped for. Evidently there was much
fortifying at Port Arthur after the
siege commenced. The works on 2o3-
Meter hill were not permanent and the
trenches there were similar to those
used by the Beers during the South
African war. 1t seems that the Rus.
slams had no general electrical scheme
or movable engines or dynamos for
searchlights.
Russian naval officers say that 1t
is impossible yet to ascertain whether
the Japanese fire or the opening OF
sea.cocks sank the ships in the har,
Dor. The hospitals are fairly well
kept and are still used for wounded
and for prisoners.

A eREAr INSTITUTION.


It is unusual that single institution In
city of /, 900 people will overshadow In i'm
portance every other interest, but such is
the case with the American School Of
Osteopathy, and A. 7. Still Inarmary at
Kirksville, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksville Is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
Kirksvillc has been made what 1t is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School and
Infirmary. 1t is the largest patronized un-
endowed institution Of its Kind in the
United States.
DR.. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of Ave months each before
completing the course Of study. There are
over 1900 graduates and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory OF the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
In medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy Is substituted for that. So
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by tho students.
At the Infirmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form Of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Kirksville has
lief by the science Of Osteopathy. By the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment. the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
rational method of cure. Several years ago
q free clinic was established in connection
with tho practice department of the school
pnd this is still in operation. Hundreds of
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for
treatment, Aro treated every afternoon by
the senior students free Of charge.
