Otis telegraphs the war department The cruiser Raleigh, of Admiral Dewey's fleet, the ship that fired the firat shot at Manila, has returned to the United States and was given a royal welcome at New York Satur- day. Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, who has been on waiting orders since re lieved of the command of the flying squadron, has been assigned to duty as a member of the naval examina- tion board at Washington City. Reports from Nebraska to the effect that the wheat and rye crop was badly damaged by the cold winter seems to have been greatly exaggerated. Reports of che condi- tion of the wheat crop over the state now indicate that it will be a fair yield. The announcement of General Lawton that 100,000 troops will be necessary to subjugate the insur- gentsin the Philippine Islands is causing the administration a great deal of worry and to meet the emer- gency congress may have to be called together. Capt. A. B. Kelly and Jobn E. Homan, late of the 2nd Texas Infan- try, have started a movement to organize a regiment of Texans for service in the Philippines. The officers and men are to be selected from the five regiments recently mustered out of the service. The regiment isto be known as Buck's Texas Rangers. Lieutenant Scott, of the revence cutter Hudson, makes the sensation- al charge that Ensign Bagley and the men of the Winslow, killed ¢*t Cardenas, lost their lives as a result of the bursting of a shell fired from the gunboat Wilmington. Secretary Long's attention has been directed to the matter, and thore is some talk of an official investigation. ———— BORRON OONTESTS. sioner, on the face of the returns. |in Elkhart township. | | notice the annual school was held at the Baptist church, instead of the school house. |meeting was called at 2 the time specified by law, and pro leeeded to organized by electing a chairman and secretary. | were elected for the ensuing term 'and an additional levy of ten cents |voted.

After leav- jing the church a number of voters were met and it was decided to | return to the church, reorganize the meeting and have all the proceedings over, as if no meeting had been held. This was accordingly done, a new chairman and secretary was elected, and all the business ceming before the annual meeting was transacted. At this second meeting 10 votes were cast for Raybourn and only 2 for Borron, one gentleman declining to vote, believing the proceedings were illegal. The proceedings ef the second meeting were certified up to the county clerk These are matters to be settled wholly by the courts. If under the law Prof. Borron was elected he is clearly entitled to the office. On the other hand if Prof. Raybourn was legally elected he will retain the office. Dooley & Ludwick and A. W. Thurman appear as attorneys for Borron. We did not learn who Prof. Raybourn’s attorneys are. HOT TIME AHEAD. The Globe-Democrat says Con- gress will be called to meet in extra session in September. This is the desire of the republican leaders, which is shared by the President Before the opening of the campaign of 1900 the republicans are anxious for the enactment of a currency measure and a revision of the tariff The House currency caucus is now in session at Atlantic City, and is expected to finish its work some time early in the summer and to be ready to submit some measure upon whieh the republican congressmen ean unite and which wil prove satis- factory to the rank and file of the party as a relief from the present At the great dollar dinner in New York the tenor of the speeches were for Bryan and an anti-trust fight in 1900. The rapid growth of trusts under republican rule has given this subject tremendous importance. While no backward steps should be taken on the Chicago platform, the next democratic convention must take decidedly advanced grounds against trusts. The people must costro! the trusts or the trusts will control the people The committee having in charge the national encampment of the Modern Woodmen, which will as- semble in Kansas City during the week of June 6 to 10, is making preparations to entertain the thous- ands of guests whe are expected to be in the city from all over the United States. Gov. W. E. Stanley of Kansas and Ool. W. J. Bryan have accépted invitations to be pres- ent and address the people. The committee also hopes to have Gov. currency evils.

Good For the Wealthy. Santiago de Cuba, April 16.—Gov- ermor General Brooke's order abol ishing import duties for municipal beneftt and licenses will decrease the municipal revenues, it is estimated, 50 per cent. Its effects will be the closing of the public schools and the stopping of all the public im- provements This, at all events, is the predic tion of the local press which de- nounces the order as a return to the Spanish system and which claim that the method of taxation substituted by Gsneral Brooke open the way to easy evasion by the wealthy. Senoc Basardi, the mayor of Saa- tiago de Cuba, started for Havana to-day to protest against the new arrapgemeuts, asit is feared there will bea renewal of brigandage us the result of stopping work on pub lic improvements } Can’t Bring Back the Bodies. Washington, April 15 —Gen. Otis reports that the expedition which left this country two months ago for the Philippines to bring to the United States the dead American soldiers has proved a failure on ac- count of climatic conditions, it being impossible to embalm the bodies. He recommends that no further attempts at disinterment be made and the department has so ordered. The bodies eannot bs returned to this country for at least six months, and it may be deemed adyisable to wait still longer. In deferenee to the protest of General Wood no more bodies will be brought from Sautiago until next fall. the regular session of congress and the opening up of the campaign of 1900. The republican national exec- utive committee will meet in Wash- ington City atan early day to lay out the preliminary work for the campaiga of 1900 The democrats are active and there is not the least doubt but what the national eampaign will prove a more bitter comtest than has ever taken place in this country. Major General Lawtom has evacu- ated the towns recently captured and return to Manila. His troops, itis asserted, are needed in the movement north of Manila. A spe- cial copyrighted dispatch to the New York Herald and St. Louis Re- public quotes General Lawton as saying: “With the forees I have Roosvelt of New York, to deliver an addess.

The new game law of Arkansas When the Crook returas to New York in about a fortnight with 75 bodies, disinterred in Porto Rico, all attempt at disinterment will be aban- doned until the weather changes. Want to Come Home, Washington, April 16 —The de. sire to return to this country is evidenced in a report which shows that of those who have been offered opportunity to reenlist, with the offer of a bonus in travel pay of over $500, only about seven per cent will accept. The volunteers, it is stated, desire to come home by organizs- tions instead of individually. Some discharges of individual soldiers have been brought about by con- gressional pressure, but as a rule General Otis has been disapproving all applications for discharges except in the case of sick or wounded and disabled soldiers.

Lee has written to President McKiuley demanding ths return of the South Dakota Volunteers from the Philip pines. He declares that they “have filled eyery obligation which they owe to their country and its flag,” and should be allowed to return home. He says: “We view their present or future retention as unconstitutional and a violation of the law which called the organization into being, and feel sure they will not be retained against their will, against the law and agaiost the moral sense of people of our State witbout offering reason for so doing.” In Honor ot Jeff-rson, Columbia, Mo, April 14.—The birthday of Thomas Jefferson re- ceived its usual notable celebration in Columbia.
