It is hardly expected that the rigorous procedure for treason would be dopted. If it should be, section G322 of the revised statutes provides that “every per- son guilty of treason shall suffer death, or at the discretion of the court, shall be im- prisoned at hard labor for not less than five rs and fAined not less thun $10,000."

It is presumed that Aguinaldo will be held for the present at least as a mili- tary prisoner. If tried as such, it would be because he had offended against som of the articles of war., Already there have Leen several trials of Fillpino officers for offe against military usage, such as brutality, but a military tribunal will not take up the larger political offenses against the authority of the United States. cle 154 of the regulations governing armies in the field recites Treating in the enemy according of war has never government from the bellion, or th treason, and from ingly, unless they eral amnesty This article 18 war, rime. son sets on_foot n or insur- £ the United field with the rebellious to the law and usiages prevented the legitimate trylng the lead of chief rebels for high treating them accord- are included in a gen- referred to as showing that the warfare in the Philippines has not given Aguinaldo such strict military status as to relieve him from the higher and graver vital offense of high treason.

General Funston secured the correspond ence of Aguinaldo's agent and laid his plans | accordingly. Some months previously he | had captured the camp of the insurgent { General Lacuna, incidentally obtaining La- cuna’s seal, official papers and a quantity of signed correspondence. From this ma- terlal two letters were constructed ostensi- bly from Lacuna to Aguinaldo. One of these contained information as to the progress of the war. The other as that pursuant to orders received from Bal- dermero Aguinaldo Lacuna was sending his best company to Presidente Emilio Agui- naldo.

The story contest, of the loug-drawn senatorial deadlocked for three months, has | been told in all its detalls in the columus of The Bee, but a cursory review of the salient features cannot fail to be interest- ing. During the campaign, previous to the November election, which gave Nebraska a republican legislature, but three or four names were prominently mentioned a probable candidates for senatorial honor: | These candidates were D. E. Thompson and {EH. Hinshaw in the South Platte terri- tory and Edward Rosewater and T D. Meiklejohn in the North Platte terri- tory. When the legislature came to con vene, however, a rich field of lesser lights sprang to the front to share in the dis- tribution of the votes, among them Francis Martin, E. J. Halner, F. ) . Lorenzo Crounse, M. P. Kink D. Richards and several others. The complication arose over the allotment of the two sen- atorships between the geographical divi- sions of the state, but it soon became se [tled that the short term, which was the | unexplred term of the late Senator M. L. Hayward, should go to the South Platte, and the long term, then held by Senator John M. Thurston, should remain with the North Platte.
