In order to pre vent misapprehension as to the future jioiicy of the war department respect ing the military forces in the Philip pines. Adjutant General Corbin made a brief statement of the facts in the as.? today. He said there had been no ehange of policy since the departure of ,ennal Otis, and that none was con toniMated. Under the law the entire vniurteer army flow serving in the Philippines will go out of existence Jui'e "0. 1901, and the problem before the war department is now to get the r.l.n;n men of that army home from the Philippines before the date named, at the same time relieving them with other troops of the regular establishment, so ar as possible, without loss of military prestige ill the Philippines and with out material disturbance of the present military organization. General Corbin says It is proposed to maintain an army of 40,000 regulars in the Philippines so long as required. and to- do this it will be necessary to draw upon the troops now in Cuba. The army in the Philippines at present numbers about 62.000 men, equally di vided between regulars and volunteers. All the volunteers are to be brought home and mustered out at the place of enlistment June 30, next year, and in order to accomplish this with cer tainty and with the least embarrass ment the homeward movement will be gin early in the coming November. As wa.f the case with the volunteers for the Spanish war, they will be brought home so far as possible in the order of their departure from the United States. In order that there may be no Im mediate reduction of force under Gen eral MacArthur it has been arranged to send regular troops to the Philippines as rapidly as possible to take the places of the departing volunteers. Orders have been issued for the assembling of the Sixth cavalry at San Francisco for transport to Manila. One detachment of that regiment will leave about the 15th instant, and another about the first of July. It is believed that many of the troops in Cuba can be relieved from duty in that country soon after the elections there on the 15th instant. In case the conditions justify it these troops will be brought home and as signed to home stations in order that the home garrisons may be utilized in recruiting the army in the Philippines. General Corbin says it is incorrect to state that the time of the volunteer army is to be extended or that rein forcements are to be sent to the Phil ippines, the fact being simply that the volunteers are to be brought home for disbandment and enough regulars sent there to take their places to give Gen eral MacArthur 40,000 men to assist in maintaining the supremacy of the United States and to carry out the plans for civil government determined upon by the Taft commission. Senate Bills Passed. Washington, June 5. The senate at the night session passed the following bills: Granting right of way for a water pipe line through the public lands to the town of Flagstaff, Ariz.; authorizing the appointment of George W. Kirkman as a captain in the army; authorizing the Seneca Telephone com pany to construct and maintain lines in the Indian Territory; to provide for the fale of isolated and disconnected tracts cr parcels of the Osage trust and di minished reserve lands in Kansas. At the reg-ular meeting of the school board last night it was decided to have the plans and estimates for the comple tion of Polk school and the enlargement of Euclid school made at once. Polk school will be completed bv the erection of a west wing which was pro vided for in the original plan of the build ing. Euclid school will be enlarged by a two-room addition. The board decided to take no further action on the building question until the estimate of the cost of the two additions is made. A new build ing and several additions are needed this year. Potwin school is crowded and should be completed according to the orig inal pians cy tne addition or lour rooms. Harrison school is crowded and needs :i two-room addition. A building to take the piace oi .tne old sumner school is needed. In addition, the heating plant .at the High schol must be replaced. The building fund will not exceed J3S.0OU and but part of this woi-K can De carried out this vear. Tne finance commiti.ee submitted the following estimate of running expenses for the coming year.

The house last night agreed to the senate amendment to the sundry civil bill appropriating $3,000,000 for the Louisiana purchase ex position at St. Louis. There was not a word of debate on concurrence in the amendment. It was after -6 o'clock when the matter came up and owing to the lateness of the hour and the over whelming majority in its favor, the op ponents of the fair appropriation did not even make a show- of opposition. They contented themselves with de manding a roll call which resulted 127 ayes to 75 nays in favor of the appro priation. There are only four appropriation bills still in dispute between the two houses. Mr. Tawney (Minn.) is making an ef fort to delay final adjournment unless action is had on the Grout oleomargar ine bill, but he met with no success to day. Kverything so far as the house is cqri cerned indicates final adjournment on Wednesday. A UTE ENTRY.

The increased estimate of teachers sal aries is due to an increase in the schedule of $181.75, and an estimated increase of $2,518.25 for the coming year, based on the theory of three new rooms at Branner, two new rooms at Polk and two new rooms at Euclid schools. This makes a total increase of $3,500 for the school year. The estimate for the coming year raises all but two of the appropriations, but the increase in the total estimate is but $552. 12 over the expenses of the previous year. The difference is made up in the furniture estimate. During the past year the desks and seats in many of the schools have been replaced at an expense of $7,721.35, while for the coming year the estimate calls for but $1,500 for furniture. The financial report submitted for May was as follows: Deposited in banks $14,276.86 General fund $ 158.65 Interest and sinking fund 13.11:1.28 Building fund 1.0U4.93 $14,276.86 $14,276.86 Warrants unpaid for wants of funds, $8,704.51. The taxes for the second half will be paid into the county treasury this month and the school will receive about $35,000, which will be divided as follows: General fund $22,000.00 Interest and sinking fund 6. 500. en Building fund 6,500.00 Betting on Prize Fights Prohibited. San Francisco, June 5. An ordinance mal.ing betting on prize fights a misde meanor has been passed by the board of supervisors of this city. Ti-e pen alty for a violation of the law is a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment for not more than six months. $35,000 The building committee was instructed to investigate the matter of heating the High school and to report at the next meeting- The hot air system at the High school is unsatisfactory. It does not properlv heat the building and the rooms are nnea witn smotte. Arrangements win be made for steam heat by either connect ing with the Kdison heating plant or the building of a boiler house in the rear of the High school building. Superintendent Davidson suggested that the old plan of issuing an annual report be revived. The board voted unanimously to have the report compiled at once and published soon after the schools open this fall. It has been nearly 10 years since a report of the work of the Topeka public schools has been issued. An appropriation of $500 for 2,000 copies will be made. Can't be perfect health without pure blood. Burdock Blood Bitters makes pure blood. Tones and invigorates the whole system. Indianapolis, June 5. Nearly all the candidates and a large part of the del egates have arrived for the Democratic state convention which opens at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The full delegation of 1,527 members is expected in during the day and until they ar rive the strength of the various can didates can not be determined. The situation is chaotic and no accurate forecast can be made. The absorbing topic of conversation is the contest for trie gubernatorial nomination. There are three candidates now in the field, John W. Kern, of Indianapolis; Frank B. Burke, of In dianapolis, and Nelson J. Bozarth, of Valparaiso. Kern has the support of the Marion county Democratic organiz ation and will be backed by Democratic Mayor Taggart, a member cf the Dem ocratic state central committee from this district. On the other, hand Burke is m active opposition to the Taggart faction. An element of uncertainty in the situation is the likelihood of B. F. Shively of South Bend entering the field at the last moment, and in that case an effort may be made to stampede the convention in his favor. A week ago Shively positively de clined to become a candidate but his friends among the delegates insist that he has reconsidered his decision and will eventually permit his name to go before the convention. Shively was the Democratic nominee in 1896 and was defeated by Governor Mount. Shively has not yet arrived, but is ex pected this evening. There is talk among the delegates of endorsing Shively for the vice presidential nom ination in case he refuses the guberna torial honors. Much interest in the convention cen ters in the battle for national commit teeman. Judge Shanklin, the present incumbent, is seriously ill at his home in Evansville, but his candidacy is be ing pushed by his friends. Opposed to him is Mayor Taggart. There is ap parently among the delegates no senti ment against Bryan and. it is probable that he will be endorsed for the nom ination for president. Vice Chairman Johnson and Secretary Walsh of the Democratic national committee are ex pected from Chicago tonight. A platform has not yet been agreed upon. An element of discord is the monetary plank. One faction insists on a straight reaffirmation, of the Chi cago platform, while another desires to keep the 16 to 1 issue in the back ground and fight the campaign battle on a platform largely devoted to trusts, im perialism and the Cuban postoffice scandals. It is believed by the leaders that this point will be settled, in the committee room and the platform will be ready for presentation when the convention opens tomorrow. The convention will be called to or der tomorrow morning by Parks M. Martin, chairman of the state central committee, and while no temporary chairman seems to have been chosen as yet it is authoritatively stated that S. M. Ralston will be the presiding officer. More Crookedness Found. Washington, June 5. There is a doubt as to whether the collection of United States postage stamps intended to be exhibited at the Paris exposi tion will be sent to France for that purpose. It has been learned that three sheets of "proof" stamps were lost after being sent to the exposition, and there is some question as to whether it would be safe to trust further collections of a similar kind there.

ARBUCKLE BROS., New York City, N. Y. DIPLOMA MILL RAIDED. Faculty of a Chicago College Placed in Jail. Chicago, June 5. Government officers today invaded the Metropolitan Medical college, an alleged "diploma mill" at No. 866 West Van Buren street and ar rested the officers, Fresident James Armstrong, Vice Fresident J. H. Ran dall, Secretary Thomas Armstrong and former Secretary Charles M.Hovey. The men are charged with having used the mails to defraud and it is said their re ceipts amount to many thousands of dollars. Pearling to give suitable bonds, all four went to jail. The institution with which tYi de fendants are connected is also known as the Independent Medical college and the National Law school and the evidence shows that its faculty has been selling degrees for the practice of medicine and law at prices ranging from $3 to $200, the compensation being determined by the amount the would be professional men were willing to advance. Postoffice Inspector Gould who made the arrest says the fraud is one of the largest the postal authorities have ever had to deal with and the graduates of the institute are practicing in every state, and even abroad. He says frequent complaints of malpractice have been made against the holders of the diplomas of the insti tution. Regular medical colleges and law institutions in all parts of the Uni ted States have been fighting the offi cers of the "diploma mill" for several years in vain and up to the time the men were arrested, it is said they "were graduating" their subscribers at the rate of a. dozen each day. The complaint on which the warrants were issued was sworn to by Joseph De Barthe, cf Baker City. Ore., who was formerly connected with the institution as an agent for selling diplomas and is listed in the college prospectus as "pro fessor of medical jurisprudence." He says he paid $25 for a degree issued by the Independent Medical college August 30, 1S98, and thought his authority to practice medicine was valid until he was refused : certificates in several states. He says he never allowed his name to appear on the faculty list, though he occasionally transacted the law business of the institution. Inspec tor Gould induced a friend to write to the Metropolitan college for informa tion. The institution offered to give a full course in medicine and a degree for $200 and t.iorter terms of study for smaller amounts. Inspector Gould has a bunch of un signed certificates of practice for the state of Texas and he says the name of the district clerk is forged to these for an extra compensation.. Texas is said to have been the most fertile field for the "graduates" of the institution. The British consul has made repeated efforts to run the Metropolitan faculty out of business as Great Britain is said to have been flooded with their diplomas. It is said that dozens of "graduates" of Dr. Armstrong's institutions are prac ticing in India and in all parts of the world. The diplomas bear the names of the whole faculty, but two girls declar ed they were employed to write these on all degrees issued by the college. holtTheTavorite.

"For years I have not been able to drink coffee, as it made me very nerv ous and gave me a headache. No one loved coffee more than I and" it was a severe trial to abandon Its use. Nearly three years ago I saw Postum Cereal Coffee advertised and concluded to try it. "I have been so well pleased with it and its healthful effects that I have used it ever since. 1 carry packages with me when I visit other places. "When I began to drink Postum, mv muscles were Jlubj.y. as my habits are sedentary, but for the past two years my muscles have been hard and I never felt stronger in my life than I do now at pixty years of age. and I attribute my strength of- muscle to constant use of 3'ostum.' I 'Irink it three times a tlay. I feel so enthusiastic about Postum that I cannot recommend it too highly wher ever I go. Wishing you great success, yo'.irs truly, - "Rev. A. P. Moore, 474 Rhode Island St.. Buffalo. N Y." The reason Postum builds up the hu man body to a primeooudition of health, is that when coffee is left off. the drug effects of the poison disappear and the elements in Postum unite with aibumfn of the food to make gray matter and re- fill the delicate nerve centers all over the body and in the brain. This sets up a perfect condition of nerve health, end the result is that the entire body (ceU the effect of it. . - - n 4 a f - h.v . . - v. - s I k. - r - , -:',- iV-n,, 4, ? - ft ? -; ? val practice as a result of the Belle Isle experiment, and they are hoping that the department will decide to au thorize the experiment on one cf the old monitors and the use cf her as a target for the Kearsarge or New York. The monitors are of very little value, and the loss would consequently not be great while the information that couid be obtained would be of great value. A WOMAN'S MESSAGE For Democratic SominationTor Gorernor in West Tirginia. Parkersburg, W. Va.,- June 5. Among the delegates already here for the Democratic state convention that meets tomorrow Judge John H. Holt of Huntington is apparently the favorite for the gubernatorial nomination with Judge Lewis N. Tavenner of Parkers burg, second. Lewis and Flournoy have not formally withdrawn.but their head quarters show no such activity as those of Holt and Tavenner. Ever since the arrival last night of John T. McGraw who is the pronounced Democratic candidate for United States senator against S. P.. Elkins, there has been a boom for Holt. Friends of Mc Graw and Holt announced that they have pooled their issues for governed and ssnator. It is said Holt's following includes James H. Miller. Robert Arm strong, John W. Davis, Homer B.

Mobile, Ala., June 5. A mob at Mis sissippi City has taken a negro named Askew, suspecting of outraging and murdering Miss Winterstrin late Satur day night, frcm jail and have gone with, him to the woods. The mob's intention is to make the negro confess. A later dispatch from Mississippi City says -that investigation has confirmed the mob in the belief that Askew is the n an who murdered the girl. His cloth ing was found covered with blood and he could not explain it. U ndoubtedly the mob would have hanged the negro then and there but the mother of the young girl ser.t a message asking that the man be brought to Biloxi for her identification. Askew will be taken to Biloxi by boat, and the hanging will probably take place there. Washington Notes. Washington, June 5. John M. Lan der has been appointed a stamper in the Newton.
