On the chest of the negro was a scrap of blood-stained paper, fastened with an ordinsry pin. On one side of this paper was written: "New York Jour nal: We must protect our ladies; 23-99.

Chicago Doctor Suggests Establishment of Tarpelan Kwk, Chicago, April 20. Daniel E. Brewer, a promlnerft physician, in a lecture, advocated the establishment of a Tar pelau rock In Chicago, unless the city secures a new code of criminal laws. He said: "The percentage of crimi nals have increased so rapidly in the United States that we now have one habitual, or hereditary criminal in every thousand persons. Criminals propogate, marry and multiply unre stricted and unless we can change our laws, will continue to Increase in the same ratio they have in the past until it is appalling to contemplate the re sult. If Chicago does not soon have a new code of criminal laws, it will be wiser to have a Tarpelau rock, like the Romans, from which malefactors and degenerates might be thrown to death. We should have laws controlling mar riage so that degeneracy may be checked by preventing the union of criminal, diseased or lunatic couples." Uuard Ueueral Otla' Ufa.. Sioux Falls, S. D., April 28.

He always led his regiment and had achieved remarkable popular ity with his men since the war began, although during his first colonelcy, the volunteers who were not used to the rigid discipline of the regular troops, thought him a hard officer. The colonel led his men in a charge against the enemy, and fell about 200 yards from their breastworks, shot through the heart.

QUAY WINS OUT. Jury Declares Hlaa Mo OaUty aad Oeea or Appoint Him Senator. Philadelphia, April 23. Mathew Stanley Quay has been declared by jury to be not guilty of the charge of conspiracy to use for his own unlawful gain and profit the funds of tha staU of Pennsylvania deposited in the Peo pie's bank of Philadelphia. Seoatoi Quay received the verdict with a broad smile on his face and responded pleas antly to the congratulations of hil many friends present. Immediately upon the receipt of the news thst Senator Quay was acquitted of the charges against him. Governor Stone appointed him United States senator io fill the vacancy until the next legislature meets, and notified vice-President Robart. Governor Stone said that in appointing Senator Quay he felt he had done the fit and proper thing. He thought it would make the issue, and is better done now thsn after waiting for weeks. The authority quoted by the governor says that the governor of any state may make tem porary appointment during a recess, to hold until the next legislature meets. Wanamaber Bitter. Philadelphia, April 23. John Wana maker has made the following state ment in regard to the acquital of ex Senator Quay and the latter's appoint ment by the governor as United States senator: "The acquittal of Senator Quay will be a disappointment to every lover of justice and every friend of good gov eminent throughout the United States, It records with emphasis the difficulty or convicting potent political people charged with crimes, no matter how clear and convincingly overwhelming the evidence may be. The story of the corrupt use and speculation in public money in rennsylvama is an old one and has been a matter of notorious ac cusation against a long line of state treasurers and political bosses for many years. 'J he first shout of defiant exultation of his acquittal has proceeded from the governor ol the commonwealth, who has promptly appointed him a United States senator without author ity and in violation of the law and in defiance of the will of the people as expressed by tbe votes of th letfisla- ture. Jt is nttinir in every way that the capstone should thus have been put on the edifice of boss rule and ma chine jobbery by the Quay representa tive in the governor's chair." SPANIARDS STILL FIGHT. Tha Garrison at Baler Does Not Know 1 hat Peace lias Hren Declared. Washington, April 23. Advices re ceived at the war department from Ad miral Dewey, under date of April 21, state that the expedition of the gun boat Yorktown to Baler was purely to rescue the Spanish soldiers and priests who are being besieged in a church there. The soldiers refused to surren der when expected to lay down their arms by Genei-al Rios at the end of the Paris peace conference. , Admiral Dewey said he did not know what had become of Lieutenant Gil more and the fouVteen men in the launch. The supposition is that they were captured or killed by the Span iards or the 400 Insurgents who are be sieging the Spanish garrison. General Rios, the Spanish com mander, when interviewed, said he did not think the garrison at Baler knew that the war between the United States and Spain had ended, lie had sent an officer in January to tell the garrison to surrender, but the garrison refused to do so, either not believing the officer or fearing that they would be trapped by the insurgents. Since then General Rios has not communicated with the garrison, and this is the first information received that the Spanish nag is still flying at Baler. REBELS RUNNING.

The Americans having exhausted their ammunition were compelled to return to their camps. Capturing Samoan Boats. London, April 23. According to a letter received from a British naval officer at Apia, dated March 18, the British warship Porpoise, in order to cripple the rebels, cruised around the coast of Upola, burning villages and carrying to Apia all the boats of the the natives. As their boats are re garded by the Samoan islanders as their most valuable possession, it was believed that plan would really inflict greater hardships upon them than the destruction of their villages. Admiral Schley Coming West. Omaha, Neb., April 23. It is an nounced that Admiral Schley will visit this city about May 1 as the guest of ez-Senator Manderson. He comes for rest, and aside from a dinner given by the Loyal Legion and a reception at the Omaha club, will attend no public functions.

The commanding general says he does not wish to make definite promises or pre- dictions, but he believes that he will soon be able to announce a result of the communications passinir between I be commission and the leader of ' 1 tuburitnuia. DECLINE TO DISBAND. SPAIN'S FILIPINO ALLIES ARE IN A SAD PLIGHT. ttatlves TVho Hae Aided tha Spaniard. Refnse to Give up Their Arms, Fearing the Vengeance of Their Compatriot. Manila, April 22. Spain's evacuation of the Philippine islands will be prac tically completed by the withdrawal of the Spanish garrison from Zamboanga, Island of Mindanao, and from the Sulu islands, and if the United States as sumes control of Mindanao and the Sulu islands on the Spaniards' with drawing, tbe military authorities must, in order to garrison those islands, di minish the forces of American troops, which are already too small. There was almost mutiny among the Spanish troops in the islands, because they were expected to proceed to the Ladrone and the Caroline islands, some of them refusing to do so, claiming that their enlistment had expired. The latter were exempted and allowed to return to Spain on board the Alva. The native troops in the Spanish garrison are in a sad plight. They must accompany the Spaniards or risk the vengeance of their compatriots. The Spaniards proposed to disband them, but they refused to give up their arms. The natives of Zamboanga are likely to prove troublesome when the Spanish troops are withdrawn from the coast towns of the island of Mindanao. It is believed that the smouldering tribal wars will then be resumed, anarchy will prevail and the inhabitants of nearly every village will fight with their neighbors. A tripartite exchange of prisoners will be arranged if it is possible to negotiate with the Filipinos as if they were a civilized nation. If the Fili pinos consent to release the Spanish prisoners, the Americans might release the Tagalogs they now hold prisoners, in return for which Spain would free her political prisoners. The provisions of the Paris treaty would thus be car ried out. The Spanish commission, however, hesitates to enter the Fili pino lines, fearing treachery, although Aguinaldo has guaranteed the safety of the commissioners. MEN FOR OTIS. Fourteen Thousand Regulars to be Sent to Reinforce Hlui. Washington, April 22. Fourteen thousand regulars are to be sent to re inforce General Otis at Manila, as soon as the necessary marine transportation can be provided. The first regiment ordered will probably be the Seventh artillery, of which the two light bat teries, C and M, have been ordered home from Porto Rico for the purpose. They will be sent at once to San Fran cisco, to await an available transport steamer. With the regulars already ordered and on their way to Manila, General Otis will have an effective force, of 21,278 men, in addition to the recruits being sent every few days for the reg ulars already in the Philippines. This force is to be raised to 35,000 men by the time the aggressive operations can be pressed in the early autumn. The volunteers to be returned to this country from Manila, number barely 12,000, many of whom are greatly de bilitated, so the determination to send 14,000 able bodies of regulars to take their places is calculated to show the rebel leaders that the United States is terribly in eanest about meeting its responsibilities for preserving order and commanding respect throughout the archipeligo.

We have not visited the homestead districts at all, though we believe them to be very inviting. Our inquiries have been confined solely to the district around Hartney, Deloraine and towards the Souris River in Manitoba. Our Im pressions of all that region are in every way satisfactory, and we have decided to go back to Iowa at once, and, having disposed of our several Interests there, to return to Manitoba In the month of March next, and, ef fecting our purchase of improved farms, which we find we can do at reasonable rates. Immediately begin farming. We are greatly pleased with all that we have seen in that part of Western Canada. The soil we find to be more than equal to that of our own country for wheat-growing, and the other conditions of climate, schools, markets, etc., are all that we could wish for. "To show what an energetic man can do we may mention that we found one such at Hartney who had rented 1 farm on shares, receiving two-thirds of the returns as his share of the erop. When he came to sell his own produce he found that his two-thirds, when converted Into cash, was enough to buy the farm he rented out and ut, which he accordingly did, and is now its owner. It Is our intention to Induce a3 many of our friends as pos lible, who are practical farmers, to re move from Iowa to this country, where we believe there is a better future for the industrious man than la now to be found anywhere on this Wntlnent. We are well known In our part of the state of Iowa, and we in rlte correspondence from Its residents in all parts with regard to this re fion of Western Canada which we lave visited, and to which we Intend o return."
