FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1900.

A bill appropriating 810,000 to pay the expenses of securing a proper de sign for a memorial to Gen. Grant, to be erected in Washington, was passed by the house without a dissenting vote.

A TABLE: printed by Bradstreet's shows that 3,553 New York business bouses, which had on their pay-rolls 299,957 employes in 1896, have increased the number to 350,278, while the increase in wageB in 1899 as com pared with 189C was over 820,000,000.

THK senate carried out one of President McKinley's recommendations when it passed the bill authorizing the appointment by the President of a commission to visit Asia and study and report upon the best methods for increasing American commerce with China and Japan.

THE treasury statement for the month of February shows that the receipts of the government were 845,631,265,08, while the expenditures were only 837,827,000, leaving a surplus of 1:87,804,265.08.

For the eight months

ending February 28th. the surplus receipts amounted to 837,674,785.22.

SECRETARY ROOT'S answer to the senate resolution asking if he had given any exclusive permit for dredging the gold-bearing sands of the ocean off the Alaska coast shows that no exclusive permits have been issued for such dredging, but that under authority of law, as interpreted by Mr. Root and every member of the cabinet, permits have befin issued to Beveral applicants to dredge the ocean bed from the line of low water outwards oft' the Alaskan coast, when it may be done without interfering with navigation, and will be issued to others who may apply for them. Inasmuch astthese permits have been issued to all applicants, there is nothing exclusive about them. Thus, another mare's nest is disposed of.

THE consolidation of the Democratic papers of the city can but work to the best interests of everybody. That there is a field here for one Democratic paper, and but one, no reasonable man will deny. As the situation was in the past there was a rough road for the advertiser, the patron, and the papers themselves. The consolidated paper ought to do well, the advertiser will get to draw a peaceful breath, and the patron should get better service than in the past. There was not room in Orawfordsville for two Democratic papers and, while it requited some years to get this proposition through the heads of some, the matter has finally been adjusted as such matters always are, by the survival of the fittest.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

E, W. Ellis Write* of His Impressions in the Far Eact.

E. W. Ellis of the 38th U. S. Infantry writes his mother, Mrs. J. M. Pat ton, as follows:

ROSARIO,Feb. 0,1900.—DEAR MOTHER, JOK AND FRIENDS ATHOME:— It has been a long time since I last wrote you, bnt it could not be helped. We left Manila January 1, in the evening, marched until 2 a. m. Jan. 2 to Bacoor rested till 6 a. m. and marched'to Maricabou. Rested until Jan. 3 and then went to Parauague. Stayed there till Jan. 7, when we went to Imus. There the 28th regiment and a part of ours had a pretty good scrap. Bad a good night's rest fell in at 6 a. m., Jan. 9, next morning, and went to Dasmarinas. Stayed there until Jan 10. Fell in at at 7:30 p. in., marched until 1 a. m. Jan. 11. Started at 7 a. m., Jan. 11, and marched nineteen miles across the mountains to Talesay on Laka Taal, and had a scrap going into t!ie town. Left Jan. 12 bad a scrap three miles out and went on to Tananan. Jan. 13 left Tananan and had another scrap one and one-half miles out of Lepa. Took the town two largest town on the island. Jan 15 went to San Jose. Jan. 10 went to liataugar and had a scrap going into town, Jan 1'.) and 20 marched to Rosario. They divided our regiment at Bataugar 1st battalion at Jiataugar, 2nd battalion at Lepa, 3d battalion or our battalion at Rosario. Our company did not stay very long when we got here, for they had sent cCompany in connection with some cavalry to liberate a lot of Spanish prisoners and eleven of our men at Tabayas, and Company was to escort them back to Rosario, but our major thought they needed reinforcements so our company went on the hunt of them. Started Jan 30 at 1 p. m., went to Tyon, stayed all night there. I tell you it was a pretty fierce looking sightlwhen we got there, for some troops had been there five hours before us andj set.the town on fire. Natives running about the streets here and there. It was 9 o'clock at night, so we did not know what we were running into, but nothing happened to speak of. We took quarters in a big church and doubled the guard and slept on our guns until morning. Started on at a. m. Jan. 21. Marched nine miles to a little town. I forget the name. Here we halted and thought we would have dinner, but while we were busy getting our grub our advance guard was tired on, so we fell in double quick and put out a lino of skirmishers to the right of the road and advanced about three or four hundred yards to a deep creek unfordable. We saw nothing, so we went back to our dinner bnt left a few pickets. We did not get our dinner this time, but just got back to camp when the pickets opened a lively fire and the black devils were giving them some pretty hot stuff from across the creek. Now mind you that there were only sixtythree of our company fitfor the march. The rest were left at Rosario. So the captain sent »twenty-five men to the left up thej creek to ford andjmarch down on them.$»They did so, but saw nothing, but found two dead negroes. The rest had skipped out. They then came back and we fell in at 1 o'clock, with dinner, and inarched until 6 o'clock, when we found Company Jan. 21. Youi bet they tvere glad to see us-jjand we were very glad to see them. We started on our return Jan. 20. We had to stop there on account sof,j bome wounded cavalry. When they came up the same road ahead of»us two days they had a hard fight: one man killed and five wounded. We had to stay until those wounded men got so they could be moved, One man waB shot through the head. We c&rriedi*hitn twenty-one mileB on a liter. He (was alive and on a fair road to get welljwhen I last saw him. We have made the rouDds so far without *osing a man on account of being shot. Our company has not got a scratch so far. Wo lost one man from dysentery. Gee. H. Walters was his name. They talk about this being a nice country. I do not Beejany thing nice about it. It has seeni'.antiera of prosperity some time back.tbut itihas gone to ruin on accouut «of warj being carried on so long. It putBime in mind of Halhincb, as you cannot see one hundred yards either side j:of^the road. Kamboo till you can't jrest. It is no wonder Spain went bankrupt to look at the fifteen hundred Catholic churches she built on this island.JjtEach church is surrounded by a stone wall live feet high and the iuclosure is about five acres. The main building to the churches is 200x 120 feet. Well you could put Crawfordsville's court house inside of any of them,j and fine, well I guess they are. Then there are a lot of other buildings outside of the main church. It looks as if the priests had kept a kind of [an opera house or hotel of Bome sort. Of course there ha6 been a great deal more wealth here borne time. Our company is in fair health excepting a few that are Bick in quarters nothing serious at all. Our latest news from the states is Dec. 20. The papers speak of all the volunteers being mustered out by Jane next, but we do not credit the papers with telling the truth. Very Btrange

you folks at home know more about that than we do, and we hear that they have increased the standing army to one hundred thousand. That is why we are going to be mustered out. I can't think of any tnore to write, so I will close for this time hoping to hear from you aa soon as possible. Forgot to say I received "your letter written Dec. 19 and contents noted. Direct your letter to Manila, as we may not be at this place very long,

Yours, E. W. ELLIS,
