(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, April 27,1901.
Denials having been rendered
ridiculous by press dispatches from
Manila giving names and details,
war department officials now con-
fess Chat there have been extensive
frauds in the commissary branch of
the army in the Philippines, and
announce with a flourish of hon-
esty and virtue that an official in-
vestigation is now being made with
a view to the exposure and punish-
ment of all those who have been
guilty of wrong-doing. This an-
nouncement would hava carried
more weight with the disinterested
public had it not been accompani-
ed by another saying that the con-
duct of the investigation had been
placed in the- bands ol Adjutant
General Corbin. Gen. Miles is
commander of the army, and as
such should have directed that in-
vestigation, and if the truth and
the whole' truth, regardless of
whose toes might be trod on, had
been sought, it would have been
allowed to remain in his hands
where it properly bfelonged—be
had proven his fearlessness in un-
covering fraud in the embalmed
beef cases. But it the object of
the investigation be to whitewash
the guilty officers who have repub-
lican political pull, and to make
scapegoats of those who have not,
the choice of Gen. Corbin to direct
it was wise. He has a record of
political partisanship never equal-
ed by any holder of a major gen-
eral's commission in the U. S.
Array, and there have been some
radical partisans in the army, too,
while Gen. Miles has hever been a
partisan and is suspected of believ-
ing in democratic principles. Ma-
jor George B. Davis, one of the
officers 3rfid to be implicated in the
frauds, is now in Washington on
sick leave. He has been connect-
ed with the commisary branch of
the army for several years, and
was regarded as Gen. Eagan's
right-hand man when he was Com-
missary General. Major Davis
was at the War Department this
week and was questioned by Com-
missary General Weston. He de-
nied the charges cabled from Ma-
nila that the books of Evans & Co.
government contractors showed
that sums of money had been paid
to him and other officers; also that
he had any knowledge of wrong-
doing on the part of either officers
or contractors and announced bis
willingness to return to Manila at
once and assist in the investigation.
He might be able to render valu-
able assistance in the whitewash-
ing.

on Front street, next to Schaefer's
Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chi-
cago, whose third election to that
office has caused his name to be
more or less talked of in connec-
tion with national politics, spent
the most of this week in Washing-
ton quietly resting. Asked the
blunt question, whether he had
any intention of entering the na-
tional political arena, Mr. Harri-
Jol Printing at Tie Sticker Office1 son replied: "I am not fooling
with national politics. It is
enough for me npw to attend to
my duties in Chicago." When
asked what the Illinois legislature
was likely to do, Mr. Harrison
said: "The republicans in that
body have done almost nothing
oudside of a discussion of appor-
tionment bills. They have a quar-
rel among themselves over the
subject, and I should not be sur-
prised if the legislature adjourned
without passing any measure for
apportionment."
That the Philippines must neces-
sarily be a large and continuous
source of expense to the U. S. has
been evident from the day Spain
goldbricked us into becoming their
owners. A board (jf naval officers,
under orders from Secretary Long,
are now engaged in preparing plans
for a $5,000,000 naval station,
which isto have a $1,000,000 dry
dock, at Olongapo, Subig Bay,
Luzon. Those plans will have to
recive the approval of Congress be-
fore they can be carried out.
Senator Cockrell, who was met
coming out of the White House,
where he had just bad a talk with
Mr. McKinley on the subject, said
of the coming visit to Washington
of a Committee of the Cuban Con-
stitutional Convention: "The'Cu-
bans do not apparently fully grasp J
their status. They are not now a
government. They have no power
to treat diplomatically with the U.
S. The present constitutional con-
vention was called into being
through our agency. It only has
power to submit to the U. S. for
approval a plan or constitution for
a representative government. If
we reject it outright the existing
status continues. They can do
noting. But if the modifications
which we propose are accepted
then they can proceed to organize
a representative government. And
until such a government is organi-
zed the troops of the U. S., in ujy
opinion, cannot be completely
withdrawn. I am firmly convin-
ced that the convention, after it
hears the report ot the commission
which it has sent here, will accept
the Piatt amendment. I believe
that the members of the commis-
sion will learn much of value to
Cuba on their visit here, and that
soon after their return the consti-
tutional Convention will take fav-
orable action."
Every republican President
from Grant to McKinley has bad
dreams of establishing a respect-
able white republican party in the
South, but every effort to make the
dream a reality has miserably fail-
ed. For that reason Mr. McKin-
ley's effort in that line, in South
Carolina, is more amusing than
alarming to Southern democrats.
Senator McLaurin, who has been
for all practical purposes an ad-
ministration Senator tor several
years, although he only actually
withdrew from the democratic cau-
cus just before the adjournment of
the last session of Congress, is ex-
pected to act as Mr. McKinley's
assistant in the preseut attempt
to turn the dream into a reality.
The first open move was the ap-
pointment of John G. Capers, a
gold democrat, to succeed a repub-
lican as . S. District Attorney for
S. C. The next is awaited with
more or less curiosity.

A NEW WEEVIL KILLER.
Mr. R. G. Grossmann, a well
known farmer of Bastrop county,
was in the city Friday and hear-
ing several discussing boll weevils,
gave his experience with the pest
last yfear and how to a great extent
he saved his cotton crop.
He said: "The first I saw of
the weevils was a large number of
millers or what we generally call
candle flies, about the lamps at
night and in the day time I would
find them in dark,corners and hid
in the vines that shaded the gal-
lery. The thought occurred to
me that if I could destroy the mil-
lers I could save ray cotton. I
went at it this way: I gathered
about half a bushel of young cot-
ton bolls—got the largest I could
find from volunteer cotton—these
I placed in a large kettle I have,
poured about ten gallons of water
on them and built jinder it a slow
fire. After the "tea" was made
and before it was cold I took out
the bolls, added a gallon of sor-
ghum syrup and thten twenty-five
cents worth of arsenic, stirred it
up well, covered it ^ndlet it stand,
first though putting back my cot-
ton bolls to soak in the mixture.
I bad the children to gather up all
the old tin cans, plates and other
trash that would hold the mixture.
I then went all over my cotton
patch and placed a can or plate of
the tea at different places and you
should have seen the dead millers:
they were there by the thousands.
The secret of the matter is, the
cotton bolls gave the scent and
brought them to it, the sorghum
made them suck as they love any-
thing srreet, the arsenic of course
killing them. You will kill more
early in the morning and late in
the evening before the sun gets
hot than any other time. Be care-
ful with your poison, the arsenic
will not hurt chickens. My work
saved my crop while my neighbors
made but little.

ing or stock lands in western Tex-

Wright Moore, captain of a com-
pany of volunteers doing service in
the Philippines, has been appoint-
ed First Lieutenant in the regular
army by President McKinley.
Captain Moore is a LaGrange boy,
a son of Judge L. W. Moore and
well known in Fayette county.
Be it said to the credit of Wright
that he made no effort, to use any
political pull to get the appoint-
ment but it came entirely as a rec-
ognition for services rendered in
the field. His LaGrange friends
didj not even know he was an ap-
plicant. He has proven a brave
soldier. All Fayette county hopes
he may yet wear stars.
