GOVERNMENT OF MANILA.
Some Facts ia. the Report of General
Otis.
WASHINGTON, Oct 22. In the report
of Major-General Otis, as Governor-General
6f the Philippines, the following
concerning the government of the City of
Manila was made public today:
"The money expended to police and im
prove the -City 'of Manila,' "to make the
necessary repairs on roads and bridges, to'
replace government buildings which were
dilapidated,-to stamp out the infectious
diseases of smallpox and bubonic plague,
to maintain a large native police battal
ion, numbering 250 men, together with
the money required to defray the ordi
nary Incidental expenses, has been greater
iby one-half than the city's collected re
'celpts. What those receipts did not
supply has been taken irom the general
fund, as the expenditures were considered,
to be imperative.
"The liquor traffic has 1een extensive,
especially in Ihe matter of intoxicating
native drinks. In reducing the number
of licenses "which Spain granted freely,
the natives complained previously that
they Jwere deprived of the 'privileges of
which Spain bestowed. Notwithstanding
these complaints, they were greatly di
minished, but could not be entirely with
held, nor'could the traffic be destroyed
by any means within our power. Experi
ence led to the belief that It could be con
trolled through careful manipulation un
der a stringent license law." ,
An order , Issued by the Provost Mar
shal of Manila Is also given, showing the
restrictions thaVnave been placed upon
the saloons, and giving the license fees,
which are changing. Following this or
der, the report continues:
"The restraining influences have result
ed in placing the Hauor traffic under the
control of the -police and theirJofflcers,
and have .been attended .oy the i reforms
anticipated and promised. I uoubt if
there ls anywhere, any, more, quiet and

JOHNSHERMANDEAD
Passed Away at His Washing
ton Home Yesterday.
filSDEATH WAS NOT UNEXPECTED
For Over a Year He Had Been in
Failing: Hesltb.-1-The Funeral
Arrangement's.
WASHINGTON, Oct 22. Hon. John
Sherman, Representative In the House;
for a long term a member of the Senate
and twice holding Cabinet positions, died
at his residence Iri this city at 6:45 o'clock
this morning1 in the 7Sth year of his age.
His death had been expected for some
days and-loving friends gave him their
unremitting care and attention to the
end. The Immediate .cause of death was
described as brain exhaustion, incident to
extreme weakness, due to old age and
several attacks of sickness from, which
he had suffered .for the past year and
arhalf.
Since Saturday afternoon, Mr. Sherman
had been most of the time unconscious,
rallying partially at Intervals when slight
nourishment was given him. Yesterday
afternoon, evidences of the approaching
end were manifest and he failed to regain
consciousness after 3 o'clock, passing
away peacefully just after dawn broke.
About 1 o'clock this morning he rallied
sdmewhat from the stupor and turned
himself over In bed, but after .that he
gradually sank until the end came.
Several- days ago, realizing the critical
condition of Mr. Sherman, the mgmbers
of the household and relatives here
sent telegrams to a large number of -the
family connections throughout the coun
try notifying them of his extreme ill
ness and some were able to reach here
before he died Among those at the bed
side when the end came were Mr. and
Mrs. Colgate Hoyt of New York; Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Wiborg, of Cincinnati;
William K. Otis, of New York City;
Tecumseh Sherman, a son of the late
General Sherman; Charles M. Sherman,
of Chicago; Miss Lizzie Sherman, Mrs.
James McCallum, the adopted daughter,
who has "been Mr. Sherman's constant
attendant and har husband. General and
Mrs. Miles, the latter a niece of Secretary
Sherman, were at the house the greater
portion of the day and eyening, but left
for their home shortly after midnight
They were summoned when it was ap
parent that the end was near and reached
the house a few minutes after the ven
erable statesman had passed away.
Secretary Sherman's death occurred in
the Jiandsome home on K street which he
had erected eight years ago. Some weeks
ago the Secretary deeded this valuable
property to Mrs. McCallum. The Secre
tary was a large holder of real estate In
this city. Conservative estimates of hi3
wealth place It at around $1,000)00. It is
known that Mr. Sherman left a will, but
no information as to its contents or
even when it would be probated will be
obtainable until after the funeral.
T3ie Fnneral Arrangement.
-Therfunei,lJi3rranBements, so'far-asnhey
pertain to the services at Washington,
wore completed late this afternoon. They
willHake place at theresldence, Wednes
day afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. McKay
Smith, of St John's Episcopal Church,
being the officiating clergyman. Imme
diately after the service, the body will
be taken to Mansfield, O., where the
arrangements for the last rites have been
left In the hands of Rev. W. S. Kerr and
other friends of the family. Services will
probably be held Thursday in the Epis
copal Church, usually attended by Mr.
Sherman while In Mansileld, and the in
terment will be made that afternoon in
the burial lot by the side of Mrs. Sher
man. The party going from here will in
clude relatives and friends and also rep
resentatives of the State and Treasury
Departments.
The list of honorary pall-bearers Is still
t Incomplete, hut those Invited who have
'accepted Include the following: Secretary
Gage, Justice Hartan, of the Supreme
Court; J. A. Kasson. J. C. Bancroft Da
vis, J. D. Cameron, Senator Hawley and
M. M. Parker. The members of the Cab
inet now here will attend the services
at the house and President McKlnley will
!go to Mansfield from Canton to attend
the services there.
- Of the large family ot brothers and
sisters originally comprising the Sherman
family, only two brothers survive the Sec
retary. They are Major Hoyt Sherman
and Lampson P. Sherman, both of Des
Moines, la. The latter is In feeble health,
and It Is not likely that he will be able
.to attend the funeral at Mansfield. A
large number of telegrams of sympathy,
'most of them from Ohio, were received.
Sherman's Failing: Health.
Mr. 43herman nad not been in robust
health for considerably over a year. In
'March,-1900,- while on a pleasure 'trip to
the French and Spanish West Indies, in
company with a relative, Frank'Wlborg,
he suffered a severe attack of pneumonia,
which almost proved fatal. The ship on
which they were traveling touched at
Santiago, from which place reports came
to the United States that the well-known
statesman had' died. He rallied, however,
and the family accepted the offer of the
United States Government to bring him
back to the United States on the cruiser
Chicago, then in tha vicinity of San
tiago, and he was safely landed at Fort
"Monroe, and brought to his home in this
city. Here he gained strength, and was
strong enough "by Summer time to visit
his home in Ohio.' Hl3 remarkable vital
ity brought him through a relapse which
he suffered during the Tieated term, and
by August he had regained much of his
strength, and seemed to "be In good spirits.
He spent last Winter at his home In this
city, enjoying fairly good health, even
going out to social affairs and attending
the theaters with members of his fam
ily. The family left here early In the
Summer for the old homestead at Mans
field. They were there but a short time
when Mrs. Sherman, whose health had
been very frail, died. This was a severe
blow to the Secretary, from which he
never fully recovered. He remained at
Mansfield until the middle of September,
when he returned to Washington. He was
very much broken In health and spjrlts,
hut for a time he was able to move
about in the open air and to take shbrt
Tides around the city- For the past three
weeks or more, however, he had been
confined to his .bed, his general debility
being aggravated by an irritating bron
chial cough that hastened the end.
Among his former associates in the Sen
ate his demise will be sorely felt, without
reference to party. In this field of ac
tivity his service had been particularly
able and successful. He had served so
long that experience added to his natural
talents! He was a recognlze'd authority
on all. great public questions, past nnd
present and he had at his fingers' end
all the facts, figures, etc., to give com
plete elucidation to a' subject He was
regarded as a guide, rather than a party
leader, for ls conservatism, caution,
Innate goodjudgment and tfower of effect
ive lexecutionirisplred confidencain any
line of action which he advised. This
was particularly truo In later years, when
he held a leading place in the Senate on
the questions of finance and foreign af
fairs. Amid the most heated arguments
and the widest differences, the entrance
of .the venerable Ohio Senator Into the
debate was the signal for a period of
calm and dispassionate consideration of
the serious arguments of the case. His
appearance In a debate was often like
the sudejen entrance of a schoolmaster
Into a roomful ot unruly pupils.
In Pablie nnd Private Life.
Mr. Sherman was not regarded as a
great orator, 'His forte was more in the
cool analysis ot a proposition, appealing
to the judgment rather than to the emo
tions, and carrying conviction. He pre
sented the Blmple facts without any, at
tempt at ornate diction. (As a debater
he had .fe Equals. Of late years he sel
dom enterecRinto the discussion of lesser
toRics, but reservedhfe -voice for greater
questions. '
The appearance ofMr. Sherman added
to the Intellectual force tie exerted. He
Is well-remembered as he appeared on
the floor of the. Senate during (he finan
cial -debates -preceding the Presidential
election of 1S96. His tall, spare figure was
bent slightly forward over his desk as,
with his index finger extended, he laid
down the ifinanciaf principles of -which he
had been so ,cl0sk a studerlt. During tho
later months of his. service In the Senate,
Mr. -Sherman had -a" habit of speaking, and
then retiring f Wm the chamber, as though
all had been said. In earlier years he
was a most attentive listener, even to the
minor , routine of the Senate, and was
most considerate of those from whom-he
differed, particularly the newcomers.
In private life, Mr. Sherman was known
as a shrewd business man, whose habits
of Industry,, thrift and, economy had built
up a large5 fortune. When fn this city
Mr. Sherman spent most of the time in
his library. Here he could be found al
most every day, sitting in a great leatn
ern chair, before a wide, fiat desk, of an
tique pattern. The walls are coverea
with books, not, however, the books of
a ,. student or literary man, "but volumes
of historical data, giving the statistics
and treaties on public questions -with
which his mind had been so long en
gaged. He gave considerable time also
to looTdng after his large property in this
city, "k
ISA. Sherman was well known ahout tne
streets of this city. He was fond of
walking, and In his later years he. drove
almost every afternoon a large open car.,
rlage, accompanied, until her -death, by
Mrs Sherman. The -tall, straight-lined
stovepipe. hht,snot of the latest design,
was invariably worn by him, and his dress
was of a simplicity and Agnlty in keep
ing with the character of the man.
, The news of Mr. Sherman's death was
communicated to the State Department
"by E.,J. Babcock, for many years private
secretary a"nd clerk to Mr. Sherman in
his -various capacities as' Secretary ot
the Treasury, United States Senator and
Secretary of State, and at present prl
vate secretary to Secretary Hay. The
President was at once informed by the
department, and the flags on the public
buildings in Washington were lowered
to half-mast, so to stay until the funeral.
The President, as a mark of special honor
to the deceased, who was not at the time
of his death connected In any official ca
pacity wjth the Government of the
United states, resorted to the unusual
course of personally preparing, an exprcs-
alonf-'tlio-NatlonVnsrdef insttte ehaoe of
a proclamation descriptive of the personal'
qualities and civic abilities of the de
ceased statesman. At tne atate jjepart
ment, also, .a message was framed, to be
transmitted In multiple to the United
States Ambassadors, Ministers and
Charges abroad, officially notifying them
of the demise of ex-Secretary Sherman.
Tributes of Cabinet Members.
Ex-Secretary Sherman was known in
timately, not officially, but personally to
Secretary Hay ever since the. Civil War.
Mr. Hay said:
"In the death of Mr. Sherman the coun
try has lost one of its greatest citizens,
a man whose name was inseparably con
nected with all the great events and po'lU
cles of the latter half of the nineteenth
century, a man not only of extraordinary
ability, but of the most spotless charac
ter, and one whose personality as well as
his work, will always be a model and an
incentive-to the youth of the country."
Becretary Long.was notified of the death
after reaching the department He said:
"I can only express any deep regret
and unlimited respect for Mr. Shenrfan.
He was a remarkable man, one of the
eminent statesmen of this country, and
his name will be so recorded In history.
The country owes 3ilm double gratitude
for the services rendered while Secre
tary of the Treasury in maintaining the
National credit on a sound and conserva
tive basis." v
Secretary Gage said:
"Whether as a- Representative, Senator
or member of the Cabinet, Mr. Sherman
was at all times a distinctive force. He
had led the forces In Congress which
passed the resumption act in 1874. As
Secretary 'of the Treasury In 1877, It be-
l came his duty to carry into effect the
provisions of the law he had previously
Jn Congress done so much to' inaugurate.
In the performance of this duty he had
many difficulties to meet, but he -met
them with the' wise foresight, the steady
courage and the calm persistence which
the occasion demanded. History will, I
believe, point to that period a3 tho.most
brilliant In his career, and will recognize
that, In bringing back the National Treas
ury to specie payment on January 1,
1879, he accomplished the greatest and
most useful work of his long and fruitful
life."
President McKlnley was greatly affect
ed 4y the ilews of Mr. Sherman's death.
He Immediately directed that the White
House be closed to visitors, and the flag
of the Executive Mansion was placed at
half-mast. After ordering some beautiful
flowers from the White House conserva
tory, he went in person to Mr. Sherman's
lato residence td express his grief and
offer what consolation he could to the be
reaved family. Mrs. McCallum Informed
him of the funeral arrangements, and the
President decided not to delay his de
parture for Canton, if they were adhered
to, but to attend the funeral services at
Mansfield Thursday. ' Mrs. McKlnley later
drove to the Sherman residence and left
her card. It is probable that the Presi
dent will Issue an Executive order dos
ing the departments sn the day of the
funeral, as si. mark of respect to the dead
statesman. '
' In "Diplomatic Circles.
In diplomatic circles the news of Mr.
Sherman's death brouirnt many expres
sions of heartfelt regret, as the foreign
representatives- had been brought into in
timate association with him during hi3
service as Secretary of StatP. The French
Charge d'Affaires, M. Thlebaut, accom
panied by Captain 'Vipmal and M. Beofve,
of tho Embassy, took early occasion to
leave cards at the Sherman residence, and
other members of the corps paidithelr re
spects later. The Chinese Minister and
members of his, suite were among the call
ers about noon. M. Thlebiut spoke of
Mr. Sherman as a man whose name was
known -the world over as conspicuous in
the public'life andprogress of -this coun
try. Similar tributes were expressed at
the Russian and German Embassies. The
Chinese Minister. Mr. Wu, sald-that above

' 30SEBURG, Or., Oct. 22. Staff corre

the.Democrats claim Douglas Gpnnty. An
impartial view of the situation, witn
welgfit given to tho estimates ;of conserv
ative McKlnley and Bryan leaders, and
little allowances made here and Jft.ere
t orcgg,fhe- conclusion that"each tparty ha3
an equal chance to get a plurality. It
Is conceded that the June vote afford
the best basis for approximating the No
vember result. At the state election the
Republicans carried every office except
the Assessor-and one Representative by
pluralities ranging from 32 for County
Clerk to-688 'for District"1 Attorney. To
18 candidates the' Republicans gave an ag
gregate "of v 32,880 'votes, an average .of
1827, and the Fusioniststgave an aggregate
of 29,841, an average of. 1658. The average
Republican plurality was 169. ,It Is ad
mitted by Republicans and Democrats
that Blnger Hermann's candidacy for
United States Senator helped 'the Repub
lican ticket to the extent of about 50
votes, and that the contest over hogs run
ning at large added 20 more, a total gajn
of 70, Deducting these from the Repub
lican vote and giving ttiem to tho'Fu
sionists, it would appear that the vote of
Douglas County. under normal, conditions
In June would have been 1757 for the Re
publicans and 1728 for the Fusionists. For
the June election 4297 votes were regis
tered andl3923 cast, a shortage of 37l Tho
Democrats say that a majority, of the
stay-at-home Vote is" theirs,vb'ut more like
ly It is evenly divided. Conceding them
55 per cent which is their outside esti
mate, they would give Bryan 1934 votes
against 19"25 for McKlnley. Cutting the
stay-at-home vote in two on the suppo
sition that it will ajl'come out, McKlnley
would get 1944 and Bryan 1915. Barker
ought to got 150, Debs 50 -and the Prohi
bitionists about 75. Barker and Debs will
draw from Bryan, and the Prohibitionists
from McKlnley. These are'factors that
are taken into consideration by conserva
tive McKlnley and Bryan leaders, who aa
mlt that the county Is close.
McKlnley anil Bryan Estimates.
Tho outside Democratic estimate Is 150
plurality for Bryan. It Is that of Chair
man R. S. Sheridan, of the Democratia
stato committee. Senator Marsters say3
McKlnley will have about 50; Chairman
Crawford, of the Republican county com
mittee, puts It at 100 to 150, and Judge
J,,C..Fullerton, Republican candidate for
Presidential Elector., at 250. One of the
best-Informed- men In the Republican
camp is W. E. Conner, editor of tho
Roseburg Plalndcaler. He says the coun
ty is close, with the chances favoring
McKlnley. On the Bryan side, the man
who has the most Intimate acquaintance
with the rank and file of his party Is
Charles H. Fisher, editor of the Rose
burg Review, the Democratic organ or
Southern Oregon. Ho was asked to give
an estimate of Bryan's probable plurality
to nerve as a guide, and was told that un
less he consented he would not be quoted.
Mr, Fisher authorized the publication or
this brief statement: "I am not in a
position to make an estimate, as we are
notputtlng up the fight we usually do.
There was a good deal of disaffection In
our party inJune, buttmany who fought
fusion said they were Bryan men, and
we expect them to vote with us next
month. Whether McKlnley or Bryan car
ries the cbunty, he will not have much 01
a plurality."

trade has advanced to a high plane since
1E96. busiuess is better this Fall than ever
before in the history of the county. Land.
Is in demand for legitimate development,
and the Government holdings are gains
like hotcakes. Disposals of land In the
Roseburg land district, comprising wholly
or in part Benton, C003, Crook, Curry,
Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath,
Lane, Lincoln and Linn Counties from
July 1, 1S99, to June 30, 1900, were 6,058,251
acres, compared with 2,839,728 acres in
the 14 years from July 1, 1885, to June 3tf,
1S99. Officers of the land office say that
the disposals for the calendar year ending
December 31, 1S0O, will exceed those of the
fiscal year ending June 30 last. Thls,Js
but one of the many evidences of pros
perity that one sees on every hand in
Southern Oregon.
Bryan carried Douglas by 14L in 1896,
receiving 2059 against 1918 for McKlnley,.
25 for Prohibition and 21 for Palmer.
In 1898 the fuslenists held their strength
against the bolt of the Middle-of-the-
Road Populists and won all the offlc&s

Middle-of-the-Road Populists had 87 and
the Prohibitionists 67.
The June, 1900, campaign was a straight
up dnd down fight between the two par
ties, with an admixture of local issues to
give spice. The Republicans were harmo
nious from the start, with the exception
of a rupture between the Bridges and
Perkins .factions at Drain, which was
settled before any damage had been done.
Dissatisfaction with fusion made an in

strength, and squabbles In the camp com

474 plurality, was turned down for nomi
nation and his friends caused trouble.
Stephens thought he was entitled to the

KINGSTON,. N. Y. Oct 22: Governor
Roosevelt finished the first day of his
flying campaign through the state' ha
Kingston tonight, after traveling- 89 miles
and making eight speeches, the longest
being at Newburg and Kingston. At the
former place, the home of the Repub
lican candidate for Governor., he talked
to a vast assemblage, having to speak
in two places.
Spectators Interrupted the speaker with
questions, in every Instance receiving a
reply- At West Nyack a man close to
the car cried and reiterated: "Hurrah
for Bryan," and Mr. Roosevelt replied:
"Why don't you hurrah for Altgeld and
Agulnaldo?" The cheering ceased. An
other called out: 'What about the Ice
trust," and he answered: "This election
will be decided by the patriots and men
of sense In the country who outnumber
the shouters of your type. The Ice trust
will be attended to In a proper and ,a
legal way."
A man In the crowd at Newburg said.
In a low tone of voice, "Why did you call
Democrats cowards and dishonest?"
Roosevelt heard him and flung quickly
this characteristic reply: "It's a lie; I
never said such a thing. It Is Democrats,
good Democrats, who swell our majori
ty." Toward the end of his remarks at New
burg, the Governor was Interrupted a
number of times by shout3 of "What Is
the matter with Bryan?" "Down with the
trusts."
Governor Roosevelt remarked: "That
gentleman has all tha symptoms of a
Bryanlte," which sally was greeted with
laughter and applause. Then, walking
over to one side of the platform and
speaking directly towards the point from
which the shouts arose, the Governor
said:
"You look like one of those men who
work exclusively with their mouths. What
do you mean to do with the cotton-bale
trust of Mr. Jones' or the ice tru3t of Mr.
Croker's? (Cries of "What's the matter
with Bryan? He's all right") That Is
an argument of wind. You are afraid
to hear the truth. You Interrupt this
meeting because you are a hoodlum and
nothing else. You represent the disor
derly class that Is naturally against us
You represent those people who not only
object to prosperity, but who do no get
any of It, because you won't work. CAp
plause.) Now go back to your fellow
hobos and learn that after this (more
yelling and the man evidently turned
to depart) that you stand against the
flag. You have not got a particle of
patriotism In ou. I am glad you are
going away. I think you have learned
enough hereafter hot to monkey with
the buzzsaw. (Long continued applause.)
Now, gentlemen, in the temporary ab
sence of the local police, I have driven
off that disturber of tha meeting." CAp
plause.) At Newburg the party was entertained
at Mr. O'Dell's home.

of It within the confines of New York
State and outside of the "Greater City'

minutes to two hours In duration. Gov
ernor Roosevelt left Weehawken by
special train on the West Shore .this
morning at 11 o'clock.
Tomorrow he climbs to the apex of
the Catskllls, descending on tho other
side of the range into the Susquehanna
Valley. From there he runs up and
touches at points along tho Mohawk; then

The Governor uncovered and said:
"My throat Is not In good condition for
mo to say much, but I will say a few
words. We are going to knock them out
on the 6th."
At "West Nyaclc.
WEST NYACK. Oct 22. "Hurrah t for
Bryan" shouted a man In the small crowd
of people that greeted the Roosevelt spe
cial train at this place, its first stop to
day. "Why don't you hurrah for Altgeld or
Agulnaldo?" retorted Governor Roosevelt,
and the man subsided, while the crowd
cheered and waved flags. The Governor's
voice was good and he made himself
plainly heard. He said In part:
"I am now back in my own state and
I come to appeal to you, whose repre
sentative at Albany in the Executive
chair I am, to ask you to vote and stand
by the cause of civic honesty, of clvlo
decency, of National prosperity and Na
tional honor. You have been asked, by
our opponents at different times what
were the paramount Issues in this cam
paign. I can tell you. The paramount
Issue for the whole Nation Is, once for
all, to stamp under foot Bryanlsm. And
with It, In this state, goes the less Im
portant question of the 'stamping under
foot of Crokerlsm. Bryanlsm means dif
ferent things In different places, but
fundamentally it means an appeal to the
lowest passions, to those qualities that
In the last analysis are most dangerous
to the welfare of the people.
"I ask you to .compare the Nation aa
it now stands wjth what Mr. Bryan pro
phesied four years ago and to com
pare the government of New York Stato
with that of New York City and then
make up your minds if you are willing
to desert the state and turn it over to
the rule of Tammany Hall."
At Congers there was a small gathering.

special train. Introduced John Laughlln,
of Buffalo, who made an address.
