THE MORNING ASTORIAN. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1903 AN EfFICIENI FORCE IMIIMIMMXE COXSTABV- LAItY DO UOO! WORK. Captain Allen's Kxrt to War 1 Deftartiuent Paollieatou Nver m FvrHl)U. L WASHINGTON', Feb. 18,-The ar department has made public a rep of Captain Henry T. Allen. Sixth cav Olry, dated Manila, December 15, con cerning the Philippine constabulary of ' which he I. chief. Captain Allan say. the constabulary consists ot SCO men and was able to control, without the aid of troops the province of Abra, Uontoc. Union. Lepanto, BoiyrueU Nueva Vlscaya. Batsan, Principe and Infanta. ITp to the date of te report there had been only two men loet from the ' force by desertion- showing attribu ted to the care In the selection of the men. Captain Allen aays that experi ence has shown that the cost of a single constable for one year does not exceed $250 gold, while the cost ot maintaining an American soldier or dinarily is reckoned at about U0O0. Captain Allen states that in chasing down tho robber bands, the constabu lary unquestionably is more efficient "than the American troops and while one large garrison in many, of the provinces may be always necessary it is his opinion, after a thorough study of conditions that In one years V time 15.000 American soMlers with na tive contingent of troops and con stabulary, will suffice to garrison the Philippine archipelago. Captain Allen says that the general conditions of the Islands as regards pacification have never been so fa vorable a now. when the "crumbling from the top," la duly manifested. In tils opinion the campaign in progress In Batangas and Laguna will be the coup de grace of the insurrection. The better class of people, lie says, are ex tremely tired of the struggle, and ar dently desire peace. The recent en acted sedition law. toe says, has had ; a potent value in bringing evildoers l a realisation of their allegiance to . law and order. In a recapitulation j of the work of the constabulary for a little over four months it Is shown that in 15 engagements W outlaws have been kHled. 20 wounded and 374 captured .:;-.'. ' ' Captain Allen says that while the municipal police have in large part aided both the army and the constab plary it is lacking- in organisation, armament and instruction cannot be reckoned on for serious work without these advantages. , Captain - Allan- believes that the ' present force of 8500 men in the con stabulary should be doubled, and sub mit an estimate for the maintenance of such a force, including subsistence, transportation quarters and equippage to $l,250,00e a year.

Negotiations on for Wedding of Lire ' v eat Couple on jBarth. i HELENA.-Negotlattons are now pending for a marriage between the largest couple on earthMiss Ella Ewing f Oorln, Ma, and Edward Beaupre, each of whom Is eight feet In height and weighs In the vicinity of 400 pounds.. Miss Ewing is better known than Beaupre. having been on exhibition In the large cities of the country, while He.mpre has never Wen without the State of Montana. Beaupre was born i years ,afro In a Mimll hajmlet near ttw Canadian lvtlor, and Is of French descent. He itrew to man hood on a cattle nwh and during his younger days rode the range. At the age of 12, however, he begun to grow abnormally, and In three years had atttAlned such 'mmense di mensions that, no horse could carry trim and move In other than a walk, and he was perforce compelled to abandon his chosen profession. When 16 years of age he was more than able to do the work of a man, while at the present time he can pick up with one arm a 900 pound horse and carry It with ease. White he hss never tested himself to the utmost limit, he avers that he ran lift a ion weight Though physicians proclaim that Beaupre has not yet attained his full growth, he Is probably the tallest man in exlstanee. He has added two Inches to his height within the past twenty four months. He Is one of 'our chil dren of medium slsed parents, his fa ther being S feet 8 Inches, while his mother Is S fett 4 Inches, weighing re spectively ISO and 130 pounds. He hi a brother 10 years old who stands over 5 feet In height, even eclipsing Edward's record at that age. Miss Ewlng's parents are nlso me dium slxed individuals, her father be ing slightly under K feet id her mother still less. After she had reach ed the aue of 9 she begun to grow rapidly and at th age of 10 was feet 9 Inches tall. When her height reached f feet, P. T. Barnum's agent appeared on the scene and for some years she traveled with the I tarn urn & Bailey circus. With the princely salary paid her, she has erected a house to her own liking and conveni?ncs. For Instance, 15 feet ceilings. 10 feet doors, with corresponding windows. Her ham mock Is 15 feet long, while her toilet table Is 4V feet high, the bureau feet, and her bed 4 feet long. Realizing that a marriage between this couple will be an unprecedented event, some Montana friends of the "Giant i Cow bay" have written Miss Ewing Inquiring If she would enter tain a proposal of marriage emanat ing from Baupre, the latter having consented to participate therein. As yet no reply has been received, al though dally expected. Miss Ewlng's father, It Is said, has tried in vain for some time to indues some one to marry her, offering a home and liberal expense money as an inducement. While abnormally large, both are extrem-'ly well preserved. Beaupre's head measures 28 Inches around, his chest 54 inches, his hips 64 inches, and his neck 24 Inches. His feet Is 11 Inches In length, requiring a number 22 shoe, and nls hands measure 11 Inches from the base of the thumb to the tip of the middle finger.
