Polite and Prompt Attention. ^ Faulkner. j The following introduction by an ! unremembered "explainer," tells the j story of the origin of the "Arkansaw Traveler." - Colonel Sandy Faulkner, the oiiginal Arkansaw Traveler, was born in G-^orgefown. Scott couDty,Kentucky, March 3,1803. He came to Arkansaw in 1820 and settled in Chiebot county on the Mississippi river as a cotton plaDter. Ia 1820, Colonel Faulkner, with his father, the late Nicholas Faulkner, a Virginian by birtb, took up his residence in Little Rock where he died August 4, 1874, at the age of 71 years. It is well known throughout the northwest that Colonel Faulkner was the original personator of the "Arkansaw Traveler." It was his pride to be known as such. The story, it i6 said, was founded on a little incident which occurred in the campaign of 1840, when he made the tour of the State in company with the Hon. A. H Server, Governor Fulton, Chester Ashley and Gov*? ^ > ?1_ . Ti ernor xen. une uay in me x>osioa mountain, the party approached a squatters for information of the route and Colonel '-Sandy*' was made spokesman of the company, and it was upon hie witty response the tune and story were founded. A great banquet was given in the famous ''bar-room" which used to stand near the Anthony House, and Colonel ; "Sandy" was called upon to play the tune and tell the story. Afterward it grew into popularity. When he substqoently went to New Orleans, the fame of the "Arkansaw Traveler*' had gone ahead of him, and at a banquet amid clinking glasses and brilliant toasts, he was handed a violen by the ther^governor of Louisiana, and requested to fav6r them with the favorite Arkansaw tune. At the old St. Charles hotel a special room . was devoted to his use bearing in gilt letters over the door, "Arkansaw Traveler." N DIALOGUE. Traveler?Hello, straDger. O. 1 f oiranger?xifiiu, juursen.

I Lawton Scouring the Country Captures the^Pilipino Gunboat, Cascoes and Launches. The Work of Our Commission. Manila, April 12 ?6:10 p. m.? Gen. Wheaton started at daylight with the Tenth Pennsylvania and the Second Oregon regiments and two j guns to drive the rebels from the | American right flank, between the railroad and the foothills. He met with slight resistance near Santa Maria, and had one man wounded. ; But the enemy bolted when shelled | by the artillery, and burned and j abandoned the town of Santa Maria, ! where a thousand rebels were supi posed to have been concentrated. During the rest of the day the enemy was in full retreat toward the mountains, burning the villages behind j the retreating force. Occasionally a few rebels dropped to the rear and fired at the advancing American troops from the jungle, apparently with the idea that this would check our advance and cover the retreat of the Filipinos.> But, finding these tac i;s ineffectual, these rebels scrambled after the main body. The American guard along the railroad has been materially strengthened, and it is not likely the rebels *?-1' in notfinn Jr? fllfl flltlirA TV 111 OUVA/UCU 111 gD??iUg 1U nuw ?MWM?v to as close quarters as they did yesterday, even if they return from the mountains. 6:50 p. m.?Gen. Wheaton has telegraphed to M?j. Gen. Otis saying: . "They would not wait to be killed." Gen. Lawton is scouring the vicinity of Santa Crux. He finds the rebels have decamped. He has secured a gunboat, six launches and two cascoes (lighters), comprising the Filipino fleet. These vessels were stuck in the mud of the river. Maj Gen. Otis has sent a dredge to the spot. the commission's work. The United States Philippine commission is heariog the leading residents of various nationalities, priests and Spaniards, numbers of them apparently voluntarily, on the subject of the future of the islands. The questions put to them all are: Do you believe the Filipinos are capable of self-government in the townships? Do you believe the Filipino3 are capable of self-government in the provinces? Do vou believe the Filipinos are capable of self-government in the archipelago? All of those who have been interrogated, including Filipinos who sympathize theoretically with independence, have replied to the third question, with remarkable unanimity, in J the negative. Independence, they j say, would result in chaos, endless j tribal wars and European interven- ' tion. A few of them think that provin- 1 ONLY ONE FORI S. S.

To be sure, the camp wa3 in plain sight of the captains residence, which was some mitigation of the hardship; but still it was separation; and to lighteen this terrible condition it was arranged that the bereaved husband and wife should signal to each other often with handkerchiefs. It was on the second day that the young wife was seated on the porch reading. "Tell me, Jane," she said, "is Arthur still signaling'?" "Yes, ma'am," answered the maid. "Then keep waving your handkerchief. I want to finish this novel." At the same moment in camp an officer from an adjoining company stepped up to the captain. "I say, old man," he asked, "why do you keep that man out theie waving a handkerchial?" ' Oh, it's merely a bit of signal code practice for him," he answered. "Say, I've got some good stuff inside."
