plates the maintenance of an army of

ho/ been completely established nnder
the proposed new civil service govern
ment and the garrison can safely .be re-
duecd to a peace footing.
There aro now abont 66,000 troops in
the Philippines and China and the orig
inal plan was to maintain an army of
00,000 men In the Philippines nntil a
stable government had been established.
The plan was to replace the volun
teers, numbering about 26,000, with
regulars to an extent (sufficient to
keep np all existing gnrrisouB through
out the archipelago, bat it has been
fonnd to bo,impracticable to do so nnder
existing conditions within the short
time intervening before tho 1st of July
next, when the volunteer army mast be
disbonded. The failure of the plan is
due to the laok of available officers in
this eonntry to organize the new regi
ments authorized by congress and not Ho
much to the difficulty of reornltlng the
regiments.

OFFICER ELLiofT, OP COLUMBUS, SHOT
BY NBQRO.
Officer Wood, Who Accompanied Officer
Elliott, In Tura Shot the Negro to Death.
Officers Had Been Called la by Negro's
Wile.
OolambnH, Ga., Jfaroli 28.—Polioe of
ficer William S. Elliott was shot and in
stantly killed by a negro desperado
named Jim Little in the back room of
No, 010 Fifth avenne, ooonpled by Lucas
Jackson, colored, about 8 o’olook last
night. Little was almost InBtantly shot
and killed by officer Marons H, Woods,
who was with offloer Elliott.
Little and his wife, Minnie, live in
the bottom, and on Sunday last he
threatened to kill her fpr some of her
misdoings, and actually made the at
tempt. Monday night he tiled to kill
her again, and Tuesday morning she
left him, coming in the oity to- the
hoase where the killing took place, and
notified the polioe of the prospective
trouble.
Last night Little went to the honse,
and violently breaking in the door of the
room with an axe, it is thought, de
manded his wife, bnt oonld not find her.
She had hid behind a dresser in the
front room of the honse. He then took
a seat hi the book room, stating that he
wonld wait nntil she returned. Joe
Tarver, a negro man, wont down Fifth
avenne to summon the policemen, while
a woman went in the other direction to
find them. The woman was saooessfnl
in finding Officers Elliott and,Woods,
and oarried them hack.
Tho offioora went to the side door of
the rear room, and started to go in,
Offloer Elliott slightly ahead.
Ae he pushed open the door, Elliott
asked, " What’s*he matter here?"
As he walked in, Little, who was evi
dently standing waiting for the offloers,
throat a pistol almost to Elliott'B breast
and fired.
The bullet straok the offloer fairly in
the breast, inflioting a mortal wennd.
The offloer Blightly gave way, reeled,
and then seized the negro, who was just
in front of him.
He did not have the power to -draw
his pistol and shoot, and his only words
were, "Ran here, Woods I"
Offloer Woods had his hand on his
own pistol almost the instant that be
saw the flash from the negro's pistol,
and drew it ont^and began firing at the
desperado, almost instantly. ‘
As fast as he oonld work his pistol ho
shot three balls at the negro mnrderer,
and each of the ballets took effect, cre
ating mortal wounds wherever they
straok. One of tho balls was fired jnst
as the negro had fallen to the floor.
The negio had time to lire only one
shot. Before he could pull tho trigger
of his pistol a second time he' had been
shot himself. If it had not been for his
quickness, Offloer Wood, also, would in
all probability have been shot.
Little died almost as soon as he Btruok
the floor.
Officer Elliott lingered abont flvo
minutes, and was not able to say any
thing more after the first call to his
comrade.
