Congressman Watson's suggestion
that, an island In the I hillppiucs b
set apart for the anarchists, where
they mlfjht, uninterrupted, work out
their own scheme of sociology, is
worthy of careful consideration.
.Death may not, deter anarchists from
their work, but the fear of deporta
tion to such a place might. They
would realize then that, they would
have to take their own medicine.
All ICilleil In Mlilxt or OimviIn.
' It may be un-American for a presi
dent, of the United States to avoid
promiscuous assemblages, but. It is a
Hlgnllcant. fact that President, Car
not, King Humbert and .Mr. McKinley
were all three struck down in the
midst of a crowd. Such a price is
too high to pay even for the distinc
tion of being an American of the
Americans, nud it ought not to bo
exacted of our executive until bettor
provision Is made for his security.
Aiititrctln Point UcNcurcli.
While 1'eary is reporting the results
of his quest for the north pole and
Ualdwhi is pressing on with his expe
dition through the lee fields the Hrlt
ish anarctie expedition is well on its
way into the south polar regions. The
director of the expedition is to de
termine the nature of the south polar
lands and make a magnet lo survey
as well as meteorological and physical
investigation. The geographers will
explore the ice barrier of Sir .lames
JJoss to ItH furtherest eastern extrein
ity. Already Too Artificial.
A Connecticut woman claims to
have discovered a method of making
artificial milk. Unfortunately the
N idea is not new. People in cities are
not always sure that, they are con
suming real milk or butter. Several
years ago artificial eggs and oysters
were announced, but have not ob
tained, as far as known, a place In
the arcann of adulteration. Molasses
is glucoso and ehampagno is a decoc
tion of dried apples. Milk is already
tool artificial. Let' invontorB insure.
its purity.

Manila, Oct. 1. -(len. Hughes,
from the island of Samar, reports the
arrival of Sergt. Markley anil one
private at Tannan from the tight at
liiilangiga, where over 10 of the 7U
men of company C, Ninth infantry,
were killed by Insurgents, who at
tacked the troops while at breakfast
Saturday last. The men who havo
reached Tannnii nay that the otlicers
of the company, who were at, first,
reported to have escaped, were killed
with the majority of the company.
The troops were attacked while un
prepared by 100 holomcu, of whom
the Americans killed about M0. .Many
of the soldiers were killed in their
quartern before, they had time to
grasp their rifles. (Jen. Jiughes is go
ing to the scene of the disaster and
will personally command the troops.
A new branch of the ICatipuuau has
been discovered at, Tarlae, capital of
the province of that name. The ob
ject, of the society Ih the slaughter
of the whites. Marcellno Mariville,
president of lianoang, is the chief of
the new branch, which includes num
bers of the native constabulary, who
were recently armed. One policeman
admits that In wiih taxed $1 and was
ordered to make bolos. A regular col
lection has been made by the organ
ization from the natives, either by
persuasion or threats, and mi uprising
had been planned for an early date.
'Phe conditions in TnyahiiH and l'n
tangas are not, reassuring. The worst,
form of guerrilla warfare prevails
there. The insurgent forces are dis
tributed, under cover, along every
road and trail, and wait for travelers
in ambush. The insurgent leader,
Cnlmllos (who formerly belonged to
fien. Callles' command, but, who re
fused to surrender with Cailles), is re
treating to the mountains. The main
forces of the insurgents are scattered
in bauds over the province, where
they dig up rllles and, when there io
an opportunity, use them.
Wur Dtipiirttnuiit Not Surprised.
Washington, Oct. 1. News of the
renewed activity on the part of the
insurgents has been expected nt the
war department since the assassina
tion or President .McKinley. The de
tails of the shooting of President Mc
Kinley have not been received hi "the
Philippines. All that is known is that
he was killed by an anarchist. The
natural inference tliat, the ignorant
natives would draw is, that the pres
ident being dead, the United Slates
would be bordering on a state of an
archy and revolution. This would em
bolden those who are still In the field
to greater activity. i
Further bad news would not, sur
prise any one hi the war department.
Adjt. (len. Corbin said that Saiiiar was
one of the most fertile of the Philip
pine islands, and had an area equal
to the state of Ohio. It was never
subdued by the Spaniards, and is in a
very wild and uncultivated state. The
natives near the sea are all friendly,
mid (len. Hughes said, when (len. Cor
bin visited the island, that there were
only about :K10 insurgents in Samar.
These, he sold, were, scattered, and if
he could only get them together in a
body ho felt certain he could faclfy
the island in an hour. I'urstiit. will
be a very ditllcult thing, because there
are. very few passes through the. dense
woods and only recently $20,000 was
sent to Gen. Hughes to be expended in
road building. Gen. Corbin lias tele
graphed Gen. ChnlTeo for n complete
list, of the dead and wounded. The
fighting must have been very severe
and the number of insurgents over
whelming, when 48 men out of 72
were killed and 11 wounded, leaving
only 13 of the entire command to es
cape unscathed. Company C was a
portion of the Ninth regiment of in
fantry which went to China at tlio
time of the boxer outbreak, and
while there performed valiant serv
ice. Later the troops were returned
to Manila and engaged In provost
duty in that city. During the past
Rummer a battalion of the Ninth was
sent to Samar.

Uepublie City, Kan., Oct. I. Seven

Pike, the man who first raised the
stars and stripes on Kansas soil. Tho

GRATIFYING, SAYS GAGE.
.Secretary or tlio Trcumiry Snya Uotorinneiit

(Iriidiinlly Dcercimlntr.
Chicago, Oct. 1. Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, who is staying a few
days at the home of his son in
Evanston before going to Colorado to
spend his vacation, said in regard to
tlie present large surplus in the treas
ury. "The prosperous condition of
the country must be most gratifying.
L'rom June 30, 101, to September 20,
the revenue amounted to $130,000,000.
The expenditures during tills time
were $121,000,000. Tills left an excess
of nearly $15,000,000. During the
same period in 1000 the. receipts were
$130,000,000 and the expenditures the
same. It was estimated when the
present revised revenue law was put
in force on -July 1, tliat the revenue
receipts from all sources would fall
oil' some $10,(100,000 by reason of the
reductions made. If that had been
realized the receipts since that time
would have been $7,ri00,000 less, or
$128,000,000. Notwithstanding the re
duction in taxes, the receipts have
diminished by h'sn than $3,000,000
from what they were a year ago,
while the expenditures have decreased
by over $17,000,000 for the same pe
riod." THE STORY DISCREDITED.
Friend or tlie Ale Kliilny Family Do Not

amtfl tlio rrcMdulit'n Tomb.
Canton, 0., Oct. 1. Friends of tho
late President McKinley emphatically
discredit, belief tliat the shot reported
fired by the guard Dcprcnd at West
lawn cemetery last night was on ac
count of any attempt to desecrate the
tomb. They do not attempt to ex
plain the strange story of the guards
or account for the firing of the shot
which cemetery ofllcials and other
residents nearby say they heard, and
they do not believe that two men
would undertake to make an attack
on the vault, with seven Boldiers on
guard or near at hand. It is believed
that the military authorities will
make a thorough investigation of the
stories told by the soldiers on guard
Sunday night. There are unconfirmed
rumors that the shot was fired on
account of an accidental fall and also
that it was the result of personal
differences.
TO HONOR McKINLEY.
I'ropnultloit to C'liimire Name of Pliltlpnlno
tvland to tlio ".McKinley Island," to
l'nrpotiiato I.uto l'renldent'H Name.
Washington, Oct. J. A suggestion
emanating from a high source, and
which is meeting with widespread fa
vor, is to change the name of the
Philippine islands to the McKinley
islands. The object is, of course, to
perpetuate the name and glory of
the martyred president and his ad
ministration. t is intended to bring
the proposition before the next con
gress, and it is not doubted tliat It
will be accepted without question if
presented in tlie proper manner. It
is pointed out, that this proposed
change would link his name with the
government of the country for all
time, and also would be a constant
and conspicuous reminder to future
generations througlu-.it the world
that it was in his administration that
the republic expanded its influence
to the orient.
Tlio Kidnaping; or .MIkh Stone.
Washington, Oct. 1. The state, de
partment has concluded from its last
advices that there is reasonable doubt
as to the nationality of the brigands
who kidnaped Miss Ellen Stone. The
reports of the mission board 'have
not acquainted the department with
the present plans of the brigands, if
that bo known to them.
Salary Duo to tlio I.utn President.
Washington, Oct. 1. Warrants
were drawn at the treasury depart
ment Monday in settlement of the
salary due the late president at the
time of his death. The amount, was
$l,Sfifi.SS. Warrants also were drawn
covering Mr. lloosevelt's salary to
October 1, or 17 days, and aggregat

JEWELL AND EVANS.
Two Commandgrs in Santiago Bat
tle Give Interesting Testimony.
Tlio Former CodtnutlcM a Statement Made
by Schloy to tlio Navy Department
Kiiin Suyit tlio Hrooltlyii'n
Loop Win Wrong.
Washington, Oct. 1. While Com
mander Soiitherlaiul was on the
stand in the Schley court of inquiry
Monday he was asked whether if the
fleet of Cervera had been in tlie har
bor at Cienfiiegos it could havo been
seen by tlie vessels blockading the
port. J le replied: "I cannot definite
ly say. Not unless they had anchored
in the lower harbor jifst inside of the
entrance in the deep water where the
schooner to which I referred before
was anchored. I do not believe they
would have anchored in that spot."
The first new witness of the day
was Commander James M. Miller, who
was in command of the collier Merri
mne while that vessel was a part of
Admiral Schley's flying squadron. His
testimony related altogether to the
condition of the sea May 23, 21, 2.") and
20 and the wisdom of coaling vessels
at sea. Miller said there was no time
during tlie four days when the Merri
miic could not take coal at sea, but
the Merrhnae wns an unusually steady
vessel.
dipt. Miller was succeeded on the
witness stand by Capt. Theodore F.
Jewell, who commanded the cruiser
Minneapolis during the Spanish war.
Capt. Jewell said that he first fell in
with tlie flying squadron under com
mand of Commodore Schley on the
evening of May 2(5. Capt. hem ley quot
ed from Admiral Schley's letters to
the senate committee on naval affairs,
dated February IS, ISO!), saying: "Aft
er having been informed by the scouts
commanded by such officers as Sigs
bee, Jewell and Wise, that, although
they had been otr Santiago for a
week they had seen nothing of Cer
vera's fleet since it left Curneoa," and
asked whether he had given to Ad
miral Schley this information or any
other information concerning the
Spanish licet, the witness replied: "I
gave 'him no information with refer
ence to that subject whatever."
Capt. Uobley D. Evans was the only
witness in the afternoon. Describing
the battle of Santiago Admiral Evans
said: "When Ceryern's lleet came out
of Santiago harbor the Iowa was at
the center with the Brooklyn to the
left and the Texas between. I saw
the Hrooklyn when the fight began.
When I reached the bridge of the
Iowa the hrooklyn was still oil' to
the westward headed, I should say,
northwest. That was just as the
fight began. I saw her again possibly
five minutes afterward when she was
steaming westward very fast firing
her port battery, headed northwest
toward the head of the Spanish col
umn. 1 did not see the Itrooklyu
again until my attention was cal'ed
to her by the navigator calling to me:
'Look out, captain, for the Texas.'
I walked over to the port side of
the bridge and saw the llrooklyn's
smokestack and military masts. She
was lying directly across the bows of
the Texas. The Texas was appar
ently backing and dangerously close
to the Iowa. The Hrooklyn seemed
to be 100 yards directly in front
of the Texas, f eased the helm of
the Iowa a little, ported her
helm a little, and just at that moment
the Oregon came through my lee and
passed between me and the Texas
and the three boats were bunched to
gether. At the time the Hrooklyn
was shut out in the smoke, and I saw
no more of her until the Colon had
passed well to t lit westward of me,
when some one on the bridge said:
'The Hrooklyn is knocked out.' T went
on the bridge to see what had hap
pened and she was then about a mile
nnd a half forward of the port beam
of the Iowa with the colors seven or
eight miles a head on her starboard
bow. From that time on tiie firing
was light and I could see the Hrook
lyn occasionally. The Hrooklyn was
on our starboard bow on the port
quarter of the Colon. Well astern of
her wns the Oregon, with the Vixen
otl shore of the Hrooklyn. The Iowa
at the time was directly in the wake
of the Colon with the Vixen a little
on her starboard bow." Admiral
Evans said that the weather amis such
that the Iowa could not have coaled
from the Merrhnae between the
morning of the 2.1th and the morning
of the 2Gth of May. Admiral Evans
said that the otlicinl chart showed
the llrooklyn's loop was wrong.

London, Oct. 1. "Mr. Kruger," says
