Ten former Spanish soldiers, who were captured by the Filipinos and for a time acted as officers and members of a Filipino regiment of artillery locat ed in tho vicinity of anta Ilosa, in the Inguna de Bay district, determined to surrender the artillery to the Ameri cans. The plot was discovered by the Filipinos, who killed seven of the con spirators, the other three escaping to Manila. It appears that when the surrender was agreed on the Spaniards delegat ed one of their number to proceed to Manila and to propose to General Otis to surrender after a prearranged mock battle, about twelve pieoas, inclu -ing Krupp and Nordenfeldt' rapid-fire guns, well supplied with ammunition from the Lipa powder factory, in ex change for certain sums to bo paid the Spaniards, who were to bo pardoned for carrying arms against the Ameri cans and to bo transported to Spain. The delegate left Santa Rosa and, accompanied by three Filipinos, en tered tho American lines at Calamba. Tbo Filipinos did not proceed far, de ciding to await his return at a given time. Ab the delegate was detained in Manila lODger than they had ex pected, they grew supioious and re turned to Santa Rosa. The plot was then revealed and the remaining Spaniards were attacked. The gunboat Napidan, coasting near Santa Rosa, perceived two men on the beach hurriedly embarking in a canoe Bnl pushing out toward them. It took them on board and they reported that the Filipinos, on discovering the plot to surrender the artillery, had cut the throats of seven of their Spanish com panions and that they themselves had barely escaped with their lives The three Spaniards are now hldiue in Manila, fearing Filipino vengeance. General Otis had declined their offer through the delegate to surrender the artillery for money, but he promises to send the three to Spain. Aguinaldo Bend m Book. 10 30 p. n.

It has made a sensation among the Spaniards here. Replying to Aguinaldo'- request that the Americans would arrage for tbeshipment of Spanish prisoners to Hong Kong, relieving the Filipinos of the expense of maintaining them, Mr. Wildman wrote: "Never mind feeding them. A meal every day of rice and water will be a good diet. They have been living too high during the last ,ew years. As the Spaniards want IO v A.

In cons quence of the fact that a large number of employers are alleged to be unnecessarily forcing their em ployes to work long hours per day under the pretense of overtime, tho executive council passed resolutions condemning the practice. The organization of the workers of the far west was again taken up und the officers located at headquarters were instructed 10 keep in close cor respondence with the organizers and to submit the names of additional or ganizers to the executive council for approval.

Ohio Senator Discusses Question of Trusts In a Speech Deliv ered at Cleveland. Says the porrrjatiOQ of Corobirjes Is Simply fin Evolutior) of Business Methods. Cleveland. O., Oct. 19. Senator llanna in a tpeecii ueioru iuu i mu District Republican club tonight do fined his position regarding tho trusts. On this subject he said: "The democrats say I am afraid to t-ilk about the trusts. That ?eltlo it. I'm going to talk about them. This combination of capital for one purpo-o or another is not a political question at all, it is a business question and ought not to have been brotignt into politics. When oar industries were in their infancy, England and other countries came along and sold goods in this country at prices less than asked in their own country. "Then followed tho protective tariff law enacted by that friend of the work ingman, William McKinley. Having secured this protection, Amorican manufacturers went abroad. They are ruaKing rapid strides and success fully competing with the whole world. It is evident they cannot continue to do so unless they have combined capi tal. We ought to own and control our own merchant vessels. We would thon bo in shapo to make our own rates and compete with othor nations On an equal footing. "We have reached a stage where we aro doing more exporting than import ing. The last y ar was the first year in tho hisiory of the country that thi3 was true, but wo must look to the fu ture. We must stand prepared for the Chang s th t are bound to come. This formation of combines is simply an evolution in business methods. Should railways own tboir own steamship lines there would bo a marked change in the rates. All this requires capital and such a tremendous umout thut no ordiuarj corporation eould stand it. "The so-called trusts are not new. They have been found in England and Germany as far back as 200 years and arc increasing. Therefore, from a business standpoint, the formation of these combinations in one sense is a step forward. Tbo democrats will have you believe that they aro terrible anacondas and will swallow us up. "However, if the trusts aro a rrcnace to the country, what party better than the republican can give you re lii f ? When it comes down to plain facts the various labor organizations a-o a sort of trust and I be.ievo in them and always have. They are, I believe, for tho purpose of helping tho individual members. Tho employer should go hand in hand with tho or ganizations of tho employed. In that wav much good could be done.'' llig I'allman Car OiyhtemU. CniCAOO, Oct. 19.

Back In the days when the North State street cars were drawn to and from town by the lazy methods of tired horses a woman boarded a car at Lake street and, taking a scat, pie pared to enjoy a luxurious mental and physical rest, as she lived north of Division street, and the trip would be like sweetness long drawn out. llut fate and tho obliging conductor had other ends In view for the weary pas senger. When she paid her fare the amiable official volunteered to break his usual silence with the consoling re mark: "Madam, your house Is on fire." "What!" screamed the frightened woman. Jumping to her feet in alarm. "Ves, madam," explained the conduc tor. "1 saw the engines out in front as I passed the corner." The woiii-'ki sank hack into her .seat in demoralized despair. The car fairly crept north ward in its homeward journey, airl every turn of the wheels brought a new trial and trouble to the frightened house owner. :he pictured her chil dren burned ;is the greatest of evils added to the loss of hr furniture nnl clothes us the least. She lirii.cl the conductor to hurry, he in turn argued with the driver, who threatened tbj' backs of the lnry horses with the reins until they manured to so a t rifle lasur than a walk. Hut to the itnpi isoned victim the car fairly crept lliroiiJh space. She counted every street as it was left behind, and two squares be fore she could possibly reach home she was out en ihe I'ront platform accom panied by the sympathetic conductor, endeavoring to discover signs of the harrowing conllagrai ion in front of her home. Ami. all too true, there were the engin-'.; and firemen, there was the smoke it" not the lire issuing from the windows, there was the usual gathered crowd. "Oh. huriy," she cried out to the driver, aud hmy he certainly did. The horses fairly galloped up Slate street, and within a half block of Di vision street the harassed passenger jumped fiotn the platform, unable longer to bear the strain of waiting. She ran up the middle of rtie street to her own familiar block of houses, only to find her own home safe and sound, and her own children in their healthy bodies busily helping the fireman. For it was the next door home of hr neighbor that was burning. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they ca'inot reach- the diseased portion of the ear.

The greatest alorv of Canada is not its modern progress, but its vast and ancient wilderness, says Scribner'3. If you weary of the sameness and unprof itableness of everything you know, go where I went last year, to the upper waters of the Ottawa, where the heaver is the master architect and the moose is kins of the woods. See for yourself, as I saw, that the Ottawa and the Ga- tineatt, appearing to come from widely distant regions, have their origin clos toeether and are twins. Heboid these two children of the lakes, nourished from the same generous brea.-t. Trace their courses and sec that, though journeying far in widely diiiorent rections, they finally arrive at a com mon destination. Xobody knows all about that headwater country around the sources of the Ot -wa. It is a prolific game region, where .-portsmen rarely go. for the simple reason that they can get all the hunting they want nearer to the lailroad. There are plenty of deer close to almost any Canadian racific station wc?t of Pem broke, and it is not much trouble to get a chance at a moose in two clays from Deux Rivieres. Rockrlin'e, or Mattawa. Not many hunting parties start from there, either, and I suppose the reason is that for thousands of miles to the west the woods, prairies and mountains lie close to the railroad and afford almost limitless opportuni ties. The territory inclosed by the Ottawa and the Gatineau has been from immemorial times the home of the Algonquin Indian?, and they still remain there, in such primitive inno cence that they receive no annuity from the Dominion government. In this they are unlike the Indians of the United States or their brother tribes of Canada. Tho "Tlow Boy Preieher,' Rev. J.

For years "Gaff" was the ideal umpire of the league, and it was only when his wanderings from the straight and narrow path of sobriety became an almost daily occurence that President Young gave him his walking papers. As was said before, when the league lost Gaffuey, it lost Its best umpire. The announcement that Gaffncy would be back on the staff last season brought joy to the players aud specta tors alike, for his return meant that games in which he officiated were in telligently umpired, the l tiles; enforced and no favorites played. Gaffuey haa not touched a drop of liquor in twelve months. "I could never see uhere there was any pleasure in not drink ing." said Gaffney, when the Iteds were in Hoston, "and for eleen years T kept my skin well filled with rum all the time. Today I nm stronger and heav ier than ever I was and I do not believe I ever will drink again. "It is surprising to me that umpires have so much trouble in those days when everything is made so easy for them and they have such siiong rules to back them in anything they do. i wonder how these men who now seem unable to call balls and strikes proper ly, and the others who can nor give :i base decision as it should be j.iveii. would have fared in Ihe days when there was no double umpire system; When players called for a high or n low ball and pitchers were lifteen feet closer to the batsman than they now are? That is wii.it we bad to do. and there was not near so much kicking s there is now. An umpire of today, f he does his duty, has an easy time of It compared to what lie had ten years figo." Gaffney is a gr-vtt admirer of Umpire .Tack Sheridan, who w.is driven on, of the league by Manager I anion of Ihe Hnltinicres, and a few oihers. "I was paired with Sheridan during tho Brotherhood year." said Gaffney. "and found him a man of excellent judgment and active brain. He is as good an umpire as ever I saw." With Sheri dan. Emslie, Lynch. Cushman and Sw.irtwood on the league staff, n - sist- nt umpires would not be needed. What Do the Children Drink?
