PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 23.-Marina
Comenol Orb Hosea Rial, the widow
Of DR.. Hosea Rizal, who was executed
\ in the Philippine islands by General
! Solavieja on December, &, 1896, is in
Philadelphia. DR.. Rial was the leader
Of the revolution. He had been presi.
dent Of Manila university.
Marina Comenol Orb had been q
student iii the university; an attach.
ment had sprung up, and on Dec. !.
the girl went into the thick of the bat
tie to meet her lover and they were
married, with band of revolutionists
as witnesses. The bride returned to
Manila, and two days later the young
husband was captured.
The Spanish general visited the pris.
oner and offered him life, liberty and
passports for himself and wife if he
would persuade the insurgents to yield.
Rial refused to buy his freedom at
such a price and he was shot to death
by the Spaniards.
Has Furnished Many Arms.
Mrs. Rial went to Japan and there
found sympathy and encouragement.
Through her arms and supplies Were
sent to the insurgents in the Philip
pines.
Many cases of arms and ammunition
have been shipped from Philadelphia to
Canada, whence they will be sent to
Japan. A well known arms manufac-
turing establishment is said to have
sent thousands of rifles, and is at work
completing more for the same purpose.
A band Of recruits will be sent from
America as soon as they can be collect
ed. The work has all been done so
shrewdly that the presence of Mrs.
Rial in Philadelphia has been known
to only two or three of her most trusted
friends.
Join Forces With Cuba.
One of the most important steps yet
taken by the Philippine insurgents has
been the resolution to join forces with
Cuba for their mutual interest. 1t is
said Mrs Rial has been mainly in.
strumental in drawing up an agreement
by which the Cuban junta and Philip.
pine patriots will act in unison. She
has teen in consultation with the most
influential Cubans.
Mrs. Rial will go from Philadelphia
to Japan, and it is her intention to head
the troops i'll person when she returns
to the island. The expedition which
Mrs. Rial will soon lead is the first or
ganization i'll the United States, but a
permanent organization has been
formed which will act in accord with
the Cuban junta for supplying troops
and war munitions to the forces in the

USE sun IN STUDY.
Colorado Signal Corps Learning the
Science of Heliograph Work.

Denver, July SO.-Since Captain w. A.
Glassford of the signal corps, depart
ment of the Colorado began his course
of hehograph instruction for the bene-
fit of about a score of officers in this
department who were at the beginning
lamentabIy inefficient in the art, nearly
200 hours of work have been consumed.
1t has been but a very few weeks
since the department commander, with
the sanction of the secretary OF war,
ordered 1S men to report at Fort Logan
to receive lessons in this valuable
branch of the army's service. Nearly
all of these men had a general idea of
the use of the heliOgraph when they
reported for duty, but their state of
proficiency was SO low that the signal
chief, in his last report, declared that
higher standard would have to be
reached, otherwise the abandonment of
the corps would be expedient. Finding
it impracticable to visit the many
posts of the department and spend
weeks of instruction in each, Captain
GlaSSford recommended that two men
from each post be detailed to Logan.
His advice was looked upon with favor,
and this morning, if the sun shines as
brightly it did yesterday. he will
communicate with a party near Nor
risOn, which in turn will flash to Fort
Logan One of the signaling parties is
in camp on Evergreen mountain, near
Morrison, and about II miles from Den
Yer. There are nine members under
command of Sergeant Kennedy. The
same number in charge of Sergeant
AnC.-, are at Fort Logan.
About next Monday the soldiers at
Evergreen will split up and form into
relays or stations. The latter will ex-
tend from the present post to Broad
moor, where the regulars and the ma
tiOnal guard are to soon engage in mil
itary maneuvers. The flash will then
be sent from the roof of the Equitable
building, this city, where Captain Glass
ford and his assistants, SergeantS Nc
Laughlin and McGlOne, are operating,
to Evergreen mountain From here, the
message will be sent to the first relay
reached. Despite the short course of
instruction SO far, the field men are
making great headway, so much, in
fact, that they will be able to teach the
workings of the heliOgraph to others,
each pair at their individual post.
1t will not be long now before field
telegraphing and ballOOning are taken
at this time is heliographing, but as
this branch is fast becoming understood
other methods of signaling will be in
trOduced. The balloon usually attracts
the most interest and each party will
be well equipped with an outfit for
soaring into the air and displaying
flags. There will be two kinds of air
ships used, both of which of course, will
be anchored to the ground. The trans
lucent balloon will be used on the
mountain fastness at night. When the
country is chopped up considerably. it
is impossible to signal on it's surface
for any large distance. To avoid the
irregularities of the ground, the bal
loon will be flown to a height of sew
succession of these night balloons are in
the air, communication between them
is an easy task, when the operators full
ly understand their business.

UTAH'S GIFT TO BRYAN.
People of That State Present $500
Gold and Silver Cup to the
Nebraskan

Salt Lake City, July 3O.-A banquet
was given to William Jennings Bryan
at Saltair, u, on the afternoon of the
18th inst, at which magnificent cup
was presented to him in behalf of the
miners of the state, as tribute of their
regard for the silver champion.
The cup is very beautiful and unique
piece of work. 1t cost $500 and in it's
construction about. ISL ounces of silver
were used The interior is lined with
gold valued at $12S. The heighth of the
cup from its base to the top of the lid,
is twenty-five inches. 1t is surmounted
hands on his tools, with his right foot
placed in graceful pose on a rock in
front of him. This rock is a unique fea-
ture, being composed of sixteen distinct
strata of silver and one of gold. Around
the main part of the cup are two silver
bands on which are represented in deli
cate carving Utahs chief agricultural
products. On one side is engraved the
inscription on a sort of shield extend
ing below the lower rim. Above this
the beehive, SurmOunted by an eagle
with outStretched wings In his wings
and on his breast there are sixteen sill
yer feathers to one of gold. On the other
side is a picture of the great Salt lake.
aloft a banner In another place is a
wreath of daisies, the flowers having
sixteen silver petals and one of gold.
The sego lily adorns the base and stem
of the cup, several of these being ar
ranged in graceful positions, rearing
their heads almost to the cups bottom.
On the round plate just above the base
are engraved views of the Eagle gate,
the temple and tabernacle.

SCARE AT FERRIS WHEEL.
Thirty Persons Narrowly Escape Pass
ing the Night N sar the Clouds.

Chicago, July 30-several persons had
a narrow escape from spending a night
in one of the cars of the Ferris wheel
last evening. One of the pipes that
feeds the boiler with oil gave out along
with two exhaust pipes at o'clock. In
car No. So, the only one occupied, thirty
men and women were making the trip
around the big wheel. When the oil
gave out the steam fell from 120 pounds
to 40 pounds in a few seconds. Chief
Engineer Lewis was at dinner, but
manager Rice succeeded in backing the
car with the people to the stand just as
the steam gave out. 4 second later the
people would either have been COM
PEELED to stay in the car over night or
be removed by rope ladders. One of
the occupants was woman who weighs
300 pounds and Manager Rice said last
eVenin there was the greatest eX-
citement among the passengers about
this one woman.
The car which contained the thirty
passengers was within a few feet of the
top. When the wheel was started back
ward they became excited and yelled to
the people below, asking what was
wrong. They were assured all was safe,
but not until the car stopped within
few inches of the level of the platform
were they satisfied.
