Irresistible.

When DR.. Clinkscales came back
from the Usage nation and gave such
a wonderful account of the fishing,
Bob O'Shea said he knew the story
was stretched; that if it had been him
he would never have come back-not
even for his clothes land he did not
think himself different from any other
man. But while the story was too
hard for Bob, it seems that Dick
Kerens, the great Cotton Belt railroad
magnate and President Yoakum, of
the Frisco, took it in, and also se-
duced Gen. Perry Heath, first assist
ant postmaster general, and Col. Bing-
ham, superintendent Of public grounds
in Washington, and those four worth
les are coming out for a fish the first
week in November Just what bait
they are in the habit of using is un-
known, but our friend, the doctor, in
dulged in nothing more extravagant
than grasshopners, and 'scut bait"
But the weatheris rather more chilly
than when the latter was out.

A Wonderful Work.

Inc Eplso0pH ls not generally
regarded as q missionary church
and yet the most successful and
extensive work among the Indians
Of the northwest has been per-
formed by Bishop Hare, ofthat
denomination
Twenty. five years ago Bishop
Hare then "a young man of "a. left
his home in Philsdelphia and went
out to spread the gospel among
the Sioux. Nh In these twenty-five
years he has gathered an army OF
over 5000, among them warriors
who fought with Sitting Bull when
Custer lost his life,. and others
who were the terrors of the coun-
tryin the early border days. But
these days are over. The tepee
has given place to-the house, the
medicine lodge to the church and
school and all this has come about
through the self-denial and heroic
efforts of Bishop Hare. Every
fall delegations from the Ogallalas,
the Sissetons, THE Blackfeet, the
Santees, the Wahpetons and other
Sioux tribes, come to the great
convocation of churchmen. Some
of them are on the road for days
and as they wind over the hills
and plains, not the warwhoop is
heard, but a hymn, strangely
sweet, now and then breaks upon
the silence of the way. When the
meeting place is reached, tents
are pitched and the Dakota prairie
looks as if an army had encamped
there.
The scene is described as one
never to be forgotten, as they sit |
down att the table of the Lord, the
largest number of communicates
at any diocesan convention in
America Under the blue sky the !
long 'aisles Of their cathedral
stretch from horizon to horizon;
the chancel rail is the meridian of |
latitude, and upon a. carpet of
buffalo grass the altar is raised. |
AS the notes of the professional
roll toward heaven the delegations
from the various tribes move
slowly toward the altar, their
banners raised alofr, and with them
come the Indian and the white
clergy with the bishop.
The mission Of South Dakota |
reaches thirteen tribes, and out of
population of $4,000 Indians
over 5000 have been baptized and
nearly 5000 confirmed Not one
of the churches or chapels is en-
numbered by debt or mortgage,
and SO great is their sincerity that
they not only aid in. supporting
their native clergy, but they also
send contributions for domestic
and foreign missions.

REVOLUTION IN PORTO RICO.
Two Leaders shot. But the Senti-
ment Is Growing.

Information has been received in this
country of the recent discovery in Porto

of insurrection, such as now exists in
Cuba and the Philippines.

the active leaders in the incipent insur-
rection, have been executed and three
others. Antonio Catera. Miguel Moravk
and Jose Muro, are prisoners waiting trial
by the military court. which sentenced
their two companions to death
The conspiracy was discovered by the
Spanish postal authorities in the island
through letter written by Castillo to
Baselga. Gen. Macias was informed of it
and quiet investigation disclosed the
fact that a number of the most promi-
nent residents OF the city both native
and foreign, were involved. The head
quarters of the conspira ,ors were located
and a quantity of dynamite. arms and
provisions, evidently intended for the
equipment of a small force. were found

were Immediately tried by military court
and within twenty-four hours after their
arrest the two leaders were shot. 1t is
thought Catana and his two comrades will
be similarly dealt with and other arrests
are likely to follow.
The residents of the island are much
excited over the affair, which has be-
come public in spite of the efforts of the
authorities to keep il quiet, and it is be-
lieved by many that the execution of
Castillo and Baselga, instead of check-
ing the insurrection will have an oppo-
site effect. The military guards about

Admiral Dewey is accredited with being
able to deal with any possible exigency
that might arise and yet this lessons in
but small degree the seriousness of
future complications.
Late semi-Officiai assurances from Ber-
lin of German neutrality lack the ring
OF sincerity and are not as reassuring as
might be hoped for.
If Camara proceeds directly to the Phil
ippines he should arrive at Manila almost
Simultaneously. or a little in advance, of
the second expedition of re-enforcements
for Admiral Dewey. What will develop
then is a problem that admits of wide
speculation. but the results may be ex-
pected TO make history.
Little doubt is entertained in official cir
cles that the first Philippine expedition
has arrived at Manila. but the fact can
not possibly be assured or officially pro-
claimed for several days yet.
Tt will be Monday or perhaps later be-
fore the dispatch boat McCulIoch can
make the round trip and reach Hong
Kong with dispatches from Admiral
Dewey. It is frankly admitted that these
dispatches will be gladly welcomed when
they do come
There has been some controversy ani
speculation over the possibility that the
McCunoch, being an exclusive dispatch
boat for Admiral Dewey's squadron,
would be refused admission again at The
neutral port of Hong Kong. and therefore
there might be some difficulty in getting
future dispatches from the Philippines.
There is an international law against
warship making too frequent trips for
any purpose to a neutraI port, and t. was
said that the McCuuoch had exhausted its
welcome at Hong Kong.
Questioned for an opinion on the sub
ject. Second Assistant Secretary Adee
said yesterday:
81 do not apprehend any such difficulty
1t remains to be seen whether dispatch
boat can properly be classed as bellig-
erent ship by the authorities of neu-
trail port. During the Franco-Prussian
and other recent wars no difficulty was
experienced in the filing of official dis
patches by either side. I do not believe
there is any precedent for barring the
McCulloch from Hong Kong"
Other State Department officials said
that even should the dispatch boat Nc
Culloch be refused the port of Hong
Kong to file its dispatches the difficulty
can be obviated by sending some other
vessel on the same errand. Admiral
Dewey is probably in touch with the Chi
nese opinion on the subject and will not
make the mistake of sending the Nc
Culloch to Hong Kong again if there is
any possibility that she will be refused
the port.

''We are informed that Admiral CANA
"a has paid the Suez canal tolls for his
Cadiz feet. The presumption now is that
he viii proceed 10 the Philippines"
This was the statement made late yes
terday afternoon by Secretary Long. The
purpose Of the Administration inter
rupt Camara's Eastern progress by pub
fishing its determination to attack Spain
and secure his recall has apparently fail
ed. This, however will in no way dis
tract the Administration from its inten-
tion Of carrying the war across the At
lantic, and may even be expected 10 has
r ten the departure of Commodore Wat
son with his attacking squadron.
But that Spain should ignore the prom
ised spectacle of a formidable American
feet approaching of her shores and elect
70 consider the Philippines Of more i'm
portance than her immediate country is
remarkably significant
1t may be accounted for by the serene
over-confdence of the Spaniards that two
or three unprotected third-class warships
yet remaining at home can successfully
cope with frst-class squadron such as
1t is proposed TO send across the Atlantic.
But it is more probable that Spain is rely
ing on some element as-yet unknown on
this side Of the ocean to protect her
and perhaps prevent the prosecution of
American war in Europe.
Another consideration is that Camara
would hardly dare meet Admiral Dewey
alone and unaided. The possibilities of an
engagement with our Philippine fleet are
too deeply impressed upon the Spanish
mind for that
Facing these new developments ana
considering the various phases Of a
truly Derplexing and serious problem.

the situation in the Far East is increased
