A more pitiful sight than a mother and
her child, both captives and shackled in a

There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shackled by disease in the

the mother. Too many women enter upon

AGITATION A BAD THING,

Lumberman McLune of Duluth Argues
Before the Canadian Commission.
QUEBEC, Sept. 26.-In speaking of
the protest before the joint commission
against a reduction of the tariff on
Canadian lumber, G. w. McLune of
Du uth, who is here representing the
lum bermen, said:
II regret hat the tariff question
should be agitated again just as we are
emerging from a great depression
through which our industry passed
prior to the enactment of the present
law. This agitation will of itself, ii
continued much longer, soon be felt
not only by TIE lumber industry but by
many others. This agitation will lead
to a curtailment Of consumption and
production, and in all the various
stages OF stagnation labor VIII be the
greatest sufferer. Up to this time lum.

added to our surplus demoralizes prices
and depresses the market. Canadian
lumbermen have many i'm portant ad'

Under the Canadian system Of buying

them at all points, and preventing any
reinforcements from reaching that
point. Pending the arrival of our
troops. he was to seize any position east
or west of Santiago de Cuba, or BOTH
which could be used to advantage by
our artillery.
He replied that he would regard my

REPORT FROM DEWEY
Little Charge at Manila Since His Last
Previous Message.

Washington, June 1.-THE Navy De-
partment has received the following
from Admiral Dewey:
Cavite, June II, via Hong Kong, June
17-There is little change in the situa-
ton since my last telegram of June 3.
Insurgents continue hostilities and have
practically surrounded Manila. They
have taken $500 Spanish prisoners,
whom they treat most humanely. They
do net intend to take the city at the
present time. Twelve 1nerchan vessels
are anchored in the bay with refugees
on board under guard of neutral men
of-war; this with my permission.
The health of the squadron continues
excellent The German commander in
chief arrived to-day. Three German,
two British, one French, one Japanese
men-of-w war now in port. Another Ger
man man-of-war is expected.

THE POPULISTS.
Middle of the Road People Routed-Pans
for the Future.


OMAHA, Neb., June 17-Shortly after
5 a. m. to-day, the conference of the Pop
ulist National Committee adjourned sine
die. The final outcome was the practical
route of the middle of the road crowd I'M
der the leadership of Milton Park, al
though the liberal wing made some con-
cessions.
There will be no convention in 1899 to
outline the policy of the party. In 1900
there will be an early convention to NOM
mate a national ticket, the same to be
held prior to the Democratic convention.
No overture looking to fusion will ema-
nate from the national committee and
none will be received and entertained by
it. The national committee is required to
keep hands off in State campaigns: or,
if it's assistance be invited, it may inter-
fere only on behalf of the Populist ticket
and not to assist in fusion. In sending
out the call for the convention, the chair
man and secretary must make clear the
terms as laid down in this compromise
The effort to force Chairman Butler to
resign proved futile, and he will continue
to act until the next national convention

SPANISH POWER CRUMBLING.

Copyright, Associated Press)
Manila, June 6, via Hong Kong June
17.-Spanish power is crumbling in the
Philippine Islands.
General Pena and a thousand Span
ish soldiers have surrendered at Santa
Cruz, similar surrenders have taken
place at La Guna and at Pampang, and
in each case hardly anybody was killed.
1t is reported that Rear Admiral Dew
ey is unable to restrain the insurgents,
but their conduct is satisfactory.
The Spaliards are impotent with
rage, bewilderment and despair.
The cafes tonight are crowded with
officers, with their hands in their pock-
cts, gaping vacantly while an inter-
mittent fusilade is audible in all direc-
lions.
Carloads of food have been stored in
side the walled citadel with the inten-
ton of standing a siege and defying
the American warships But the idea
is ridiculously preposterous, for the
citadel, so-called, is totally untenable
against the fire of a modern fleet of
warships.
There was a concerted attack last
evening in every direction. The Span
iards were informed of the insurgents
intention to capture two magazines
outside the Notifications at Malate and
| Santa Mesa, southwark and westward
| of the city. Therefore, they concen-
| trated their forces for supreme effort
in their defense and bombarded the
| Jungle all night long. In the meantime
| the insurgents captured Malabon and
| Caloocan, in the northern suburbs.
| The Spaniards were thus outwitted,
outgeneraled and harrassed to death.
During the previous night. owing to
| misunderstanding, squad of Span
| ish artillerymen stampeded from Ma
| lete into Manila, causing immense con-
sternation, it being believed that the
| insurgents were storming the city.
A Spanish officer commanding an
| outpost at San Juan left his men in
charge of sergeant, came to town,
| and was found helplessly drunk. 1t is
reported that he was sentenced to
| death.
There is story current here this
| evening to the effect that the captain
and officers of the German warshir
| Irene went to picnic on horseback, tc
I the furthest outpost of San Juan, ac-
| companed by the highest Spanish staff
| officers. They had champagne lunch
and the captain of the Irene is said to
| have made a speech, during which he
| declared that the Americans twill
never annex the Philippines while Will
liam remains emperor"
| The Germans, it is further said
with their Spanish hosts, might have
been killed by the insurgents, who hao

WATCH FOR THE> EGSTERS NEW STORY; STARTS JUNE p.

While companies of S. ave
had nothing to eat * IS and
some of them are liter Tying 1t
is a pitiable sight. The native peas
antry charitably assist the starving
soldiers without compulsion, and some
Englishmen yesterday gave treat to
the soldiers guarding an outpost.
They bought wandering hawkers
stock of eatables for a few shillings
and gave the food to the soldiers, who
said it was the first food they had
tasted for thirty-six hours.
There is no doubt, as one person re-
marked, that somebody deserves
lynching for the state of affairs exist
ing. Scores of bloated officers of the
Spanish forces are to be seen daily
loafing about the beer shops and cafes
along the boulevards, reviling the
English, while the men under their
charge are starving.
The captain general had a council of
war, at which it was proposed to sur
render because resistance is clearly
useless and a .deplorable expenditure
of blood and heroic efforts would be
rendered futile by lack of training, in
sufficient supplies and the smallness
of the force
The council was furious at this
Humiliation by mere natives and he
resigned and was superseded by his
second in command, who counter
malded the withdrawal of the troops
from the field
