FILIPINO CONGRESS.
Opened by Aguinaldo With Flowery
Speech.


London, Sept. l7.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
Thursday, says: am the only foreign
journalist present at the insurgent con-
gress at Mao Los, which has been se-
lected as the temporary capital of the
revolutionary government. Early this
forenoon Aguinaldo, accompanied by
large staff of generals and ministers,
moved in state from the convent, now
occupied ae his. military headquarters,
passing between lines of infantry and
through streets decorated with palms
and bananas, and packed with thou
sands of peasants in holiday dress, to
the church half a mile distant. Here
he was received by the assem- bled dele
gates and conducted to platform in
the chancel, from which he delivered a
brief message in the TagalonQ language,
after repeating it in Spanish. The
substance OF the message WAS congratu-
latory on the happy termination of the
revolution and the complete conquest
of the territory. He made a tiowery
appeal to the delegates. asking them
by the memory of the illustrious pa
triots of Philippine history, to follow
the exampleof England, France and
America in preparing constitution
and promulgating laws to secure the
complete and permanent liberty of the
people of the Philippines. The mes
sage excited but little enthusiasm, be-
cause it was absolutely non-committal
The assembly then proceeded imme-
diately to organize, preparatory to a
discussion Of the proposed constitution
and code of laws and the election of q
president. The absence of several OF
the most prominent and influential ma.
tives was particularly noticeable as in
dicating an intention to hold aloof until
the policy is fully declared.
A strong party, intoxicated by the
present measure of success, favors op-
position to any foreign protectorate, be-
ing confident that the people can gov
ern themselves. Wiser counselors
strenously oppose such suicidal poll
cy. Apparently unanimity now ex
lists only in the determination to fret
the islands forever from Spanish rule

" On tne DebIs
San Francisco, Sept. ia special
from Seattle says: The ice-bound
whalers which were released from the
Arctic by the United States revenue
cutter Bear have turned against their
Iescuers.
The men say that soon after leaving
st. Michaels they we're ordered TO wash
down the decks. They refused as they
had no dry clothes to put on, and there
were plenty OF revenue men to do the
work. Seventeen Of them were clapped
into irons and put in an empty coal
bunker. The next watch also refused.
There were no more irons, so they were
tied to beam on the cold deck. with
their hands behind them.
Captain Tuttle claims that the men
were rebellious, and he treated them as

The men say they will make full re-

Earliest Strike.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The earliest strike occurred about 1850
B. c., or upward OF thirly-three centuries
ago. Pharaoh was building new temple
Of Thebes. The masons received very little
cash, but quantity of provisions, which
the contractor thought sufficient, was
handed to them on the first day of each
month. Sufficient or not, they mostly ate
it before the time had elapsed. On one
occasion many of them had nothing left
quite early in the month, SO they marched
to the contractors house, before which
they squatted and refused to bulge until
justice was lone. The contractor persuad-
ed them to lay their distress before Pha-
raoh. who was about to visi. the works.
and he gave them a handsome supply Of
corn. and SO all went on We'll for that
month. But the same state of things re-

contractor not complying with theif de-

the city to lay their grievances before him.
and he tried to get them to ret lrn to work
by smooth words, but hat was no use, and
they insisted on having food. A. last, to
get rid of them he ,;rew up an order for
corn on the public granary, and the strike
