inheriting any Of the penalties, and Ger.
tain proportion of the membership are in
favor OF adopting non-intercourse amend
ment to the constitution, which was the rock
upon which the Pacific Insurance Union
split. A disruption of the Compact at this
time would prove most disastrous to the
interests OF large number of managers, who
at present constitute big percentage of the
disturbing element, as i'll case OF another
rate war the companies represented by these
people would undoubtedly discontinue their
Pacific Coast departments. The sober minds
are still hopeful that wise counsels may pre-
vail and correct practices be maintained.
Despite the scarcity of money consequent

The United States Casualty, never popu-

MIA.
Losses on the coast are million and half
in excess of the total losses at this time
last year.
There are sometimes more serious losses in
attempting fire protection than in fire itself.
A firm of druggists in Dallas, Texas, in order
to secure their store against fire, built a

reached $780, 900.

Manila via Hong Kong says: The fric-
ton between the Americans and ma
tives requires exceptional ability to
avoid total alienation. find that sew
eral high American officials. Of me-
diocre education, are utterly unac-
quainted with Oriental ideas and un-
able to understand the primitive races.
Most of the Americans are deficient in
patience, and numerous trifing mis-
understandings intensity the friction.
1 believe the Americans intend to be
harsh.
The American censor absolutely pro-
hibits the sending of a single word
about the Cavite incident Of Thursday,
and he threatens to expel any CORES
pondent who mentions it. A deputation
from the press is going to General Mer-
rift to protest against his action. The
affair began in a drunken American
shooting, and native sentries tried to
arrest him. In consequence of the melee
four natives and one American were
killed, and it is now generality misre-
ported as being deliberate Inaugural
ton Of hostilties. General Merritt re-
turned their arms to the company of
natives who fired upon the Americans,
presumably inadvertently. The natives
assert that Aguinaldo forced General
Merritt to liberate them and return
their weapons. The Americans condemn
General Merritts course.

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
Captain Duncan Held by Sheriff For
DESIGNATING Graves.

Captain Duncan Held by Sheriff For
DESIGNATING Graves.
Washington, Aug. 3e.-Captain Louis
G. Duncan, surgeon Of the Twenty-sec-
ond Kansas regiment, Is held by the
sheriff Of Fairfax county, Va. to an
swer an indictment charging him with
desecrating Confederate graves at Bull
Run, near Manassas.
It appears that DR.. Duncan, whose
case has now become famous. was not
sentenced to five years imprisonment,
as reported from Camp Meade, Pa,
but escaped much more lightly at the
hands OF the military court, there be-
ing a lack of evidence to prove that he
actually took part in demolishing the
graves. He was tried by court martial,
and the finding Of the court martial,
approved by General Davis, was that
Surgeon Duncan be deprived of his
rank for two months. be confined to
regimental camp and forfeit half his
pay for the same length Of time, and
that he be reprimanded by the COM
manding general.
How Mr.. Duncan is to be confined to
regimental camp for two months. when
he is now the prisoner of the sheriff at
Fairfax county, Is difficult to deter
mine. His regiment has removed from
Thoroughfare Gap to Camp Meade. Pa.
It is understood that when the sheriff
presented his warrant for him under
the state indictment the surgeon was
voluntarily surrendered. A clash be-
tween the state authorities and war
department may develop, though the
case has not been brought to attention
in Washington as vet.

Pittsburg. Aug. Solver 200 soldiers
who four months ago marched off to
war, while thousands Of admirinS
friends cheered them on, returned yes
terday amid anguish and tears. The
stricken heroes were aboard the Penn
sylvania state hospital train, and are

sufferers to Pittsburg hospitals and
giving dinner to the convalescents.
There was no demonstration by the
crowd when the train entered the sheds
and tears came to the eyes Of hundreds
on the platform when they saw the
Eaunt faces Of the sufferers peering
from the windows. Governor Hastings
and his wife were seated in the pri-
vate car in the rear Of the first section
of the train.
Mrs. Hastings. with tears in her eyes,
was a witness Of the sad scenes when
the sufferers were removed on stretch
ers to the ambulances. She accom-
panied the train on the entire trip and
assisted the nurses In their work. II
shall not accompany the governor on
his next trip to the camp" she said.
II am unused to such scenes OF suf-
fering, and l have suffered extremely
from nervousness while returning from
Chickamauga. I am grateful for an OPP
portunity to do my share in alleviatng
the suffering OF our brave soldiers. but
am more than thankful that this war
and its sacrifices are at an end"
President Mckinley passed through
Pittsburg on his way from Somerset,
Pa, to Cleveland at 2:SO o'clock in the
afternoon An immense crowd was at
the station and the president was en-
