Prosecute Express Companies,

Nh1oAGo' September 1.-The Illinois
Niahulacturers Association is said by its
secretary j. NJ Glenn, to be collecting evil
dence against several of the leading ex-
press companies with the view of establish
ing that those carriers are acting as a
trust in violation of the act to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful restraints
and monopolies.
The testimony is to be laid before the
United States district attorney. According
to Secretary Glenn, the express companies
have declined TO enter into competition to
carry express matter over certain lines of
the railways, and because the privilege was
nov gwen 10 one company upon its own
terms the other companies have attempted
to make it impossible for any express mat

PROF. TRoWBRIDGE's WORK
PRODUCES SPARKS VERY MUCH
 LIKE LIGHTNING.
Experiments That Will Make Pos sible Still Further Remark able Attachments in
 Surgery.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, May 27.-A new and power full apparatus has just been completed by Professor John Trowbridge of liar ward University for the experiments in electrical force, his principal object be- ing to test further the penetrating pow CT of X-rays. The apparatus consists of a series of 120 Franklin plates or Leyden jars, mounted on a simple wooden frame work and supplied with power by storage battery containing 10000 Plante cells.
 The voltage necessary for the experi- ments is 2,500,000. The apparatus is capable of producing sparks in the air closely resembling lightning flashes of from six to seven feet in length. The power is sufficient to draw sparks from the brick walls of the room, and the discharge creates somewhat the same effect as a sudden cold breeze. Sparks from thirty to forty feet in length can be obtained by the use of glass tubes in which the atmospheric pressure has been reduced to about two and half pounds to the square inch.
 Professor Trowbridge has already made experiments which prove that with the apparatus as powerful as this the X-rays can be made to penetrate not only human flesh, but also bones and tendons, thus probably making possible still more remarkable attain ments in surgery by their aid.

Marshal Rivera Says Our Flag Will Never Wave
 Over Manila.
Declares the Philippines Have Not Adequate Defenses, but Thinks the Islands Will Not Be
 Taken,

MADRID, May 27.-In the Senate to- day Marshal Rivera, former captain general of the Philippines, defended his administration of the colony. He said he could not believe his ears when he was told of the disaster at Cavite, add ing that rag called the American flag shall never float over the walls of Ma nila."
 The Philippines, he continued, had not had adequate means of defense. He applied to the Government to sup ply them, but the Government replied that the Pope had intervened and that there was no fear of a rupture. The naval committee at Manila examined into the position carefully and reached the conclusion that it was quite impos- sible to offer battle to the Americans.
 "The Yankees are deceiving them selves" Marshal Rivera declared, 'as to the situation at the Philippines. It is absolutely impossible that they should become masters of the islands, for the natives. to an immense major ity, are determined to defend the ter ritory to the last and to maintain Span ish sovereignty"
 Captain Aunon, Minister of Marine.
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-28

said 1t was inopportune to discuss the war at present. He had neither ap- proval nor disapproval to express of Marshal Riveras administration. but he considered it necessary to exercise a certain reserve In the interest of the country.
 In the Chamber of Deputies, Senor Romero Giron, the Minister for the Col onies, replying to questions respecting the authorization given the Governor of the Philippines to concede adminis- tratiVe reform, said aptain-General Augusti had been authorized.t to act in the manner he deemed most desirable to draw the natives to the Spanish side.
 General Blanco cables from Havana that Admiral Cervera's squadron is still at Santiago; that the bulk of Admiral Sampson's squadron is blockading that port; that Commodore Schley's squad ron is watching the Yucatan Passage; that the American vessels have left Cienfuegos, and that the American fleet of blockaders are within sight of Havana.
 General Blanco, in his dispatch, says that he opposed the departure of the French steamer Lafayette with a cargo of coal, as the coal was required for Spanish ships.

British Consulate, Custom House and Two Stores Burned by Riot
 ars a+ Sha-Shi,

SEATTLE, Wash, May 27.-The steam CT Rio Jun Maru arrived here at 1O o'clock tonight, bringing meager news of an anti-European riot at Sha Shi, China. in which the British Consulate, Custom House and the stores of Jar ne, Mathieson & Co. and Butterfleld & Swire were destroyed by fire. The British Consul was severely beaten, and the Eu- ropean residents were forced to take ref uge in the tea and silk hulkS lying 1n the river No one was killed.
 Sha Shi is a large city on the 1angtse Kiang River, about 600 miles from It's mouth; It is one of the ports that was opened to foreigners after the Chinese Japanese war. The feeling against for eigners is said to be still very bitter. The riot occurred on May g, and the news of it reached Kobe on May 10, just before the Rio Jun Maru left.
 Two British gunboats had been ordered to Sha Shi from Hongkow, 100 miles down the river, and Consul Harven at Shang- hai had sent a gunboat from that point. They will restore order very quickly, as the Chinese have great respect for them.
 The Rio Jun also brought news that the plague at Hongkong is making frightful headway among the natives, large num- bers of them dying daily. Several Euro peans have died from the scourge.

 Shortly after sighting the supposed Spanish craft the Wilmington spoke the Bancroft, and notified her of the presence of the vessel. As the ships were lying to the stranger hove in sight and the Bancroft immediately started In pursuit of her.
 It is supposed that the Spaniards ob- serving the Wilmington's military top mistook her for a battleship and thought it safe to continue scouting in the vicinity, trusting to superior speed to escape. When the Bancroft ap- peared the stranger lost no time in getting away and the race as seen from the Wilmington was close and exciting.
