AGUINALDo's sHREwDNEss.

Manila, Oct. 3-The national assembly
at Malolos. at a recent sitting. voted
Aguinaldo civil list of $4,000, but the
leader declined to receive anything until
the army should have been paid. An
attempt was made by Palermo. the
speaker of the house to have inserted
clause granting him an allowance be-
cause OF the office, but the proposal was
rejected. The assembly is now engaged
In discussing the constitution.
The Spanish community is telegraph
ing to Madrid in an endeavor to secure
the enforcement of the release OF prison
ers. Personal Investigations made in
the provinces emphasize the determina-
tion of the insurgents to obtain a specific
guarantee of favorable terms before
releasing the prisoners now in their
hands, and IL is certain that they wfll
never cheaply relinquish their dearly
bought conquests.
Everywhere is seen evidence OF ap-
pallng struggles. Popular opinion fav-
ors autonomy, which it is generally ex-
peeted will be established. The people
rather distrust the Americans. who, be-
ginning TO realize this fact, sent the
Raleigh to the northeastern ports for
the purpose of showing the American
flag and making friends with the ma
tlves. The cruisers officers endeavored
to arrange an interchange of hospital
titles. but the natives at first were un-
willing TO visit the ship unless hostages
were landed. Finally. however, friend
ly feeling was established. and the ma
tives were agreeably surprised at the
American attitude.

He leaves a widow, three sons and a

Admiral Braine was born in New

the feature of the proceedings. While
the full Republican strength in the
House cannot be combined against the

those who have made it their business

from the Ways and Means Committee,

Committee will bring in a special or

allowed for debate is likely to be brief,
as the leaders to do not believe there
is any necessity for protracted debate,
and, moreover, a long discussion would
meaSurably decrease the very purpose
they have in view, namely, a prompt
and decisive negative reply TO the Sen
ate's declaration. The remainder OF
the week will be devoted to the appro-
priation bills. The District of Colum-
bia is still under discussion, and the
fortifications bill is still on the calen-
dar. The House leaders intend to give
appropriation bills the right of way
in order to make an early adjournment
possible The moment the appropria
tion bills are out of the way, the new

by the announcement of the "Berliner
Tageblatt" that Russia and England
have arrived at an agreement whereby
England has consented to drop her de-

inclined to make the best possible bar
gain with Russia, whose diplomacy APP
pears to have triumphed at Peking,
England having resolved not to force a
conflict by further opposing Russia's
claims at Port Arthur, and in the Lao
Tung peninsula.
Japan, says the Daily Mails au-
thority has been thrown into a state
of CONSERVATION by the British back
down and has adopted more friendly
attitude toward Russia.
This statement, however the Daily
Mall admits, is incredible and prob
ably bluff with view of forcing Eng
land to take decided steps"
The Daily Mall counsels its read
ers not to be alarmed.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail' from
Shanghai says secret dispatch has
been issued by the Tsung Ii Yamen to
certain high officials informing them
that Russia warned China that if Kiao-
chau We're granted to Germany. Russia
would demand either Talien Wan or
Port Arthur.
According to the same dispatch it is
asserted at Shanghai on good author
ity that China consents to have Rus
slams at the head of her customs and
railways.
At the present moment. says the
Daily Mails" correspondent. there are
10000 Russian troops in Talien Wan
and Port Arthur. Russian agents
have been sent to Tien Tsin fhe port
of Peking) and to Japan to purchase
coal and food, 5000 bags of which have
been bought at Tien Tsin.

Six Men Have Been Arrested for
the Rathburn Murder.

BURLINGTON Qa), Jan 3O-Six
members of what is known as the
Storms gang are now under arrest,
charged with completely in the mur
der of Mrs. Ratkbun and her daughter.
Blood stains were found on the cloth
ing of Storms. the leader. A lad
named Peterson to-day told the police
he called at the home of the Rathburns
several weeks ago and found two men
there. One of them, he said, asked
Mary Ra.hburn to fix his tie and the
boy afterward identified the tie found
on the body Of Mary Rathburn as the
one that had been called to his atten-
ton that night. The supposition is
that the girl tore the tie from her as
sailant in the struggle for her life.
Young Peterson also picked out the
man Storms from a number of prison
ers and declared he was the man who
wore the tie on the night he called at
the Rathburn home. The police also
say they have Information that threats

Sheriff Martin and His Deputies on Trial
For Murder.
Expected That the Trial Will Last
a Week or Longer-Strikers
to March on the Highway and
Were Peaceful, While the De-
fense Says They Were Riotous
and Had Been Warned Not to
March.

WILKESBARRE Pa). Jan. 30
The case CT Sheriff James Martin and
his eighty deputies, charged with mur-
der and felonious wounding of a score
of striking miners at Latimer, this
county, September 10th last, will be
called for trial in the Criminal Court
next Tuesday. February 1st. 1t is ex-
pected thar the trial will last a week.
and it may be longer before a verdict
is reached. District Attorney Martin
will be assisted in the prosecution by
Joseph NJ. Garman, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, and John
McGahrin. They are employed by the
relatives of the men who were killed.
John 7. Lanahan, one of the leading
criminal lawyers of this section of the
State. will be senior counsel for the
defense. The first battle will be over
the selection of a jury More than a
hundred witnesses have been subpe-
naed, but rot all of them will be heard.
The commonwealth will claim that
the strikers We're only exercising their
rights as American freemen when they
marched on the public highway un-
armed. 1t Will be contended that they
were not lawless; that they had offered
no opersonal violence to any one and that
they we're rot bent on destroying prop
erty. The lawyers for the prosecution
Will quote decisions from the higher
courts to show that such body of Gnen
had right to move on the public hign-
way While engaged in q peaceful mis-
sion. on the other hand, counsel for
the defense will charge that the strik-
ers We're riotous; that they were armed,
and tina. their intention was TO destroy
properly. They will call witnesses to
show that the people living in the strike
district we're fearful for their lives and
that some of them moved away ior
safety. 1t will also be shown that the
Sheriff had come in conflict with The
strikers at HaZelton on the morning of
September 10th, and that he then and
there warned them by reading the Riot
Act thai they We're violating the law
and that they should disperse and go
TO their houses. Instead of accepting
this advice they jeered the officer Of

The Latiner mine was in operation,
the employees had no grievances so far
