KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Conclave at Indianapolis Brings Sew
enty-fve Thousand People.

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 23.-The BIZ
ennial encampment OF the Knights Of
Pythias, in point of attendance, is sue
eessful beyond expectations. Careful
fcials show hat since Saturday rs, 900
people have been brought to the city.
The most important feature of today's
program was the big parade, partici-
pated in by the Uniforme Rank and
subordinate lodges. Careful estimates
place the number of men in line at 49,
600, of whom 10000 were members of
the Uniform Rank, led by Major Gem
eral Carnahan. Governor Mount rode
q horse in the parade. Twenty-Five
states were represented in the pageant
by brigades.
Next to the parade the most import
ant event today was the converting Of
the supreme lodge. In executive ses-
sion. the supreme keeper of records and
seal. r. l.. C. White, asked for a hearing
on the grounds of a personal privilege.
He said the officers of the supreme
lodge had been attacked and charges
made against them which should be in
vestigated. II these charges were true
then the men holding Office were not fit
fer their positions. If the charges were
not true, then the man or men who
made them were not fit to be Pythians
or members of the supreme lodge. 9th
ers followed White.
a committee was appointed to inves-
tigate, and pending their report no Off
GERS will be elected. During the bust
ness session the reports of officers were
distributed.
The Rathbone Sisters held their first
business session today with a full at
tendance. and reports OF officers were
received. This evening a reception was
given at the Hotel English by the Su-
preme chief, Ida M. Weaver. During
the day there was a competitive exem-
plif1cation of the ritualistic work. A
prize drill will be given tomorrow at
Camp Colgrove, and the Uniform Rank
will be inspected.

NATIVES ALL RIGHT
RUMORS OF TROUBLE IN THE
PHILIPPINES ARE UN-
FOUNDED.
Business in Manila Is Now Booming
Insrgents Have Great Confidence
in Admiral Dewey-FilippinOs Re
siding in Europe Desire Annexa-
tion to Am erica.

Manila, Philippine Islands, Aug. 3d.
The rumors of trouble between the ma
tiyes and the Americans are, for the
most part, unfounded. The fact is that
the insurgents have been unwilling TO
disarm until assured Of the permanence
OF American protection.
The distrust felt as t the Spanish
bank, which originated in rumor as to
an excessive note issue to aid the Span
ish authorities led to a run on the in
stitution, but the British banking house

Business is now booming. The OBJ
structions in the river Pasig, which
flows Through the town, have been re-
moved and the water works have re-
sumed operations.
FRICTION DISAPPEARING.
London, Aug. 23.-The Associated
Press learns that the Philippine junta
in London received a dispatch from Ma
Mia yesterday announcing that matters
were rapidly quieting down, and that
friction b etween Aguinaldo and the
Americans is disappearing.
According to the junta's advices, the
insurgents for a time regarded General
Merritt and General Anderson as mar
tinettes, and feared they would adopt
harsh methods, like the Spaniards, to-
ward the Filippinos; but the insurgents
from the first have had the greatest con-
fidence in Admiral Dewey, whom they
regarded as sort Of a father and the
most. important American in Manila.
The junta is satisfied that all fric-
tion will soon disappear, and that there
will be no trouble from the insurgents,
il the Americans decide to retaing the
Philippines.

HONEST, GENEROUS, CHIvALRoUs.
London Truth says That Has Been the
Attitude Of America.

London, Aug. 23.-Henry L%abouchere
lin Truth says that a large standing
army would be necessary if the United
States were to embark on a spirited
foreign policy on annexation.
This army" he declares, would
soon crush out democracy at home
and in the end. some popular general
would feel it his duty to save society
by making himself such a president
as the constitution never contemplate

The Old World" he continues. Gin
its dealings with the New. assumes the
attitude of condesentions as ridiculous
as it is unwarranted. One Of the salt
ent features Of the late war was the
honest, generous and chivalrous con-
duct of the United States government.

just to express the general feeling Of
admiration which the new chivalry has

THREATENING LETTERS.
Being Received by Prominent Havanese
Signed by Insurgents.

Havana, Aug. 23.-Local papers ex-
press considerable doubt, based upon
the reading of President McKinIey's
message to congress last April, in the
Eight Of recent events, whether the I'm
tied States government definitely
pledges itslef to declare Cuba's
independence. A number of
prominent Havanese recently received
threatening letters signed by the in
surgents and evidently Of ~insurgent
origin. Several letters tell those to
whom they are sent hat they NAV
choose the sort of tree which they NAV
be hanged on after the insurgents en-
ter Havana. A correspondent heard a
we'll known resident. who has always
been in the employ Of Spanish houses
and treated invariably with considera-
tion, advise his son.. an insurgent lead
er. not to come to Havana unless at the
head of a victorious column, even il the
Americans ordered him to come.
