Washington, Nov. 19.-Among the
callers on the president Friday were
Secretary Proctor and Harry Foster,
who represents the district Of North
SuAo.k in the parliament OF Great Bril-
tain. Foster has been in this country
and Canada a month and came TO this
city last evening to see the president
whom he desired to meet before his
return to England. Speaking Of his
call upon the president, Foster said:
The American people have ample
reason to be proud Of their president.
He is one Of the most delightful men
I ever met, and impressed me strongly
with his cordial good will towards
Great Britain. In the course Of Our
interview, abiding to the results OF
the Spanish war, he said to him the
most remarkable result was the won
derful expression of feeling among the
people Of the United States-a feeling
which was quite as notable in the
west as in the east When l asked
him to what he referred,
his words were: Deep affection
for their mother country Mckinley
then went on to say that he thought
the feelings Of the two peoples would
be fruitful for the cause of humanity
and civilization: and the cooperation
of the TWO countries did not depend
upon paper treaties or written obliga-
tons, but upon a much deeper and
lasting basis. He said that of course
We had had our family jars in the past,
but neither country had believed in
probability of armed contest between
them. He thought this was best evil
denced by the fact that we never were
both angry at the same time. If the
American people showed signs of irri-
tation the English people were sober;
and if England seemed guided for a
moment by want of reason, the Amer
leans were calm and collected.

Fond du Lac, Nov. 19.-Three crooks
shot and mortally wounded Officer
William Prinslow last evening, while
he was attempting to arrest them. A
few moments previous to the shooting
Of the officer, Mail Carrier George
Seitz was set upon by three thugs and
an effort was made to seize $1,409
which he had on his person. The trio
were foiled in their attempt and, after
shooting the man they mad
attempted to rob, hurried south
toward the city limits. Word was
sent to the police station and officers
were dispatched to look for them. Of
ficer Prinslow ran upon the three and
ordered them to surrender. They
turned and fired five shots at him, two
of which took effect. He was removed
to his home. The physicians state
that the officer cannot live. Although
the city has been secured not a trace
of the thugs has been found. The
county board, which was in session,
offered a reward of $500 for their cap
ture. Word has been sent to Gov.
Scofield and it is believed that the re-
ward will be increased to $500.
Should the crooks be arrested today

Man Who Abandoned Maria Teresa

mand of the Spanish cruiser Maria

Of towing her to place

Vulcan which is working on the Maria

believed, its facilities are sufficient to
repair her and put her in condition to

bitter personal debating was necessary

to vote whether to abandon the Tenn

then by vote of 2S7 to II the Temple
was abandoned. The opposition to
such action declared it an act of re-
pudiatiCn of moral obligation and
fought in every way possible, but the
leaders were against them. The W. c.

erected in Chicago some years ago, aas

Manila. Nov. 17.-Gen. Otis, com
mander Of the American forces. re-
suested Aguinaldo that he release the
friars and citizens held throughout
the provinces. The insurgent leader
denied their maltreatment and refused
to release the prisoners, claiming that
the civilians had enlisted as volun-
teers and were therefore legitimate
prisoners of war. Aguinaldo also de-
MED that women and children were
detained but said that some women
and children had voluntarily accom-
panied their husbands. The friars
Agulnaldo claims, have deliberately
and systematically deceived the pope,
pretending that the country is bar
barous, unfit for the regular ministry
and that it was necessary that the
nOnastic orders should administer the
parishes. Therefore he considered it
necessary to detain the friars until the
pope was undeceived.
Spanish papers assert that a mutiay
has taken place on the steamship
Bernardino and that the native crew
was massacred by Spanish officers.
