THAT POISON CASE
Not Very Serious-No Priests Were
Involved

MANILA, Sept. 23.-A careful inWestiSa-
ton of the attempt 20 poison Aguinaldo
shows that the cook is not dead, as re-
ported, and that no priests are implicated,
ao alleged by the insurgents. Palermo, the
president Of the Philippine national assem-
bly,, exaggerated the facts in the case. Sew
eral Spanish casaderos were allowed to re-
main at liberty al Maleses and two of them
were employed In Aguinaldo's household.
One put package of oxalate of potash In
the soup, but the cook detected 4. imme-
diately and no one was injured. A packet
was also found in the casadero's pocket.
There is no reason to believe that he had
any accomplice.
The Filipino government proposedJto send
long dispatch to President Mckinley,
protesting against certain alleged Spanish
mtsstatements as being calchlatedIto 'un-
dermane the friendship between the Fill
piros and the Americans" but instead of
doing so they simply sent dispatch ten
dcring to the American government and
the American people, through President
Mckinley, an expression Of thigh esteem
and unity Of sentiment towards the cham
pions and protectors of oppressed peoples
and exponents of liberty and independ-
ence."
On Thursday the FiMpinos intend to have
a grand festival at Malolos in, celebration of
their independence
Three Requests
The Filipino national assembly has de-
cided to request the Americans:
First-To recognize the independence of
tho Islands.
Second-To establish a protectorate over
their external affairs and to induce the
powers to recognize their independence.
Third-To appoint a joint commission Of
Americans and Filiplnos for the arrange
ment Of details to "recfprocate the Amer

NOT DONE SECRETLY
The Change Of Rulers Strengthens the
Nation

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.-The Chinese
Minister was seen at the Legation today
and talked freely concerning the edict for
the Emperor's resignation. He said there
was no secrecy about 1t, nothing to indi-
cate that 1t was a triumph Of one foreign
element over another, but that Its essential
purpose was 20 strengthen China herself
at the time when serious foreign problems
were presented. 1t was quite natural he
said, that the dowager Empress should be
called to the aid Of the Emperor. owing TO
dynastic reasons. The present dowager has
served three dynasties, beginning with that
of Emperor Holm Fung. She was the sec
ond wife of the Emperor and bore him q
son, who, on the death of his father, be-
came Emperor The latter was an infant
ruler, and the mother, then and now dow
ager Empress, directed for him the vast
affairs of the empire. On his death without
issue the dpwager elected her nephew,
Kwang Tsu, to become the Emporer, and
his reign is now in progress. He was
child when he took the throne twenty-four

WAR
Is RAGING

1t is necessary to keep the plow on the
move, and while the drums are beating
and the air is filled with martial music
and the army is organizing for the front,
we should not become so demoralized as
to allow our farms and various business
es to become disorganized. The soldiers
will fight the war, while we "speed the
plow." Let us prepare our lands with
the same thought and care as the general
and his staff prepares for battle let US
sow an abundant crop of wheat, oats and
pease, together with grasses and clover,
and the fields will bloom in all their
glory while the martial music of the war
will be drowned with the fairy like song
of the birds in the spring, and peace and
plenty will most likely be our reward.
GUANO AND ACID are as essential to
the success of farming as gunpowder is to
war, and we have both in almost unlimi-
ted quantities, and we would be glad to
supply those who expect to begin cam
paign for any of the above crops. The
Guano and Acid will show the proper
analysis, and will produce bird singing
results in the spring. Call and see me.
