Launched from the Nixon Ship Yards
Yesterday.

New York December THE United
States survey steamer Pathfinder was
launched from the Nixon ship yards in
Elizabeth, N. j., today. Miss Ruth w.

train brought the invited guests to Eliza

ant ]. C. Fremont u. s. N, a son Of the
famous general of that name who was
known as the Pathfinder"
The Pathfinder will be the largest vessel

until all were weary.
! 1t was now 3 O'Clock and the prospectors
were becoming discouraged. For fear day
Hight would overtake them, It was decided
to knock of, SIM nox, until another night.
First the dirt was carefully replaced and
smoothed over and an old branch placed
carefully over it in order to detract atten-
ton from 1t, and the four prospectors,
weary and disappointed. returned to Ire
city. As they separated to go to their re-
spective homes the oath of secrecy was re-
newed, with the understanding that on
Monday night at the same hour another
trip would be made.
Began to Smell a Mouse
Sunday proved restless day for the
prospective millionaires, but Monday found
them In different frame of mind.
Had they been duped? This question had
been self-interrogated by each and in turn
communicated to a confidential friend, who
scorned the idea Thus eight men were in
the secret, and when Monday night arr'v-
ed all were on hand at the appointed hour
The trusty leader and three companions
were selected to make another attempt the
others remaining at home to await devel-
opmnts.
Caught In the Act
1t was but a repetition of Saturday
nights experience, and, to make long
story short, when the party was about to
leave the lonely spot they were come upon
by a well known oficer of the law, who
was out on a still hunt, and of course ex-
plantations had to be made.
The officer is a jolly fellow, but agreed
not to give them away. The promise was
made in its literal sense, however, as the
story began to leak out on Tuesday, and
from preface to finish was going the
rounds yesterday.
1t is said that the saloons In the vicinity
of the rolling mill are enjoying large pat
ronage at the expense of the fortune

NOISY SCENES OCCURRED.
Lower House of Hungarian Diet Thrown
Into Turmoil.

Buda Pest, December Tin the lower
house of the Hungarian diet today some
noisy scenes occurred. The letter of DR..
De Szilagyi, president of the chamber of
deputies, announced his resignation fore
Swallowed yesterday, was read, and DR.. L.
Lang, one of the vice presidents, whose
determination to resign was announced at
the same time, personally announced his
resignation.
Francis Kossuth, In behalf of his party
and Palonyi. for the Independents, propos-
ed that a cognizance be taken of DR.. Sill
agyfs resignation, whereupon the premier.
Baron Banffy, arose to reply. For a time
the uproar made his remarks inaudible
When he could make himself heard the
premier denied that the government desir-
ed DR.. Szilagyi to make illegal use of the
rules of the house and employ force. Fin
ally resolution was adopted requesting
DR.. Szilagyi to withdraw his resignation.
The reference to the employment of force
in the remarks of the Hungarian premier
apparently refers to the alleged intention
of Baron Banffy to carry on the govern
ment next year by DEGREES owing to the
failure of Austria-Hungary to come to a
satisfactory arrangement for the govern
ment of the dual monarchy.

MANILA, THE cAPTUED CITY
Population of the Capital City and the
Ways of Spanish Rule.

Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is
situated on the Island of Luzon, 700 miles
southeast of Hong Kong. 1t has popula-
tion of nearly $50, 900 people-5O. 600 Chin
ese, 5000 Spaniards, and other Europeans,
and the rest native Malays. The last have
weird language Of their own.
The native of Manila started out to be a
Malay, but with years of Chinese and Span
ish influences about him he has passed
through series of gradings that leave him
Filipino nondescript pure and simple.
The natives have long been looked upon
as subjects fit only for servants and taxa
tion. Indeed it would appear as If the
chief, If not the only, end for which the
government is organized and maintained is
to pillage the natives. The same abomin-
able system of tax farming which was in
vogue in the provinces of the old Roman
empire and which Cicero denounced SO bit.
terly nearly 1000 years ago, is in full swing
with all its abuses in the islands of the
Philippine archipelago.
Spain has no use for her dependencies
except as a source of torturewrung addi-

military chiefs. The infamous Weyler is
credited with having accumulated, during
his three years. incumbency of the captain
generalship of the Philippines. fortune of
several millions of dollars-more it is said,
than 20 times the whole amount of his
authorized salary.
A few figures will assist in giving an
accurate idea of the Philippines. The area
of the entire group nearly equals that Of
California or Japan, being variously esti-
mated from 120, 900 to 100, 600 square miles.
The principle island, Luzon, on which
Manila is built, is approximately equal in
area to Illinois, or about $4,000 square
miles. The total population is slightly in
excess of that of New York state, and now
Plumbers 100000. In this connection it
can be noted that Luzon alone exceeds
Cuba in area by $4,000 square miles, and
has over double the population. The Sec
ond largest island is Mindanao This, is to
the south, and occupies nearly the same
area as West Virginia, or $4,000 square
miles,
