Provinces Affected.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Arril From the
that there has been very exciting times
recently in the Philippines, Spanish troops
icing surprised and massacred. The Bolina
staff of the eastern extension telegraph
were recently besleged for five days on ac-
count of Spanish soldiers taking refuge
there. From a Spanish gunboat marines
we're landed and the station was opened
after hard fighting between the detach-
n.ent and the rebels.
Two days afterward the British cruiser
Edgar arrived. About the same time Cen
eral Monet and 900 men arrived overland.
General Monet said he had five engage
mehts between Bolina and Lingayen The
Insurgents suffered heavy losses, and the
Spanish losses were one lieutenant and one
soldier. The garrison and priests of neigh
boring villages had been killed, only six
soldiers managing to escape.
War is raging in the Island of Luzon.
and is rapidly assuming as serious proper
tions as the rebellion of 1S96'97. Attacks
were made upon the Spanish quarters at
SubiSandapalit, the rebels capturing and
carrying off large quantities of ammuni-
tiCn.
All the northern provinces are affected.
The natives refuse the taxes. Many of
the rich natives and half castles are clos
ing their business places and are preparing
to leave the islands.
The provinces of Zamabales Tariac and
Pangasinan are in open revolt

LABOR IN EUROPE.
Report Of Consul General Dubois
to the State Department.

United States Consul General Dubois at
st. Gall, Switzerland, has made an interest
ing report to the State Depar tment in re-
gard to the labor conditions in Europe, TAX
ing as his text the following familiar re-
mark so frequently made in tariff discus
siolis in the United States: The European
laborer gets small wages, but the cost ot
living there Is proportionately small He
makes several comparisons of labor condi-
tions in the United States and Europe to
show that the statement would have been
more in accordance with the facts II II were
changed to this form: 1.-The European Ia
borer gets small wages, but the manner in
which he lives makes living cheaper there
than in the United States"
A picture is drawn of the condition of two
skilled, workmen, one in the new world
and the other in the old. but both employed
in the same department of human labor.
ANY thoughtful American skilled laborer,
says Mr.. Dubois, who views 1t with intel
iigence and a genuine desire TO KNOW the
truth must feel profoundly grateful tina;
his lot and that of his children has been
cast on the soil of the great republic and
under the protection Of its flag and institu-
tions."
The statement to the effect that European
laborers get small wages, but that the cost
of living there is proporuonately small,
leads the careless observer to believe that
the cost of living Is cheaper in Europe than
il, America. The opposite is the truth,
saws the consul The difference in the
cost of living is accounted for by the diff
ference in the manner of living.
The consul general says in part:
Every Intelligent person realizes that the
people of that country where the cost OF
living is cheapest and the earnings highest
are the hdppiest and will be the most
prosperous people on earth. In the United
States prices for the necessarics of life are
lower and the wages of all who labor are
higher than in any other country. No one
can successfully challenge this assertion.
l speak of as necessaries those things that
enter into the making Of comfortable
home as we understand such home in the
United States; such ample and whole
some food, furniture, fuel, lights, clothing
and cheap transportation by railroad,
steamboat or tram car. To the American
Workmen all these things are cheaper than
they ale to their brother breadwinners in
Europe, and, to double this great ad-
vantage, their wages are sometimes more
than twice as high. But these are not the
only advantages American labor has over
conditions in the old world.
Whenever it is stated in the United
States that the wages in Europe are small,
but the cost Of living is proportionateiy
small it should not be forgotten that. while
the cost of living among the workmen of
Europe Is proporttOnately smaller than
among the toilers in the United States, the
manner of living is also immeasurably
poorer, not only in housing, clothing and
food, but in all conditions: and also the
wages are only half the amount paid In
cur country.

The meteorology Is remarkable. zone OF

45 degrees south latitude. with indications
that the south pole is covered by great
permanent anticyclone or area Of high
pressure. The summer is extremely cold.
The geology is of great interest, not only
because of our utter lack Of knowledge OF
the rocks and fossils, but also because mo-
where else is there such an accumulation
of ice, and observations Of the immense
glaciers creeping outward into the sea-
along the face Of one of which Ross sailed
for 300 miles and from which broke fat
topped icebergs 100 to 1900 feet thick
may put to the test our glacial theory. The
eminent scientists thought the government

pedition.
