THEY WANT TO STAY.
Members of Astor Battery Desire to
Remain in the Philippines.

Manila, Dec. 15.-At an enthusiastic
meeting of the Aston battery at its
quarters. preliminary steps were taken
to establish the Philippine Development
Association of American Volunteers for
the purpose of promoting the develop
ment of the islands, when the volunteers
are discharged from the service. While
willing to bear arms as long as requir-
ed many of our volunteers are DESTROYS
of remaining here to engage in various
enterprises Some of them are deter
mined to settle down in the Philippines,
even if they are compelled to return to
the United States in order to get their
discharges.
The association proposes to commu-
nicate with the United States author
tiles in order to obtain the discharge Of
all volunteers who are DESTROYS Of set
Ting down here, and Will urge that the
men be granted a travelling allowance
in lieu of transportation when their
time has expired. In the meantime the
association intends to procure informa-
ton regarding the resources Of the
islands. Its membership is confined to
enlisted men of good character.
The Aston battery has been ordered
to deliver up its equipment to the quar-
termaster preparatory to embarking on
a homeWard bound transport.

WAVE SOCIALIST
Is Sweeping Over England and Swal-
lowing UP Her Cities.

Washington, Dec. 15.-United States
Consul Boyle at Liverpool has COM
municated to the state department
some very interesting information re-
specting the great change that has
taken place in England in the matter Of
street railways. He says that from be
ing one of the most backward in the
matter of providing such accommoda-
tons, the cities of Great Britain are
now moving on an enormous scale
towards their construction. He describes
this movement as one feature of the
remarkable municipal socialism, "
which is taking possession of British
cities, verifying the comment of Lord
Rosebery that the London common
council was conducting the greatest ex-
pertinent in practical socialism the
world had ever seen. Not content with
municipal ownership of street railroads,
electric and gas lighting plants, water
the municipal corporations build dwell
irgs for working men, run hotels, and
erect and operate magnificent baths. In
Liverpool the council has gone so far
as to charge part of what should be
the rent from municipal houses occupied
by working men as homes against the
taxes of the community
Recurring to the subject of electric
street railways Mr.. Boyle says that the
first line was started in Liverpool few
days ago and describes the equipments.
For the benefit of American manufac-
turers of electric plants, fittings and
rails the consul sets forth the best
means for these to put themselves in
position to secure valuable contracts
though he points out a strong prejudice
on the part of the large cities against
the award of contracts to foreigners.
The Liverpool line is an overhead
trolley, a committee of experts claiming
to have discovered that the underground
conduit system, installed in New York,
Washington and Baltimore, is a failure.
He speaks of several other systems of
electric car propulsion which have been
brought forward in England as novel
ties, but which are well known here.
such as the surface contact system. A
scheme under way, he says, is to con
meet Liverpool with all the manufactur-
ing towns within a radius of seventeen
miles by light suburban electric street
railroads, which will carry passengers
in the day time and freight at night.

HOWARD GOULD's MONEY.
His Marriage To Miss C1emmons Will
Not Affect His Fortune.

New York, Dec. 15.--It is now definite
ly established that Howard Gould will
not be called upon to sacrifice any part
or his fortune as the result of his
cent marriage to Miss Katherine Glenn
mons This has just ben determined at
family cOunCil,at which it was agreed
that Howard should be left in undis-
turbed possession of his fortune of $1O,-
100000. one-half of which he would have
been called upon to forfeit under the
enforcement of a clause of his fathers
Will. This clause expressly declared that
any one of Mr.. Gould's children who
should marry without the consent of
the others should forfeit one-half of his
or her fortune, which should be equally
divided among the other children.
There was a strong opposition in the
family from the first to HOWard's at
tentions to Miss Clemmons, and it was
unquestiOnably due to this opposition,
which was backed by the forceful ar
gument of the entailed sacrifice of So
OO0O 900, that so long delayed Mr.. GouId's
marriage. When at last his long court
ship was brought to close by a quiet
wedding in the brides apartments in
the Holland House, no member of the
bridegroOm's family was present. This
was generally accepted as an indica-
ton that the other heirs were 1rrevoc-
ably opposed to the match, and the
prediction was freely made that the
punitive consideration of the will would
be enforced.
Whatever opinions Howard Gould
may have had on the subject he kept
to himself. After exhausting all argu-
ments to obtain the consent of his bro
theirs and sisters to his marriage. he
simply welded the woman of his choice
and stood ready to accept the cOnse-
quences.
1t is probable that the attitude of the
heirs would have been defined at an
earlier date had it not been for the
fact that at the time of the marriage
there were lacking only a few weeks
before the coming of age of Jay
GouId's youngest child, Frank, whose
twenty-first birthday was celebrated on
Monday. when he came into possession
of his $40, 900. 900 share of the estate
and was entitled to a voice in the de-
cision affecting the fortune of his broth
err He then fully concurred in the de-
cision of the other heirs that no pen
atty should attach to his brothers mar
riage. no matter how much the family
might deplore the alliance.

THEY PAID IN STAMPS.
Republican Postmasters Play Even
on Campaign Assessments.

During the campaign the Republican
state central committee levied assess
ments on the Republican pOstmasters
of the state in order to raise campaign
funds, the same as the Populist com
nlittee levied assessments on state Off
found a way of playing partially even
on the assessment. A postmaster's sal
airy depends on the amount of business
his office does, particularly in the way
of selling stamps. When these post
masters sent in their assessments to
the committee instead of buying bank
draft or pOstOffice or express order
they simply purchased enough stamps
of themselves to cover the amount of
their assessment. In this way a part
of it came back to them from the gov
eminent, but the committee had more
stamps than they knew what to do
with That is one reason why no item
for stamps appears in the expense ac-
count of the Republican state central
committee.
