Said to BE Supplying the FiIipinos
with Arms and Ammunition.

with Arms and Ammunition.
San Francisco. Sept. 26.-The Even.
ing Post prints an article today in
which it makes known the plans of the
Germans in regard to the disposition
OF the Philippines.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago the Post published an exclu-
sive article regarding the seizure of
the Ladrone islands by the United
States. The details of this plot on the
part Of the government were furnished
by a gentleman high in opinion of gov
eminent officials OF this country and
Germany.
The same gentleman now states that
Germany Is endeavoring TO embitter
the followers OF Aguinaldo against the
Americans, and she has officers in their
ranks secretly drilling them. The
gentleman in question says this has
been going on for years, and. prior to
the interference of the United States
in Philippine affairs, almost every Ger
man vessel that landed there carried
one or more officers in disguise, and
stacks of arms and ammunition tor the
insurgents.
The POSTS informant has just re-
ceived letter from an authoritative
source in Hamburg giving details of
Germany's future in the islands.
Briefly. the plan follows: Germany
will send numerous trading vessels to
the islands, and will arm $50, 900 Fill
pinos, besides furnishing Kiupp guns
and artillery for field use The island
ers will be thoroughly drilled by GEL
man officers, and by February, Agui-
naldo will be prepared to make an on
slaught upon the American forces.
To aid this plot, the letter says, Ger
many Is trying TO induce China to pur-
chase a large number of big war vessels,
ostensibly to strengthen her navy, but
really to be held for transfer to Ger
many should complications arise. The
| German agents who have made report
to their government say it will be i'm
possible for the United States TO land
more than $4,000 men in the Philip
pines before Aguinaldo is ready TO make
his coup. The German report Of the
condition of affairs says Americas only
hope Is to disarm the insurgents.
The Post attributes the recent order.
ing of additional troops to Manila. after
mastering out bad been ordered, as an
indication that the United States has
been informed Of Germany's attempt
to Illustrate American acquisition OF the

Philadelphia, Sept 27.-Rev. Cyrus
L. Brady, archdeacon Of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese OF Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and chaplain of the First Penn
sylvania volunteers, in q sermon to-
night severely criticised the manage
ment of the volunteer camps which
came under his, observation at Chicka-
manga, where his regiment was sta
toned for long time. He said the
medical, commissary, quartermaster
and ordnance departments were all to
blame, and continued thus:

hospital in camp for SO hours without
any medical attendance whatever.
II saw men In those hospitals suffer

hOLD-UP NEAR KANSAS CfTY.
Missouri Pacific Train Robbed by Men
Who Used Dynamite.

Kansas City, Sept. 28.-The Colo
RADIO and Coffeyville express train on
the Missouri Pacific railway, which
left Kansas City at 9:l5 o. clock tonight,
was held up by robbers near Leeds, a
suburban station, about six miles out
from the Union depot. The locomo-
tive and baggage car were detached
from the train and taken down the
track toward Dodsop. after which the
robbers shattered the Pacific Express
Company's car with dynamite
Officials of the express company state
that the safe contained little treasure,
as the messenger carried nothing des-
tined for points beyond Coffeyville.
The explosion OF the dynamite was
heard by many persons in the south
eastern part Of Kansas City. Flying
debris from the shattered car carried
down telegraph wires along the Frisco
track. which parallels the Missouri Pa
cific at that point.
Before committing the hold-up the
robbers entered the Frisco station at
Belt Line, just east of Leeds, and over
powered the operator After smashing
the instrument in his Office. they took
the operator with them to tie scene OF
the robbery.
The robbers numb seven, it is
reported. The scene Of the hold-up lie
not far from Brush creek OF the Blue
river, where there is thick brush and
heavy timber, and the escape OF the
robbers from that locality would not be
difficult matter. A special train has
taken police and railway detectives to
the scene. At late hour the train
was still detained there, owing to the
wreck Of the baggage car. So far as
can be learned the passengers were not
molested.

AN EVENTUAL VOYAGE.
Scurvy Killed Most OF the Crew Of tn,
German Bark Olga.

Scurvy Killed Most Of the Crew Of the
German Bark Olga.
Philadelphia, Sept 27.-The Ger
man bark Olga arrived at the Della
ware breakwater tonight for orders
from Samarang, Java, laden with sugar.
She brought to close voyage Of
strange fatalities, having only few Of
the original officers on board, Captain
Dreyer, her commander. and five 9TH
ers having died Of that dread disease,
scurvy, which 50 often breaks out on
board vessels from the tar East. The
Olga sailed from SouIabaYa April 8.
When about two months out from port,
the disease first made its appearance,
and one by one the men we're taken
i'll, until the ships company was re-
duced to four men able to be about.
Captain Dreyer was among the first to
be stricken. He lasted only a few
days. suffering great agony. Then the
mate took charge, and he too, was
stricken down, leaving in charge Of the
vessel men who had little knowledge
of navigation. When st. Michaels was
reached. q new captain was taken
aboard and the fateful voyage was con.
tinued.
The Olga is now waiting orders, and
will probably come TO this port TO dis
charge her cargo.

Pier Work All Done.

The work at the pier of the Missouri
bridge, which has occupied the atten-
ton of the railroad company For nearly
ten months is now finally completed.
The finishing touches of the job were
put on by William jaeger and a force of
men who reflled the excavation that
was made to reach the base Of the pier
and prepa1efo r moving it. There were
over 5000 yards of earth to be replaced
and this work was finished a few days
ago, jaeger having the contract to do the
work for s cents a yard. The moving
of the pier has been expensive for the
company, having been begun last fall.
It was necessary first to excavate the
earth for a large area about the pier,
then place rollers under the old pier,
build a new foundation, and move the
pier to that, which vas successfully ac-
complished some weeks ago, as described.
The pier now rests on a solid founda-
ton, and is believed to be good for all
time. The work has cost the railroad
company a considerable sum, but they
are we'll satisfied with the expenditure
as it has insured the bridge against any
possible accident.

This shows an increase of over $4,000
OOO in the assessment over last year, or
nearly so per cent. This valuation is
higher than had generally been believed
would be arrived at. The representa-
tives Of railroads, it is needless to add,
fought against such a high increase,
arguing that in their opinion it was
higher in proportion than other prop
erty was assessed at. But the board
didn't look at it that way and insisted
on the raise by a unanimous vote. The
board is composed of Governor Briggs,
Auditor Hannum, Attorney General
Cowan, Treasurer Nichols and Commits

and nuggets. He was given a strip
on his brothers. claim, No. IS, and
worked the same last winter, never
securing less than 10 cents per pan,
n he says that it does not pay to
work any dirt there that yields less
than this amount. He is we'll satisfied

next spring. His father also worked a
strip on the same claim to good advan-
tage. G. H. Lippy is now on his way to
White Bear, MIMI, where he has a

Inc mining laws were being most vigor-
ously enforced, and it really cost anv
one operating on Canadian soil about
81 per cent of the total output in ex.
penses and fees to the government.
This was so oppressive, that a vast
amount of gold was smuggled out of
the district, and the newcomers were
going to American territory, where many
good strikes are being made, and where
the restrictions do not govern. AS an
example of the trouble on the Canadian
side-if a new strike is made, the dis.
coverer has about $500 in surveyors
fees to pay, minors licenses, and other
expenses, and then every other claim
belongs to the queen and must be
worked for the benefit Of the govern.
ment. On the Alaska side these laws
do not exsist.
G. H. Lippy reports that the entire
Alaskan tract is overrun with prospec.
tors this season, and:some good strikes
will probably be made on American ter.

State Printing Contracts Let.

The commissioners of public printing
met Tuesday afternoon when a full
board was present to consider proposals
for doing the state printing for the COM
ing biennial period. Mr.. Carruth of
the Grand Forks Plaindealer who had
in a ridiculously low bid, appeared be-
fore the commission and made the state
ment that he had figured on a wrong
basis, that he had figured a large
amount Of the work to be done on type
setting machines, whereas a careful re-
vision demonstrated the fact that it
would be impossible to use machines
except on a small amount of the work.
AS he could not possibly fulfill his con-
tract without entailing a large loss he
desired to withdraw his bid, and made
formal written request so to do. The
commission after receiving the opinion
of the attorney general as to his RICH: to
withdraw his bid allowed him to do so
and thereupon let the printing to the
next lowest bidders-the Bismarck TR1-
BUNE company receiving the contract
for the first and second classes and the
Grand Forks Herald the contract for
the third and fourth classes.

hobos put off the trains at this time Of

from the switch saw the man and he
can give a good description. At
the point of the switch there is an EN-.
bankment of some twelve or thirteen
feet and had the switch been turned in

have resulted. At dark it was reported
that the man had not been captured
