The announcement that the silk
manufacturers of the United States are
rapidly increasing the expectation of
their products adds interest to some
recently compiled statements by the
treasury bureau of statistics regard
ing the silk manufactures and impor-
tations and expectations of this coun-
try during the past few years. These
figures show that the manufacture of
silk in this country has increased
enormously, that the imports of man
ufactured silk have meantime been
greatly reduced, and the expectations
of silk manufactures are now increas-
ing very rapidly, the total exports for
the present calendar year being more
than 80 per cent in excess OF the cor
responding months of last year, and for
the full year will be six times as much
as in 1890.

A Warship and Two Regiments Leave
Manila.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 27.-The ad-
ministratnon has taken steps to safe
guard American interests In the city
of Iloilo. on the island of Panay, one
of the Philippine archipelago, and a
military and naval expedition is now
on its way there from Manila.
Gable ndvices were received here to-
day from General Otis. commanding
the military forces in the Philippines,
and Admiral Dewey. commanding the
naval forces there, showing that they
are acting in concert in the matter.
General Otis reported that he had
dispatched two regiments and a bat
terry OF artillery to Iloilo on army trans
ports, and Admiral Dewey notified the
Navy department that the cruiser Bal
tmore had sailed from Manila for the
same place.
1t is explained that these officers are
acting upon their own discretion In the
matter, and that no official advices
have been received here to indicate
that there is any unusual lawlessness
in Iloilo.
Several days ago it was reported by
way of Madrid that the Spanish forces
In Iloilo had been attacked by the in.
surgents and had driven them back
with heavy losses, but this report lacks
official confirmation. The United States
expedition is more in the nature of a
precaution, but will take active meas.

ARulnaldo's Troubles

Manila, Dec. 27.-The so-called Con.

At the age OF one hundred and
eleven years the oldest man in Vi
emma" is described as hale and hearty,
and able to enjoy a joke and other
good things OF life. He was six years
old when Louis XVI. of France was be-
headed, eighteen when Trafalgar was
fought, and fifty when Queen Victoria
began the longest reign in British his
tory. And this is his philosophy of
life: II never worried and never
grieved. l worked until I was tired.
and slept in unbroken rest until 1t
was time to work again. 1t is those
who sit brooding over their misfor-
tunes who grow old before their time,
and whole nights sorrowing has

bits. he says. 81 got drunk twice in my

PLANS.
wovLD FREE ALL COLONIES.
Af.er the Treaty Is Ratified . o..psiso
VIII BE waged In Congress to Estab-
lish Republics In Cuba. Porto RIso and
the Philippines

tChicago, Dec. 27.-A dispatch from
Washington to the Record says:
Having failed to command sufficient
votes to prevent the ratification Of the
treaty of peace, the Democratic leaders
now propose to organize for permanent
opposition to colonial policy and to
secure the establishment of independ-
ent governments in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands. They de-
sire that the issue for the next cam
paisn shall be: "Shall the United
States have colonies, or shall We cut
loose from the Philippines and the
West Indies as soon as we have organ
ized governments for themT
This Is Mr.. Bryan's plan, and he ad-
yocated 1t with great earnestness
among the Democratic leaders during
the two or three days he spent in
Washington. He abandoned the fight
against the treaty with great reluct-
ance 1t took long time to convince
him there was no use In adopting m
issue that could not win, and that to
be defeated on such an important mat
Ter would damage him for the next
campaign, II 1t did not deprive him Of
leadership.
Among the Democrats and Populists

Bryan's best friends, including Allen
Of Nebraska. Butler Cannon, Gray,
Jones of Nevadn. Kyle, Lindsey, Ba-
con, Clay. McEnery, McLaurin. Nor
gan, Murphy, Pettis, Teller, Turner.
Turney, and several others who have
not vet announced their intentions.
This new issue will necessitate new
alignment of parties, for many ardent
advocates of expansion are Democrats.
The people here are very few who be-
lieve that there will be any other issue
before the people at the next cam
paign. The new alignment of the peo-
pie of the United States on this issue
will bring together some combinations
that will be quite as novel as Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Carnegie, such as Mr..
IIoar and Senator Tillman, ex-senator
Sherman and Mr.. Bailey. 1t will look
very queer to see them walking arm
in arm under the same banner and
stepping to the same music.
One feature of the new Democratic
policy will be opposition to the increase
of the army, which, 1t is believed. Will
be popular among the workingmen.
When Mr. Bryan was here the other
day he laid great stress on this point
and also upon the competition of Ma
lay labor in the Philippines with Amer
lean workingmen, and the destruction
of the beet-root and cane sugar inter.
csts.

A BLOW AT WOMEN.
Female Employes of the Union Paelao MAY
Lose Their Jobs.

Female Employes of the Union Pacific NAY
Lose Their Jobs.
Omaha, Neb, Dec. 27.-The announce
ment that the directory of all the in
terests Of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad Company has decided to
cease employing women and to dis
pense with the services Of those at
present on their pay rolls has created
CONSERVATION In this part of the
country. While there are at least five
times as many men In the service Of
the Northwestern lines in this section
as women. the discharge of SO many
women accustomed to earn their own
living and having no one to rely upon
for their support is regarded as q seri-
Gus problem.
This rule will affect the women en-
plOyed on the Chicago & Northwestern,
Chicago. St Paul, Minneapolis & Oma-
hn, Fremont, Elkhorn Il Missouri VAL
ley, the Union Pacific, the Union Pa
citic, Denver & Gulf, the Oregon Short
Line l. Utah Northern and the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company.
The number of women employed on
these various lines west Of the Mis-
souri, river will run into the thousands.
When Horace q. Burt became presi-
dent of the Union Pacific 1t was an
nOunced that no more women would
be employed by that company, and
while no women could be discharged
to make places for men, when any of
them quit, their places would be filled
by men. This provoked some uneasi-
ness among the women connected with
the Union Pacific at headquarters and
along the line, but it did not cause that
degree of alarm that now pervades the
ranks of the female employees OF the
Northwestern lines.
The order at first was that no woman
would be discharged who had been in
the employ of the companies more than
two years, but later the order appears
to have been made more sweeping. On
the lines of these companies west of
the river female clerks perform very
largely the inferior services that are
commonly assigned to the sterner sex.
Especially is this true of stenograph-
ers, station agents, ticket sellers. and
headquarters clerks. Their salaries
though not averaging as high as the
men employed in the same line of
work, have been very well kept up
and many girls to-day are drawing $I5
and $50 per month from these cOmpan-
ies

father, James 8. Collins, a prominent

peka, who was shot as he lay asleep in
bed early one morning In May last.
John Henry Collins, the convicted
man, was a student in the Kansas State
University, and licensed lay reader of
the leading Protestant Episcopal
Church of Topeka. The motive for the
crime was found In the youths greed
for money, which would come to him
upon the death Of his father. The elder
Collins carried $4,000 OF life insurance
and 1t was provided that Of this
amount $6.5OO should go to the son.

ended two persons had been killed, five
were seriously wounded, and a dozen
others slightly injured.
In addition, one man fell dead on the
sidewalk during the fire, and woman

A. g. Carr, negro; injured in riot.
The presence Of large force of po-
lice prevented more deadly conflict.
Just how the riot started seems i'm
possible to determine. 1t came on sud
denly between Franks, ludlow and
Debruin, white men, on one side, and
about dozen negroes on the other. In
a moment White was dead, his neck
broken and his skull crushed with
heavy piece of iron pipe. Holland was
stabbed five times and was dead an
hour after the conflict.
Franks, Holland and Debruin were
all stabbed and bruised and are in the
hospital department Of the county Jail.
Carr and Dove are seriously stabbed
and bruised and are also under arrest.
1t is remarkable that SO few deaths
and casualties occurred, as fully 500
whites and blacks were battling fur
iously for fully fifteen minutes, using
knives, pistols, clubs and other weap-
ons.
