A MISHAP.

An accident occurred in tho blast
furnace at the Bellaire steel plant at a
late hour Thursday night, which re-
suited in serious injuries to Robert
Fields, a colored employee.
Mr.. Fields was proceeding along be-
tween two tracks leading from the
blast furnace, and had come up along
side Of a buggy filed with molten
metal, when another buggy full Of
molten metal came up from the rear,
fastening him tightly between the two
carriages. The jar caused their boil
inc contents to be thrown over his
arms and face, burning the flesh in
some places to the bone. A number
Of employees nearby ran to his assist
ance, and with difficulty released him
from his perilous position. Besides
painful burns, he is bruised in various
parts of the body, owing to the hard
squeeze he received and which he will
not wish to experience again as long
as lie lives.
Later he was removed to his home
on Rose Hill. where a physician at
tended to his injuries. Last night he
was suffering great deal Of pain, and
though a burn by hot metal is always
of serious nature and frequently re-
suits fatally, it is thought he will re-

CHILOREiS' Carnival.
TIE Fancy Dress Ball Given at the
Arion Last Evening
Was the Most Successful Affair
Of the Kind Ever Given by the
Organization A Programme OF
Special Fancy Dances and Other
Move m snts-The Committee CT
Ladies in Charge.

The ball room in the Arion build
ing last night looked like q picture
from q tale Of Fairyland. The decora-
tons were tasteful and artistic. The
baroness Of the walls and chandeliers
was relieved by bright coiors, While
on the floor there was kaleidoscope
scene Of beauty. 1t was the annual
fancy dress carnival for children OF
the members. 1t was marked by a
larger attendance than at any similar
entertainment given in the history OF
the organization. The parents were
present, too, occupying seats in the
balcony and the lobby and manifest
ing by their countenances almost as
much pleasure in looking on as the
young folks found in participation.
The festivities started at about nine
o'clock, when the procession was
formed on the second floor and moved
to the ball room. The grand march
was very pleasing, some difficult move
ments being very gracefully executed.
1t was very pretty picture, with the
animated faces OF the children and
the bewildering array Of bright tints
in the costumes, to give to it color
and action. There were some very
elaborate costumes They ranged in
style from the grave TO the gay, every
race and station almost being repre-
I scented. The Carnival Prince looked
very manly and handsome, and to say
that his small army of followers en-
/ joyed themselves would be to express
it mildly.
| The Carnival Prince was Master Carl
Schmidt, and he sustained his part adj
mirably. The princess was Miss Irene
Kreiter, who fairly divided the honors
of the evening with Master Schmidt.
| They were. a very graceful pair, and
were warmly complimented by the
members. They were attended by
| their pages, Masters Frank Carroll and
Bernie Burke, in appropriate cos
| tunes.
Several fancy dances were very skill
fully and gracefully executed upon the
stage. The gypsy dance was given by
| Misses Britt, Harris and English; the
umbrella dance by Misses Ella Mitch
ell and Edna Miller. Santa Claus was
impersonated by Master Harry Lutz.
The music for dancing was furnished
by the Opera House orchestra The
young folks occupied tie floor until
eleven o'clock, when they repaired to
the dining hall and were treated TO
an excellent spread. Later the older
set enjoyed the feast of good things.
Then they took possession of the floor
and danced merrily until an early hour
this morning. The ladies who had
charge OF the carnival are Mesdames

FILIPINOS NOT CHILDREN.
Aguinaldo's Agent Is Indignant at General
Merritt

Agoncillo, the agent of General
Aguinaldo, with his advisers, returned
to London from Paris last Tuesday
morning. He announced himself as
being very indignant at the statements
made by Major General Wesley Mer-
ritt in reply to the arraignment OF
American officers made by the insur.
gent junta at Hong Kong in an open
letter to President KcKinley and the
people of the United States through
the Associated Press. The general sit
uation also displeased Agoncillo, and
after relating to an interviewer, show
the Filipinos have Loyalty and effec.
lively aided the Americans" he added ::
General Merritt's reference to the
Filipinos as children is simply an
echo of Spanish saying and he may,
like the Spaniards, find his error when
it is too late.
~ am afraid the Filipinos will never
again submit to the yoke Of colonial
government. Rather than live again
as slaves they will fight to the bitter
end in defense of their rights and free
dom. My instructions are to claim the
recognition of their independence.

PEACE CLOSE AT HAND.
Probable Now That Treaty Will Be Agreed

Probable Now That Treaty Will Be Agreed
to by Monday.
Paris Dispatch, Wednesday.
At the request of the Spanish peace
commissioners there will be no joint
session today pending instructions from
Madrid. The date of the next meet
ing is not fixed. The postponement
of today is regarded as hopeful sign
that the treaty will be signed. While
the Madrid government has not yet
received the text of the American
uitimatum, the Spanish ministers re-
ceived quite enough by telegraph on
Monday night to enable them to in
struct their commissioners to retire,
were such their intentions.
The belief was confidently expressed
by several of the American commits
sioners, in conversation with the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
today, that before the expiration OF
the time fixed by the Americans,
namely, Monday next, the Spaniards
will acquiesce in the United States
Philippine offer of $20,0OO,0OO, and
that, ultimately, the treaty will be
signed by all the Spanish commission
ers. 1t is true that the course which
Senior Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish commission, will follow is still
uncertain, as he continues to play to
the gallery but leading member OF
the American commission believes he
will sign with the other Spaniards.
In any case, his place on the commits
sion will be speedily filled, probably
by Senior Leon y Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador here.
Senior Montero Rios sent commu-
nication to the American commission
ers last evening asking a number Of
questions. The most important Of
them, and to get an answer to which
the letter was undoubtedly written
was tucked away in the middle of the
letter. 1t asked, in effect, if the
Americans really meant that the ultl'
matum must he answered by Monday
The Spaniards were assured that such
was the intent, and the answer had
cleared the air. .
A member of the Spanish commis'
sion today assured the correspondent
of the Associated Press that the next
meeting of the commissioners will take
place on Friday or Saturday and that
ISpain's answer then will be the last
she will make, and that it will be
definite conclusion of the matter in
hand.
This utterance is looked upon as in
dicating that Spain will sign the treaty

The propositions we make herein are

American proposal to purchase the is.
lands ?" Agoncillo was asked.
"The opinion of the Filipino govern
ment cannot be favorable to it," he
answered, "aud as they cannot allow
themselves to be bought and sold like
merchandise. Buff the object of the
moderate indemnity is that their re.
cognition and peace be established, 1
don't see why, perhaps, the matter
should not be submitted to their con-
sideration.
Aguinaldo's agent was then asked
what form of government the Filipinos
would prefer if they could not get com
plete independence; but declined to
answer on the ground that it would be
premature to do so, but expressed
"confdence in the honor of the Amer
ican nation and President KcKinley,

standing"

THE WRONG LAUNDRY.

A "raw recruit" once asked some oi
his comrades where they procured
their washing done.
Cup yonder at that tent" replied a
veteran, without a tremor in his voice
or a change in his face, pointing to
General Skaters tent, which was just
in sight. "There's an old fellow there
who is obliged by law to do the wash
ing for our whole company. You see
he has some clothes out there now
driving on the line. He's gruf old
chap, and he'll try to stand you off !;
and if he does, you'll have to wash
your clothes yourself, like those fellows
are doing down there by the river
Don't you let him bluff you; he will
if he can"
The recruit vowed he wouldn't be
repulsed by any laundryman that had
ever been born yet and departed with
his clothes. He soon came back on q
dead run, with panied expression oi
countenance, and his hair on end.
"How did you come out ?" asked the
boys.
"He tried to make me believe be
was a general, or something >of the
kind" replied the recruit; "but l told
him that game wouldn't 60. Then he
ordered me to get out of there, and
ans'ered 1 would, when he gave me q
receipt for my clothes, and promised
to do 'em up right. Then he rushed
at me like locomotive, and 1 was
sorry I wasn't any livelier in gettin
off the track. When 1 got up again
he was after me once more, and chased
me half way here. No, boys, I'd rath'
er wash my own clothes than take 'em
to him again."

duction of cotton. 1t is the greatest
enemy the southern farmer has to deal
with. So long as the Negro can give
his cotton crop as security to get sup
plies to grow nothing but cotton, there
will be an over-production of the
staple.
Farmers organizations will do no
good, because the politicians get hold
of them and run them to suit them
selves, and they never get at the bot
