Witnesses In the saxton Murder
Case Are Missing.

Canton, O., April 6.-The morning
hours of the trial of Mrs. George gave
indication of pr~otracted delay in COM
pIeting the jury panel. A special venire
of sixteen had been called and inquiries
as to qualifications were resumed. At
adjournment the panel had been filled,
but the defense still has nine peremp-
tory challenges.
1t is not believed, however, that many
more challenges will be preferred. Mr..
Sterling, for the defense, said to one
of the court officers unofficially at noon
that ten of the jurors then in the box
would not be challenged. Sixty men
have so far been examined as to quail
fioations FOR the jury.
Mrs. Althouse n young Hogan, the
witnesses wanted by both sides, have
not turned up, and their present where
abouts are unknown. Mrs. Althouse has
left a Pennsylvania town, to which she
had been traced. The defense has been
unable to locate Mrs. Elizabeth Parks,
former cashier in a New York hotel,
who was reported to be engaged to
marry Saxton. at the time OF the trag-
edy. They wanted her deposition.
Mrs. Althouse is the woman to whom
Saxton had beer paying attention. He
was shot as he assembled the steps from
the sidewalk to her front lawn.

Bryan today:
'Wil attend dinner April 10. All speak

Judging from the large number of
dispatches and letters received asking
for information about the new arrange

INSURGENTS AT MALoLOS ARE
GIVEN A REST.

gest the American Proclamation
American Sharpshooters Picking
Off a Few Rebels at Night-Vol-
unteers Armed With Good Guns.

Manila, April Colonel Smith, the
ports that a number of bandits, headed
by a man named Papaissio, attempted
a rebellion ON March 81 and killed sew
eral officials of cunningham. He also
captured other officials aud issued a
proclamation calling upon the natives
to rise and eXterminate the Americans
n ~SpaniardS. Major Sine and two
companies of the California regiment
were dispatched by water to the scene
of the disturbance and Colonel Duboce
were sen overland. On April 2 this
force marched twelve miles and cap
tured Labzib, the headquarters of the
bandits, and destroyed the town. The
troops also captured thirty-five prison
ers and scattered Papaissio's forces,
thus effectually quelling the rebellion
at the outset.
There has been a weeks respite in
the hostilities, chiefly in order to allow
the Filipinos to digest the proclamation
of the United States commission. The
rebels remain remarkably quiet. The
sharpshooters of General Lawton's line
have borrowed the Filipino tactics and
are harassing the rebels at night, pick
ing off some of them nightly.
Malolos is resuming its natural as
pect, but preparations are being made
to establish a permanent camp for the
troops there, and the soldiers are clean

A third of the American force at Ma
lolos is sent nightly to form an advance
line a mile north of the city with pa
trolls and sentries ahead of the line.
General MacArthur's volunteers are
receiving Krag-Jorgensen rifles, the
Filipinos having discovered they can
effectively fire their Mausers and re-
treat before the Americans approach

rifles with effect.
Advices received here from Samar,
an island forming a province of the
Philippines, say the revolutionists there
are weary. Their leader, General Lux

NEW K CREMATED.
Fire Destroys Residence In the Mil
lionaire District.

New York, April IA few minutes
before 2 o'clock this (Friday) morning,
fire broke out in the five-story dwelling
at Nc 2 East Sixty-seventh street, the
home of Wallace Andrews, president of
the New York Steam Heating company.
The fire spread very rapidly and
though the firemen made desperate eff
forts to get the inmates of the
house, they were only partially sue
c~essful, for at least two lives were lost.
The victims are believed to be Mrs. st.
John, daughter of Mr.. Andrews, who,
with her husband and several children,
lived with him, and Austin st. John,
10 year old, Mr.. Andrews grandson.
Several other members of the family
were carried out unconscious.
The house is in the very heart of the
district occupied by the homes of New
.YorkS richest ~millionaires. The house
on the corner is occupied by H. o. Ar
mour, the wealthy beef packer. The
house at No. 4 is occupied by Mr..
Rothschild. The iremen found it i'm
possible to save the Andrews house, and
devoted most of their energies to saw
ing the Armour and Rothschild proper
ties. Many times both were ON fire.

LIKELY TO Be COOPER
Des MOines Man Likely to Be Super
intendent of Schools.
ELECTION is PROBABLE
BELIEVED THAT BOARD WILL
SELECT THE IoWAN.
DR.. Cooper Is an Educator of Nation
al Renown and Might Not Accept,
Even If Elected-This Deemed
improbable, However = Opinion
Prevails That He Will Come.

Had there beer a full membership
present at last evenings meeting of
the board of education, there is little
doubt that a superintendent would
have been elected to fill the place made
vacant by the resignation of DR.. j. F.
Millspaugh last December. But the
time when the long-deferred election
will occur is near at hand. In all prob
ability the board will formally deter
mine upon DR.. Millspaugh's successor
next Monday evening.
There is good ground for the belief
that a majority of the board are pre-
superintendent of public schools at Des
Moines, Ia, to the vacant superintend-
ency.
1t is known that DR.. Cooper has in
dicated his willingness to accept the
tender of the office, but it is not set
tied as to when he could assume the
duties of his new position. There are
eight more weeks before June 2, when
the schools close, and it may be that
the new SUPERINTENDENT will not be able
to come here for a month yet.
The salary at which DR.. Cooper has
agreed to serve, if elected, is stated to
be 5000 a year, the same as now paid
him by Des Moines.
DR.. Cooper is an educator of ma
tional prominence. His success IN
school management is everywhere con-
ceded. Prior to assuming the superin-
tendency of the Des Moines schools,
eight or nine years ago, he was profess
sor of pedagogy at the Iowa state uni
versity. He is a native of Indiana and
a graduate of Cornell university. He
read law for a time, but his inclina-
tons turned him toward the profession
of pedagogy, and in that line he has
achieved great d%istintion.
Twice was DR.. Cooper elected super
intendent of the Omaha schools and
once for the schools at st Paul, Mimi.
each time, however, declining to ac-
cept. At another time he was assured
tendent at Indianapolis, but declined
to be considered a candidate.
DIR. Cooper visited this city ten days
ago. on invitation. and held a confer
ence with members of the board of
education relative to h vacant posi-
ton. He has had no application in for
the superintendency and is hardly a re-
ceptiYe candidate Tor the office. DR..
Cooper had been here before, and If he
concludes to accept the tender Of the
school superintendency it will be be-
cause he prefers Utah's climate and
m%atchless attractions of mountain and
valley. His relations with the Des
Moines schools are entirely congenial
and satisfactory to him and the people
there.
DR.. Cooper is 43, years of age and
has a wife, two sons and two daught-
ers.
AS a member of the board Of educa-
ton expressed it, the whole country
has been CLEANED for the best available
school superintendent for Salt Lake,
and he has been found and will be
chosen.

doubtedly had in view before We left
the other life, we shall have joy and
satisfaction. We should be thankful
when we think of how we have been
sustained, While some upon the right
and the left have fallen into a state of
apostacy.
Now, brethren and sisters, we want
to have Il good conference, and We
may have. And just in proportion as
we exercise our faith today, and the
coming days during the progress of
this conference, viii the blessings of
the Almighty rest upon us; n as the
speakers address us from time TO time,
We Will secure that which will be of
vast Importance TO Us. 1t is not always
the lengthy discf trseS that afford the
Latter-day Sai- that which is most
profitable, bu. ON the various dis
courses they may gather ideas that
afterwards in cur course of life are of
gres: use. All our successes IN the
past have beer in proportion to the eX-
ercise Of cur faith. and have come
through the Holy Spirit, which God
has bestowed upon us. What a blessed
people we are when we contemplate
our surroundings. our prospects and
what The Lord has done for is in the
past. l sometimes think that n Of
the greatest virtues thai a Latter-day
Saint a possess is that of gratitude to
our Heavenly Father for all that he
has done for us. While u experiences
may not always be of such a character
as to delight us at the time, yet we
discover afterwards that those circum-
stances which seemed very unpleasant,
proved of the greatest advantage. We
should always have faith in the Lord,
and always be pleased with u circum-
stances and that which the Lord from
time to time requires of us.
Now, brethren and sisters, in the
name of the ord I bless you this
morning. Let us be faithful unto the
commandments of God, and let us
never allow our prospects to become
dimmed, but let them be fresh before
US by day and by night. And L will
assur you hat if we do this u
growth from day to day and from year
to year will be great and marvellous.
We have not stood still in the past. but
have moved along. increasing our
growth as we passed along. We have
not been able to mark our growth,
any more than a child may mark his,
but we see its extent by looking upon
the past.

SUIT AGAINST SHORT LINE.
Portland Merchants Charge Discrim-
ination In Freight Rates.


Portland, Ore, April 6.-Allen and
Lewis, acting for the merchants Of
Portland, TODAY commenced suit in the
United States court to enjoin the Ore
gon Short Line Railroad company from
charging more per ton per mile on
freight originating in Portland destined
for points IN it's lines than for the same
kind of freight received from the South
ern Pacific company at ogden for the
same destination.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company is made a party to the suit.
by reason of the fact thai the tariff
sheet is a joint one. The railroad COM
pany discriminates against Them in the
matter of rates in favor of San Fran
cisco merchants. By this alleged dis
elimination the Portland merchants
claim that San Francisco merchants
are enabled to control q large portion
of the trade of southern Idaho, which
they claim should go to this city.
