People Flock In from Miles Around to
Listen to His Address.
STtRTAlNs AUDIENCE IN GREAT STYLE
Warmly Endorses the Policy of the Admin
istration in the Philippines,
SPEAKS FROM HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Believes the Proper End Cnn Ne
Attained Only by the Republican
Psrty-Glowipg Tribute Paid
to the Soldiers.

TECUMsBH. Neb., Oct 5,-(special Tele-
gram.)-The first republican meeting of the
campaign for Johnson county, which was
held here tonight, was hummer. The large
hall was crowded to the doors, people driv-
ing in from the country for miles TO hear
Chaplain Mailley OF the famo,s Fighting
First. The chaplain was at his best and for
upwards of an hour and a half entertained
his audience in royal style.
He said his appearance here tonight and
what he had to say need be Of no political
significance. He proposed TO inform his
auditors of the exact condition of affairs in
the Philippines as he found them and state
the problem that now confronts this country
in regard to the outcome of the action We
are taking in the matter. He asked that all
party prejudice be laid aside and that the
question be considered from standpoint of
humanity and benevolence.
He certainly was obliged to his populisL
friends who had assisted him in securing his
| position in the service, but after a personal
observance of conditions as they low exist
| in the Philippines he could conscieutiously do
nothing else than come out squarey in sup
| port of the principles advanced and the et-
| fective results being accomplished by the ad-
| ministration in it's conduct of the war in
| that faraway land.
| The end that seems possible of accomplish
! ment under the direction of this admins
| tration could not be obtained by demo-
cratic or populist administration, for the
reason that these parties were advocating ac-
| ton in direct conflict with the work now
! being done.
The chaplain gave much information con-
| cerning the islands, paid a glowing tribute
to Uncle Sans boys who had lent such
praiseworthy assistance and who are on the
| firing line now and closed his Gpeecn amid
a tumult of deafening applause.
! FREMONT, Neb., Oct. 5-(Special)-T
| republican campaign opened last night with
| meeting at Masonic hall addressed by
Judge Reese and Chaplain Mailley. There
| were about 400 present, fair number be-
ing fuslonists. Judge Reese's address was
not stump Speech but brief resume or
national and state issues, and he was
| warmly applauded.
Chaplain Mailley made the speech OF the
evening, explaining at some length the rea-
sons which compelled him to change his
political views, which were in substance his
| honest belief from his own personal observa-
tion that the position taken by his former
| party associates was radically wrong. He
advocated retaining all the possessions over
| which the flag floats, declaring the soldier
| Is the pioneer of Christianity and civiliza-
| tion. He advocated an Anglo American al
lance for the spread and protection of COM
merce and the advance of a higher civiliza-
tion. The meeting was in every way suc-
| cess.

Grirgs, Opinion Made Public.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The opinion of
Attorney General Griggs in the case of Cap
tain Oberlin NJ, Carter Of the army upon
which the president approved the findings of
the court-martial was made public today.
After dismissing certain of the minor
charges as improved, the attorney general
takes up the more serious questions involved,
first considering the objection that the
charges upon which Captain Carter was
found guilty were incongruous. He says
that unlike the ordinary criminal procedure
the military usage and procedure permit
OF an indefinite number OF offenses being
charged and adjudicated together in one and
the same procedure.

MANILA, Oct, 5.-Aguinaldo, according to
report brought to Manila today by a Do
minican friar from the north, has issued
orders to the Filipino soldiers in the north
ern provinces to return to their towns and
to resume farming. This story lacks con-
hrmation, but the rumor may be in accord

country as productive as possible by using
his men in alternate shifts on the farms or
under arms.

Bids for supplying the heating and ven

building to replace the Lovejoy school were
opened at the District building today, and
were as follows:

$4OO provided the temperature regulating
apparatus is not used, and H. l. Gregory,
s2,775, with a reduction of $3.50 if the iron

bids for constructing the building, exclu-
sive of the heating apparatus, exceeded the
amount appropriated. Those bids were re-
jected, as told in The Star at the time, and
new ones invited. These last also exceeded
the amount available, and they, too, must
be rejected, and the plans so altered as to

written by Rear Admiral Kautz to his

cipient. 1t is dated March %, and is in the
easy vein of a relatives private corre-
spondence.
In the letter he says: you will probably
read lot of stuff about me in various
newspapers, but l can assure you that
am all right. and have done nothing 1 or
my friends may be ashamed Of unless 1t
is the making of a king, which 1 was
obliged to do today. But he is a very in
offensive sort of young fellow, a native,
nineteen years old. He wears a French
admirars cooked hat but no shoes or
stockings or trousers; still, considering the
torrid weather, he looks very well in this
climate. But 1 hardly think he would look
as well on 4th street. Cincinnati.
Il am not king here, but just plain
boss of the ranch The German consul
had that position up to my arrival, but
since then he has been a very silent part
ner am very much afraid he does not
like me-in fact, l not at all popular
here with the Germ ans. But l am all right
with the English, and hope to pull through
with them. L have no doubt of being Sus-
tained by the government in all | have
dCne l hope to get away from here in a
month from this time. but will not be in
San Francisco before the middle of May

LARGEST SHIPMENT OF BUTTER.
Fifty - Four Thousand Boxes Sent
From Melbourne.

Under date of Cape Town, February %
Consul General Stowe submits to the State
Department the following statistics relative
to the butter trade of Australia and South
Africa:
THE largest consignment of butter in
one vessel 600 tons) which ever left Aus
tralia recently sailed in the Austral for
England The India had also on board 43S
TONS so that in one week Melbourne has
earned the credit of sending out the largest
shipment of fresh butter which ever left
any port in the world. Including small
consignment for Cape Town, the shipment
comprised 54 900 boxes of butter. AS an
experiment, 500 dozen eggs We're included
among the produce for this port The value
of the butter and some 10000 rabbits on
board for England was $6I6 443.5O. l call
attention to this for the reason that my
effort to induce the producers OF the United
States to ship butter has met with but little
success, although, as mentioned in recent
report butter has arrived in South Africa
from the United States under Australian
marks The total import of butter into
South Africa with the exception of Portu-
guese territory for 1898 was 5,fS2,olI
pounds, against 1901 ,455 pounds for 1897,

Stricken by Pneumonia and Has Had
to Cease Playing.

Tim" Murphy, the popular comedian,
last seen here in THE Carpetbagger," is
critically i'll at Oshkosh, Wis. according to
a dispatch last night from that city. After
the performance there Monday evening he
had an attack of pneumonia, and yesterday
was reported as in very serious condition.
All dates ahead have been Cancelled.
This will be sad intelligence to his fam
lily and friends in this city, where he was
born, and to which he has always gladly
returned after his road seasons finished
All his life has been devoted to the stage
and in his earliest years he won widespread
renown as an amateur with his limitations
of celebrated actors. Then he entered the
professional arena and in "A Brass Mon
key made a hit. Hoyt wrote the part of
Maverick Brander the cattle king con-
gressman of "A Texas Steer" for Tim.
and in ii he achieved the highest success in
that line. 1t led to his debut shortly as a
star, and since then he has worked his
way, with commendable Intelligence and in
dustry, along a somewhat thorny path.
After dropping the Steer" he secured
''Old Innocent, which gave him a con-
genial role, and then Opie Read and Frank
Pixley provided THE Carpetbagser." which
he presented successfully at the Columbia
Theater early this season.
Inn mas been developing very RAPIDLY
during the last few. years, and it has been
predicted frequently that he will nrova the

ALLEGED COPPER COMBINE.
Marcus Daily Declares the Matter Has
Been Exaggerated.


CHICAGO, April 26.-Marcus DAILY, the
Montana copper king" is at the Auditor
ium, having arrived from New York where
he mas been for several weeks. When ask
ed about the copper combine he gave it to
be understood that the Anaconda property
had not been secured, and professed to
have no knowledge that the trust had been
conSummated.
Il heard of this talk in New York Satur-
day" he said, "and made inquiries among
something about it. if the deal had been
carried through, but hone of them knew
anything more than l did.
1T may be that something was done in
New York yesterday as the advance in
stocks seemed to indicate. but if so 1 have
received no definite knowledge to that ef-
feet"
"Iod think you would he apt to hear If
anything had been accomplshed?" he was
asked.
Well yes. I rather think l would" re-
piled he, with a smile. Before the schema
can be said to have been consummated
some business will have to be done with me.
1T looks as though the deal would go
through, but the talk of a capitalization of
S5oO,oD,OOO is nonsense. That is a greatly
exaggerated figure. 1t would simply be i'm
possible to make fair earnings on such d
capitalization"

ATROCITIES OF CHINESE
Catholic Missionaries and Children Tortured
to Death by Fire.
Europeans In Hong Kong Delighted
at Germany's Intent to Punish
the PerpetFators.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April .26.-OrientaI
advices by the steamer Empress Of China
are as follows:
Europeans in Hong Kong are delighted
with Germany's promptitude in taking
measures to inf1ict punishment for attacks
made upon German subjects at Ichou Fou,
in southern Shan Tung. An Ichou Fou cor
respondent says:
ITO the southwest, twenty miles from US,
there have been number Of riots, but no
one has been punished as yet. A Catholic
priest who Is just in from that vicinity,
says that his life had only been saved
through the fleetness of his horse.
Three Catholics have been killed in
Feihein, about forty miles to the west of
u.s. Six of them have been killed at Shen
Shan, of whom two were burned to death in
a big public bonfire. This is a different af-
fair from the one in which child was
burned and two had their eyes put out by
a fiendish mob.
THE perpetrators of the outrage to the
east, who dismembered the bodies of two
Catholics, burned them over fire and
burned a living child, having received no
punishment of any kind, have been en-
boldened to attempt still further outrages.
However, they met with an unexpected
check when they attacked three Germans
and suffered considerable loss"
Russia is making further encroachment
She is, according to Pekn advices, con-
structing roads from Pamir plateau to the
frontier of China. A large force of Rus
sian troops has already marched from Pa
mir into the province of Shinkyo. officers
commanding the force declare that they
have for their object the construction OF
roads, but their real object appears to be
something very different. Chinese local au-
thorlues, reporting the matter to the Pc
kin government, declare that the Russian
troops have arrived to occupy territory
and have warned the government that the
matter is very grave, indeed.
10 avoid partition the Chinese govern
ment proposes to open to foreign trade all
those ports or bays which are in danger of
being claimed by other powers before any
demand is made.
