Our Forces.

Like all tribesmen, the Filipinos
began a fierce attack on the Amer

that they we're compelled to fall
back. Five thousand were taken
prisoners, two thousand killed and
thirty-fye hundred wounded. The

The Canal Will Be Built.

New York Journal; The opponents
OF the Nicaragua canal bill could
only muster six votes against the
passage of the measure in the senate.
The practically unanimous approx
al disposes of any doubt that may
have entertained at home or abroad
as to our intention to build the canal,
The action of the senate voices q
public sentiment that will not be
denied.-The bill has become law
and operations will begin at once.

When Rev. James Miller, of
New Haven, Conn, was arrested
the other day 5000 books were
found in his apartments which
were identified by local dealers as
property purloined from them.
Miller claims that he took the
books during fits of absen t-mind-
edness. Our penitentiaries are full
of such absent-mipded people. So
many criminals beside clergymen
have q habit of abstracting other
peoples belongings during fits Of
abstr action. This reverend RASCAL
was SO absent-minded that he
always forgets to return the stolen
volumes. He will be prosecuted on
TIA different counts, preferred by
nearly as many different dealers.
Miller's ministerial friends put
forth the plea that the thiefs mind
had become unsettled by reason of
his long continued researches in
tina Yale library, and that an
uncomfortable mania for appropria-
ting books had developed. But these
apologists were somewhat stumped
when it was shown that their ASSOC
ciate's Observation-Disclosures had
caused him to swipe gold watches
and other such sordid chattels. 1t
may be q case Of Kleptomania,
but it looks strangely like plain
pilfering. A few years in state prison
will give this book collector chance
to collect his errant thoughts

STUMBAUGH CASE.
Attorney For Defendant Tells His
Side of the Controversy.
o the Editor of the State Journal:

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The petition of Mrs. Mary B. Stun
baugh published in Saturday evenings
Journal does Mr.. George w. Stumbaugh
such gross injustice that we deem it due
our client that the facts be made public
and we respectfully request the State
Journal to publish the following facts
which are undiSputed:
1. Mrs. Stumbaugh owns in her own
right a valuable eighty-acre farm,
worth s., 10000.
2. Up till one month ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Stumbaugh had lived together content
ed and happy for forty years and with
out any suggestion of a separation
3. About two weeks ago Mrs. Stun
baugh, through the suggestions and in
f1uence OF third parties, was induced to
permit herself to be removed from her
own home to the house of Mrs. Hop
kinS.
4. It is a coincidence, that on the very
next day after Mrs. Stumbapgh was re-
moved to the house of Mrs. Hopkins
that she made her will, leaving all her
devisable property, that is One-half, to
Mrs. Hopkins. except $4,000, which she
left to her only child, S. F. Stumbaugh
.. The petition alleges that Mr.. Stun
baugh refused to provide her with
medical aid and care other than he him
self gave her. The truth Is that Mr..
Stumbaugh has paid out to Doctors Nc
ClintOck and Sheldon of the city and
Doctor Ward of Kansas City and 9TH
ers, over $4,000 within the last ten
months for medical attendance on Mrs.
Stumbaugh. Mr.. Stumbaugh had a
nurse in attendance at the time Mrs.
Stumbaugh was removed.
6. Mr.. Stumbaugh has since the re-
movaI of his wife and before the COM
mencement of this suit, offered to pay
all the expenses for the care and at
tendance of his wife at any place she
may select.
We firmly believe that if Mrs Stun
baugh had not possessed considerable
property in her own right, that no such
suit would have been commenced. Re

BIG STRIKE IN SIGHT.
Miners In Southern Illinois to Go
Out

Miners In Southern Illinois to Go
Out
Chicago, Nov. 10.-The Record today
says:
The situation in the coal mining fields
in the southern and western sections of
Illinois has taken a serious turn, and 1t
is said that many of the mines may be
tied up within the next 48 hours as a
result of the continued action of opera
tors in sending coal to points west and
southwest, where the miners are on
strike. The United Mine Workers
union has been engaged in strikes in
the Indian Territory, Arkansas, Mis-
souri, and Iowa mines, the product OF
which is consumed for the most part
by the Gould system of railroads
Recently it was discovered that coal
was being shipped from the BeIleV1lIe
district in this state to supply the
wants of the railroads, and the officers
of the miners union entered a protest,
which was accompanied by i threat to
strike unless the practice was dIscon-
tinued. President Hefty, OF the Belle
Vile district, wired John Mitchell, pres
ideQt of the United Mine w OrkerS'
union, asking for instructions and re-
ceived reply which said that if posi-
tive evidence was at hand that the
operators were still sending coal into
districts where strikes were in progress
the men should be called out of the
mines which were producing coal
President Mitchell arrived in Chicago
Yesterday. He said last night that the
situation was most serious and that the
union would certainly carry out its ul-
timatum to strike if any more coal left
the state to supply the railroads in the
southwest. During the day he received
an urgent telegram from President
Hefty asking him to go to East st.
Louis and Mr.. Mitchell replied that he
would start as soon as he had finished
some business in Indianapolis. Mr..
Mitchell said:
THE miners have been careful in
dealing with this situation and have
done everything in their power to avoid
a rupture. The strikes in the south
west were called to enforce our wage
scale and the men in Illinois insist that
theiU labor shall not be used 10 defeat
their brothers in the other states. 1
instructed President Hefty to order a
strike of the miners working for Oper-
ators who persist in supplying the rail
roads we are fighting, and that order
will stand"

ROUTE MAPPED OUT.
For a Gable Line From San Francisco
to Manila.

New York, Nov. 1O.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington, says:
Rear Admiral Bradford has compile
ted the official naval project for
transpacific submarine telegraph ca
bic between San Francisco and Manila
in time to supply congress with all the
essential information at the opening of
the next session that will permit intel
Hgent consideration of the subject and
prompt action for the inauguration of
the great work.
All doubt has been removed regarding
the practcability of the enterprise by
the adoption of Honolulu, Midway and
Guam as relay stations on the long
line and by the discoveries made from
the naval survey ship Nero as to the
character of the ocean bed between
those points. The sounding instruments
of this ship disclosed an abyss in the
western Pacific over five miles deep,
but slight divergence from a straight
line fortunately developed a route
avoiding this insuperable obstacle to
laying a working cable At another
point, on the same stretch between
Midway and Guam, a submerged noun
tain over 1900 feet in height was dis
covered, and a, reasonably level road
around this was found.
The physical practicability of the
line now being assured beyond doubt,
it only remains for congress to weigh
the military necessities and the COM
mercial advantages to accrue from the
construction and operation of the SyS-
TEN. 1t was represented to congress at
its last session that the revenues to be
expected from Pacific cable would not
attract private capital unless it had a
connection with Australia, Japan and
China, as well as with San Francisco,
Honolulu and Manila. For that reason
it was deemed Indispensable that the
United States should own Kusaie or
StrOngs Island, in the Caroline group,
or a cable landing right there to insure
the working of a loop to Australia. The
absence of this may deter any corpora
eT~f ia XII
a cable across the Pacific without a
heavy subsidy.

BUFFALO Is READY.
Has Been Undergoing Repairs For
Past Three Months.

New York, Nov. 10.-The transport
Buffalo will be ready for the service
of carrying supplies to the Philippines
next Sunday. In the last three months
she has been thoroughly refitted both
without and within. Instead of the
dingy war paint she now wears a coat
of white, and a new bridge has been
erected forward. Within, the old
wooden partitions have been replaced
by corrugated galvanized iron bulk
heads. a new ice plant capable of
supplying the wants of all on board
has been put in. The engine and boil
ers have been overhauIed to insure in
creased speed. The quarters for the
officers wives have been made more
cOmmOdious, and other repairs more or
less extensive have been made. The
officers will have quarters on the hurri-
cane deck and the soldiers and crew
will occupy the section between decks
The Buffalo is expected to go into
commission on NOvemb Der Is. but it is
feared that it will be impossible to have
her in readiness then. Because of the
heavy drains on the men of the navy
for the equipment of the recent addi-
lions there may not be men enough to
man the Buffalo. The cruiser Atlanta,
which is nearly ready for sea, will be
delayed for the same reason.

they will be divided between the four
interests named.
