Y. M. l.. ReceptiOn.

Y. M. l.. Reception.
On Friday night of last week the
Young Mems League entertained
about fifty young ladies with choice
program at the residence of Rev.
Wilson Aull. Refreshments of ice
cream and cake were served between
part lst and I'd of the program. It
was noticed that the young ladies
didn't seem to take as kindly to the
cream as would be expected and up
on investigation it was found to con-
tain very noticeable flavor of salt,
owing to leak in the freezer. A
'fresh" quantity was secured which
wac did ample justice to. Following
is the program.

FACTS AND OBSERVATIONS.
A Trip to Beatyville, Clay City
Etc.

During the recent term OF Circuit
Court, Trimble OF the ADVOCATE made
short stay at Beatyville reaching
the town on Tuesday morning. The
attendance was not large. On the
preceding Saturday the Republican
convention had been held at which
time very large crowd was present,
and the convention ct Lexington
claimed the attention of great many
more. We met Prof. Batson, CT Ken
lucky Wesleyn College, Winchester,
Robt Riddle and i. u. White, OF
Irvine, the Court officers and county
officials. Judge Redwine of Louis
vile Convention nolofiety, presided.
As was expected, he justified his
rulings in that convention. At this
town.is located one OF the large lum-
Der mills operated by Day 81 Swan.
This and the coal mines appeared TO
be the public enterprises of the town.
Trade was quiet and crops in the
neighborhood were not flourishing.
AS we returned we met on the
train Mr., Elijah Patrick, of Magoffin
county. Although he is II years old
and the infirmsties of age are taking
hold, he was enroute to Lexington
where he amused the Republican
Assembly with speech. He said
that since he had been reading the
ADVOCATE he had become stronger
Republican. We replied that, if the
paper was doing so much service every
Republican in his county ought to be
a subscriber. We were pleased to
have his commentator of the moral
and religious tone of the ADVOCATE,
and of the good we are doing. With
tears he spoke of his mother who is ~
years old, whose memory is unimpair-

The capture of Cen Pic del Pillars brass

how in the world will it ever be able to

AEuinaIdO in the Field.

The news that Aguinaldo has himself
taken command of the troops formerly led
by General Luna is fair proof of the truth
of the statement that Luna was killed by
members of Aguinaldo's guard some time
ago. Thus far in the instruction the die
tator has held himself aioof from the battle
front and has been content with conduct
ing the literary. financial and patriotic de-
partments Of the enterprise. There was
time in his career, before the Americans
reached Luzon. when Spain was the an
tagonist. when Aguinaldo took the field in
person. But he ran few risks then for
there was little fighting and to command a
body of guerriIlas was merely to go at times
with short Tations and to be under the
necessity of keeping on the move. The
death of Luna must have been a severe
blow to the insuTgent cause. whatever may
have been the feeling between him and
AguinaldO. for nothing less than serious
shortage of military talent would probably
suffice to persuade the Tagal agitator to
incur the risk of personal harm. 1t is ac-
cepted as likely that if ne should fail in
battle the cause would collapse. for his
personality has appeared thus far to keep
the rebels together despite their tendency
to disintegrate and to seek peace with the
Americans.
The weeks fighting has been indecisive
The enemy has been kept away from the
approaches to Manila. Meanwhile regular
troops are arriving in the Philippines and
more are departing from these shores for
Manila. and it is believed to be the purpose
of the government to enlist volunteers IN
der the army reorganiZa ton act. 1t is diff
cult to ascertain or to judge the precise
situation with regard to the necessity for
more troops in Luzon. For obvious rea-
sons the administration does not make pub
lie every detail of the campaign, or every
confidential report from General Otis. 1t
has learned that there are far too many
agencies for the immediate transmission of
news to the insurgent headquarters to war

Admiral Dewey is on his way home to re-
ceive a greeting the heartiness of which
will be something to remember. All par
ties. all classes, all sections, are united in
admiration of this man. He has exhibited
in the highest degree the courage of a
fighting sailor, the modesty which should
always attend deserved victory, and the
qualities of a statesman and diplomat He
has carried himself SO well, through SO
long a period, and through such a variety
of trying circumstances, that his name has
been added to the list not only of the ma
tons but of the worlds heroes. He is
our most eminent man of action since Gen
eral Grant.
When he lands. what is to be expressed
to him as the country's sentiments of ap-
probation? How, and by whom, and in
what terms, shall he be told of the honor
in which he is held by his cOuntrynen?
And what will warm his own heart most,
and make him prouder than ever of his
country, and more deyoutIy thankful than
ever of having had opportunity to con-
spicuously serve such a country?
Let US suppose a man of the sentiments
of Mr.. Hoar and MIR. Atkinson selected to
be spokesman and improving the occasion
to speak for the anti-expansionists. "Ad-
miral Dewey, he would say, regarded in
the light solely of a fight, your perform
ance at Manila was very clever. But how
vulgar it is to fightI How improper for a
republic to fight Your going to Manila
was most untortunatei But more unfertu-
nate still was your remaining after sinking
the Spanish fleet If you had only sailed
away at once after doing that! Why, in
great Caesars name, did you stay? We
are preparing, as far as possible, to undo
it all We shall ask the people next year
TO recede from tle position they have been
spurred by your action to take, and to let
the Philippine Islands slide. You must not
take account personally of our position.
We understand that you acted only as a
sailor under orders. We do not hold you
personally responsible for the terrible
plight into which your official achieve
| ments have plunged the country.
Even the undergraduates profess TO be
proud of Admiral Dewey. And yet the
brief address outlined does no injustice to
their real attitude toward him and his
superb services. Is he likely to be very
proud of them?

The Inconvenience of China

Several days ago the wires brought the
sad word that three American missionaries
and several converts had been murdered in
China by natives. Doubtless in the course
OF a few weeks official reports of the trag-
edy will be received by the government
and steps will he taken to make the proper
representations to China. Meanwhile the
incident is serviceable as pointing anew to
the depl0rable conditions now existing in
the Celestial Empire. Since the opening OF
China to the world there has never been
a. much security for life and property en-
1oyed by foreigners touring and doing BUSH
ness in the country as should have been ac-
corded by that government LatterIy the
degree of safety has even decreased, owing
to causes which point Enthusiastically to the
necessity for some measure of change to
prevent the whole of China from becoming
the scene of anarchical confusion China
Is today helpless either to prevent foreign
absorption or to preserve order within her
borders among her own people. The steady
encroachments of Russia from the north
have called the attention of the Chinese
statesmen TO their defenses and finances
even more acutely than did the war with
Japan. with all its disastrous results. They
