BABY DOES NOT GROW.
A Month Old and Weighs No More Thar
When Born.

A Month Old and Weighs No More Than
When Born.
Oshkosh, Wis, Nov. 14.-About a
month ago there was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Sibrit Emnott, of this city, a
mite of daughter who weighed only
l 1-3 pounds. She was fully developed
and seemed to be perfectly healthy, al
though she measured only foot in
length and did not weigh as much as
the bottle of milk which lay beside
her. The arrival Of the midget created
considerable newspaper comment at
the time, but the strangest part of the
whole affair is the fact that yesterday
the child is no larger than when it
was born.
Ordinary doll clothes still do duty as
the baby's wardrobe and she is rocked
to sleep in dolls cradle. A teacup
easily covers her head, but for all that
she seems to be as healthy as 10
FOUNDER and in the opinion of DR.. Cor
bett her chances of life are fully as
good. The father and mother of the
little mite are of medium size and her
ancestors back three generations were
all strong and robust. It is the first
case of the kind in either family.
Birdie Fox Case on Trial.
Waupaca, Wis, Nov. 14.-The case
Of the state against George Miles, of
Oshkosh for the alleged murder of
Birdie Fox was taken up by the cir
cult court yesterday morning. The al
legged murder was comitted two years
ago at Oshkosh, in a house of which
Birdie Fox was an inmate. From the
evidence given at the preliminary ex-
animation it appears that Miss Fox
and Miles were found in her room late
in the night by the other inmates of
the house. who had been awakened by
several shots. Miss Fox had been shot
and died soon after, while Miles had
two bullet wounds in his body. His
defense is that she tried to kill him
and that afterwards she committed
suicide.

REBELS MAKE A GOOD STAND.

Fight Until Our Forces Are Right Upon
Them-Latest of AguinaldO.
The skirmish line, which was a mile
long, advanced rapidly, keeping up
constant fire. The Filipinos made an
unexpectedly good stand, many of
them remaining under cover until the
Americans were within twenty feet of
them. Major Marsh thanked a small
trench full of insurgents, surprising
them and Strengthening nearly all of
them before entering the town. The
gatling killed five of the force holding
the bridge and swept the country be-
yOnd the town, driving about $50 Fill
pinOs into the hills. Marsh's battalion,
entering the town first, captured a big
flag which was flying over a convent.
The insurgents are supposed to have
retreated toward Dagupan. 1t was
impossible to pursue them, as the
American troops were exhausted and
their supply of ammunition was low.
The OutpOsts killed five Filipinos dur
ing the fight during the night The
body of the Filipino lieutenant colonel
commanding was found among the
killed. The regiment returned to San
Fabian Sunday, it being impossible to
get supplies over the roads. A procla-
NATION Of the Filipino secretary of war
was found in all the villages. giving
glowing accounts of alleged Filipino
victories and saying that 1900 Ameri-
cans had been killed and $4,000
wounded during the war.
The dead and wounded were brought
to Manila today. The officers who are
returning say it is impossible for Gen
eral Wheaton to attempt a junction
with General Young, on account of the
roads. Prisoners say it is reported that
Aguinaldo with an army estimated at
10000 probably a great eXaggeration),
is retiring toward Dagupan, intending
to leave by railroad for the northwest.
Some of them said they believed the
Filipino army had passed the line in
tended by Generals Wheaton and
Young to be covered on Aguinaldo's
rear, and that he passed San Fabian
going northeast fortnight ago.
Colonel Vessels, of the Third cav
airy, while near San Nicolas. north of
Tayug, captured a Filipino bull train
loaded with records of the insurgent
war department and the presses and
outfit of the newspaper Independence.

FOR MkINLEY AND HOBART
Senator Plat of New York Announces His
Preference.
Declares the President Has Made n
Record Which Cannot he Sue
cessfulIy Assaulted

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Evening
World prints an Interview with Senator T.
C. Plat, in which the latter is quoted as
strongly advocating the denomination of
President Mckinley and Vice President
Hobart. The Interview says:
Senator Plat said that all the criticism
which had been flung at Mckinley cannot
alter facts, and that the President has
conducted in magnificent style the shortest
and most decisive war Of modern times
and simply astonished the old world by
the way In which he did 1t.
This general satisfaction continued
Senator Plat, has undoubted demonstra-
ton by the Presidents reception wherever
he has been. Without a shadow of a doubt
he will be nominated and elected.
The republican party is stronger than
II ever was Vice President Hobart will be
reelected with Mr. Mckinley. He Is my
choice for Vice President, just as Mckinley
is for President.
AS for the democratic party ii has only
one issue-SilVer-and that has been re
pudiated by the entire country.
" so far as We have gone American COM
mercial interests Will aSsuredly benefit At
any rate there is a certainty no land ever
held by the United States must ever be re
Hnquished. That would be impossible.

Hague as visionary, beautiful. but i'm

FOOT BALL. AT ANNAPOLIS.
Secretary Long Asks for Capt. Coon
ers Opinion. --.

The question Of the resumption of foot
ball matches between teams representing
the Military and Naval Academies has been
referred to Capt. Cooper of the Annapolis
institution for report. Secretary Long will
most probably be guided in his action by
the character Of Superintendent Cooper's
report.
The outlook for the success OF the proDO-
sition is not considered very bright. how
ever, for the reason that Capt. Cooper is
believed to be opposed to it. The games
between the two military academies have
given rise TO extremely bitter rivalrias
between the respective cadets and is rep
resented to be injurious to their stud as.
IL was on that account that foot ball con-
tests between the teams were prohibited
during the administration of Superintendent
Ernst at the Military Academy and Super
intenuent Cooper at the Naval Academy
several years ago. Col. Ernst has been sue
c1eded at the West Point school by Col
Mills, who faVOrS resumption of the
games, but Capt. Cooper. who is still in
charge al Annapolis, has not changed his
mind on the subject. so far known. Sec
rotary Aiger has aulhorize d Col. Mills to
exercise his discretion in the matter, and
Secretary Long has asked Capt Cooper
what he thinks about it.
Under the present rules foot ball is allow
ed at both academies. hut the teams are not
allowed to play elsewhere than on their
own grounds. This restriction serves eff
feCtually to keep the embryo generals and
admirals apart, SO far as the gridiron is
concerned.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. May 24.-Today's early mar
ket Was given over to dullnese. prices luc-
tuating indifferently about the opening lev
cl- In the room the feeling was generally
against any Improvement in prices and ev-
cry effort was made to force a lower level.
No special news came in to help the move
ment hut the continued lack OF new bust
ress was good negative argument.
The franchise bill is mentioned most fire.
quenily in tn" argument against prices. hut
the fact remains that want Of aggressive
buying is the most helpful Of all depressing
Influences. There is no public demand and
no pool buying Of any significance The
leaders for the decline are willing to sell
stocks. which the active operators IN the
opposite account expect To buy Al cheaper
prices during the summer
There is a very positive conviction that
much of the existing doubt can be- cleared
away before the midsummer. and that an
advancing market can then be undertaken
with good results.
The crop situation may not be such an
evil factor as is now believed. and railroad
dividends are not likely to suffer during the
year. There may be some selling of GER
tain stocks which haze no dividend records
only because of manipulation
This class OF stocks can unSettle the en-
tire market but in the process idle money
should come out and be Employed in the
purchase Of the better and more thoroughly
tried issues.
The present campaign is aimed largely at
the shares which have no material reason
for being al tho present level.
The various small railroad shares which
were advanced under the influence OF the
surplus strength of their neighbors have
been selected fer the center OF the attack
in the railroad list In cases where disap-
pointing crop can be added TO the incen-
tive the decline is the more readily forced.
The local railways and the industrials are
selected for obvious causes and the lower
price idea is consequently not without lOgi-
cal explanation. on the other hand the
selling Of a market is as easily overdone by
the professional element as the buying is
by the public.
There are Il few men who rely upon the
public to take stocks from them at high
prices ana then depress them in the hope OF
again regaining ownership. There is Ger
tain influential public interest which usu-
ally comes to the rescue Of such market
and the professional has to make terms
with il I'm order to cover his contracts.
There is now such a situation in process
Of creation. and without regard for values
and eliminating the need OF new material
some rally in prices would seem TO be due
in the near future.
