Manila, July S.-The trial at Ca
banatuan of the slayers of General
Luna, the Filipino leader, who was as
sassinated by the guard of Aguinaldo' )
residence, is ended. The accused were
acquitted on the ground of self defense.
The testimony showed there was con-
spiracy on the part Of Luna and other
officers to kill Aguinaldo and make
Luna dictator. Luna's death seems
to have strengthened Aguinaldo' 3
leadership for the time. Lunas sup
porters are now outwardly loyal to

introduced bill which is regarded as
the thin end Of the wedge of con-
scription and as likely to render the
government unpopular. Lord Lans-
downe said he did not favor conscrip-

such a bill should be in readiness if
wanted, and that "the country should
realize how it stands with regard to
this question" Already the Liberal
papers are attacking the government
and asking what need there is of such
a measure unless CONSUMPTION is In
tended. Looking to the fact that re-
cruiting is dwindling, the bill will be
regarded with great suspicion.

Great Railroads Will Not Consolidate

Great Railroads VIII Not Consolidate
Philadelphia, July S.-A prominent
official close to President A. ]. Cassatt,
of the Pennsylvania railroad, denied
the published statement that the Penn
sylvania and the New York Central
railroads had entered compact by
which the two systems had practically
become one. To repo .er he said:
"The story is too absurd to receive any
consideration. There has never been
any thought of consolidating the two
systems. The statement is simply a re-
hash of story published some time
ago. The New York Central is prac-
tically family railroad owned by the
Vanderbilts, while there are 10000
stockholders in the Pennsylvania rail-
road"

AMONG the contributions to the
Laurel sufferers from the recent
fire, was check from ]. Edward
Addicks for $500. Whether the
motive which prompted the contri-
button was really charitable is
matter of dispute. The check was
received, however, and appropriated
by the committee, the members 60
ing on the principle that the money
is good, no matter whence it came
or who sent it. By acts Of some
what similar character, Addicks
has managed to keep his name be-
fore the people OF our State and re-
tain the support of number of
politicians. He may not be actual
ed entirely by sinister motives, but
parties can draw their own conclu-
sions. 1t is good to contribute,
however. to worthy cause, and
there is no telling what fruit may
result therefrom, and it seems that
Addicks is willing to make the ex-
pertinent.
Whether the act will arouse
greater opposition to his aspirations
or mollify the feelings heretofore
engendered, is problem that time
alone can solve. Other aspirants
for Office should try similar expert
ment.
