THE EVENING SESSION.
An Immense Crowd Witnessed the
Close of The Contest.

1t seemed scarcely possible on We'd
nesday evening that ten more people
could be accommodated in the hall of
representatives, but last nights crowd
must have exceeded its predecessor by
at least a couple of hundred. Compare

The atmosphere was suffocating, the
heat was something terrible. And all
through the long hours Of speech-mak-

Some had barely six inches of space to
stand in, with perspiring humanity of
both sexes all around poking elbows
and knees and fists into their neighbors'
ribs. Others perched on radiators or
chung to the lowered windows or hung
TO the side chandeliers. But they all
seemed to enjoy the spectacle and they
cheered and applauded every speaker
with charming indiscrimination as to
politics or sentiments. And outside an
even greater crowd swarmod in the

Chief Pratt and a squad of officers. A

shrewd Scheme BY Which the Rebels
Are Supplied.

Cincinnati, March 9-Mr. NJ. A. Shoe
maker of this city, author and traveller,
has iusr returned from a years tour,
including India and the Philippines. He
spent the greater part of the month of
January in Manila, where he made a
study of the Filipinos. He says self
government by the Filipinos would be
impossible; that the natives would soon
relapse into savagery. They are, he
says, naturally a treacherous, sus-
picious and a no account race. They
need the iron rule of good government
to keep them at all within the bounds
of civilization The half-caste class in
Manila, corresponding to the mulatto,
are the most intelligent.
Speaking of how the insurgents pro-
cure arms, Mr.. Shoemaker says there

Shanghai consisting of five brothers,

Interest In Ogden.

(By Telephone to The Herald)
Ogden, March 9.-News concerning
the action of the legislature was most
anxiousiy awaited in Ogden tonight.
There was a general feeling of uncer-
tainty. which most often took the form
of a fear that George @. Cannon would
be elected. Republicans, Democrats and
fusionists, almost to a man. united in
the opinion that this would be a great
disaster to the state. and the keenest re-
gret was expressed that he had ever en-
tered the race. 1t was argued that he,
being a Republican. and receiving DEM
ocratic votes, would be taken by the
east as conclusive proof that church
influence was used The loyalty Of
Cannon's supporters was commended
on All sides, and likewise the fealty Of

ARMY AND NAVY CLASH.
Major Grant In Command of a "Tin-
clad" Gunboat.

Washington, March 9.-Some COM
ment has been caused in both the war
and navy departments by the press re-
ports from Manila that the army was
controlling one of the light draught
gunboats captured from the Spaniards
and using it to Shell out the rebels
along the Pasig river.
The reports are that the Laguna de
Bay q small "tinclad'' gunboat, under
command of Major Grant, has been
engaged in this service and has done
very effective work. This has been a
matter of some comment on the navy
department side of the building, and
has been cited by several officers as
another attempt by the army to run
an independent navy department"
The institution of the army transport
system met with the same criticism
from a number of naval officers. The
fact is. however, that this is not new
departure, similar operations having
been carried on during the civil war
under somewhat the same circum-
stances, notably on the Mississippi.

The college baseball team defeated the
Bristol team with a score of % to last
Wednesday. The game was loosely
played, the visitors not being strong
enough to make the college boys play
careful ball. Drake and McCuen were
the battery for the college; Brown, Ma

spite the fact that the college lost five
players last fall and considering that the
team, made largely of new material, has
had no hired coach, as has been custom
airy, the team has done remarkably good
work. In the first of the season two
games were lost, one to Rutland Insti.

The multiplication of telephone con

unmixed blessing. For instance, the

The Citizens band will not organize
this year unless matters of support
change radically from what they were
last year. The boys cannot keep up the
organization without cash for expenses,
so they have determined not to try. 1t

will have to go elsewhere for music this
year.
The horrible worms are making them
selves felt as well as seen these days. 1t
is hardly possible to pass beneath any
number of trees without collecting
several of them. They are "getting on
in size, too; and to meet them swaying
back and forth across the walks, sus-
pended by the almost invisible strand of
web they spin, is anything but pleasant.
The good fight against them still goes
on, and it is a successful one. Their
work cannot wholly be prevented, but that
it is largely reduced is evident, though
there are many more of the pests than a
wear ago.
