War With the FllllplnOs.

Last Saturday night the lnsurgent

soon the battle spread all along the

Americans were victorious everywhere

NO STRIKES THERE.

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune cables his paper the fol-
lowing. suggested by the present street
railway troubles in this country:
The street car strike in New York
enables English advocates of municipal
tramways to derive satisfaction from
the thought that their own undertake
ings have been singularly free from
similar labor struggles. In Glasgow the
municipality began. to operate tram
ways five years ago, because drivers
and conductors were badly treated by
private companies The experiment
has succeeded in every respect, but the
most noticeable feature is the content
ment and orderly conduct of the men
employed in the service. Their wages
have been increased and their hours
shortened, and no complaints are heard
of bad treatment. The tramways COM
mitCee of the council is now considering
a schedule for increasing the wages of
nearly every one on the force by about
asshilling a week. This action is taken
without pressure from the men. The
drivers and conductors of the Glasgow
tramways have no trades union and
are practically unorganized. The town
council has dealt justly with them, and
the men have no grievances.

NAY CAUSE RATE WAR.
Wabash Railroad Cutting the Time
Out of Z. G. to Chicago

Kansas City, July 29.-The Wabash
railroad is in the field as a competitor
for Chicago passenger traffic with a SER
faster than that regularly afforded by
and Chicago. The Wabash makes the
journey to Chicago in 133z hours while
the other lines are running on 151s hour
schedules under an agreement. The
Wabash train which leaves here at 6:15
p. m. daily, connects at Springfield
Junction, H., at 2 a. m. with the Chi
cago & Alton express from St. Louis
for Chicago. This train reaches Chi
cago at 8 a. M, while the trains on the
other Kansas City roads do not arrive
until about $50. The distance over the
new Chicago line is 4S5 miles and there
is only five minutes delay in making
connections at Springfield Junction.
The new Wabash service will prob
ably result in faster passenger service
between Kansas City and Chicago. At
least two roads can make the run in less
than twelve hours, but under an agree
ment the schedule is fixed at fifteen and
a half hours. The Santa F'e has cover
ed the distance in fewer than eleven
hours, but it is feared that regular fast
in a slashing of rates by the roads that
can not make equally fast time. Kansas
City should have and eventually will
secure a twelve hour passenger service
to Chicago. The Santa F'e does it three
times a weeks with its California flyer,
but it solcitS no local business out of
Kansas City. It is forbidden to do so
by competing lines under a threat to
cut rates.

POSTAL LOSING MONEY.
According to Their Answers Bust
ness In Kansas Is Not Profitable.

David Overmyer, as attorney for the
Postal Telegraph company, has filed
answers in the district court to the
suits against the telegraph company in
which judgments have been rendered
under the telegraph rate law and which
have just been transcribed from the
Justices court.
The answers are similar to the petit
tons fled in the telegraph injunction
cases. They deny many of the allega-
tons set forth on the petitions, and al
lege that the telegraph rate law is
cOnfiscatory and unconstitutional and
that the kilograms which were offered
for transmission, which were made the
causes of action in the suit, were not
offered in good faith. The Postal COM
pany claims that the total receipts from
its Kansas business in 1898 amounted
to S4,275.96 which, it says. was less
than the cost of handling the business.

NEW EXPLOSIVE
Tested at Sandy Hook Proven to Be
Satisfactory

Washington, July 29.-The report of the
board of ordnance and fortifications of
tests recently made at Sandy Hook has
been made public by the war department
One of the tests was the firing of an
Isham shell containing 113 pounds of ex-
plosive gelatine from a Pinch gun, with
AIS pounds of powder, the shell Weighing
1,1O8 pounds loaded. No fuse en-
ployed, as it was desired to test the abil-
ity of the loaded shell not only to endure
with safety the shock of discharge, but
also the shock of impact. The result
was most satisfactory. These shells are
now to be tested against armor plate
The board witnessed a firing test of the

The board at the same time tested the

it is stated, has proven both safe and re-
liable.

prepared a programme to subject thorite
to a final test in order to fully establish
its value The report is signed by Gen

were called to a vacant house way out

empty house and had a good stock of
provisions. He was taken to the city
prison in the patrol wagon. Even the
cells in the Jail were too clean for him
and he was locked up in the cellar and
half a dozen police assembled in the
room over him and planned his execu-
ton.
I'VE had better hang him. said one.
mo, drown him. said another.
Tar and feathers would be none too
good was another remark.
The tramp, in the room underneath,
could hear every word.
Lets break in and get him. said
one.
The crowd got a large hammer and
went down to the back door of the Jail
and commenced to hammer.
In the mean time the jaiIer went to
the front door and let the tramp out,
warning him to run as fast as he could
so he would not be caught. The last the
police ever saw of him he was making
about ten miles an hour down Jackson
street. He has never been back

Western Union Messengers Again Go

Philadelphia, July 2s.-The Western

demands at that time, superintendent
Gill induced them to return that same
day and present any grievances. This
they did but towards last midnight they
evidently grew impatient and about %
stopped work.
While delivering messages at the
newspaper offices some of the boys
learned that an advertisement had been
inserted in the papers for 200 boys. The
strike was at once declared on again.
Today all the boys in the main office
went out and Hnemen and clerks were
pressed into service. BY noon the boys
mounted on bicycles had visited all the

than on Thursday have Joined the
strikers. The company is delivering
messages with little delay.
