the Board will inquire into the dis

Manila, Dec. 1.-THE following dis
patch, dated December 10, has been re-
ceived from a. correspondent of the
Associated Press at Laoag, province of
North Ilocos:
Natives at Manitong, province of
North Ilocos, report that Aguinaldo, in
disguise and accompanied by several of
his generals, left Manitong last .Satur-
day with 500 men, going in, the direction
of Salsona,, from which point he in
tended to proceed to Cabugaon, prov

IAN insurgent major, claiming to be
in command of 100 Filipinos, who have
been guarding twenty-three American
prisoners at Cabugaon, surrendered.
He wrote his captains to deliver the
prisoners to General Young
General Young's command is now
divided into six or seven parties, which

CACHE COUNTY PROTEST.
Roberts Mass Meeting Will Be Held
at Logan.
Especial Correspondencel

Logan, Dec. 1.-THE Democrats of
this county will follow the example of
those in other parts of the state and
will make a protest against the action
of congress in refusing to grant B. II.
Roberts his constitutional rights.
Chairman Mathews of the Democratic
county committee was in town to-
day, comforting with prominent mem
bers of the party relative to the mat
ter. All whom he approached express
ed the heartiest sympathy with the
idea.
The meeting will doubtless take
place on Thursday evening, and speak,
ers from Salt Lake will be invited to
be present At the time of Roberts
election there was much opposition to
him here, even within the lines of his
own party. This feeling has died out
and been buried beneath the indigna-
tion felt over the rotten partisanship
which has shown itself in the fight
against him. There are not twenty
Democrats in the entire county. either
Mormon or Gentle. who have not re-
Gently expressed the belief that had
Roberts been Republican, no charges
would have been made against him.
Scores of Republicans. too, are open
in the expression of their disgust over
the matter, and it is quite probable
that many of them win participate in
the protest that will be made. The
call for the meeting will be issued to-
morrow, and measures will be taken to
secure representation from all the pre-
cincts in the county.

MADE BIG DISCOVERY.
Powerful Receiver Found For Mar
conf Wireless Telegraphy.

Pittsburg. Dec. T-Bold researches by
Professor Reginald Fessenden and his as
sistant, Professor iKitner. in the electrical
laboratory of the Western University of
Pennsylvania, have resulted in the pro-
duction of a receiver for wireless tele-
graphy that is 1000 times more sensitive
than the so-called .'Coherer' of the
Marconi systew. In speaking of the dis
covsry today Professor Fessenden said:
Although we have improved the re-
ceiver so that it is 2,oo0 times as sensitive
as the original one. We realize that We
have not yet begun to see the limit. Mar
conf in his brilliant experiments. has
demonstrated that messages can be sent
over ninety miles. AS our receiver is
several hundred times more sensitive, ii
is clear that the messages can be sent by
our method very much farther. though
just what the limit is | would not like TO
say. 1t at least should be possible to send
messages across the Atlantic with poles
less than 200 feet high. The ultimate
distance must be checked by actual ex-
pertinent before it becomes a scientific
fact in the strictest sense

GLEN MILLER'S NERVE
ABUSES LOGAN PEOPLE
M'Kinley Knew All About Charges
Against Smith.
fspecial correspondence.l

Logan, Dec. 17.-Glen Miller's frantic
attempt to save his official head, is
the theme of much discussion in politi-
cal circles, and people wonder at his
temerity in romancing so brazen-
" about the matter. The ac-
count in today's Herald of his
Post interview, was the most as
tonishing statement to which he mas as
yet given utterance, however. When
he says that Orson Smith was active
in the Republican organization here,
and was recommended by members of
IL he talks like an idiot. Orson Smith
had not been active in politics for a
long time before his appointment. and
his appointment, SO far from being ac-
ceptable to the local leaders of the 6.
o. D., nearly wrecked that organization.
Moreover, Smith was considered
good silver man, and TO men like j. A.
McAlister and Robert Murdock and the
others who had been loyal to the party,
his appointment was most obnoxious.
These men today, while they would
take no part in the attempt to oust
Smith, simply laugh at the idea of his
fooling Glen
AS a matter of truth, there are men
in this city, who by personal cores
pondence with President Mckinley,
warned him against naming Mr.. Smith
because of the latter's marital relations.
These men have replies to their letters,
signed by Mr.. Porter. secretary to the
president, acknowledging the receipt of
their communications, and stating that
due weight would be given their pro-
tests. by the president. when he reach
ed the matter referred to. l am pre-
vented from giving the names of these
men, by their expressed desire to have
nothing more to do with the matter
but they are living here all right, and
have in their possession the letters
mentioned.
As to Miller, gentlemen in this city,
opposed to polyg&mists, told him per-
sonally of their objections to Orson
Smith both while they were in Salt
Lake, and while Miller was here. At
the time Smith was named. politicians
on both sides ascribed the action TO
McKinIey's desire to secure favorable
delegation. from this county to the state
convention for the naming of delegates
to the next national convention. Eccle-
siastically. politically and otherwise
Smith had much influence. and TO get
this exerted in favor of a second term
for Mc, wes Glen's evident object. He
may be able to make Mckinley believe
he was fooled in Smith, but he can't
make Smith nor anyone else here see
it that way. They know better.

POSTMASTER GRAHAM TALKS.
Says Administration Knew Nothing
of Polygamy Charges.
(Special ID The Herald.l ]

Provo, Dec. 1.-THE certainty Of the
removal of Postmaster John C. Graham
has resulted in a number of active
candidates coming TO the front with
petitions for support. This list is as
follows:
Jesse McCausland, S. ]. Jones and
A. SaXey. The following are also re-
garded as receptive candidates:
Charles De Noisy, and John Warwick
The Herald correspondent this even
ing interviewed some prominent Re
publicanS of Provo in regard TO the
appointment of Postmaster Graham
and the conditions then considered
at the time of his appointment. On this
list is Colonel c. Z. Loose, who is gen.
orally regarded as the original sponsor
for Graham. Mr.. Loose says he en-
dorsed Graham only as Republican,
and knows nothing about the charges
of polygamy except newspaper report
and current rumory The question
of polygamy, he says, was never

charging Graham with polygamy; he
did not know that Graham was run

marital relations at that time.

that the question was never raised at

ment. And that no protests were
made, nor does he believe that Glen

member of the county Republican
central committee at the time Mr.
Graham's name was presented for the
appointment states that he Mr.
Graham, was unanimously recon-
mended for the position by the commit
tee and not a word was said about his
alleged polygamous relations.
Graham also received the unanimous
recommendation of the Provo City Re-
publican central committee. Those
recommendations were endorsed by
Arthur Brown. Glen Miller and
Lindsay Rogers.
Charles De Noisy, chairman of the
Republican county central committee,
Gentle and receptive candidate for
the poStmastership, endorsed Graham
and worked and fought for him, with
others. He says he has heard that
Graham is polygamist but never
heard of any protest against him on
that ground. He talked with Glen
Miller about the appointment and re-
commended the appointment of Graham
to the Republican boss, Miller. The
question of polygamy was never
raised.
The Herald also interviewed Post
master Graham tonight. He said: ''I

me now. You know 1 deny it, I ran
