his recent return from the East. 1t is
gratifying to know that the consolidation

comfortable equipment, the answer has
been that the line is not making money

improvements until some indefinite date in

their intention Of placing the lines ac-

branches will be put in good condition as
soon as possible. Again We say, Seattle
is to be congratulated.

TRYING TO GET MORE FUNDS.


NEW YORK, Dec. Alt Is expected that
a petition will be made by attorneys claim
Ing to represent a large number Of deposit
ors who were caught In the Franklin syn
dictate crash to Judge Thomas, of the
United States court, enjoining Postmaster
Wilson, OF Brooklyn, from returning to the
senders the mass Of letters supposed to
contain q large amount Of funds received
in his office since the collapse of the syn
dictate, and held there by means OF fraud
order from the government, prohibiting the
delivery Of mail to Miller's concern.
The motion will be based on an affidavit
giving the gist of an interview with Post
master Wilson, in which he Is said to have
set the value of the money-bearing letters
now in the possession of postoffice de-
partment at from $4,000 to 100000. with an
average OF $4,000 coming In each day.

Franklin syndicate, and therefore entitled

In all tina annals of "blufiing." wheth-
er written Of soldiers lighting In foreign
lands. of indian scouts or of poker
players. there is no such record as that
made by Lieut.. Monroe. OF the Fourth
cavalry.
Monroe II was who bluffed Canon. the
Filipino general. commander at Bayam-
bong, into surrendering his entire force
to rldicnlously small party Of Ameri-
, cans. The gallant lieutenant's country
men ell laughed when they read that he
had tapped the rebel telegraph wires,
and summoned the Filipinos to surren-
der, under penalty Of immediate attack
by large force. Such was the fear In
spired by the vigorous language OF the
American ofiicer that the blum was suc-
cessful. and Lieut.. Monroe. with his
escort" OF nifty men. received as pris-
oriers 800 men and officers OF the insur-
gents. with all their arms and muni-
tions Of war, and set free two Ameri-
cans and seventy Spanish prisoners.
The foregoing exploit IL certainly en-
titled to first place. Even the sublime
nerve Of the ensign who used the tele-
phone to negotiate the surrender OF
Ponce must Yield to the achievement of
Monroe.
After all. there Is lesson in the sur
render Of Bayambong. 1t shows that
the Tllipinos win eagerly submit to
American arms rather than take the
risk of any kind Of battle, no matter
how great are the numerical odds in
their favor. Their punishment has been
severe when they have tried to stand
before the impetuous warriors OF the
Western world, and they know full well
that defeat and destruction await them
n they risk battle. There is little
doubt that q troop Of cavalry could go
anywhere is Luzon without meeting re-
sistance worthy the name. 1t may be
that Lieut.. Monroe was In earnest when
he announced to the terrified Gen.
Canon that the Americans would at
once proceed to attack with q superior
force"
American soldiers are made Of stern
fighting stun. From the days when Col.
Forsythe and band of fifty-four scouts
held at bay a thousand hostiles under
Roman Nose on little island in Col
orado: from the days OF Custer. and the
Modoc and Bannock wars, to the cam
paign against the Filipinos, the fighting
men Of the United States have shown
the highest type of skill In warfare. sup
plemented by magnificent courage. Gen.
Canon knew something of this lighting
quality of the Americans, and ne dared
not face the superior force" COM
manded by Lieut.. Monroe.
Somewhat akin to the "blufiing'' and
fighting qualities found in American
troops was the spirit shown by that
Frenchman who defended q church
against an army Of the enemy. After
the attacking party had suffered many
casualties, its commander agreed that
the garrison" should march out with
the honors of war. To his amazement
the grizzled veteran who conducted the
negotiations came forth from his fort
alone, staggering beneath the score of
guns with which he had maintained his
forlorn defense.
Verify, the "bluff" is an important
factor in war.
