KISSED IN PARIS.



NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-Leutenant Stacker
and seven members of the First Tennessee
Volunteers arrived here to-day on the
steamer st. Louis from Southampton on
their way to their homes in Clarksville
Tenn, after having seen some months of
active service in the Philippines. The men
left Manila Oct. Z, and came via Nagasaki
and the Suez canal. The regiment went
home, and was mustered out at San Fran
cisco. The lieutenant and his men decided
to come home via Europe in order to see
the sights. They received the best of
treatment at every port visited except Pa
ris. where they say they were mistaken for
English and Kissed on the streets
1.-The Philippine soldiers fight like HI"
said Lieutenant Stacker. They seem to
have no fear of death, and they do not fear
danger, but their fighting Is not the kind
We expected. They will fight. and then
scatter to fight again. Their mode of war
fare is much like that of the Beers. The
troops, in my opinion, will be chasing Ag-
uinaldo for the next 365 years and never
catch him. But he is simply figure
head. There are others behind him.
Some of the Filipinos in Manila
are friendly. and some there are who
will work for the government and even
give the military authorities information,
hut those in command are never sure but
that the same persons are giving the en-
emy more information. do not think the
Philippines are worth all the loss of life
and trouble they are costing us. When the
dry season sets I'm I think the end of the
present rebellion will be in sight. When
quiet is restored the government will have
then 1t will never be able TO keep all the
natives quiet. General Otis is a good man,
but he Is not liked by the men, who pri-
vately speak Of him as the old woman or
use other equally disrespectful names. He
has done all that he can, but the great
trouble is he tried to do it ALL
In describing their experience, the lieu
tenant said I'VE were quite a curiosity
in Paris. and stared at on the streets and
followed about. We had only to stop on
any street in Paris and the crowd would
block the street. AS long as we kept NOV
ing it was all right. We were mistaken
for English soldiers. and for that reason
attracted considerable attention, and in
sulting comment was made about us For
though we could understand the Kisses.
One crowd found out that we were Amer
leans, and then left us alone"

MANILA, Dec. Q, 6:15 p. m.-General
Gregorio Del Pillar, commanding Aguinal-
dos body guard, was killed by Maj. Peyton
C. March's battalion Of the Thirty-third
Infantry in a fight eighteen miles north
west of Cervantes. Dec. 3.
According to reports which Gen. Young
obtained from escaped Spanish prisoners at
vigan, several days ago. Major March left
the coast, where he was pursuing Aguin-
aldo. and encountered General Del Pillar
on fortified trail. They fought for four
hours, during which time seventy Fill
pinos were killed or wounded. The Amer
lean loss was one man killed and six
wounded The Spaniards report Major
March is still pursuing the insurgents.
Del Pillar was one of the leaders Of the
present and of the anti-Spanish revolu-
ton. He was a mere youth and was re-
ported to have graduated at a European
university. Prof. Schurman met him as
member of the first peace commission and
rated him as remarkably clever.

that the question whether he and his asso-

maintained that the question was settled
affrmatively.

HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT.
1t Causes n Great Sensation I'm Kan
sas City Society Circles.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Dec. "a suit that
will cause a stir in Kansas City's social
circles was filed tonight. DR.. w. S. Woods.
president of the National Bank of Com
merce, is sued for $4,000 damages by his
son-in-law, Arthur Grissom, well known
as writer OF verse and story for Amer
lean magazines. The complainant charges
DR.. Woods with having alienated the af-
fectlons of his daughter, Mrs. Grssom,
from her husband, and on this ground $780,
600 is sought Mr.. Grissom also seeks a
further damage of $4,000 for alleged breach
of contract. He alleges that while living
happily with his wife at Glen Ridge N j.
he gave up valuable interests to change
his residence to Kansas City. at the earn
est solicitation OF his father-in-law, and
upon the latter's promise to allow him
5000 per month as long as the father-in- law
should live. Mr.. Grissom sets forth that
the allowance has never been paid. Mr.
and Mrs. Grissom were married in New
York on May /. 1895.
The marriage in New York was highly
romantic. Miss Woods's erg cement to
young Missouri lawyer had been an
nounced and she had gone with her mother
to New York to buy her trousseau While
there she met Mr.. Grissom, who was a
former schoolmate, and q hasty marriage
followed. Mr.. and Mrs. Grissom have been
separated but few weeks

COURT DECISIONS.



FRANKFORT. KY. Dec. s.-Tbe court of
Appeals this morning announced two de-
cisions which have an important bearing
on the late state election. The first was
ruling making perpetual the writ OF pro-
hibition issued against Judge Toney, OF
Louisville restraining him from interfer-
ing with local elections by writs of man.
damus He was charged by the Democrats
with arbitrarily issuing the writs. The
court stood five to two, Judges Burnham
and Durelle, Republicans, dissenting. Judge
Guffy. Republican, voted with the Demo
Gratis.
The second one was that of Nall against
Tinsley and others, the tissue ballot case
from Ohio county. The opinion was deliv
cred by Judge Paynter and is concurred
in by four of the seven judges of the court.
The court holds: We are OF the opinion
that all ballots should be printed on white
paper. sufficiently thick that the printing
cannot be distinguished from the back, and
If ballo-s are used at an election which
do not substantially comply with the law
the election is not conducted as required
by law and is invalid" The dissenting
judges are Durelle and Burmon, and in
the case Judge Guffy. the third Republican
judge, writes short opinion refusing to
either assent or dissent, because he was
not sitting when the case was argued.
The majority opinion Of the court comes
too late to affect the decision of the state
election commission, sitting as a canvass
ing board, but sets a precedent for the
state contest board to follow when it con-
venes to hear the contests for the minor
state offices.
