Manila, May as p. m.--The Filipino
ENJOYS, Colonel Arguelezes and Lieutenant
Bernal, have abandoned the pretense UNI
der which they came to General Otis, that
they represented General Luna, and to-
day announced that they came as repre-
sentatives of Aguinaldo himself.
The two emissaries used all their wiles
TO secure reply from Otis to the letter
from Senior Mabini, Aguinaldo's prime
minister and minister OF foreign affairs in
the dctators cabinet, which they pre-
scented to Otis yesterday, but Otis refused
to make any reply on the ground that
to do so would be equivalent to recogni-
ton of the so-called government OF the
Filipinos.
\ Long Conference.
There was conference lasting two
hours today between General Otis and the
ENJOYS. General Otis adhered TO his re-
fusal to recognize the so-called govern
ment of the insurgents. The Filipinos
now ask for a truce of three months to en-
able Aguinado to summon his congress
and consult with the insurgent leaders
on others of the islands. The ENJOYS adj
mitted the contention of General OILS
that Aguinaldo has little control over af-
fairs of the island of Luzon.
The question of the release of Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Filpinos
was mentioned. Colonel Arguelezes, the
chief member of the deputation, said he
considered them as being in the same cate
CORY with the Americans, the United
States being the successor to Spain i'll
dominion over the island and acquiring
by treaty all Spanish rights and obiga
TONS
After the close of the conference with
General Otis the Filipino ENJOYS had a
consultation with the United States Phil
ippine commissioners.
Arguelezes said that Aguinaldo knew
he would be overpowered in time, but that
he would be able to continue the fight for
months and that he would do so unless
he was given what Arguelezes termed
''peace with dignity

Judge Blank was in a reminiscent
mood. "Ah, yes" he said. "Sleigh-
riding in those old days was different
from what it is now. We didn't use a
sleigh, in fact. 1t was usually a bob
sled, or a pair of bob-sleds," he pro-
ceeded, with a wagon-bed for a body,
filled with straw, and we sat down in
the straw, ten or a dozen of us-it
was always even numbers, mind you
and a discreet farm hand for a driver
We didn't care how cold it was. We
bowled along merrily over the coun-
try roads, and if we hadn't sleigh-bells
enough, we used cow bells. Race?
Yes, we used to race sometimes. 1t

SOAP-MAKING IN JAPAN.
SOU1H FORELAND III
HOUSE.

The Domestic Industry Increasing
Rapidly-Wrappers Imported.
The demand for soap increases pro-
portionately with the development OF
society, says the Japan Weekly Times.
The aggregate value of soap consumed
at present in this country is estimated
at about 100000 yen, according to the
original cost fixed by the manufac-
turer. In early times the people de-
pended on foreign supplies, and though
the article was duly manufactured
here, still fictitious label in imitation
of foreign soap had to be affixed to it
ere it could find sale in Japan. Since
have been effected, and the value of
the manufacture has considerably in
creased. At present Japanese soap
rivals the imported article, both in
quantity consumed and in quality.
There are some sixty or seventy soap
manufactures in Tokyo, which supply
the home demand, whose output aggre-
gates in value to some 600, 1000 yen an
nually. Other manufactures in Osaka
and Kobe not only supply the demand
for soap at home, but also export it to
Korea and China. But while, as is evil
dent, we need not any longer depend
for the supply from abroad, in reality
soap is still imported into this country,
though not in large quantities. 1t is
because the ingredients of soap being
always the same, its manufacturing
cost cannot exceed or 5 sen a piece.
This soap is sold in the market at
prices varying from sen to 1 yen or
Py,f prin hov
also to cover the expenditure on wrap
pers and fancy boxes. Perhaps there
is nothing that SO exemplifies the truth
Of the wel1-known adage, "Embellish
your wares for SALE as soap. Custom
ers do not merely buy it for the sake
Of its quality, but they desire it on
of the beautiful designs
printed on the wrapping papers or
boxes Though such designs may be
prepared in our country to some ex-
tent. yet those that cost so sen or yen
apiece cannot be made here. This is
not, however, a fault on the part of
our manufacturers, because their ina
bility to make such designs is entirely
owing to the imperfect state of design
ing and printing industries in our
and it would therefore not pay
our soap manufacturers to prepare
these embellishments for soap under
the existing circumstances. This is the
reason why we are still obliged to de-
pend on the supply Of soap from
abroad, in spite of the prosperity of
our soap manufacturing trade. There
is another question that may be raised
in connection with it. 1t is, why do We
still depend on the foreign supply of
common soap, its manufacture being
20 very easy? Because in foreign coun- |
.ries it can be manufactured at a lower |
cost than here, where we must depend |
On the supply of original material |
rom abroad.

Another Case of Maud.

Maud Muller went on a summer day
To try the old racket of raking hay.
Shed heard how it shared a Judge, and
thought
There might be another to be caught.
And oft she glanced down the lanes long
course
To see if he came on his piebald horse.
But the Judge came not, nor a sleek
court clerk,
Nor a constable to get in his work.
Not even a chronic juror came
To ask her to share his oft-called name.
Yet she raked away with a tireless will.
For Maud was a slayer from Stayerville!
Great blisters rose on her hands SO fair.
And hayseeds lodged in her wind-tossed
hair.
But nary a Judge came riding by.
And her swollen bosom was filled with
sigh.
That mebbe the court hadn't yet ad-
journed.
Or he might have halted to beer his face
With a lawyer who'd got away with
And yet she raked with untiring zeal,
The damp sweat trickling from head to
heel.
The spur-grass pricked at her zebra hose
Meath the southern bounds of her Sun
day clothes.
The breezes blew on her bloomin' cheeks
And scattered the sweat into crfss-cross
streaks
The sun sank lower adown the west,
And the hope-star dittoed in Maudie's
breast
One last glance fired she along the lane.
Then sank on the stubble with moan of
pain!
But she rose again with impromptu
spring,
For the stubble was sharp as hornets
sting!
Then cried, as to splinters she stamped
the rake:
This bayfield, racket's a bloomin' fake!

lists and public plunderers generally
throughout the country. The first shout
of defiant eXultation of his acquittal
has proceeded from the governor of
the commonwealth, who has promptly
appointed him a United States senator
without authority and in violation of
the law and in defiance of the will of
the people as expressed by the votes of
the legislature.
1T is fitting in every way that the
capstone should thus have been put on
the edifice of boss rule and machine
Jobbery by the Quay representative IN
the governors chair. We will thus see
more clearly, it is to be hoped, the recl-
less disregard of right and decency of
public morality and political purity
that characterizes the Quay machine
now intrenched in office in Pennsyl-
vania.
But friends of good government
should not dispair. There are other
indictments to be disposed of still
hanging, over Quay, and whatever may
be their fate, even though it should be
a technical acquittal, the contest
against the degrading forces, practices
and principles which Quay and his
machine represent will be carried on
until justice and right, morality and
honesty shall triumph. The friends of
good government will re-enlist in this
warfare today and must continue IN
remittingly and unfinching the strife
against ill-doing and wrong doors in
any party and in all parties, regardless
of temporary set-backs or defeats, I'M
