TROOPS LANDED UNDER FIRE
Washington Volunteers Cover
Themselves with Glory.
FORCE THE REBEL POSITION.
Col whalleys Command Quickly Drove
the Insurgents from Their Intrench-
ments-PresIdent Mckinley VIII Send
Instructions to Force the Fighting.

Manila, June 1.-TWO battalions of
the Washington troops, under Col.
Whalley, on board canoes, were towed
from Pasig to Morong on Sunday and
landed under cover of a we'll directed
fire from the "tinclad" army gunboats.
Napidan and Covadonga.
The rebels, who were intrenched in
the outskirts of the town, reserved their
fire until the troops were ashore and
in the open. The American artillery
opened fire on the insurgents and
drove them from their position, killing
nine of them and wounding five. The
Washington troops then took the town,
the rebels fleeing to the hills.
While the Americans were on their
way to Morong the insurgents opened
fire from shore battery at Ancona,
their first shot striking the Cavadon-
gas awning aft at a range of $500
yards. The Napidan was also fired at.
Meanwhile, with a view to surround
ing the enemy, Halls brigade, consist
ing of the Second Oregon, battalion
of the Second Wyoming, four troops of
the Fourth cavalry, two battalions of
the Fourth infantry, enc battalion OF
the Ninth infantry, the first COM
panies OF the First Colorado, and two
mountain guns, moved along the crest
of the mountain on the west side of
Manquina.
They swept down the Antipolo val
ley, their object being the rebel town
of Antipolo. They met with stout re-
sistance from Gen. Pho del Pillars
forces, but their heavy skirmish line
carried all before them. This was made
the Fourth infantry.
Their movement was so rapid that
the Filipinos had not time to defend
or destroy Antipolo. It was captured
at $3.50 o'clock in the morning. a
large quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton was seized. No prisoners were
taken, Halls men simply driving the
rebels off in much the same way as a
New York police detachment disperses
a mob.
Pho del Pillars army fled into the
mountains, and it is supposed that they
are now at Bosoboso.
Halls brigade then marched to Tay-
tay, which offered more suitable camp
ing facilities and Joined Truman's de-
tachment.
BY this movement Hall and Truman
had cleaned up the Antipolo and Man
quina valleys, and after they had gone
through there not Filipino was left.
The American loss was only two
killed and nine wounded.

THE FIGHTING TO BE PUSHED.
President and His Advisors Consult Re
garding Manila Campaign.

President and His Advisors Consult Re-
garding Manila Campaign.
Washington, June 6.-When the
news from Manila arrived yesterday
evening of the continuation of fighting
President Mckinley called Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn and Gen. Corbin
into his confidence last night at the
white house to discuss the military sit
uation and prepare advices to Gen.
Otis.
No official reports of the battles have
been received, but several days ago
Gen. Otis notified the president that he
would resume active operations and
expected that Gen. Lawton would
make the movement to clear out the
insurgents to the east of Manila. The
conference last night was therefore to
arrange for future campaigns.
The president and the war depart
ment have been in receipt of dispatches
from Manila in regard to the rainy
season and have been advised that the
prospect is that there will be very lit
tie rain this summer in the islands.
This Is based upon the experience of
last summer, when little rain fell, and
1t is claimed there was practically no
rainy season at all. While there have
been several heavy storms this summer
the precipitation has not been anything
to compare with former years and Gen.
Otis is of the opinion that the cam
paign can go ahead
The conference last night at the
white house was along these lines, and
although there was extreme reticence
among the officials in regard to the
matter it is learned that the president
and his advisers were of the opinion
that military operations could and
would be continued and that active
preparations should be made to collect
the remaining 5000 troops to be sent to
the Philippines to make up the re-
quired quota of 80, 900 asked for by Gen.
Otis.

Thanks to the perseverance and in
dependence of Gov. Roosevelt, the New
York legislature, assembled in special
session. has been able to pass an
amended act for the taxation of public
franchises as real property. The party
machine of the state was originally
hostile to this measure of equity and
true conservatism. but it was forced to
yield to necessity and reluctantly ac-
cepted the Roosevelt amendments to
the Ford bill. The legislature con-
sumed little time in debate. The sem
ate passed the act yesterday by a vote
OF 26 to 20, and the house by vote of
81 to 62.

Columbia, s. c., June 6.-The Supe-
rior court has reversed the decision Of
the lower court in an important case
effecting the dispensary law. The de-
clsion gives a citizen the right to drive
over into North Carolina or across the
bridge at Augusta, Ca, or send his
team over with an agent, buy whisky

Washington, June 6.-No definite in
formation was obtaiIable today as to
the subject of discussion during the
conference at the white house late last
night between the president, Acting
Secretary of War Meiklejohn and Adjt.-
Gen. Corbin. The latter refuses to
refer to the matter in any manner. Mr..
Meiklejohn says the dispatches receiv-
ed referred exclusively to future mill
tary movements which it would be i'm
polite to make public at this time.

Device to Spin Metal.

Cleveland, June 6.-James II. Bev-
ington, a Cleveland inventor, has com
pleted a device for spinning metal
which promises to work important
changes in various lines of metal man
ufacturing. The principle upon which
the discovery Is based is extremely
simple. The metal that is spun is in
tubular form, and is placed in a lathe,
which turns at the rate of 1900 revolu-
tions a minute. In a moments time
the metal becomes hot and softens
from the friction, and can then be
shaped by the operator according to
his wishes.

Woman Bandit Fights.

Phoenix, Ariz., June 6.-The robbers
who held up the Globe and Florence

near Benson. One of them, woman
named Pearl Hart, made a strong
fight. Both were asleep with their
guns beside them. All the money.
about $3.50, three revolvers and a gold
watch taken from passengers of the
stage were recovered. The woman
was the keeper of disreputable house
here for several years. She has been
living in Globe. Her companion is a

Shattered by Dyna mite.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 6.-The store
and residence of Joseph Schenck at
Edwardsville was destroyed by dyna-
mite today and Schenck, his wife and
four children were slightly injured. The
wide wall of the building was blown
out and the force of the explosion
shattered the windows of several ad-

evidently the result of a purpose to
kill the entire family. There is no

Laboring men In this country will no
doubt be interested in some English
labor statistics bearing on cooperative
societies, their number, income and
membership at the end of 1897. Ac-
cording to the data some 1922 societies
were in existence at the time men
toned, and their cont ined membership
amounted to 1,512,12S, and they had an
annual moons of G59,SS1 900, repre-
senting gain in point of membership
of Ill 900 and in sales OF G5,220,00O as
compared with 1896. In view of the
remarkable success Of cooperative So
cieties on the other side of the At
Iantic. IL is somewhat surprising to
note their absolute absence in this
country, where it is reasonable to as
sumo that as much enterprise exists
among workingmen generally as in
Great Britain.
1t would seem from the action of the
Presbyterian general assembly in ses-
sion at Minneapolis as If nothing Is
left for Dr. Arthur Cushman McGif-
fert to do but to modify his views or
retire from the church. While 1t Is
true that the lesser radical of the two
resolutions proposed was adopted and
the whole matter was referred back to
the New York presbytery without in
structions, the whole tenor of the dis
cussion was such as to lead to the be-
lief that the doctor cannot remain in
the church except upon the condition
stated.

Parties, Men and Issues.

With respect to the political out
look for 1900, and the relation Of
the democratic party thereto, it is
to be observed in a general way
that Jordan is hard road to travel,
and that the gearing and appur-
tenances of the democratic cary-all
are not in the best get-up for the
journey, says Henry Watterson.
Issues are never made. They
are born aud grow. The republi-
can party may not be very vir-
tuous party. 1t may be very
hypocritical party. But it is an
all fired smart party. 1t sees an
issue almost as quickly as it sees
an Office, and 1t has way peculiar
to itself of getting at that issue
and that office, and coming off
smooth and smiling, just rs if it
never stole a pig or told lie. The
democrats are either too good, or
too foolish, to profit by deception.
They go smelling round and sniff
fling, and by the time they get
ready to gobble the morsel, it is
gone. They are habitual.y out of
season. Grover Cleveland knew
how to beat the republicans at
their own game, and he did beat
them. He was a jim-dandy for
getting there, and was 10 SLOUGH
at dipping his jack at the oppor-
tune moment. But Grover Cleve.
land is not now in it, and his
successor, William Jennings Bryan,
has failed to catch the idea or get
on to the trick.
IF Mr.. Bryan had been leader,
or even thinker, he would have
seen in the movement of 1906 a
simple skirmish, and at it's close
have set to work preparing for the
battle of 1900. But Mr.. Bryan is
neither leader in the higher sense
nor a thinker. He is an active,
all-round politician of the average
type; resonant and graceful
speaker; withal, most attractive
personality. Governor Atgeld is
both a leader and a thinker, but
Governor Atgeld is an old man
aud unattractive, and. having lost
his deal in 1896. he is past the age,
and need not be considered by any
body any more. Carter Harrison,
an unknown quantity. sits in his
place and in the rocker. Even
Tillman has degenerated AID fallen

the tale. Alas, that he has no

The success of the Lewiston
Mercantile company the first
wholesale house in Lewiston
should encourage other ventures
in the same line. The benefits to
the country and the city as we'll as
to the individual interests should be
considered in this connection. A
wholesale dealer has considerations
from transportation companies
that must materially benefit all
local enterprises. The question of
distributing rates depend entirely
upon the wholesale commercial
interests of the city. The trans
portation companies are forced to
recognize the interests of the whole
sale men of other cities when the
conflict Is between them and bust,
ness men of other classes. If all
branches of mercantile business
were represented in this city by
exclusively wholesale merchants
the control of the business of the
Clearwater basin would be secured
beyond controversy to this natural
distributing point. The hardware
trade of this region is very ex.
tensive at present with n grand
prospect for extension with the
development Of our mining
interests. A Who'll, sale hardware
house as an illustration would
bring great volume of trade t.
this center perforce of transporta,
ton rates that would make com.
petition impossible. The existing
tariffs on transportation lines gives

rate is a voluntary offering and i,
could doubtless be increased by
