"The enemy apparently opened fire
with n Maxim and two 0-poundcrE,

was 40 severe that telegraph wires and
poles were destroyed. Their guns
were posted on kopjc covered with
brush wood, and their sharpshooters
were hidden behind bouldcrs. The
Dublins and volunteers, fighting nm un-
equal battle, thrice drove the enemy
back; but the iiercencss OF the rife FIRE

Tintic Teachers, Assoeiation.

Eureka, Feb. 15.-The Tintic Teach
ers' association met in convention at
Eureka on Saturday, Feb. II, and con-
Quoted the following programme:
Superintendent d. d. Bowen spoke
upon The Responsibility of Teach
er" followed by a beautiful vocal solo
by Mrs. D. D. Bowen, entitled My
Valley Home
Miss Grace Mills ably rendered Rob
ert Burns Tree of Liberty" in good
Scottish style. Mr.. r. H. House sang
an exquisite solo, after which Mr.. A.
NJ. Bowen, teacher at Mammoth, took
up the subject of civil Government"
His paper dealt extensively upon the
necessity of paying more attention TO
civil government in our schools. He
said. as a rule, it was neglected very
much, greatly TO the disgrace of our
present school system. What is more
important" he said, than a person be-
coming a thorough citizen, understand
ing fully the fundamental principles
upon which our republic rests?" He
thought it better to relegate Latin to
the background and teach the child a
knowledge of how the president of the
United States is elected. The paper
was well written and it elected a great
deal Of praise from those present for its
thorOughness.
The association is surely a success.
The next meeting viii be held at Mann
moth on Feb. %.

demands that are being made from
every quarter.
HAWLEY BILL JUST RIGHT.


The bill reported by Senator Hawley
provides only for the absolute needs of
the service, ON lines of efficiency and
economy. 1t was at the instance of
Mr.. Hull prepared under the super
vision of the adjutant general. of the
army, Of General Schwan, Colonel
Carter, Majors Heistan, Johnston, and
Simpson, officers of long service and
high ability. The passage of the
Hawley bill would give promotion to
officers that have earned it by the
hardest kind of frontier and battle
service. Otherwise, our gallant Of
ficers must go without reward beyond
a sense of duty we'll done.
The statement concludes as follows:
The natives of Cuba, Porto Rico, and
the Philippines do not understand our
purposes and ways of government SUI
ficiently to admit of their being made
part of our military establishment to
the extent of organizing them into
companies, battalions, and regiments at
once. Our-officers of greatest exper-
fence with them are of this opinion. In
time this could doubtless be done, but
it viii require education. By degees
a company could be given to a regi-
ment, to be utilized as scouts and
guides; further on a. battalion could
be added and in time, things working
well, regiments could be organized but
it will take time, so much time, that
for the uses of the immediate present
and some time in the future, they could
not be wisely counted as affording any
considerable strength to the service,
however, many might be provided for
by a congressional act. They are a
possible, even probable factor of the
future, but not for the present.

INSANE WOMAN'S DEED.
Mrs. Roukin of Olympia Suicided at
Portland.

Portland, Ore. Feb. ia coroner's
jury today found that Mrs. John Ran
kin, whose death occurred at the I'm
perial hotel last night, committed sui
eide by shooting herself. Mrs. Rankin's
parents are among the most prominent
and respected people of Olympia, and
their home is one Of the finest on Capt.
toll Hill. Her father, \. l. Phillips, was
auditor of ThurstOn county. Washing
ton, for many years and also president
of the First National bank of Olympia.
Mrs. Rankin's husband has for some
time had charge of the department of
timber land of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, with an office in the
headquarters building at Tacoma 1t is
supposed that Mrs. Rankin took her
life while temporarily insane. She had
been in Portland for some time under
the care af a physician, who was treat
ing her for nervousness.

Under suspension of the rules, amend
ments are not in order, so that the
house viii have no opportunity to vote
upon any of the numerous expressions
of future policy with which various
members threatened it. Mr.. Gillette Of
of amendments theT would ask the
house to vote upon in connection with
the appropriation before it was
stricken from the Sundry civil bill, but
they must now vote for or against the
appropriation as reported. When con-
fronted only with the alternative of
voting against the appropriation, it IS
not likely that half a dozen votes VIII
be recorded against it, although a
declaration against the permanent an
neXatiOn of the Philippines would COM
mand well nigh the entire strength OF
the Democratic and Populistic repre-
sentatives, as well as some Republican
votes.

session. and Speaker Reed and the
