Aeonc:l,o's secIusion In Paris.

Agoncillo, the Filipino repre-
sentative in Paris, who calls him

republic" :" lives in one OF the most
secluded spots in the city and
seems to do all he can to breed an
atmosphere Of mystery and reserve
about himself and his presence.
He occupies two musty little rooms
in an old fashioned hotel, neither
much larger than a drygoods box,
and there lie stays. smokes and
dictates all day to his amanuensls.
AgonciIlio, who speaks the most
atrocions French, is very proud OF
his acquision of typewriter and
refers to his use of it frequently in
his conversation. Paris evidently
pleases him and he dresses from
head to foot like modern French
man. In talking with his visitors
he seems as much interested in
them as they in him; he shows
them the photographs of Filipino
friends and officials hanging on
the dingy wall and makes himself
affable in every way possible. But
he finally lets you understand that
he is anxious to get back to his
typewriter, and, after asking, with
much laughter, whether or not you
are an "imperialist, he calls
dumpy little Filipino boy, who
shows you out-Paris Letter

PREPARING TO FIGHT.
Beers Believe That British Notes Are For
Purpose OF Gaining Time.

London, Sept. ga special dispatch
from Pretoria says that the members of
the volksraad, believing that the British
notes are intended to gain time for the
concentration of troops, urge the govern
ment to adjourn the raad Immediately
and to send Great Britain a note declar-
ing that further mobilization will be re-
garded as an unfriendly act.
Trenches, earthworks and sandbag de-
lenses are being erected in all available
approaches to the capital.
1t Is reported from Pretoria that Com
mandant General Joubert reckons on 49,
quo Transvaal troops, 10000 from the
Orange Free State, 5000 from Cape Col
ony, 1000 from Natal, and 5000 Holland
ers, Germans and other volunteers.
Seven hundred and fifty men of the
Leicestershire regiment, $50 of the Royal
Dublin fusiliers, 200 mounted infantry
and the Eighteenth hussars have ar
rived at Dundee, Natal, from Lady
Smith. These troops will form a new
camp at Glencoe, their places being filed
by others from India.
The movement was executed so smart
ly and unexpectedly that the Boer spies
were unaware Of it until it was actually
accomplished.

in Boston Sunday evening as III. w.
Hayley of West Concord, N. H. and
who was found dead in his room with his
throat cut, was DR.. Herman w. Hayley,

sity, and a member of the faculty. DR..
Hayley had been spending a portion of
his vacation at the home OF his mother
in West Concord, N. H., and returned to
this city last week to prepare for the
opening of the college. On Saturday he
met Professor Nicholson, secretary of
the college faculty, and to him expressed
the fear that he would some time be-
come insane. Professor Nicholson adj
vised him to see a specialist, and DR..
Hayley left Middletown Saturday af-
ternoon for Boston. DR.. Hayley was
about 35 years of age. He was noted as
brilliant scholar, a successful in
structor and very popular with the stu
dents. He had published a number Of

door was connected, and sallying forth
with a shotgun, fired four times at the
nocturnal providers. Maurara. after
running short distance, dropped dead.
He was shot through the right lung.
while the entire right side of his body
was peppered with shot. His COM

than twice her length. AS the screws
churned up the water the wake made a.
great wave of boiling green water which
rushed towards a center with the force
Of tidal rip the foamy tops meeting In
miniature cataracts. With this remark
ably close radius of action the inclina-
ton Of the craft was scarcely three de-
grees. The other picture was during the
homeward run, when, with huge bone
in her teeth" the forward deck was
bathed in clouds Of spray.
The day was perfect overhead and in
the air, except that on the run back the
wind freshened and the speed fell quite
noticeably. This was due to an acct
dent. Shortly before the ship turned the
stake boat on the homeward run a hot
water feed tube burst, letting cold water
into the boilers, running the steam down,
thus decreasing the revolutions of the
propelers eight turns per minute.
Captain William Folger, who will COM
mand the Kearsarge after the trial ex-
pressed his admiration of the Kearsarge
and her performance, saying he was con-
WINGED that with a trained crew she Is
good for 171a knots. He further praised
her as being very stable boat and a.
magnificent platform.
Rear Admiral Rodgers said that the
board were united in satisfaction with
the vessel. For himself, he said she
was stiff and strong, and the greatest
addition to the navy. He thought the
run was remarkable, and would wait
for her final figures as to her speed abil-
tiles.
Captain Evans said the Kearsarge was
fine boat, and one that in speed COM
pared with the Iowa. 1t could not be
expected, Captain Evans said, that with
the difference in horse power and dis
placement, that the Kearsarge would
go as fast as the Iowa, but he was sure
that she was equal to II knots.
Other officers were equally well dis
posed in their comments on the ships
performance.

respectively, were burned to death on
Thursday. Fire was seen in their home at
about II o'clock by three young men who
were passing at the time, and although
they made heroic dash into the burn

had been carried to the street, and the

on the first floor and Mr.. Buckley in

Taunton, Mass, Sept. 26.-John Nor
ton, IS years of age, died suddenly at
the Bristol county fair, Immediately af-
ter he had been struck in the head by
a companion. James McClusky and
James Collier have been placed under
arrest by the police, pending the au-
topsy by the medical examiner. The
blow was the result Of quarrel, and, ac-
cording to witnesses, it was delivered by
McClusky. Collier, McClusky and Nor
ton had spent the day at the county
fair, and during the afternoon all of
them, it Is claimed, took several drinks
of liquor. So far as can be learned, the
three men have, in the past, been friends,
and it is believed that whatever hap
pened at the fair grounds was the result
Of their drinking.

Trial Trip of the Kiersarge.

Boston, Sept. 26.-The United States
battleshp Kearsarge, on her official
speed trial over the Cape Ann course
yesterday, averaged 1854 knots an hour
On the outward run Of 80 knots she
averaged 1882 knots with smooth sea
and wind abeam. On the return she
averaged 1857 knots against a head wind.
The contract requirement was 16 knots.
The trial was successful in every par
ticular.
The run over the famous Cape Ann
course, in short, came up to the expecta-
lions Of the Kearsarge's builders-the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock company-and delighted the Of
fetal representatives Of the government
beyond measure. Greater interest, 1t
may be said, centered in the trial Of this
battleship Of honored and historic name
than in any previous trial runs of our
line of battle craft. There were many
reasons for this, chief of which was the
desire to compare the Kearsarge type
with the Indiana and Iowa classes, both
Of which so remarkably proved their
worth in the recent war.
The new battleship with her sister
ship, the Kentucky, now nearing cog-
pletion, descriptively, Is distinguished
by super-imposed turrets, called Samp-
son turrets, after Rear Admiral Samp-
son, who stands sponsor for them. These
turrets carry 13-inch guns in the lower
and S-inch in the upper barbettes, and
the main and secondary batteries con-
stitute the heaviest armament of any
ship in the world. Again the new bat
tleship differs from the Indiana type in
having two masts instead of one, and
likewise much additional ponderous ma
chinery
On her speed trial she carried four
piiGe and two docking keels, the Iowa
alone being presented in this shape for
her trial run, and 1t Is to the credit Of the
Kearsarge that her relative speed, with
500 horse power less, and $50 tons greater
displacement, was approximately equal
to that of the Iowa, although the latter
on her trial made 1902 for an average.
The Kearsarge and Kentucky, while
nominally 16-knot craft, will probably
be spoken of in naval circles as of the
II knots, based, no doubt, on her per-
| iOlIIdHCe Will green crew, ana, as the
builders say under economical condi-
tons. The latter important fact has
| interviewed through the abolition by our
| government Of payment of bonus for an
extra quarter knot or greater over the
contract. Besides, the Newport News
company, being certain of reaching the
required 16 knots, had the glory alone of
adding to that figure. AS to the sta
bility-determined by her performance
in sea way, and as a gun platform-that
Is to be proven later, but on the word of
Rear Admiral Rodgers. president of the
board of inspection and survey, she is
remarkably stiff, and fine boat in every
respect
In the course Of the run two remark
ably fine marine pictures were pre-
scented, aside from the one of this mass
of steel being forged through the water
at great speed. The most impressive of
these was when, after crossing the finish
line, the ships helm was put hard over,
and around she went in a circle, the
diameter of which was scarcely more
