Who Did the Guessing ?

It's now pretty generally conceded
even by the supporters of the admin
istration's Philippine war policy thai
there has been some very poor guess
ing done as to the outcome of the
military operations in the island o1
Luzon. The New York Tribune, a
few days ago. had an editorial OF
this guessing from which we clip the
following paragraph:
"The course of events IN the Phil
ippines has not met expectations
encouraged by outgiviDgs that pur-
ported to come from the war depart
meut. One cannot tell whether the
optimistic dispatches announcing a
near surrender of the insurgents as
the result of negotiations were in
spired by some hopeful soul in the
department or having the run of it,
or by the conciliatory Professor
Schurman, VINO is now returning
from service on the commission. 1t
does not yet appear that his hopeful
predictions have been answered by
facts But Washington has its
champion optimist also. Whether it
was somebody in the war department
or some too sanguine reporter of the
press, eagerly interpreting a wink as
a victory aud nod assthe end of the
campaign. the elaborate tactical de
scriptions of movents in progress,
which never resulted at all as Wash
lngton expected, gave the public the
impression that Gen. Otis did not
often guess very well Later events
have indicated that it was not Gen.
Otis who guessed wrong,'
Somebody besides Gen Otis. il
seems, according to the Tribune, did
the poor guessing, but didn't Gen.
Otis report that he could finish up
the business there with $4,000 effect
i've troops Some other military
gentleman guessed differently fol
they have expressed the opinion that
it would take a good many more than
that, and they seem to have done
better guessing for more troops are
to be sent. The fact is there has
been too much guessing all along
which suggest the inquiry, how much
confidence can people have in mer
who have proved such poor guessers
and prophets ?-Wilmington Star

UNIQUE CRIME
OCCURSIN GEORGIA
Farmer 81. Smith, Who Kill.
ed Judge Bell, Lynched.

Gainesville, Ga July l5-A mob
of about 80 men surrounded the
county Jail early this morning and by
a clever ruse tricked the sheriff into
admitting them into the Jail, after
which FIVE of them went to the cell

W. B Bell of Atlanta, and shot him
to death, riddliDg his body with
bullets and spatteripg his blood on
the cell walls.
The mob pretended to be sheriff 8
possee from Gwinnett county with
a prisoner, whom they wanted to
lodge in the Hall county jail for safe
keeping. The leader of the mob
said he was the sheriff of Gwiunett,
and the uususpectipg sheriff Of Hall
county, W. B. Munday, admitted the
men.
After their bloody work the mob
quickly dispersed. The governor
will be asked to offer a reward for
the capture of the men composing
the mob. There is great indignation
among the people here that such a
crime was committed.
Smith was asleep when the mob
entered. Without warning or
arousing him. one of the mob
deliberately leveled his pistol at the
heart eff the victim. The men open
ed fire on the prisoner, and when they
ceased firing the victims body had
been riddled with bullets
The sheriff said the leader of the
mob was about so years of age and
the others all young meo, all we'll

BROOKLYN TROLLEY
STRIKE HAS BEGUN.
CASUS BELLI is THE TEN
HOUR DAY AT TWO
DOLLARS.

New Yolk, July l6.-Another
trolley strike is on in Brooklyo. So
far it has not been as effective as the
strike of 1895. but there is no telling
how long OF far reaching it may
become. For some weeks past the
employees of the several lines con
trolled by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company have been com
planning that the management did not
live up to the ten hour law. The
men demand revision of the time
tables at the different barns and also
CLAIM that they should be paid 20
cents an hour for over time, which is
equivalent to 81 a day. the price
which they set for working day of
ten hours
Meetings have been held daily and
nightly for the last week, and it was
inferred from the reports given out
by the employees and their advisers
since Thursday last that. while q
strike was imminent, it would not
occur for some days to come. Gen.
eral Master Workman Parsons and
District Master Workman Pines had
charge of the mems affairs ana \
strike-was called at half past 4 this
morning At this hour most of the
motormen and conductors on the
Brooklyn Traction company's lines
had completed their night trips and
the leaders decided that this was the
most opportuue moment to begin
what was expected to be stubborn
fight With the traction company A
heavy rain storm was in progress at
this time, and there was very little
passenger traffic The Smith street,
Franklin avenue and Hamilton ferry
lines, which are controlled by the
Coney Island Railroad company, hav-
ing maintained the regular terms
with their employers, were Dot
impeded in the least. but on all ether
roads transportation was stopped for
while, and good deal of conges-
ton occurred III consequence
Shortly after midnight about 1000
policemen from the precincts in
Manhattan and the Bronx districs
were conveyed to the different barns
and many were placed along the
several routes comprising the terri
tory covered by the Brooklyn Trac
ticn company Up to half past Z
o'clock there were very few cars run
over these lines, and those that were
sent out from the different barns
were policed by two, three and fonr
constables.

THE PLAN OF ARBITRATION.
can Scheme VIII BE Adopted by
the Peace Congress.

Washington, June 5.-According TO
official dispatches received at the state
department from the American delega-
ton at The Hague, there Is every rea-
son to believe that the American plan
of arbitration. with perhaps some modi-
fications. will be adopted by the peace
conference. This probably will be the
only result Of the conference. The au-
thorities understand that hope Of stop
ping further armament by means Of
action at The Hague has been
abandoned and that the dele
gates have also given up their
belief that the conference will agree
to propositions for ameliorating the
hardships Of war. Even the amend.
ment of the treaty of Paris of 1856 re-
garding the protection of private prop
erty at sea is believed to stand little
chance of adoption. 1t is, therefore,
likely that the one result of the con-
ference will be a treaty under which
the several participating nations will
be able, il they desire to do So. to sub
nit their disputes TO IN arbitration
tribunal, to be formed as contemplated
by the American plan.
