Copper Rise Plays Havoc.

BIRMINGHAM, England, April 26.-
The enormous rise in price of copper
is playing havoc with leading indus
tries in the Midlands. At Kynochs
patches of hundreds of men have been
discharged since thu rise in the price
of the metal began, and now, instead
of 1000 men, only 1000 are at work
there. The government has decided
not to give anv more orders for cart
ridge shells while present prices pre-
vail, and orders have been issued
stopping all the work possible.

THE BATTLE OF
CALUMPIT
Aguinaldo's Army De-
fends the Place Ener-
getieally.

MANIL, April 26.-Aguinaldo's army
today is defending Calumpit energeti-
cally, which is said to indicate that
the rebels are finally making that
place the last ditch or stand. which
the Americans expected them to make
at Malolos.
For the first time the Filipinos are
employing artillery. They brought
two guns into action in the trenches
today before Calumpit, firing modern
shrapnel, which burst over the heads
of General Wheaton's brigadeswithout
effect.
The fighting was resumed at 6
o'clock this morning. During the
night the engineers repaired Bag bag
bridge, thus enabling our troops to
cross the river. General Wheaton's
brigade advanced in extended order
with the Kansas regiment to the west
of the railroad and the Montana to the
east of it, and took up a position cover
ing one and one half miles on the
south bank of the Rio Grnade. On
the opposlLe bank were fortified
trenches from which q few American
soldiers would have been able to defy
thousands so strongly were they con-
structed. The Americans found the
trenches on the south oank of the
river deserted, which furnished the
men with cover from which they
could pick off the Filipinos Whenever
one of them showed his head.
When the rebels began firing. two
puffs of smoke simultaneously from
the trenches on each side of the rail-
road track showed they were using
cannons, which was genuine surprise
burst close to General Wheaton 8
staff, but it seemed the Filipinos failed
to master the machinery of the modern
SHELLS, and they were unable to get
the right range.
Young's Utah battery was ordered
into position in the center of the Kan
sas regiment to silence the rebel guns,
and at II O. clock the rapid fire guns
had been ferried across the river and
came into line.
At noon the rebels were still pour
ing heavy fire in che direction of the
Americans, who returned it spiritedly.
Two Americans were killed and seven
wounded.
At about this time General aale's
brigade was advancing east of the
line, apparently to cross the river and
attack the rebel trenches in the flank
as did the Americans yesterday.
Lawton is meeting with the great
set obstacles in the character of the
country. His troops have only had
few skirmishes thus far, resulting in
five of his men being wounded. But
he has been forced to put his men at
work building roads, and the trans
port service is giving much. trouble,
bullocks dying of Eeat and exhaustion,
and Cinnamon having to be employed
in pulling some of the carts. There

The natives fee before the expedi-
tion, but they swarm back to their
houses as soon as the American troops
have passed. A few Filipino sharp
shooters are harassing the American
flanks.

Some of Mathew S. Quay's chickens
are liable to come home to roost when
congress convenes next winter. Gov
ernor Stone,of Pennsylvania, has been
foolish enough to appoint Quay as
senator, the legislature having ad.
journed without electing. When the
question of seating Mr.. Corbett, ap-
pointed by Governor Lord under
similar circumstances, came up in the
senate, Quay voted against the
measure. Now he has a similar case
on his hands, and he cannot expect the
senate to go back on its record.

that Mrs Ryan had worked eontinu-

at this point.
Both attorneys made strong argu-
ments. John r. Thayar asked that the
petition be refused on the ground that
gross and confirmed drunkenness had
not been proved. 1t is no longer posi-
BILE to prove hopeless drunkenness, he
claimed, by proving four or five par

States cavalry left Worcester at S.4o
o'clock yesterday afternoon over the

Oklahoma. The party will go to Fort
Sill, where the Sixth cavalry is at pres

of Herbert B. Abbott of Worcester, and
each man was given Sc by Lieut.. Roy
den to purchase rations en- route.
Several of the men were accompanied
to the station by their relatives, and
in one or two cases by their sweet
hearts, who followed them from the re-
cruiting office in the Walker building
to the railway station, and there their
tears mingled and many promises of
undying love and affection passed be-
tween the young lovers
Ten men hi the party were from Wor-
cester. eighteen from Providence, and
two from Fall River. The Providence
and Fall River recruits came to Wor-
cester shortly after o'clock, and as

building, and marched from there to
Union station.
James Thompson, former member
Of Co. L, Sixth Massachusetts reg1-
insnt, was in charge of the car as por-

probably selected to care for the spe-

mel last night. The car will go to
Fort Sill via the Fitchburg and the
