GRAND CHANCELLOR MAXWELL
issues Orders Urging the Best Efforts Of K. oil
P's.. the Coming Year.

| Grand Chancellor Maxwell of the
knights of Pythias of Maine, has is
sued the following order:
Brothers: We are about to enter up-
on the duties of new Pythian year.
While the report Of last year did not
show so large an increase in member
snip IN our domain as in many of the
previous years, yet it sustained most
honorable record As the tide GIBBS
and flows so do fraternal organizations
have their periods of prosperity and
depression. The order of knights of
Pythias has been no exception to this
rule. The hard times of several wears
past seemed to eliminate last year, and
to strike our beloved organization with
peculiar force. Today, the situation is
changed; with better business condi-
tons come brighter fraternaI pros
poets. The Pythian skies never seem
ed brighter than they do. today. weak
lodges are being strengthened, strong
lodges are being made stronger. and
the organization, today, never stood
upon more sure and firm foundation
Il is my sincere desire and wish that
the coming year may be complete with
Pythian prosperity and success; that
the Pythian flag, the symbol of friend
ship, charity and bcnevolence. wave
higher than ever before. and that Ply
THAN influence may radiate into every
city, town and hamlet Of our State.
To that end ana purpose | pledge you
my best time and effort. All | ask in
return is that ! may have your earn
est assistance and cooperation: tina t
you will help me to make our beloved
order mighty power for good through
out the length and breadth of our grand
domain. There is an old adage, lit Is |
not what you earn but what you save"
and that principle applies to our organ |
iZatiOn. 1t is not the number your |
lodge takes into the order, but those |
it retains. that makes 1T strong and |
powerful.
1t is my desire during the coming |
Pythian year. that every Knight be a |
missionary. That he eXemplify the |
principles Of our order; that ne be a |
part In the great movement Of friend !
ship. charity and bcnevolence. and in
50 doing the order Of Knights Of Ply
thias viii be recognized by all as one |
Of the greatest and noblest in the elc- |

SET THEM TO FARMING
Aguinaldo Is Keeping the Coun-
try Productive.
A PLOT OF INSURGEN rs
To Burn the Residences OF the Governor
General and tho Archbishop-1t
Failed to Materializs-The Ur-
daneta Recovered.

Manila, Oct. S, 1880 p. m.-Aguinaldo,
according to a report brought to Ma
Mia to-day by a Dominican friar from
the north, has issued orders to the Fill
Pine soldiers in the northern provinces
to return to their towns and to resume
farming. This story lacks confirmation.
but the runor may be in accordance
with Aguinaldo's policy Of keeping the
country as productive as possible, by
using his men in alternate shifts on the
farms or under arms. Dagupan, San
Fernando and Delicnicit, which are UNI
der the guns of the United States war
ships, are supposed to be evacuated. 1t
is alleged that the evacuation orders
calls upon the inhabitants to be orderly
in case of the arrival of the American
troops and expresses the hope that the
Americans will protect the towns.
The archbishop of Manila notified
General Otis that there was a plot on
foot to burn the residences OF the gov
ernor general and the archbishop, to-
gether with several buildings and
banks, but the plot failed to material
lie. possibly because of display OF
force.
The first reports regarding the affair
at Paranaque last night appear to have
been much exaggerated.
The facts are that a small band OF
insurgents, following the bay road,
poured a volley into the village ana
later another into Los Pinos, with the
result that two or three houses were
burned, The cracking of the bamboo
caused it to be reported in Manila that
there had been much shooting.
The United States transport Warren,
from San Francisco with 1900 recruits,

The United States gunboat Wheeling,

Highest Number of Votes Entities Candi-
date to the Office.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Oct. 5.-Among the laws passed
by the last legislature was one known
as senate bill 50. which required that
the names of the candidates for school
trustees must be posted in the district
a stated time before being voted con. A
case has arisen in Beayerhead, county
wherein the candidate whose name was
not posted received the, highest number
of votes. The matter was referred TO
the county attorney, who held that, re-
gardless Of the new law, the man who
received the highest number Of votes is,
under the constitution, entitled to the
office.
The state superintendent decided to the
contrary, and the case was referred to
Attorney General Nolan for an opinion.
He decided to-day that the party who re-
ceived the highest number of votes was
elected. The bill passed by the last Leg
islature was simply a safeguard thrown
around the manner of conducting the
election, but the legislature cannot de-
prive man of the constitutional privilege
to receive an Office when he receives the
highest number of votes.
1t is understood that n number of SIM
liar cases have arisen in other counties
since the enactment Of the law. Unless
the courts decide otherwise, the opinion
will have to be followed in all districts
that are in the same predicament as was
that Of Beaverhead county.

SITUATION, UNCHANGED.
Strong Efforts Arc Being Made to Preserve
Peace.

London. Oct 6-While there is no
diminution in the flood of dispatches
from South Africa recording with al
most tireseme iteration the mill
f., taTX, preparations and movements of
both sides, with all kinds of accurate
and inaccurate rumors and speculation,
the real situation remains unchanged.
1t is evident that strong efforts are still

1t is expected that 5000 reserves will
be called OH tomorrow and that an
army corps will be modified on the

meantime it is interesting to note that
neither side shows any anxiety to pre-

to give opportunity for the play of
peace influences.

BURNED At THE WHARF
E!eainer Leona Sunk in the East
River.
SOME NARROW ESCAPES
Firemen Worked Like Heroes and Sew
eral Came Very Near Losing
Their L!ves-Her Second
Experience.

New York. Oct. 5.-The Mallory
steamer Leona was burned and sunk
at her wharf in East river tonight.
The cargo, consisting of tobacco and
S,ooo bales of cotton, and valued at
S25o,000 to 100000, is total loss and the
boat is little better than wreck.
1t Is believed that the Leona, which
sailed from Galveston Sept. 81 caught
fire at sea several days ago, since
which time she has proceeded at full
speed, with battened matches, for this
port. At $3.50 this afternoon the Leona
came racing up East river to her pier,
where haste was made to debark the
passengers ana. open the matches. An
hour later an army of men were VAIN
ly fighting a fire in the steamers hold.
Finally the ship was scuttled. As soon
as the Leona made fast to her pier,
about 4 o'clock, the officers Of the yes
sci, commanded by Captain Wilder, or
dered the members Of the crew to try
calling the fire department. This was
soon found to be impossible and an
alarm was sent in. By $50 10 streams
were playing from fire engines and six
streams from fireboats.
At o'clock, when about 70 firemen,
with the cnleE ana deputy CnieI, We're
on the boat working, the fire was found
to be beyond the efforts of the fire
men and an order was given to open
the fore and aft port holes in order to
allow the water to make her settle.
When the ship showed evidence of list
ing to the starboard most of the fire
men left the ship by sliding down
hose which was fastened to the wheel.
About half a dozen men who were
on the starpoard side of the boat were
unable to get to the pier and kept right
on working as IL nothing was happen
ing to endanger their lives. The ship
settled steadily and when she finally
went down the men We're thrown into
the water. Deputy Chief Duane and
Fireman Thomas Mcfarland of engine
No. u had to battle for their lives and
were rescued with difficulty. Duane
was dragged out more dead than alive.
Several of the fireboats engaged in the
work of rescuing the firemen were near
~ carried down by the sinking Of the
Leona.
A somewhat similar experience befell
the Leona in May, 1898, at which time
Is steerage passengers were burned to
death
During the war with Spain the Leona
was used as United States transport.
