The situation at noIIo.

The condition of affairs at Iloilo in
the Philippines remains critical. Aguin-
aldo remains in determined possession
of the city which he seized at the
moment of the Spanish evacuation.
He issued last week a counter proclama-
tion in answer TO that of President Nc
Kinley as promulgated by Gen. Otis. In
this proclamation he claims that he never
promised to submit to American control,
and that the Americans have acted in bad
faith. He further declares that the Ameri-
cans came to grant freedom to the Filipin-
os, not TO establish themselves as masters
of the archipelago. He then calls upon
all the natives to unite to defend their
liberty.
The attitude of the natives is very hos
tile They demand complete indepen-
dance and declare that they will fight rath-
er than concede one point. Troops sent
to lloilo still remain on transports in the
harbOr, and Aguinaldo threatens attack if
attempt is made to land.
The situation at Manila remains quiet

Rev. G. o. Days Lecture On the YER
mont Regiment,

The first lecture in the popular course of
the Young Mems club was gwen Tuesday
evening by Rev. c. O. Day, formerly of
Brattleboro, and a good audience greeted
him. His story of the Vermont regiment
in its experiences at Chickamauga, and on
the trips to and from there, was deeply in
teresting and put matters in somewhat
different light from what had been gener-
ally understood here. His criticisms of all,
from the war department, with its com
plex machinery, down to the individual
soldier. seemed tempered with moderation
and good Judgment The next lecture of
the course is by Rev. r. +. Bisbee of Chico
pee, Mass, upon the subject Reforms and
Reformers" Additional interest is given
this lecture from the interest excited in the
speaker during his campaign as Democratic
candidate for Congress from his district
upon the reform ticket.

CHAPTER Xxx.

AS the carriage vas ascending the
gradual incline of the rugged road
through the woods surrounding the old
mansion, the four occupants agreed
that, to prevent any suspicion Of their
intentions entering the mind Of Kola,
the sergeant and Miss Huntington
were to remain inside the carriage with
the blinds down while Hendricks and
DR.. Lampkin went in. And just before
getting out, when the door was reached,
Hendricks said to the sergeant;
Keep q. good lookout, and if he
should escape us and make a break for
the front, stop him."
"All right" agreed the officer, and he
smiled apologetically at Miss Hunting
ton as he took out a big revolver and
laid it on the seat between them.
Lampldn and Hendricks had their re-
~volvers cooked ready for use in the
pockets Of their oyercoats. 1t had
been agreed that they were to take
Kola by surprise, get him well under
fire and then calmly demand the res
toration of the prisoner.
Going up the steps, Hendricks and
Lampkin found the big front door open,
and as no one came to answer their
ring they were h~esitating as to what
course to pursue when Kola thrust his
cowled head through the curtains and
called out, cheerily:
"Oh, hellol Come right in, gentle
men,"
When they went into the room in
which Kola had entertained them the
night before, they found the windows
darkened and the same dim lights
burning overhead.
II have just got up" said the Indian,
with a smile. "That performance last
night took all the strength out of me.
l hope I'll never have to go through
that sort of thing again to convince
anyone of my ability in that line"
"You won't have to, my boy" replied
the detective. But I want to have a
talk with you"
II know-I know, sit down." and
Kola waved his hand at the lounge on
which he had reclined the preceding
night, but 1t had been moved against
the wall. He sat down in a chair at a
table. Hendricks and Lampkin both
obeyed. The former thrust his hand
into the pocket of his overcoat and
grasped the butt Of his revolver.

WHY HE WAS GREAT
Copyright. 1893
By M. QUAD


1t was in an Illinois village of about
1900 inhabitants, and two or three
strangers were sitting on the hotel
veranda waiting for the supper bell.
Presently a man dressed in working
clothes came along the street and up
The steps. He had just taken the only
vacant chair, when the landlord came
out and said:
"Ah, Mr.. Jones-glad t osee you-very
glad. Will you step in to the bar and
have a nip, and hen let me introduce
you to these gentlemen?"
The man had his nip and his intro
auctions, but he was not a laxative
man, and after resting a few min
utes he rose up and passed down the
street.
Gentlemen, l was glad of a chance
TO introduce you," said the landlord.
Ibid you notice what a head he had
on him?"
at looked to me like a very common
head under a very shabby hat" re-
piled one OF the guests.
Great lands, but how can you say
that! Why, everybody says he's got
the head of a Napoleon on his body.
You just ought to see him with his
Sunday CLOTHES on"
"Are you trying to make us believe
he is some great man?" queried an
other.
"Of course he is" was the emphatic
reply of the landlord. .If you took him
for anything common, you're way
off"
He can't be the governor of the
stated"
"No, he isn't the governor"
Nor a member of congress?"
"No.'
Perhaps he has invented a flying
machine or perpetual motion"
"He is a bigger man than that, sir"
"He don't look like a revivalist, an
orator, an anarchist or an explorer"
Bigger than all them, sir-bigger
than all them" smiled the landlord.
'yThen you'll have to put us on.
Wherein does his greatness lis?"
Gentlemen, Mr.. Jones does not care
for alteration, and if he happens to call
again don't be too ELUSIVE in your
demonstrations. said he was a great
man, and so he is. He is the sole ard
only man for 20 miles around who
can hang a screen-door or file a buck
saw"
The landlord waited three long min
utes for manifestations of applause,
but as none ame, he retired and jingled
the supper bell.

Pasque Island, Sept. 19.-The Clyde

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.

the Aldermen.

City Employees Discuss the Action OF
the Aldermen.
Alderman O'Connell's effort to get the
eightrhour day act before the voters at
the next city election which was turned
down at Monday nights meeting, fur
ished a fruitful subject for conversation
yesterday among all classes Of city en-
ployees
The question of legality of the action
is settled apparently by the wording OF
the act, but it is not so much a legal
as a moral right that is argued by men
who favor bringing the matter before
the voters.
The act in question. chapter 344 of the
acts of 1899, reads as follows:
Section Flight hours shall consti-
tute days work for all laborers.
workmen and mechanics now employ
ed, or who may hereafter be employed,
by on on behalf of any city or town Ill
this commonwealth.
Section 2-All acts and parts Of acts
inconsistent herewith are hereby re-
pealed.
Section 9-This act shall not take eff
feet in any city or town until accepted
by a majority of the voters voting
thereon at an annual election. Such
vote shall be taken by ballot. When SO
accepted this act shall take effect from
the date of such acceptance.
Members of labor organizations claim
that while the adoption of the act would
mean nothing for other than city en-
ployees, still 1t would be a step in the
right direction and that the voters are
entitled to voice in the matter.

SEEK A NAME.
The Supreme Council of Junior Me-
chanics Will Select One.

The 23d annual session of Massachu-
sets junior council. United American
Mechanics, was held yesterday in
knights of Honor hall.
At 1890 o'clock State Councillor J. R.
Graves of Amesbury opened the session
to SO delegates. The important business
for consideration of the delegates was
the changing of the title under which
the meetings of local lodges have been
held since the Junior Mechanics entered
the field Of secret societies, a quarter of
a century ago The Junior Mechanics is
an independent order, although the
name is misleading inasmuch as the or
der is generally believed to be a part
of the o. U. A. NJ
United Americans" was the name
suggested, but it was learned that an
order in Pennsylvania had adopted the
same name, and threatened to bring
encroachers into court. No name was
proposed which met with universal ia
vor among the delegates, and the mat
ter was left for contention at the meet
ing of the supreme council in Detroit,
Mich, next June.
The Junior Mechanics dined at the
Creamerie and the afternoon session
was opened at Las o'clock Reports of
the last annual session held in Grove
land were read, and addresses were
given by the guests of the day, Deputy
National Councillor A. A. Jackson. of
Rhode Island, and Past Councillor Earl
M. Chase of the same state
1t was voted to organize auxiliary So
cieties. The sentiment of all councils in
the country is in favor of the formation
of auxiliary bodies of women. and ac-
ton will be taken by local lodges. At 4
O'Clock nominations for officers were re-
ceived. The election resulted as follows:
State councillor, George E. Russell Of
Lowell; senior vice councillor, Parker

tor, G. r. Rogers of Byfield; warden, S.

A RADICAL CHANGE,
Four Elevens Will Be
Placed In Field
By Yale.
FORTY-FOUR men AT PRACTICE.
andidates viii Be Pro-
NOTED as Their Abil-
ity Develops.

New Haven, CT, Sept. LIT was an
tonight that the Yale foot ball
management will make a radical de-
parture in the methods of developing
an eleven. In the years past it has
been customary to have a so-called uni
versity eleven and a scrub eleven,
known as the college side" to give
the leading candidates for university
eleven practice. The men on either
side have been changed as their playing
warranted.
The plan this year is to run four
elevens every day. This means that
"A players will get into the game daily.
Furthermore, this will permit the play
ers to play an entire half or even an
entire game daily. Heretofore it has
been impossible to give the great squad
of players early in the season more than
a few minutes individual playing.
By the new plan, a system of promo
ton or graduation will be tried with the
players. The leading candidates who
made more or less favorable records
last year and previously, will be sent
into the games tomorrow as first and
second elevens, and as more players
arrive in town and the less experienced
or untlied material comes for practice,
the other two elevens will be tried AS
a player shows skill, he will be pro-
NOTED from the fourth eleven up
ward.
Capt. Mcbride has called out the can
didates who are here for practice on
the freshman diamond tomorrow af-
ternoon, when ex-Capt. Rodgers, But
terworth, Bull, Murphy and Brink
Thorne will be present.
The training table for the score OF
more of players who are in the city
ives started tonight at supper. Man
ager Percy Rockefeller of the Yale foot
ball association tonight announced the
officials for the championship games
with Princeton and Harvard: Pau

and former Annapolis coach, will act
as umpire in both games.

TRYING EVERY POINT,

Sir Thomas Upton Determined to
Know Shamrock Thoroughly,
New York. Sept. 19.-No chance is be-
ing lost by Sir Thomas Upton and
William Fife, the shamrock's designer,
to try the yacht on every point of sail
ing before the final trial against the
Columbia.
Starting at 1142 today, from Scotland
lightship, the Shamrock sailed over a
triangular ten miles each to the first
and second legs and five and a half
miles to the third leg The wind was
light, varying from five to twelve knots
an hour during the race. At 15S the
yacht was off Seabright, on the star
board tack, carrying mainsail, jib, stay
sail and clubtopsail.
The Shamrock rounded the outer
mark at 1.55, and then with sheets eased
to port, she made fast to the finish.
Two minutes after rounding the mark,
the mainsails were taken In, and a big
balloon jibtopsail was set, which made
considerable difference in her speed.
1t was estimated the yacht travelled
during the trip at an average of nine
knots an hour.
