House 900 Guests.

New York. Jan. 9.-Mrs. Astor's an
nual ball, which took place tonight in
her home on Fifth avenue, was marked
by the dignity which characterizes all
her entertainments. Never has the
house appeared more beautiful with it's
rare decorations, paintings and draper
les and marble. Palms and plants, etc,
with profusion, added to the general
effect Mrs. Astor's house adjoins that
of her son. Colonel John Jacob Astor,
and the two houses We're thrown togeth-

ed at small tables after midnight and
was followed by the cotillion. Many
of the guests attended the opera and on
that account We're late in arriving
There were two orehestras. Mrs. Astor,
looking in better health than usual, re-
ceived her guests, who numbered more
than 300, in the main salon. She was
assisted by her daughter Mrs. Orme

NATURE OF THE FILIPINOS.
Spanish Priest from Manila Says They
Are Not Naturally Wnrlike.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-Father Diaz.
leader of the ten Spanish priests from
Manila who are in this city on the way
to Panama, says: The Fiipinos are
not naturally warlike and would not
now bd opposing the United States We're
it not for the leaders who are spurring
them on. These leaders are in the work
solely for personal gain and would
prove hard masters for the weaker por-
ton of the natives should they gain the
power. At Iloilo, where l was station
ed, there would have been little fight
ing if it had not been for these malcon-
tents, who fairly forced the natives to
take up arms. Most of these men who
are at the head of the insurgent move
ment are half-breeds. Aguinaldo Is a.
crafty fellow and has a following
among those people who hope to climb
by his advancement. / do not consider
Aguinaldo personally responsible for all
the brutality shown our Friars.' Faith
er Fernandez states that he considers
the natives of the islands a civilized
people.

THE CARRINGTON PUBLISHING %
GARDNER DETEITS SULLITAN.
Three Terrific Blows Within Ten Sec
onds Did the Job.

New York, Jan. 9.-The fight between
Oscar Gardner of Omaha and Dave Sui
livan of Ireland before the Lenox Ath-
letic club tonight ended disastrously
for the latter in the seventeenth round.
Sullivan seemed full Of fight when the
seventeenth round began and went
right at his man. In a clinch the legs
of both boxers became entangled and
Sullivan fell to the floor The moment
he got up Gardner planted two fearful
right-hand swings on Dawes head and
put the Irishman down and out with a
wild left-hand swing which landed flush
on Sullvan's mouth. All three of the
blows were delivered within ten seconds
and the last one sent Sullivan into the
land of nod for the first time in his ring
career. Gardner's legs were in any
thing but good shape and despite Sui
livan's efforts to make him use them,
the Kid refused to be coaxed into
sprinting and saved himself for the SUI
preme effort when the time arrived
Gardner waited frequently for Sullivan
to go to him, and would either lead or
get inside of Sullivan's leads and coun-
ter hard. These tactics puzzled Sulli-
van and at times he seemed ratified.
Sullivan was beaten fairly and squarely
and there We're no excuses made when
the bout was over.

sighted by steamer American, Jnn. 4,
1850 Miles From Needles.

New York, Jan. 9.--At the office of
the American line to-day it was said
that no uneasiness was felt as to the
safety of the overdue liner st. Paul.
The st. Paul has probably been hinder
ed by head winds and high seas. There
was a possibility, however, that she
might have been delayed by broken ma
chinery. Late this afternoon Superin-
tendent Wright Of the American line
gave out the following:
"The, following information comes by
cable: Steamer American saw the St.
Paul on Wednesday, January 4, at p.
M, in latitude 49.43, longitude 80, dur
ing a heavy snow storia, The position
given is 1850 miles from the Needles
hours from the Needles and had aver
aged over twelve and one-half knots.
Either the st. Paul or in her place the
New York will maintain the regular
sailing from New York on Wednes-
day"
The American, which Is reported as
having spoken the St !2anl is probably
the British steamer American, which
left New orleans for Liverpool Decem-
Der %. Going at the rate of speed at
which she was going when sighted, the
st. Paul would probably reach port on
Wednesday, There are on the ST. Paul

ed into it. The engines We're piled up
in a mass of scrap iron and the cars
which were badly broken up, immedi-
ately took fire The passengers who
We're not injured at once set to work

SH1RKEY IND M'COY
Profess to be Ready and Enger for Their
Contest,

New York, Jan. 9.-Sharkey and Nc
Coy both profess to be ready and eager
for the contest in the LenoX Athletic
club house tomorrow night, when they
will battle for a $4,000 purse. They
completed their training to-day and are
as fit as human hands can make them.
Each is very confident of victory.
Among the bettors the bulk of the
money is being placed on Mccoy. The
bettors argue that McCoy's cleverness
will carry him safely over every mine
that Sharkey may plant For him. Tom
my Ryan of Syracuse came to town
ot-day and boxed three rounds with
Sharkey Sharkey did not find much
difficulty in getting to Ryan. II think
Sharkey will win" Ryan said later,
but Mccoy will outpoint him in the
early stages of the contest. The Sailor
has the weight, and think he will wear
the Kid down and probably knock him
out before the twentieth round"

Letter OF Regret to Democratic Club of
Maine. .

Portland, Me-, Jan. 9--The first an
nual banquet of the Democratic club Of
Maine occurred at the Prebyl house to-
night. The speakers devoted them
selves entirely to the question of ex-
pansion, arguing against the policy of
the administration. Silver was not
mentioned during the evening. Letters
of regret were read from Colonel w. J.
Bryan, ex-President Cleveland ex-
Senator David B. Hill and others. Colo
mel Bryan said: II regret that other ar
rangements will prevent an acceptance
of your invitation to celebrate Jack
sons day with your club Am gratified
to note the increasing interest felt by
the people of the northeast in demo-
cratic principles as set forth in the plat
form adopted in 1896 Our party has
been redeemed from the control of the
money changers and is once more in
line with the teachings of Jefferson and
Jackson, while the republican party is
becoming more and more the defender
of corporate greed and the tool of mo-
nopoly. In its espousal of a colonial
policy the republican party simply
gives open evidence of its growing ten
dency to place the dollar above the
man in the structure of society. Our
lives are formed from ideals Demo-
Gratis arr, trying to initiate Jefferson in
his devotion to the doctrine of equality
before the law and Jackson in his cour-
ageous defense of the rights of the
masses. The republicans are turning
from Lincolns idea of a government Of
the people, by the people and for the
people to Hamiltons idea of a govern
ment by the well born, administered for
The exclusive benefit of those who en-
Joy special privileges"

Il BURGLARY IN ANSONI.A.
Woman Duped to Leave House while
Thief RansaclSs 1t.

Ansonia, Jan. "a daring burglary
Occurred here this afternoon when the
boarding house kept by William Con-
molly on Clifton avenue was entered
and money, jewelry and clothing az
gregating $500 was taken. 1t was the
work of a clever brace of thieves and
a unique method was adopted. Shortly
after o'clock Mrs. Connolly, who was
alone in the house responded to knock
on the door and she was accosted by q
stranger who enquired where certain
family lived. Mrs. Connolly endenvred
to tell him, but the stranger apparently
had difficulty in comprehending the di-
rections, and finally he asked Mrs. Com
molly if she would accompany him to
the crest of the hill, which was but O
short distance, to more definitely point
out the place. The man was Of such Z
pleasing address and had such suave
manner that Mrs. Connolly in her desire
to accommodate him went to the crest
of the hill and after the house had been
pointed out the stranger engaged her
in conversation for few moments and
then thanking her for her courtesy con-
tinued on his way. In the meantime
the accomplice had entered the house
by rear door and thoroughly ram
sacked the place and when Mrs. Con-
molly returned after her brief absence
she found everything in the widest dis
order and a hasty examination disclos-
ed the fact that money, clothes watch
es and jewelry and other articles were
missing and the loss was over $500.

NEW FORK POISONING CASE.
Indications That Some Important
Movement is in Contemplation.

Ah"ic"sAohs h"t some important
Movement is in Contemplation.
New York, Jan. 1.-TWO persons are
now suspected by the police of having
some connection with the Barnet and
Cornish poisoning cases. From indicn-
tions at police headquarters yesterday
it seemed probable that come important
movement was in contemplation but
whether or not arrests will be made to-
day or tomorrow remains to be seen.
Captain McClusky Of the detective bu-
reau yesterday gave w. J. Kinsler, the
handwriting expert, some additional
letters and envelopes. Mr.. Kinsler said
he hoped to be able to make a report
to-day. Some of the letters given to Mr.
Kinsler were written by a person who
is suspected to almost as great an ex-
tent as is a man who has been men
toned in connection with the case. Mr..
Kinsler refused to say whether this
suspect was a man or woman, but
he admitted that among the specimens
of this suspects handwriting were some
envelopes addressed to Harry Cornish.
There is still some uncertainty as to
whether the body of Barnet will be
exhumed for the purpose of ascertain
ing if it contains traces of cyanide Of
mercury.

TrOub1e-AlR RumOrs In Circu-
latiOn-Americnn Authorities Taking
Every Precaution.


Manila, Jan. 9.-The situation is rap
idly approaching a climax, and it is
just possible that Tomorrow will see a
peaceful solution. Meanwhile all sorts
of alarmist rumors are in circulation.
ing every precaution, the troops in
quarters are under arms and the Cali
fornians have disembarked from the
transport. The natives have been or
dered not to work for the Americans,
and the employees in the commissary de-
partment have gone on strike. Many
natives are leaving the city. Major
General Otis, however, has the whole
situation thoroughly in hand.
A second proclamation by Aguinaldo,
bearing the same date as the one which
Immediately followed the proclamation
Of Major General Otis, based upon
President McKinley's instructions, first
appeared on the streets to-day, but 1t is
alleged to have been recalled. It's
terms are much more vehement than
those used in the first proclamation.
Aguinaldo threatens to drive the Amer
leans from the islands, calls the Deity
to witness that their blood will be on
their own heads if it is shed, and details
at greater length the promises he ella ms
were made by the Americans as to the
part of the insurgents in the campaign.
1t is believed that this second procla-
nation is the original draft which was
not adopted by the Filipino congress at
Malolos.
