1ABoR1,s RETURN TO COURT.
Doctors Oppose His Going To-day-To-
morrow or wednesday Likely.


Rennes Aug. 20.-The Associated
Press correspondent to-day called upon
Maitre Labor, who lives within 200
yards of General Mercier, the houses of
both being guarded by gendarmes and
detectives, who sit in chairs in the
roadway in front of the houses. Maitre
Labori was taking the air in the gar
den. He has been suffering severely
from insomnia, and to-day was fever
ish and excited. The wound itself has
not made the progress the doctors
hoped for, although there has been no
relapse In view of his general condi-
ton his medical advisers oppose his 60
ing to court tomorrow, as he had de-
sired. They predict that the exertion
would so overtax his strength as to
compel him to take to his bed, which
he probably would not leave in that
event for a month. Tuesday and We'd
nesday, therefore, will more probably
see his temperance in court He will
be provided with a specially constructed
chair that will enable him to conduct
the cross examination at the outset
without rising from his seat. Maitre
Labor is intensely anxious to return to
court. even if he has to be carried there
in an ambulance. He is dissatisfied
with Maitre Demange's conduct of the
case thus far and, on his return he in
tends to have General Mercier and the
other generals back upon the witness
stand After reading their evidence he
is confident Of his ability to crush Mer-
cier, and he expects to use the Schneid-
er and Panizzardi telegrame also to
confound Mercier.

Said to Favor Self Government for the
Filfpinos.

London, Aug, 21-The Naples corre-
spondent of the Daily News telegraphs
the substance of an interview he had
with Admiral Dewey there during the
admiral's recent visit. Admiral Dewey
said he believed the Philippine question
could shortly be solved. In his judg-
ment the inhabitants were capable of
self government and the only way to
settle The insurrection and to insure
prosperity was to concede it to them.
He declared that he was never in favor
of violence toward the Filipinos, and
remarked that, after autonomy had
been conceded, annexation might be
talked Of. When asked whether a con-
flict between Germany and the United
States over the Philippines was possi-
BILE, Admiral Dewey replied, according
to the correspondent: 1T is impossibie
to foresee the unforseeable."

Cars of Freight

Kansas City, Aug. 20-The first actual
hostile move in the boycott on the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad
was made yesterday, when the Missouri
Pacific railroad refused to deliver four
cars of freight which were billed to the
GuiI road. The boycott is not TO go into
effect until August 20 and this action is
taken to mean that the roads fighting
the Pittsburg and Gulf intend to force
the issue. No action has been taken by

Att O'Clock rhis Morning.

Ht O'CLOCK tnls MORNING.
1 a. m.-~Up to the present hour fifty
six persons have been reported injured
including several policemen. No one
SO far as known, was injured by fire
arms. Nearly all were hurt by being
crushed or troddal under foot. A
body of rioters who had taken refuge
in the court yard Of the Care de l. Es1
were expelled by the police, who made
twenty-five arrests. Shortly after mid
night noisy crowds began demonstrate
ing in the Rue de Chabrol, but they
were soon dispersed by the police.
10000 People ON street.
2 a. m.-Besides ST. Joseph's church
two cafes were attacked. AT a late
hour 10000 people We're in the Boule-
ward de Magenta, which runs past the
end of the Rue de Chabrol. They were
kept constantly moving by the repub-
lican guards, who made a remarkable
display of force. Large bodies of police
were constantly operating in and
around the Rue de Chabrol, and large
force was held in readiness at the near
est barracks. In the collisions between
the anarchists and Guerintes the scuf-
of the republican guards charged the
contestants, several persons being in
jured Fifty or sixty policemen were
seen striking wildly at every person
within reach of the Boulevard de Ma
genta. A lad was knocked down while
trying to rise and policeman literally
jumping over him. According to some
accounts, paving stones were torn up
and used as missiles.
In the Avenue de Taillebourg there
was a fierce conflict. The police had to
draw their swords against the anarch-
lists, who assailed them with stones
Four policemen were wounded, two so
seriously that they had to be taken to
the hospital.
A lamentable feature of the affair is
that it will be regarded as a pro-Drey-
fus demonstration and react greatly to
the detriment of the verdict in the
case. The government liberation in
the Guerin case and desire to avoid
bloodshed has been misinterpreted with
the worst results 1t appears that the
anarchist demonstration was decided
upon at a meeting held Saturday night.
$50 Persons Injured.
a. m.-The prefecture of police
gives the following statistics of yester-
days riots: Three hundred and eighty
persons were injured. Three hundred
and sixty We're taken to the Lariboisere
and st, Louis hospitals Fifty-nine po-
lice agents were wounded besides Com
missaires Coulter and Domsmone. One
hundred and fifty persons were arrest
ed of whom eighty are detained in
custody.

philippine Com m missioner to Meet tho

Chicago. Aug. 20.-Jacob Gould
Schurman, United States commissioner
to the Philippines, arrived IN Chicago
to-day from the islands of which ne
has Just completed a six months study
at the instance Of President Mckinley.
He left tonight for his home in Ithaca,
N. Y, and will report to the president
as soon as a meeting can be arranged.
In an interview he said: $50 far as the
results Of my official negotiations with
the representatives Of Aguinaldo or 9TH
er Filipino officials are concerned l
am not at liberty to talk of them till l
have made my report to the president
Concerning the islands in general, how
ever, there is much to be told. In my
opinion the rebellion, the last OF which
we are trying to suppress, was due IN
the first place to several causes, the
principal of which were the tyranny OF
some Of the religious orders the exer-
else of arbitrary power by the governor
generals and the delay and corruption of
justice.
1.-THE leaders Of the rebellion tell their
followers the most astounding tales OF
the Americans and the common people
believe that the priests under American
rule would subject them to the same
tyranny That the American army kill
ed priests or otherwise maltreated the
church or church property is, I believe,
utterly without foundation. Aguinaldo
is believed in the islands to be honest,
and I think he is acting honestly in
money matters, but whether from moral
or political reasons l would not say.
While do not care to discuss the real
motives behind the rebellion at this time
will say that If 1t We're suppressed
there would be many prominent native
officials out of an occupation" Mr..
Schurman declined to answer the ques-
ton whether he had been the subject Of
any anti-imperialist communications,
saying that on that question or any
which touched it even Indirectly he
would not speak. He also declined to
give an opinion on the length of time
it would take to suppress the rebellion.
When asked If hes considered the reten-
ton Of the Philippines good policy on
the part of this country, Mr.. Schurman
eaid that the resources of the islands
were great, but that he must decline to
commit himself on the subject of maxi
ing them a part Of this country.

Delagoa Bay-No Ultimatum from

Cape Town, Aug. 20.-The Transvaal
government, 1t is reported here, has
handed it's reply to the British agent
at Pretoria, to be forwarded to Sir AL
fred Miner, British high commissioner
for South Africa and governor of Cape
Colony. Conflicting accounts are given
as to its contents and it Is possible that
the report is premature and that the
reply will be delayed, owing to trouble
with Portugal about the transporta-
ton of ammunition, consigned to the
Transvaal, now in Delagoa bay.
Strong feeling has been aroused here
by the fact that the Transvaal is send
ing large quantities of war material for
distribution among it's supporters in
Cape Colony and the Orange Free State.
Over seven tons have been landed at
Port Elizabeth on Algoa bay and sent
over Cape Railway lines to Aliwal north
for distribution. The Cape Colony
governhent complains that it could
not prevent their transport to a friend
ly state and that if permission had
been refused, the supplies would have
been sent to Delagoa bay 1t is proba-
BILE that the matter will now be re-
ferred to the imperial government.

THAT INCREASE OF SALARIES

We trust we will be pardoned if we suggest that instead of in crcasing the salaries of our city officials, as proposed at the last meeting of the city council, it might be more to the public in- terest to cconomize along that line and donate say $500 toward the erection of a school house for the Mena school district.
 We know that Mayor elect Hamilton, as president of the school board, has exhausted every means to try and find some way to get money for the erection of a school house without being able to accomplish his desire; and we believe that the people would give unanimous consent to let the off cials serve them for the same sala- res now paid, and donate a cer- tain amount this year toward building a school house.
 Such a measure would surely meet with as hearty an approval among the people as the donation of a Sl, 900 to the county to help build a court house, and would be fully as useful and beneficial to the city.
 This proposition cannot be con sidered as being in any way un- just or unfair toward the officers recently elected, as they certainly sought after and worked for their nomination and election with the expectation of serving the people for the same salaries or fees now allowed by law. To insinuate or suggest otherwise would be to question their honor and integrity, and that we will not do. Mena is a young and growing city, with a good reputation abroad, and it is an honor to serve such city in an official capacity, and surely there is as much local patriotism in the officers just elected as in those about to retire from office.
 And Mena needs school house.

 One of the worst features con- nected with the war in the Phil ippnes is the reported fact that when prisoners are taken by the American soldiers, and they have no way of caring for or keeping them, they are shot. If this is true it is savagely barbarous, even if it is done by American soldiers.

THE GREAT AND THE SMALL.

What big city can do on big scale, small city ought to be able to do in similar line on a smaller scale. Kansas City, by uniting the forces of her pro- gressive liberal men, has built convention hall that is at once the pride of her people and credit to the place, and Ill ad- dition has raised over S12,0OO ot a fund to establish free public baths. These objects have been attained partly by contributions and partly by giving public enter tainments, at which local talent gave their services and the peo- pie their money.
 These facts remind Us that 1t is possible that combined effort on the part of our liberal minded people would result in securing a fund to assist in the erection of a much needed school house, ready for occupancy by next fall, and before any tax can be collect ed for the purpose of building school houses. Let us counsel together and see what can be done in this line and then go to work and do 1t.
