Chaplain of the Twentieth Kansas
Regiment Gives His Opinion of
the Filipinos.

MARYVILLE, NO., Nov. Rev. Father
P. o. Russell who was a volunteer chap
lain of the reserve hospital Of the Amer
lean troops in the Philippines and returned
to the United States with the Twentieth
Kansas regiment. is visiting here. Father
Russell says he believes the Fiipinos are
not capable of self-government.
IF you treat them kindly" he says, they
think you are afraid of them. There is only
one thing that this government can, in my
opinion, honorably do, and that is to put
them down by armed force and hold the
islands. l think that within three months
Aguinaldos following will be annihilated
and the war ended"
Father Russell was in the Philippines
eight months During sixteen months pre-
ceding he travelled through India, China and
Africa and he has travelled extensively in
America, but he declares that the Philip
pines is the richest country he has ever Wis
tied.

INSURGENTS SHORT OF MUNITIONS.
Escaped Spanish OHicer Reports Fill

pinOs Are Out of Cartridges.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Mail advices to
the War department indicate important ne
gotiations in the Mohammedan section of
the islands outside of Sulu Through the
efforts of X. Engleskjon, a gentleman of
Norwegian birth who enjoys the confidence
of the Tagalos, overtures of peace have
been made to General Otis. Mindanao is
almost equal in area to Luzon. The Mo"
hammedans there number 100000, and the
Spanish maintained little more than normal
sovereignty.
Thirty of these chiefs held a conference
with Mr.. Engleskjon and drew up a form
of treaty proposing terms OF peace. They
have sufferol greatly from the inroads of
the Moros and offer to submit to the author
ity of the United States on condition that
sufficient American garrisons be established
in the island to protect them. These pro-
posals were submitted to General Otis, but
what action has been taken is not known.
An escaped Spanish officer from north of
Manila has arrived from Angeles. He con-
firms the report that the insurgents are
running short OF ammunition and are unable
to refill cartridges OF this class.
He says, however. that they are we'll
supplied with Remington ammunition, which
they manufacture for themselves They
petroleum and salt. which is shipped to
them from Manila and taken into their
lines at night.
OF the fourteen American prisoners held
by the insurgents at Tarlac the insurgents
claim that four have accepted commissions
in the insurgent army. Two Scotchmen
named Mckinley and Mcintosh have es-
capped from the rebels. They say the in
surgents claim to have $50 American pris-
oners scattered through the various towns,
but they know OF none personally excepting
Lieutenant Gilmore and fourteen sailors
The insurgents say they have two Ameri-
can officers in confinement besides Lieuten-
ant Gilmore.
Colonel Smith has sent to General Mac
Arthur placard in Spanish which was
found nailed to tree outside the line. 1t
was an appeal to the colored troops to join
the insurgents in the fight for freedom.

Travellers Organize a Movement to

Indianapolis. Ind, July e.-It was given

ganize this state along with others for
the purpose of forcing the national ad-
minfstration through Attorney General
Griggs to take action against the growth
of trusts, which have thrown out of en-
ployment %, 900 commercial travellers.
In the event of nothing being done in
that direction it is proposed to inaugurate
a movement aaginst the denomination of
Mckinley next year. The travelling men
refuse to unmask their plan until they
have obtained a membership of $4,000,
which they believe can be accomplished
in a few months. The Indianan men say
the movement started a. -Des Moines two
weeks ago and that the Iowa club already
has 700 members.
Men are now said to be at work at Chi
cago organizing the Illinois branch and
will start the movement in Indiana next
week It is asserted that inside of an
other month organizers will be at work in
a dozen states. The organization is ex-
pected to be secret for fear of retaliatory
action of the big trusts.

as a boarder, and in short time, accord
ing to the evidence before the justice,
a strong intimacy grew up between
them. One day Sheeler disappeared,
and with him went the bicycle and the
musical instrument.
When Sheeler took the stand he said
under oath that he noticed that his wife
thought more of GrOnzki than she did
of him, and he one day gave the Ger
man a beating. This did not remedy
the matter, and so he decided he could
no longer live with his family and he
made a deal with GrOnzki that he
would give his wife and children to him
if he would give the bicycle and &C
Gordon to the injured husband. Ac-
cOrding to Shelters testimony this was
done and that was how the defendant
happened t. be in the possession OF the
articles alleged to be stolen.
When the German and Mrs. Sheeler
were put upon their oaths they admit
ted that the story was correct, and it
was shown that in addition to SheeIer
turning over his wife and children to
GrOnzki, he had also included his house
hold goods and other articles. After
all the evidence was in the parties met
in the rear office and the case was set
tied SheeIer agreed to give back the
articles he received from GrOnzl1i, and
the latter turned over the formers wife
and children and furniture.

MAKING AUTOMOBILES.
America Will Soon Leave All Other
Countries Behind.

New York, July 6.-America has led
the world for years in the manufacture
Of bicycles and it now bids fair to
achieve a like distinction in the con-
struction of automobile carriages.
A recent order received on this side
of the water from a company composed
largely Of French capital and native
Frenchmen for a large number of We
hicles for the European market would
seem to indicate that even the French
men appreciate the superiority of the
American machines. This country has
taken all that is good in French ideas
Of automobile construction said one
Of the foremost manufacturers from the
west today at the Waldorf, land has
improved on them. The company Of
which I am a member and which was
formed for the purpose of selling and
renting automobiles in Europe, has in
vestigated all patterns Of vehicles in the
three countries where the use of the
wagons has attained its greatest pro-
portions. The American vehicles are
built as well as those built in France or
England, and at considerable less cost.
In some minor details French carriages
are preferable; in other ways the Amer
lean is superior. Consequently, I am
placing all orders for vehicles in this
country
This gentleman believes the greatest
field for automobile manufacturers at
present is Europe. In this country"
said he, "the leisure class, and the
prOpelling vehicle, is not so large in
proportion to the rest of the population
as in Europe. It is a common thing
for owners of automobiles to use them
constantly for touring. The roads here,
except in the neighborhood of the large
cities, are not SO well adapted to this
form of recreation as those abroad.
Electricity, while in some respects pre-
ferab1e as a motive power, has the dis
advantage that charging stations are
required at intervals of 20 or 80 miles,
Besides, an electric vehicle must be
much heavier, because of the weight Of
the battery, which is generally over l.
600 pounds. The carriages propelled by
steam or gasoline motors are mich
lighter, and less expensive. The kind
building for US will sell for about $780,
There are 20 or more factories, capital
lied at S4G0, 600, 900, now building auto
mobiles in this country. Indications are
that the automobile industry is likely
to eclipse in magnitude any line Amer
lea has ever gone into.

They We're advertised as four per cent
bonds and the premium offered at that
rate was unheard of in Kansas. Splitter
