A Hostile Bullet in Its Barrel.

At the worlds fair there were exhib-
tied from Tennessee two bullets which
had met each other in midair, and also
a Misunderstanding Springfield rifle into
the barrel of which rebel bullet had
found its way. This remarkable cir
cumstance was duplicated at the battle
of Caloocan, an insurgent bullet having
passed the whole interior length of the
rife in the hands Of Private Stuteville,
Of the Abilene company, in the Twen-
tieth Kansas. Stuteville had Just fired
his piece and still had it at his shout
der when the insurgent bullet passed
in at it's muzzle. The bullet proceeded
the whole length of the barrel break
ing the breechloek and forcing the
empty cartridge shell into the upper
part of its chamber. Gen. Otis heard
of the occurrence and sent for the rifle,
which he intends to send to the war de-
partment as a curio.

A NAME WANTED.
Australia Is Trying to Find q Suit
able One for Her New
Capital.

The correspondence columns of the
Australian papers are teeming with
novel and original suggestions for the
style and title of the federal capital of
the early future. ''Cooktown" is pro-
posed as a posthumous compliment to
Capt. Cook, the Columbus of the Aus
tralian seas. ''Ophir," the Biblical gold
en- city" is also considered appropriate,
as gold is a principal Australian prod
uct. Augusta" the name of the first
known settlement on the site of Lon
don, is regarded by one correspondent
as capital symbol for "a noble, ma
jestic, imperial city," says the London
Chronicle.
Alexandria, Guelph, Southern Cross,
AustralopoHs, Australburgh, Victoria
Regina, Atlantis, Federal City, Queen
Victoria City, Fedora Southminster and
Britannia are a few of the titles culled
from considerable variety of epis-
tolary samples. An admirer of the pre-
mier of the parent colony recommends
ReldvllIe. Perhaps the most sensible
suggestion is that of IAN Australian
Girl, who would leave the selection of
the title of the federal capital to the
queen. Her majesty has not been asked
to play this role of godmother since
she bestowed the name of New West
minister upon the first capital of British
Columbia, then an independent colony,
now the most western province of the
Canadian dominion. The present capt.
tai of British Columbia bears the queen's
own name, Victoria.

The voting was twenty-one in favor
against one opposed. The muster was left

who will facilitate the preparation of cop
les for Governor General Brooke.
Seniors Villalon and Hevia arrived from

A report embodying the substance of Sc

and Hevia both expressed themselves as
convinced that it would be impossible to
get another cent from the United States,
or an American authorization to make 4
loan, and it was equally hopeless to nego-
tate the loan proposed.
Strangely enough, this recital of the ex-
per. ences of the committee was not follow
ed by any burst of passionate criticism.
Silence reigned until General Andrade, the
Despaigne's dissolution motion, with the
amendments, would be considered. Then
Senior Csneros raised his dissenting voice,
persisting in that attitude until the close
of the proceedings, but his declaration was
the only feature which prevented the dis
cussion and decision from being unanimous.

PROTEST AGAINST
IMPERIALISM
Large and Enthusiastic Meeting
in Boston.
ADDRESS BY Mr.. BOUTWELL,
Declared That the United States Has
Entered Career of Public Crime.
Troops Should be With
drawn from Philippines.

Boston. April A mass meeting under
the auspices of the anti-imperialistic league
was held in fremont Temple tonight and
was attended by large and enthusiastic
audience. The principal speaker was ex-
Secretary of the Treasury, G. S. Bout
well.
Mr.. Boutwell, declared that he did not
dispute the right of the United States
under the constitution TO acquire territory,
but insisted that our form of government
in each and every one of its attributes
proceeds upon the idea that the people,
acting as communities, are to govern them
selves"
The speaker then referred to some of the
reasons advanced by those who favored the
conquest of the Philippines and said:
The prosecution of the war against the
Philippines is an offense against every pro-
ducer and every laborer and every tax
payer in America. Our demand must be
this:
Withdraw the troops from the Philip
pines. Leave the islands to the inhabi-
tants. Let them set up a government for
themselves.
The next step in the career of public
N4iiie oh WHICH tne country has entered ia
the creation of a mercenary army to be
composed of men with whom, for the most
part, we are unable to have any personal
intercourse, who have no knowledge of our
Institutions and who will be bound to US
by no tie except that which may be estab-
lished between the oppressed and the OPP
pressor. Mercenary armies have been tho
curse of every country in which they have
found employment.
What sort of government Is the presi-
dent setting up in the Philippine Islands?
The answer must be this: A military gov
eminent set up over a people who have
been sudbued or are to be subdued by mill
tary power. The president asserts a pur-
pose 10 use all the powers ever claimed by
any despot In fine there is no middle
ground in principle between the republican
ism of the declaration of American indie
Pendence and the broadcast claims that
were put forth by the car of Russia II
the president would accept the teachings
of the declaration of independence we
should be at peace. The seizure of the
Philippine Islands by us is English policy
In accepting England's policy in the east
we accept her sovereignty"
Resolutions condemning the policy of the
administration were adopted.
