CHICAGO, June 7.-Before the Union
! League Club, Of Chicago, this evening,
Hon. John Barrett, late United states
minister to Slam, made the following
striking address: II am deeply sensible
of the great responsibility resting upon
me to tell You the truth as actually
}eeen and learned by me about the Phil
ippine Islands, their responsibilities,
their people and their bearing upon our
commercial and political standing In the
Pacific and the far cast.
Il cannot oyerestlmate the importance
OF the subject before us. We are face
to face In the Pacific and far east with
q situation OF 'immeasurablc possibllI-
ties. Upon our policy depends our posi-
ton in that great ocean, where by the
hand OF God, by destiny and by fortune

Louis and Boston, but the recspts OF
1899 do not compare favorably with those
OF previous years. The reason for this
decline in popularity Is chaos in Now

meets with favor here. SO long as the

MISS BEVAN'S DEATH.
Occurred at the Residence of Her
Parents from Heart Failure.

Miss Jessie Bevan, the accomplished
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Bev-
an, of sol North Main avenue, died
very suddenly at the residence at an
early hour yesterday morning Mon
day morning she was called to sub
stitute in No. Is school, which is not
far from her home, Miss Mabel Yost,
the regular teacher being detained at
home on account of the death Of her
father. When she started for school
she was perfectly well apparently, but
shortly after the exercises had begun
she complained of feeling i'll and i'm
mediately returned home.
DR.. II. c. Comegys was summoned
and he pronounced her illness as due to
pleursy, but did not anticipate any
serious change in her condition. She
was in excellent spirits and talked
freely with her relatives about going
to school and other matters during the
day. Yesterday about a. m. Mrs.
BaVan, who had been close to her bed
side during the night, noticed her
daughters face become deathly pale.
and Immediately summoned the men,
bers of the family. At i.30 o'clock,
without any warning, Miss Bevan died.
DR.. Comegys, who had been called,
pronounced the case as one Of heart
failure.
Miss Bevan was 20 years Of age, an
exceptionally bright young lady, and
very popular among her associates.
She was graduate of the High school
class of '97, and was at present at
tending the training school Her sub
6stitution, Monday at No. IS, was in
'the usual order of the course
The circumstances connected with
her death are doubly sad to the family.
owing to the fact that two years ago
yesterday one member of the family
passed away and two years previous
to his death another son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bevan died in the prime of life.
Only last week the father severed his
connection with the company he was
identified with after forty years of
labor to enjoy the peace and happiness
of the family circle. The funeral will
be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock
Interment will be made at Forest Hill
cemetery.

NOT YET CALLED FOR.
Remains of Luigi scarini Still at the
Hospital

The remains of Luigi Scarini the
Italian laborer who died at the Lacka-
wanna hospital early Monday morning
from the effects Of the awful injuries
received in the dynamite explosion at
Elmhurst, Thursday last, have not yet
been claimed. Scarini's death is the
second to occur as result of the acci-
dent, Ferreri, or, as he was sometimes
called, Bullardi, having died Saturday.
Scarini's wounds were mostly about
the face, neck and shoulders, and
though apparently the worst injured
of the four, his strong constitution en-.
abled him to survive until Monday. He
however, never fully recovered con-
aciousness, the shock being too great.
He resided at Bunker Hill, Dunmore
had few friends, and was unmarried.
Francesca Grippe, the other injured
laborer, is progressing favOrably. His
left eye is in condition to use and they
may save the right one. Foreman
Beezy, of Elmhurst. who was also
slightly injured, has entirely recovered
