pleasure at the good relations existing
between Gen. Rios and Gen. Otis"
Dispatches from Manila describe a
conference between Gen. Otis and
Aguinaldo some days back at which,
when Aguinaldo learned of the 'inten-
ton of the Americans to attack and
capture Iloilo and other ports" he de-
clared he would begin hostilities if the
United States sent any reinforcementS
to the Philippines. The conference
failed to arrive at any understanding. .
According to the same dispatches, it
would seem that the insurgents lack
ammunition, as they have been seeking
to purchase it everywhere and have
been offering high prices. They recently
gave it out that Gen. Rios had deliv-
ered to them 81 900 Mauser rifles and
100000 cartridges in exchange for pris-
oners. but this Gen. Rios denies.

FUSION ASSURED.
Silver Republicans Will Indorse the
Democratic Platform and Candi-
dates.

CHICAGO, November 29.-The spec
ial meeting of the national committee
of the Silver Republican party adjourn
ed to-day to meet again at the call Of
the chairman, after having taken ac-
ton that practically assures the fusion
of the party with the Democratic and
Populist parties, the endorsement OF
the Democratic platform and the presi-
Dental candidate of that party. The
Subcommittee appointed yesterday TO
decide on the most practical date and
place for holding the national conVen-
ton and also to report on matters Of
practical organization for the cam
paign, including the apportionment of
delegates from the various States to
the national convention, submitted its
report to the committee to-day and af-
ter a lengthy discussion its recOmmen-
dations with one or two minor amend
ments were adopted. The sub-com-
mittee recommended that all the mat
tiers in question be referred for action
to the executive committee of which
former Senator Fred w. Dubois, Of
Idaho, is chairman.
Chairman Towne gave out the fol-
lowing official statement of the action
of the committee:
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed that national convention of the
Silver party be held and that the exec
utive committee was instructed to con-
fer with the Democratic and Populist
national committees in an effort to Sc
cure if possible the holding of all three
national conventions at the same time
nj nd or q orIip aafi
able date to the end that complete CO.
operation of the reform forces may be
had. The executive committee was
authorized to determine the number OF
delegates to the national convention,
the same to be not less than two thou
sand; to arrange the basis of selection
and to allot the representation form
each State. 1t was decided that the
call those voters who heretofore, prior
to 1896, or since, have acted politically
with the Republican party but are BIZ
metallists and favor the unrestricted
and Independent coinage of both gold
and silver at the present legal ratio,
and who are opposed to the policy Of
extending the gold standard in the
United States by retiring the green
backs, destroying the full money power
of the existing silver dollar, providing
for the payment of all government OBJ
legations and the redemption of all
forms of paper money in gold alone and
surrendering to a banking combination
the sovereign function of issuing paper
money.
Pledges were made covering the ex-
penseS of holding the national conven-
ton and Hon. Elwood S. Corser, OF
Minneapolis, was chosen treasurer Of
the committee with instructions to
maintain relations of practical cooper
alton with the Democratic and Popu-
list national committees.

GRIDLEY'S SON
To Be Helped Into the Navy by Presi-
dent Mckinley and Admiral Dewey.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 80.
j. P. V. Gridley, a son of the late
Capt. Charles V. Gridley, who COM
manded Admiral Deweys flagship at
the battle of Manila, was to-day desig-
mated for appointment as lieutenant
in the marine corps by President Nc
Kinley. Young Gridley is too old to
enter Annapolis and the only opening
for him in the navy lay in an appoint
ment to the marine corps, but he lack
ed the necessary education, and, worse
than all, the money for study. The
boy was too modest to tell any one of
his situation but Admiral Dewey, who
loved his father, suspected 1t and de-
cided to act. He determined to pay
the boys expenses while studying for
the lieutenancy.
This morning he met young Gridley
at the White House and presented him
to the President. Admiral Dewey
started to explain the situation when
the President interrupted and said:
You and l, Admiral, will pay his ex-
penses in preparing for examination.
If he fails in the first examination l
will give him another chance; but ]
am sure he will be ready when the
time comes"
AS Admiral Dewey and the young
man were descending the White House
steps the Admiral was saying to the
son of his old comrade. Now you
keep an account of your expenses and
let me know what they are"
At the foot of the steps the Admiral
ran into a group of newspaper men.
Il shall be glad to give you an item
this morning." said the Admiral. ''The
President has just agreed to designate
this young man, son of Captain Grid
ley, for examination for lieutenancy
in the marine corps. But he has no
money with which to prepare himself
for the examination" he continued.
However the President and l are GO
ing to attend to that" he added, look
ing at the son of his old friend with a
suspicious moisture in his eyes. Now, :"
said the Admiral as he turned away,
''let the people of the country know
what sort of President they have"
Mr. Gridley's mother, the widow of
the gallant commander of the Olympia,
is living at Erie. Pa. She is drawing a
pension of $50 a month, which her
friends in Congress will seek to have
increased by special act during the ap-
preaching session.

ANOTHER ONE CLOSED.
A Philadelphia Syndicate no Longer In
Business

Business.
PHILADELPHIA, November 20
The doors of the home Office of the
Investors Trust, 1921 Arch street, do
ing business exclusively with patrons
outside the city and promising large
profits on investments, have been
closed. Efforts to find Lipman Keene,
the president; Charles l.. Work, secre-
tary, and Miss M. G. Carson, cashier,
were unavailing.
The company began business here
four years ago. Its plan was to invite
the investment of capital, the induce
ment being held out of interest rang
ing from 100 to 200 per cent. In ex
planning why such large gains are made
the company asserted in its literature
that it was in the confidence Of stock
manipulators, and therefore in a posi-
ton to know the way stocks would go.
AS a result of these statements cash
flowed in a steady stream. The force
Of employees was constantly augmented
and the correspondence grew to great
proportions. Agents were placed In all
parts OF the United States.
To the company's numerous patrons
were sent the first day Of each month
their dividends in the shape OF check.
1t is thought that the firm has over
800 600 invested for their patrons in
various stocks. Almost daily five big
sacks of mail have been sent by wagon
to the postoffice. 1t is said the COM
pany's postage alone has amounted to
5000 a week All mail Is being sent
back to the postoffice.

RECOGNIZED.
The Tableware Trust Grants an Ad-
vance to It's Men and Recognizes
the American Flints.

PrTTSBURG, Pa, November 29.-At a
conference which has lasted several days,
the National Glass Company, otherwise
known as the Tableware Combine tonight
granted unexpected concessions to the
American Flint Glass Workers Union,
which insures the men a material advance
and recognition of the union by the man
ufacturerS.
The original demand of the workers was
for a 10 per cent. advance on the pressed
ware scale and recognition. The agree
ment reached tonight gives to all workers
an advance of at least five per cent. and
recognition of the union. 1t was agreed
that non-unfon men should receive adj
vances from 10 TO 80 per cent. in order TO
put their wages on an equality with the
union men. over 5000 men are affected by
the settlement and a protracted strike
his been averted.

WASHINGTON, November 29.-The
following cablegram has been received
at the Navy Department from Admiral
Watson:
CAVITE, November 29.-Wilde re-
ports the capture of Vigan on Novem-
Der 26 by the Oregon's landing force
under Lieut.. Com. McCrackin, with
Lieuts. Mccormick, Botswick, Johnson
and Capt. Williams and Lieut.. Bermel-
eye, marine corps. The landing was
covered by the Callao, Tappan COM
handing, and the Samar, Muslin COM
manding. Slight resistance; no casual
ties. Inhabitants welcomed the flag.
McCrackin is holding Vigan until re-
lieved by the army. Lieut.. Gilmore is
WELL with seven men, Is miles from
Vigan. Received Myer code letter
from Gilmore by Albert Socichsen,
newspaper artist, who was with Gill
more seven months and escaped.
Brought here by Samar. News from
insurgents through Spanish sergeant
indicates the Urdaneta crew killed ex-
cept the four following: Farley, Green,
Powers, Burke. Names of the Gilmore
party: Walton, Vandolt, Ellsworth,
Brisolese, Anderson, Edwards, Peter
son. Some wounded were left at Baler
Gilmore has no news of them.
WATSON.
The above dispatch taken in con-
nection with the advices received to-
day from Gen. Otis describing the sue
cuss of the movements of the army I'M
der Young encourages the naval Off
Gals in the belief that perhaps by this
time the American prisoners referred
to have already been released. With
the naval contingent at Vigan only rs
miles away to the west and the army
probably little further distant to the
southeast, the town of Bagued is near
ly surrounded and there is little chance
of the escape of the insurgent force
there if they attempt to cucumber
themselves in their retreat with the
prisoners. Taking the list of prisoners
of Gilmore's party given in the cable
from Admiral Watson, as being at
Bagued, the records of the navy depart
ment show that the following men
must have been left at Baler, on the
east coast of the island where the
Yorktown's boats crew was captured
last spring: John Dillon, Charles A.
Morrissey, Ora B. Mcdonald, William
H. Rynders, o. W. Woodbury., D. G. A.
Venville and A. J. Nygard.
Altogether the news from both army
and navy sources to-day is highly en-
couraging to the officials here as indi-
eating the practical end of the opposi-
ton of the insurgents in the north of
Luzon. So far as known the only for
midable force is that left in Cavite
province under Gen. Tryas and that
operating in Panay.
