Result Of an Attempt to Thaw Out Wate'

Plymouth, Ind, Feb. 2s.-The eN
pertinent of thawing out the iro'
water mains by electricity has beer

wires been connected with the mains
and circuit established, however
when every telephone bell in town be

the ground connections to the tele

the wire to water pipes. The mains

Moreover, the spirit of patriotism
will be strengthened by the showing
this country will make in comparison
with the nations of the earth. Again
will be demonstrated the superiority
of American civilization over the an
cicnt systems of the Old World. all OF
which will make more enthusiastic
and progressive the citizens of this
country. OF course. it is understood
that the greatest benefit will be felt
in the Purchase territory, but as that
has done so much for the nation at
large, no one will object to its reward
at the centennial anniversary of Us
becoming part of the country. Again
when one section of the republic is
benefited. all other sections are corre-
spondingly helped. The Louisiana
purchase is an empire in itself. 1t
elects one-ffth of the senators. 1t is
capable alone of feeding the world,
and at the rate of increase of popula-
ton. il has shown that it will contain
at least 32.0O0,000 of persons by the
time the fair is opened.

Our Colonial Mint.

The Philadelphia Record says: at
is reported that the old Mint building,
in Seventh street, above Filbert, which
was built in 1792,will be torn down be-
fore many months TO make room for a
modern commercial structure. When
this is done, the mystery as to the To-
cation of the original cornerstone will
be solved. The late John L. Kates,
who owned the property, bequeathed
the corner stone and its contents to
the Pennsylvania Historical society,
but as none of the local historians
have been able to agree in their theor-
les as to its location, and as search has
proven fruitless, the society will have
to wait for the demolition of the struc-
ture to obtain the legacy. The build
ing clearly shows the ravages of time
and the rough usage to which it has
been put by the scores of tenants of all
classes who have inhabited it. At
present 1t represents more nearly a
junk shop than the place where the
coin of our forefathers was turned out,
and which Washington, Adams and
Jefferson and other revolutionary pat
riots were wont to visit"

When Thompson discovered the pres
ence of the crooks, Walters was stand
ing guard outside, and was at once placed
under arrest by the officer. The others,
alarmed, scampered out of the building,
and In an effort to capture them Thomp-
son and the men exchanged shots Final
ly all four were brought together, and
Thompson endeavored to arrest the
three, when the unknown man, 1t is
Claimed, attempted to shoot the police
man. but failed In his purpose, the weap-
ons aim being so changed that the bull
let passed into the head of Horrigan, his
pal. In the excitement which followed
the third man escaped, Walters and the
wounded man being detained.
The men are not known to the Minne-
apolis authorities and are believed to be
strangers in the city. Walters will not
reveal the name OF his second companion,
and Horrigan. or Wimble, was not able
to, so far as could be learned.
Thompson Is one of the Oldest officers

war prevails in the Philippine Islands
between the government Of the United
States and certain men who are in in
surrection against the lawful authority
OF the United States. We believe that
such condition Of inSurrection has arisen
from course Of events, which, once in
Stltuted, has moved in Irresistible Sc
quence to the present situation; that this
course of events began with the barbara
ties practiced by the Spanish government
toward the Inhabitants of tho island Of
Cuba. These barbarities were continued
by the Spanish authorities, in spite of
our protestations and entreaties through
these dreadful conditions, and finally cul-
minated In the destruction Of our war
vessel, the Maine, In the harbor of Ha-
vana. Every step which followed has bsen
an inevitable sequent of the preceding
events-war between the two nations the
success of American arms and the conSe-
an armed foe. Among these consequences
We're the occupation of the Philippine
islands by the Amarican navy and mill
tary forces, and the substitution during
ty of the conqueror for that of the con-
quered. In the Philippine islands, with
the exception OF single year. Spanish
sovereignty has been complete since the
sixteenth century. Spain collected the
taxes, held the Notifications, appointed
all the civil officers: Spanish vice -oys,
tered the laws which were proclaimed by
the Spanish governor and enforced by
tne spanish army ana navy. The sudden
destruction of this sovereignty compelled
the substitution of the sovereignty Of the
conqueror No other government in the
archipelago was competent to receive the
authority surrendered by Spain Our
government had to accept and assume
the responsibilities of the situation and
execute the duties devolved upon it by
the change in the administration of the
laws. The only alternative was to sur
render the islands to anarchy or to for
eign and selfish Intervention. Neither
course was compatible with duty or
with the dictates of humanity. There
fore, after the conquest in the harbor of
Manila, 1t was incumbent on our govern
throughout the archipelago.
We recognize and declare the facts to
be that from the 18th day of August
1885, until the 4th day of FEBRUARY 1900
peace prevailed in Manila under the pro-
lection of American arms-that on the
day last named an insurgent force as
sailed our army in it's Notifications and
encampments under cover of darkness
and by this act of aggression inaugurated-
hostilities, the first result of which was
intended to be wholesale massacre and
the destruction of property within the
| city.
We recite with sorrow the fact that the
| chief encouragement extended to the in
/! surgents has been from some of our mis-
| guided fellow citizens, and to them must
| be ascribed much of the bloodsbed and
/ ruin which have followed
We further declare that the govern
| ment of the United States has sought
in every honorable way to secure cessa-
ton of hostilities, as evinced by. the APP
pointment OF commission, fully aN-

thorities, who have at all times been

der their arms and cease their Warfar
ssgainst the government of the United
We point to the fact that these offers
OF peace have been enacontinuously rejected
by the insurgents until it became mani
hopeless war.
Second-We declare our belief in the
hlgn honor and just action of our army
and navy In the Philippine Islands. We
believe that our government has taken
every step that 1t should take to secure
peace and order We believe that the
administration, representing, the govern
ment, has highly and fully discharged its
duty IN the premises. We consider 1t our
part to share the burdens of our govern
ment, rather than to embarrass It's ef-
forts and thus sprolong the conflict of
arms.
Third-We know that at this very hour
our soldiers In arms are face to face with
tilities we know only our country, lis
army and navy and it's executive We
pledge to them while our flag shall be in
battle our unfaltering support
Fourth-We as Americans take pride in
the achievements of our army and navy,
both IN the war with Spain and in the
Of Luzon. The beroism of officers and
men alike has shed renewed luster on
American arms. The cause in which they
have fought was and is a just one They
are now fighting for the security of the
lives of peaceable non-combatants
throughout the archipelago, and in just
reprisal for an unprovoked attack. We
believe that the sending of seditious ap-
peals to the American troops, engaged
in hostilities,, is an act of treasonable
character, and that every appeal to them
to abandon their colors or disregard their
duty as soldiers tslerits the lasting con-
demnation of every patriot
Fifth-The government of the United
States should be, and we, believe will be.
all questions that may arise in the future
in our relationship with the people of the
Philippine islands.
Sixth-We regard the great issue of the
hour to be the success of our country in
the performance of the duty which it
owes to civilization. Until this is assured
until armed insurrection has ceased, we
have no terms to offer but the American
terms of unconditional surrender.

strike here today. One was Fred ]. Few
ings, clerk in the offices of the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern road. He was on
an interstate line car which was at
tackled by mob Fewings was struck
on the head by stone and quite seri-
ously injured. He bled profusely and
was taken to DR.. Magee's Office, and af-
ter his wounds were dressed, to his
home.
The company has decided to discon-
tinue service after nightfal hereafter.
Tonight all cars were called off at 10
o'clock.
Mobs, all Of which were at the West
end, were larger and bolder in their
work today. Almost every car that went
to the West end was attacked and more
or less smashed up. The passengers had
to get down in the bottom of the cars to
escape injury. Two ladies were struck
by flying stones, one was badly b-uised
In the face and the Others face was cut
by flying glass
The police made but one arrest, that
of a small boy for throwing stone at
a car.
A Mrs. LIE Clair, with whom the nom
union men are boarding, believes she is
being made the object of intimidating at
taeks. Mrs. LIE CIair's barn was f1red
some time during Saturday night, but
no damage was done and no one knows
anything about when the building was
ablaze or who extinguished it. The
woman is badly frightened.
The committee of business men report
ed to the mayor today that they were
unable to get the strikers and the COM
pany to come to terms and asked to be
relieved from further duty.
The strikers attended the First Metho-
dist church in a body this morning and

Prof. Green Experiments With
Wireless System of Telegraphy.
NOTRE DAME, Ind, May 7.-Prof ].
]. Green has operated successfully the
Marconi system of wireless telegraphy
from the university campus to point
one mile across the city of South Bend,
total distance of over three miles.
In this experiment Prof. Green had the
metal ball at the sending station placed
on the church steeple at the university
while the vertical wire and metal bali
at the receiving station were on st. Jo-
seph's church at South Bend. There were
great many adverse conditions existing
The weather was all that could be asked
but in the direct line oz operation lay
the city of South Bend, and there are a
great many metallic constructions that
might have caused the experiment to fail
Prof. Green, when asked III regard to
the experiment, said that 1t was very sue
cessful. and that the instruments at the
receiving station responded in a vigorous
manner. This Is probably the greatest
distance that this system has been sue
cessfully operated In the United States
land
