WANTON RAISING OF WAGES.
From the NeD York Mail and Express

From the Nep York Mail and Express.
The city of Detroit should be
forever blacklisted in the pri-
vate notebook of Mr.. Bryan.
That municipality has earned
the utmost condemnation of
democratic sentiment by per
hitting within it's confines a
conference of iron and steel
manufacturers and workers,
the result of which is to be a
general advance in wages of
about 20 per cent for some 49,
600 men; thus placing the
wage scale higher than at any
time since 1892, when Cleve-
land was elected to the Presi-
dency. The wanton disregard
of Bryan's feelings displayed
in these multiplying assertions
of prosperity is almost as rep
rehensible as the suppr ession
of Aguinaldo.

AN EXPENSIVE LESSON.
Concluded from last week.


The newspaper liar has got
in some of his finest work
in depicting the horrors of the
sickness of Manila. Fright
full tales were told at home of
the smallpox, the fever, the
malaria, the snakes and scor-
pions of these blessed islands.
The actual truth is that with
average sanitary conditions
Manila would be as healthful
as Honolulu or northern Mex
leo or Florida itself. The
health of our soldiers who
have been out on the line
fighting since the 9Th of last
February is this day excellent.
| have from numerous soldiers
themselves the testimony
that they never felt better.
Their greatest need is that of
thin cotton clothes, without
which no boy in blue should be
sent here. The blue should be
retained, but it should be cot
ton instead of wool. In one day
recently our troops marched 10
miles over rebel intrenchments
and through thickets, and very
few of them were knocked out
till the end of the journey.
The testimony of Americans
who have been here in bust
ness several months is univer-
sally in favor of the country.
The longer they remain the
better they like it. White ba-
bies born here certainly thrive
admirably the first FIVE years
of their lives. l have this on
the authority of Mr.. P. K. A.
Meerkamp Van Embden, Dutch
consul in Manila many years.
Three of his children were born
here. l have been told that
the Spaniards who first settled
here set afloat and persistently
kept up the story of the un-
healthfulness of the Philip
pines in order to keep other
white races out. Maybe it's
true.
One of the oldest results of
the Filipino instruction has
been the establishment of a
real friendship between the
Americans and the Spanish
here. Before the outbreak the
Spaniards hated the Ameri-
cans. A sonora passing our
soldiers would draw aside her
skirts in that peculiar way
that seems to delight the fem
mime soul when it would fain
express sco-n. After the out
break all was changed. 1.-The

TIDINGS FROM ANDREE.
Story From Siberia of Finding Bodies Of
Possible AerOnauts


Possible AerOnauts.
KRASNOvARSK, Siberia, Feb. ia
gold mine owner named Monastyrschin
has received aletter saying that a tribe
of Turguses, inhabiting the Timur
peninsula, North Siberia, recently in
formed the Russian police chief of the
district that on Jan. last. between
Komo and Pit, in the province of Yeni-
seisk, they found cabin constructed of
cloth and cordage, apparently belonging
to balloon. Close by were the bodies
of three men, the head of one badly
crushed. Around them were a number
of instruments, the uses of which were
not understood by the Turguses. The
police chief has started for the spot to
investigate, as it is believed that the
bodies are those of the aeronaut, Herr
Andree and his companions.
The balloon Eagle, with Professor
Andree and two companions, Strinde-
berge and Fronkel, left the Danish
islands Of the Spitzbergen group on
July IL, 1897, in All attempt to cross the
north pole point. No definite news OF
the aeronauts has been received beyond
the message attached to carrier pigeon
found by the whaleship Falken, which
arrived at Copenhagen on Sept. 8. The
message reads: July IS, 1890 p. m.

WashinEtOn's Tomb.

Washington was buried in what Is
now known as the old vault, which is
perhaps 900 feet away from his present
resting place. Before his death he had
requested that new family vault be
constructed after his decease, and the
reason given for this is that the earth
upon the side of the hill where the old
vault was placed was likely to slip away
in the springtime. 49,
No attention was apparently paid to
this request, however, until about
1880, when an employee who had been
discharged from the estate broke into
the old tomb as an act of revenge and
stole a skull which he supposed to be
that of George Washington. This he
took to Alexandria, and, as usual in
such cases, "got drunk" and so his
secret was discovered, and the skull,
which proved to be that of Laurence
Washington instead, was returned.
This incident led TO the final carrying
out of the wish of General Washington.
The tomb which is his present resting
place was promptly built and in 1881
his remains were removed to it.. The old
vault was allowed TO fall into state Of
decay, and only few years ago it was
restored by the aid of drawings found
in the congressional library. An iror
fence has been built around it, and i
now receives the same care as the new
omb.-Exchange.

Avalanche at Silver Plume Carries Death
to Twenty-Four Italians.
GEORGETOWN, Colo, Feb. 13.-The
most terrible and disastrous snowslido
ever know in Clear Creek county &C.
CURED at Silver Plume, four miles from
here, yesterday. The slide started two
miles away and came with terrific force,
carrying along huge boulders and inn
mense trees. A short distance from the
starting point the avalanche parted, one
section coming down Cherokee gulch,
taking with it two cabins occupied .by
Italians and the shaft house of the Gary
mine. The other slide came down Wilt
han gulch between the Pelican and the
Seven Thirty mines. The latter did the
most damage. Settlements of miners,
mostly Italians, were situated in both
gulches. For week or more the in
habitants have moved from place to place
to escape the threatened disaster should
the mountains of snow start down the
mountain side. Some fingered in their
homes and were carried away in the
slide. 1t is estimated that 10 bodies are
still buried beneath the piles of snow in
the two gulches. Eleven have been
taken out dead, two of whom are identi-
fed as the wife and babe of Dominica
DeStephani.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-The unani-

senate last Saturday to vote Tuesday on
the resolution of Mr.. McEnery (Dem.,
La.), declaring the policy Of this gov
eminent in the Philippines, was not va
Gated. In accordance with that agree
ment, the vote was taken on the reso-
luton yesterday, and it was adopted,
26 to 90. 1t was noticeable that several
Democrats who were present and not
paired refrained from voting. An
amendment offered by Mr.. Bacon sew
eral days ago was defeated. The vote
on this amendment was a tie-29 to 20
and Vice President Hobart cast the
deciding vote against the proposition.
The vote was preceded by three hours
and a half of debate.
The McEnery resolution is as follows:
"That by the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Spain it is not intended
to incorporate the inhabitants of the
Philippines into citizenship of the Unit
ed States, nor is it intended to perma-
nently annex said islands as an integral
part of the territory of the United
States; but it is the intention of the
United States to establish on said ISL

government. and in due time to make
such disposition of said islands as will
best promote the interests of the citi-

naturally suffering, since there have
been no clearances for Philippine ports
for a week, but on the other hand for
eign shipping has increased, especially
for Hong Kong, every steamer bound
thither being crowded with timid ref
ugees.
Despite this quietude, however, many
are asking whether the problem is still
not far from solution. A week ago

dicted that the terrible lesson just ad-
ministered to the rebels would settle

rilla than of civilized warfare, every
bush, clump of trees and tree furnish
ing cover for sharpshooters.
Unfortunately, for miles around the
land is studded with bamboo jungle
and open spaces are few and far be-
tween. This affords the natives, who
fight better under cover, distinct ad-
vantage. ..-s-.-
Under such conditions it is remarka-
BILE that the American casualties should
be so few, while the number of dead
natives found in the brush after every
skirmish testifies to the precision of our
fire. Last week there was not a single
day without fighting, but the Americans
steadily advanced, carrying everything
before them.
1t is now known that the Filipino loss
is fully 1850 killed, with wounded
vastly in excess of that number and
thousands are held prisoners. All this
has been achieved at the cost of IS
Americans killed and 276 wounded.
There were 25 Americans missing and
unaccounted for. No fewer than 10 of
the native villages have surrendered or
been captured. Several have been de-
stroyed because their houses harbored
men, frequently disguised in female
attire, who shot from windows and
roofs at the Americans.
Many rifles and ton of ammunition
have been seized. AS might be expected
there is looting in the outskirts, but it
has not been general and has been done
in direct violation of orders.
The only incident that broke the quiet
of Sunday followed the arrival of the

Crowds have visited the scenes of
last weeks fighting. All the roads
from the city were thronged with
vehicles. But beyond burned villages
and new mounds in the fields, there
was little to be seen. Inspection showed
that most of the enemy's dead had re-
manned at their posts to the last, as the
bodies were usually surrounded by
empty cartridges, while in the trenches,
wherever there were dead, there was
little and often no ammunition.
