Dawes ON T4g. FINANCES.



Declares the Csuntry's Present Con-
ditien sesnd and stable.
Chicago, Dec. R.-Comptroller Of the
Currency Charles @. Dawes passed
through Chicago yesterday en- route for
Springfield, where he will address a
gathering Of state Republicans. Con-
corning the recent financial panic and
present conditions he said:
"The general financial condition of
the country, as far as can be judged
by the banking situation, is sound and
stable. The recent furry In the spec
nlative centers Of the east was = nat
nral sequence Of the condition Of last
summer, when the west did not need
It's capital and deposited 1t in the banks
Of the east In order to procure inter-
est on its. credit balances. The i'm
mense accumulation there stimulated
Legitimate speculation on stock ex-
changes and bubbles Of credit were
blown, which could not but burst at
the first disturbance In an abn0rma1ly
cheap money market. This disturb
ance commenced when, in order to
move Its crops and to furnish legiti-
mate industry with proper funds, the
west commenced to call for its own.
THE situation was also aggravated
by the London money market and the
prospect of gold shipments. The spec
ulators simply had to liquidate and the
legitimate demands of industry and
commerce had to be satisfied. There Is
ample money in the country to provide
for legitimate business. The business
OF the country was never more pros
porous nor the credit of the govern
ment BETTER"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that
an educated colored man addressed the
students Of Adelbert college. He told
about bis experience in his chosen pro-
fession, that of a lawyer, asserting that
on but one occasion had he ever met with
discourtesy at the hands of white men
during his legal experience in his native
state, Virginia. This happened in a
baekwoods hamlet, where the general ig-
norance of the inhabitants was some ex-
cuse for their boorishness.
In the course of his remarks he perpe-
trated an unconscious bit Of hunior that
brought smile to the students fa.s3
and drew laugh from the speaker him
self as soon as he realized the suggestion
in his statement.
II started out in my profession with
somewhat gloomy anticipatious," he said.
when l reached Alexandria, where
there were 1000 colored people, every
thing looked dark"
1t was at this point that the smile ran

CONSERVATIVE MINERS WIN.
The New Year VIII Not Open With .
Mlners' Strike,

The New Year VIII Not Open With .
Mlners' Strike.
Altoona, Pa, Dec. 2S.-In the BIZ
luminous coal fields of northern Cam
bria and Clearfield counties yesterday
several mass meetings Of miners were
held, the object of which was to create
sentiment in favor Of higher wages.
1t was expected that mass meetings
would be held all over the district, but
such was not the case. The reason for
this was that the leaders of the Uni
ted Mine Workers and the conserva-
tive element Of the miners were OPP
posed to them, because the scale of
prices which every operator OF any
note is now paying was made by the
miners. and holds good until April
next. The conservatives argued that
they would be betraying the operators
II they demanded an increase now.
The meetings at Barnesboro, Hast
ings and smaller places were we'll at
tended, but orderly and quiet. Ad-
dresses we're made, but the tenor Of
the remarks was conservative and
cautioned against strikes. Meetings
were held last night at these places
and delegates elected to the Indian
apolis convention next month. This
convention Ia to be conference be-
tween operators and miners. None of
the Altoona operators have received an
invitation to attend.
One thing is patent, there will be no
general strike at the beginning OF the
new year, and the indications are that
there will be no disturbance after the
Indianapolis convention.

New York, Dec. 28.--At the trial of
Roland B. Molineux yesterday a pro-
test was made to Recorder COT against

the district attorney. The jurors
claimed that detective had been as

Jurors told the recorder that he had

that his every movement about the

4 THOUSAND. REBELS

Nay That Brave General Lawton
Met His Death.
Manila, Dec. 2S.-Colonel Lockett,
with a force Of $500, including artll-
lery, attacked yesterday a strong force
Of insurgents sntrenched in the noun
tains near Montalban, about five miles
northeast OF San Mate0. The enemy
were completely routed, the Amert-
cans pursuing them through the hills.
amid which they fed in every direc-
tion. Four Americans were wounded.
!. The Filipino loss was large, resulting
from q heavy infantry and artillery
+! IRE for three hours into the trenches.
II il supposed that the insurgents
| ~.re those who were driven out Of
san Mateo on the day General Lawton
was killed. They numbered probably
q thousand.
A dozen lines of insurgent trenches
covered the steep trail through the
along which the Americans passed.
The main attacking party consisted of
the Forty-sixth volunteer infantry, a
troop Of cavalry and artillery, Colonel
Lockett commanding In person. The
rest Of the command operated from re-
mote points in an endeavor to carry
out Colonel Lockett's plan of throwing
his lines around the enemy and thus
cutting of retreat. The nature of the
mountainous country made 1t imprac-
ticable to execute this movement sue
cessfully.
After the insurgents began to run
there was vain attempt to use ar
tfllery.
1t now appears that one American
was killed in the attack upon the Subig
garrison Tuesday by General Santa
Ana.
The insurgent organ, Independence.
which was suppressed by the Ameri-
cans, resumed publication on Nov. q
in Bontoc province. '.

ANOTHER BRAzNeLL VICTIM


Vow Relieved There Are Other Deeo
Bodies In the Mine. it
Brownsville, Pa, Dec. 2S.-Another
victim Of the Braznell mine explosion
was found yesterday, making the total
"a. The body was terribly decom'
posed, and when brought to the morgue
the stencil was so bad that people
were almost driven from the building.
Some Hungarians claimed that the
body was that of Andrew Zamisky,
who has been unaccounted for since
the day of the disaster. Friends OF
the man claimed the body, and 1t was
taken to California for interment. The
body was found lying face downward
under heavy fall OF roofing, and the
terribly charred remains had the same
appearance az the debris around. 1t
ID now supposed that there is another
digger In this same room, and that
probably he il under the big fall of
slate. Inspector Conner stated that the
finding of the body of Zamisky simply
goes to show that they do not know
how many people are yet down In the
death pit. or where they will lind the
!. bodies II the mine has not been
thoroughly explored by tomorrow, the
date set for the inquest. 1t will not be
held until next Wednesday.

Ottawa, Dec. 2S.-The branding Of
seals by the United States government
is the subject Of a special report by
Collector Milne, of Victoria, to the de-
partments of marine and fisheries, in
which he says: 1.-THE observations

appearance Of the seals taken, and
which had survived the branding oper-

the brand were most inhuman, the
sores presenting most offensive APP
pearance."

Legal Fiction A. to Babies,

The English language should be SO
amended as to preclude the legal word
infant from applying to all persons I'M
der 21 years of age. There is something
SO habyish in the term that it is hard to
reconcile it with the idea of person 20
years II months and 20 days of age,
though such an individual would undoubt-
eddy be an infant in the eyes Of court
Of chancery. This seeming inconsistency
was absurdly demonstrated in New York
few days ago, when an infant" not
quite q years old, weighing 1876 pounds
and standing feet inch tall, was rep
resented in court by father who wanted
his sons marriage annulled.-Richmond
