SLIPPERY FILlPINos.
Mayors OF Two Towns arc Arrested
for Aiding the InSurgents-Concilia-
tory Policy Does Not Work Well.

Manila, via Hong Kong, Aug. 2S.-
Recent events have proved somewhat
discouraging to officials who are try
ing to accompany war with a policy
of conciliation. Two new municipal
governments have collapsed through
the treachery of the mayors. On the
22d the mayor of San Pedro Macati,
who was elected by the people under
the direction of Dean Worcester, Of
the United States advisory commits
sion for the Philippines, was brought
to Manila and lodged in Jail. The
United States officers at San Pedro
Macati found he was using his Office
as recruiting station for the Philip
pine army. Four disguised insurgent
officers were helping him.
The mayor of Baliuag was also mr.
rested and confined in the same pris-
onv The Americans caught him pass
ing between the lines of the two
armies with incriminating documents
which the authorities secured. An
other prominent native mayor is un-
der surveillance. When the result Of
the election at linus, which Gen. Law
ton and Mr.. Worcester engineered,
was announced, the Americans in
q,iired as to the whereabouts of the
peoples choice and were informed
that he was in prison at Bilibid, where
the authorities had placed him on sus-
picion of being a rcvolutionist. He
was released and installed as mayor.
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character who insist that a great ma
jority of the natives sympathize with
the insurrection and elect officials
whom they know to be revolutionists.
For two weeks Manila has been DO.
Iced at night with unusual vigilance.
Apparently the authorities are expect
ing trouble. The trend Of affairs
tends to make the policy of leniency
unpopular among the Americans.
When they abandoned Morong they
burned the whole town.
Col Smith, of the Twelfth infantry,
q
who is in command at Angeles, is
skeptical regarding Filipino friendli-
ness. Instead of allowing the natives
to return to the town as heretofore
lie has ordered his troops to shoot all
men trying to pass the lines and to
turn back the women and children.
He recently gave the Amigos in the
town an opportunity to prove their
professed friendship, putting them TO
work at digging trenches and clean
ing streets. but this only displeased
them. The foremost citizen of An
geles, lawyer who had welcomed
the Americans with great show Ct
cordiality, was found communicating
with the insurgents. The Americans
promptly marched him off to San Fer.

Havana, Aug. 2s.-The strike fever
in Havana is beginning to cause gen
nine alarm among the citizens. 1t is
supposed the bakers will go out to-
day. A strike on their part would
cause good deal of hardship, as few
households have facilities for baking
their own bread. The haclmen also
threaten to strike within the next
few days If the strike of the mnsons
does not soon terminate. The mcr-
chants Ay everything is ripe for n
strike that would mean general tie
up of business for fortnight, as a
majority of the employees who have
had work for some months have saved
money and want q rest.

A NOISY WELCOME.
San Franciscans Greet Returning Cal-

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-!The trans
port Sherman arrived Thursday from
Manila with the First California vol
unteers and batteries A and d, of the
California heavy artillery. Every pier
and Telegraph hill, which commands
magnificent view of the Golden Gate
and the harbor, were crowded with
spectators anxious to catch a glimpse
of the Sherman as she neared the har-
bor. From every quarter of the bay
crowded yachts, launches tugs and
bay craft of all descriptions made
their way to the Sherman.
AS the Sherman approached the gate
the land batteries belched forth u ma
tional salute and the bay steamers
took up the signal with sirens. Flags
dipped and were waved whistles
screamed, cannon were fired, trum-
pets were blown and megaphones and
marine glasses were turned on the de-
lighted boys who crowded the rigging
of the steamer.
As the fleet neared the transport
dock, the Iowa let go her batteries.

was dropped Commodore Spreckles

New York, Aug. 2s.-The executive
committee of the Dewey reception
committee has received two letters
from Admiral Dewey. In the first,
dated Leghorn, August 16, he says:
81 shall without fail reach the lower
bay on Friday. September 20, and shall
anchor there for the night to be ready
for the official arrival and naval parade
on the following morning. While l
should be gratified to meet any of my
friends in the navy and especially the
commanding officers of the ships en-
gagged at Manila, feel that this mat
ter of invitation should be left entire
ly with the committee. would sug-
gest that at the end of the display OF
fireworks off the Battery the Olympia
should return to North river and an
chor off Twenty-siXth street.
"While your letter seems to indi-
cate that the battalion of the Olympia
would lead in the land parade, still |
am in doubt. IT would be gratifi-
cation to me and the officers and men
of the Olympia should the Olympia's
battalion Of about $50 men be placed
at the head of the column. In refer
ence to the smoker it is proposed to
give for the men, that is matter that
comes within the province of the cap
tain of the ship, but I have little
doubt that he would be pleased to ac-
cept for them. / am much pleased
that you have eliminated dinner
from the programme and thank the
committee for the careful arrange
ments made to spare me any nneces-
sary fatigue"
In the second letter. written from
Naples August II, the admiral asks
that good large military band" be
detailed TO lead the Olympia's battal-
ion at the head of the land parade,
the 0lympfa's small band being hard
ly equal to the occasion. Admiral
Dewey has heen notified that all his
requests will he carried out.

THE CUP GOES TO CHICAGO.
Third and Last Race for the Canadian
Trophy il Won by the Yacht Gene

Trophy is Won by the Yacht Gene
see.
Toronto, Ont, Aug. 25.-The Can
ada's cup goes to Chicago. The third
race for the trophy between the Bea-
yer and Genesee was won by the lat
ter by 10 minutes and AZ seconds. The
wind at the start was light, blowing
about six miles per hour and contin-
ued much the same throughout the
race. The race was a great victory for
the American boat from the very start,
and Skipper Jarvis, of the Beaver, the
Canadian defender, admitted after the
race that the Genesee was the better
boat.
There was the usual clever man
euvering at the start, but Skipper
Jarvis, of the Beaver, got the weather
position and crossed just nine seconds
after gun fire. He was to windward
of the Genesee aud IL seconds ahead.
The two yachts went over on the star
board tack, but came about almost i'm
mediately and the Genesee although
to leeward commenced to draw ahead.
In half an hour she had gained sutf-
GENTLY to cross her opponents bow
and take a leading position. Once this
was gained she was never headed. The
Genesee's marvellous windward
qualities in light breeze were again
in evidence in the beat of seven miles.
The course was a triangular one, 21
miles around. The first seven miles
were a beat to windward; the next leg
broad reach and the third leg close
reach back. 1t was in windward work
that the Beaver, the much vaunted
windjammer, lost most heavily. Her
working jib was taken off and another
big reaching iib was substituted, but
it was of no use, and the Genesee
rounded the buoy with a lead of over
ten minutes.
The Beaver struck weak spot in the
very light breeze and was much slower
in getting around the buoy Spin
makers were not used on the next leg,
as the breeze was not far enough aft,
but the big balloon jibs fell forward
from each racer, almost dropping into
the water. The Beaver held the Cen
esee fairly well on her favorite point
of sailing, but the challenger gained
somewhat in this leg also, and had a
lead of about IA minutes when the
two boats rounded the second buoy.
When sheets were hauled in for the
close reach back the breeze freshened
and the Canadian boat commenced to
pick up. She covered the last leg Of
the triangle in almost two minutes
less time than the challenger, but it
was of no use. She was beaten.
At the island club house of the Can
ndian Yacht club last night Mayor
Shaw presented the Canada cup, which
the Genesee won in her race with the
Beaver. EX-Commodore Crawford, of
the Chicago Yacht club, accepted the
trophy on behalf of his club.

from the Red River and The Missouri
pouring themselves upon this and the
other floor, managing the concerns of
a seaboard 1,500 miles, at least, from
their residence?'
What harmless bogy this has prov1
ed to be! 1t is difficult to suppress a
smile as we read these prophecies and
contrast them with American history
from the acquisition and the annexa-
ton of the Louisiana territory till to-
day. 1t seems like huge joke to the
citizens of the great state carved out
OF that territory, which includes Ar
Kansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Min
ncsota Missouri, Nebraska Colorado,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho and Wyoming. To-day the
same objection that Mr.. Quincy urged
against the acquisition of Louisiana
territory, from which Nebraska was
carved. is being urged by William Jen-
nings Bryan against the Philippines,
viz.;That the territory should not be
acquired and annexed because the in
habitants are not competent to share
in the government.
The United States, however, did en-
ter upon the policy Of expansion at
that time. This country did not ask
France to- take back the Louisiana
territory and return to us the SIS, ,00O,-
600 given for it. The objections PROV
ed to be more imaginary than real.
The United States patriotically and
wisely grappled with the problems in
volyed and solved them in manner
that has contributed in an immeasur-
able degree to the greatness and
wealth of the nation. Nobody can be
found to-day to say that the expansion
policy then entered upon was unwise.
Since then we acquired, in 1919, the
10000 square miles of Florida; in 1s45,
Texas, with 376,1G3 square miles; in
1s4s, New Mexico and California, with
26S,242 square miles; in 1853, the Gads-
den purchase from Mexico of 45,535
! square miles; in 1867, Alaska, with
/ J31, 400 square miles.
The Philippines to-day are nearer in
point of time and ease of communica-
| non than those territories then.
Fifty years ago California was distant
from Washington three months
journey by land, and six months by
water, while Manila can be reached
from the national capital in less than
a month, and when a line of fast trans
Pacific steamers, similar to the pres
ent transatlantic lines, is established,
as is certain to be shortly, the capital
of the archipelago will be brought
within Is days of Washington. Under
such circumstances The reasons urged
by the anti-eXpansionists are far less
forceful now than when they were
first put forward by the original OBJ
structionists to national develop
/ ment and progress over 90 years ago,
The people wisely decided in favor Of
expansion then; and there is no rea-
son to believe the old spirit and on
terprise and patriotism of Americas
sons will not take the same broad
view to-day and support the republi-
can administration in it's expansion
policy.

Washington, Aug. 35.-Capt. Shoe
maker, of the revenue cutter service,
yesterday received report from Lieut..
Jarvis, the commander of the revenue

the rescue of the gold seekers who
rushed into the Kotzcbue gold coun-
try, Alaska. Lieut.. Jarvis was taxi

At Cape Prince of Wales ne learned
of the awful destitution which had
overtaken the gold seekers at Kotze-
bue sound. On arrival there he found
terrible copdition o. affairs. Men
had died of starvation. scurvy and by
drowning and he obtained a list of 4S
deaths. But the list is by 10 means
complete. Over 1000 of the goldseek-
ers had wintered there. The Bear
after relieving as much distress as
possible and leaving stores, lime juice,
etc, for the survivors took 50 of the
urvivors to St. Michael, where they
we're turned over to military authori-
ties. Lieut.. Jarvis report is dated
July 30 at st. Michael. He reported
that he left between 22j and $50 sur
vivors at Kotzebue sound. He in
formed the department that he would
proceed to Cape Barrow and upon his
return would touch ut Kotzebue sound
and pick up any who desired to return

THEORY VS.. PRACTICE.
Mayor jones' Business Practice Goes
with His Political Theories.

Government by injunction apparent
ly forms an important article in the
creed of Mayor Samuel Jones, of To-
ledo. He has brought suit in the
United States court to enjoin the firm
of Kerr, Jones & Spellacy, of Lima,
from manufacturing sucker rod,
which, it is claimed, is an infringe
ment on Jones' patent.
Jones believes it is right to be pro-
tected in his monopoly by the. United
States. He does not believe in allow
ing man to compete with him in his
business if he can help it. In fact, he
is opposed to competition in general.
In his letter addressed to the union
reform party, among other things, he
said:
"Nien are brothers, not competitors,
naturally loving, just and kind, and
our aim should be to establish an or
der Of life in which it is possible for
us to live as brothers. To do this we
must eliminate the competitive idea
in every possible way that we can.

So Mr.. Jones. "to eliminate the
competitive idea" from the sucker rod
business has appealed to the United
States court. $40 establish nm order
of life in which 1t is possible for us
to live as brothers." and be flowing,
Just and kind" he believes it advisa-
bic to secure decree from the United
States court further securing TO him
n monopoly in the manufacture of
sucker rods. This idea of brother.
hood is very Jonesey. Jones' theory of
politics may he bpautiful; but in ordi-
nary business he seems to DE just like
ordinary mortals. He believes that
the greatest good is good to the great
est number; that the greatest number
is number one, and he is that one.

The Fable of the Patient Donkey.

chased by n Boston mugwump for the
amusement of his children, who rode
him about the premises, was surprised
one day to see the old man come into

planning TO the stableman that he had
been recommended to take a donkey
ride for exercise. But the donkey,
who had heard his anti-expansion
talk the night before. bumped his
bnck and threw the man over his head.
That evening the COW, who occupied
the stall next to the donkey, and who
had been greatly surprised at his con,
