struck by Lirhtnrng 900 limos.

A very singular record is attached to a deserted and ruined house at Dart moor, England. It was built by wealthy landowner, with the intention of making it his country residence; but before the building operations were completed a heavy thunderstorm broke over Dartmoor, and the house was strtck by lightning, the roof being dis rpantled. The damage was repaired and the house quickly finished. No sooner did the owner take up his resi- dencA ip it than another violent storm struck the house and destroyed the chirnney-stack, doing, besides, consid. erable damage. This made the owner nervous, and he left the house. It was soon shown that his fears were not groundless, for in nearly every thunder storm that passed over the district the house has been struck, and a fresh portion Of t destroyed. Altogether 1t has been struck over 200 times.

With his American money at his back, Count de Castellane is seeking to be the leader of the Royalist par ty in France. Of the thirty-oue Royalsts in the Chamber of Depu- ties, he is the least intelligent, but thanks to the fortune be married, he manages to keep a prominent po- sition.

Although denied by the Count, it has been proven by an eyewitness that his wife, Anna Gould, led the demon stration against President Loubet recently. No doubt the Gould fam fly are very proud of their Princely brother-in-law.

Louis Vain, the famous cat painter professes to believe that a cat owned by a woman is the mirror Of it's mis- tress's temperament. He says that if 8 cat that has been constantly with it's mistress is suddenly removed from her society the creature will show the characteristics madam has displayed If she has been snappish, pussy will scratch; if she has been sulky, pussy will sulk, too. If this were really true. 1t would pay a prosective husband to steal the eat of his lady love before taking the fatal matrimonial step. As the eat is about the most independent creature alive, one can't beIp being skeptical Of MT. Wain's theory.

Chicago, July 21.-While the mem
bers of the national committee were
enjoying inspection of the drainage
canal today the silver leaders were in
conference at the Auditorium annex.
Those present were John p. Altgeld,
G. Fred Williams, J. P. Tarvin, pres
ident of the league of timetable clubs
Of the Ohio valley; General A j. War
ner, president of the American Bime-
tallic Union; G. A. Shivley, of Indiana,
and Moreton Frewen, the English BIZ
metallist.
Those who participated in the con
ference said it had nc political signi-
ficance whatever, and they were at
the Annex simply as guests OF More
ton Frewen at a luncheon 1t is a fact,
however, that both prior to and fol-
lowing the luncheon there were meet
ings, where questions seriously affect
ing the future relations Of the demo-
cratic party and the silver people
were under consideration. It Is said
that a plan to organize the silver forces
of the country into a distinct party
formed the principal theme of discus
sion. It was not suggested as an i'm
mediate necessity, but as a contin-
gency which future ven might make
not only %expedient, but necessary.

More Philippines Killed Than Amerfs
cans rn.aged-hn American soldier
Shot as u spy |

Manila, July 21.-NeWs has been re-
ceived here from General Smith at
Iloilo, island of Panay, of a severe
fight on Wednesday at Bobomg, be-
tween Captain Byrne, of the Sixteenth
infantry, with seventy men, and a force
of $50 Babayones, who surprised the
American troops.
M hundred and fifteen of the enc
my were killed, as is shown by actual
count; many were wounded n II
was taken prisoner. The American
loss was one man killed and one
wounded.
The fighting was mostly at close
quarters, with bayonets and dubbed
guns. A considerable stock of supplies
and arms has been captured by Cap
ain Byrne, who is in command of the
battalion operating at La Carlota, IN
the district of Negros.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY FLOODED.
The unprecedented rains of the last
week have convinced observers here
that military operations on a large
scale or advances covering many miles
will be impossible for a long time.
Many miles of the country are flooded
to a depth of three or four feet. The
Paranque bridge, which was cons1d-
cred impregnable, has been swept away
cutting off temporarily the garrisons of
linus and Bacoor from communication
with Manila. Under the circumstances
it would be impossible to move wagon
rains as the rains nave become doubt
full. Pack mules will be utilized should 1t
become possible for soldiers to make
marches. The officials will have their
hands full for some time in arranging
for the departure of volunteers and in
settling with the regulars who are re-
placing them.
Washington, July 21.-It will be re-
called that it was at Escalante, on the
island OF Negroes that Captain Tilley,
of the signal corps, was ambushed and
murdered by the natives on May 9th
last. 1t is supposed that the band of
robbers who were so severely punished
by Captain Byrne's command were a
part of the same
the district of Negroes.
SHOT AS A SPY IN SIGHT OF OUR
ARMY.
Chicago, July 21.-A special to The
Chronicle from San Francisco says:
Efforts to discover the whereabouts of
Grant Cullum, of this city, who was
with the Tenth Pennsylvania in Ma
Mia, have resulted in word being re-
ceived here from a comrade of his that
Cullum was shot as a spy in sight or
the American outpOStS near Caloocan.
He was sent by General. Otis with a
message. 1t is said hat a rain storm
destroyed his disguise and he was cap
tured by the natives and put to death.
He was a member of Charity lodge OF
the Odd Fellows of this city, and it
was through the efforts Of the lodge
to find him that his fate became
known.

THE BROOKLYN STRIKE
Tie situation Unchanged-Presfdent
ROssiter Observation-Disclosures to En-"
force the Ten Hour Labor Law

New York, July 21.-In the boroughs
Of Manhattan and Brooklyn today the
strike situation, generally speaking, re-
manned unchanged.
The events of greatest interest during
the day were the arrest Of President
Rossiter, Of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company, on a warrant issued by
Magistrate Bremen, charging him with
criminal libel, Albert J. Johnson, for
mer president of the Nassau railroad,
being the complainant, and the notih-
cation of the different district attorneys
within the limits of the Greater New
York that the ten hour law was en-
forcible and asking them to communi-
cate with Secretary John P. Donnei'y,
Of the building trade section of the
central trade union, and submit COM
plants to a grand jury or to a magls-
trate.
The arrest of President Rossiter. al
though interesting, will not, ii IS
thought, lave any marked effect on the
strike. Ex-President Johnson objects
to statements made by President Rossi-
ter TO Brooklyn reporters in a recent
interview. In the interview Mr.. Rossi-
lCI - d6olC0 d. saying, dAlCA ANS

up the Fifth avenue elevated structure
with dynamite: These are not my
men. Mr.. Albert L. johnson is wei

there is evidence against some OF the
men TO send them to prison for twenty
years"
The letters written by Mayor Van
Wyck to each of the district attorneys
of the four counties included within the
city regarding the enforcement of The
ten-hour law, it is thought, may result;
in a transferance. of the street cal

The Hague, July 21.-Baron de Staal,
president Of the plenary session of the
International peace conference today
undertook to pace the fra seal upon
the labors of the first committee. The
first point of M. Van Karnebeck's re-
port dealing with prohibition of drop
ping explosives from balloons was unan-
imously agreed to.
The second point, prohibition of the
use of asphyXiating projectiles. was
agreed to by all except the United
States and Great Britain, whose alb
s%entation nullifies the agreement of tbs
others.
The third point, which relates to eX-
panding bullets occupied the major
part of the sitting, owing to the ques-
ton of the dum-dum bullet used by the
British army. Sir Julian Pauncefote
expressed regret that the plenary ses-
sion had been so suddenly summoned,
as the British government had intend
ed to make a statement regarding the
dum-dum bullet. The conference
agreed to leave the minutes of the ses-
sion open for the insertion of the Brit
iSh statement.
Mr.. Andrew D. White, the head of
the United States delegation, then
made an important speech in OPPOSE
ton to prohibition of Such bullets as
the dum-dum. Mr.. Whites arguments
made a great impression Upon the dele
| gates, especially when he explained
that the adoption of the proposal sub
mitted would not prevent the use of
another bullet, which had already been
| invented, n which would attain the
\ some end as the dum-dum, but in a.
| more cruel manner The new millile,
Mr.. White said, vas outside the spe-
! cific definitions of the present proposal.
Captain Crosier, the military member
of the United States delegation, propos-
ed as a substitute the following:
The use Of bullets Shout be prohibit
ed which inflict unnecessarily cruel
wounds, such as explosive bullets, and
in general every kind Of bullet exceed
ing the limits necessary to put a man
Immediately hors de combat"
Sir Julian Pauncefote announced that
he would accept Captain Crosier's pro-
posal, but it was rejected by a vote Of
IL to s.
I NJ. Van Karnebeck's version was
then adopted, Great Britain and the
United States alone voting against it.
h Portuguese delegation ~abstained
from voting.
The remainder Of the report was then
adopted.
Before the close of the sitting The
American delegates announced that
they withdrew the articles which they
had proposed should be added to the
Geneva convention, Captain Mahan ex-
planning the reason for the additional
articles and why they were withdrawn.
