BOASTS THE SOLONS
For NegIeCfing fO Carry Out inc
 Will Of inc People.

Lansing, Mich, June 16.-Govener- nor Pingree marked the closing day of the legislature by sending in a veto message which hotly criticised the legislature for alleged failure to carry out the peoples wishes. The governor vetoed the amendment to the beet sugar bounty bill and also the bill ap- propriating $4O,OOO for a state building and exhibit at the Pan-Am:r:can ex- petition at Buffalo.
 The veto message said: "The leg islature passed no laws to equalize the burden of taxation and make cor po1ate and other property pay it's share of taxes. It was elected for the purpose of passing laws to equalize as sessments and taxes and to make rail- roads and other corporations pay as much taxes in proportion as the farm CTS and other small property holders. l. failed utterly to carry out the wish of the people in this respect. The tax dodg=r either controlled or obstructed legislation"

IL was about an hour before the engine returned with the other cars. The robbers did not go through the passenger coaches. The United States marshals office at Fort Smith was notified and 2 posse went at once to the scene to take the trail of the robbers. It IS likely that they will be captured.

 a Grand Attack.
LED BY AGUINALDO IN PERSON
They Were Driven Back With Great Slaughter - General FunStOn'S KanSaDS Built Up Breast works for Themselves Out of inc Dead InSurdeRfS-SaWf inc ASS8SSina. fiOn of Luna.

Manila, June 16.-The northern in surgents concentrated a large force near San Fernando and early this morning attacked MacArthur's troops. The enemy was quickly repuGsed and driven away, leaving ever fifty dead on the field and a large number of wounded. Our casualties are fourteen wounded, mostly very slight. Prepa- rations for the attack were in progress several days. It is believed that it was made under the personal super vision of Aguinaldo.
 General Funston's brigade of Kan sans and Motanans and General Ha1es brigade, the Eighteenth regiment and the Iowa regiment, constituted the force engaged. The insurgents had for several days been bringing for ward troops from Ca1daba and others from Dagupan were transported by rail.
 Along the front Of the Kansas regi- menb thirty-nine dead rebels were counted. A Spanish officer who has been prisoner in the hands of the rebels, and who was released by Aguinaldo, has come through our lines to Manila. He claims to have been a witness of the assassination of General Luna.

 day.

Los Angeles, June 16.-The build ing containing the kitchen, commits sary department, bakery and dining hall at the Whittier reform school was burned down this afternoon. The loss is about $2O,OOO. There was no insurance. The fire was started by accident by the overturning of bucket of grease on a kitchen range. There was no effective apparatus at hand and message was sent to this city and an engine went from here.
 The inmates Of the school and the officials had in the meantime worked hard to save the utensils and furni- ture, but little was saved. Several of the boys were burned, but not seri- ously. The engine from this city ar rived in time to save the main build ing, located about hundred feet from the building that was burned. None of the inmates of the school attempted to escape during the excitement and all are accounted for.

CUBAN DEBT PAYMENT
The Presidents Extension Ordcr
 Will Probably Stand.

Washington, June 16.-The impress sion. almost a certainty, prevails in official circles that the commission now in Washington for the purpose of securing the abrogation of the presi- dents order extending the time n which debts in Cuba may be paid will find it's mission futile. As well known, the order in question: which sought to relieve tha Cubans of the necessity or meeting their obligations at a time when their resources would have been in many instances entirely exhausted by doing so, was issued only after full consideration of the subject by the cahinet ana consultation with Gen eraI Brooke by letter and cable.
 It was modified in several directions upon the suggestions of General Brooke, and in it's final shape was re garded as the very best elucidation of very serious problem.
 It did not entirely meet the wishes of the commissioners representing the agricultural bodies of Cuba, who came here some time ago to urge 1t, but was regarded by the representatives of the best real interests of Cuba as most satisfactory.
 In official circles it is asserted tha. any abrogation or further modified ton of the presidents extension order would have the effecS of stultifying the president and his cabinet and General Brooke.

is altogether oveIstocked and that a serious crisis is at hand Great num- bers of musicians of character and at tainments are on the verge of starva tion for want of employment. He ascribes this as partly due to the fact that the profession is becoming fashionable.
 Of the young people who are foeking to the profession in crowds a vast ma jo:ity have not the mos. remote chance of even moderate success. He declares that hardly half a dozen composers in England can live by writing music. He Himself had tested about 15, 900 voices in the past thirteen years, and discovered perhaps twenty five firsIt-rata ones ir, that number. He says that nobody, unless excep- tional1y endowed, should think of the musical profession as career unless prepared to become a teacher as well as a performer.

Cleveland, O., June 16.-Cars start ed this morning on all lines operated yesterday. There was no rioting, but at various points Instructions were found on the tracks. These were read fly removed.

THE SHELTER STRIKE
The Union TgyiRa to Bring
 Another Conference.
The SmeIferS Succeed in Avoiding prOSeCutiOn-fiinerS Of inc Col orado Fuel and Iron Company Also Strike.

Denver Colo, June 16.-NO change from the strike at the trust smelters. The smsIter's men union are holding a meeting this evening at witch the situation is being thoroughly can vassed and possibly action looking to further conference with the manage ment may be taken.
 Nothing has developed to justify Q prosecution under the new cight-hour law, as the men are out of the Grant and Globe smelters and the law is ip force at the Argo. Over 500 miners employed at the Colorado Fuel & Iron company's coal mines in the Trinidad distri-t have struck for ten hours pay for eight hours work The railroads have begun laying off train crews on account of the falling off in ore ship menlts.
 After a long conference this morn ing between Manager Newhousa of the Philadelphia smelter at Pueblo. and President D. c. Coates and Secretary Robinson of the Stase Federation Of Labor, it was announced that this pant would stay in operation and be worked to the fullest capacity, unless unforeseen obstacles shold present themselves.
 All the men employed ct this smelter are satisfied with the newA wage scale, except the common laborers who de- mand $1.50 per day. According to the scale they would receive but $1.32, but Simon Guggenheim telegraphed au- thorIty to pay S1.40.
 The outlook is rather favorable late tonight for an early resumption of work at the trust smelters which have been shut down since Wednesday. bringing enforced idleness to thou sands of miners and railroad employees and threatening incalcu.able damage to all the industries of the state. Steps have been taken which will probably lead to a conference between James B. Grant, chairman of the operating committee of the American Smelling company, and committee appointed by the smelters' union.
 The employees will insist that an eight-hour shift shall be granted MT. Grant has said that he will agree to this. He has also expressed a will lingness to pay the wages that are being paid at the Argo smelter. To adjust the rates according to the varying conditions of the different trust smelters, would require consid- erabIe study, but if the men recede from their demand for ten and twelve hours pay for eight hours work there will be nothing in the way of a speedy and satisfactory settlement of the trouble

S., June 16.-A special dispatch from Glaco bay, ore mile from the Caledonia mine, one Of the collieries Of the Dominion Coal com pany, says an explosion, accompanied by a terrible loss of life occurred thero today. More than forty men wsra in the pit when the explosion occurred It is believed that nearly all perished.

The piece is as modest and unpretentious as the author himself, who evidently attempts the playwright with diffidence, but while Halves" does not pretend to be great play tt is in refreshing contrast to some of the recent risque products of more famous dramatis5s.

William Allen White, the author, con-
trary to general belief finds 1t more profit
able to devote his time to his Kansas news
paper than to fiction. While he is a repub-
lican and has been offered political offices,
among which was the Emporia postoffce,
which is worth $4,000 year, he is a stcSler
for local reforms, and he has steadfastly
declined to receive any money that he does
not earn relates the Saturday Evening
Post He says that the highest compli-
ment that ever was paid to him was by
an Emporia hack-drver who drove an
eastern visitor from the station to the edi-
tors house.

Details as to the movement of the liberals

cable dispatches relating to government
successes are discredited the fact being
that the main bodies of the insurgents are
avoiding actions until the revolution is
thoroughly organized. Several casual
bands of recruits have been dispersed and
few reverses have been suffered on the wa
ter, but the instruction is not even fully
launched yet, and is apparently waiting

WEATHER BUREAUS REPORT
Prof Willis Moore Shows Work of De.
partment for Past Year

Washington, November SO.-The annual
report of Professor Willis L. Moore, chief
of the United States weather bureau, deals
largely with the work of the bureau in an
nouncing the tempestuous weather of the
closing season of 1899 and explorations of
the upper air by means of kites and cloud
observations. No destructive marine storm
occurred without the danger warnings of
the bureau preceding the storm. Probably
the most severe storm within the history
of the living swept along the Massachusetts
coast on November 1921, 1898, entaiiing a
loss of at least 200 lives and many vessels
Hundreds of craft sought a safe anchorage
on the advices of the weather bureau. An
important change in the forecast work of
the bureau was the extension of the usual
time limits of the New York forecast from
thirty-six to forty-eight hours.
The only hurricane in the West Indies
during the season of 1898 followed closely
sthe establishment of stations in that re-
gion. Hurricane warnings were cabled to
weather bureau stations in the lesser An
titles on September 10 in advance of the
storm. At Barbados eighty-three persons
were killed $50 injured and property of the
estimated value of 81 500, 900 was destroyed.
In the West Indies the work of establish
ing storm warnings was prosecuted under
many difficulties. The West Indian service
was instrumental in giving advance warn
ings of hurricane that struck our South
Atlantic coast on October 2.
