At the corner of State and Chapel streets two men boarded the car carrying in their hands two suspicious looking boxes They got on the forward end of the open car, and taking a seat facing the passengers, one raised the cover of the case, thereby dis playing an intricate piece of mechanism
 Visions of internal machines appeared to the motorman, but as the gentlemen were very orderly there was no cause for their removal All at once a brass megaphone was produced and pointed toward the passengers, and the game was discovered when the photograph for such 1t proved to be, began to chime forth the familiar strains of the popular marches of the day. A broad grin overspread the counteuances of the passengers, and they settled down to an entertainment that lasted throughout the entire trip.

Hardships of the Campaign.

Among the scraps of news obtainable
are stories of the hardships with which
the American army Is meeting. 1t is
reported for instance, that Lawton mar
rowly escaped drowning while fording
Q river recently, when Lieutenant Luna
and two privates were lost.
Captain Leonhauser, with battalion
of the Twenty infantry, is on his
way from Bambam to O'Donnell to
take the insurgent cartridge-fllling
works there. A Filipino captain who
surrendered with four men to Colonel
Burt, of the Twenty fifth infantry, de-
scribed the factory and volunteered to
guide the expedition.
The governor of Neuva Vizcaya has
determined, like many other Filipinos,
in these days, that the administration
of his province cannot change too
quickly, and is coming to Manila to
tell General Otis of his loyalty and in
cidentally to request that he be re-
tanned in office under the new regime.
Admiral Watson has received an ad.
ditional credible report that Lieutenant
Gilmore and five of the captured SAIL
ors of the gunboat Yorktown were at
Tarlac, November 10. Gilmore was
living in Filipino generals house.

London, Nov. 22.-The reports OF
heavy fighting at Ladysmith last We'd.
uesday have not been confirmed. On
the contrary, the most reliable advices
from Estcourt indicate that there waa
nothing more than a despltory cannon.
ade. Probably the rumor of serious
engagement grew out of the fact that
the Beers threw few harmless shells
late Tuesday night, leading to the sup
position that an attack was Imminent.
Nothing. however, happened Wednes-
day. Beyond the fact that the Boers
are daily receiving fresh reinforcements
and supplies, there is practically
nothing new from the front.
The Boer invasion of Cape Clony con-
tinues steadily and rapidly. There are
], 300 Beers at Colesburg, and news has
reached East London that Ladygray,
near Aliwal North, has been deserted
by the British and now is in the hands
of the enemy.
From Delagoa bay come reports of
the arrival of more German officers and
artillerymen, who have volunteered to
serve with the Transvaal forces.
The war Office semiofficially asserts
that all news received from Africa has
been published, with the exception of
demands for the renewal of stores, war
material and the like.
There is an unconfirmed rumor that
more troops have been ordered from In.
dia to the Cape.

forces were victorious.
1t is stated that the battle lasted two
days, ending at noon on November 16.
More than 200 rebels were killed
and 2,OOO wounded. About 10000

Found in the Old Shoes Of . Providence
Man.
New York, Nov. 22.-Ten thousand
smuggled pearls, of all sizes, some imi-
tation and some genuine gems, were
taken to the custom house today and
spread out in Collector Bidwell's office.
Tomorrow they will be taken to the ap-
praiser's stores, where the government
experts will pass upon their value. The
pearls were seized by Special Treasury
Agent Theobald, from Francis Book, a
dealer in jewels and gems, of Provi-
dence, R. l. Book arrived on the
French liner Bretagne, but preceding
him had come cable message to the
customs officials telling that the Provi-
dence man had pearls of great price in
his possession. To the inspector Book
declared he had nothing dutiable. He
declared he was going to Mexico at
once, and said nothing about his bust
ness in Providence. So special Agent
Theobald and the inspectors made q
rapid examination into his baggage,
and in his pockets.
In Books trunks were three pairs of
worn shoes, tied together heels and toe,
and wrapped compactly in newspapers.
Inside each pair of shoes were many
packages of half pearls. There were
two quarts of gems altogether. A
rough estimate of the value of the en-
tire seizure is $50, 900. Book was taken
before United States Commissioner
Shields and held in $4,000 bail. Not
being able to secure bail, he was sent
to Jail.

LABOR CONDITIONS.
Gompers Testified Before the Industrial
Commission.

00mperS Testified Before the Industrial
Commission.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was the only wit
ness before the industrial commission
today. Speaking of the union label,
Mr.. Gompers said there are 81 different
organizations now using the label, and
that it is growing in popularity very
rapidly. He defended the boycott as
legal and proper weapon for working
men. In reply to question, Mr..
Gompers said that organized labor
views trusts simply as their employers.
There had been cases in which the or
ganizations had been benefited by COM
binations of capital. 1t is too early to
decide whether men would be more
steadily employed by the trusts than by
other employers. He said that these
combinations have more influence in
securing legislation than has unor-
ganized capital. He took position
against cooperative schemes, saying
that experience has proved that la
borers have secured no greater advan-
tages under them than under the wage
system. He has no fear of the future
for organized labor. The condition of
labor today is better than ever before,
and he attributes the improvement to
the influence of organized labor. Mr..
Gompers favors an amendment to the
constitution fixing a maximum of
hours per day for labor. Speaking Of
the effect of advanced labor legislation
in different states he said there would
be no backward step.

Mr.. Hobart's death had been expect

when there was a sudden failure of the
heart, and from this attack Mr.. Hobart
never rallied. He had been sick for a

from heart failure, and his strength
had benn undermined. Gradually the

England is generally believed to have
obtained free hand in advance from

has reached stage where any future
reverse is considered out of the ques-
tion.
With the fresh reinforcements arriv-
ing yesterday at Cape Town, more than
half the army corps is now on the
ground, and two transports have been
ordered to Durham with fusiliers and
riflemen. The relief column, when
strengthened. can hardly be prepared
to advance from Estcourt before the
end of another week. but the Lady
smith garrison is clearly secure and
the Boer artillery fire is no longer

"The Klondike expedition started
from Washington on March %. and
I had with me two topographers, two

went by train to Fort Yellowstone. In

up horses and packers, which We
shipped to Seattle. We left Seattle on
April 10, ON the steamship Excelsior,
the expedition then numbering about
80 souls, including trail boss, a dyn-
amiter, two sharpeners, graders and
handy men. When we arrived at
Valdes we found many miners from
the interior stranded and suffering.
The war department directed that they
be given employment on government
work, and as result Of this no des-
titute miners had to be taken out of
the country ON the revenue cutters.
During the coming year there will be
numerous enterprises embarked In
Alaska, especially in the Yukon coun-
try.

Copper river is dense vegetation and
luxuriant grasses and three or four
kinds of edible strawberries. The
mouth of Copper river Is q wide delta

Finding it was impossible to navigate

Swept Away.
Grand Forks, B. c., Nov. 23.-By
the breaking of a boom across the north
fork of Kettle river, two miles above
Grand Forks, 1900, 900 feet of saw
logs were swept away. A swelling
mass of grinding timbers swept down
the stream, swollen by recent rains,
carrying destruction in its path. Half
mile below the starting point, the
river, at the site of the amelter dam,
already half finished, is compressed
into canyon scarcely 1875 feet across.
Through this channel the logs piled
20 feet high came with q deafening
rush, tearing out portions of the false
work and cofferdams, after having
swept away temporary bridge quar-
ter of mile above. Another bridge op-
posite the smelter site was carried
away. The logs struck the city bridge
and piled up 10 feet high, but the
bridge remains firm. The loss will fall
upon the CRANKY Smelter Company,
which owned the logs. The construc-
ton of the smelter dam will be delayed
about q month.

Manila, Nov. 22.-Only fragmentary
reports reach Manila of operations in
the north which, when the story is
known, will prove to have been the
most remarkable campaign the Philip
pine war has known.
LawtOn's division is spread thinly
over the territory beyond San Jose,
where the telegraph ends.
Young's two regiments of cavalry
are continuing their rapid sweep in to
the new country and the infantry is be-
ing showed forward to hold the towns
the cavalry take, all in a country
whose natural difficulties are increased
indescribably by the tropical rains,
making rivers of the creeks and
swamps of the fields. Wagon transpor-
tation is supposed to have been prac-
tically abandoned, the American troops
living on captured supplies and the
little produce the insurgent levies have
left.
Major Swigert's squadron of Third
cavalry is reported to be engaging a
greatly superior force at Pozarrubia,
northeast of Dagupan. These troops
have fought three engagements and are
now holding their position, awaiting
reinforcements.
1t is believed at headquarters that
this force is covering the retreat of the
insurgent leaders to the Binguet noun
tains; that the insurgents planned to
retreat northeast along the Tayud road,
which is stocked with storehouses,
three of which the Americans have had
to draw upon en- route and that only
the insurgent advance force had passed
Tayud before American occupation, the
main body of Aguinaldo's army being
within our lines. The majority of
these insurgents may disorganize and
pose as amigos when the Americans
Oyertake them.
