GOING 10 DENEY'S AID
THE YORKTOWN MAKING HASTE
TO MANILA.
Carries orders for the Bennington to
Leave Guam at Once for the Philip
pines-Will Sail Wednesday.

The Yorktown, sister ship of the
Bennington, dropped anchor in Naval
Row at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing on a rush trip to Guam with or
ders for the Bennington to at once pro
coed with her to Manila.
These orders were received just be-
fore sailing and are due to the threat
ening news from the Philippines. They
are a part of the government program
to strengthen both the army and the
navy at Manila as speedily and effec-
lively as possible. AS part of the
same program the Oregon on January
18th was about to sail from Callao, ac-
companied by the Scandal and the Iris
for Manila, via Honolulu, and the war
department was negotiating for the
Centennial at San Francisco to carry
stores and commissary supplies.
The Yorktown was expecting to be
stationed at Honolulu, but the new
turn affairs have taken sends her post
haste to the Orient where her officers
and men will have a chance to earn
promotion.
Guam will be left without an Ameri-
can war vessel until the arrival of the
Yosemite, which has started from the
Atlantic coast by way of Suez to Ma
Mia with men and supplies and will
go from thence to Guam. At the same
time orders were received by the York
town, orders to sail Immediately for
Manila were given the Montgomery
Marblehead, Detroit Castine and Ma
chias on the Atlantic coast. These
will go by way of the Suez canal. The
Spreckels tug Fearless, which was adj
ded to the auxiliary navy early in the
war, is preparing to come to Homo
lulu.
The Yorktown is in all respects like
| the Bennington and Concord, except
| that one pound center fire guns have
displaced the Hotchkiss revolving
| weapons. The Yorktown will coal at
once and sail at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning. She carries complement of
| 1S1 officers and men, including Is ma
| rines under command of a sergeant.
| Her officers are
Commander Charles S. Sperry, com
manding; Lieutenant Chauncey Thorn
| as, executive officer; Lieutenant Henry
Mnott, navigator; watch officers, Lieu
| tenant George r.. Clark, Ensigns Will
! liam II. STANDBY, Daniel w. Wurts-
baUgh and Dudley W. Knox; Chief En-
| gineer Henry n. Cleaver, Passed As
| sistant Surgeon Robert NJ. Kennedy,
Assistant Paymaster f. *. Perkins,
| Paymaster's Clerk S. II. Knowles.
The officers are an exceedingly
pleasant set of men. Commander Sper-
! ry was in Honolulu twenty-eight years
ago. Lieutenant Thomas, executive
officer, has been four years on the Pa
! cific station, but he says this is the
| first chance he has had to get more
than fifty miles from shore. He was
on the Wheeling in Alaskan waters
| during the summer.
Ensign Wurtzbaugh was here on the
Adams last year. He saw service dur
ing the Santiago campaign. Ensign
Knox was in Cuba and visited Havana
under a flag of truce in negotiations
with General Blanco. Paymaster Per-
| kins is a son of Senator Perkins of

The meeting Of the Horticultural So

At the beginning, Mrs. Corey said
that the subject was so broad that 1t
was only possible to take up the early

of child life, she said, that needed

Baker Lead Company
May Enter
LEAD PIPE TRUST
Negotiations Are Now Pen
ding for It's Absorption.

Worcester continues to be fertile
field for the trusts.
1t is now rumored that the Baker
Lead Manufacturing Company of this
city is in the vision of the lead com
bine.
A representative of A. II. Jones and
Caldwell of Philadelphia was recently
in town, and preached absorption to
Peter Baker, the leader in Worcester
lead pipe manufacture.
The representative of this company,
which is one of the leading lead pipe
ker if he would enter the combine in
case he were asked. From this con-
ference further developments are eX-
pected.
1t was reported yesterday that Mr..
Baker had been offered $4,000 for the
plant and business, as q branch con-
Germ of the American Lead Pipe Com
pany, and that the locel industry
would become the property of the trNst
at once.
Mr.. Baker denied that there was any
truth in this rumor, and as he is pres
lueHI VI IHe company anu also resi-
dent manager, all negotiations of this
kind would come through him. He
owns controlling interest in the car
poration, and while other members
might have received offers for their
interests, this would be unavaling, as
Mr.. Baker himself holds the key to
the situation in the majority Of the
stock.
Since the visit of the American Lead
Pipe Jobbers' Company, q short time
ago, he has received no word, although
further developments may be revealed
any day. The jobbers IN lead PHI e
etc, are forming a combine to en-
brace all the leading lead pipe man
| ufacturers in the country. The scheme
| is to secure the entrance into the trust
of the principal concern in each city
and as the Baker Manufacturing Com
pany has a more than local prestige
his concern was singled out for the
| Worcester representative.

pany was incorporated under the laws
of the state. and has a paid in capital

legged Swndler.

A man who gives the name of Frank
O. Allen, So years old, and represents
himself as the representative of the
Emerson Drug company of New York,
was arrested yesterday forenoon by In
spectors O'Day and Stone charged with
false pretence.
Allen came to Worcester one week
ago today, and hired a room in the

himself as an agent for the above
named drug company, and said he came
TO Worcester for the purpose of secur-
ing demonstrators, who were to go
about the country expounding the mer-
its of a certain brand of bromo settler.
Allen visited several of the employ
ment offices in this city, and tried to
make arrangements for securing the
services of young women to act in
this capacity. At one office where his
proposition was not taken under con-
slderat1on, he stipulated that the appli-
Giants must be young and pretty, no 9TH
er accomplishments being necessary.
An arrangement was finally made
with the proprietor of the employment
agency at 4O6 Main street, whereby the
agent was to advertise for young wom-
en- meeting the above requirements. and
tnat as last as the young women APP
pied, they were to be directed tn Al

ca under arrest. He had pocketbook,

NOT THE RIGHT ANsWE RS.
Mr Erving WInsIow's Views Are Not Meet
ing With Great Success in Kansas.

An Alma, Kansas, paper says:
IF Erving Winslow, secretary of the
Anti-imperialist league of Washington,
meets with the same kind Of success all
over the country as that in Wabaunsse
county, he will be forced to conclude
that this is a cold. unfeeling world.
His plan is to inaugurate 100000
MEN postal card chain, protesting to the
president and congress against any ex-
tension of sovereignty over the Phil
ippineS in any event, or over any other
territory without the consent of the
people thereof
"A bunch of these cards was sent to
Joseph Little of near Eskridge, and
here are eight of the ten answers to
the appeal:

FOOD LEAVES"
Interesting Points in the New Philosophy
of History.

A select audience had the pleasure
of listening to an interesting lecture by
William Justin Mann at Memorial hall
last evening. 1t was the second of Mr..
Mann's series of America and the
new philosophy of history" and
treated of the settlement of the coun-
try and the period of civilization.
The speaker traced the sad condition
OF affairs IN Europe before and during
the time that the Pilgrim fathers left
the shores of the old country to try to
found more peaceful homes in the
Wilderness. Every country in Europe
was devastated and desolated by war,
peaceful homes were in ruins. In the
midst of all this bloodshed. however,
two men had beautiful dreams of
peace. Henry ", Frances great king,
dreamed of a great commonwealth of
all the states and a senate composed
Of their several rulers, which was to
assure the peace of Europe. Each state
was to supply an army and armament
sufficient for police purpose and the
keeping of order. But for his untimely
| assassination, this great peace congress
might have been the browning glory of
Henry of Navarro and might have adj
Nanced civilization several centuries.
The other peace advocate was young
Milton. who in his ode to the Nativ-
ity,' voiced a spirit far in advance of
the times in which he lived.
Mr.. Mann then spoke of the food
leaves of history" Just as certain
| food leaves in biology appear for the
sustenance of the main leaf which de-
velops later, so in history do certain
influences act upon later events. The
food leaves" of American history, he
said, We're the influence of Greece and
the influence of Israel Greece gave art
and literature. Israel, God and the
idea of unity. The speaker devoted a
! large share of his lecture to the de-
veloping Of the share that these two
food leaves" had in the shaping of
| American history.

If Gen. H. V. Boynton knows what
he is talking about, the attacks upon
the war department are only the re-
suit of newspaper conspiracy, formed
in Washington early in the war, for
the purpose of offsetting the prestige
that was certain to come from the sue
cessful conduct of affairs, and thus pre-
venting the reelection of Mckinley.
That may be, but it appears that up to
date the conspirators have only sue
ceeded in making life very uncomfort-
able for Alger. The president has more
than retained his popularitv.
