SAME OLD STORY.

The fake Franklin syndicate that sue
ceeded in swallowing the hard-earned
money of so many choice dupes through
out the country is one of the gigantic
swindles of the age and is an illustra-
ton of the astounding gullibility of
that large body known to the slick
gentry of Wall street as "the public"
In fact. Wall streets public" would
seem TO be the easiest mark in the
whole sucker" category. This is amp
ly proven by the fact that the same
public" year after year is regularly
feeced of hundreds of millions of dol
lars by the same old game in Wall
street.
But. while it is easy to understand
how the shrewdest will be taken in"
in Wall street, which carries on the
slickest game of bunco and skin"
gambling in the whole world-a game
that is backed by multi-millionaires
and good church members-it is not
so easy to comprehend how sane men
will be deceived by such transparent
swindle as that carried on so openly
by the Franklin Syndicate. There was
SWINDLE in large letters written
all over the bait offered the public of
10 per cent. profit a week or $40 per
cent. year. If any syndicate had
such lead pipe cinch" as that does
any one suppose for a moment that
they :. iuld let anyone else, much less
the general public, "in'' on it? Nom
sense! Those gentlemen would have
guarded their tremendously profitable
secret like hawks and would have. be-
eome nsnli-millionaires In . short

Inasmuch as the natives of the island
of Mindanao have been friendly to the
Americans the Importance of the sur
render of the province of Zamboango
is not exactly clear. Still, as the news
was received by the President and his
advisors with 'unconcealed satisfac-

of this friendly territory will at least
prevent Aguinaldo getting hold of it
that is, of course, if Otis does not pur-

Awful Havoc of tho Tornado at Newton.
Mo-, Thirteen Dead,

mNp AuNNooH bohu
CHmMooTHE, Mo-, April co. - The
tornado which struck Newton, n small
town forty miles north OF Chlllicothe,
yesterday afternoon, quarter TO 9
o'clock, killed thirteen persons and
wounded twenty eight others. The
storm came from the southwest and
lasted only five minutes
When II was over the sun came out
ON scene OF ruin. Twenty houses
were wrecked. A street in tho south.
west part OF tho town, on which was
row OF ten houses, received the full
force OF the storm, and scarcely any
body in that nelghborhood escaped
death or injury. The row OF hous es
was entirely demolished,
s. Dcsper and his family were caught
under tho falling walls OF their house
and crushed TO death. The bodies Of
Desper, his wife and three children
were found, Mrs William Hays was
killed while running up tho street In
search Of shelter. Her head was sew
cred from hor body, Mrs, Hays hus-
band and two children were killed.
Three others OF her children were
wounded
Twelve bodies lie on the depot plat
form at Newtown this morning, One
other death Is reported, but the name
Is not known.
The people were taken by surprise
and q few of them had the presence OF
mind to seek shelter in cellars before
the storm was upon them. The walls
OF buildings fell with crash that
sounded above the roar Of the storm,
burying persons In the ruins Frame
buildings were twisted aud lifted from
their foundations. Many were utterly
demolished, pieces of them being car
ried for miles. Others were shisted In
position, but were apparently unhurt,
One house was turned squarely around,
another was turned upside down, but
neither of them seemed to be badly
damaged by the shaking up.
The entire eastern half OF the town
was destroyed. The path Of the
storm was about $40 or 600 feet wide,
and hardly dwelling in its course
escaped Fifty persons at least are
homeless
A thunder storm followed the tor
nado. Women and children ran about
the streets shrieking. Men searched
the ruins in the drenching rain, hop
ing to locate the bodies Of victims,
The news Of the loss Of life and the
number of wounded was telegraphed
to Chillicothe and physicians were re-
quested TO come from this city, A

PEACE NEWS PLEA&S THEM
Possibility Of Cessation Of HostlI-
tiles Well Received by Soldiers.
FlLIPINOs GIVEN MORE TIME,

MANILA May /, While II is the
general expectation among Americans
that tho Filipino emissarles will no.
turn with revised proposals from Gen
eral Antonio Luna, Major General
Otis Is not letting this prospect inter.
fere with his preparations for pushing
the war. Yesterday he ordered Major
General Lawton to return TO Angat, q
few miles northwest Of Norzagaray,
and not TO advance aggressively while
tho negotiations are pending. General
Macarthur is apparently acting upon
the Same policy, but no is repairing
bridges and strengthening the lines OF
his force, which Is stretched out with
4.mlle front and within quarter OF
q mile OF the enemy
The possibilities Of peace are graf
flying TO n great majority Of the army,
who have regarded tho war as an un.
pleasant duty that must be performed
according to American traditions,
Manila Is cheerful over the prospects
of return TO normal life, though
there are sleptics who remark that a
truce would enable the insurgents to
rest until the rainy season, upon
which they have been depending as
an important aid.
The prisoners report that there are
70, 900 refugees north Of San Fernando.
This Is not impossible, considering the
thiclsly populated region which the
Americans have cleared, II seems
also that smallpox Is spreading among
them.
When Dean @ Worcester Of the
United States Philippine commission,
who accompanied the Filipino ennis"
saries from Calumplt, said to Colonel
Manuel Arguelles that the Americans
were under no obligations to refrain
from lighting, the Filipino officer said;
would you fight while we are dis
cussing terms Of peaceP"
Mr. Worcester responded with the
suggestion that an armistice would
give the Filipino leaders time to es'
cape
my God, where would we escape
toP" the Filipino exclaimed, referring
in this to the menacing hostile tribes
behind the Filipino lines
Colonel Arguelles said that he was
much disappointed in the result of his
mission. He said also that Aguinaldo
expected Calumpit to be the cemetery
Of the American army.
Lieutenant Colonel Wallace Of the
First Montana regiment, Major Adams
and Major Shields, who slept on Fri
day night in General Luna's camp,
where they went to inform the Filipi-
nos that their ENJOYS would return In
safety, found the Filipino commander
cordial, the Filipino troops removing
their hats as the Americans passed.
The Filipinos complained to them that
the Americans used explosive bullets,
which is not the fact. The American
officers retorted that the copper shells
used by the Filipinos are worse than
explosive bullets. General Luna said
he regretted being obliged to kill
Americans, but that was his business.
