FIESTA OF NORTH AMERICA

Fourth OF July Celebrated In Manila.
America sung In Many Tongues.
MANILA, July 4.-There was a great
celebration of the Fourth here to-day
with fireworks. bands, speeches n
decorations everywhere, all rationale
ties participating. The foreign ships
and ~consulates, including the Spanish,
raised their. colors in conjunction with
the stars and stripes. The hagships
fired a national salute at noon.
All nationalities enjoyed what the
Spanish papers term Fiesta Of North
America" Newsboys shouted Fourth
of July editions. soldiers paraded the
town throwing frecrackers from the
batteries ON the water front. In the
afternoon the Lunet was crowded with
Americans, Flipinos and Spaniards.
There were thousands of pedestrians
and hundreds of carriages there
for the concert, directed by Bandmaster
Carl Oindt, of the Sixth artillery band.
A hundred Filipinos played American
tunes.
Several hundred boys and girls, Fill
ipinos, SpaniardS and Chinese, from the
public schools. dressed in their best
clothes, each carrying an American
flag, sang America in a curious mix
ture of dialects. Chaplain Knudsden,
of the Washington regiment, read the
Declaration of Independence.
The officers of the United States
cruiser Baltimore gave a reception and
dance which was attended by the for
eign consuls, the officers of the for
eign warships and all the society of
the army and navy circle. Col. DENLY
presided at the celebration at the SOL
diers' club, where Mr.. 0. F. Williams,
United States consul, and others de-
livered addresses. The officers Of the
Colorado regiment gave a reception at
the regimental barracks and there were
several dances during the evening.
A general celebration at night vas
rendered impracticable by the law re-
curing the streets to be cleared at
half past eight O'Clock p. m.
Tomorrow the Bennington will take
Prot, Schurman to Hong Kong, from
which point he will sail for Japan, to
pay a short visit there before leaving
for the United States. Admiral Dewey,
Col. DENLY, Prof. Worcester and Prof.
Schurman will meet in Washington
during the autumn to compile a report
Of the commissions labors.
The commission recently investigated
the question of currency and the
Chinese problem, as it presents itself
here. A large majority of business
men wish to continue on a silver basis.
There are a few, however, who favor
the gold basis, or the adoption of the
japanese system.
The Filipinos are anxious to exclude
Chinese labor. On the other hand,
many large employers prefer Cinnamon,
asserting that they are most efficient,
although the element of %cheapness
doubtless influences this view.

WARM CHIL'EN.

The warmest excursion that has
struck this city for some time came up
from Bellaire on the tugboat Eliza and
an excursion barge this afternoon. The
excursion was under the auspices of
the Happy Three" a trio of Bellaire
colored gentlemen, and in the party
there was a fair %sprinkling of white
men and Plenty of refresh
ments, liquid and solid, were served on
the boat, but apparently the liquid sort
had the call. When the boat landed
the captain refused to pay wharfage,
but after a spirited argument with AS
sistant Wharfmaster Daley he reluct-
antly produced the cash. The boat
was advertised to go to Browns Island
and when the excursionists learned
they were dumped here they threatened
trouble until the colored and white
band struck up s'Thre's a Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight" which SEEM

EXTENSIVE improvements
To Be Carried Out BY the Wheeling
Railway Go.
ALL CARS TO TOWNS ON THE
OHIO SIDE TO BE RUN VIA.
BRIDGEPORT-THE SERVICE
GENERALLY TO BE GREATLY
IMPROVED.

The Wheeling Railway Company did
not complete its connections ait Bridge
port yesterday, as was expected, and as
a consequence the proposed new sys-
TEN of running cars between this city
and the suburban towns on the Ohio
side was not ~inaugurated.
It is the general idea of the Company
to make the corner of Fourteenth and
Market streets the centre of traffic for
Martins Ferry, Bridgeport, the out-the-
pike district west of Bridgeport, and
Bellaire, and to ultimately run through
cars for all these points via. Bridge
port, abandoning the present route up
North Huron street and across the
Aetnaville bridge. Between Bridge
port and Martins Ferry a number of
additional sidings are to be laid down,
which will greatly facilitate the opera
ton of cars, as former long waits will
be obviated. Additional long switches
will also probably be laid on the Bel
laire line, and with these improvements
cars can run as fast as though there
was a continuous double track.
The company had all these improve
ments, as we'll as others not now spec
flied, laid out prior to the late strike,
but the labor troubles necessarily
caused a stoppage in the projected i'm
p~rovements. These will now be carried
out as rapidly as possible, and the re-
suit will be a great public benefit in
the way of rapid transit between the
city proper and the towns o. the Ohio
side. The improvements will cost a
large amount of money, but it is the
policy of the company to so adjust its
plant as to give the best possible ser
vice, and if not Immediately remunera-
tive, it will be in the long run
Other improvements, not connected
with those enumerated on the Ohio
side of the river, are in contemplation,
and the whole, when completed, will
make the system far superior to what
it has been the last few years. The
company has progressive ideas, and in
tends to carry them out as speedily as
possible. Had it not been for the
strike some of these plans would have
been in operation by this time.

WASHINGTON, Pa, July 4.-Dr.
James l. Brownson, the venerable pas

noted divines and prominent educators
in the United States, died here this
evening aged 50 years. DIR. Brownson

this late illness he was never sick a
day in his life, and during his entire

he still retained much of his old vigol
of mind.

A STRANGE MURDER.
A Young Wife Shot Down in Her Husbands
Presence-Murdcrer Kissed His Dying

Victim.
ST. LOUIS, July AIRS. Grace Mil
Ter, the young wife of VIM. Miller, a
grocer, was shot to death to-day by
her husbands clerk, Eugene Donnelly.
After the woman had fallen, mortally
wounded, Donnelly leaned over and
kissed her. He retreated with a warn
ing to the frenzied husband who had
witnessed the farewell caress, not to
follow on penalty of his life. 1t is be-
lieved that Donnelly was infatuated
with Mrs. Miller and that the killing
was done in a spasm of jealousy.
Donnelly surrendered himself at a
police station several hours later. He
claimed he had shot Mrs. Miller pure
ly through accident"
