killed, the wounded being greatly in ex-
cess OF that number. The American loss
!. is 50 killed and 276 wounded with %
missing or unaccounted for.
The Filiplnos who are not members Of
the insurgent army, have taken to the
guerilla style OF warfare. The dense nm
gle furnishes splendid opportunity fer
this system and warfare IN this style may
be carried on for an indefinite time.
Iloilo was captured by the American
troops on Saturday last. The insurgents
had been given until evening to surrender
but their hostile action brought on an
engagement early in the day. The ineur-
gents fired the town but the flames were
extingulshed by the United States troops.

SENATOR PALMER OF Illinois Is old, blind

SENATOR PALMER of Illinois ls old, blind
and needy, He has done the country ser
vice both hs soldier and statesman. He
could have made money had be been as
intent upon serving his Individual inter-
ests while he was IN public service AS he
was the public. In his old age and
IN poverty, he was granted pension. 1t
was proposed TO pay him 500 per month,
but he deemed $50 sufficient. Poverty,
age aud past service plead strongly with
most men and rarely fail to bring TO the
surface that respect which is due to age,
the pity which poverty inspires and the
gratltud due for service. Palmer was the
candidaTe of the gold democrats for the
presidency 10 1896. Brucke, Michigan
democratic representative, when the bill
was on It's passage SAID it was pushed
through because of Palmers position dur
ing the campaign of 1896. A blackguard
from South Carolina, Talbot, moved that
the pension be paid in silver dollars.
These men have furnished their standard
OF manhood.

RELICS OF BUDDHA.
Remarkable Find the Nepaul
Frontier of India.

Calcutta correspondence of the London StandaFd.)
The King of Siam is sending an envoy
to India to receive the relics of Buddha
discovered some time ago on the Nepaui
frontier which were offered to his majesty
by the Indian government. The king, who
gratefully accepted the offer, has agreed to
distribute portions of the relics among the
Buddhists OF Burma and Ceylon from
Bangkok.
1t will probably be remembered that in
January last a well-preseryed stupa was
opened at the village of Pipra-Hwa on the
Nepaul frontier in the Basti district of the
northwest provinces. This village was in
the Birdpur grant, a large property owned
by William C. Peppe and his brother. In
side the building was found large stone
Golfer, crystal and steatite vases, bone and
ash relics, fragments of lime, plaster and
wooden vessels and q large quantity OF
| Jewels and ornaments placed in two vases
| in honor of the relics. A careful list was
| at once made of all the articles and Mr..
| Peppe generously offered to place them at
I the disposal of the government
| The special interest of the discovery lies
| in the fact that the relics of honor of whicn
the stupa was erected appear to be those
! of Gautama Buddha Sakya NUM- himself
and may be the actual share of the relics
taken by the Sakyas of Kapilavastir at the
| time of the cremation of Gautama Buddha
| The inscription on one OF the urns proves
| that the builders of the stupa believed the
relics to be those of Gautama Buddha HIM
self. 1t runs: This relic receptacle oi
