IMPORTANT EXPEDITION.
Manila, Their Destination supposed
to BE Some Nor hern Fort.

MANILA, Nov. 7.-Sunday evening a
feet of transports and gunboats left
Manila for the most important expe-
dition of the autumn campaign. Its
destination is supposed TO be Bagupan
or some other northern port. Gen.
Wheaton commands, with brigade
consisting of 18th infantry, the SD
infantry, the guns Of the 9th artillery
and two Gatlings The transports
Sheridan, Francisco De Reyes and
Actec carry the troops, with the gun
boat Helena as escort.
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to
arrange a rendesvouz with the United
States cruiser Charleston and the
other warships that are patrolling the
north coast of Luzon.
The landing will be made under
cover of the guns of the feet. 1t is
assumed here that the purpose Of the
expedition is to move down the Dagu-
pan-M Manila railroad toward Tarlac or
TO prevent Aguinaldo's forces making
another base farther north. Dagupan
and Apparri are the strongholds of the
insurgents in the north and it is sup
posed the points where most of he
tiiibustering parties land.
Since the beginning of the hostil.
ties it has been the unanimous opinion
of military experts here that Dagupan
should be made a base of operations,
but sufficient troops have heretofore
been lacking. With Gems. Wheaton
Macarthur and Lawton moving upon
Tarlac from three directions, and the
mountains hemming in the other side,
the insurgent capital will soon become
untenable.
Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his
headquarters to the RIGA tobacco coun
try at the northern end of the island.
Possibly he may slide around Gen
| Lawton's front to the southern prov
noes; but, as MacArthurs and Law.
toms troops are spread across The
country from Angeles to Cabanatuan
it will be d ficult for the insurgent
to escape.
Should the concerted operations sue
coed, organ zed instruction on larrt
scale should be at an end early mex
spring, although guerilla warfare i
likely to continue for long time. NJ
one anticipates that the insurgent
will make many hard battles. Tn
problem is to move the troops abou
the country to maintain transporto
ton and to hold the territory gained

the closing ordinance was observed

owe it to themselves and to the com
mdnity to assist in the absolute OBJ
servance of the law. If there are in

they call the attention of the police to
it. Keep the law and see that others

NeighbOrhOOd TeleghOne Lines for
Farmers.

The time is undoubtedly coming
very rapidly when the isolation of the
farmer will become mitigated, owing
to "neighborhood telephone lines," by
means of which they can communi-
cate with each other without refer
ence to the condition of roads or press
of work. A local paper of an inland
city in New York State describes an
interesting line where the subscribers
constructed the line, furnishing the
tools and doing the work themselves
the expense for wire, Instruments
ETC., was equally divided among them
and the cost was only about $l4 pei
share. The line, of course, is free to
subscribers, but others can make use
of it by the payment of small fee
At present there are ten subscribers
to the line.-Scientifi American.

Main street in Louisville like slaves
in order that the national honor might
be preserved"

Thoughts on Missions, Social and
Commercial.
(Christian Standard. }

Admiral Freemsntle Is reported TO
have said that everv missionary who
went to Central Africa did more TO-
ward the abolition of the slave trade
than half dozen of Her Majesty 3
cruisers.
An English Consul expresses the
opinion that undoubtedly commercial
interests are advanced by the pres
ence of the missionaries in districts of
the interior which are never visited
by merchants. The hostility of the
natives toward foreigners lie, he says,
appreciably diminished by mission
aries living among them.
1t is said on good authority that
China has made more progress in the
last year than in the thousand years
preceding. It is true that the EN-
peror has been deposed and some of
his advisors have been beheaded but
for every reformer who lost his head
thousand will spring up to take his
place and to carry on the work.
Bishop Tugwell says the two
thoughts increasingly impressed him
in his journeyings through Africa
were the ardor, devotion and courage
of the British naval, military and
commercial world; second, the APP
athy and indifference of the English
church. Men are found in large num-
bers willing to brave the dangers of
the climate at the call of the Queen.
1t is difficult to get men fully equipped
to go out and endure similar hard
ships in preaching the gospel.
Admiral Belknsp said: II assert
without fear of contradiction that
there is not an official, merchant OF
other person, from emperors, viceroy
governors, judges, generals, ministers,
admirals, merchants and others down
, to the lowest coolies in China, Japan,
Siam and Korea, who, in their asso-
Citations and dealings with their fell
lowmen in that quarter of the globe,
are not indebted every day of their
lives to the work and achievements OF
the American missionaries.
Miss Laitch tells of how the native
christians of Ceylon contribute for the
Lords work. Each morning, when q
christian measures out the rice fol
the day, so many handfuls for hel
husband, for each child. for herself
she takes one handful or more and
puts it into box marked, "The
Lords Box" From time to tine the
church treasurer visits all the chris.
tian homes, collects the rice from
these boxes, sells it, and sends the
money to the native missionary soci.
