Where We Get Our Living.

A great many Louisiana farmers
think they live at home, but they
don't. Almost everything they
use comes from some other State.
The following description Of how
and where an Arkansas farmer
gets his necessities taken from
the Little Rock Republican, sp-
plies also to the Louisiana farmer
carefully: .... ..,..er -. p.
He gets up at morning and
puts on a pair of socks made in
New York, shoes made in Boston,
pants made in Ohio, and then
slips pair of Connecticut sus-
penders over his shoulders. He
dips some water from q Missouri
bucket with Chicago dipper and
puts in into an Illinois pan. and
washes his face, using cake Of
st. Louis soap in the operation.
He dries his face on a Rhode Is.
land towel and roaches his hair
on q Vermont comb. He then
drinks Cuban coffee from an In
diana cup and saucer, sweetened
with Louisiana sugar and stirred
with a New York spoon. His
knife, fork and plate were made in
the North, his table cloth, ditto.
He eats piece of Chicago ham
fried in Kansas lard, sops his st.,
Louis biscuits, seasoned with Bos-
ton soda and Michigan salt into
Louisiana molasses. He wipes
his whiskers on Vermont nap
kin, shoves back his Michigan
chair and gets up from q table
from the same state. His meal
was cooked on q st. Louis stove
with wood chopped with a st,
Louis Ak and hauled on an Indi-
ana wagon.
"The citizen then puts a Boston
bride and harness on q Missouri
mule, gets out his Georgia plow
and works all day in a field in
numbered. in all probability, with
a New York mortgage. He re-
turns at night and satisfies his sp-
petite with another imported meal,
fills his Indiana lamp with PENN
sylvania oil and lights it with q
New York match. He then fills
his Illinois pipe with North Caro-
lima tobacco and settles down for.
q comfortable smoke. "When
bedtimes comes he takes down his
family bible which was printed in
Massachusetts,, reads q chapter,
says prayer composed of Jerusa-
lem, then retires to his imported
covers, and is kept awake for two
hours BY the howls of. his Louisi-
ana dog, which is about the only
home product he has in the house.

THE ARMY BILL
COMPROMISE EFFECTED AND THE
BILL WILL PASS AS
CHANGED.
Army of 0 10000, of Whom $4,000 Will
be known as the Provisional Army
and Will be Enlisted Until 1901
Similar to the Hull Bill il Many
Ways.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The admins
tratfon and its representatives in Con-
gress have reached an agreement with
the minority in Congress respecting the
army reorganization bill, which it is
believed will be satisfactory to all in
terested.
1t Is probable that the formal ratifi-
cation of the agreement between the
majority and the minority will soon be
had. The compromise is based on an
army of one hundred thousand, of
whom $4,000 will be known as the pro-
visional army and will be enlisted to
serve until 1901.
Arrangements are made for a full
staff corps as in the Hull bill, and gen
orally speaking it is said that the ar
rangement effected saves the features
of that measure, which is regarded as
o essential, while meeting in a
large measure the objection of the ma
jority based on the fear that the egu-
lar establishment as to be permanently
increased.
The president this morning had a
conference with Senators Allison, Haw-
ley, Platt of Connecticut, Hanna,
Spooner and Carter on the compromise.
1t is believed that the agreement reach
ed removed nearly all danger of an ex-
ira session.
A democratic senator who has been
prominent in arranging the compro-
mise on the army bill, said this after
noon that the compromise was prac-
tically arranged.
we give the administration all the
men and money they want he said,
"and only insist upon a limitation as to
time"
He adds that the limitation for the
entire increase was the first of July,
1901, and said he had no doubt the re-
publicans would accept.

The Oregon is likely to remain here
two or three weeks. The Hololulu Iron
works is engaged in some repairs for
her which will take at least ter days
% complete.
There was an accidental death on the
voyage on the transport Senator from
San Francisco to Honolulu. At 8

REVIVAL

The weather and social functions
seem to be no barrier to the interest in
the meetings at the Presbyterian
church. Last night the house was full
of serious, thoughtful people who gave
the most careful attention to the dis
course of Evangelist Rankin on "The
Power of the Gospel of Christ" His
sermon was replete with touching and
forceful illustration, and although he
spoke for an hour no one seemed list
less or Indifferent. AS usual a number
responded to the invitation, coming
forward and giving their names. Rev.
Andrew Cornick was present and made
a few very acceptable remarks at the
close OF the sermon On Saturday night
there will be a meeting of the session
OF the church to receive all who may
come for examination for church mem
bership. On Sunday afternoon at 8
O'Clock a mass meeting will be held
at the Methodist church to be address,
ed by Evangelist Rankin, to which all
are cordially invited. The music will
be a special feature. Rev. Warner Is ar
ranging to go on with meetings in his
church on Monday night

IRON TRADE Is SENSATIONAL.
Bessemer Pig Goes to s12-Steel Bill
lets Go Up 81 a Ton.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 23.-The Iron
Trade Review in its issue this week
says:
THE present market week has been
one Of sensation and excitement. 1t has
shown more plainly than any other that
the present upward movement in the
iron trade is to assume all the phases
and proportions of a boom.
"A jump of nearly 50 a ton in steel
billets caused by sales of 1000 tons at
Pittsburg, and Bessemer pig iron going
to $12 valley furnace at a single bound
on sales of 5000 tons to the Carnegie
Steel company, are startling evidences
Of the possibilities of the situation. 1t
is to be considered that such prices
have been secured on a comparatively
small tonnage and that mills and furn-
aces are shipping and will continue t o
ship for some time products sold far
below this basis, but this is the market
and every such advance will do its part
in establishing the figures On which the
business of the second half of the year
is done.
"Details of consolidation movements
have been actually worked up in the
week. 1t is announced that the Ma
tional Steel company, the Old Mar
quette Range company, which has taxi
en- out more ore in the last forty years
than n other Lake Superior interest,
and has large and well developed re-
serves.
Another deal closed is the purchase
by the Cleveland Rolling Mill company
for the wire combine of Emma Furnace
of Cleveland, adding 100 900 ton a year
to the American Steel and Iron cam
pany's large supply.
There is ample evidence that in fin
ished products the demand that will
come with the opening of the season
will find the mills quite incapable or
furnishing material as it is wanted

FILIPINOS MAKE DENIAL,
American Shells Said to be Cause of
Fire at Manila.

Paris, Feb. 23.-Agents in this city Of
the Fflipinos have received news from
Iloilo saying that the outbreak of fire
there was not the work of the natives.
but was started by the American shells.
When the attack commenced the Fill
pinos and the foreign residents were
endeavoring to persuade General Lo-
PEI, the Filipino commander, to sub
init, as Iloilo was not fortified and was
therefore not in a position to resist the
American attack.
The whole commercial quarter of
1loilo, it apears. was destroyed, with
four-fifths Of the rest of the town. Fin
ally, the Filipinos say, the foreign res
idents subsequently met, protested
against the bombai1lment and resolv-
ed to put in claims for damages.
, 1899-02-24

and as they arec losely built, the raw
ages Of a single fire in a quarter so
closely constructed might easily reach
the half million dollar point mentioned
by General Otis.
The foreign quarter is Of better con-
struction, but still includes many of
these light bamboo houses which the
older residents seem to find cooler than
houses of more solid construction. The
walled town which the insurgents
threatened to burn tonight, <is said to
be of substantial construction and prob
ably mor easily defended against such
an attempt than any other section of
the town.
The officials here say that if the reb-
nels continue this sort of tactics in
Manila d~isregarding the rules of war
and placing in danger the lives of wo-
men and children and foreigners who
are not involved in the war, General
Otis will be under the necessity of MAX
in a house to house inspection and
summarily d~isposing of ali suspicious
characters.
The attorney general has sustained
the opinion Of the judge advocate gen
eral of the wal department. in the cele-
brated case Of the Cortez brothers of
Manila, and has notified General Otis
the Cortez family all of their property
now held by military authority in the
archipelago.

Manila, Feb. 23.-Adjutant General
Washington: Determined efforts to

MANY ATTACKS ARE MADE.
Insurgents About Manila Showing
Much Activity.

Manila, Feb. 90, sos p. m.-With day
light this morning the enemy began
worrying tactics at various parts of the
American line, apparently for the pur-
pose of withdrawing attention from af-
fairs inside the city.
An attempt vas made to rush
through our extreme left, neal Calico
can, but it was promptly checked by a
hot and effective musketry and artil-
lery fire.
In the meantime, small bodies of reb-
els, evidently some of those engaged
last night in the cowardly work at Ton
do, spread out between the city and the
outposts. Every available mar was
sen to drive them away. with the re-
suit that there was desultory firing all
the morning.
From 8 to 1890 a. m. the United
States double-turreted monitor Monad-
mock joined in the engagement, hurl-
ing 1O-inch shells over the American
lines into bodies OF the enemy indicat-
ed by the signal corps. So far, our cas-
ualties are one man killed and ten mel
wounded.
At II o'clock there was a sharp en-
gagement at the Chinese cemetery m
at San Pedro Macati, almost simui-
taneously, but the artillery from both
positions drove the enemy back.
From the high towers of the city,
fires can be seen burning at different
points outside. Some OF these are prob
ably due to the Monadnock's shells. 1t
is currently reported that the natives
have threatened to buru Escolata, and
the walled city tonight.
Scores of rebels have been arrested
in the Tondo district. A band of sixty
rebels, having two carloads Of arms
and accoutrements, was captured in a
house. Business is temporarily sus-
pended.
Major General Otis today issued a
general order directing all the inhabi-
tants Of Manila, until otherwise order
ed, to confine themselves TO their homes
at 7 o'clock in the evening, when the
streets will be cleared by the police.
The general also warns incendiaries,
and says they will be severely dealth
with.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken for the suppression of further
trouble which is threatened to take
place in the city tonight. But 1t Is
generally believed that last nights ex-
%perience will sffectually quell the dis
turbing element.
Fire has been burning in the Tondo

MORE PARTICULARS OF WRECK.
Brakeman Shingles Close Call-Was
Talking to Parry.

]. c. Parry was in the chair car en-
gagged in conversation with Brakeman
Shingle, says the Sun-Leader. He did
not attempt to jump out the window
as has been reported. The conclusion
threw him half way through the win
dow and when the car toppled he was
crushed. The injured man was quickly
rescued and made comfortable on a
cot in one of the cars that passed over
the break. He was in terrible pain and
delerious and died in less than a half
hour.
Conductor Woodmansee was in the
fifth car from the engine, or the first
car that was derailed. The car rode
the ties for some distance, but did not
topple over. AS quickly as possible, the
conductor pulled for air. The train
was going at a rate of of forty miles an
hour and was nearly on time. The en-
gines and cars stopped about $50 yards
from the broken rail. The cars de-
rallied Immediately because detached by
the topping movement. There were
a large number of passengers on the
train and the vast majority were very
much excited and were running about
in great distress. Soon, however, ev-
erybody under the leadership of Con-
ductor Woodmansee got down to the
work of caring for the injured. AS
quickly as possible, a messenger reach
ed Simpson and telegraphed Rawlins
for aid. Four physicians were on the
scene in an hour and a half, which was
very good time considering that Raw
Inns was thirty-eight miles away and a
special train had to be made up. The
wounded received excellent care and
we're ordered brought to Cheyenne
where they arrived early this morning
and were made comfortable. Those
with slight injuries went on to their
homes while others are still at the In
ter Ocean. The remains of Mr.. Parry
we're shipped to his nome, 1915 Wazee
street, Denver, Colo, today. Conduc-
tor Woodmansee. loaded all the passen-
gers on the first four cars and came on
east, On account of a wreck at Hutton,
the train was further delayed and ar
rived here at 7:3O this morning.
