AGAIN OPEN FIRE.

Manila, Feb. S.--The Filipinos al
Caloocan opened fire last evening just
before midnight, upon the Kansas
outposts on the extreme left OF tho
American line, They maintained
fusilade OF musketry, supplemented By
an occasional shot from two big guns
for about twenty minutes. The Amer
leans did not reply, the enemy firing
at long range, and nobody was hurt.
All was quiet along the rest OF the
line and there was no change In tho
American position during the night.
The provost guard Is In absolute
control Of Manila. All fears Of an
uprising In the city were dispcllcd by
the prompitude which quelled the out
break on Monday evening. The
streets we're deserted last evening by
nine o'clock and not u light was to be
seen In the native quarter.
The situation today Is practically
unchanged. The American line has
not been approciably extended, and
the troops generally are taking much
needed rest.

ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR.
Meeting OF Wisconsin Grand Chapter,
I'm Milwaukee, Feb. ~. 1899.


I'm Milwaukee, Feb. ~. 1899.
The ninth annual session of the
Grand Chapter Of the Order of the
Eastern Star of the state of Wiscon-
sin will convene in the Masonic Build
ing, corner Jefferson and Oneida
streets, In Milwaukee, at two O'Clock.
Wednesday afternoon, February %,
1899.
A resolution was adopted one year
ago fixing the hour of opening Grand
Chapter at 1880 p. m. on Wednesday,
but as this change would be an
amendment to the constitution, the
Grand Matron holds that the change
cannot be made until the constitution
is properly amended.
The Plankinton House will be the
headquarters OF the Worthy Grand
Matron during the session. A recep-
ton will be given by the Grand
officers In the arcade and parlors of
this hotel, on Tuesday evening, to
which all representatives and mem
bers OF the Grand Chapter are invited.
The rates for delegates who may de-
sire to stop ut the Plankinton House
while In the city, will be two dollars
per day, where two occupy the same
room: tWO-ffty II the room Is occupied
by but one person.
The Committee on Credentials will
be in session at the Planlinton House
during the reception on Tuesday even
ing, and at the Office OF the Grand
Secretary, Ago Jefferson street, in the
Masonic Building, Wednesday fore
noon. Representatives and members
will greatly aid the business of the
Grand Chapter by reporting promptly
and fully.
Arrangements have been made for
reduced railroad fare by those attend
ing the Grand Chapter, but in order
to secure the same IL Is absolutely
necessary that receipts be taken for
fare paid coming to Milwaukee, said
receipts to be deposited with the
Grand Secretary, on the first day of
the session. This information should
be given to all members of the order,
who contemplate coming to the Grand
Chapter.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

In an editorial article under the
heading "The Coming Rise In Raw
Materials and Manufactures, The
New York Sun of Feb. 3, says:
"Undoubtcdly the most singular
and striking feature OF the great inn
of the county during the past year, IL
that II has been thus far attended with
comparatively little appreciation In
the value OF the products OF our SOIL
and our factories
"Stocks and bonds have doomed,
but grain, cotton, leather, cotton and
wooden cloths, steel rails and billcts,
and all the host Of things that we
raise or manufacture have had, reln-
lively, no rise to speak Of, Cotton,
iron and our cereals arc now selling
upon nm absolutely supply and de-
mand basis"
The Sun, however, holds that this
quiet state of things can last but little
longer, and referring to the condition
OF our grain trade, IL points out IL few
important facts for the encouragement
OF the farmer:
"The small wheat crop In foreign
countries has caused " reduction of
our store Of that cereal so large that
our stock OF II IL now almost ut the
lowest point In our history, and while
there IL not what can be called an
actual wheat scarcity, 1t Is evident
that another crop failure, either In
whole or In part, In the coming sea-
son, even In any one OF the great
grain producing countries OF the
world, would cause IL material i'd
vance In the price Of wheat here.
Stocks of grain, In short, all over
tho world, are small, consumption has
overtaken productions; and until the
granaries OF the world arc again
filled with surplus reserves, M they
were Ave or ak years ago, grain
prices are likely TO advance rather
than recode. Our. great corn harvests
of the last two or three years, and the
low prices at which the cereal sold i,
resulted In Its use abroad on an cnor-
nous scale, and Its export there In
quantities previously unheard of. IT
has become extensively used In Europe
as food for animals, although ten
years ago the exports of 1t for this
or any other purpose were practically
nothing. Now that this new use has
arisen, the exports of American corn
are likely to continue, even II the
price Is higher, n fact which must be
considered Ia estimating tho prosper
itv of the American farmer for coming
years.
The spirit Of expansion seems To he
in the air, and as Americas COM
morcinl greatness depends upon the
extension of her trade relations To
every part of the globe, the events OF
the past year viii IN the end doubtless
prove TO have been momentous for us.
The Sun views the expansion idea
with great favor, and IN Wow of trade
demands likely to be made upon us
says:
"rhe business outlook for lSo9 rot
the farmer, the artisan, the manutact
urer and for every sort of American
in fact, was never brighter than II Il
