at the front, how would the adminis-
tration imperia1ssts like to shoulder a
Springfield or a Krag- Jorgensen In the
tropics with the mercury soaring near
100 in the deepest shade, and penetrate
a strange country full of the most ex-
traordinary obstacles-swamp, morass
and jungle-all the while fighting be-
sides the deadly climate and sunstroke
an entrenched and hidden foe thor
oughly armed and acquainted with the
country and at home and comfortable
under conditions that are deadly to
white men? How would the imperial
lists at home like to take the places OF
the volunteers they are SO free to criti-
else? Those gallant soldiers are sim
ply tired of that kind of fight
ing in a cause they did not enlist to
support and which does not appeal to
their patriotism, and decline to re-
enlist, since the government has pro-
fessional soldiers who may do this sort
of work. Our imperial friends may
soon have an opportunity to prove how
superior their brand of patriotism is to
that of the gallant fellows at the front,
whom they refer to as "homesick boys"
in need of "lollypop." A campaign of
a few months through the Philippine
jungle, wading swamp and morass,
swimming rivers, fighting elusive saw
ages, sunstroke and tropical fever, with
the sickly rainy season at hand, might
have tendency to work a great change
in the imperial ardor of some of our
most rabid imperialists who are now
comfortably bossing the job from the
rear.
1t is the right of the volunteers to
take advantage of the expiration Of
their term of enlistment to return to
the homes and the duties of citizenship
they so periodically left at their coun
try's call year ago. They have
proven their high sense of duty and
have not hesitated at any sacrifice &C.
manded of them by their country.
Their campaign in the Philippines has
been full of hardship and peril and
deeds of daring and bravery unsur-
passed by any army that history tells
of. The test of their loyalty and fidel
ity to the flag has been supreme. To
have the manhood and patriotism Of
these brave soldiers brought in ques
ton by a set of kid-gloved stay-at-
homes, who aim to coin the blood of
these soldiers into dollars for their own
pockets is just trifie too much for
honest Americans to stand without CIV
ing vent to their indignation.

MANILA, July %, 6:15 P. MA Fill
ipino priest named Gregorie Agripay,
with the insurgents, is trying to lead
movement for the independence of
the Church in the Philippines from
the Spanish priesthood. He has issued
proclamation declaring himself the
Vicar General of all the Filipino priests
in the districts outside Of American
control ON the Island of LuZon, and is
melting the priests to disobey the reg
ulations of the Church and brother
hood
The archbishop of the district has
issued a bull communicating Agri-
pay, and this action has increased the
feeling between the Filipinos and the
Church.
The archbishop threatened to ex-
communicate the owners OF Spanish
papers publishing announcements of
Protestant and Masonic meetings,
whereupon the American paper warI.-
ed him that he might be bundled out
of the island like any other disturoef
of the peace if he should incite rellg-
ious animosities.
The Dominican friars have begun the
publication of a newspaper under the
title of The Libertas, for the purpose
of defending the brotherhood.

In Memory OF Col Ingersell Held at
p oria. Yesterday.
PEORIA, ILL, July 23.-Memorial
services in honor of the late Col Rob-
ert G. Ingersoll, who was for many
years a prominent resident of Peoria,
were held in the tabernacle here this
afternoon. Over five hundred of the
dead orators old friends were in at
tendance, quite number being mem
bers of his old regiment, the Eleventh
Illinois cavalry. Addresses were de-
nvered by about twenty of his old as
sociates, neighbors, comrades and
friends and lengthy resolutions, laud-
ing his works of charity and his cour-
age in upholding his belief and extend
ing sympathy to his family were
adopted.
A movement toward the erection of
a monument to his memory in Glen
Oak Park in this city by popular sub
scription was inaugurated by the ap-
pointment of a committee of fifteen to
be known as the Ingersoll Memorial
Committee, to take charge of the solic-

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The War
Department to-day received from Gen.
Otis another despatch giving additional
particulars of the fight between Cap
tain B. A. Byrne, with seventy men of
the Sixth infantry, and robber bands in
the island of Negros. 1t shows that
the victory of the soldiers was greater
than that reported in Gen. Otis des-
patch of July 81, and that the loss suf-
fered by the robbers was considerably
larger than before stated. Much sat
isfaction is felt by Gen. Otis over the
results of this preliminary effort in
dealing with this disturbing element in
the island, and he reports it already as
having salutary effect on other bands
infesting the locality.

Meeting of Delegates from Trades
Unions Held in New York ;Yester-
day to Endorse the New Party
Idea.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Hundreds Of
delegates representing the trades unions
in the Greater New York were present
to-day at the regular meeting of the
Central Federated Union, at which the
organization of the new labor party
came up for discussion.
The project was enthusiastically en-
dorsed by the delegates, a number of
speeches being made in its advocacy. A
convention was formally called for Au-
gust 9TH, the place of meeting to be
announced later. Every union and re-
form body in the city of New York will

ganization will be affected.
AL the meeting to-day Samuel Prince,
president of the Central Federated
Union, presided Master Workman John
NJ. Parsons and District Master Work
man Pines were among the speakers
and the former spoke strongly in favor
Of the new political movement. He said
the time for action had arrived and that
the unions of this city must either show
their power as American people or go
down to destruction. He asked that a
treasurer be appointed to act as treasur-
er of the fund to be raised to aid the
strikers. This was done, and delegates
of various unions then pledged sums
ranging from 500 to $500 each and gave
assurances of more money if needed 1t
was decided also to institute boycott
against the Second avenue line, the line
affected in the present strike in New
York.
There was further talk on the strike
and one of the delegates denounced the
board of aldermen, saying:
They had $150,000 to give to enter
tain Admiral Dewey, but not a penny
for the poor strikers For them there
were policemen's night sticks and
prison cells"

THE DAY IN BROOKLYN.


NEW YORK, July 23-The fact that
cars were run on all Brooklyn lines
| under Roadway to-day shows that the
strike is practically dead. To the sea-
side resorts traffic was more general
than it was last Sunday, but the pub
lie did not take advantage of the i'm
proving service, probably owing to the
fear of possible disturbances which
have SO far marked the aftermath of
the strike.
Strike leaders admit that the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit Company ran more
cars to the seaside resorts to-day than
on any day since the strike was de-
clared. President Rossiter was jubi
liant on Saturday before leaving for
Cold Spring, and reiterated the state
ment that the strike practically was
over. He said: "The strike has oc-
casioned considerable trouble, of
| course, and has been very expensive to
our company, but l am glad to say that
nearly all the lines were able to run
to-day on regular schedule time. The
strikers have prided themselves on the
fact that they had been able to tie up
traffic to Coney Island, but they cannot
boast of that now, for tomorrow we
will be able to carry all passengers
who want to go to the island or other
resorts near the sea. / am sorry for
the men who were led astray by pro-
fessional agitators / am still willing
to take back the men who left their po-
sitions on the Brooklyn Heights line,
but l am determined that none of the
Nassau line men will be reinstated as
motormen or conductors.
In strike headquarters, Grenada
Hall, the men of the Nassau line as
sembled to-day. Gen. Master Work
man John Parsons did not appear, but
District Master Workman James Pines
was busy trying to encourage the
strikers He told them that even if
the strike should be unsuccessful they
still would have the satisfaction of
knowing that they had rebelled against
the evil system of hours and wages in
PRODUCED and maintained by Rossiter.
Mr.. Pines added that if certain sec
ton of the press and the corporations
fancied that the strike would be over
in a day or two, they would soon dis
cover that they were badly mistaken.
He also said that by Tuesday or We'd
nesday all of the lines of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company would be
tied up as tight as drum.

from scurvy. The doctor said only veg
etable food would save them and two
companions went ITO miles for pota-
toes.

THE STRIKE A FAILURE.
Cars in Brooklyn Yesterday Ran
About as Usual.
THE STRIKE LEADERS ADMIT
THAT MORE CARS RAN THAN
ANY DAY SINCE THE STRIKE
WAS INAUGURATED- PRESI-
DENT ROSSITER is JUBILANT
OVER THE SITUATION.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The trolley
car strike in Manhattan and Brooklyn
seems to be practically at an end. Gen.
eral Master Workman Parsons says it
is not and to-day at a meeting OF the
Central Federated Union, he launched
a scheme for a new labor political
party, and at the same time urged upon
the delegates of the various trades un-
ions in Greater New York the expedi-
ency of contributing to fund to aid
the strikers, and the delegates promis-
ed their financial support. This is
probably what causes General Master
Workman Parsons and District Master
Workman Hines to promise important
developments in the strike situation
this week.
1t is fact, however, that both yes
terday and to-day cars were being run
under almost normal Roadway on all
the lines except the Nassau throughout
Brooklyn, even to the various beaches,
and carrying large numbers of pass
engers.
In New York, except for the presence
of several hundred policemen on Sec
ond avenue and guards about the var
ious power houses, a strike would be
out Of consideration. There has been
no delay in the trolley car service in
Manhattan to-day on any line with the
exception of the Second avenue line,
an dthat is affected but little.
1t is stated by the police officials
that tomorrow or Tuesday at the
farthest, most of the police who have
been guarding the property of the rail-
road companies will be withdrawn.
