RULE.
Suburban Motormen
Again Unhappy.
TIE OPEN WINDOW
Causes Cold SILVER to Creep
Along Their Spine.

Leicester, March 90-A notice was
posted in the lobby at the power sta
tlon yesterday, which makes some Of
the motormen on the road wonder what
use the vestibules which are required
by law, will be in stormy weather. 1t
reads as follows: "Motormen must keep
the middle window of the Yestibule
wide open all the time. John B. Cor
man, superintendent" The rule went
into effect Wednesday,, and since then
all motormen have sampled every
brand of fresh air from Spencer to the
Union depot, Worcester, whether they
felt like it or not. The front window
is directly in front of motorman when
ne Is running his car, and thus his
throat and lungs are exposed to a
steady stream of air during the eight
or ten hours Of his daily labor. The
rule would Seem to defeat every ad-
vantage of a vestibule and makes the
lhotormen long for summer and open
cars. 1t is supposed the object of the
rule IS to keep a motorman awake,
ana steady his nerves by the cool air,
and also to enable him to see clearer
than could be done through glass.

she went down. In spite of this, it is
said, there was no panic on board. The
coasting steamer Lynx, which brought
the news of the disaster here, picked
up four boats and forty persons. 1t is
estimated that seventy persons were
drowned
The second officer of the steamer,
who was among the rescued, says that
a collapsible boat was launched full of
people, but he thinks she struck on
the rocks, owing to the fog. Another
steamer has picked up a boat contain
ing forty-fi persons, including twenty
women, who escaped from the wrecked
steamer. They have been landed here.
The Stella had on board 140 passen-

in the Channel islands. The crew num-
bered forty-two.
The Stella, which belonged to the

the season to the channel islands. The
weather was foggy, but all went well

the fogbank, and the steamer almost
Immediately afterwards struck amid
ships. The captain, seeing that the
steamer was fast sinking, ordered the
lifeboats to be launched. His instruc-
tons were carried out with the utmost
celebrity and the women and children
were embarked in the boats. Then the
captain ordered the men to look after
themselves A survivor stated that he
and twenty-five others put off from the
Stella in a small boat. The sea was
calm, but there was big swirl around
the rocks. When this boat was a short
distance away from the wreck, the
boilers of the Stella burst with ter

Continuing, the survivor referred to

VOLUNTEERS AT MANILA.
VIII Not Be Mustered Out While
They Are Needed.

Washington. March Silt was stated
at the war department today that the
provision of the army law allowing the
retention in service for six months of
the volunteers in the Philippines has
been construed to mean the officers as
we'll as the men, and that the volunteer
organizations would be retained Just as
they now exist. General Otis was given
large plenary powers in the matter but
was instructed by cable to send all sick
and wounded home, as well as volun-
teers who had exceptional reasons why
they should return home, such as the
support of families and the loss of prop
erty by reason of their absence. Gen
era1 Otis will decide such questions on
their merits. The volunteers in the
Philippines will not be mustered out
until they can be spared, and the pres
ence there of these organizations, the
war department believes, makes it nee
essary to organize the provisional army
of 3d. 900 allowed under the army law

know that if it should get out that

appear with every hair of his head

could not convert without the help of
the spirit of God.
There must be conviction in the
church before our sons and daughters
can be saved from the terrible fate and

that they should go to the whisky
shops and brothels and to save them
we must have the spirit of the Holy
Ghost.
THE LOVE OF GOD.

AeUrNALDo NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Appealed to Dewey to Stop the
Fighting.

Washington, March 31.-A copy of
the Japan Times of Feb. u, published
at Toxic, has been received here. It
contains an interview with an Ameri-
can named Croker who may be Pro-
fessor Crocker of Columbia college, who
was an eyewitness of the first two
days fighting about Manila, which be-
gan Feb. 5. He indicates that the Fill
pinos in the city undoubtedly contem-
plated rising en- masse, but failed to
carry out the plan of cooperation with
those in arms outside of the city.
During the lighting says Mr.
Croker "Aguinaldo, who is supposed
to be at Malolos, communicated with
Dewey. He sent him a message, in
which he said, For Gods sake, stop
the firing and disclaiming any re-
sponsibility in connection with the
starting of the trouble. Dewey, how
ever refused compliance, and 1 think
Aguinaldo is now accepting the situa-
ton.
There was some talk of Aguinaldo
resigning and washing his hands of
the whole affair. but I do not think he
will do so. The opinion is that it was
not Aguinaldo who precipitated this
thing, but his followers, whom he could
not control"

Filipinos Called Upon to Protect

Manila, March 31.-The Republica
Filipino on March 90 published an ex-

the effect that the Americans had at
tackled Pasig, that many of them were
killed and a majority of the remainder
were wounded, while $50 of them were
taken prisoners.
A second paragraph in the same edi-
ton asserted that the Americans had
ravished 800 of the Filipinos' fairest
daughters and called upon the natives
to defend their honor with their lives
against oppressors who spared neither
age, sex nor condition, numbering
whole families in cold-blooded re-
venge."
