SCENES At MANILA.


The scene at Manila when the alarm
was given on Saturday night was Wildly
exciting. The American soldiers ID
the theatres and at the circuses were
called out, the performances stopped.
Filipinos scurried everywhere and the
rattle of musketry and the looming OF
cannon outside of the city was plainly
heard The residents on the outskirts
of Manila focked into the walled city,
with their arms full of articles. All
the carriages disappeared as 1t by
magic, the street cars were stopped,
the telegraph lines were cut and the
soldiers hurriedly but silently p:arcned
out of the city to the stations assigned
them. The stores were closed almost
Instantly foreign flags were to be seen
flying from many windows, and num-
Der CT white rags were hung out from
Filipino huts and houses.
On Sunday immense crowds OF peo--
pie visited the water frontand gathered
in the highest towers to watch the bonn

attempts TO as.assinate American otn-.

raised all that he onuld. The member
ship fees he said were enc dollar for ordi-

tanning membership. The difference was
that the sustaining members had the
consciousness Of having given i've time 8

were equal.

Law Conrt sustains Judge wiswelr,
Ruling in Kittery Murder Case.

The Main Law court yesterday handed
down decision In the Kittery murder
case, everything the exceptions of the
respondent and rendering Judgment for
the stste. The murder was committed In
kittery, January 20. Mrs. Mary Tarlton,
an eyed widow who lived alone near th
kittery FERRY, was found dead on her kit
chen floor, the assault having heen COM
mItted with a molnssss jug. broken pieces
of which lay on the floor beside her. A
small sum Of money which she had
drawn from u savings bank Few days
before was missing.
Frank +. Parks, young man of no
standing in the community. had been
seen to enter Mrs. Tarlton's yard, aud
shortly afterward was peering out from
behind the ell in suspicious manner
The neighhor who went over to Mrs
Tarlton's to investigate saw Parks run
hing across the fields from the house.
When Parks was arrested at his home,
that night, he denied any connection
with the murder, but spots of blood and
molassts were found on his clothing.
At the trial at Alfred. In May, plea OF
insanity was emit red, 1t being alleged
that Parks had inherited an appetite for
liquor and it had been uncomfortable
siucs his early youth. and that his con-
tinuaI indulgence In intoxicants had
rendered him mentally irresponsible for
his acts. The jury returned verdiot
of guilty of murder In the first degree.

prove, his insanity by preponderence

SOME may have inferred from our ar
ticle last week, concerning Senator t.
tus, that the Senator had been trapped
and his bill defeated while he was in
the chair, and if any were led into such
error by the article, we want to this
early disabuse their minds. The To-
peka papers tried to make it appear
that the Senator was called to the chair
80 that he would be defenseless when
his bill was attacked. Those who know
the Senator realize that it would be al
most impossible to trap him in any
such manner, for he would know when
his bill would come up, and would of
course not take the chair at such a
time, and at the time or times he has
occupied the chair it has been when
matters were up that he did not care to
debate. AS to his anti pass bill the
facts are substantially as follows: Sem
atOr Titus introduced senate bill No.
"a which calls for rate not in excess
Of two cents per mile for the transpor-
tatiOn Of any passenger not over twelve
years of age and one cent for those be-
tween six and twelve; prohibiting any
railroad companies from carrying any
person free, except railroad employees
legltimately engaged in the operation
of trains, but the act not to apply to
chapter 1877 of the laws of 1897; that the
road should on the last Saturday of
each month publish in some paper of
general circulation list of all persons
and their address on their pay rolls as
attorneys or solicitors; also any person
holding an Office under the laws of the
state using free transportation on any
railroad within or without the state
shall upon conviction, forfeit his Office
and be fined in any sum not exceeding
one hundred dollars, and that any rail-
road violating any OF the provisions of
the act, should be fined upon conviction
five h undred dollars for each and every
offense. The bill was reported adverse
ly by the railroad committee which rec
commended a substitute providing for a
two and one half cent fare, without the
other features, and upon the filing of
| such report Senator Titus served no.
tice that he would offer as a substitute
for the committee bill, his bill, on final
passage. Senator Anderson, of Shaw
nee, introduced bill making 1t felo.
| ny for conductors and others to forge
F.! passes and tickets. or fail to punch
| or cancel them etc., and 1t is bill No
| 36. Senator Titus offered an amend
ment to SO so that it would include
| general attorneys of the road who issue
passes TO influence nominations, legis
| lation ETC., and the amendment carried
but upon motion Of Senator Fields OF
Reno, the enacting clause was stricken
out. The next day the bill No SO as
amended Was recOmmitted and killed
in the committee of the whole. The
same day Senator Titus offered his bill
No. "a as substitute for the commit
tee bill No. so. and it carried, and tina

SOME men have less sense
than squirrels. That sounds
harsh, but it is true. Men
will mine coal and harvest
grain by tons and bushels in
summer time and freeze and
starve in winter, simply be-
cause they vote for laws
which permit monopoly to
take the products of their la.
Dor. When squirrels lay up
a store for winter use they
do not suffer from hunger
while a monopoly of squir-
rels corners it for specula
tive purposes. It is unfortu
nate that some men were not
born squirrels.
