MILITARY ACTIVITY.
Campaign in the Philippines Begin
ming Earlier Than Expected.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The recent
military activity in the Philippines
signifies an earlier opening of the
active campaign than has been COM
monty anticipated. 1t is not the pur-
pose, nor has it been, of the depart
ment to delay the campaign in wait
ing for the arrival of all the troops
before beginning the campaign. For
the past three weeks, it is said, Gen
eral Otis has been ready to proceed
with active operations against the
rebels, and has been restrained only
by the conditions attending the rainy
season. The weather conditions i'm
proved enough for some preliminary
work to be done, hence the movements
that have been reported It is pic
turesquely stated that our forces will
advance directly behind the rain as it
clears away, and that no time will be
lost, the operations being fully up to
what the climatic conditions admit.
The department confidently asserts
that the rainy season is all that stands
between the rebel forces and utter de-
feat, and that from present indica-
tions there will be early and effective
military operations by our forces.

WILL GAIN PARTY VOTES
Repre- eSenfafiVe Hull on Effect of Ad-
minISErafion'S Foreign Policy.

Washington, Oct. g. Representative
Hull of Iowa, who is in Washington
today. says that there is a very lively
interest in politics in Iowa at this
time and that an active. fight is being
made, but that the republicans are
stronger in the state than they ever
were THE Philippine policy of the
administration, he said, will give
the republicans ten votes where it
loses one to them
He said that he thought the coming
session of congress would be impor-
tant, though it was difficult to pre-
dict just how legislation would come
out. He thought that the house eau
Gus committees financial bill would
be passed by both houses. He did nct
think that congress would do more
in that line, and did not see why it
should do less. He thought that there
would be some military legislation,
but found it hard to calculate how
strong might be the opposition to the
standing army.

GERMANY'S INDUSTRIES
Interesting Deductions as to 5he
Development of the Empire.

London, Oct. 6.-Prof. Lombard, in a
the Social Political union in session at
Breslau, pointed cut one curious ten
with that of other countries, namely,
the development OF retailers. In 1882.
1854 people in 10000 were retailers.
while in 1895 the number had 1ncreas-
ed to 1,502. The decrease is still
maintained, but Prof Lombard proph-
esied the gradual disappearance of
small shopkeepers with the increase Of
the big general stores
An interesting analysis of the CEN
sus of 1895 presented at this gathering
shows that Germany is an increasing
ly industrial natiCn. Since 1882 the
urban population has increased SO per
cent, proving that Germany must
more and more develop as a purchaser
of foreign food supplies. The total
population in 1895 was 51,77O,OO0, rep
Tesenting an increase Of more than
100000 a year. With such a growth
as this German emigration must
take place on a grsater scale year by
year cr by the middle OF the next cen
tury the empire will be as densely pop
ulated as China
Other figures show that 1922 900 per-
sons wersi engaged in agriculture,
8,2S1 900 in industrial pursuits, 2,25S.-
coo in trade, $4,000 in the profess
sions, 631, 900 were soldiers and saiIors
and 1855, 900 were servants. The pro-
portion of servants is the lowest shown
by census statistics anywhere in the
world and less than half the pro-
portion in Great Britain.

Has Taken a Rise in Opinion

A DANGEROUS CHALLENGER
Upton Has Made Arrangements for
fhe Conveyance of the Cup TO
England, ISeIin Is COnfideEf 1t
Will Remain in America and
Experts Ere Overcast With Un-
Certainly.

New York, Oct 6.-This has been 9
day Of rest on board the international
racers. The Columbia was towed from
Sandy Hook to Bay Ridge to get he1
cut of any danger from a northeaster
The Shamrock remained at her an
chorage at the Hook, her people seem
ing willing to take the chances. The
wind blew up pretty fresh about
O'Clock, but there was nothing to
threaten harm to a yacht so well pro-
tected by tenders and tugs, to say
nothing Gf the powerful Erin.
The feeling on both sides is one of
confidence Mr.. Iselin thinks he will
win. Sir Thomas Upton has a nice
little schooner in the Erin all ready
for the cup. The public is in doubt
and it must be said that there is a
feeling of indecision among expert
yachtsmen. Two days of drifting have
furnished almost nothing on which to
base opinions. They have, however,
seemed to strengthen the belief that
the Shamrock is a thoroughly danger
Jus pIOpOSllIOH- lis 10 AOW d wen
grounded opinion and if the two days
of light airs have done anything they
have shaken that confident feeling
that has prevailed among the hackers
of the Columbia.
Those who have watched most close
ly every movement of the two yachts
are firm in the belief that there is lit
tie to choose between them in a drift.
as it is remembered that the Shamrock
people have never asserted that she
was drifter, it can be understood
that there is reason for rise in the
Shamrock stock Twice in two days
of racing there have been times when
both boats were sailing under exactly
similar conditions For an hour after
the start on Tuesday and for a like
length of time after the start on
Thursday both were sailing dead be-
fore light wind with the same spread
OF canvas. On Tuesday the Shamrock
drew away from the Columbia. On
Thursday the Columbia drew away
from the Shamrock
No one can draw lines on the racers
from this and it can safely be said
that the only change that has taken
place, in the opinion of yachtsmen,
is one that tends TO increase the doubt.

duke said that as matters appeared to
him the only obstacle to a settlement
was the conviction entertained by the
Beers that the independence OF the
Transvaal was menaced. These appre-
tensions, he declared, were absolutely
unfounded. President Kruger, he
said,-w entitled to doubt the SINGER
ity of these declarations, but unfound-
ed suspicious could not relieve Great
Britain of the duty of protecting her
subjects.
The government, he said, had been
driven to formulate demands for GER
tain requirements. 1t considered that
these demands would be found to be
so moderate that under other circum-
stances they would be favorably re-
ceived. The speaker cherished the
earnest hope that they would be so
received. Meanwhile, the prepara-
tions which the Transvaal was making
for war compelled Great Britain to
take a similar course. This had en-
tailed a great deal of expense

London, Oct. 6.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
"A sensation has been caused here by
the report that the Free State govern
mand has commandered 800 tons OF
coal belonging to the cape govern
ment, which was traversing the Free
State. Such seizure would naturally
be regarded as an act of war
Some surprise is manifested over the
report that a large number of British
troops are to be landed here instead Of
at Durham. This is taken to signify
that the Transvaal will be invaded
from the west and not from Natal

been sent to Senor Sagrario, the Span

with DEATH Senor Sagrario turned
the letter ever to Chief of Police Car

find the author There is a schism in
the colony, the most rabid Spaniards
hating the consul-general because of
between Spaniards and Cubans. The
knowledge that he is investigating old
frauds committed against the Spanish
government by army contractors is
also making bitter enemies for him.
Another attempted lynching has oc-
CURED in Pinar del Rio. The victim
is Francisco Mora. a former Spanish
guerilla. He was saved with difficulty
by the police after a rope had been
placed about his neck and when the
mob was on the point of hanging him.
The increasing number of these affairs
is causing grave concern to the Span
iards. Sencr Sagrario has diplomati-
cally protested, but the attempted
lynchings continue. for the govern
ment is unable to control the sudden
outbursts of the Cubans. What most
offends the Spaniards is that it is very
seldom that arrests are made, public
sentiment among the Cubans condon-
ing these offenses. The Cuban press
as a rule gives taeit encouragement to
the would-be lynchers. This causes
bitter complaint from the Spaniards,
who say that while Cubans decry such

Washington, Oct. 6.-Mr. Elicit, the
Bratish Samoan commissioner. has re-

claims made by British subjects for
damages resulting from the lombard
ment and the native uprising The
claims aggregate something above
$1,000. Of this amount about $4,000
grows cut of the depredations Of the
Mataafa rebels in January and March
last, while some $1,000 is for losses
resulting from the bombardment of
the British-American naval forces and
the succeeding operations on land.
Besides the schedule of claims, a
considerable amount of general in
formation as to the situation in Sa-
moa was brought in the last official
mail. There was no evidence of any
disorder, however, and the apprehen-
sions expressed in some unofficial re-
ports as to another native uprising are
