ing different sections of the country
and different phases of social and econ
omical questions of the day. The OBJ
ject of such an organization is stated
to be to provide for a, thorough discus
sion and consideration of questions OF
national Importance, affecting either
the foreign or domestic policy of the
United States; to aid in the crystalliz-
alton of the most enlightened public
sentiment in the country in respect
thereto; and to promote necessary
legislation in accordance Herewith.
The leaders of the civic federation
have contemplated this move for some
time, deeming it essential if a national
work were to become anything more
than educational
In January, 1893, the Chicago Civic
Federation called a national confer
ence on primary elections and munich
pal reform which was held in New
York, and was attended by representa-
tives of over forty of the largest cities
of the United States The impetus
given to primary election reform re-
suited in both New York and Illinois
securing new laws at the following ses-
sions of their respective Legislatures.
But beyond this and the publication
and distribution of proceedings, the
Chicago Federation has found it i'm
practicable to go. In August, 1898, it
called at Saratoga a national confer
ence on the foreign policy of the United
States, which, after two days of ami
mated debate by the leading men of all
parties unanimously agreed upon some
broad principles which called for fur
ther effort to render it of permanent
value to the country. This work could
not be followed by the Chicago organ
ization. The four days trust conference
recently held in Chicago was not ex-
pected to agree upon general principles,
but it was believed the free discussion
by representatives of so many schools
of thought would furnish material and
a basis for more thorough work here
after. 1t is to make it possible to fol-
low up the practical lines suggested by
the conference that the national civic
federation is projected

MANILA, Sept. "a, 11:25 a. M = The
United States cruiser Charleston, the
monitor Monterey and the gunboats
Concord and Zafiro, with marines and
blue jackets from the cruiser Balti
more, left Cavite September 10Th and
as already cabled, proceeded to Sublg
Bay to destroy an insurgent cannon
there.
Owing to the bad weather, the ope-
ration was postponed until yesterday,
when the warships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the entrenchments where the gun is
situated.
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zafro were then landed under
heavy insurgent fire, proceeding TO the
cannon, which was utterly destroyed
by gun cotton, and then returned to
the warships.
The Americans had one man wounded
during the engagement.
While waiting in Subig Bay for bet
ter weather the Americans deserted
Filipino reinforcements moving toward
Olangapo. At 6:40 a. m yesterday the
Monterey began to advance upon the
town, which was about three miles
east of the monitors anchorage The
Charleston, Concord and Zafiro fol-
bowed.
At 1925 the Monterey opened fire with
her secondary and main batteries, the
Charleston and Concord joining imme-
diately. At 7:30 the insurgent can
non answered, the first shot passing
close to the Monterey's smokestack.
The gun was fired twice only.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At $50 the Monterey
advanced to a range of six hundred
yards, using her main battery. Two
hundred and fifty men We're landed
about 800 yards east of the cannon at
il O'Clock under a severe Mauser fire
The men from the Charleston We're the
first to reach the beach, but the Con-
cords men were the first at the gun,
which they reached at lilo The can
non was found to be sixteen cent?
meter Krupp gun, presumably OBJ
tanned from the Spaniards.
Meanwhile the warships continued to
shell the shelving beach on the east
and west side, to silence the insurgent
fire upon the sailors from the trenches
skirting the beach.
Gunner Olson exploded fifty pounds
or gun cotton in three discharges in
the cannon, which had suffered from
the fire of the warships
The Americans then returned to the
boats the firing inland being kept up to
protect the embarkation. The Con-
cords men were the last to reach the
shore and the warships were reached
at 11:50.

REAR ADMIRAL WATSON.
Reports the Particulars of Engage
ment at Subig Bay.

WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-Acting
Secretary Allen of the Navy Depart
ment received cablegram from Rear
Admiral Watson to-day giving a brief
account of the engagement at Subig
Bay. 1t is dated the oath at Manila,
and says:
Mandora discovered heavy gun
mounted opposite Kalaklan Point, Su-
big Bay; exchanged shots with Charles
ton. Sent Charleston, Monterey, Con-
cord and Zafiro with detachment of
marines and sailors from Baltimore
to capture and destroy. Attacked in
surgent position on the 23d. After
bombardment landing party carried in
trenchments, dispossessed enemy and
destroyed one 16-centimeter Krupp gun.
Casualties: William Shepherd, ap-
prentice second class, Charleston, Sc
riously wounded; Charles Haffke, coal
passer, Concord, heat prostration.
"Insurgent fire heavy, but poorly
aimed; enemy's loss unknown. A re-
port mailed
The important feature of the engage
ment is the fact which disclosed that
the insurgents have been able to OBJ
tain Krupp guns. It was known at the
time of the outbreak of the insurgents
against the Americans that the artlli !
cry of the insurgents consisted OF a
few obsolete guns captured from the
Spanish.
Acting Secretary Allen says it is evi-
dent that the navy at Manila does not
intend to allow any fort to be erected
by the insurgents which can be reached
by the ships, and he is convinced that
the squadron under Rear Admiral Wat
son will be able to keep the shores
guarded and repeat the lesson of yes
terday if the insurgents are found to
be operating on the coast

A SURGEONS FRIENDSHIPS.
Tait's Intimacy With Prominen,
Men and His Cultivated Tastes.

A significant Indication of the esteem
in which Mr.. TAFT was held in public
life may be found in the fact that to-
ward the end of 1892 the eminent sur
geon was offered by Mr.. Gladstone the
honor of a baronetcy, which he de-
clined. A token of the repute which he
enjoyed in the medical world was his
selection to deliver the address in sur
gerry when the British Medical Associa,
tion held its meetings in Birmingham
in 1890.
Mr.. TAFT enjoyed the intimate ac-
quaintance and esteem of many of the
most celebrated men of the day. He
was frequent visitor at the house of
the late Charles Darwin at Beckenham,
where he often met the late Professor
Huxley and other distinguished sci
entists. Sir Henry Irving was also
among those whose intimacy he en-
joyed, and no first night at the Lyceum
was complete without Mr.. Tait's pres
ence. Sir Henry Irving was frequent
visitor at the Crescent, and Mr.. TAFT
was sent for when an unfortunate
pistol accident happened to one of Mr..
Irvings sons in Edinburgh some years
of Sir William Harcourt. in the New
Forest, where for many years Mr.. TAFT
possessed delightful residence. In
fact, at one time Mr.. TAFT was
perhaps the man who, out of
London, was most generally
known in all classes of society.
Although he frequently took line of
his own upon professional questions
and was in no wise loath to enter into
public controversy, his warm geniality
and liberal disposition forbade the
prevalence of any but cordial feeling
toward him on the part Of the COM
munity in its various sections. He was
a man of the widest culture and gen
eral knowledge. His close friendship
with George Dawson led to his becom-
ing frequent contributor to 1.-THE
Morning News when that journal was
published in Birmingham, and there is
in print sermon, entitled 'The Image
of Baa1," which was delivered by Mr..
TAFT, as recorded by the preface, from
the pulpits of two well-known and
highly esteemed orthodox places OIL
worship Mr.. TAFT was close student
Of archaeology, and published essays
upon Britain During the Stone Age"
and on THE Orientation of Churches.
He had at one time a choice and val
liable collection of Japanese art. His
fondness for animals, of which he gen.
orally kept a large number, led to his
taking a decided stand in opposition to
the practice of vivisection. He was
clever and witty speaker and a most
amusing raconteur, and among the as
sociations from whose social functions
in Birmingham he was rarely absent
were the Press Club and the Scottish
Society. He was a life associate of
the Institute of Journalists, and set
much store by the connections which
he had formed with that profession
