AN INSURGENT PLOT:
Gen. Otis Notified That His Resi-
dence Would Be Burned.
REPORTED ORDER BY ACUIyALDO.
Filipino Soldiers In the Northern Provinces
Directed to Return Home and Resume
Farming The Recovery Of the
sunken Gunb0at Urdaneta.

Manila, Oct. 6,--The archbishop o.
Manila notified Gen. Otis that there
was a plot on foot to burn the resi-
dences Of the governor general and the
arch bishop, together with several gov
eminent buildings and banks, but the
plot failed to materialize, possibly be-
cause of display of force.
The first reports regarding the affair
at Paranque Wednesday night seem
to have been much exaggerated. The
facts are that small band Of insur.
gents, following the bay road, poured
a volley into the village another into
Las Pinos, with the result that two or
three houses were burned. The crack
ling of the bamboo caused it to be re-
ported in Manila, that there had been
much shooting.
The United States transport Warren,
from San Francisco, with l,2OO recruits
has arrived.
The United States gunboat Wheeling
from Vancouver, March 3, via Homo
lulu, while passing st. Vincent, in
northern Luzon, shot down a Filipino
flag. The Filipinos fired volley at
the Wheeling's men, who were sleep
ing on deck( and the Wheeling bonn
barded the settlement.
Aguinaldo, according to report
brought to Manila yesterday by a Do
minican friar from the north, has
issued orders to the Filipino soldiers in
the northern provinces to return to
their towns and resume farming. This
story lacks confirmation, but the rumor
may be in accordance with the Agui-
naldo's policy of keeping the country
as productive as possible by using his
men in alternate shifts on the farms
or under arms.
Dagupan, San Fernando and Deli
cinict, which are under the guns of the
United States warships, are supposed
to be evacuated. It is alleged that the
evacuation order calls upon the male
inhabitants to be orderly in case of the
arrival Of the American troops and ex-
presses the hope that the Americans
will protect the towns
The expedition which was sent to
the Orani river under the command
of Capt. Cornwell to recover the sunk
EN- gunboat Urdaneta, returned to Ca
vite Wednesday with the hull of the
boat, after bombarding Orani and
landing a force. Capt, Cornwall
brought one prisoner. Lieut.. Frank
lin, of the army gunboat Laguna de
Bay, guided the expedition. There
were no casualties. On Monday morn
ing the expedition entered the river
and anchored above 0rani, near the
Urdaneta, the inhabitants Of the town
simultaneously evacuating it and car
rylng their belongings with Them The
gunboats bombarded Orani, the beaches
and the surrounding country for half
an hour, receiving Mauser volley in
reply. The Urdaneta was lost off the
bar about ten o'clock that evening, the
operations of the Americans being UNI
The following morning the
bombardment was reopened to cover

about half mile above the town. On |
entering 0rani the Americans expert

her voyage, The Brooklyn will be
ready to sail by the end of next week.

THE coUNrRY's TRADE.
Industry IL Active, Railway Earnings
Heavy. Prices Tend Upward and
Bank Clesrings Increase.

New York, Oct. 7.-Bradst reefs to-
day says: Distributive trade. while
smaller at some markets, is still of en-
couraging volume, industry is active,
railway earnings heavy, prices still
tend upward and bank clearings in
crease, while failures lessen. Fall
festivals and other celebrations at sew
eral cities have had an appreciate
effect upon retail and proved stimu-
lating factor in wholesale lines In
industrial affairs activity is widespread
and strikes are fewer and less costly
than in most years. Though lessened
by holidays, bank clearings swelled
partly by heavy October disbursements
and partly by general business ex-
pansion, tend to enlarge as the season
advances. Business failures are ap-
parently at minimum and liabilities
are certainly less costly than for years
past. Farm products are especially
prominent in this direction, the south's
greatest staple, cotton, owing to short
crop, advances, and owing to active
speculation, leading in extent Of grain
with an advance Of nearly half cent
for the week, Of nearly two cents as
compared with year ago and of quite
IN as compared with the low water
price touched in the season of ls9S-99.
The manufactured article is strong in
sympathy with the raw product, but is
also strengthened by reported heavy |
dealings in print cloths and by the fact |
that manufacturers of most lines of
staple cottons are heavily sold ahead.
War rumors have played an important
part in the weeks operations tending
in some respects toward checking the
buoyancy of cotton, affecting London
wool sale prices and strengthening the
tone of wheat and other cereals, which
are strong in the face Of heavy in
creases in the visible supplies. Wool
has been in active demand by manufac-
turers and is higher at most markets.
Wooden goods retain all of their old
strength and some classes still tend up
ward. Chartering of ships by the Brit
ish government has created some ex-
citement in ocean freight markets and
quotations for room have been marked
up.
Dairy products reflect weather con-
ditions in higher prices and petroleum
is firm on limited production compared
with the demand. Anthracite coal has
been marked up at tidewater and the
demand is brisk. Hides and leather
are strong and higher. Iron and steel
hold all of their own strength, the for
mer on heavy buying at Pittsburgh
and farther west, while large quanti-
ties of steel rails have been bought by
leading railroads and further heavy
business is under consideration. Ex-
port trade in southern iron has almost
ceased and there is talk of reimporting
some already shipped.

Pleasant, Ia, at 9:35 o'clock yesterday

ed, a collapse having taken place last
Sunday. The immediate cause of his

complicated with liver trouble. Over
exertion in attending the sessions of
the Iowa Methodist conference last
week aggravated his maladies and
caused prostration. His daughter, the
wife Of Hon. Robert I. Lincoln, of
Chicago. was summoned from New

side.

KNEW LAFITTE THE PIRATE.
Recent Death OF Texas Veteran
Who Ran Errands for the
Bold Duccuneer.

John Iaams, an old settlsr who died
in Galveston, Tex, recently, aged %,
was probably the last person living who
had known the celebrated pirate, La
fitte. Iaams often desc ribed Lafitte,
whom he had seen frequ mtly at. Bara-
taya and afterward at Galveston. The
old Texan, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, was boy then, bui peculiarities
of the buccaneer RENAME fixed firmly
in his memory. Iaams sal that Lafitte
was in the habit of going ip the bayous
running into Berwick's bay with his
boats and number of m In. lie was of
vigorous build and Very good natured,
selling the women at their own figures
pretty things he had captured. He was
very popular with the people, and once
gave young Iaams four dollars for div
ing into the bayou and bringing up a
pistol he had dropped into the water
while stan1ing on one of his boats. He
would laugh and joke with his men, but
his word was Law TO them. They would
have resented being termed pirates,
called themselves pIivateers, and none
of the people cared to excite their re-
sentiment Iaams came TO Galveston in
1922, before Texas dreamed Of inde-
pendence, before Sam Houston had set
foot on the soil, and before Travis,
Crockett, Bowie or Fannin had thought

gave their lives. BE was soldier in

Joe Teahou, travelling passenger
agent of the Wabash, returned from a
trip through the state and tells This
story, says the Omaha World-aerald:
AS we were approaching TaImAge the
other day lady with poodle deg cenae
into the smoker. a travelling man caiied
her attention TO the character Of The
car and told her she had better 90 into
one of the others. She declared thai
she was going TO stay right there, and
she told bin he must not light and
smoke the pipe he was filing with to-
bacco. He opened the window and
calmly Lit his pipe and was putting away
when she again demanded that he de-
sist. He again told her that she could
go into one of the rear ears. Invent on
for q few minutes, when she leaned
over and snatched the pipe from his
mouth and threw it out of the window.
The travelling man was at a white hear
with rage and, turning around. grabbed
the poodle and chucl1ed it out of the
window.
Then she went on the warpath. She
declared that she would have him ar
rested at Talmage, where, she said, she
knew everybody, and he said if she cid
he would have her arrested for stealing

heavy, and when they got off the train
they rushed around for the town mar

telling their troubles when the poodle
came running up the track with the
pipe In his mouth"

luADRUpLETs ARE SCARCE.
statistics show That They Occur Moi
More Than once In Every
100000 Births.

The recent birth Of quadrupiets, fcur
girls, to Mr.. and Mrs. James Plat. of
Union Mills, Ind, has awakened con-
siderable interest in multiplicity in
birth, and caused a member of the med
ical fraternity TO search the records to
find q similar instance of four girls
born at one time. The result of the
physicians research, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, is statistical evidence that
quadruplets are supposed to occur once
in about every 100000 births. There
are 70 instances recorded IN the index
catalogue OF the surgeon generals Ii
brary of the United States, but not a
single one is noted as being that of
females. The health records of Paris
show that in l0S,00o cases during the
past 60 years, there was but one case
Of bankruptcies.
The 72 eases above mentioned as hav-
ing occurred in the United States are
supposed to cover the entire existence
of the department in which they are
recorded. In later years there have
been but few cases; one in 1890 in Tex
as. one in 1883 in Canada, and one in
1871 in st. Petersburg. The instances of
the birth of five and SIX children at
one time are even rarer. The greatest
of children ever born to a wom-
an at one time was seven.
