DrOD In Pittsburg 4 Gulf Stock.

New York, March l6.-Kansas CITY,
Pittsburg 4 Gulf stock declined seven
points share, from Sl4 to 81, on Wall
street. The closing rallied and the
last sale was ss75. The drop in the
price was attributed to some dis
agreement over the reorganization
plan. The security holders have been
asked to deposit their holdings with a
trustee before the reorganization plan
is announced, a procedure which seems
very unusual and which seems not to
meet the approval Of the creditors of
the company.

Havana, March sl.-The excitement
growing out of the conflict between
the police and the populace is rapidly

THE PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN.


Hong Kong, March Ala CORE.
spondent of the Associated press al
Manila says: An army has seldom OBJ
Grated under harder conditions than
nave been encountered by the Ameri-
can flying brigade" The country
the American troops have traversed is
intersected with lagoons, narrow and
unfordable rivers and bamboos so thick
the enemy cannot be seen 100 feet dis
tant During the charges the Ameri-
cans were ignorant as to whether they
were attacking hundred or thousands
OF rebels, which amazes the foreign OBJ
servers. One Of the prisoners taken
by the Americans says the Filipino
leaders boast that they can continue
such a war for years, depending on
the American forces being weakened
daily by 30 men killed, wounded or
invaded. Some Of the high officials
here think that 10000 reinforce ments
are needed, as the troops now
on this island are hardly more
than required to maintain a guard
around Manila and police the city.

A CONSPICUOUS INSTAGCE.

In these days when the interests of
the American people are so varied and
so widespread, the demands made upon
"the publishers and editors OF the great
daily newspaper have been correspond
ingly increased. Skill and judgment
are called for more than ever before.
To keep abreast of the news, to be ac-
curale in its statements, to print what
the people want and to present it in at
tractive form, is task ::for the news
papers of growing difficulty. But very
few papers can be said 10 achieve the
task. Conspicuous among them is the
bostoN journal. The news of the world
is given each day in its columns, fresh
readable with its significance made plain
and free from the rubbish and sensa-
tionalsm that gets into so many papers
these days. 1t is pleasure to note that
the Boston Journal has fully met the
demands of the times.

ONE GOOD HABIT.

When the whole world turns over a
new leaf, it seems timely to remind our
readers of one habit which we can
commend: 1t is the reading of The
Boston Herald. Some of our patrons
read The Daily Herald and and some of
them The Sunday Herald. We would
that all of them read both The Sunday
and The Daily Herald. This pre-emi
nently great newspaper. the greatest in
New England, has made the eaeatest
record OF its record breaking career. In
every department it has made unmis-
taxable advancement. In its makeup it
meets every requirement of the reading
public. From the smallest item OF local
news. to the greatest events of the day
1t olnlts nothing, and vet in its great
pages finds room for stories, incidents
and anecdotes. Which seem marvellous
when one considers the demands upon
Its columns. The Sunday Herald is
greater and broader than ever before.
and every page is frightened by timely.
well-drawn illustrations. During the
past year The Boston Herald in its var-
Gus editions has published nearly 10 900
Illustrations. Certainly the reading of
The Boston Herald is to be commended.
Are you Herald reader? If not, why
1ot become one during 1892 1t is your
asst chance of the century.
