London, Feb. 6.-The Times
commenting editorialIy upon the
dispatches from Manila, says:
THE insurgent attack was ap-
parently premeditated and the pre-
sumption is strong that Aguinaldo
is responsible for the bloodshed
The really important point ID
whether the attack is or is not the
beginning of an organized attempt
to fling off American rule. I We
imagine the news viii strengthen
the determination of America to
take up the white mans burden. : z
The Daily Graphic says: BY
this act of folly, the insurgents
have not only courted defeat, but
have regularized the position of the
Americans in the archipelago and
have probably obtained for Presi-
dent Mckinley a free hand in the
expansion policy, which the Senate
has seemed to give him."
The Daily Chronicle says: THE
Filipinos have helped to assure the
ratification of the peace treaty"
The Standard says: The pau
city of news and the boldness of
the rebels in their attack upon Ma
Mia are ominous and it is not un-
likely that the Americans will have
a series of toilsome campaigns over
the scattered islands,
The Daily News says. The
fact that American blood has been
shed will secure, we imagine, the
immediate ratification of the peace
treaty. The Filipinos have shown
their unftness for self government
at the very outset by rash and
untimely manifestation" :"
The afternoon papers here agree
that the Filipinos have made a
fatal error and they are convinced
TIE Americans will not allow the
trouble to influence their policy.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Ag
uniIaldo and his merry men have
not displayed clear conception of
the American character. We take
it for granted that there will be no
looking back now until America
has plowed a Philippine furrow
right through. although the job is
likely to be long and troublesome. "
The Globe says: Americas mis-
take has been in attempting to per-
form big job with small means
Now that this has led to the Gus
tomary consequence, it may be
safely assumed that the United
States will place such an overpow-
ering force in the field as to beat
down any opposition.

a la Funston aud has made record
for reckless bravery which has popu-
larized him with the men.
There also is talk that the War
Department has about decided to
organize a machine-gun arm of the
service, much on the lines suggested
by Lieut. John Parker, who COM
manded the Calling gun section of
Gen Skaters army. The rapid fire
guns are said to have been of great
value to the army in the Philippine
campaign, and it is reported that
orders have been given for a number
of GatliDgs and Colts.
Hundreds of Kentucky saddle
horses have been bought for the
army in the last few weeks and it is
said they are to be sent to the Phil
ippines It also is reported that
number of Jamaica and Cuban ponies
have been purchased for similar
service.

SAYS He Killed Thornton =.

Webb City, Mo Aug. 9.-The
preliminary examination OF Ida
Thornton, charged with numbering
her husband. John Thornton, on
Sunday morning, July 80, was com
menced and is attracting attention.
The hearing is being held at the
opera house and it is filled to over
flowing At least 800 ladies were
present. The examination progresses
slowly, only three witnesses being
examined to day. Bond Hougha
wcut is prosecuting and j Fl. Flan-
nigan is defending.
George Ray, a cousin of Mrs.
Thornton, who is charged with the
killing, was the last witness to day.
He said Mrs. Thornton persuaded
him to kill her husband; that he
went to the engine room that morn
ing, shot him and cut his throat.
That he thea took from him 500 in
money, some certificates of deposit
and finger ring.
Ray is cripple and invalid and
lived at Thorntons home He can
not live long. Few people believe
what he says, the general opinion
being that she has him under hyp-
motto influence and is using him to
screen herself. Court adjourned

~Olid Shot for Vessel.

Folkstone. Eng, Aug. 9.-The
British torpedo gunboat Leda this
morning found a French fishing
boat, E;oille de Mer, belonging to
Bclogne Sur Mer, fishing within the
three limit. The fisherman at
tempted to escape, and did not stop
when blank shot was fired The
Leds then fired a shot, which dis
abled the Etoisl, de Mer and killed
her helmfman. The fishing boat
was afterward lowed to this port
with the body of the dead helmsman
on deck.
The arrival of the EtoilIe de NIer
caused much excitement. Il is
hoped the regretable incident will
draw attention to the serious inroads
made by foreign fishermen in British
waters.
The admiralty authorities express
surprise at the fact that the fishing
boat diere garded the Leda's signal
to heave TO, ard in the absence of
official report. they assume that the
commander of the Leda only resort
ed to drastic measures when other
means were Intellectual The captain

Hundreds of Horses Dead

Billings, Mont, August 9.-Fiye
hundred. horses belonging to Powell
Bros, of Cooley City, Wash con
signed to South Omaha, were IN
loaded here at S o'clock Yesterday
afternoon for transfer to the Bur
lington and Missouri line. At 5
o'clock this afternoon they began
dying by the wholesale and at this
writing, Sp. M, 257 have succumbed
and the rest are keeling over. There
are many fine animals among them
and the loss will reach many thous-
ands of dollaas. The cause of death
is a mystery. Many claim they
were poisoned before reaching this
point, while others contend that thew
drank too much water on being IN
loaded. The sight presented at the
"dying ground" one mile east OF
this city, is too horrible for descrip
ton.

Dallas, Tex Ang. 8.-P. 2. Nc.
Dermott, turfman, stockraiser and
and capitalist, living at ST Joe, Tex
He is spending few days in Dallas
arranging for entering some OF his
horses in racing events to come off
at the State Fair Meeting to be held

Modern ott takes keen interest in
politics, Three years ago he Joined
the Indianapolis Convention Demo
erocy, but now he has returned to
the Democratic house of his father s
and announces himself full convert
to the principles advocated by Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. McDermott announced his
political regeneration as follows to-
day:
I'm 1896 l was made to believe
that if Bryan was elected the entire
country would go to political destuc-
ton. had money in national banks
and the anti-Bryan press and anti
Bryan orators howled about depre-
citation in values that would surely
follow the election of Bryan until I
really believed they were right, 80
voted for Mckinley. Now I'm sorry
of it. The stupendous growth of
trusts, fostered by the republican
party and the unamerican and un-
constitutional policy the national ad-
ministration is pursuing 10 the Phil
ippines is enough to make a true
American sick at heart. If I am
able to reach the polls 10 1900, I
shall put in one ballot for William
Jennings Bryan and whoever runs
GA the ticket with him / travel
about the country a good deal and
have fairly good opportunities for
observing the trend of public
thought. 1 personally know Of at
least 1000 men that have taken iden
tically the same position have taken
since the last presidential election
There will not be enough OF the Nc
Kinley administration left, in my
judgment, after the next election to
justify one in referring to it as of
national proportions.

Rock Me to Sleep.
FLORENCE PARCY.

Backward, turn backward, o time in your flight,
Make child again just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smoothe the few silver threads out of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Backward, flow backward, o tide of the years.
l am so weary OF toll and of tears
Toll without recOmpense, tears all in vain
Take them, and give me my childhood again,
L have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary of fiinging my soul-wealth away;
Weary of sowing for others to reap
Rock me to Sleep mother-rock me to sleep!
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, mother, my heart calls for you
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded our faces between.
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain
Long to night for your presence again.
Come from the silence so long and SO deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Over my heart in the days that are flown,
No love like motherove ever has shown;
No other worship abides and endures-
Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours;
None like mother charm away pain
From the sick soul and world weary brain.
Slumber's soft calm DER my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Come, let your brown hair just lighted with gold.
Fall on your shoulders again of old;
Let it drop over my forehead tonight
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny-edged shadows once
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions of yore;
Lovingly, softly its bright pillows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Mother, dear mother, the years have been long
Since l last listened to your lullaby song;
Sing, Them and unto my soul it shall seem
Wemanhood's years have been only dream,
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock to sleep, mother-rock me TO sleep.
