HooTEo OFF THE PLATFORM
Jerry simpsons Praise Of Aguinaido
Was Too Much for His Hearers.

Kansas City, Sept. 25.-A dispatch
says:
Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson was
hooted off the platform here this even
ing while addressing a local q. A. X.
reunion. Mr.. Simpson said:
81 glory in the spunk of Aguinaldo's
men. They are simply fighting to re-
gain the land the Catholics took from
them. A local paper has asked: Who
is John Browns soul marching with
Otis or Aguinaldo?' | believe John
Browns soul is marching with Agui-
naldo."
Mr.. Sipmson said in substance that
he would rather be with Aguinaldo
than with General Otis. An old SOL
der in the audience rose and said that
the speech was drifting too much into
politics. This was applauded and
greeted with cries of "Throw him outn'
and kick Simpson off the PLATFORM"
Men and women arose and Missed, and
the men kept crying, "Put him outW
Simpson appealed to the crowd to sit
down. 81 am coming to my perora-
tion," he said, although he had been
speaking only l5 minutes. Cries came,
Take your peroration to Aguinaldo."
Simpson attempted to 60 on, but no
one could hear him 10 feet away. The
band struck up 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" and Mr.. Simpson lett the
platform. His retirement was greeted
with PROLONGED cheers.

GENERAL TRADE IS GOOD.
Reaction in the stock Market Has Bus
Little Eject.


r. G.. Dun & Co. s weekly review of
trade says: The reaction in the stock
market is not sign of anything outside
that market, but has caused many to
look for signs of a reaction elsewhere.
Such signs have been hard to find. IL
has been for months wonder that the
demand for products was sustained ut
rates exceeding past consumption i'll
any year, Notwithstanding the general
rises in prices. But the demand does
not appear to abate, and the rise in
prices continues.
Wheat exports fall little below
last years, but in three weeks, -four
included, have been $3.50, S71 bushels
for Atlantic ports, against $685. 3l
bushels last year, and ,02l, 1898 bush.
els from Pacific ports, against 901,96
bushels last year. But Western re-
ceipts have been 2l,759,S $50 bushels,
against $4,000, 397 bushels last year,
and even more impressive are the re-
ceipts of lS,5l5,932 bushels of corn,
against 1l,l77,4 1873 bushels last year,
and the exports of 9,20l,427 bushels,
against 5,943, 966 last year.
Further government reports have
been so credited l,road that cotton has
risen to $50 cents, but it comes for
ward more freely than in years of max
imum crops.
When men pay $3 to S. per ton more
than the latest quoted price for iron
products in order to get early deliver
les, it is because delay is threatened on
works or railroads or bridges, vessels
or machinery, promising a profit many
times the cost of a small fraction of the
material. In such circumstances as
in much of the reconstruction and ex-
pansion now going on, present cost
counts for little compared with the
earning power OF the finished product
in u time like this.

Navy DOMBARDS THE REBELS
Works on the Bay Of Subig
Destroyed.
toWN OF OLANoAPo RlDDLEu
Krupp Cannon which the Ib-urgent1
Were Working Was Blown Up by
Landing Party-Town Took Fire.

Manila, Sept. 90. - The cruiser
Charleston, the monitor Monterey and
the gunboats Concord and Zatiro, with
the marines AMI bluejackets from the
cruiser Baltimore, left Cavite Septem-
Der 10, and, as already cabled, pro-
ceeled to Subig bay to destroy an in
surgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather, the opera
ton was postponed until yesterday.
when the warships for three hours bonn
barde.i the town OF Olangapo and the
entertainments where the gun was situ-
ated. Men from the Charleston, Con-
cord and Zafro were then landed I'M
der heavy insurgent fire, proceeding
to the cannon, which was utterly de-
stroyed by guncotton, and then re-
turned to the warships. The Ameri.
cans 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 GAO A. M. yesterday
the Monterey began to advance upon
the town, which was about tpree miles
east of the monitors anchorage. The
Charleston, Concord and Zafiro fol-
lowed. At 1890 the Monterey opened
fire with her secondary and main bat
teries; the Charleston and Concord join
ing Immediately. At 1880 the insur-
gent cannon answered the first shot
passing close to the Monterey's smoke
stack. The gun was fired twice only.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At $3.50 the Monterey
advanced to a range of 600 yards, using
her main battery. Two hundred and
fifty men were landed about 500 yards
east of the cannon at IL O'Clock, under
a severe Mauser fire.
The men from the Charleston were
the first to reach the beach, but the
Concord's men We're the first at the
gun, which they reached at 1l:l0.
The cannon was found to be l6cen-
timeter 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 Olsen exploded 80 pounds of
guncotton in three discharges III 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 leave the
shore and the warships were reached
at 1850.
Cadet Brinzer, with the Concori's
launch, armed with a gatling, did ex-
cellent work on the left of the landing
party. Captain Meyers, of the ma
rines, captured a muzzle-loading field
piece. Lieutenant Mcdonald was in
command of the landing party, and the
movement was splendidly executed and
controlled.
The numbers of the Filipinos there
could not be asceStained, and no dead
were seen.
The Monterey fired for four hours
p shots from her 10-inch guns, and II
from her 12-inch guns. The town,
which was riddled With shells, took fire
at several points.

The Jackson Evening News
gives the people Of the capitol
city very pointed reminder of
the need Of an auditorium thusly:
"Soon the state convention meets,
and Jackson, the capital city Of
the state, has no hall large enough
to house the assembly. Hereto
fore these meetings have been
held in the state house, but now
this hall is not only too small, but
the building is considered very
unsafe, and it would be only
tempting fate and courting one S
destruction to stay in the old
rookery during the sitting Of any
large body there. -
There will be from one to two
thousand representative demo-
Gratis Of the state who will want
to participate in, or witness the
proceedings Of the state conven
ton on 23d of August and days
following, and whatever is to be
done for their comfort and safety
should be done quickly.

Pen, and here they were hung
In the meantime the sheriff took
charge Of Frank Dafatto, Sigh
Deverush and John , and
placed them in Jail. This was
done as the sheriff feared trouble
at the hands Of the mob, and he
hoped in this manner to protect
the Italians.
The mob not being satisfied with
their work, already having hung
two of the Dafatto brothers. they
went to the jail after hearing that
the other Italians had been placed
there for safe keeping, and se-
curing the key to the prison, they
entered the building, secured
their men, and made short work
Of the other three, ali Of them
being hung. Frank Dafatto is
said to have acted coolly, and to
have said that he was as game as
the mambers Of the mob, and to
have denounced them for the mur-
der Of his two brothers.
Today the bodies Of the hanged
mon were taken charge Of bg the
citizens Of Tallulah. They were
placed in plain wooden coffins,
and this evening they were bu-
ried.
The five Italians lynched com
posed the whole of the Italian
population Of the town Of Tallu-
lah.
The lynching of Joseph and
Charles Dafatto took place Thurs.
day evening just about dusk, and
the three men were not taken
from jail and lynched until about
10 o'clock that night. When the
first victims were taken away
from the sheriff the mob was COM
posed Of about one hundred men,
but as the news spread other
members were added to its ranks
and when the men were taken
from the jail probably 150 men
participated or were present.
All Of the citizens Of Tallulah
were not in favor OF lynching the
Italians, for some remarks were
addressed to the mob, they being
asked to desist. But those who
were opposed to the lynching
were in the minority, and the mob
proceeded and were hindered but
little in their purpose
This morning the coroner held
an inquest over the bodies Of the
victims of the mob, and rendered
the verdict that the deceased par
ties had come TO their deaths by
hanging at the hands Of unknown
parties.
i OF the Italians lynched one Of
them was naturalized citizen,
two Of them had taken out their
first papers toward that end,
while the ether two were unnat-
uralized and had made no declar-
ations.
The grand jury has been in ses-
sion here during the past week,
but Thursday evening it finished
its labors and adjourned. 1t was
reconvened today for the purpose
Of investigating the lynching, but
as yet they have come to no con-
clusions and no indictments have
been ordered.
