INSURGENTS ARE DARING.
They Preach Revolt Right Under the
Noses of American Troops.

Manila, Sept. 2S.-The insurgents are
trying to incite the natives of Mala-
bon, a city of 10000 inhabitants, five
miles from Manila, to raise against the
American garrison. Capt. Allen has
been holding the place with two COM
panies of infantry, but on account of
the need of all the available men at
the front, his force has been reduced
TO 20 men. They now remain near
the big church, where they are quar-
tered, being too few in number to at
tempt to patrol the town. Armed
parties of insurgents recently disem-
parked from cascoes during the night,
collected money for the insurrectiou
and preached revolt.
Malabon has been made the shipping
point whence provisions and other
stun are brought from Manila By
trains and shipped into the hostile ter
ritory. The insurgents seem to be
trying to make their good treatment
Of the American prisoners IL card by
which to gain outside sympathy. Two
En2liShmen who have arrived here
from Tarlac report that the Americans
are treated more like guests than pris-
oncrs. They are fed on the best that
the country affords and everything is
done to gain their favor. A Filipino
paper says that on The occasion of d
recent fete at Nittoria, in celebration
of mythical Filipino victory, the
American prisoners there were given
the freedom of the town and five pesos
each with which to celebrate the vic

THE SHAMROCK IN DRf DOCK
The Cup ChaIIenSer's Lines are In
spected by Xachtsmen and They are
Disappointed.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The Shamrock
was yesterday safely drydocked at
Erie basin. There was no attempt to
hide the lines of the yacht from view.
The yard was open to the public until
night and hundreds of yachtsmen
stood for hours while the water was
being pumped out, that they might
get look at the under body and keel
of the yacht.
In the morning her crew were put
to work scraring off the green paint
that covered her top sides, exposing
the metal underneath. just what
metal these two upper streaks Of
plates are composed of is secret,
but it looks much like a composition
of aluminium and nickel. very light and
at the same time very strong.
The Shamrock is a powerful craft
with her greatest beam about where
the masthead runners fasten to the
deck. The under body. which is of
bronze. was covered with slime which
came Oft readily with vigorous appli-
cation OF salt water and brushes, leav-
ing the plates shiny and smooth. When
the hull and keel were fully exposed
there were expressions of disappoint-
ment On all sides. The experts eX-
pected to see something new and a
radical departure from the old type
of English cutter. The Shamrock can
he described as a vessel with Brit
tania body and a defender fin and lead,
including the latters rocker keel but
with greater drau@ht than either.
There is nothing particularly hand
some about the cutters lines except
that they are all curves.

New Temperance Society Comes Into
Existcnce-1ts Aims Outlined.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-A new temper
ance society, the Young Peoples Chris
tan Temperance union, came into be-
ing yesterday in Willard hall. 1t had
somewhat anarchistic birth. The
delegate from Missouri, William X.
Reeme, of Kansas City, advocated the
use of dynamite in spreading temper
unce doctrines by blowing up distil-
leries and breweres. declaring that
violence would furnish the only means
ty which the new society could accom-
plsh its purpose.
The other delegates did not agree
with the delegate from Missouri and
there were decided declarations
against the proposition.
The constitution pledges the newly
formed society to the project OF secur-
ing l,00o.0oG votes for the prohibition
party and of collecting 81 200, 900, or
more if necessary, to save the woman's
temple.

General Griggs yesterday gave hear

in the court martial case of Capt. l..
NJ Carter, of the army. Mr. Mae
Weigh asked for a judicial hearing in
the case, saying that if the president
affirmed the proceedings he would be
guilty of an act OF great cruelty and
wrong. The record was, he contend
ed, so saturated with errors of law
that it is impossible in country gov-
erned by law TO affirm the finding. Mr..
MacFeigh also denied that the finding
of the court had been unanimous,

POLITICS AND CROPS.
Farmers Are Not Losing Any Time
BewaiIing the Sins of the
Money Power.

The prospect of good average wheat
crop in this country is supplemented
by a propitious outlook for corn. 1t
is assumed that there will be, all told,
a 1000. .OOO, ,O0O-bushel crop of corn,
total which has only been reached four
times in the history of American agri-
culture. y scarcity of wheat abroad
will help sell corn at good prices, par
ticularly for export. AS usual, Kan
sas and Nebraska are near the head OF
the list as producers, the former with
an estimated yield of 400, 100000 bush
els, and the latter with 5O,00O,OOO.
There is some danger that the output
will be lessened by bad weather, but
not much, and the farmers are looking
forward with as great confidence TO
good luck with corn as they are with
wheat.
1t does not often happen that large
crops are synonymous with big prof
its or that the farmers are able to get
their full share at any time OF general
prosperity; but the rule has been
steadily reversed since the summer of
1897. Big crops have happened to come
luSt IN time 10 meet Digger cash ue-
mand, and the prosperity which now
floods the country reached the farm
ers first. Moreover, it is staying with
them, a fact which accounts, among
other things, for the almost utter alb
sence in the middle west of political
interest. When times were bad there
was more politics than wheat or corn
to the acre of inhabited soil; now it
is impossible even for Bryan to raise
a crowd which will more than pay ex-
penses in gate money. Nothing fails
so soon in the middle west as populist
newspaper; nothing eXcites less notice
than "a populist orator. The farmers,
instead of bewailng the sins of the
money power, are lifting mortgages
and buying pianos and otherwise COM
porting themselves like people in rising
fortunes. When they vote it will he
TO let well enough alone, for who more
than they realizes the part which a re-
vived manufacturing industry is play
ing in the demand for their commodi-
ties? But they are not going to get
excited about it all. They have too
much to occupy their minds already

In all Mrs. Crofts has seen seventeen
tigers killed, and innumerable panthers.

THIS SETTLES 1T.
Little Doubt of Ratification of the
Treaty Now.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Senator Spoon
err expressed the belief that the situa-
ton at Manila would convince the sem
ate of the necessity for prompt action.
This attack clears the situation he
said. I'VE are holding Manila as the
result of our effort to eXpel the Spanish
and maintain order in a community
where there was danger that the re-
sentiment growing out of the war
might bring on disorder and bloodShed,
for which the world would hold the
United States responsible. The ratifca-
ton of the treaty will make complete
our duty to insist upon order, even by
force.
ITO have retired voluntarily from Ma
Mia might have been conceivable a
month ago but the idea. of being driven
from the Philippines by the people for
whose benefit our fight against Spain
was made will, in my estimation, be re-
garded as intolerable. We are not
lighting the F'ilipinOs. We are only
maintaining our right to preserve or

Senator Plat of Connecticut said:

intoxicating liquor.
Q. K. Swayze made affidavit that he

juror.
An affidavit concerning Juror William
Keck is made by A. K. Fulford as fol-
lows;
In the course of said conversation 1
asked him how the Collins trial was
getting along. He told me very slow
ly. William Humbert then mentioned
the fact that said William Keck was a
juror in the Collins case, and said Will
liam Keck then stated that he was
juror in that case, and that he could
not talk about it. The said William
Keck and I continued our conversation
for some time and in the course of the
conversation he stated to me in an I'M
dertone that the Collins case was as
hard a. case as the Novels case. But,
he added in a low tone and very earn
estly, Collins is guilty. This CONVEX
sation took place after the jury had
been impaneled in the above entitled
case, and before the verdict was rem
dered."
