POPULAR GIRL VOTE CONTEST
Hugging Close to Each Other Down in Par
asol Row.
INVASION THREATENED ABOVE AND BELOW
And Chance for One of Boston Stores
Silk ParasoIs Will Depend on
Good Judgment in Casting
Vote of Today.
INVASION THREATENED ABOVE AND BELOW

1t would take a wiser man that Solomon
to determine just now who will bear off the
Boston Store silk parasols to be awarded
to the second four from head of list in the
count after today's vote in The Popular Girl
Vacation Contest, which will close at 7:30
D. m. sharp and will be reported in The
Sunday Bee. The present occupants of para
sol row range little over 100 votes apart, a
development which is rather significant and
will make a basis for study in determining
how much of a vote to cast the last day OF
the parasol contest. 1t will be noticed that
Miss Gunnell, who dropped out of the row
yesterday, has returned and gone to the
head Of the list while Miss Pearl Sunderland,
who was steadily gaining all the week, has
at last lodged in the favored goal-whether
to remain or not the vote of today, when
counted will tell. On the other hand Miss
Ocumpaugh has passed into the upper tier,
close to Miss Donner neither too FAR up but
that they may be passed and left in the
winning row. The occupants of the row
are indeed in a strange predicament for If
they cast too light vote they are in danger
OF being passed by several now below, and
If they vote too many they are liable to
find themselves landed in the upper tier.
This is what makes the contest the more
interesting, and the result as published in
The Sunday Bee will be eagerly look for.
The following is the record of those re-

-Four Mounted Robbers, However, Msds OF Without
Securing Any Booty.

Trinidad. Col, July 12.-South bound
passenger train No. 1, on the Colorado
and Southern railroad, was robbed by
four men at a point five miles South
of Folsom, N. NJ. The hold-up occurred
at 10:30 last night, at the same point at
which the passenger train was held up
last September.
After the train had been brought to
a standstill and the crew had been in
Inundated by guns, the robbers used
dynamite. blowing open the sides of the
express car. Nothing was secured by
the robbers from the express car. As
soon as the robbers had searched the
car they mounted horses which were
hitched nearby, and firing few shots
to alarm trainmen and passengers fed
without any attempt to go through the
mail car.

ORANGEMEN ARE CELEBRATING.
Nesdy 1000 Of Them Are Fnl,Tng The AnnI'srs,p

There was a most decided tinge OF
yellow about Crescent Park today but
nothing whatever yellow about the
large party that was enjoying the
many pleasures of Boyden's Coney ISL
and OF the East. Fully 1900 Orangemen
were celebrating the 18th of July at
Crescent Park, and. with such delight
fui weather. IL is needless to say that
they had a glorious time.
In addition To a large number of the
members of the order from Providence
and Pawtucket. there was very
strong contingent from Whitinsville
and clinton. Mass, and they brought
with them Stones Continental band
and the Whitinsvillc brass band, which
together with the really excellent music
furnished by the Banda Napoli, under
the direction Of sig. Capone. made u
quite a musical day at Mr.. Boyden's
very popular resort.
The Orangemen too In all the fea-
lures at Crescent Park. and their GIT

Washington. July 12.-"The United
States should receive the absolute sur
render OF all rebels I'm the Philippine
Islands within As days after the OPEN
ing OF the Fall campaign. The officers
now in command In the Philippines
should be re-assured for that event.
Gen. Wheeler must be put at the head
of brigade or in command OF as large
a body of cavalry as can be raised in
the Philippine Islands"
These foregoing conclusions have
been reached by the president after
special conference with Major Gen.
Merritt, formerly military governor OF
the Philippines. Gen. Merritt was called
to the city by the president TO discuss
the fall campaign against the rebel FIJI
ipinos.
At the war department II was stated
that Gen. Merritt did not appear here
on the invitation Of the president, but
that on the contrary, when Gen. Mer-
ritt went TO the White House the pres
ident was surprised, but agreeably so
The war department officials in the ex-
ecutive offices always resent the impu-
tation that the president seeks any ad-
vice on military matters other than
from the secretary of war or Adjutant
| Gen. Corbin but, as a matter of fact.
| II Is known that Gen. Merritt was sent
| for by President Mckinley.
| Gen. Merritt had a long conference
| with the president, Secretary Alger be-
| ing present. Secretary Hay was also
! present, but IL is said that he was not
OF the comforting party. The secretary
| Of war and Gen. Merritt returned TO the
war department, where another, confer
| ence was held. After these conferences
Gen. Merritt was asked If he could
state the object OF his visit to the
| White House. He declined TO say a word
about the proceedings other than this:
II came over 10 talk about military
| matters and that is as far as il is
| proper for me TO speak at this time"
Secretary Alger said: Gen. Merritt
| called on the president. and with me he
| talked about army matters, but not
| with reference To the volunteer army"
| The facts are. as obtained from other
sources. that the president desired to
get from Gen. Merritt his suggestions
for a quick and complete conquest Of
the Philippines. The president obtain
| ed from Gen. Merritt his opinion as to
| the best reassignments for the fighting
| brigadiers and other officers in the ISL
| ands, and in general, the best strategic
| disposition of the troops for the opens
| ing days Of the campaign.
II is learned that the president was
| advised TO give Gen. Wheeler the ac-
| tive command OF a brigade and IL not
| OF a brigade 10 give him the command
| of as large body of cavalry as Gen.

BEAUTIFUL WATER WITCH.
A Stou That Utterly discounts he Sea Serpent
Comes From Atlantic Cir.

Atlantic City. n. j.. July 1.-THE sea
serpent is doomed for its, rival has put
in an appearance at the shore. william
Mahlin, a Baltimore visitor, was on the
ocean pier on Monday night, when, ac-
cording to his story, he was startled
10 see a white robed beautiful young
girl walking -pensively across the
waves. In a moment she was gone.
Mahlin said nothing, fearing ridicule,
hut last night he took three friends.
Rowe Russell OF Cleveland, o., and
Miss Ethel Brown and Miss Hattie
Hampton of Baltimore, into his conf
dence. and related his experiences. At
a corresponding hour last night the
four walked TO the end OF the pier.
They declared that they were rewarded
by seeing the same beautiful water
witch, who slowly paced the dancing
waves. never turning her head, and
vanishing in the distance.
The sceptical scoff at the story, and
say that as a cinematograph exhibition
is being given on the pier II would be
quite a reasonable thing to suppose
that a ray of light carrying a moving
picture could be projected through an
open window on the shadow Of the dark
waters below.

Days After Campaign Opens.
President Mckinley and General Merritt
Fix the Probable Future Course Of
the War in the East.

Otis can raise between now and the 1st
OF November. The president had at the
conference Gen. Otis telegram stating
that Il was not necessary to send cav
airy horses to the Philippines, In other
words, that a sufficient number of
horses can be obtained there. 1t 10
likely that Gen. Wheeler will get 70
cavalry command.
The president said to Gen. Merritt
that ne thought II of vital Importance.
not only TO the army, but for proper
international effect, that the Filipino
rebellion should be suppressed sum-
marily after the reinforced army In the
islands takes the field. 1t would be
expected of the United States that,
Judgment having been passed on the
sufficiency of the army required to do
the work, IL should be done promptly
and with honor to the army. Gen.
Merritt coincided with these views.
1t can be stated on very high author
ity that the president expects that the
rebellion will be crushed within As days
after the opening or the next campaign.
Gen. Merritt, IL is understood, made no
invidious comments on the ability or
bravery of Gen. Otis, but the air today
is full of the report that when the fight.
ing begins there will be new maJor-
general To direct the $4,000 troops des-
ignated TO begin tho campaign. The
new commanding officer may be Maj
Gen. Miles or 1t may be MAJ. Gen. Mer-
ritt himself.

London. July 12-The stranded Am
erican line steamer Paris has been
moved astern 100 yards. and her POSI-
ton has been shifted slightly to the
eastward. The salvagers hope to be aole
to fight the after stoke held fires today.
The Paris is now clear of rocks.
The intention OF the salvagers was
simply TO slew the stern of the liner so
as TO facilitate the operations OF the
divers but IL was found that she moved
more freely than was expected. Ihree
salvage boats practically removed her
from critical position unaided. She
still has list TO the starboard, now
ever, and cannot be assumed TO De out

The German salvagers are elated at
their unexpected success In floating the
Paris. She had been weighted with
nearly a thousand tons of granite at
the stern with view OF hosting her
bows free from the rock. The divers
had difficulty In getting at the rock
and this was the reason for the tenta-
tive effort to move her.

Let Down Easy.

The offending conductor, who on
Tuesday with his gravel train
blocked the Broadway street cross
ing, was let down easy when taken
before Justice Sheldon Tuesday after
noon. The conductor was perhaps
not so much to blame as some of his
superiors. BY opening the crossing
a great deal OF time is lost by a large
crew of men and the company would
no doubt rather pay a fine than
comply with the law in that respect,
as it is not only in haste to complete
the work there, but the delay is fully
as much in dollars and cents by
reason OF the crew being idle, as the
fine would amount to. However,
1t did not appear that the conductor
was much to blame and as he ex-
planned that there would only be
four more train loads OF gravel to
unload there, and upon his promise
to have them unloaded early in the
morning and late in the afternoon.
when the traffic was light, Justice
Sheldon let him off with the pay
ment OF the costs In the case, sans
the fine, which perhaps should have
been paid by someone higher in au.
thority than he. Il .,
