DOWN IN CAVITE,
General Schwan's Expedition Accom-
plishes Its Object.

Manila, Oct. 16.-General Schwan's
expedition, having accomplished its OBJ
Ject, the troops are all returning to
their former positions, abandoning the
towns taken.
General Schawn is en- route from
Peres Desmarimas to linus with the
infantry, while the artillery and cav
airy and all mule teams are retracing
their route from Malabon to Bacoor,
with the signal corps removing the
wires. Genreal Trias, with the organ
lzed bodies of insurgents, retreated to
Slang and indian, at the base of the
mountain.
In Cavite province, the scene of the
hottest fights and their great successes
over the Spaniards, the Filipinos might
nave been expected to make resolute
stand, If anywhere, but after their
whippings at Cavite Viejo and Nove-
leta, their tactics consisted chiefly in
continuous exhibition of their agility
and their transformation from warriors
to amigos.
The marines, while reconnoitering
about the scene of Sundays encounter,
find that the trenches have been already
reoccupied, although the enemy mani
tested more than their usual willing
ness to retreat before the Americans.
AT Malabon, the Americans corralled
200 or 800 natives, supposed to be
fighting men. A few of them were
caught with arms in their hands, but
large numbers were found in hiding,
dressed in khaki, like the American
uniform. A majority of them were in
the garb of amigos, but they are sus-
pected of shooting at the troops from
houses, a growing habit, which -four
ished throughout the advance whenever
small parties of Americans strayed
from the main body. The prisoners
are white elephant on the hands of
the Americans.

SHOT HIS RECREANT WIFE.
Bullet Intended for the Man Who Was
In the Room With Her.


Oregon City, Or, Oct. 16.-A.
Brooks, of Canemah, who is employed
in the paper mills, returned home un-
expectedly between II and II O'Clock
last night and found Frank Freeman
and Mrs. Brooks together in the house.
He shot at Freeman with his revolver,
but missed the mark and one of the
bullets entered Mrs. Brooks abdomen,
perforating the intestines and lodging
against the hip bone. DR.. Carl ex-
tracted the bullet, but says the woman
cannot live. Freeman was arrested
this afternoon, charged with assault
upon the woman, and was bound over
to the circuit court.
Brooks says he found Mrs. Brooks
younger sister in the front room with
Pat Freeman, and in the rear room
found his wife and Frank Freeman.
He fired four shots, two hitting the
body of Mrs. Brooks. He further says
he has been carrying pistol for a
month, expecting to return home at
midnight and find Freeman with his
wife, but he did not muster enough
courage to return until last night.
Freeman's father and two brothers
were drowned nearly two years ago by
accidentally going over the falls in a
row boat. The Brookses have only
resided here short time.

Labor Scarce at Fairhaven.

Labor is so scarce in Fairhaven,
Wash, that railroad contractors and
others are delaying work on various
enterprises until more plentiful supply
of workmen are to be had-a change
from three years ago, when laboring
men were sitting around on the curb
stones, waiting for something to turn
up. Fairhaven's pay roll is almost 16
times larger than it was two years ago,
with certainty of an increase next
year.

BRADsTREET'S REVIEW.
Distributive Trade Is Still of an En-.
couraging Volume.

couraging Volume.
Bradstreets says: Distributive trade,
while smaller at some markets, is still
of encouraging volume, industry is ac-
tive, railway earnings heavy, prices
still tend upward and bank clearings
increase, while failures lessen. Fall
festivals and other celebrations at sew
eral cities have had an appreciable
effect upon retail trade, and proved
stimulating factor in wholesale lines.
Industrial activity is widespread, and
strikes are fewer and less costly than
In most years. Though lessened by
holidays, bank clearings, swelled partly
by heavy October disbursements and
partly by general business expanding,
tend to enlarge as the season advances.
Business failures are apparently at
minimum, and liabilities are certain
ly less costly than for many years past.
Prices as a whole manifest aggressive
strength. Farm products are especial.
ly prominent in this direction, the
South's greatest staple, cotton, owing
to short crop, advancing, and, owing
to active speculation leading in extent
of gain with an advance of nearly q
a cent for the week, of nearly cents
as compared with year ago and of
quite az cents as compared with the
low water price touched in the season
of 1889.
Iron and steel hold all of their old
strength.

the man who gave up $17O of the money
stolen from the United States mails on

Alexander as the one planning the rob-
berry, with the two boys as his accom-

attention of Judge Bellinger, of the

The Theatre From The inside.

surprising facts with which Mr.. Frank
lin Fyles, the dramatic editor of the
New York Sun, will open an important
series in the next issue of The Ladies
Home Journal. The series will be called
THE Theatre and Its People, and
will run through seven numbers OF the
magazine, layishly illustrated with pic
lures made by twelve different artists.
The articles win treat of every phase Of
the theqtre, the play and the actor.

theatre IS managed; the actual money
which plays have made; how an actor
il trained md what the actors are ac-
tually paid; how a play Is written and
what the authors rectiTe; how play Is
rehearsed; the first night Of a play;how
the actresses ''make up and hat they
use; aud IN a minute way the two list
articles will show what goes on behtnd
the scenes on the stage during per-
formance. IL i curious fact that this

and the actor have ever been exhaus-
lively treated in a magazine, and that
there Il no book on the subject in ex-
istence.
