General Summary.


Cooler weather with less sunshine
and more rain characterized the
weather during the past week. Farm
work has been somewhat delayed in
southern sections,w where the heaviest
rain fell. In central-northern
counties more rain is needed by all
crops. A severe thunderstorm in
Clermont county on the Sth, was ac-
companied by hail at New Rich
mond; considerable damage was
done by hail and lightning.
Except where the rainfall was
lightest, all vegetation has made a
repid growth during the week.
Meadows and pastures are in excel
lent condition, gardens are growing
well, and grains are luxuriant.
Glover is coming into bloom in some
fields, and the condition of this crop
is generally improving. Rye and
barley are growing fast and heading.
Oats are not encouraging in some
central-eastern counties, but most
correspondence in other districts re-
port that this crop is growing very
fast.
Corn planting is underway in prac-
tically all districts. A few have
completed while others are just be-
ginning. Flowing and planting has
been somewhat delayed on lowlands
in southern counties by the rain.
The earliest planted has started
nicely, and some has been cultivated.
The later planted is starting slowly.
The last part of the week has been
too cool for the best growth of this
crop.
The outlook for strawberries is ex-
cellent; they are coming into mar
ket in southern counties. Some
peach trees that leafed and blossom
ed have since died. Several cores
pondents report ounces, pears and
apples to be dropping badly. The
outlook for pears does not seem to be
30 favorable in some southern coun-
ties. Cherries and plums are falling
but indicate good crop. Prospect
for grapes is good.
Wheat is heading on many fields.
The stalks are rather short on some
dry land whore the rainfall has been
least; but on rich lowlands 1t is fear
ed that the growth is too rank, and
that it will lodge. There has been
an improvement in the wheat pros
pect in most counties.
Potatoes are coming poorly on
some fields, but generally the pros
pect is excellent; they are being
cultivated. Tobacco plants are
plentiful and of good size; trans
planting has begun. Onions have a
good average stand; cultivation is
progressing rapidly.

BIRDS SHY OF WlNOsToRMs
Tactics They Pursue to Escape impending
Danger.

Tactics They Pursue to Escape lmpsndinc
Danger.
The power of the winds Is dreaded
by almost all ordinary birds. and nm
instructive knowledge seems to he pos
sessed by them that If they once sur.
render to the force of the winds un.
known dangers will have to be fnccd
Consequently, when high storm pre-
walls, all birds seek shelter of some
kind. The strong winged sea birds are
Inc last to take fright at the approach
ing hurricane, but even they will final
ly try to escape its fury beneath the
shelter of some cliff or sand dune.
During tremendous windstorms birds
may sometimes be seen flying overhead
Mt great altitude. When this phc-
nomenon is observed 1t may he taken
for granted that the upper atmosphere
is comparatively quiet and that the dis
turbance is confined chiefly to the
lower regions. Many sea birds seek
the upper air of common quietness dur
ing tropical hurricanes.
When a heavy wind or gale springs
up the gulls, terms and petrels will
fly back and forth over the waters
surface, rising and falling, and utter
ing their peculiar cries of warning. If
the storm extends too high up they will
drift gradually with the wind or fly
away to the edge of the hurricane.
Very often they get caught uneXpect-
edly in the gales of wind and they find
themselves in a dangerous position.
Then they struggle with might and
main against the powers of the air
currents. Knowing that danger and
death face them if they once come
under the dominion of the wind, they
use all the strength and tactics they
are capable of to combat the elements
A young herring gull, Il petrol or tern
thus surprised will beat up against
the wind with powerful fight. 1t will
rise high in the air facing the gale and
making a little progress forward as
well as upward. Then it will suddenly
descend with rapid flight toward one
side of the storm-swept path, but fall
ing off at the time in the direction of
the blowing wind. Once more it will
sweep around and face the storm, as
cending heavenward and striking des-
perately out toward the direction of
the storm.

Fight West of Bacoor.

linus, Luzcn, Oct. 4.-Gen. Lawton has
dispersed the Insurgents, driving them
to the westward. The purpose of the
rebels was to cut off the communication
maintained between Bacoor and linus
by means of the road between those
places at point between linus and the
cast bank of the river. The insurgents
had trenches along the west bank, COM
manding the open spaces.
A force of 1,500 rebels attacked linus
and 600 proceeded against Baccor with
detachments along the river.
Yesterday morning Col. Daggett's
force spread along the road from Ba-
coor toward linus. and three companies
of the Fourth Regiment, under Capt.
Hollis, were thrown out from linus, the
two commands forming junction. The
entire lire crossed the river and drove
the Filipinos from their trenches to the
westward through the rice fields and
thickets.
The marines. whose services were
rendered by Admiral Watson. crossed
the river near the bay, forming a part
Of the line of advance
Before the forward movement was be-
gun the American artillery shelled the
enemys position. The only American
casualty was the wounding of a lieuten-
ant of artillery. Several wounded Fill
pinos were attended by Surgeon Major
Penrose and members of the ambulance
corps. A number of prisoners We're
taken.
Gen. Iawton, while riding up the road
to linus, was the target for many
shots.
The telegraph line was cut at a bend
in the road commanded by the enemys
trenches hundred yards distant, and
when Lieut. Cunningham with repair
party appeared to restore the wires two
men and Lieut.. cunningham's horse
were shot. Lieut.. McCloskey then
brought a gun OF Reilley's battery into
the open and, training it on the
trenches, dispersed the Filipinos with
two well aimed shots.
The fight was practically ended at 9
o'clock Another illustration of the in
surgent policy of evading meeting the
Americans in force was furnished by
the fact that when our line swept
across several miles of country, firing
by volleys and cheering, the Filipinos
melted before them and 1T was only oc-
casionally that glimpses of the enemy
could be obtained as they ran from
bushes like rabbits. One body of the
enemy under former mayor of linus
retreated toward Perez Das Marinas,
and another In the direction of San
Francisco de Malabon.
Lieut. Knabenshue, with party of
scouts, crossed the river and found
twenty-eight dead Filipinos in the
trenches. fifteen of whom had been
killed by one shell.
When the marines marched into linus
the soldiers cheered them and Gen.
Lawton complimented them upon their
work. One detachment from Cavite
was commanded by Capt. Haines and
another from the Baltimore by Capt.
Myers.
The first wagon train with provisions
to reach linus in three days has arrived
and two companies of the Fourteenth
regiment from towns along the bay
have marched In to relieve the Fourth
: regiment, whose members have been
kept awake in the trenches day and

Youn. Farmer suicides,

Special to Times Republican.
Northwood, Oct. 4.-ole Y. Monot, a
young farmer 26 years of age. COM
mitted suicide yesterday fornoon by
shooting. The young man. who was liv-
ing with his parents in Hartland town
ship, about six miles west of here, was
much given to drink, a habit which he
in vain tried to overcome. This. in con-
nection with the fact that young girl
to whom he paid attentions refused tc
respond to his overtures, made him de-
spondent and doubtless induced the
rash act, which some who knew him
said he had been contemplating for
some time.

TO PUSH THE WAR.
Active Campaign Against tho Fill
pinos Is ContempIatcd

ActIVe campaign Against the Fill.
pinos Is Contemplated.
Washington, Oct. 4.-President Nc
Kinley's policy on the Philippines was
officially outlined after conference
held by him with advisers at the con-
clusion of the Dewey dinner at the
white house last night.
1t is to push the war to successful
conclusion with all possible vigor, and
when peace comes to submit to con-
gress for settlement the question of the
future of the islands.
This program was announced after
the conference by Congressman Bou-
telle of Maine, chairman of the house
committee on naval affairs. Mr.. Bou-
telle made this statement for publica-
ton:
THE administration policy is to carry
out the manifest will OF the American
people in furnishing troops to go to the
Philippine islands to sustain the fruits
of Admiral Dewey's victory.
The duty that now devolves upon
this government is to maintain our SOW
ereignty over the islands and sustain
our soldiers against any enemy and
against any disturbance of law and or
der, everything being for the purpose
of establishing rightful government
for the people of the islands in such
manner as the American government
through the congress shall determine.
THE campaign must be pushed ac-
lively and vigorously, and the opposi-
ton to our army must be ended as rap
| idly as possible. Peace must be estab-
lished by this government and main
tanned thereby until congress shall de-
termine what shall be done with the,
islands.
From what the president said, it is
proposed to bend every resource to the
stamping out of all opposition to our
authority, to the settlement of the war,
and to the establishment and mante-
nance of peace.
Besides Congressman Boutelle those
at the conference We're Secretary Root
Secretary Hitchcock. Attorney General
Griggs, Senator Hanna, former Secre-
| tary Cornelius N. Bliss and Myron T..
Herrck of Cleveland. There was an in
formal talk on the Philippine situation,
during which the president in a. few
words stated his position. as later de-
| fined by Congressman Boutelle.
Admiral Dewey will have an impor-
| tant conference with President NfcSin-
| ley on the same subject Mt II o'clock
| this morning. The meeting is by ap-
| pointment made last evening. and is for
| the purpose of a full consultation over
! the situation in the islands. 1t will be
| the first formal conference between the
president and the returning admiral.
