on the wires of his cage with the

For the moment the manager had
stood by, helplessly. But when he
heard the "Filipino" abuse the "fnest
show on the Bowery," and recognized
the malice of his attempt to frighten
away the full haul of gudgeon that was
coming into his net, he rushed upon
the cage with an agonized and en-.
ragged Drunken fool' that lifted above
the storm of laughter like woman s
scream in a shipwreck. The object in
the cage answered it with an iuarticu-
late howl in the same pitch of voice,
and the mirth of the audience fol-
lowed in n screech. The manager
grasped the wires and shook them
| furiously. "Aguinaldo" pounded his
fingers with the bottle, yelling like a
demon. Then, 'Snipey," awakening
from stupor OF bewiderment, slipped
the fastening on the cage and threw
of the top. The shrill cry of "the
warrior and wild man" was
choked in his throat by the
fingers of the raging manager. But
the Filipino" was no weakling. He
threw himself forward, pounding his
assailant. The cage came over with
him. The two men rolled together
on the platform, the painted demon
on top. 'Snipey" jumped to the res
cue, and was wrapped mp in tangle
of arms and legs that kicked and
fought and tore the clothes of the
Mexican and the manager with fe-
rocity that would have shamed the
most determined Filipino that ever
fought. a mob, gathering in from
the street, howled and applauded.

1t was wild minute before "Aguin-
aldo" was choked into helplessness,
carried bodily into the Hall OF Illu-
sions and held face down, with "Sni-
pey" on his shoulders, until the man
ager cleared out the crowd. When a
slow policeman came up to the gaping
mob at the windows, he found the
front door shut and all quiet within.
"Aguinaldo" was sleeping peacefully
on the Goor, covered with a curtain
from the Turkish harem. "Snipey''
was sitting by the stove upstairs, sew
ing up the rents in his Mexican cos
tune. The manager was bathing his
face in the sink.

officer. "Oh, another Filipino revolt.

The outer door would be locked as usual,

it was 80.
The next morning, as Jane and went
out for stroll before luncheon, we had
to pass the house to which had driven

zatlons that attend it. The negro no more votes now in the negro counties of south eastern Virginia than he will vote under a property and intelligence qualification He does not vote now, and he will not vote then. He really has nothing of a present practical nature at stake, but the whites who suffer from ballot box irregu- larities have great deal at stake.
 It is not to be doubted that the Virginia convention will adopt some provision that will save the illiterate whites of the mountain counties from disfranchisement. Some of the delegates favor the Mississippi plan, and some the Louisiana plan. but whichever is adopted will be endorsed by the people who chiefly desire escape at any cost from ballot box frauds.
 The Washington Star, an independent paper threatens the southern states that deprive black ignorance of the suffrage privilege with a lessened representation in congress; but such a threat, even if 1t had force and eminence behind it, would not stay the people of the south from ef- forts to get out of the suffrage difficulties they have been plunged into.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL

From the Washington Times.
 Senator Morgan continues in and out of
 season his persistent and strenuous advo-
 cacy of the Nicaragua canal bill. The
 Philippine government bill was before the senate yesterday and in a speech opposing it the distinguished Aabamian took occa- sion to make some energetic remarks urg ing his favorite measure. Senator Morgan has the south behind him in the fight he is making for the bill, and we believe it is likewise favored by a large majority of the people of the whole country.
 The senator charges that a company re- gently formed in the east to construct and operate a Panama canal has joined with
 the ns-continental railroads in fighting the measure. Certainly from some quar- ter there is impeachment and delay. The measure strangely hangs fire in the senate, considering the large majority vote which passed it in the house and the strong pop ular sentiment there is behind it. Both of the leading political parties are pledged to the canal bill. The republican platform of 1892 declared "the building of the Niea- ragua canal is of the highest importance to the American people," and in 1896 it was again urged in the party platform that "the Nicaragua canal should be built,
 owned and operated by the United States" Democratic platforms have been equally as pronounced and explicit on the subject. But the republicans have large working majority in the senate, and the duty of re- deeming these platform pledges new fc-
 wolves on them. It will be a party mis-
 take if the bill be not passed to a con-
 clusion at the present session of con- gress.
 In the meantime, Senator Morgan de- serves especial praise for the brave and untiring effort he is making to have the bill brought to vote.

THE KOAk OF A l,ArrLE

Richard Harding Davis in June Scribner's.
 The roar of the navy's four-point- their crash, their rush as they passed, the shrill whine of the shrapnel, the barking of the Howitzers, and the mechanical, regular rattle of the quiek-fring Maxims, which sounded like the clicking of many moving machines on a hot summers day, tore the air with such hideous noises that ones skull ached from the concussion, and one could only be heard by shouting. But more impressive by far than this hot chorus of mighty thunder and petty hammering was the roar of the wind which was driven down into the valley beneath, and which swept up again in enormous waves of sound. It roared like great hurricane at sea. The illusion was so complete that you expected, by looking down, to see the Tu- gela flashing at her banks tossing the spray hundreds of feet in air, and battling with her sides of rock It was the roar of Mag ara in gale, and yet when you did look below not a leaf was stirring, and the Tu- gea was slipping forward, flat and sluggish, and in peace.
