ALL But Two Killed
by the Filipinos

Vancouver. b. c., Jan. l1.-Advices
from Manila say that Benjamin J.
Green, coxswain, and George NJ. Pow
ers, first-class apprentice, are the sole
survivors, so far as known, of the luck
less American gunboat Uardaneta. The
Uardaneta was taking soundings near
Oarangi and went aground.
The natives, seeing what happened,
sent word to the insurgent troops at
Oarangi and a strong force marched
down through the woods and took pos
session of both banks. Suddenly they
opened fire on all sides of the little YES
sci, wounding most of the crew at the
first volley. Lieutenant Wood, who
was in command, was wounded In
three places during the first few min
utes. Seeing that the vessel was
doomed he had boat lowered, hoping
by this means to escape down stream,
but the boat was riddled while being
lowered. BY this time seven of the
crew were killed or disabled. Only
Green, Powers and three others re-
manned active. The insurgents, grow
ing holder, waded into the shallow wa
ter and overpowered them by sheer
force of numbers. A few days later
when the Oregon was seen approach
ing, the men made dash for liberty,
but they were recaptured and SEN
fenced to death for the attempt. The
execution was to take place at day
break during the night they again
escaped. Green and Powers climbed
into a tree, hid in the dense foliage at
the top while the Filipinos searched
the woods around them.
The other three Americans were
probably recaptured and killed. All
that night they could hear the Fill
pinos searching for them, but next
morning they went away. After ira
yelling two days without food they
reached the coast and were taken on
board the Oregon.

Inconsistent and ponderous as usual
the Advertiser calls down the Chinese
Consul for nagging the local govern
ment, and then follows the Chinese
COnsul's example by nagging the chief
of the Police Department who has more
important work on his hands than all
the diplomatic idols of the Executive
Building put together. If there is any
opening for move to increase the
complications of the present situation,
the people can depend upon the Adver-

The best refutation of the charge
that the Chinese prefer to exist on
charity, is yesterdays action of the
Chinese merchants which has been for
mally presented to the government. 1t
is true that the Chinese have at times
been badly ratified during the present
crisis, but they have not been more
antagonistic to the authorities than
certain white citizens who have at
tempted to discredit the work of the
Board of Health The Chinese have
been hit hard financially, which to
many of them is worse than death, but
the majority of the intelligent members
of the colony have not been more OBJ
streperous than the ruling contingent
of the city would be under the same
circumstances. The Chinese are ready
to care for their own acknowledgement

kicking them when they're down?

ADVICE FROM NEW YORK.
The New York Age, after bulldozing

for while last week, appeared In the
roll Of adviser, and these am the words
it said:

get nothing by gyrating around the

instead Of right. What we want him
to do is to so act that we can know in
the morning five shsll fiDd HIM where
we left him the night before.
And the Express answered, saying:
Now, In our opinion, the editor Of the
Dallas Express has struck only the fel.
low who struck him. This turning Of

The Range Cbeck. rubercuIo.,,.


The potency for evil of the tuber-
culous germ depends greatly on the
conditions under which it gains &C
cess to, and the resisting power of, the
recipient. Under such conditions as
generally prevail in the artificial
Gated animals, tuberculosis is strictly
contagious. Under range conditions
as Iexist in the western states, it is
very feebly, if at all, contagious
Quarantine measures are an ineffectu-
al preventive against the disease under
most conditions, and certainly I'M
necessary and impracticable in the
case of range cattle. The disease is
insidious in it's action, and usually of
very slow progress, and absolutely i'm
possible of detection by ordinary in
spection, except in advanced cases
The remedy against purchase of in
fected breeding stock lies in the hands
Of the individual more than of the
state, as proof of freedom from the
disease can be exacted of the vendor.
The tuberculin test is the only reliable
test of the existence of the disease.
The spread of the disease can be
checked by preventive measures based
upon the conditions favorable to its
occurrence, more than by direct at
tempts to isolate and destroy the germ.
Official action should be confined to
the prevention of the spread of the
disease to mankind by the sale of tu-
berculous animal products, and be I'M
dertaken by the public health authori-
ties. There is at present no fear
whatever of tuberculosis endanger-
ing the range cattle of the western
states.-Dr Chas. Cresswell.

Profits Of German Farms,

Consul-General Guenther writes
from Frankfort, April %, 1900: For
the purpose of furnishing information
with reference to new commercial
treaties, investigation concerning the
profitableness of a large number OF
farms have been made by the author
tiles in the kingdom of Wurttemberg.
Ninety-four were selected, including
the smallest and those of several hun
dred acres. The appraised value
amounted to $2,970,0OO; the average
value per acre, to s225, varying from
SIS to $3.50. The average profit per
acre was 81, or 1.72 per cent of the to-
tai appraised value. The several es-
adjustments, however, showed very
different results. OF the ninety-four
farms, nine worked with a loss.
OF the remainder, only sixteen return
ed interest on the working capital;
nineteen yielded per cent on the
working capital and per cent on the
investment for buildings; fifty yielded
per cent on the working capital and
per cent on the capital invested in
buildings, and in addition an income
on the lands ("Grundrente"), which
latter in two instances amounted to
SIT per cent.

Commercial Brokers.

Kansas City, Aug. "A ruling of

of so per cent increase if delay in
payment is made.
Heretofore commercial broker has
not been very clearly defined in the
new law. This ruling says: persons
whose business it is to buy or sell
grain Tor other merchandise on COM

toners are commercial brokers, are
required to pay special tax as such,

chases or sales in their own names
