LETTERS FUNSTON GOT
Reiterate the Statement That the In
surrection VIII End if Me-
kinley Wins

Washington, Oct 3.-The War de-
partment is in receipt of some more
Filipino papers which We're captured
by American soldiers and sent TO the
United States 10y General Mac Arthur.
Among these documents are letters
from Theodore Sandico and f.. Regio,
agents for the Filipino junta at Hong
Kong. The political situation in the
United States is discussed in these
letters. In the one addressed by
Sandico to Lieutenant Colonel Cast
miro Tinio the writer says:
"The present campaign and some
America a political situation that
may perhaps produce the downfall of
Mckinley, which will signify the
triumph of our ideals. For the same
reason the disastrous war in the
Transvaal and more especially the
fierce revolution in China, have Gre
ated political atmosphere sufficiently
critical to cause the birth of a dis
turbance of the armed peace of the
great powers that may result favor
ably to our aspirations: because
America may prefer to sacrifice some
of her plans with respect TO the Philip
pine islands accepting our independ-
euce under her protectorate, rather
than sustain two wars and run the
risk of losing the whole archipelago.
/ believe, then, under the conditions
so favorably colored 10y The present
circumstances it is necessary that We
continue the struggle and accept
peace only on base of independence,
although under an American pro
tectorate.
"If the reelection of Mckinley bt
accomplished and the revolution il
China be wiped out and the war il
the Transvaal takes no new complica
tions, then will be the first to accep
the peace that l believe to be neces
sary, though it be at the cost of ac
knowledging the sovereignty of thu
United States, since | consider tina
our forces are now impotent to defend
our sacred and sanguine rights"
General Macarthur says SandicC
stands close to Aguinaldo. Regio
writing from Hong Kong, described
the anti-imperialist convention a
Philadelphia and the Boston meeting
He spoke of the influence the victorie
of the Filipino army have had upCl
the American people and concluded:
This impression is and will be on
of the determined causes OF our ri
umph, which will come soon if we bu
resist little more, now that but littl
is lacking to change the announce
elections, as with the downfall of Mo
Kinley comes the ascendence of tn
starred banner over our soil.

CORN CONSUMPTION.
what Business Activity Means TO
Farmers who Feed Millions
of Wage workers.

The corn crop of the United States
win bring to the farmers more money
in 1900 than ever before. The depart
ment of agriculture reports the price
of corn during the first week of Sep
TENDER as more than double what it
was in 1896 and much higher than at
any corresponding date since that
time This increased price is due both
to the increased consumption at home
and the efforts made by Secretary Will
son, the present head of the depart
ment of agriculture, for an enlarge
ment of American markets abroad.
With business activity and people in
every line Of industry actively en-
ployed, the home market is by far the
most important one TO the farmer;
while with business depression, fac
tories closed, mines running ON hat
time, railways with light earnings and
reduction Of employees, the consump-
ton and prices in the home market
are correspondence reduced, This is
illustrated by the fact that the home
consumption Of corn fell Off S450.OOO.-
COO in 1894 as compared with 1892, and
that the price Of corn in Chicago in
1896, at the close of the democratic and
low tariff period, was less than one
half what il is to-day.
The table which follows shows the
home consumption and expectation of
corn in 1892, 1894 and 1899. and the
expectation only in 1899, the home con-
sumption figures for that year Of

| Boss Croker lives in England, but he can govern New York from there about | as well, or as thoroughly, as if he were here. So when he 'comes out" for
 Bryan, his coming out is recognized as important He says that Bryan is go- ing to carry Ohio and will surely be the next president He calls him a wonder full man, the most wonderful man in the country, and he further says: w. J. Bryan is right in taking his stand upon silver. MT. Bryan is right in sticking to his guns. My party interests, so far as New York is concerned, would coun- sel me to advise that he should weaken on the silver plank, but l would not say @ word to induce him to do it. It would, indeed, be fatal for him to do it. MT. Bryan's strength is in his character and in the belief of the people in his honesty and sincerity. If he were to weaken on silver he might gain some votes from the bulls of Wall street, but he would lose far more in sacrificing the interests of the struggling farmers who are ground down between combinations of railroads and trusts.
 They say in New York that this lan- guage means that because David B. Hill wants to have the Democratic State convention refrain from instructing for Mr Bryan the Tammany plan is to have such vote of instructions passed. How ever this may be the Tammany plan joice in the support of that powerful and skillful organization.

THE CONOUEROR.

There are great triumphs for Woman in sight in two countries-England and the United States. A bill has just been passed by the British House of Com mons making women eligible for elec- ton as aldermen and councillors in the London boroughs. Being taxpayers they ought, it is held, to have voice in the expenditure of taxes. At present men alone elect officials who vote away women's property as well as mems, and that kind of thing is regarded as un- just The Conservative party, now in power is somewhat radical on the question of the political rights of wo- man, regarding her as naturally con- servative and likely to act with them. Women do not as a rule take kindly to new political theories such as those of Radicals and Socialists.
 In this country the women of the Methodist Episcopal Church seem about to have their reward in a matter which has long been agitated, They secured from the general conference at Chicago constitutional amendment admitting them to membership in both general and local conferences. For this they have been contending score of years or more, and with special claim, con- eidering their influence in all church work and church support. The form of the amendment was 8 change of the word "laymen" in the constitution to Hay members This and other amend ments were adopted in a body by an overwhelming vote, 542 to 94. It is not final action, however, since it must be ratified by a majority of the local con- ferences, each approving by a two thirds vote Ratification, however, is considered probable, and, in that case, there will be women in the Methodist Episcopal general conference of 1901.

Clouds did what the moon didn't and the eclipse was so total that nc part of the sun could be seen. But fortunately those who went south found fair weather along the path of totality, and there were successful observations by the scientific parties. The advance ment of astronomical science and the marvellous Improvements in telescopes, photography, and electrical appliances, insured more complete observations than ever before known. The United States government and all great educa- tional institutions made elaborate and costly prepara tions to get the best pos sible observations and some very inter- esting and important revelations may be expected when the scientists report the results of their work.

FIGHTING IN THE FOG.

Every Boer was off his horse and up among the rocks in twinkling, and in another moment six of those cav airy horses were relieved of their bur dens at range of twelve hundred yards. There was instant confusion in the cavalry, and they wheeled and dis appeared back under the curtain of fog. Then we started back towards the farm house.
 It developed that two hundred and forty three British soldiers and nine officers, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Moller, of the Eighteenth Illus sars. had left the camp, which was be- ing bombarded off to the east, and in attempting to reach Dundee were lost in the fog, and were wandering about when they ran into an Ermelo comman- do of Boers, also lost, and wandering about among the kopjes The British took refuge in a stone cattle-kraal near the Maritz farmhouse and opened fire. The burghers replied, and then unlim- bered a Krupp gun which they had been dragging about all day in an attempt to get it into position overlooking the Eng fish intrenchments from the north.
