BOERs AT LINcoLN's CRAVE.
Representative OF TransEaaI Government
Deeorates Tomb Of the Dead
President

Springfield, Ill, June 1O.-Abraham
Fischer, one Of the BOer ENJOYS, accom-
panied By his wife and J. NJ. BeBruyn,
secretary to the ENJOYS, arrived IN this
city at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and viii
remain here until tomorrow morning.
They we're accompanied to this city BY
Gen. Alfred OrandOrf and a committee
Of citizens from here who went to Lin
coin to meet the party. Upon their
arrival here, they were driven direct to
the state fair grounds where Mr.. Fisher
addressed an audience Of 5000 people
who were in attendance at a picnic
being given by the Robert Emmett
Monument association When this
address was concluded the BOer party
and a number Of the local committee
went to Lincoln monument, where Mr..
Fischer placed an elaborate wreath
upon the tomb Of Abraham Lincoln.
The envoy was introduced to a large
audience that had gathered there by
Gen Orendorff, after which the wreath
was tenderly laid upon the tomb. In
depOsiting this mOmentO Mr.. Fischer
made a short but very beautiful talk,
his prevailing idea being that 1t was
considered a blessing to be permitted
to come to one Of the worlds shrines Of
liberty. He expressed the hope that
his people might so conduct their strife
for liberty that it would be sanctioned
by the great Lincoln If he were alive.
He said that Lincoln no longer belongs
to America alone, but TO all humanity
as the greatest exponent Of true liberty
that ever lived.

HERE'S A NEW STORY.
AguInaldo's Secretary Of State says Bryan
and HOaF Wrote Letters OF Sympathy
to Filipino Rebels.

Manila, June 12-(cOrresPOndence).
The great store Of insurgent dOcu-
ments discovered by Gen Funston
throw interesting light upon the Fiji
Pine government. But BuencaminO,
the secretary Of state Of the Filipino
revolutionary government, who is in
Manila, says none Of the really imPOr-
tant secret papers were found He
says that among the missing papers
was correspondence with foreign gov
ernments and letters from anti-im-
Perialists, including ". ]. Bryan and
Senator HOar. All Of these, he says,
were sent TO Hong Kong last SePtem-
Der for safe keeping in the hands Of
the junta- The PurPOrt of the letters
from anti-imperialists, according to
his recollection, was that the Fill
PinOs should adhere 10 their demand
for independence and they would
eventually be sustained by the Ameri-
can voters.

Gen. Macarthur Reports That Two Insur-

Captures Rebel Stronghold

Washington, June 13.-Gen- Mac
Arthur yesterday at Manila cabled the
war department as follows: Re

Mexico, and Cavestany, at AIcala,
both important. Latter very imPOr-
tant leader Of guerriIlas in Panga-

Gen. COrbin attaches considerable
Importance to these captures In his
opinion they are more nearly in the
nature Of surrenders than captures,
and indicate that the principal lead
ers Of the Instruction are abandon

to accept American supremacy.
Gen Grant. who led achievements
with artillery against the insurgents
IN the mountains east Of Samiguet,
reports the capture OF the rebel
stronghold after four hours fighting.

REV. BRoAD's ADDRESS.
Tells Convention at Detroit That Kansas
COngregationalfsts Are Self
Supporting.

Detroit, Mich, June 6.-Rev. L. P.
Broad, Of Topeka, addressed the Con
TegatiOnal Home Missionary society
at its 74th annual meeting here to-day.
He said that Kansas makes her bow
TO the Congregational Home Mission
airy society and thankfully announces
that she has been self supporting since
April l.
Any church or state can come to self
support at any minute by refusing to
take aid. But that is not the whole Of
it. Speaking negatively Kansas has
not come to self support without know
ing where the money to maintain her
work is coming from, with reasonable
expectation.
Prominently the reason why Kansas
has come to self support Is because so
many Of our churches have come to self
support. Our missionary field has been
slipping away from Us. Two-thirds Of
our nearly $50 churches to-day are self
supporting; and only One-fourth Of our
churches are on the missionary list,
most Of them requiring small grants.
The enterprise that our churches have
shown In assuming self support has
prevented US from drawing the full
amount Of our state appOrtiOnment for
the last five years. We could find no
established churches to spend the bal
ance Of it on, and new work was for
hidden. To our progressive churches
and noble pastors do we mainly owe
self suDDOrt

From the hills on all sides. from every
