AguinaIdo's Former Secretary Comes
to Appeal For His People.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Sixto Lopez,
formerly private secretary to Aguinaldo
and now a well known defender of the
cause of the Filipinos, landed yesterday
from the Cunard line steamship Cam
pania and was greeted by Fiske Warren,
an anti-imperialist of Boston. With Mr..
Warren was Mr.. George, who declined
to throw light on his own identity.
Before leaving for Boston Mr. Lopez
gave out the following statement:
"My object in coming to America is
not to interfere in American politics, but
solely to tell the American people what
the Filipinos desire in reference to the
future government of our country.
"It has been said that my coming to
America is in the interest of certain per-
sons and politics. We, as Filipinos, know
no party in the United States. We have
only one desire-namely, to secure jus
tice for our country.
"Those who desire to give US justice
will no doubt be glad to know the wants
and conditions of the Filipinos. All that
we want is peace with independence and
with honor to both parties, and we hope
to be able to show that the conditions in
our country are such as to fit us for the
maintenance of that independence"

"Only a short time ago very severe
case of poisoning resulted from the
use of such ware. I am told that these
goods are chiefly exported to the United
States from Frankfort, Berlin and
Stuttgart. 1t might be well for the
public to be informed of the danger
in these goods, and steps might be
taken to prohibit their sale"

Rector Dies In the Pulpit.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Rev. DR..
Gilbert H. Gregory passed away yester-
day in the presence of his congregation
at the morning service in st. Stephen
Methodist Episcopal church, Marble Hill,
at the upper end of Manhattan Island.
Physicians had urged DR.. Gregory to re-
tire from active church work, as he had
long been a sufferer from heart trouble.
TREY told him that he might live for
years if he would cease labor, but that if
he continued to work he was liable to be
stricken any moment. DR.. Gregory was
SO years old. He was a man of great en-
ergy, forceful speaker and possessed an
attractive personality. He had been a
Methodist minister for 81 years and had
host of friends in this city and in Hud-
son river towns where he had charge.

MANILA, Oct. 1.-The Filipinos in
the vicinity of Manila have been more
quiet of late, although last Wednesday
night there were brisk attacks at Las
Pinas and Paranaque, south of Manila
as well as outpost firing at Imgs, BacooI
and Munting Lupa. The American Off
GERS are satisfied that the alleged amigos
living in and around the towns in ques-
ton participated in these attacks.
Official reports have been received of
insurgent activity in ZaDbales province
and in Batangas province. Two Skin
mishes occurred during the week on the
Bicol river, in the province of South
Camarines. 1t is estimated that the in
surgents lost 80 killed in the various dis
tricts.
Two civilians, Messrs. John McMahon
and Ralph McCord of San Francisco,
who started on a business trip for Nigan
and Bangued, in northern Luzon, have
not been heard from for three weeks. 1t
is feared that they have been killed OF
captured by the insurgents.

BIG RAILWAY VENTURE.
Senator Clark and Others to Build n
Rival to the Southern Pacific.

CHICAGO, Oct 1.--Senator w. A.
Clark of Montana has consummated
plans for the building of the Los An
geles and Salt Lake City railroad after
consultation with Salt Lake City and
Los Angeles capitalists who are in Chi.
ago.
Another chief promoter is r. G. Ker-
ems of st. Louis, Republican national
committeeman from Missouri, who is also
here. Mr.. Kerens stated that the new
railroad absorbs the franchise and prop
erty of the Los Angeles Terminal COM
pany, thus providing for its entrance into
the southern California metropolis. The
Mormon church has practically promised
a terminal site in the Utah capital, and
a tract of ten acres will be turned over
to the railway for it's stations and freight
departments.
Between the termini the whole un-
opened southwest will be spanned. The
Sierra Nevada will be pierced through
one of its southern passes, and the SUI
premacy of the Southern Pacific railway,
hitherto unchallenged on the Pacific
coast, will be effectually broken, at least
in southern California: The death of
Coils P. Huntington removed the last
obstacle to the success OF the Clark
Kerens syndicate. The construction will
require $25, 100000 in expenditures.

Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, was
just exactly opposite to Gov. Allen,
with as tender a heart as a woman,

"Gov'ner Bob looked at the COM

pardon clerk, and when he came, said:
Make out pardons for every man

The clerk bowed and withdrew.
Then the governor looked at the COM

thought he was going mad.
