THE TULIsANE PIRATES.
Efforts to BE Made to Drive Them
From Philippine Waters.


From Philippine Waters.
1t Is PROBABLE that concerted action will
be taken to drive from Philippine waters
the hordes of petty pirates which infest II,
which in the past have given much trou-
Bile to Spain and which are causing numer-
GUS complaints at the present time A
short time ago a band Of thirty Tulisanes
attacked launch belonging to Captain
Luis Yanco. at Napidan, overpowered the
crew. and took 5000 fresil the passengers
and all of the freight on board.
These Tulisanes appear to be part of
band of thieves which prowl through the
mountainous districts and the swamps of
the provinces, retiring to their Businesses
after successful raid. Recently they have
become more bold. selling bancas and
launches In passing.
The mosquito fleet has been instructed to
exert especial energy toward the. capture
Of these bandits, and suspicious looking
bancas will be searched wherever found.

Why France Hates England.

In the eyes Of an educated Frenchmln his Eng
fish neighbors, who under the Pldntagenets strove
for hundred years to conquer his country and ei-
face his nationality, have since relaxed their
full determination to thwart the hopes OF France,
and it is the grim lesson of history that they
have always hitherto succeeded. Under the cir
cumstances, Frenehmen would be scarcely human

To "Rcnmrm.-Since the return to
New York from washington of young Mr..
Bird S. Coler great deal Of space is being
made by eHerprising newspaper writer's in
the metropolis on the subject of what Mr..
Co,er accomplished here. The most of it
is devoted to a circumstantial account of
how the latest New York sensation in the
line of craftsmanship induced Senator
Jones, Chairman of the Democratic Nation
al Committee. and other party leaders here
to agree to "reafiirm" instead of "readopt''
the Chicago platform at the Kansas City
Convention. 1t is carefully explained with
the emphasis of black type that the differ

that new issues have taken the place of

Yates Beat Bryan.-The Hon. Charles
F.. Joy of Missouri is responsible for the
statement that not many years ago the
Hon. Richard Yates, Republican candidate
for Governor in Illinois, bested the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan in an oratorical
contest. The Missouri Congressman knows
intimately and esteems very highly both
men. He knew them when they were
bright and ambitious college men at Jack
sonville, Ill. The contest he refers to was
for the oratorical prize offered annually
by the Illinois College at Jacksonville.
Bryan and Yates were classmates and
were rivals for all the class honors from
their entrance in the college Some of
the best judges of oratory in the country,
one Of whom l was which," facetiously de-
clared MIR. Joy. were the arbiters of the
contest. l confess that in my judgment 1t
was toss-up between Bryan and Yates.
/ remember distinctly that the vote of the
judges was extremely close and confess
that l can't remember which one got my
vote. Such oratory had never heard be-
fore, have never heard since. and never
expect to hear again. Bryan took his de-
feat philosophically, and Yates escape
from defeat was too narrow to make him
feel pulled up. / should like to hear them

As to the Labor Vote.-A high Off
cial Of the Government, whose duties
bring him In close contact with the big
railroad managers of the country, has re-
Gently returned from an extended tour
with some interesting political information.
He reports that the railroad managers de-
spair of controlling the votes of their en-
ployes this year. as they did in 1896. The
official referred to quotes two OF the big
gest railroad managers In the nation in
support of his assertion-Presldent Marvin
Hewitt, OF the Chicago and Northwestern,
and President Galloway, the Hon. Chauncey
NJ. Depew's successor in the service Of the
New York Central. Il am convinced.
President Galloway is reported to have sad.
that the vast majority OF the thirty-f1ve
thousand employees CT the New York Cen
trail are only waiting to see which Presi-
dental candidate the owners and mana
gers OF this property want elected. and then
our employees will vote the other way.
There is no feeling of bitter resentment
toward me or any other officer of the COM
pany among our men. They simply seem
to be thoroughly satisfied that they were
coerced in 1896. and they are apparently
determined to show us this year that they
are capable Of doing their own voting with
out any advice or suggestion from US. In
all Of my experience In railroad manage
ment have never seen employees SO set
against the political wishes of their en-
ploysrs. We have no disposition to inter-
fere with them In their political aff'ia-
lions, and would dare not do so even if we
were so inclined. / take It that this means
a more united support of Bryan among the
organized laborers Of the country this year
than he received four years ago." Presi-
a
quoted as talking very much as President
Galloway talked, though the Government
official referred to saw one Of these big
railroad men fully week after he saw the
other, and he did not tell the last how the
first had discussed the subject II the rail-
road managers are representative Of the
large employers of labor throughout the
country, it is evident that something will

own dairy or in a factory owned
by the Casein Trust. Casein is an
albuminous substance best known
to the average citizen in the form
OF che Sc. II contains as much
nitrogen as meat, more than eggs,
and much more than fish. Its TODD
value is therefore very high. Thus
far this feature has not been util-
lied in the United States, all OF
our own casein being used tor
other industries, but vast quanti-
ties 90 to France and Germany,
where they are transformed into
artificial foods. The manufacture
is now up in the millions OF
pounds, ,andisincreasing annually.
Some is converted into buttons.
This is done by mixing the caseln
with fine clay and other inorganic
materials made into paste, rolled,
stamped and baked. 1t makes
light, glossy and handsome button,
and is much stronger than the ons
made OF chinaware alone. In the
matter OF small buttons and studs,
it can be made iridescent or COL
ored to suit the public fancy.
Thus far in our own land, casein
has been put to low utilitarian
purposes. By chemical treatment
it Is changed into very strong
glue, which is used in making ven
eers. Several great cooperages in
the West now make barrelheads
OF these veneers, and save one or
two pounds OF weight, and at the
same time get STRONGER and hand
somer barrelhead. These veneers
are also employed for chair seats,
car seats, sounding boards, and
piano cases. A second use is as
constituent OF paper pulp. Casein
is snow white, and, when mixed
with wood pulp, straw pulp, and
similar bodies. gives a whittier and
clearer product, and also one that
is less brittle and more durable.
This mixed pulp is made into
paper for newspapers, writing
paper, wall paper and paper boxes.
The white boxes which the more
enterprising shoe dealers and de-
partment stores now affect are re-
suits Of this industry.
Casein mingled with lime makes
a liquid covering intermediate be-
tween whitewash and paint, which
possesses a handsome gloss, and
is very much cheaper than the
latter. The lime reacts upon it
and makes It both waterproof and,
to a certain extent, ireproof. AS
a finish for fine leather goods, 1t
is now employed in at least fifty
of the leading works of the coun
try. II is particularly adapted for
fine kids, goatskins, clogskin, calf
and sheepskin. 1t is also used as
a finish for the outside Of lead pen
ellis, penholders and other wooden
wares.

ROYALTIES AND THE WEED
The following interes sting anec.
dotes concerning royalty, taken
from the London WeStMtRStsr
GaSftts, show that they, too. in
some respects are like ordinary
people:
There are some interesting par
ticulars in this weeks gem con-
cerning royalties and smoking.
The Queen OF Italy, we are told,
once said to the Prince of Wales:
4 can overlook many faults in a
man, and make many allowances
for his shortcomings. One fault,
however, / cannot overlook, and
that is-his not smoking. When
my husband the King is annoyed
l give him his pipe; when he is
good tempered ! give him a cigar
cite; when ! want him to do some
thing very particular for me | give
him a cigar. With a pipe l can
console him; with cigarette / can
delight him; but with a cigar can
lead him anyhow and anywhere
The German Emperor con-
fessed recently that OF all his habits
smoking had the greatest hold over
him. When l am not asleep l
am smoking-and when | am
asleep l often dream OF the subtle
poison The Sultan OF Turkey
sent me a few months ago a pres
ent OF a hundred boxes OF his
choice cigarettes. These are the
boxes (His Majesty pointed
toward row OF delicately got up
tins.) But the cigarettes are not
in them; they have ended, like Mr..
Kruger's promises, in smoke"
THE Duke OF Edinburgh, on
being asked by a fair lady whether
he approved OF smoking, wittily
answered: Madam, two things l
shall never part with-my honor
and my toba eco pouchP The
Prince has always enjoVed his
smoke. Many years ago., said
the Prince recently to the Emperor
Of Austria, i commenced smoking.
l have smoked ever since; and l
expect shall keep on smoking"

A NEW USE FOR TELEPHONES
Indianapolis telephone subscribers
have made arrangements with the
central office TO have their tele.
phone bell act as an alarm clock.
Orders have been left there for the
purpose, and the manager has a
regular schedule OF calls from 4. go
to 7 a, m. Persons who wish to
take early trains out of town leave
orders with the manager, and there
is no danger OF missing their train.
1t has also frequently happened
that a subscriber has left word to
be called at one-hour or tWo.hour
intervals during the night where
he has had to take medicine, and
much inconvenience and worry
has been saved thereby,
