his life is extremely interesting. He

through hard work to forget the idle
moments and constantly made hay
while the sun shone. He followed

teen years of age, going to school in

their efforts now will be heard from
later. The boy who is steady and
progressive now is the fellow who is
going to make just that kind of
man and whatever walk of life he pur-
sues you are bound to hear from him.
His works will be recorded where all
will know what he has done. His

FILlPINOS CAPTURE
FIFTY-TWO SOLDIERS

Washington. Sept. 29.-The War De-
partment has received the following
cablegram from General Macarthur.
MANILA, Sept. 2S.-Sept. 11th. Capt.
DevereuX Shields, with fifty-One men
of Company f. Twenty-ninth infantry,
and one hospital corps man, left Santa
Cruz, Martinique, by gunboat Nillalo-
bos, for Torrijos, intending to return
overland to Santa Cruz. Have heard
nothing since from Shields. There is
scarcely Il doubt that the entire party
was captured. with many killed and
wounded, Shields being among the
latter.
'"rhe Information was sent by letter
from the commanding officer of Boaz,
dated Sept. Goth, and received Sept.
oath. 1t consisted of rumors through
natives:
lhe Yorktown and two gunboats,
carrying Col. George Sanderson and
two companies of the Thirty-eighth in
fantry, went to Martinique i'm
mediately Anderson confirms the first
report as to the capture, but was un-
able Sept 9th to give details of the
present whereabouts of Capt. Shields
and party, or the names of killed and
wounded. This information will prob
has orders to commence operations
Immediately and move relentlessly un-
til the Shields party is rescued. Logan
will be sent to Martinique IL neces-
sary to clear up the situation"
The Twenty-ninth infantry was re-
cruited at Fort Mcpherson. Georgia.
Capt. Shields was lieutenant colonel
of the Second Mississippi during the
Spanish war. He was made captain
in the Twenty-ninth infantry July 8,
1899. He was Il resident of NatcheZ.
Miss. where his wife now resides.
The scene of this latest reverse is a
small island lying .ue south of the
southern coast of Luzon. and about 300
miles from Manila. Martinique is
about twentyfour miles in diameter
and was garrisoned by two small de-
tachments of United States troops.
One Of these was at Boag. on the west
coast of the island. and the other was
at Santa Cruz, the principal port. on
the north side. Capt. Shields appears
gunboat for Torrijos. a small coast
post, and il is inferred that the boat.
ns well as the body of troops under
that officer, has been captured. for the
dispatch makes no reference to her re-
turn.
The officers of the gunboat Villalo-
hos. also captured by the Filipinos,
were Lieut.. Edward Simpson. COM

RUMORS OF
STRIKE SETTLEMENT

New York, Sept. 29.-On behalf of
financiers who are negotiating to end
the coal strike in Pennsylvania, it was
announced yesterday that success is
expected early next week. Resumption
of business by colliers that have been
idle will give the first news of the set
tlement.
The coal trade has shown its eXpec-
tation of peace by lowering of whole
sale prices. Retailers have ceased TO
buy and the business has practically
come to a halt.
Senator Hanna visited the Wall
street district yesterday, but said he
came on personal business. John
Markle reached the city and conferred
with officials of the Lchigh Valley rail
road.
President Mitchell of the Mine Work
ers announced that settlement would
be left to the judgment of representa-
tives of men involved in the strike.
The IIaZlebrook and other collicries
were closed, the men being encouraged
to strike by prospect of an indefinite
increase in wages.

CHANCE FOR
PEACE In CHINA

Washington, Oct. 3.-Favorable news
has reached Washington from the
European chancellories, indicating that
a complete agreement as to China is
within sight. The agreement will be
on the basis of the proposition laid
down by Secretary Hay in his note of
July 3rd, and the subsequent notes
treating on that subject. The accord of
Russia with the United States is more
complete than was anticipated at first,
and the reports show that all of the
European nations probably are placing
themselves in position to take advan-
tage of the opening made by the United
States, and soon will be ready to begin
negotiations for a settlement with the
Chinese government. The Russians al
ready have given notice of such pur-
pose, and while the text of the French
note on this subject. referred to in to-
days press dispatches. has not reached
the State Department, the officials are
satisfied that this is correctly reported.
and that France. like Russia, is ready
to negotiate at once.
As TO: Germany. either the position
of that government has been misunder
stood OF ii has sustained Il change of
mind. Possibly the former is the case.
but. however that may be, it is quite
certain from the advices that have
reached Washington to-day that the
German government. upon careful in
spection of the plans for settlement
projected by the United States, finds
therein nothing inconsistent with the
German aspirations. Therefore it may
be expected that Germany. too, will be
prepared soon to join in this common
movement toward a settlement. 1t
may be stated that altogether the pros
poets of an adjustment of the Chinese
difficulty without resort to formal war
are very much brighter than they were
one week ago.

Chinese May Come From Honolulu.

Honolulu. Sept. "a. via San Fran.
cisco. Oct. 2.-rnited States Judge Es-
tee has rendered an important decision
regarding the rights of Chinese to land
in Hawaii. IL was in the case of All
Sing. who came here from New York
as one of the crew of the ship Chal-
lenger and was refused permission Ia
land in Honolulu. He was brought be-
fore Judge Estee on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. The judge decided that. hav-
ing shipped from New York. the Chi
nese had Il right to land In any other
American port. and Honolulu is now
an American port. The decision is re-
garded as highly important as bearing
upon the question of whether the many
Chinese In the Hawaiian islands have
right to land on the mainland. a
clause in the Hawaiian territorial act
declares that the Chinese in Hawaii
shall not be admitted TO the coast of
the United States. This clause is be-
lieved by some to be unconstitutional.
and the decision by Judge Estee Is In
line with that opinion. There are
about 10000 Chinese in Hawaii.

As Dr. Brown was familiar with the

garding the best means of entry, and
it was on his suggestion that the sewer
under the city's wall was chosen by
the Americans and British. The result
of this was their arrival several hours
before the Russians and Japanese.
In relating his experiences DIR. Brown
