JOHN M'AUIIFFE, A WELL-KNOWN
PAINTER OF HORSES, KILLED.
Accident Similar to the One That
Ended the Life of III. j. Hayden i'm
New York Last Week.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-John McAuliffe,
well-known artist. aged seventy years, was
accidentally killed to-day by falling from
a window of his residence.
Mr.. McAuliffe was especially well known
in connection with his pictures of horses.
He was originally house painter. but as
he had a natural gift for drawing and
painting horses he soon took to that as
business. He was quick to see the pos
sibilities of the American trotter, and took
up work in that line almost exclusively,
although there are extant a number of
paintings by him OF thoroughbreds and road
horses. He painted extensively on orders
for the late Robert Bonner, Commodore
Dickinson, Colonel Kipp. Shepard Knapp.
Gabe Case and Messrs. Wakeuian, Ham
mond and others. He was known to near
fy every horseman Of prominence. He had
been working on orders within the last
week and leaves several incompleted pic
lures OF valuable horses. Mr.. McAuliffe
was born in Ireland. coming TO New York
in 1s47. His widow, three sons and one
daughter survive him.

Fired on by Filipinos, Who Killed
Two Soldiers ana Wounded Two
More-Supplics Captured.

MANILA, Dec. 9.-while the capture of
supplies and the occupation of new points
are quite numerous, those involving ac-
tual fighting comparatively few. APP
parently the insurgents are falling back at
all contested points, sacrificing their pos
sessions in most cases, and satisfied to
save themselves.
A detachment of the Forty-seventh
United States Volunteer Infantry, from
the island of Catanduanes, off the south
east coast of Luzon, relinquished an at
tempt to land near Pandan. On anchoring
the Americans were fired upon by sixty
riflemen, and after short engagement
they cut the anchor chain and sailed for
Catanduanes, with two killed and two
wounded The names have not yet been
received here.
Capt. Richard T. Ellis of the Thirty third
Volunteer Infantry captured in the noun
gains near Barbara large quantities OF
Krag, Mauser and Remington ammuni-
tion. together with a signal outfit, a print
ing press and other equipment All of this
was destroyed. Thirty rifles and several
hundred cartridges were secured at Vic
toria
A detachment of the Fourth Infantry
captured Major Carton and three officers of
lower rank in the town of Pasay. Another
detachment destroyed General Uguad's
camp. The enemy had fed, but the Ameri-
cans subsequently rounded up twenty-five
insurgents.
General Macarthur has approved the
death sentences passed upon several ad-
ditional persons convicted of murder. ar

he has commuted death sentences to i'm

WASHINGTON, Dee. 9-There was a
meeting at Representative Overstreets
apartment at the Ebbitt tonight. Of the
Indiana Republican congressman. at which
Senator Fairbanks, Controller Traceweli
and Solicitor Penfeld were also present TO
talk over matters of special interest to
Indiana. Among other topics discussed
was the basis of congressional representa-
ton. The proposed high figure of Chair
man Hopkins. (2OS.00O would cause Indiana
to lose a member. No definite action was
taken because the census committee has
not yet reported it's bill.
Chairman Hopkins now says that If the
present membership is TO be increased
as it will be on any basis less than 2OS,Oo0.
he thinks it will be made so low as to
avoid a loss of representation to any State
between $4,000 and $4,000, about 10000
greater than the present basis The IN
diana delegation will certainly favor the
lower basis. The feeling is growing that
the membership of the House will be
increased sufficiently to prevent any State
from suffering a loss. 1t is argued that
to increase the membership would make
the House an unwieldy body but that is not
the real reason OF opposition to an in
creased membership The real reason is
that increased membership would make it
necessary TO remove the desks from the
hall and the members do not want that
done

KANSAS CITY, Dec. e.-The Times to-

Telegraphers be joined by those of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers. the

much Of their matter by mail.
This morning II seemed as though the
operators had decided to go to work again.
Some few operators had returned to work
under the Misrepresentation that the strike
had been declared off, but soon left again.
G. T. Mcclellan, superintendent of the east

day afternoon as soon as the news of the
strike became known. He reported that
matters were very satisfactory so far as
the eastern division is concerned. Mr.. Nc
Clellan visited all the operators along the
route and asked them point blank If they
intended to strike In case would
answer In the affirmative he would be
quickly informed that his services were

TOPEKA. Kan. Dec. s.-The officials of
the Santa Fe road take a decidedly hope
full view of the telegraphers' strike situa-
tion. They all say the backbone OF the
strike Is practically broken already, and
that the affairs of the road will be in their
normal condition inside of two weeks. The
officers felt justified tonight. in view of the
alleged Improvement I'm conditions, in re-
scinding the order closing the shops.
ii. u. Nudge. general manager OF the
road. sent out a general order TO all oper-
ators who had not yet gone out. offering
TO promote them IL they aided in resisting
the strikers. He told them that they had
been faithful TO the interests OF the COM
pany thus far. and that they could fill out
their application blanks for better posi-
tions at once. The general manager added
that all the men not taking part In the
strike should have better positions if they
were capable OF filing them. and that their
old places would be filled from outside
sources. Mr.. Nudge expressed great salts
faction this evening at the order he had
sent out. and said IL was only fair that
the company should recognize those OF the
rnen who had been faithful to its interests.
.I feel much more sanguine about the
result of the strike than / did last night"
said Mr.. Nudge. IT thought then that we
would have serious time. In this belief
the order was issued for the closing of the
