list Democratic chieftain, Bryan, is
ominons for that individual. 1t is on
Populist support. of course, that Bry-
an bases all his hopes of having a
vote in the Western states which will
be large enough to justify the polling
officers to trke any accoun of it. The
Democrats pure and simple are almost
as feeble in most of the states of the
West as are the Prohibitiopists. If

Gen. Skaters assertion that the in
s~urrection in the Philippines is prac-
tically ended agrees with the opinions
of all the military chieftains in the
islands whose views have reached the
public. This idea seems reasonable.
There has been no fighting for the
pa ST five or six weeks except Of the
guerrilla order. Aguinaldo has dis
appeared so completely that there are
rumors that he has escaped from the
islands and is somewhere on the main
land of Asia. All the leading fight
ing meu on the rebel side have either
been killed in battle with the Ameri-
cans or have been assassinated by or
der of Aguinaldo. Virtually, all the
heads of the so-called civil govern
ment of the Filipinos are in American
hands as prisoners, some of then
gave themselves up voluntarily. Mos
of the Philippine ports, closed since
the Spanish war days, have beer
thrown open to the commerce of thu
world in the past three or four weeks
Technically, the rebellion in the is
lands is still ''on," but nobody look;

IN CHINA.

In China the atchmaker. or '.go-between,''
Is a very important factor in domestic life.
AT the present moment he may be employed
In less peaceful pursuits, but in times OF
peace he cannot be dispensed with. He It
is who casts his watchful eye around that
he may find suitable husbands Tor the
daughters of his acquaintance. and then
approaches the parents with due circum-
spection as we'll as a good deal of tact and
diplomacy.
o the family of the young man he mar
rates the good qualities, beauty and amia-
bility of a certain young girl: then he
makes a visit to her father and dwells
upon the riches, learning and wisdom of a
youth he knows.
II he finds both sides willing to consider
the question. he plies back and forth be-
tween them with all the eagerness of a
man anxious to drie a good bargain. He
knows that If he succeeds he will get q
nice little fee from each family. and SO he
paints the many charms Of the young
couple In glowing terms.
He Is not always truthful. and Outlines
the bridegroom, who Is not allowed to sec
his future wife before the ceremony, finds
that after the red cloth and veil are re-
moved he Is married to an ugly old crone.
These instances Of bad faith on the
part of the ''go-between" are very rare,
and usually he exhibits much discretion in
his matings.

He has just returned to his pulpit. He
mingled with the laboring folk, working
as a deck hand on a canal boat and resort
ing to conventional travel only when he
had to. His aim was to study the people.
One of his most interesting experiences
was on the canals of New York state. At
Troy he shipped on an old-fashioned mule
power canal boat and went 1852 miles. He
lived In the crews quarters, took a hand
IN all the work and learned locking and
steering. He says of his associates:

He says: THE effects of the hurricane

food, I'M there is still great suffering and

PLAN GENERAL TlE-UP.
FRANCISCO PLANNING MILL
MEN GO OUT.
Many Stop All Building and Throw
Fifteen Thousand Men Out of
Employment.

San Francisco, August 13.-The millmen's
union, backed by the building trades coun-
ell, today began in earnest it's fight for an
day. A strike has been ordered
and the strength of the movement Will
soon be known. The lumber and planning
mill owners rave not yet decided whether
the mills shall try to continue operations
with non-union men, or shall close down
until an adjustment is effected.
In San Francisco four mills and in all OF
the Oakland mills the union men were paid
off Saturday night, and after their refusal
to return this morning under the old sched-
ule. and were ordered to remove their tools
from the mills.
'Unless some understanding is reached
before the end of the week" said Andrew
Wilkie, proprietor of the Mechanics mills,
81 believe building will practically cease
in San Francisco and the bay cities, and
the 5000 men in the building trades will
be thrown out of employment. No advance
in wages is asked, but the same pay Is
wanted for eight hours as is now given for
nine hours work. The millmen say they
cannot grant the demands and meet east
ern competitors"

QUEEN OF SLAMS CARRIAGES.

The queen of Siam has had three very
smart carriages built for her in England

the good lady should elect to show them
there. The workmanship Is solid, and there

better ordering carriages than guns and
ammunition of European makers.
The Siamese queen has also a bicycle,
but what she really oughttopossess, If she
desires to be in the procession, is an auto
mobile. Doubtless this will come next, for
the roads In angkok are said to be q great
deal better than those in America or in
England. For the present the three new
carriages will serve to keep her little dark
eyed majesty busy showing her amibe
k~houlalonkorn's subjects how sweet she
looks enthroned on the back seats. The
crown prince of Siam. now being educated
In England, will probably send his parents

board reports that these deaths are AL
most wholly due to starvation.
The condition favoring us in Porto
RICO is this. That island sells sugar
and coffee and tobacco, and buys nearly
all its food. The great storm and pro-
gressive financial difficulties have ruined
the planters. SO that they are unable to
employ the laborers. These persons.
VINO receive never more than thirty cents
gold per day, having no work, do not turn
to raising food for themselves, but dig
wild roots and slowly starve to death.
Gardens are practically unknown in
the islands. The people live upon rice
n Goldfish. beans and wild fruits and
roots. The whole mass of the popula-
ton is in a chronic state of starvation,
From lack of food the iaborers are un-
able to work more than three days each
week, they are willing to work but have
not the strength to do SO. Yet certain
iy 5one-tenth of the island is in cultiya-
ton. Here are a million people who have
a rich soil uncultivated. a good climate
slowly starving to death. Why? The
only explanation is that they have so
long lived under bad avs and ~unfavor-
able economic conditions tina now, in
their extreme poverty and ignorance they
do not know enough to draw their food
