GLIMPsEs OF MANILA.
mr. Il. Burton Holmes Begins sis series
Of Illustrated Lectures.

Mr.. K. Burton Holmes was greeted BY
a large audience In City hail Lass evening
on the occasion Of the hrst In bis srries OF
illustrated travel lectures Though he came
as o stranger, his fame had preceded him
and the memters Of the Rldgsly assoeia-
tion, under whose auspices the course Is
given, found no difficulty In disposing of
enough tickets to insure expenses and q
comfortable margin for the association.
First ir pressions are said to be lasting,
and the PRESS can assure Mr.. nolmes
at the outset that Portland's impression
of hin, Is highly complimentary. He Is
good looking, hiss a presence that inspires
confidence, q voice that 10 pleasure 10
lIstsn to, and modest way Of weaving
in personal "reminiscences that greatly
adds to the interest In his pictures.
"Manila" was the subj sct OF this open
ing lecture. His visit to that city was
made last summer. Though hostiiities
were practically suspended, In anticipa-
tioa of the rainy season he got quite an
insight into tho army life there. and used
his camera to the best advantage. On
the way cut hs encountered pewey's flag
ship, the Olympia. ut Hong Kong, and
got some excellent pictures Of the Ad-
miral, his officers and the ship.
While detained In quarantine In Manila
bay, MIR. Holmes witnessed q lombard
ment Of the Filipino entrt nchunents,
eight miles away-too far to uss the
camera with test results, but his word
picture CT the scene was intensely inter-
esting. A trip up the Pnsig river was
described. followed by picture OF the
best hotel in the Philippines. whose ex-
terror is much more attractive than Its
menu. Then came q varied assortment
Of lantern slides showing churches, Fill
Pine huts. public squares, restaurant In
teriors, gl,mpses of army life in the field,
trenches and barracks and ruins Of VII
lagos that the Insurgents had destroyed.
The motion pictures were . feature that
proved specially enjoyable. They were
made by MIR. Holmes under most favor
able circumstances. One Of these that
called forth loudest applause was
picture showing the ninth infantry In
heavy marching orders crossing bridge
In the outskirts Of Manila. Others of
special interest included run of the fire
department, o caravan Of carabao oats,
the passing OF military train and u
sham battle.
The story OF his personal participation
in defense Of night attack was Intense
ly interesting. He was being entertained
In barracks at San Fernando. A peiting
rain was in progress and he had retirsd
early. In the dead of the night the
soldiers were called out to repel sup
posed Filipino attack. Some OF the oom-
panies rushed for the trenches, while
oilers remained on duty in therain, near
the barracks, awaiting orders, 1t turned
e3t to be only a repetition Of Aguinsldo's
familisr trick of creating a false alarm
By firing few chance shots toward the
army headquarters. rhe soldiers went
back TO quarters in disgust, thoroughly
drsnched and deprived Of several hours
sleep.

Chicago, May THE Illinois Steel
Gompany's billet and converter mills at
Joliet shut down Indefinitely Saturday
as a direct result of the lack of demand
following the suspension of the Ameri-

The total number of Illinois Steel em-

The closing of the converter and billet

that indefinite idleness will continue at
