AN UPRISING IN MANILA.
Documentary Evidence of a Plot There
for Discovered by American Omcer.

Washington, July 1.-The secretary
of war has been furnished with copies
of some interesting documents della
ting to an alleged plot against the au-
thorities in Manila, which were dis
covered in the district Of a Miguel.
The secret service department, under
Lieutenant Charles r. Trowbridge,
Eleventh cavalry, early in June STUN
bled upon an insurgent recruiting office
situated in an isolated locality, where
the work might be carried on without
attracting notice. One room of the
house was fitted UP as an office, and a
large quantity of blank forms, bear
ing the headline "Republica Filipinas'
were found. In a cupboard which had
been securely fastened Trowbridge
and his men discovered a large guam
tity of papers, all OF recent date, the
latest being June 7th. They consisted
of orders from Aguinaldo and letters
of encouragement and instruction from
that leader and other insurgent chiefs.
A document which excited a great deal
of interest was one which contained
the details of a plot arranged evident
ly early in June to excite an uprising
in Manila. The plan contemplated an
attack upon the force in the city and
the seizure Of arms n ammunition.

gives a basis for comparison in future
years, and shows where the knitting
industry is located. AS might be ex-
pected, PENNSYLVANIA has a large lead,
having %, IT'S knitting machines. New
York is second, with 1929 machines.
In the net value of product, New York
no doubt equals, and perhaps, sur
passes Pennsylvania, because the
character of goods made is largely
higher priced underwear, instead of
hosiery. Massachusetts, is third, with
6,313 machines, New Hampshire fourth,
with 4,146. The western states show

No commemorative Stamps.

Washington, July 21.-The postoffice
department has denied the application
of the authorities of the Charleston,
S. c., Interstate and West Indian ex-
position for the government issue of
a special series of postage stamps COM
memorative of the exposition. The
application is denied on the grounds
that there is insufficient time within

because it is contrary to policy to issue

yarn for the increased number of looms
has come from worsted and cotton
spindles and not from strictly wooden
machinery. The knitting industry has

In the silk industry there is not a

we take the loom. In this summary

spinning and twisting, and the looms

These figures show that in the past
ten years the cotton industry has in

in the woolen industry, which in the

Corn started weak, for although the

LIVE STOCK MARKET
Receipts of Hogs Much Larger
Than Expected.
PRICES TAKE A TUMBLE
Car Load Lots Were 5 to Is
Cents Higher

The hog market took another tumble
yesterday. Sales were made to 1oc
lower and in some cases sellers quoted
lZk to Is cents lower than the close the
previous day. The decline was caused
partly on account Of lower markets east
and partly by the prevailing opinion that
the market here on Wednesday was too
high as compared with Missouri river
markets. The top price was $50,
against S5.E1a Wednesday. but about
such hogs as brought s.. III on the pre-
vious Gay sold for S.65 yesterday. The
decline on heavy weights was greater
than on light and medium weights. 1t
was probably as well for sellers that the
buyers did not know how many hogs
were coming. This is perhaps the only
nog market on earth that notice of con-
gnments of stock are not given by the
railroads in advance of tn If arrival
Chicago and Kansas City knows one day
about the number of car loads of stock
Is coming. Here four toots Of the switch
engine gives notice that a car load or
car loads of stock are on the switch to
be unloaded, and frequently that IS the
first notice the stock yards people have.
Notwithstanding there were more hogs
than expected, they were all sold but one
load of pigs and rough hogs. Billy Wal
lace, buyer for Dold, took the early ar
rivals, but when his order was filled the
commission men became uneasy. Then
it was that Deck Parsons. buyer for
Cudahy's Nashville house, climbed down
Of his perch on the fence and began
TO gather them in. He swept the sale
pens ike a stable boy with an old
