His End eca the Heroic Defense
of PIevna in 1910.
In Three Pitched Battles He Defeat
ed the Best Troops of the Gar, In
aicting a Loss of 10000 Men.

NEW YORK, March 21.-A dispatch
from Constantinople announces the
death of Osman Pasha, the hero of
Plevna and the greatest Turkish SOL
der of recent times. He was SIS years
old. His defense of Plevna against an
overwhelming Russian force in 1876
gave Osman enormous prestige. BY
the intrenchments he caused to be
thrown up he arrested for four months
the advance of the Russians. In three
pitched battles he overcame the finest
troops of the Cars armies. On July
/, 1876, he inflicted a loss of 5000 kill
ed and wounded on his assailants- The
next battle cost the Russians ITO off
GERS and 1876 men, and the three days
stubborn assault of Askobelkon later
on when the Russian grenadiers got
within five hundred yards of the
trenches but failed to pass the fatal
fire zone, ended in a Russian loss Of
from $4,000 to 10000 men.
1t was resolved to starve out the
army of Osman, which originally NUM-

OUR OWN LITTLE WAR.
An Official Statement of the Killed
and Wounded i'm the Philippines.
The Actual Mortality Given at 1925
More From Disease Than From
WOunds-The Total Numbe of
Wounded Placed at Only 1,767.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 21.-
War Department officials deny recent
ly published statements that Gen. Otis
campaign is costing upward Of 1000
official records, since the American
occupation of the Philippines, June 1st,
1898, up to February II, 1900, the date
of the last official compilation, the act
ual mortality In the army in the Phil
ippines was IS officers and 1,460 men,
a total of 1,525, or at the rate of "a
deaths a month.
More details are contained in the
report of Col. Woodruff, chief surgeon
of the Philippines army. His report,
however, does not extend beyond the
end of the last calendar year. 1t
shows that from the time American
troops landed in Manila up to Deem
Der list, 1899, the total number of
deaths were IS officers and 1888 men.
OF this number AZ officers and $40 men
have died by violence and 16 officers
and 500 men died of disease. Most of
the deaths by violence occurred in bat
tie. There were, however, 1877 deaths
from violence outside Of actual hos
~tilities. 1t is a singular fact that more
than one-half of the latter class of
deaths were caused by drowning. The
total number of wounded without fatal
results during the period covered by
the report was 1,767.

PARIS, March 21.-In the palace of

to murder the presiding judge Of the

counsel in another case had begun his
speech, when Bardin drew a revolver
and fired three shots at the judge, who
had a narrow escape, the bullets graz

PARKERSBURG, W. Va, March 21.-
The special election held yesterday on
the proposition of Issuing $500, 600
worth of bonds for the improvement OF
the roads in Wood county, the returns
of which we're exceedingly slow in COM
ing in, some districts not reporting till
late this afternoon, show that the
bonds were defeated by a good major
ity. The greatest opposition was en-
countered in Parkersburg district,
where there was a majority Of 1876
against the bonds. The majority of
the people of this county are in favor
of good roads, but lacked confidence
in the scheme on account Of it being
so indefinite and uncertain in its
terms.

NEW YORK, March 21.-In anticipa-
ton of the extension to this city of
the strike of machinists now in prog
ress in Chicago, Columbus, Ohio, and
Paterson, N. j., local manufacturers
of machinery are pushing forward the
work of perfecting an organization to
cope with it when it comes Plans
for such a body were laid some time
ago, but the threats recently made by
the International Association of Ma
chinists to make the Chicago strike
national and call put 100. 900 men. in
Columbus and Paterson, resulted in an
increase of activity among manufact-
urers here.
AS a nucleus for this movement the
New York and New Jersey Machinery
Manufacturers Association was organ
lied on March 18th. with A. B. Sees
as president, J.. S. Mundy, vice pres
ident, and G. K. Garvin treasurer.
From the officers of the association
urgent pleas were sent out to manu-
facturers in this city, Brooklyn, Jer-
sey City and Newark, stating the de-
mands made in Chicago by the strik-
ers. 1t was stated by an officer of the
association that it would comprise in
it's membership several hundred man
ufacturers representing many million
of capital.
Special stress was laid on the de-
mand of the machinists that the pres
ent employees who are not union men
be discharged and their places filled
by union men. "Then also demand"
said the officer, that a fixed minimum
of wages and a nine-hour day be es-
tablished. Men can be discharged only
with the concurrence or the local
walking delegates"
According to delegate Geo. H. War
ner, of the International Machinists'
Association, the causes that have led
to the strike of machinists in Chicago
will, if the Chicago men win, precip-
itate strikes in all the large cities OF
the country, New York included, if
the manufacturers do not accede to the
demand for a nine-hour working day,
which began in Chicago and is to be
made everywhere.
"The machinists may not find it nee
essary to wait for our movement to
succeed in Chicago before extending
1t to the other cities, and the nine
hour demand may be made in New
York and elsewhere before many days.

The same dispatch announces the ar
rival at the Transvaal capital of Gen,
Echalkburger from Natal.
The second edition of the Times to-

lontein dated Monday, March 18th,
which says:
"The blowing up of bridges by the
Beers Is an evident sign that the
rransvaalers intend to abandon the
lefense Of the Free State"
All is quiet in the south and west.
A corps of young Beers from the
farms surrounding Bloemfontein, I'M
der an imperial officer, has been de-
hailed for police work and to prevent
the further footing of abandoned
farms by the Kaffirs.
1t is said that when President Kru-
ger left Bloemfontein after his recent
visit there, President Steyn's parting
remark was:
mind the British do not catch you,
Or you will get better quarters at st.
Helena than l."
Rudyard Kipling has gone to Bloem-
lontein.
The Beers at Aliwol North are re-

Tome misunderstanding regarding Lord
Balisbury's reply to Americas offer of
mediation exists there. 1t had been
quoted to the effect that Lord Sails
bury said he could accept the inter-

to the belief that the American repre-
sensations would be listened to in the
final settlement.

and EmpIoyes.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-A bill
restricting national banks from maxi
ing loans to their officers was favor
ably acted on by the House Committee
on Banking and Currency to-day. The
measure has been urged by the comp
troller Of the currency, on the ground
that many bank failures were caused
by ill-advised loans to officials of the
banks. The expected large increase OF
small banks, under the new financial
law, is said to be additional reason for
the restriction of loans to bank Off
GERS. The bill provides that no ma
tional banking association shall make
any loan tor it's president, its vice
president, it's cashier, or any of it's
directors, clerks, tellers, bookkeepers,
agents, servants or other persons in
its employ until the proposition to
make such a loan shall have been SUBJ
mitted in writing to the board of d.
rectors or of the executive committee
of such board, and approved by a ma
jority. AT such meeting the person
making such application shall not be
present. The bill also prohibits the
overdrawing of accounts of the bank
officers. Chairman Brosius will make
the report.
