Big Christmas Mail.

Incoming ocean steamers at New York are
heavily freighted with Christmas mail, and
which arrived on Monday, brought big con.
Segment, and the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
which was due Wednesday, had on board the
heaviest foreign mail ever delivered from a
single steamship at the New York postoffice.
The crack North German Lloyd boat had
2250 sacks in her hold The Umbria brought
1850 sacks, and big force of clerks was h,sy

On Monday, at Cleveland, Ohio, fire almost
entirely destroyed the big plant of the Brown
Hosting and Conveying Machine Company.
Five out of seven buildings used by the COM
pany are in ashes, and property estimated to
be worth over $500, 600 entirely consumed.
Eleven hundred workmen are thrown out of
employment as result of the fire. The com :
pany, which is probably the largest concern
of the kind in the world, has many contracts
with the government for hosting apparatus TO
be erected at coaling stations that are being
established in various parts of the world.
While carelessly handling bag of mail in
the Milwaukee post Office, clerk suddenly
became conscious of an overpoweringly of
fensive odor. He dropped the pouch, and
the odor increased in power. Eventually it
was discovered that the tremendously en-
phatic effluvis arose from the breakage of a
two-ounce bottle of oil extracted from that
sleek but exceedingly odoriferous animal, the
skunk. Who sent the stuff through the mails
is not known, but before night many Mil
waukee man knew through the medium of
rank smelling letters that il had been sent.

Peculiar Wreck of Toy Locomotive.

York, Pa, December ia serious con.
Hagratien was averted at the residence of
David Small last evening. The explosion of
a toy locomotive was the cause OF danger.
The engine is propelled by steam, heated by
a small gasoline burner, and was being run
on miniature track. After having been
started, the speed of the train increased so
rapidly that its velocity threw it off the circular
track. After leaving the track the engine
turned completely over, and some of the
gasoline leaked out of the tank. The ignition
of the escaped gasoline caused an explosion
in the tank, which completely destroyed the
mind of the family set the carpet and furni.
ture in the room on chemical fire ex-
tinguisher was brought into play, and the
flames were soon quenched.

New Counterfeit.

A new counterfeit SIS silver certificate has

good workmanship TO be very dangerous to
careless handlers of money. 1t is photo.
photographic reproduction of the new issue of
certificates bearing the portrait of the Indian
Onspapa. The counterfeit carries Treasury
number 2, AIS, 603, check letter B, aud under
it plate number 20, series of 1899, and sigma
lures of j. W. Lyons, Register of the Treas
ury, and Ellis H. Roberts, Treasurer of the

Noticeable defects are white spots on the
right cheek of the Indians portrait, and the
back of the note is of a darker shade of green
than the genuine. The paper is good and
contains the silk fibre.

Washington, Nov. 10-Major General
Macarthur, commanding the army in the
Philippines and military governor of the
islands since May 4, 1900, has submitted
his report to the war department. A
considerable portion of the report relates
to events which took place previous to
the date when he assumed command, and
he published some of the correspondence
and proclamations Of the Fiipinos OBJ
tained before that time. He refers to the
change in Aguinaldos plans in abandon
ing his army organization and starting a
guerrilla warfare. The conditions of the
country have afforded advantages for
such policy, he says, as they have en-
abled the insurgents to appear and dis
appear at their convenience. At one
time they are soldiers and immediat tely
after are within the lines in the attitude
Of peaceable natives. A widely scatter
ed formation of Filipnos quickly fol-
lowed the guerrilla warfare which led to
corresponding dissemination Of Ameri-
can troops, there being 537 stations in the
archipelago, November 1, 1900 and 433
stations September l. 1900. This resulted
in large number of minor affairs, many

Of Sheriff Geo. T. Young, from here,

still at large. There is no possible chance
for his escape, however, as all avenues

on the scent. The body Of Sheriff Young

court house is at half mast and evidence
Of mourning on all hands.

ably fatally wounded, and thus three is
the number of the victims Of this desper
ado within IS hours. Though his assault
on Beaver at Logan did not indicate the
man to be particularly We'll versed in
the use of a revolver, having pounded
him to an unconscious state with the
butt end, his accuracy and rapid firing
at the Sprngdale tragedy marked him

He was standing on the depot platform
in the dark and as Young and Beller ap-
preached from the lighted waiting room,
he opened fire from distance Of fifteen
feet and with the first shot pierced the
sherlff's heart the second shot struck the
deputy over the heart going through a
portion of the lung on the left breast,
Two other shots fired by the murderer

time being 1927 killed. es4 wounded and
1854 captured. General Macarthur says
the extensive distribution of troops has
strained the soldiers of the army to the
full limit of endurance. He says the APP
parent desultory work has demanded
more of discipline and as much of valor
as was required during the period of
regular operations against concentrated
field forces of insurgents. General Mac
Arthur speaks in the highest terms of
the service rendered by the troops amid
all labors and hardshtps.
The Filipinos," says General Mac
Arthur, ARE not warlike or ferocioua
people. To themselves, a large number
OF them would gladly accept American
supremacy which they are gradually
coming to understand means individuaE
liberty and absolute security in their
lives and property. They have been
maddened, however, the past five years
by rhetorical sophistry and stimulants
applied to national pride until power Of
discriminating in matters of public con-
Germ or private interest has been almost
entirely suspended. AS a substitute for
all considerations, the people seem to be
actuated by the idea that in all doubtful
matters OF politics or war men are never
nearer right than when going with their
own kith and kin, regardless Of correct
ness
This condition, he says, has raised diff
culties and distractions in pacifcaton.
