Headquarters mt Chicago.

CHICAGO, February 11.-Controller
Charles G. Dawes, who was in the
city to-day on his way to Peoria,
where he will speak tomorrow night
at the Lincoln Day banquet Of the
Kickapoo Club, said there was little
doubt that the national Republican
headquarters would be established in
Chicago.
1.-THE sentiment Of the national COM
mittee seems to favor the selection of
Chicago" he said, land there is little
doubt this will be decided upon. It is
probable the same our followed
four years ago will be adopted, that Of
making Chicago the principal, or
working headquarters of the commit
tee, and maintaining another head
quarters in the East, New York un-
doubtedly. The experience of four
years ago here was Of such a satisfac-
tory character that the committee feels
disposed to try it again."

CHICAGO, February 11.-Instead OF
allowing the building industries Of
Chicago to be tied up for an indefinite
period, members of the contractors as
ISOLATION have decided to try to employ
non-union men to complete the build
ings now In process of construction.
This decision was announced to-day
by w. F. Bebel, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the building con-
tractors council. AS an outcome OF
the announcement the union men have
decided to picket all the buildings be-
ing erected in Chicago.
In all the picket force will number
nearly 1000 men. These pickets, ac-
cording to the labor leaders, will try
to persuade men to keep away from
buildings where the union men are at
work. At first no attempt will be made
by the contractors to resume work on
all buildings. Efforts will be confined
to structures that must be finished
within a certain time.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, February IL
A Times special from Port Arthur,
Texas, says: James Sweeny, white,
was lynched at l O'Clock this morning.
Sweeny was a cotton screwman fore
man, and had killed Charles Crumbach,
a fellow laborer, by jabbing a bayonet
through his neck.
The crime was committed on the at
ternoon of February LIST, in a room
with no witnesses present, and is said
to have resulted from a saloon fight
That took place a few hours previously.

der in the first degree. He was placed
on trial at Beaumont, Texas, Friday
and last night the jury returned a YER
dict of mot guilty" AS soon as he

A STARTLING INCREASE
In the Number of Saloons in ManfI,

In the Number of Saloons in Manila
Under American Rule.
WASHINGTON, February 11.-Capt.
Frank M. Wells, chaplain of the First
regiment of volunteers, who has just
returned from the Philippine islands,
spoke in Garfield Memorial Church to-
day under the auspices of the W. C. T.
u, on the liquor question in the Phil
ippine islands. He declared that since
the Americans took Manila 400 places
where liquor is sold had sprung UP in
Manila, while before the Americans
came to the islands Manila only had
three saloons. F~ilipinos, he asserted,
spoke well of the American soldiers
save that they said the Americans
were "bad people," when they had
drunk too much liquor. Whiskey, he
said, was sold in the barracks at Ilo-
lilo not $50 feet from his head
quarters until he put an end to 1t by
complaints to the colonel and provost
marshal. The transport Indiana, on
which he had returned to the United
States, he characterized as a "whiskey
transport" and he said that he had
unsuccessfully attempted to have the
sale Of liquors on transports stopped
while in the Philippines.

Harris, on trial for wife murder,
brought in a verdict of murder in the
second degree last night. The penalty
is from five to eighteen years i'm

their home, No. Is North Stryker
street. With his arm about his wife's
neck he sent a bullet into her brain.
She was removed to the Maryland
University Hospital, where she died
three days later, not, however, before
imploring her relatives not to prose-
cute her husband. A. Y. Jones, Of Re-
nova, Pa, father of Mrs. Harris, had
arrived on the morning the tragedy
was committed, and wa in the house
when the shooting occurred. 1t is

Harris and his wife were taking leave
Of each other that the shot was fired.
Harris declares he does not remember
the act, but says he had purchased
the revolver for the purpose Of taking

NEW YORK, February u.-Buildlng
No. Z, in the Brooklyn navy yard. oc-
cupied by the electrical equipment de-
partment, was destroyed by IRE to-
day. The loss is 500. 900, equally d.

Dispatch tomorrow will say:
"One of the sensational developments
of the expected suit of H. G. Prick
against the Carnegie Steel Company,
limited, is the report that Henry
Phipps, Jr., next to the largest stock
holder in the company, has broken the
business relations with Mr.. Carnegie,
which have been exceptionally close
during the latter's business life. The
two steel kings have been associated
since boyhood and their interests have
been identical not only in a business
way, but in their philanthropic work
and social standing. The announce
ment of the breach will therefore be a
surprise in the steel world.
MI. Phipps owns eleven per cent. Of
the capital stock of the company, which
is more than the holdings Of any other
one stockholder except Mr.. Carnegie.
1T is said that Mr.. Phipps alone
stands as the only partner whose sig
nature is not attached to the famous
ironclad agreement. The reason for
this is not known to the public. but
the important omission, it is said, will
be seized upon by Mr.. Prick as n of
the strongest arguments in his efforts
to have the celebrated document bro
ken, his contention being that the
agreement cannot be binding when M
of the largest s~tockholding partners
is not attached. David Watson, who
drew up the paper, will be one Of the
leading lawyers employed by Mr.. Prick
to break it, and the arguments put
forth to this end by himself and At
torney John G. Johnson. of Philadel-
phia, promise to be very interesting to
the entire business world"
PITTSBURG, Pa, February IL
Post tomorrow will say:
The earning capacity of the Carnegie
company will not enter into the settle
ment with H. C. Prick. If the conten-
ton of Mr.. Carnegie's attorneys is ap-
proved by the courts. In outlining the
defense, of the attorneys asserted
to-day that "the book valuation refer
red to In the ironclad agreement has
nothing to do with the profits. 1t sim
ply represents the value of the plants,
stock, bills receivable, money onl hand,
etc., at the date of the last inventory,
less the liabilities of the concern. 1t
does not follow a cent extra for the
stock as a m~oney-maker. In other
words, the attorney held, Mr.. Prick
could not discount the future.
The counsel said the law governing
limited partnerships will prove an ef-
fective weapon for the defense. The
company has never, 1t is asserted, been
an incorporated concern, and its stock
is not subject to fluctuation in values.
1t is what is known in the law as q
limited stock company.
All along MI. Carnegie has insisted,
his attorney says, that the big steel
company should be run in this way.
Efforts to form a company were block
ed by the steel king and those who
were dissatisfied could sell out and re-
tire.
There Is one thing to be borne in
mind" said the attorney, Sin dealing
with a limited partnership adjustment.
Each partner Is only liable for the
amount Of his stock in case the COM
pany fails. In equity, then, a partner
selling out should not receive any
greater amount than he is liable for in
payment Of the concerns debts"

Filipinos Have Burned : Laree

Americans Garrfsontng TOWN.
Troops Ambushed-The F1aeue
and smallpox.

MANILA, February IL. 1880 p. m-,-
OF late the insurgents In Albay PROV
tnce, Luzon, have adopted harassine
tactics against the towns which the
Americans have garrisoned. They
camp in the hills and maintain q con-
slant fire upon the American outposts'
When the troops sally against them,
they scatter, returning when the Amer
leans retire.
They shoot burning arrows and have
thus burned a large part OF the town q
Albay. Indeed most of the larger towns
in that province are practically desert
ed except by the garrisons. Scarcely
any of the inhabitants return to their
homes. They are camping in the In
terror and it Is supposed armed insur-
gents prevent them going back.
It is reported that there is much SUI
fering among them owing to lack OF
food. AS a result Of these conditions
the hemp business In that section Is
seriously. hindered and ships going for
cargoes are compelled to take gangs OF
coolies to do their loading. Hemp held
in the interior Is quite inaccessible
Col. Bell will take two regiments n a
battery through the provinces Of North
Camarines and South Camarines, going
there on transports. Many insurgents
retreated to that part of the island
from Cavite and Batangas provinces.
Another expedition will soon start to
garrison towns along the north coast
of the island of Mindonao.
Guerrilla warfare continues south OF
Manila. Two attempts have been
made to ambush the Americans. Col.
Echwan, while returning to Manila
with his staff and an escort OF a hum
dred cavalry from Batangas, was at
tackled by the insurgents. The latter
were dispersed, but the Americans
have five men injured.
!. Lieut.. Col. Beacon, with six COM
panies of the Forty-second infantry.
had a two hours fight with Gen. Pho
Del Pillars command, which attempted
to ambush the Americans along the
trail through Morong province, near
the lake. Here also the insurgents
were dispersed, but the Americans had
several wounded, among them a cap
tain.
Gen. Bell Is operating southwark
through Zambales province with a
small force.
Another expedition is proceeding
northward from Subig.
1t is reported that the insurgent gen.
eral, Alexandra, has recovered from his
wound and has assembled a large force
in that district.
The plague continues. Eight cases
were reported last week among the
natives and Chinese. There is no ex-
citement, however, and business and
social life are undisturbed.
Smallpox is prevalent among the
natives along the railroad and in the
towns on the northern coast. Two Of
flcers of the Thirty-sixth volunteer in
fantry have died of the disease and
another officer and several soldiers
have been stricken.

Whit Whitman,s Pride.

Whitman's grandmother was
Quaker, and the bard had been all his
life used, Quaker fashion, to sitting in
the house with his sombrero on if it
suited him to do so. One day. with
friend, he entered the gloomy and half
empty precincts of Trinity church,
New York, and took a back seat in the
obscurity and for a moment forgot
to remove his hat or was probably just
about to do so when an Officious verger
stepped up and requested him to take
1t off.
Walt, a man of immense pride, not
seeing fit to do so instantaneOusly or
being very slow in his mental proc
esses, was taking the matter into con-
sideration for a second when the
verger knocked the offending hat off
his head. Walt picked up the huge
felt and, doubling it together, smote
the fellow vigorously twice or thrice
with it on the head and slowly left
the church, the red faced sexton fol
lowing and threatening him with the
law-Boston Transcript.

There is a bit of news that comes
from Manila that must be extremely
disquieting to those partisans who
build their hopes on anti-imperialism.
1t is that many paroled rebel exotic
ers are agitating for the formation oi
native regiments for service with the
Americans in China. They claim they
will be able to raise 10, 900 men accus
toned to arms for this purpose, and as
for the soIdier-like qualities OF the

Several years after the close of the

Lynchburg, Va. to commemorate some
national event, says V. Halsey in Lip

there assembled who had fought in the
war. Among them was a major of a
Massachusetts regiment, who, meeting
General Jubal Early of the Confeder-
ate army, cordially greeted him.
Pointing to his own decorations, the
major said, "Ah. general. you see we
have all the crosses now"
YES" replied the old general. "In
olden times they hung thieves on cross

To show to what measures Italians
will resort to frighten witnesses from

that witness was woman. She had
received one of the threatening letters.
