bers Of the Universal League of Peace,

Painfully affected by the bloody and
terrible struggle in which two of the
most civilized peoples are brought into
conflict in South Africa, the under

Living In Burrows,

London, Jan. 9.-Advices by mai

by recent letters. II the Beers con-

Some people have spent much timC
and patient labor in making burrows
for themselves, but find life there Sc
intolerably monotonous that they pre-.

pass whole days with wives and fami-
lies, or in solitary misery, where there

ANNEXATIONST ELECTED.
Toronto Chooses One For Mayor
by 1000 Votes.
LARGELY DUE TO WORKINGMEN

Toronto, Jan, 0,--Toronto astonish.
cd Its loyal British subjects by electing
an annexationist mayor. The contest
was between Il. A. Macdonald, annex
ationists, and H. Il, Clarke, II conserva-
tive member OF the Canadian house of
commons, Macdonald won by 1000
votes, Clarke was backed by the
Orange order Of the city, but MacDon-
aid carried solidly the worltingmen's
and socialist vote on platform against
the city hall ring, the gas and street
railway monopolies, and on scheme
to construct ship canal connecting
Lake Huron and Lake Ontario.
Five years ago Macdonald conducted
a newspaper here which advocated the
annexation Of Canada to the United
States, Macdonald was then lieu
tenant in the Twelfth York battalion
of militia, There was considerable
feeling at that time over the annexa-
,tion question, and Mcdonald was
stripped Of his uniform as n result OF
issuing the annexation organ. The
result Of the election seems to have
been largely due to the worhingmen,
who wished to see n change In methods
OF the municipal gov ernment.

Boots Take Another Advance
Cotton Goods Still Up.
WHEAT MOVES SLUGGISHLY.

New York, Jan. s.--Failures in 1890
were 9,303 In number, with liabilities
OF Si93, l32,O ,O70. The last days of the
year added few more TO the number
and some millions TO the known liabili,
ties OF firms and banks which failed
close to the end, 30 that commercial de-
faults reached S0O,s7O, ,Oso, of which
$40, ZOE, l64 were IN manufacturing,
Sis,094, III in trading and 81, ,i62,05i
In brokerage, promoting and other
commercial liabilities,
The disposition to ask higher prices
Is seen in boots and shoes 20 cents ad-
vance being asked on some for which
17]S cents was asked and paid in No
vember
Cotton goods are at the highest quo
tations Of last year, with good demand
though cotton has declined q little.
But the goods were at no time advanced
quite in proportion to the material.
Woolen goods are much lower with re-
spect to wool than year ago, and
some further advance has been expect
ed. Wool is strongly held though full
prices asked month ago cannot be OBJ
tanned. Cotton does not rise further,
because receipts from plantations have
somewhat increased, and accounts Of
OF large stocks at many small towns
have attracted attention, The southern
mills which usually supply themselvea
with large stocks from the surrounding
country without passing the cotton
through any market or drawing II
until 1t is wanted, have bought largely
on account Of the publicly announced
combination last fall to raise prices
These mills consumed last year 1,4O0,,
900 bales, but are reckoned as having
taken for this years crop only 401, 900.
Wheat still moves sluggishly with
small changes In prices, In six months
Of the crop year about 0o,OOO,OOO bu.
shells, -four included, have been export
ed, against $1,000, 900 last year. Tho
price is practically unchanged, as also
for corn, of which 2,o9o, 1876 bushels
have been exported for the week,
against 3,572,4l2 last year.

LIBjT. GILNORFS STORY.
Tells Of Suffering And Abuse From
Insurgents,
WANDERED EIGHT MONTHS.

Manila, Jan. O.-LieutcnAnt j, @.
Gilmore, OF tho United States gunboat
Yorktown, who was captured by the
insurgents last April near palcr, on
the coast OF Luzon, and rescued few
days ago by Colonel Luther H. Hare
Of the Thirty.third volunteer infantry,
sat In the apartment Of his sister, Mrs
Major Price, at the Hotel oriente, In
Manila, and told q remarkable story OF
his eight months In captivity, ending
with his dramatic deliverance from
death that seemed inevitable, What
follows is from Lieutenant Gllmores
statement to the agent Of the associa-
ted press, The Filipinos, completely
terrified, left Bcnguet on December T.
They hurried the prisoners from town
TO town, often rctraclng the trail, not
knowing whore the Americans would
attack, After being almost without
food for three days, they killed several
horses and we lived on horse flesh for
several days, did not have full
meal from December until | reached
Vigan. Indeed, the rcscuing party
lived largely upon rice without salt
There was one day when | was reduced
to chewing grass and bark.
The Filipinos abandoned us on the
night Of December 10, We had reach
ed the Abalut river near its source
that morning, and the Filipnos RATED
us over. We then went down the
stream, along n rough trail, guarded
by a company of Filipinos. That night
we were separated from this guard,
and another company, armed with
Mausers, was put in charge Of us, /
suspected something, and questioned
the lieutenant in command. He said;
Il have orders from General Tino TO
shoot you all, but my conscience for
bids. | shall leave you here.
On the morning Of December ls,
while we were working on the RATS,
the Americans came towards us yell
ing. One Of my men shouted "They
are on us. He was lashing a raft of
bamboos, I, however, knew II was
not the yell Of savages, but the yell OF
Americans. The rescuing troops
thought we had Filipino guards and
called to us in English to lie down, so
that they could shoot the Filipinos.
That was the finest body Of officers and |
men ever saw,
/ The Filipino treatment OF the Span
iards was brutal in the extreme. The
insurgents had old grudges to wipe
out against them, Many talk about
the reconcentrados in Cuba, but have
seen Spaniards die at the rate of two
or three per day Of starvation in the
hospitals at Vigan, have seen Ia
gallo officers strike Spaniards in the
face with whips and revolvers
