A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Senator Davis Holding His Own. but
In a Critical Condition.

ST. PAUL. Nov. Whether the i'm
provement noted in the condition OF
United States Senator Davis is other
than superficial it is impossible to say.
The continued intervals of .delirium are
deemed unfavorable to recovery. How
ever, the fact that he continues to take
and digest considerable food and tonics
Is considered much in his favor.
The weakened condition of the senator
makes recuperation more difficult. His
health, shattered in the civil war. was
never fully restored. However. his strong
will is battling with the disease, and

HARRASSED
BY FILIPINOS
insurgents Shoot Flaming Ar
rows Into GarriSOned Towns.
ONE TOWN PARTIALLY BURNED
Guerrilla Warfare Continues and
Frequent Attempts at Ann
bush Are Made.

A Manila special says: OF late the
insurgents in Albay province, Luzon,
have adopted hsrrassing tactics against
towns which the Americans have gar
risoned. They camp in the hills and
mountains and constantly fire upon the
American outposts. When the troops
sally against them they scatter. re-
turning when the Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows, and
have thus burned large part Of the
town of Albay. Indeed, most of the
larger towns in the province are prac-
tically deserted, except by the garri-
sons. Scarcely any of the inhabitants
return to their homes. They are camp
ing in the interior, and it is supposed
armed insurgents prevent them going
back. 1t is reported that there is much
suffering among them owing to lack
of food. As result of these condi-
tions the hemp business in that sec
ton is seriously hindered and ships
going for cargoes are compelled to
take gangs of coolies to do their land
ing. Hemp held in the interior is
quite inaccessible.
General Bell will take two regiments
and battery through the provinces
of North CamariGes and South Camar-
ines, going there on transports. Many
insurgents retreated to that part OF
the island from Cavite and Batangss
provinces.
Another expedition will soon start
to garrison towns along the north coast
of the island of Mindanao.
Guerrilla warfare continues south OF
Manila. Two attempts have been made
to ambush the Americans. Colonel
Schwan, while returning to Manils
with his staff and an escort of LOG
from Batanges, was attacked by the
insurgents. The latter were dis.
persed, but the Americans had seven
men wounded.
Lieutenant Colonel Beacon, will
six companies of the Forty-second in
fantry, had two hours fight With

leans along the trail through Moronq

The bubonic plague continues. Eight
cases were reported last week among
the natives and Chinese. There is nc
excitement, however, and business and
social life in Manila are undisturbed.
Smallpox is prevalent among the
natives along the railroad, and in the
towns on the northern coast. Two
officers of the Thirty-siXth infantry
have died of the disease and another

CHANDLER FOR SILVER.

Senator Says He Cannot Confidently Sup
port the Financial Bill.
The financial debate was continued
in the senate Saturday by Mr.. Chan.
dler, who opposed the gold standard
and strongly urged the double stand
ard. In beginning his speech he said:
"The passage Of the bill without
adequate recognition of the desire and
determination of the American people
that silver shall be remOnetized is 9
defiance of the Republican platform oil
1896, and without such recognition IN
the bill cannot give to it my vote.
1t would be unqualified gold monomet'
sllism, and to advocate it is An sbsn-
donmsnt of Republican principles.

WOLCOTT GIVES WARNING.
Senator Says the Abandonment
of BimetaIIiSm Would Be
Fatal To Republicans.

The final weeks discussion of the
pending financial bill was begun in
the senate Monday. The speakers
were two Republicans, Mr.. Elkins, of
West Virginia, aud Mr.. Wolcott, of
Colorado, and one Populist. Mr.. But
Ter, Of North Carolina.
Mr.. Elkins advocated the passage of
the pending senate measure in a brief
but forceful argument Mr.. Wolcott,
chairman OF the international bimetal-
lie commission of 1897, spoke for many
Republicans who adhere to bimetal
lism and his speech, earnest and elo-
quent, was received with unusual at
tention. Mr.. Butler advocated the
adoption of his amendment providing
for an issue of paper currency by the
government.
A house bill for the preservation of
the frigate constitution was passed,
the measure providing that the ship
should be restored as nearly as posi-
bic to its original condition.
The following bills on the general
calendar were passed:
To construct q road to the national
cemetery at Dover, Tenn, at a cost Of
81 500; to carry into effect two reso-
lutions of the continental congress
to be erected to the memory of Cen
eral Francis Nash and William L. Da-
