motion of Senator Chandler to strike
out of the resolution declaring Mr..
Quay not to be entitled to a seat the
word mot" Senators throughout the
chamber eagerly followed the roll call,
for all knew the vote would be close.
The first sensation was caused by the
failure of Senator Pettigrew Is. d. to
answer to his name, although he was
in his seat. When Senator Vests name
was called he voted mo" in a clear, dis
tinct voice, thus dashing the last hope
of the friends of Senator Quay, who

MANY FILIpINos SLAIN.
A Week OF Fighting in Manila Dur
ing Which 37S Insurgents Were
Killed and Mnny Wounded.

Manila, April 23.-Last week was
one of the bloodiest of the war since
the first days fighting around Manila.
Authentic reports, mostly official,
show a total of 37s Fifipinos killed, 12
officers and 244 men captured and
many more wounded. The number
wounded is hardly guessable. Con-
sidering that the Filipinos entirely
lack hospital facilities, a great ma
jority OF the wounded will die. Prob
ably the weeks work finished 1000
insurgents. The Americans loss was
nine killed and 16 wounded. Two SER
geants and one private were killed
in ambushes while escorting provision
trains.
Manila, April 26.-Offcers who have
arrived here from Nueva Caceras,
province of South Camarines, bring
details of a fight April 16, in which 50
Iilipinos were killed.
Lieut.. Balch, with 20 cavalrymen from
the Thirty-seventh regiment, cornered
SO bolomen in a river and shot everyone,
the bodies floating away. One soldier
had his head struck off with a bolo.
Gen. Bells two regiments are hard
worked in clearing the country. They
meet with small squads of bolomen.
and last week killed a total of 1875. A
squadron of the Eleventh cavalry is
about leaving Manila, on board the
transport Lennox, to reinforce them.
The insurgents keep the province in a
stae of terror, and are wreaking ven
geance on natives who trade with the
Americans, burning many villages. in
Guiding the populous town of San Fer
nando.
Gen. Bell has issued a proclamation
declaring that he will retaliate relent-
lessly unless this guerrilla warfare
ceases, and that he will burn all the
towns which harbor guerrillas. In a
fight at Sorgogon, Albay province, on
April 16, three companies Of the For
ty-seventh infantry, Capt. Gordon
commanding, routed a large force of
insurgents, mostly bolomen, killing SO.

DIVES INTO COKE OVEN.
Unknown Man at Connel1sville. Pa.
Commits Suicide by Plungins
Into q Fiery Furnace,

Connellsville, Pa, April 24.-An un-
known ma committed suicide Mon
day morning at the works of the
Frick Coke company by diving into
a coke oven. The coke workers saw
him only for an instant as he pre-
pared for the leap. He was well
dressed. For the slightest possible
space of time he seemed to pause on
the sloping ground behind the ovens.
then he ran down the steps. Eight
feet from the oven tops the nan shot
into the air, his hands poised above
his head in the fashion of a diver, and
descending swiftly dropped head first
into the head of an oven that had
burned to the white heat of coke Just
before it is drawn. A rush was made
for the oven by the oven drawers, but
all there was to show of the man was
a charred mass.

WEPENER RELIEVED.
Gen. Brabant Fights His Way to
BeIeRguered Town Beers
Forced to Retire.

London, April 26.-It is officially an
nounced that Wepener has been re-
]ieved. The relief of Col. Dalgety was
accomplished by Gen. Brabant.
London, April &c. The war Office
has issued the following from Lord
Roberts, dated Bloemfontcin, April
rs, 1928 p. M: "The enemy retired
from in front Of Wepener last night,
and this morning fed northeastward
along the aLadybrand road. Their
number was between 1000 and 5000"
London, April 26.-The' Times has
the following from a special CORE
spondent, dated Mafeking, Basutoland,
April IS: II rode from Johannesburg
here, skirting Wepener, and l met
Brabant's advance guard four miles
south of Wepener. They report three
successful fights, Saturday, Sunday
andETuesday, with 20 casualties. The
siege was raised, and 5000 Of the enc
my retired along the Ladybrand road
within our sight and unpursued. Col.
Dalgety's casualties are 33 killed and
1872 wounded"
It is 10Y apparent that the chances
OF Lord Roberts catching the retreat
ing Beers in a net are very slender.
The Beers have everywhere retired at
the first pressure of the British adj
vance, and the hope hat Gen. Rumble
would be able to induce them to re-
main at Dewetsdorp until they had
been forced to fight or to surrender
has been disappointing.
Considerable results have been at
tanned in the relief Of Wepener and in
the clearing of the southeastern cor
ner of the Free State of Beers, but
the Boer army, whatever it's strength,
has still to be dealt with.
Besides the casualties among the
men, the Boer bombardment of Col.
Dalgety's position wrought great
havoc among the cattle and horses.
The garrison could have held out for
another fortnight, but it is in no con-
dition to render much assistance in
pursuing the Beers.
A special dispatch from Pretoria,
dated Tuesday, says that the Beers
have ~reoccupied Boshof, the British
retiring.
Paris, April ga dispatch from
Pretoria says that Gen. De Wet has
Brabant's Horse isolated and has re-
pulsed two attempts to relieve it, cap
turing so BritisherE.
London, April 25.--An official list of
the British losses ut Wepener from
April 9 to April IS shows: Killed, three
officers and1s men; wounded, IA officers
and Sc men.

RAIN D NEEDED.
Forest Fires in the Cnss Lake (Minn.)
Region Threaten Enormous
DestructiO

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 24.-Unless
a heavy rain speedily visits the Cass
lake region the fires now rioting in
the "toppings" will extend to the
standing timber, .inflicting losses which
will run into the tens of millions of
dollars. The fire is confined to the
stumpage and boughs, the old cuttings
OF the past two winters. Minneapolis
log owners are greatly alarmed. Ev-
erything is as dry as finder. M. j.
Scanlon, of the Scanlon-Gibson Lumber
company, says there has been a great
deal of property destroyed in the re-
gion west of Cass lake, and extending
back about rs miles to the west and
northwest, and probably SO miles on
the southwest. The streams have
dried up and everything favors a most
disastrous forest fire.
Winnipeg, Man, April 24.-Con-
tractors Keith and Buchanan, whose
outfits were burned in the woods near
Vassar, had a final roll call of their EN-
ployes Monday night, and the result
was most encouraging, as only four
men now remain who have not an
swered to their names. It is hoped
that these have also escaped and will
find their way to the city before many
days. The fatalities among the set
tiers are unknown, but no bodies have
been found by the search parties so
far, and SO many fugitives are reach
ing places of safety it is hoped all will
escape, especially as the fire has abated
in fury and the wind has fallen. The
people who escaped tell of fearful ex-
periences, and the scene of d~esolation
over an area of more than 1000 square
miles is said to testify to the fury of the
fire. Wild animals by thousands have
escaped to open prairies, but hundreds
of carcaSses are fonnd
