Aguinal6o In Manila.

Aguinalde is now in the city Of Manila
and has been in hiding there for several
weeks, aecordingto information sent to
this country By number Of army Of
icers stationed there. These oEcers
have written to brother officers declar-
ing there is no doubt Of the Filipino
chief being now in Manila. He regards
it, it is said, as the safest place Of re-
fuge. Fer several months the govern.
ment is said to have had two secret SER
vice men at work in the Philippines
endeavoring to Locate the native leader,
and, according to their reports, it is
said he mas been traced to Manila. Gen.
Otis, it is declared, knows Of the pres
oace Of the wife and children Of Aguin-
aldo, but refuses to spy on the family.
Had Aguinsldo remained in the field it
is said he would have been surrendered
by the natives to the American authori-
ties. It has been suggested to Gen.
Otis that he offer reward for Agrin-
aldo's srreSt, and it is said if this were
done the natives would no doubt be
tempted to hunt him ous and surrender
nina to the Americans.

Caused Her Death.

A skipping rope contest bstReeu
children caused the death OF eleven
year-old Freda Poignee and the serious
illness Of TIVE other children at Bell
vile, H., Thursday. There was great
rivalry among the three children and
others Of the school which they attend
ed as to who could jump the rope most.
One little girl established record Of
$50 akips without rest, and her COM
panions attempted to beat this record
at recess and before and after school.
This feat excited Freds particularly,
who had been the champion up to that
time, and when she entsred the ring to
beat the record Of the new cener a
crowd Of girls gathered and applauded
her efforts. With flushed face and
flashing eye she passed the $50 mark,
and kept right on till 230 skips had
been made, when she staggered from
the ring and was led home dizzy by her
companions. She became i'll and the
doctor could not cure the violent pal
pitations Of her heart. When she died
he said it Was heart disease caused by
toe violent exercise.

Calling On the Trusts.

The New York Journal prints q
sensational story that a secret letter is
being sent from the Republican head
quarters to al the trusts in the cour-
try, demanding innediste campaign
funds as price Of potectio2. Accord
ing to the story the letter vas prepared
at conference between Senator Hanna,
First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry Heath and the moneyed members
OF the Republican national committee
and has been sent out By that erganisa-
tion. This letter calls attention to the
profits the trust manufacturers have
been able to secure under Republican
rule in the past and points ont tha, to
enjoy them in the future the reelection
Of Presidents Mckinley is absolutely
necessary. It is claimed that 1t is pro-
posed to raise Sc, 900, 900 in this way.

sCHLEY as BRYAN's MATE
The Bear AdRiral's Friends Bush
Him for Vice President.


A dispatch from Washington says
Gen. Wheeler's declination to be :eon-
sidersd in connection with the Vice
Presidency on the Democratic tlekeS
has diverted attention for the moment
from Admiral Dcwey'S receptive sandi-
daey.
The friends of Admiral Schley re-
garded the retirement Of Wheeler as
their opportunity. The controversy be-
tween the partisans Of Sampson and
Schley has created a bitter feeling on
the part Of the Sehley men against the
administration. They believe that
with Sehley on the Bryan ticket, the
Democratic candidate would receive
greater support than if civilian we're
nominated for second place at Kansas
City.
The Schley movement is not regarded
with any degree Of enthusiasm by the
Democratic leaders. Chairman Jones
believes that the better political course
will be to make the Democratic Vice
Presidential nomination from Indiana.
That State is deemed good fighting
ground for the Democrats, in view Of
the agitation there over the Puerto
Rican question. It also is considered
advisable to follow the example Of
other Democratic national conventions
in which the Indiana vote has been
courted with varying degree Of success.
If Indiana, which gave Hendricks
it's electoral vote, fails to furnish an ac-
cepsable candidate, then Illinois,
where Stevenson came from in the Sec
ond Cleveland administration, will be
looked to in the hope that the disttas-
bance over Porto Rican legislation will
count IS factor against the Rspubli-
cans.
The idea Of an Eastern Vice Presi-
Dental nomination does not seem to
have strong hold in the minds Of the
Bryan leaders. Sulzer and Mcclellan
from New York, have been canvassed
as possibilities, the one on account OF
his prominence in Congressional de-
bates and the other because Of his
fathers popularity in the history Of
the Democratic party. The hostility
Of other Eastern States to Bryan is un-
derstood so well that the campaign Of
the Democrats does not contemplate
the capture Of any part Of the 'eRemy's
country" through the Vice Presiden-
tial nomination.
The estimates BY which Democratic
politicians figure out a possible victory
for Bryan are interesting. It is ss-
sumed that with the solid South, he
will carry, as he did in 1895, Idaho,
Kansas, Nebraska, Nevads, South Da-
kots, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
In addition to the l7e votes thus in.
cluded, Indiana with Is; Minnesota,
8; Michigan, IA; Maryland, 8, and
| Wisconsin with IL votes are countsd.
They would add IS electoral votes to
the original l7s, giving Bryan ten =ce-s
than majority.
Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin
| are claimed by the Democrats as good
fighting ground against the administra-
ton on the questions Of expansion,
Puerto Rico and the trusts, snd there
are some Democrats ssnguine enough
to think ulineis, with twenty-four elec-
toral votes, is debatable ground.

A thick-set, ugly-looking fellow was

THE TEXAS FLOOD.
Story of an Eye witness Of the Re
markabis Disaster.

WSIAa1lS OUSSS tSI.
JsS McLemcre, who was an eye wit
ness to the collapse of she dam at Aus
tin, Texas, by which over fft7 people
lost their lives, thus described the
catastrophe:
"I was gazing intenteptly at the
great body Of water as it swept grace
fully over the crest Of tbs dam, carry
ing with it acres Of drift that parted as
it went down tie falls. The water over
the crest more than ten fest in depth
and vas rising as the rate Of eighteen
inches en- hour. The fall Of the water
was about forty feet, and the roaring
and sarging that it produced can be
better imagined than described. Il
was grand and awe inspiring, and
nothing, in my opinion, could in any
measure compare with it except the
falls of Niagara.
"While thus looking with awe on a
sight such as I had never before Wit
messed, ] noticed q sudden eommotion
of the waters near the centre Of the
dam. For moment the water where
the commotion occurred seemed to re-
cede, but it was only for moment. 1t
then shot upward in tremendous spurt
to height Of perhaps fifty feet. as if
in gleeful fury, and | saw shas the dam
was giving way. The eommotion
sprsad toward the east end Of the dam
and there vas trembling Of the earth.
"Wben the break occurred the dis
tauce from the crest Of the wave ss it
rolled over she dam to the water below
was about forty feet Imagine, if you
can, body of water forty feet in height
and Of grest width and length suddenly
released from confinement, aaa you
will have faint idea Of the scene that
I witnessed at the dam, aeress the COL
orado river.
"Once released from its confinement
the water subsided rapidly, seeking .
level with that below the dam, and
then it was seen how the break had oe-
CURED. The dam vss not toppled ever
as many suppose it would be, but in
stead large section, bagianlng near
the center snd extending coward the
east bank. was moved bodily down the
stream, a distance Of at least forty
feet. Another section, extending to
within thirty feet of the head gate
masonry On the east, was also moved
down stream distance offorsy or 6fty
feet. Between these Two displaced
sections there was gap Of about 100
feet, where the dam had completely
disappeared, and it was not long before
the section nearest the center also
eranbled and disappeared. Had the
remaining displaced section also tun-
bled down the power house, which went
down few hours later, probably vould
have been saved. This section shrow
q heavy current against the power
house, whick eventually undermined
the west wall Of the building and caused
it to collapse"

Shot By His Own Hen.

Henry Reich, private in the Amer
lean army in the Philippines writes as
follows to friend at Sherman, Texas:
"a captain in the Nineteenth infantry,
on hill over the mountains looking
for the rebels, left eight Of his men in
the hill, where they had fallen from
exhaustion, being overcome by hest.
The men we're found dead the next day.
Their bodies had been literally hacked
to pieces By the Filipino Bolomen and
their guns and belts stolen. A few
day after that this same captain was
found dead after skirmish, and there
Il bullet holes in his body, made, to all
appearances, by American bullets"

Their Hard Lot.

KWsng Esu, tke Chinese emperor,
who, as newspaper readers will reRen-
Der, was aucesssively dethronsd and ss-
ssssinatea and thereafter committed
suicide, is new reported to be dying Of
slow poison. The nany troubles Of
Ii Hung Chang are evidently az moth
ing to these Of the emperor. Il seems
that the higher msn's station in life
is in China, tie more diffcult it is for
him to keep body snd soul together.

PENSIONS FOR employees.
New sys1em Put Into Effect by tn

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The system
of pensioning old employees of the

day. About $50 men, who, by reason OF
long service in the company's employ
have become incapacitated Tor furtner

average nearly half the wages they re-
ceived when at work. 1t is UNDERSTOOD
that a sum approximating $30O,0o0 is at
present available for pensioning purposes
and that before the system can be eX-

much larger appropriation will be neces-
sary. Thus far no person holding a posi-
