Der Of wounded was not known. The
American .oss in killed and wounded
was so.
Under date of January 23rd, Captain
Hendley, commanding at Vegas, N.
Mex, reported to Colonel Price that
every town and village, except Vegas
and Tucolotl, had declared in favor OF
instruction, and that the entire pop
ulation seemed ripe for it. The in
surrection in eastern New Mexico was
inaugurated by the murder of eight
Americans at Mora, January goth, 1S47,
and was continued in force until the
following July, having been marked
with many atrocities on the part Of
the insurgents. Thereafter the insur-
rection dwindled into depredations
committed by various bands Of Indians
instigated and led by Mexicans.
Hardly party, large or small, trad
ers or soldiers, crossed the plains OF
New Mexico without being attacked.
Many men were killed and large num-
bers of horses, mules, and cattle driv-
en- off. In the latter part of 1S47 COM
parative safety was secured by sta
tioning the troops at various points.
OF the insurgent prisoners, fifteen or
twenty were executed by sentence of
court-martial. The othrrs were turned
over to the civil authorities.
The events resulting from the in
surrection did not escape the atten
ton of Congress That body on July
10th, 1S4S, passed a resolution calling
upon the President for information in
regard to the existence of civil gov
eminent in New Mexico and Califor
mia, their form and character, by whom
instituted and by what authority and
how they were maintained and sup
ported; also whether any persons had
been tried and condemned for Urea
son against the United States" in New
Mexico. President Polk replied to
said resolution in a message dated
July oath, 1S4S, in which he discussed
the character of military government,
taking the broad position that such a
government may exercise 1.-THE fullest
rights of sovereignty" thereby ex-
planning the action of the military au
thorities in suppressing the insurrec-
tions.
The records show that similar
course of action was followed in sup
pressing the instruction in California
in 184S, and re-establishing the SOW
ereignty of the United States.

While Grant was cutting and selling
cordwood. and Sherman was teaching
school. there was a man in Memphis
who was having no preparation what
ever for war and yet who was destined
to makeno end of trouble for these able
soldiers. This was Gen. N. B. Forrest,
whose life by DR.. J. A. Wyeth has re-
Gently been issued Forrest was an
uneducated man and belonged to that
proscribed class in the south known
as poor whites" Moreover, he was still
further handicapped in any effort to
stand on an equality with men OF posi-
ton by having been slave trader
But by native force and by genius for
action this unlettered man became the
most successful cavalry leader in the
south. He enlisted as private, but
before he really went into action had
been made lieutenant colonel. In this
capacity he proved that he could move
men through the country with celer-
ity most remarkable. He knew moth
ing whatever about the principles OF
war and probably never read book on
the subject in his life. 1t is unlikely,
indeed. that he ever read many books
of any kind He was essentially a man
of action. and for more than three and
a half years he kept the federal com
manders guessing as to where he was
and what he was going to do next To-
ward the close of the war Forests
wonderful capacity was appreciated in
Richmond, and he was made lieu
nant-general and put in command OF
all the cavalry west of the Mississippi.
1t was too late however, for him to
do much. Hoods army had been all but
destroyed before Nashville, Sherman
was marching through Georgia, and
Gen. James H. Wilson was after For
rest with the strongest cavalry COM
mand ever placed in the saddle. He
defeated Forrest at Selma-the first
time, by the way Forrest had ever been
completely beaten-and shortly after

her to hurry on all legal formalities.
George Bouverie Is innocent after
all! Who can measure the mad anger
in the mind of Sebastian Saville? In
his rage and disappointment he says
hard, bitter things, but Barbara does
not care. Before long she meets her
lover again, and, in the sunshine OF
her love, he forgets all the sorrow and
shame and desperation that had been
his lot.
With rare delicacy, Barbara has
willed that his mother shall be with
him first; that they two shall go to
some haven till the first trouble shall
have passed away Afterwards she
will go to him herself.
And so those two who have suffered
and sorrowed meet together again, and
Barbara once more looks into the face
that still bears the shadows OF the
trouble.

HOW WAGES INCREASED.
Factory Pay Rolls Have Doubled in Five
Years.


Akron, ON the campaign OF 1896,
Mr.. Mckinley made one remark which
went to the hearts of the people from
one end of the country to the other. 1t
was, Open the Mills" said General
Charles Dick, secretary of the Repub-
lican National Committee.
Those three words met with re-
sponsive chord from those tens OF
thousands who had been idle during
the last Democratic administration,
and the empty dinner pail brigade
went to the polls and voted for full
dinner pail, and for the opening of the
mills.
I'm order to gain some idea of the
effect of restoring the home market
to our own people, the Republican Ma
tional committee sent out blanks to
members of the National Association
of Manufacturers, asking them to
kindly furnish us with the number OF
men whom they employed in each
year from 1890 to 1899 inclusive, as
well as with the total amount of
wages which they had paid during the
same years.
I'VE have received 200 replies. These
show that there was steady increase
in the number of hands employed in
the 200 factories until the year 1893,
after which there was an immediate
drop of 10000 men in 1894. But under
President McKinley's administration
the increase in the number Of men
employed by these same factories has
been startling. In 1894 they employed
90,483, in 1897 they employed 109,6OO;
in 1898 they employed 131 ,42S men, and
last year they employed 174,645 men.
In short, the number of wage earners
employed by those same 200 factories
has increased from 80, 4S3 men in 1894
up to 174,645 last year, almost doubled
in fact.
But the contrast is even more strik-
ing when applied to the amount ~
wages paid, and the following table
shows the returns received from the
same 900 manufactures:

Stealing "WhIleaways.-

At a church recently there was a
song service, and one mother took
her little five-year-old daughter to 1t.
One of the selections was Il Love to
Steal'.Awhile Away" 1t was drawled
out in the good, old-fashioned way to
the end. and the little miss. after the
first line. seemed to be lost in study.
In the midst of the prayer that fol-
lowed, she climbed up on the seat be-
side her mother, and in stage whls-
per, asked: Mamma, what are while
aways,' and what do good. people want
20 steal them for?"

At the war office the other day an
elderly gentleman of somewhat chol-
eric disposition was making inquiries
after a relative in South Africa. An
noyed at the inability of the official
to give him any tidings, he began to
charge them with willfully keeping
back intelligence. In the midst Of
his expostulations a telegram was
handed him, and he Immediately asked
the official if it concerned South At

ative, but said 1t was not of public
interest. Thereupon the old gentle

at last, to keep him quiet, the official

him the wire. 1t read as follows:

anne 200 manufactures

"The amount of wages paid by these
same 200 manufacturers increased
steadily from 1890 to 1892, then there
was drop in 1898 and another drop in
1894. During the next two years
wages picked up, but it was not until
1897 that these same manufacturers
were paying out as much money in
wages as they had paid in 1892. The
increase of their pay rolls in 1898 and
1899 is as gratifying to me, as it must
be to the men who are now busy at
good wages.
Between 1894 and 1899 the 200
manufacturers of the National Asso-
citation, who reported to us, had in
creased their payrolls by upwards OF
$9S,000,000, in fact the amount of
wages which they distributed last year
was almost double what they paid out
in 1894.
"If this ratio of increase were ap-
piled to the whole country, without
taking into account the numbers of
new factories that have been started in
the last few years, who can deny that
general prosperity has visited the
country. And what depth of mean
ing those three words Open the
Mills, uttered by Mr.. Mckinley less
than four years ago, has really con-
veyed."

Fatal TENEMENT FIRES.
COMMISSIONS COMMITTEE FINDS AN IN
USUAL NUMBER OF DEATHS
THIS YEAR

report by a subcommittee of the Tenement
House Commission OF 1900 deals with fires in tene-
ment houses and says that forty-one people have
been burned 10 death in tenement houses in the
city during the last twelve months That record is
proportionately large in eleven preceding years
the number Of persons who persisted in tenement
house fires in the city III. It is said that Al
per of all the fires in the city occur in tene-
ment houses. although such houses are only 81 per
cent OF all the buildings in the city An examina-
ton Of the records Of sixty thousand fires has been
made. with the purpose of discovering how fires in
tenement houses usually originate and spread. The
report says:
Among the causes most frequently noted are the
careless OF matches the upsetting of kerosene
lamps gas explosions, and the placing of clothing
and furniture too near stoves, while many fires
occur from children playing with matches on sofas
and beds. Other causes be found in Eat
boiling over, rubbish in cellars igniting, sparks
from locomotives and frecrackers and a certain
proportion are OF incendiary origin.
About one-fouTth Of all the fires spread through
the light shafts, and one-hfth through the halls
and stairs, while another fourth spread by means
OF the partitions and foorings. It becomes evident
therefore that the small. narrow light shaft
ing 2 hue, is source of the greatest danger in
buildings OF this kind. and from the point Of view
Of fire, well as from the sanitary point of view
the construction Of such shafts in future tenement
houses should be absolutely prohibited 1t is equally
buildings should be made absolutely freproof and
that every precaution should be taken to prevent
the spread Of fire by confning IL such hreproof
portions of the building
