FEARS TO YIELD.
Aguinaldo Dares Not Take Advantage
of Amnesty Offer Because of a
Guerrilla Order.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Copies of Ma
Mia papers received at the war de-
partment contain letter purporting
to be from a personal friend of Agui-
naldo which states that the Filipino
chief does not take advantage of the
amnesty proclamation because some
time ago he gave orders to his follow
ers to break up in guerrilla bands.
The amnesty orders excerpts those
who violated the laws of war and it
states that Aguinaldo fears that he
would be in the excepted class should
he undertake to surrender under the
amnesty proclamation. The latter is
dated at Biac-So-Bato, which is said
to be the present provisional head
quarters of Aguinaldo. 1t states,
however, that Aguinaldo never stays
more than one night in place and
only a few hours N any one location.
He allows no one to come near him,
except his most intimate personal
friends.

Paris, Aug. 1s.-The list of awards
to American exhibitors at the Paris
exhibition was made public Friday.
The United States, in all, secured 1881
awards. Of these 220 were grand
prizes, 1876 gold medals, 5s3 silver med
ais, 422 bronze medals, 270 honorable
mentions and long list of gold, silver
and bronze medals for collaborators.
Suchis the record achieved by Amer
lea, as announced by the French Off
Gals. Every line of industry and art
and skill is given recognition. Amer
lean farm products, American mines
and forestry receive grand prizes and
gold medals, and American cottons,
woolens and silks are given the same
consideration as are American harvest
ing machinery, sewing machines,
printing presses, liberal arts and
transportation, while silverware, jew
elry, art and education are placed In
the front.

AN AMERICANS LETTER.
He Calls War Piratical and Advises
Filipinos to Seize an American Of.
ficer and Try Him for Piracy.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Letters and
papers belonging to Aguinaldo,
which were captured several months
ago by Gen. Funston, were made pub
lie Wednesday by the war department.
Some of these documents tend to sub
stantiate the charges that the Fill
ipino insurgents have received encour-
agement from persons in the United
States. The most remarkable letter
in the collection is from DR.. Montague
R. Leverson, dated Fort Hamilton, N.
Y, July II, 1899, who describes him
self as member of the Anti-Imperial-
list league. The writer declares the
action of the United States in the
war is piracy and advises the Filipinos
to capture some United States officer
of high rank and try him before their
congress on this charge. While it is
said by officers of the administration
that a charge of treason might be
based on Mr.. Leverson's letter, no le-
gal proceedings will be instituted.

The story Of Coils Potter Huntington's
life is that Of an American Monte Cristo
Born in perjury, he died the possessor of
probably $50, 000, 900, perhaps more. 1t is
doubtful whether the deceased railroad
magnate himself knew the actual extent of
his Accommodations. His interests were
marvelously varied and up to the very last
he was still the tireless money-getter, the
Napoleon of railroad finance and the Midas
whose every enterprise seemed to turn to
gold.
Unlike some other self-made American
millionaires, Coils P. Huntington's whole
career was creative and constructive. He
piled up millions upon millions of personal
wealth, not by wrecking railroads, but by
building them. Towns and cities were the
direct creation of Huntington's army of
railroad builders and whole states profited
by his constructive methods. When there
were no more railroad fields to conquer he
invested millions in ship-building enter
prises. Thirty thousand workmen have
been on Mr.. Huntington's pay roll at one
time in the larger companies controlled by
him and. counting the other enterprises in
which he was the main factor. his pay roll
has contained as high as 100000 men.
New York, Aug. 1S.-Simple and brief
were the services yesterday which pre-
coded the bearing of the body of Coils
P. Huntington to the mausoleum in
Woodlawn cemetery. Every wheel and
stroke of commerce throughout the
great Southern Pacific system of rail
roads and steamship lines was stopped
for seven minutes during the burial,
and during the short suspension of
business $4,000 men in all sections of
the United States remainedidle.

His Career.
Ex-senator ingalls, was born in Middle
ton Essex county, Mass. in 1888. He was
graduated from Williams college in 1855,
ana received the degree OIL LII. II. IN 1854.
He was admitted to the bar in 1857, and re-
moved to Kansas in October, 1858. He was
a delegate to the Wyandotte constitutional
convention in 1859; secretary of the terri
torial council in 1850; secretary of the state
senate in 1861; member of the state senate
of Kansas from Atchison county in 1852;
major lieutenant colonel and judge advo-
cate Kansas volunteers in 1S63-65.
Mr.. Ingalls, was elected to the United
States senate from Kansas as republican
to succeed s. c. Pomeroy, republican, took
his seat March 4, 1873, and was twice re-
elected. His term of service expired March
4, 1891.
y John ]. ingalls, was one of the most pic
turesque figures in American public life. A
man of strong individuality, he had pro-
nounced views on many subjects, and, be-
ing forcible and ready speaker and writer,
never hesitated to express them. Those
who disagreed with him he frequently ar
raigned bitterly and to this lack of rhetor-
ical urbanity may possibly be ascribed in
measure his failure to win during the late
years of his life any new laurels in the
arena in which he was formerly so con-
spicuous figure
Mr.. ingalls, had many admirers and
friends, and even those who had small per-
sonal liking for him ungrudgingly paid
tribute to his rare talent and his ability as
statesman and orator
Since leaving the senate he devoted his
time to literary work and the lecture plat

The medical work of the missions
has been great and admitted boon
to the Chinese, who have accepted it
gratefully. In 1890 there were no
fewer than JOS hospitals, largely
stated by medical women, and they
attended in that year actually 34s,-
439 Chinese patients, both giving
medical treatment and performing
the operations that restore ease to
the tortured, give sight to the blind
and open new life to the dying. So
highly was this secular work appre-
ciated that many wealthy Chinese
had made large donations.

Following is a summary of the reso-
lutions adopted:
1t pledges support to Bryan and Steven
son. and reaffirms the Kansas City plat
form; declares that combination of manu-
featuring trusts and railway trusts has re-
suited in closing many factories in Iowa,
and demands the enactment and enforce
ment of stringent laws, both state and ma
tional, to control all trusts; deprecates the
growing power and influence Of railways
in state politics, and the subserviency of
the executive council, the railroad commits
sion and even the governor himself to rail-
way dictation; 1t demands that railway
rates and taxation, as well as legislation
affecting railways, shall be fixed for the
benefit of the whole people without i'm
proper interference from special interests
involved: it condemns the subterfuge of the
mulct and pharmacy act by which the re-
publican party has returned the saloon to
Iowa, while still maintaining the farce Of
prohibition; declares its belief In major
ity rule and favors an honest and open
policy of local control with stringent regu-
lations; condemns the republican party for
passing the anti-fusion law and constantly
changing other election laws with view
to confuse the voter and defeat the will of
the electorate: urges all citizens who love
liberty and oppose imperialism and the i'm
perialistic policy Of the republican party to
rally to the support of Bryan and Steven
son.

The most lonely highlands Of o

The most lonely highlands of our
National territory are the sparsely
wooded Sierras of Western New Mex
leo. The clank of the wood cutters
ak echoes through the steepest glens
of the European Alps and Southern
Alleghanies, but in the Sierra Mesilla,
west of Ell Paso, there are valleys
where the moan of the wind in the
branches Of the rock pines is the only
sound heard for days together. A
kind of marmot is the only habitant
of these solitudes, and rarely leaves
its burrows before noon. Birds arc
extremely rare.

Some curious facts concerning trees
have been discovered. A single oak
of good size is said to lift 1913 tons c.
water during the months it is in leaf.
This moisture is evaporated and rises
to form rain clouds. From this esti-
mate of the labor of a single oak we
can gain some idea Of the immense
force which the forests exert in equ.l-
izing the evaporation and precipita.
ton and preventing periods of inun.
dation and drought.

Every horse in the English army is
numbered and has a little history
kept for it all to itself. The number
is branded upon the animals hind
feet-the thousands on the near hind
foot and the units, tens and hundreds
on the off hind foot. Thus the horse
whose number is, say, 1884, will have
an on his left hind foot and 354 on
the other one. On what is called a
Veterinary History Sheet" every
thing about the horse will from time
to time be written.
