Oswego, III.
One of r. Torry's tenant houses
came near being destroyed by hre
last week, volumes of smoke came
from the windows and were it not for
the timely arrival and heroic effort OF
Mr.. P. Mungen in securing assistance
to subdue the fire, the house would
surely have been destroyed and the
tenant left homeless. The fire started
in an unknown manner in mattress.
Beyond the loss of the mattress no
damage was done.
About one hundred persons attended
the social given by the Pleasant Pra1-
RE M. E. church at the home of Mr..
John Ped1ey on Friday evening. The
evening was pleasantly spent in songs,
music and games. One of the most
interesting games was the wink game
and to see one of the boys wink was
amusing, and it is feared some will in
the future always wear deformed faces.
At about ten o'clock an elegant supper
was served, after which all soon de-
parted for their respective homes.

REPULSED AN ATTACK.
Precaution Of Wearing Arms Even While Eating
Prevented Another Massacre.

Manila, Nov. ia force of insurgents
attacked the garrison at Abraie Hog
yesterday, but was routed by the Amer
leans who were at breakfast when the
attack was made.
The Filipinos left five dead.
One American was seriously wounded.
Gen. Smiths recent order that Amer
can soldiers should always have their
arms with them was responsible for the
speedy repulse of the rebels, and the
prevention of another Balionad massacre.
Mai. Pitcher, First Infantry, COM
handing the Mindoro expedition,
reports the attack.
He also says that he recently captured
almost an entire insurgent company, all
fully armed.
As the men killed in Yesterdays
attack were also well armed and fully
supplied with ammunition, it is believed
the Insurgents have recently received q
supply of the munitions of war.
Reports from Cathbalogan, Samar,
say the insurgents are suffering greatly
from famine, majority of them travel
ing northward.
Quite a number of Bolo-men have sur
rendered in twos and threes, and a
general submission of the insurgents,
now prevented by Lukban's threats to
kill those who surrender, is expected in
a few DAYS.

CASH FOR BREMERTON.
Admiral Bradford Urges Larger Appropra'
ton for the Puget Sound Yard.

Washington, Nov. 11.-No stronger
recommendations in favor of the Puget
Sound navy yard have ever been made
than those contained in the annual re-
port of Rear Admiral Bradford, chief Of
the bureau of equipment, made public
yesterday. He especially urges that an
Increased appropriation be made to con-
struct large equipment shop at the
yard, and that extensive facilities for
storing coal and coaling warships be pro.
vided. The former appropriation OF
$S5 900 for an equipment shop proved in
adequate, and no effort will be made to
construct the shop until congress talks
further action.
"The new building when completed"
says Admiral Bradford, twill not answer
for all the purposes for which it was
originally designed, as the space will very
soon become inadequate and still more
room is needed for other equipment
purposes, to bring the navy yard re-
sources up to the requirements in this
respect of well-equipped naval depot.
Appropriations have long been available
for construction of modern storage and
handling facilities for coal, but great
difficulty exists in finding suitable loca.
ton for the same on the already limited
water front. Surveys and examinations
of adjacent or nearby frontages have not
thus far served to Develop site that il
entirely satisfactory"

BOARD OF OFFICERS.
Long will Appoint One to Pass on Puget
Sound NAVY Yard Plans.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE navy de-
partment has decided to appoint board
of officers, including several engineers Of
ability, to visit Puget Sound navy yard
for the purpose of devising comprehen-
siye plan for the location of buildings,
docks and other accessories of the naval
establishment on Puget Sound. Some
time ago Capt. Burwell, commandant Of
the yard, submitted to the department
a plan arranged by himself and principal
officers at the navy yard for location Of
works in connection with the naval plant.
No action has been taken on this plan,
but the action which the department.
now contemplates is the outcome Of Capt.
Burwell's representations.
1t is recognized at the department that
the importance of the Puget Sound navy
yard has exceeded the expectations OF
the authorities at the time the site was
selected, and that some more compre-
hensive arrangement of the plant with
view to future needs is absolutely neces-
sary. Several bureau chiefs of the navy
department recognize that larger site
will be needed, and the board soon to be
appointed will be expected to examine
into the needs of extending the bounds
of the yard and to make recommends.
ton as to the direction and extent of the
enlargement.

PRESIDENT ELIOT AT SEATTLE.
Elaborate Preparations Being Made for his
Entertainment In March.

Seattle, Nov. l1.-Sometime in March
Seattle will have the pleasure OF enter
tanning Charles William Eliot, president
of Harvard University, and one OF the
foremost educators OF the world. Presi-
dent Eliot will start west about March
l, but as he will make various stops on
the way it is likely to be near the end OF
March before he reaches Seattle.
In letter to Mr.. Joseph Shipper,
who is chairman OF the Harvard commit
tee of Seattle, President Eliot says the
main purpose OF this visit is to meet the
people and study conditions.
ii know" says President Eliot, that
/ can give some pleasure to the Harvard
clubs and Harvard graduates whom l
meet, and can in so doing be OF some
service to the university; and l have
now SO long been interested in educa-
tional administration that l might be
able to offer some useful suggestions to
school teachers, superintendent and
college men. The changes which have
seen accomplished in schools and col
leges in the east are not without interest
to western teachers"
Mr.. Shipper has appointed a finance
committee, which will attend to that
portion of the preparation for entertain
ment. President Frank Pierrepont
Graves, of the University Of Washington
is on the committee, and is greatly
interested in the coming visit. While
here, Mr.. and Mrs. Eliot will be the
guests of the Harvard men, and it is
more than probable that the guest will
deliver several lectures to those inter
ested in educational matters.

FOR PACIFIC CABLE.
That Question and lsthmian Canal to Be
BROUGHT Forward EARLY.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Representative
Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the inter-
state and foreign commerce committee
of the house, and Representative Sher-
man OF New York, member OF the same
committee, had a long conference with
the President yesterday about the 18th.
mian canal and Pacific cable legislation.
As result of the consultation they
announced that it was their purpose to
press legislation ON both subjects at the
earliest possible moment. The canal
bill. which passed the house at the last
session, will be reintroduced in substar.
TALLY the form in which it was passed
last winter. No delay is anticipated in
the committee and Col. Hepburn told
the president that the bill undoubtedly
would have large majority in the house.
The cable bill will be identical with
the one reported from the committee
during the last congress. 1t provides for
the laying of the cable by a private cor
poration under contract with the post
master general, with the alternative pro-
vision for the building of the cable by the
government if no satisfactory contract
can be made. 1t is understood that the
president concurred in the proposed
prOgam.

and took lead in intimidating the train
crew and blowing up the express com.

was so vivid that he could describe the

WASHINGTON POsTOFFlCEs.
Annual Report Shows the State to be in Pros.
porous Condition.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Washington
ranks fourteenth among all the states
and territories in respect to the amount
of money paid by its inhabitants for
postage. The per capita expenditure
for postage is always regarded by officials
OF the postoffite department as . an index o,s;
gence Of the people. The per capita
amount spent by the people of Wash
ington for postage last year was $l.63,
total receipts at all postoffices in the
state being $844 1902.

year, the whole number now being forty
