1t is difficult to conceive of a more
diabolical act than the shooting Of
President Mckinley. According to
the reported confession of the would
be assassin he is an anarchist, and his
shot was not at William Mckinley
personally but at the President Of
this republic. He was melted to the
deed by innammatory utterances of
one opposed to all governments. As
long as leading journals continue to
publish cartoons exposing those high
in authority to ridicule, and people
are taught it is no harm to speak evil
of Dignities, we may expect good
crop of anarchists. "Be not deceived;

Filipino Cruelty.

The latest Philippine mail brought the
records OF the proceedings I'm number
of cases disposed of by military commits
sions i'm the islands The accused were
all natives. and the charges for the most
part were murder. robbery and arson.
Some OF the cases are especially inter-
esting because Of the unsual measure or
cruelty attached to- the crimes. and 9TH
ers because of the comments which Gen.
Macarthur, the reviewing authority,
made upon the finding of the commis-
sions. In two cases where murder was
the charge and sentence of sssith I'M
posed Gen. Macarthur disapproved the
finaings of the commissions and ordered
the prisoners set at liberty.
In one case "A native was robbed Tor
chilly carried away from his home. bound
with rope and thrown to his death into

swer for his death. and the military COM
but sentenced the other To be hanged. In
reviewing this case Gen. Macarthur
pointed out the facts alleged against each
OF the accused were Identical and, fnd-
ing no adequate reason why the convict
ed native should not be acquitted also, set
him at liberty.
Eualio Fernandez was charged with
knitting another native and the commits
sion sentenced him To death. In this
case Gen. Macarthur found that facts
necessary to make out a felOnious killing
were not available. and that the evidence
IN favor OF iustitiable homicide was con-
sistent With the probabilities Of innoe

GENERAL SITUATION

The storm centres OF the general strike
of machinists throughout the country to-
day are In the vicinity of Cincinnati and
on the Pacific coast. The number OF Arms
that have signed agreements was aug
mented today by about a hundred which
brings the aggregate 10 one thusand In
round numbers during the past three or
four days.
I'm only one or two instances have the
allied trades been affected IT Is claimed
at general headquarters, however, that
where agreements are not effected by to-
morrow many OF the men In the allied
trades will join the striking machnlsts.
President O'conner of the National As
sociation OF Machinists this morning said:
..The reports from all sections are very
favorable The indications are that the
great majority OF the firms will have
reached agreements with the men today
or tomorrow. Dispatches from various
cities show that the additions made last
night and this morning 10 the list or
strikers and the number that returned 10
work this morning with their demands
granted will about balance each other.
Today's reports show that only three
railroads IN the United States are now
affected By the strike, namely the Central
Vermont Lehieh Valley and Delaware,
I.ackawanna and Western. The situation
is summarized as follows:
Practically all the trouble between Kan
sas City and the Pacific coast has been
adjusted. Al Kansas city about 600 men
are out. San Francisco reports almost
complete tie up. About 5000 men have
struck. Agreements have been reached
there, however. with ewen firms outside
Of the Union and Dresden plants and the
Fulton Ship company. At Seattle 200 men
have struck. There are 500 strikers at
Tacoma, Wash. The trouble has been ad-
justed at most OF the other Pacific coast
