FILIPINO Is A
TREACHEROUSFOE
Poses as a Friend to Betray the
Americans.
MUCH WORSE THAN INDIANS
NECESSARY THAT NATIVES BE
HARSHLY DEALT WITH.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Captain s. S.
O'COnnor, a former captain in the
Ninth regiment of the national guard,
who has just returned from the Phil
ippines, where he did service as a cap
tain in the Forty-sixth volunteer in
fantry. said in an interview upon the
subject of the massacre of the Ninth
United States infantry on the island of
Samar:
The American people can form no
idea OF the treachery Of the natives.
They have been hkened TO the Ameri-
can Indian, but the comparison does
not do justice to their capacity for be-
trayal- Such a body of fighters rs the
Ninth infantry never would have been
caught in such a trap by the Indians.
The Indian never has learned to play
the friend like the Filipino. A soldier
IN the western plains would be on his
guard always against the redskins but
they cannot dissemble. They may am
bush you and rush you at night, but
they don't know how to play the amigo
trick as did the Filipinos.

SOCIETY IS ALARMED.
Fears Expressed That There Will Be
No Coronation.

London, Oct. 2S.-The persistency
with which society discusses the ru-
mcrs regarding the health of King Ed
ward has had a serious effect on the
court dressmakers, who expected ere
now to have been busily engaged on the
coronation robes, etc. They are keep
ing large stats in almost complete
idleness. The members of society have
they will not go TO any expense until
they feel sure that the coronation will
really occur.
There is a very clearly defined i'm
preston in the diplomatic corps that
the king is threatened with some or
ganic complaint. Some go so far as to
say it is cancer, or Bright's disease, or
both. Probably the truer solution is
that the cancer rUmOr springs from
the kings Oft-eXpressed dread of can
Ger, which has made such ravages in
his own family, and that whatever all
ment may threaten him, it has not
reached any definite or dangerous
stage, else he would be quite unable to
keep his incessant round of public du-
ties and private pastimes with the
regularity and Zest Which he continues
TO display.
In spite of these facts there is IN
dOubtedly a very alarming premonition
in court circles, especially among the
women. that the king viii never live
to be crowned, which. however baseIess
or otherwise. is having a serious effect
on trade. The favorite story in this
connection now current is that a palm
list told Queen Alexandra not long ago
that she would never live to be
crowned

IMPORTANT DECISION IN
INSURANCE CASE

Washington, Oct. 2S.-OnIy one decision
was rendered in the United States su-
preme court today. Tt was the case of
Fred a McMasuers. administrator of T.
q McMasters. formerly a resident OF the
state of Iowa. The case involved the
questions as to whether an insurance
policy goes into effect on the date OF the
application for it, or when the policy is
delivered.
In this instance the applicat ton was
made on Dec. r. 1898. and the policy
was delivered Dec. %, 1898, when the pre-
MUM was paid. Provision was made for
grace of a month in the matter OF the
payment of the second policy.
McMasters died Jan. IS, 1885, six days
after the expiration of the month of
grace, if it was to be computed from Dec
y. or eight days before its expiration.

How Colonel Mazouma Gold

MANS SMOOTH WORK.

This text was discussed in two rat
Ting speeches last evening at a mass
meeting in Plymouth church. Judge
o. w. Powers told tales out of school
on his law partner, Colonel Mazouma"
Lippman, exposing the bunco game by
which the wheelmen's ban had been
lifted by the committee from Mavor
Thompson while joshua Sully charged
that purchase and patronage had in
f1uenced three of the members of the
committee to vote as they did. he de-
clared that the lay members of the
wheelmen's organization could not be
sold out, and that they would make
their influence felt for Leary at the
polls. All this was after ]. g. Leary
had aroused enthusiasm by an earnest
speech, and Norris Sommer had
made one of his characteristic talks
Judge Powers reviewed the struggles
of the wheelmen for recognition, and
their rebuffS by the Republican party
until the Ezraites began to be alarmed
over the Leary sentiment among the
bicyclists. He read the 'ironclad''
pledge signed by the Republican can
didates at the instance of Lippman,
and then warned everybody against
the smooth work of that individual.
Then he explained.
Could Not Collect Tax.
81 would like to have some lawyer
tell me-" he said, how the city can
compel the wheelmen to pay a license.
That's the cat in the bag. The city
has no more right to collect a tax for
bicycles than it has for horses and
wagons. If the police were to meet the
bicyclists as they were entering the
city and endeavor to collect a tax from
them they would soon find this out, be-
cause there would be an appeal to the
courts. The pledge made by the
wheelmen is contingent on the cOIlec-
ton of this tax on the wheels. If the
Republicans were elected-which they
won't be-they would consult a lawyer
and find out that this tax cannot be
collected, as it is unlawful. Then they
will say: We are sorry, gentlemen
