NEW NAME FOR THEM.
to Call Our Far Eastern
Possessions the Mckinley Islands
Instead OF the Philippines.

Washington. Oct. IA suggestion
emanating from a high source, and
which is meeting with widespread IA
vor, is to change the name OF the
Philippine islands to the Mckinley
islands. The object is, Of course, to
perpetuate the name and glory Of
the martyred president and his adj
ministration. It is intended to bring
the proposition before the next con-
gress, and it is not doubted that It
VIII be accepted withou question If
presented in the proper manner. It
is pointed out that this proposed
change would link his name with the
government Of the country for all
time, and also would be a constant
and conspicuous reminder to future
genera lions throughout the world
that IL was in his ADM nistration that
the republic expanded its influence
TO the orient.

MET WITH DISASTER.
Company of American Troops in
Philippines Literally Wiped Out.
While at Breakfast 3 little Band of q was
Attacked By Overwhelming Numbers
and Terrible Slaughter Followed,
Only II Americans Escaping.

Manila, Oct. Cen. Hughes,
from the island of Samar, reports the
arrival Of Sergt. Markley and one
private at Tannan from the fight at
Balangiga, where over 40 of the 70
men of company c, Ninth infantry,
were killed by insurgents, who at
tackled the troops while at breakfast
Saturday last. The men who have
reached Tannan say that the officers
Of the company, who were at first
reported to have escaped, were killed
with the majority of the company.
The troops were attacked while IN
prepared by 400 bolomen, of whom
the Americans killed about 14O. Many
OF the soldiers were killed in their
quarters before they had time to
grasp their rifles. Gen. Hughes is go
ing to the scene Of the disaster and
viii personally command the troops.
A new branch OF the Katfpunan has
been discovered at Tarlac, capital Of
the province of that name. The OBJ
jeet of the society is the slaughter
Of the whites. MarceIino AIariville,
president Of Banoang, is the chief of
the new branch, which includes num-
bers OF the native constabulary, who
were recently armed. One policeman
admits that he was taxed 81 and was
ordered to make boIos. A regular col
lection has been made by the organ
ization from the natives, either by
persuasion or threats, and an uprising
had been planned for an early date.
The conditions in Tayabas and Ba-
tangas are not reassuring. The worst
form of guerrilla warfare prevails
there. The insurgent forces are dis
tributed, under cover, along every
road and trail, and wait for travellers
in ambush. The insurgent leader,
Caballos (whQ formerly belonged to
Gen. Cables Command, but who re-
fused to surrender with CaiIIes), is re-
treating to the mountains. The main
forces of the insurgents are scattered
in bands over the province, where
they dig up rifles and, when there is
an opportunity, use them.
War Department Not Surprised.
Washington, Oct. News of the
renewed activity on the part of the
insurgents has been expected at the
war department since the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley. The de-
tails of the shooting of President Nc
Kinley have not been received in the
Philippines. All that is known is that
he was killed by an anarchist. The
natural inference that the ignorant
natives would draw is, that the pres
ident being dead, the United States
would be bordering on a state of an
archy and revolution. This would en-
holden those who are still in the field
to greater activity.

AN AFFECT COWARD.
CzOlgOsz' Bravado Deserted Him at
the State Prison Doors.
While Being stripped he Cried ana
MOaned from TerrOr-Expressed
Sorrow for His Crime-senf
Message to HIS Father.

Auburn, II. Y, Sept. 2s.-CzOlgOsz,
President McKinley's murderer, in the
custody of Sheriff Caldwell, of Erie
county, and d deputies, arrived in
Auburn at 3:15 a. m. The prison is
only about so yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival Of the train
there was a crowd of about 200 PeO-
pie. Either for fear Of the crowd,
or OF the sight of the prison, Col
gOsz' nerves gave out and two dep
uty sheriffs were compelled to prac-
ticaIly carry the man into the prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse, and he was. dragged up the
stairs and into the main hall. He
was placed in a sitting posture on the
bench while the handouts were being
removed, but he fell over and mOaned
and grOaned, evincing the most abject
terror. AS soon as the handouts
wefe unlocked the man was dragged
into the principal keepers Office. As
in the case of all prisoners the Off
GERS Immediately proceeded to strip
him and put on a new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison CORR
doris echo with evidence Of his terror.
The prison physician, DR.. John Germ,
examined the man and ordered his re-
moYal to the cell in the condemned
row, which he viii occupy until he
is taken to the electric chair. The
doctor declared that the man was
suffering from fright and terror, but
said that he was shamming to some
extent.
The collapse of the murderer was a
surprise to every one. En- route from
Buffalo he showed no Indication of
breaking down. He ate heartily of
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked some and ex-
pressed regret for his crime. He said:
ST am especially sorry for Mrs. Nc
Kinley." He reiterated his former
statement that he had had no ac-
completes and declared that he never
had heard of the man under arrest
in ST. Louis, who claimed to have
tied the handkerchief over his hand,
concealing the pistol with which the
president was shot. He says the
handkerchief was not tied. He went
behind the Temple of Music, arranged
the handkerchief so as to hide the
weapon and then took his place in
the crowd. To Jailer Mitchell he
sent this message to his father
''TelI him I am sorry left such a
bad name"

goes with 1t. That is agood law
and common sense. There is much,
land i'll Montpelier that used to have
water rights, but the owners have
sold the right and the land, now has
no water The law allows man to
own water whether he has, land or
not. This is wrong.
Another proposition that must
eventually be taken up is that of
arteslan wells, or water pumped
from wells by machinery.
Another is the taking. over Of all
water by the state, and by it man
aged Oh the rotation plan for all
settlers. AS the law is now, the
prior owner can have all the water
he wants and to waste if he sees fit,
whian later settler must. suffer.
This is wrong from every standpoint
Of right and justice. AS an abstract
proposition, no man owns any water
by reason Of stream passing
through his land. He only has !.
prior right to it. If this isn't the
law it ought to be.
As the News has,stated something
must be done that will prove for
the best interests of all concerned.

Vi Interest to Pythia1s

Professor John w. Daniels. has
returned from The east, after an alb
sehce Of a couple Of weeks. He
went to attend a special meeting of
the grand lodge knights of Pythias,
called to investigate the condition
al the endowment rank branch of
the order.
Professor Daniels states that thew
found the entire matter a series of
crooked acts BY the president of the
Board Of control, John 4. Hinsey,
and the secretary, H.. 3. Stolte.
These men had previously been
Forced from the management Of the
endowment section.
The session was held IN the Lex
ngton hotel, Chicago. The iesigna-
lions Of the president and secretary
of the endowment rank were pre-
senttd carly IN the session.. they
stating their desire to be entirely
fsea from the directorate. The
designations we're accepted. Vhcn
a thorough investigation was had.
1t was found that nearly $500, eco
was tied up in such way that the
grand lodge could not centred it,
and III securities that would hardly
bring so per cent. President Hlnsey
was called before the meeting, but
ais explanations did not explain, =
as the professor puts it.
The grand lodge made q clean
. sweep of the officers of the endow-
mcnt rank. investing new men with
all authority. The supreme Lodge
assumed all liabilities, guaranteeing
the payment in full Of every out
standing certificate. The insurance
rate (the endowment rank is the in.
surance branch Of the order) was
raised from 40. to 70 per cent, 'te
conform to the demands of the in.
surance commissioners. Of Illinois
and Connecticut.
The endowment rank is in better
condition than ever" said Professor
Daniels !astevening. "Iti strong

Lightning suparstitlons

II Is well known that lightning plays
some truly remarkable tricks. aud the
recent thunderstorms In France have
called attention to the different ways
the French peasants have Of preserY.
ing themselves from Its disastrous OF.
fects. Some. like the ancient Romans
believe that skin confers immunity
from lightning, and II Is reported that
the peasants Of the Cevenues twist the
cast-off skins OF snakes round their
hats to preserve themselves from dan
ger. Some believe that silk will do
tine trick, and the idea that a garment
made OF silk exerts some influence
upon the matter Is rather borne out BY
a catastrophe which once occurred In
a church at Chateauneuf- les Mou ers,
when two out OF three priests who
were officiating at the altar were Sc
versly injured during a storm. while
the third. who was dressed in silkeu
garments, remained quite untouched
Some believe In sleeping on a pile oil
mattresses heaped In the center OF the
room: some retire into the cellar OF
their houses. and many farmers at this
commencement Of storm Immediately
proceed to put all their milk out Of
doors, knowing from experience thai
thunder turns milk sour.

many OF them had their sources of In
come cut of and these conditions led
to emigration on an extended scale.
In 1928 3.100 OF them came to this
country, settling in New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania and Carolina The Nc
Kinley family was represented in this
tide of emigration and settled in York
county, Pa. One of them, David, who
was the great-grandfather OF the late
President, fought in the revolutionary
war. Later he removed to Ohio and
here the father OF the late President
was born.
But the Mckinley homestead In Ire
land was not deserted and 1t continued
In the possession OF the family until a
comparatively recent period. In 1913
member of the family was shot for
his share in the rebellion of that time.
The execution place was the main
square in the town OF Coleraine.
The family homestead as It appears
to-day is plain one-story farmhouse,
with matched roof and whltewashed
walls. The interior furnishings are in
dicative OF the primitive lives still led
by the people In many parts Of Ireland
The open fireplace, with pots suspend

conditions.
