FROM the senate this week the
suggestion was given voice
to cut down the length of the
session down to thirty FIVE days.
The members of both houses can
bank on the approval of theil'
constituents if they follow up this
lead. 1t would save the state a
handsome sum, but the horde of
clerks, and other third house
attaches would set up an awful
howl, so the session is likely to
run he full sixty days and every
body remain on easy street at SO
much per diem.

Remedy for Tan and Freckles.

At this season of the year when
people will be going to summer re-
sorts and sunburn, and freckles will
be in their glory, the recalling to mind
of an old-fashioned but excellent faca
wash will be appreciated. The wash
is made from elder flowers. To half
an ounce of the flowers add one quart
OF boiling Water. 1nfuse for an hour
and strain. A little applied to the
face or any portion of the body af
ter it has been exposed to the sun
will Immediately allay the heat and
smarting. 1t has the reputation Of
bleaching out freckles and beautify
ing the complexion. If it is to be kent
for some time q little brandy or alco-
hol-about tablespoonful-should be
added to the infusion after it is made.

CONCERTS PROTEST.
Was Made Under instructions From the State
Department.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Minister
Conger's action in protesting to the
Chinese government against the arbi-
trary cancellation of a railway fran
chise, granted to an American COM
pany, and its transfer to a French
corporation, was taken upon represen-
tations made to the state department
by the Americana China improvement
Company, which has franchise to
construct a railroad from Canton to
Hankow. It is understood that for
feiture of the claim was based on two
counts: First, that the road was not
completed within the stipulated per-
iod of time; and second, that the
American corporation had passed to
the Belgians.
The state department holds that the
conditions in China for the past year
and half have been such as to make
it impossible for the American COM
pany to have completed its work, and
that for this delay the Chinese gov
ernment itself is responsible. In the
second count the fact that the road
maintains its American charter
makes it incumbent upon our govern
ment, following its rule, to defend
the franchise.

ST. LOUIS WILL BE READY.
Three Big Buildings Acquired for the Worlds
Fair-No Delay In Work.

St. Louis, Nov. 22.--In the devel-
opment of the worlds fair there is
every indication that it will be ready
on time, Notwithstanding discussion
to the contrary during the last few
days. A long step forward has been
taken by the requirement of the
grounds and buildings of Washington
diversity for worlds fair purposes.
The administration building is almost
ready for occupancy, and the two
other large buildings to be used for
educational exhibits can be made
ready in a short time. Director of
Works Taylor and Engineer Mark
mann have also made an important
discovery, to the effect that no piling
nor blasting will be required for build
ing foundations. This fact will not
only save vast amount of money,
but many weeks of time. The con-
struction of buildings may proceed at
once upon the letting of contracts.
Throughout the worlds fair site
there is firm clay foundation that
will sustain the heaviest weights
without settling.

RAILROAD MEN STRIKE.
Order Made Affecting Switchmsn of Seven
Lines at Pittsbure.

Pittsburg, Nov. 27.-The switch
men on seven railroads of Pittsburg
have decided to strike at 6 O'Clock
tomorrow morning. At meeting
of the Brotherhood of Switchmen
tonight which was attended by about
600 members, this action was decided
upon, and the result of this meeting
can only be conjectured. In antici-
patton of possible trouble it is learned
that the Pennsylvania Railroad has
made an application to the city for
go officers to be on hand in the
Union station yards at 6 o'clock to-
morrow morning, and in the Balti-
more & Ohio yards fully 100 Pinker-
ton men are on duty tonight.
The claim made at the switchmens
meeting tonight was that 700 to ], 600
men would obey the strike order in
the morning. The estimate was
that in the Union station yards OF
/ the Pennsylvania Railroad 13S men
would go out; that the yards at Pit
cairn and Wall would go out in the
same proportion; that the Baltimore
& Ohio and the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie yards would go out solidly and
that the Monongahela, the Pittsburg,
Virginia & Charleston, the Sheen.
berger Terminal and the Pittsbure
and Western would be practically
without men. It was also said that
the Fort Wayne and Panhandle meI
would lend helping hand.
/ The demand of the men is that the
Chicago rate be paid here. This rate
is 27 cents per hour for day conduc
torssan 20 cents for night conductors
of switch engines; helpers, 25 cents
tday and 27 cents night. The Pitts
burg rate at present is 25 cents fov
day and 26 for night conductors; 1!
cents day and 20 cents night fol
helpers
/ Grand Master Hawley, of tn,
Switchmen's Union, is expected her,
tomorrow to conduct the strike.

PERIsHED AT SEA.
Philippine Steamer With 200 Passengers,
May Be Lost

Manila, Nov. 26.-The local steam
er Alerta, with 200 passengers, includ-
ing some discharged American SOL
diers, from Olongapo, Subig bay, to
Manila, is believed to have been lost.
Captain Edward P. Lawton's COM
pany of the Nineteenth infantry has
attacked and captured an insurgent
fort on Bohol island, south of Cebu,
in the Visayan group. This, fort was
surrounded on all sides by preci-
pice, and the only entrance to the
higher ground was guarded by stock
ade, with line of entrenchments be-
hind it. Captain Lawton sent Ser
geant Mcmahon and 20 men to climb
the precipice and attack the fort in
the rear. Sergeant McMahon's party
accomplished their task after three
hours climbing through the thick
undergrowth. They took the enemy
by surprise and drove them from the
fort. AS the insurgents escaped, they
had to pass the remainder of Captain
Lawton's company at distance of $50
yards. Here the enemy suffered ter
rible losses. The insurgents defended
themselves with both cannon and
rifles. The cannon were captured ;
the smaller ones were removed, while
the larger ones were buried. Captain
Lawton, in his report, makes special
mention of the bravery of sergeants
Mcmahon and List.
General Chaffee has ordered that in
the future complete records shall be
kept of all natives taking the oath OF
allegiance to the United States.
Duplicates CT these records will be
signed in English. Spanish and Tagal.

HAWAII AGAINST CHINESE.
Delegate Wilcox Asked to Work for Re-Enact.
ment of Exclusion Law.

Honolulu, Nov. 81, via San Fran
cisco, Nov. 28.-At meeting of the
Home Rule Republican party, as it is
now known, called to give farewell
reception to Delegate Wilcox, resolu-
tions were adopted asking him to
work for the removal of Governor
Dole and denouncing Secretary of
the Territory Cooper for having re-
commended at Washington that
Chinese immigration into Hawaii be
allowed. The resolutions against
Dole were based largely upon his re-
cent action in raising money for gov
ernment purposes by borrowing it,
under an understanding that the
next legislature would repay the
money. Dole took this course
rather than call an extra session of
the legislature, which the Home
Rulers wanted
The resolutions as adopted pledge
Home Rule candidates in the future
to repudiate any debts that the gov
ernor may contract in this way and
this action may interfere to an ex-
tent with the governors plans to get
the money. The Home Rulers al
lege that he is usurping the powers
of the legislature in thus raising
money and calling upon a future
legislature to appropriate it.
The party also instructed Delegate
Wilcox, who was elected as Home
Ruler, to work for the re-enactment
of the Chinese exclusion laws. The
anti Chinese resolution declares that
while so per cent of the Asiatics that
are in that country came here to be
plantation laborers, less than 35 per
cent of them are such now, and
that the rest are in competition with
whites and Hawaiians as arch ene-
mics and merchants.

HOT FIGHT WITH REBELS.
Lieutenant Had Hand.to.Hand Conflict With
Filipino Insurgents.

Manila, Nov. 28.-Second Lieuten-
ant Louis J. Van Setback, of the
Fourth infantry, while scouting with
a few men of that regiment. met $50
insurgents who had attacked and
sacked the hamlet of Siaraca. near
Gavite. Upon seeing the Filpinos,
Van Setback ordered his men to
charge them. The command was
obeyed, and Van Setback beng mount
ed, reached the insurgents go yards
in advance of his men. He killed
three of them with his revolver. An
insurgent fired his rife point blank
at Van Setback at four PAGES, but
missed. Lieutenant Van Setback
was then knocked from his horse.
He then jumped to his feet and
engaged in a and-to-hand conflict
with the enemy, using the butt of
his revolver. He sustained two
severe wounds, one of which nearly
severed his wrist. At this point the
lieutenant's men arrived, rescued
him, and put the insurgents to fight.
Van Setback is in the military hos
pital at Manila, and is doing well.
He has already been recommended
for medal of honor for bravery in a
previous engagement.
