Surprised the Troops.

In the island of Samar, on Satur- day, company c of the 9th infantry, seventy-two strong, were attacked while breakfasting by large force of insurgents. Only twenty-four, in cluding the company officers escaped, eleven of whom were wounded. The others are supposed to have been killed.
 General Hughes, from the island of Samar, reports the arrival of Ser geant Markley and one private from the fight at Balangiga, where forty men of company c, Ninth infantry were killed by insurgents, who at tackled the troops while at breakfast on Saturday last. The men say that the officers of the company, who at first were reported escaped, were killed, with a majority of the com pany. The troops were attacked while unprepared by 400 men, of whom the Americans killed about 40 Many of the soldiers were killed in their quarters before they had time to grasp their rifles.
 General Hughes is going to the scene of the disaster and will person ally command the troops.
 A new branch of the Katipuman has been discovered at Tarlac, capi- tai of the province of that name. The object of the society is to slaughter whites. Marcelino Mariville, presi- dent of Banoang, is chief of the new branch, which includes numbers of the native constabulary recently armed. One policeman admits that he was taxed dollar and ordered to make bolos. A regular collection has been made by the organization from the natives either by persuation or by threats, and an uprising has been planned for an early date.

If, dur ing the probation period they should be guilty of felony, or violate any state or United States law, they shall be immediately expelled from this country and be returned at the ex- pense of the United States. Such law should embrace and particularize what would directly constitute such crime to justify such action.
 A further law should at the same time be enacted that should it be clearly proved that there are any class or persons connected in any way whatever with the present calamity, that demand shonld be made i'm mediately upon the government of the country from which he, she or they came for a ship of war to be at once sent for, and the entire mass of anar- chists, nihilists or any one belonging to such order be returned to the au- thorities of their native country.

 Every one has been mortified by the news that your president, a man of such high character in every rela- tion of life, so universally respected and beloved, should have been mark ed down as victim of this atrocious anarchistic system.

HELD FOR A RANSOM.
4 Beautiful Boston Lady in the Hands
 of Bulgarian Brigands in Turkey, Who Threaten Her Life.

A telegram of October 1 from Paris says that Paris newspaper core spondent sends word to the Figaro, on the staff of which he is employed, that he has returned from visit to Miss Ellen NJ. Stone of the American board of foreign missions, who is be- ing held by brigands in mountain ous region of Turkey.
 The correspondent wires that he succeeded in locating Miss Stone in an almost inaccessible mountain de- file. The chief of the outlaws per mitted the correspondent to see Miss Stone and talked with her. She told her visitor that she had been treated with exceeding courtesy ever since her capture. Two brigands were de- tailed to act as her personal servants, providing her with good food and showing her every consideration. The brigands had instructions to obey her merest whim, and to show with what degree of consideration she was treat ed, she told the newspaper man that, having exhausted the films of her kohak she had said that she wished she had more. The desire was re- ported to the chief of the brigands, who at once posted a courier off to Constantinople to secure a supply for her. This meant a week of steady travelling by mule over dangerous and rock mountains.
 The leader of the brigands told the correspondent that unless a ransom of Sl50,000 was forthcoming within thirty days Miss Stone would either be put to death or compelled to marry one of the bandits. It is believed that the bandit will keep his word.
 The situation recalls the capture by these same brigands in the same re- zion six years ago, of Mime. Gerard | de Trincville a beautiful French heiress, who is now a Carmelite nun. Through the dishonesty of Turkish official by whom the ransom was negotiated, the money failed to reach the bandits. The lovely French girl was therefore forced to become the wife of a member of the outlaw gang. She was rescued seven months later in a battle in which her father killed her bandit husband.

How Goehalism IhriVes.

A special interest is felt in Goebe- lism by the people of Kentucky and Missouri. The Nesbit law in this state is an imitation of the GOebel law, its direct offspring. Under the Goebel law several elections have been stolen in Kentucky and the officers rightly elected bounded from the state. Under the Nesbit law two elections have been stolen in St. Louis and by such enormous frauds that the state also will be robbed by its application. A party resorting to such an infamy is not likely to re- trace its steps. Goebelism, the sys
 tenn of elections that ''leaves nothing to chance" is still rampant in Ken lucky. Mir. Woodson, the Kentucky member of the democratic national committee and a close associate of Goebel, has just laid out the follow ing program for his party: Ken lucky should be so gerrymandered by the next legislature that there will not be even a remote idea of the re- publican party controlling the next legislature or anything else" GOebe- lism cheats the majority and then wipes it out altogether by final leg islative gerrymander. The program is so large that it may miscarTy.
 Missouri is a follower of Kentucky in Goebellsm, but when it comes to gerrymanders it is Missouri against the world. The democrats cast 5l per cent of the total vote of this state, but by a gerrymander they have seized fifteen of the sixteen seats in congress. In St. Louis the republi cans have been hived in one enormous district made up of precinct scraps and a meandering belt completely en- veloping two other districts. State officials in Missouri put their heads together and gerrymandered the state senatorial districts so that republi- cans have but seven in thirty-four. Kentucky can learn all about gerry from Missouri, just as Missouri imbibed Goebelism from Kentucky. Democratic Committee man Woodson of Kentucky says the people of that state ''have no time to be fooling with the republicans Just eliminate them absolutely, says Mir. WoOdson, champion of the peo- ple," composed entirely, in his Opin- ion, of Goebel democrats. The ring in Missouri will rejoice in WoOdson. Missouri Bourbons will hail the idea that there shall be no more republi- cans.-GlObe-DemOcrat.

TO KEEP OUT ANARCHISTS,
Suggestions Offered for a New Re-
 striction of Immigration.

Our hospitablc country, welcom- ing, as it has done, to our shores the poor outcasts and scum of the countries across the sea, to make this their home, is at this moment bowed down with grief by the most atrocious of crimes, committed by one of the above class. The nations great and grand executive was shot down in cold blood, and passed to his long home at an early hour this morning. His last words Gods will, not ours. His will be done"-were said to the heart stricken wife. May she have strength to bear the sorrow, and may the nation rise to the occasion in all its majesty and might.
 Immediately upon the assembling of the congress on the first Monday in December next, after the announce ment is made of the nations loss, bill should at once be introduced in both halls of legislation, and to he at once passed and signed by President Theodore Roosevelt, embracing the following salient points:
 Be 1t enacted, etc, etc, that all emigrants coming to this country, be- fore leaving their native land or place they may be residing at, shall be en- dorsed by United States represent ative, either United States minister or consul, to the effect that they are capable of sustaining themselves, and to become, if they so will, law abiding citizens of the United States; and upon their arrival in this. free land of our, to present such endorsement to the commissioner of immigration, who shall be authorized to ask them under oath if it is their intention to become residents of the United States; and if so to administer to them the oath of allegiance and issue pass port to them.

There can be no doubt that the re- sponsibility of great wealth is more acutely felt in this country than ever before. Larger gifts are made in a larger way, as fortunes in crease in size and number. And we are glad to think that it is not pres sure from without so much as humane impulse from within which stimulates to generosity. Wealth sees poverty and need and stunted lives and un- relieved misery about it, and yearns to be a rescuer, creator of CpPortU- nifty, and by voluntary distribution to undo excess.
