THE KIDNAPPERs' OFFER
To Return SCI, 900 to Mr.. Cudahy If
He Will Stop Proceedings

Omaha, Neb., April 3o.-An unknown
person, purporting to be agent of the
kidnappers, has made a proposition to
Edward a. Cudahy to return 81, 900
of h money paid for the ransom of
his son who vas abducted December
18th last. The offer demanded in return
a withdrawal Of the SIS, 900 reward and
a cessation of the search that is being
prosecuted, together with an abandon
ment of the determination to punish
the criminals.
This proposition came in a letter
from Elgin, Ill, and MI. Cudahy is
convinced of its authenticity. He went
to Chicago recently because of it, be-
ing summoned there by his bother, in
response to overtures that had been
made. Mr.. Cudahy has refused to con-
slider the proposition n declared his
determination to prosecute the search
to the end. Mr.. Cudahy says:
1T seems nat the writer got some
what in a hurry, for as soon as he
mailed the letter he went to Chicago
where he called on my brother, Michael,
the same day. Before I reached Chica-
go he had disappeared, leaving direc-
tions as to how he could be reached"
Mr.. Cudahy reiterated his determine
ton to prosecute the search to the end.

OUR CENTER OF POPULATION
Moved Less I'm Last Decade Than I'm
any one Previous

Washington. April 3o.-The census
bureau today issued a bulletin an
nouncing hat the center Of popula-
ton of the United States, excluding
Alaska and recent territorial acces-
sions. on june LIST, last. was six miles
southeast of Columbus, Bartholomew
county. in southern Indiana. 1t is de-
scribed as latitude 80 degrees, 9 min
utes. SO seconds. and longitude IS de-
grees, As minutes. 81 seconds.
In ten a the center Of popuIa &.
ton has moved westward fourteen
miles and southwark two and one-
half miles. This is the smallest move
ment ever noted by the census bu-
reau. 1t shows the population Of the
western states a not increased as
rapidly as in the former decades. The
southwark movement is due largely
to the great increase in the popula-
ton Of Indian territory, Oklahoma
and Texas. and the decreased move
ment to the large increase in h pop
ulation Of the north Atlantic states.

COLLAPSE OF ORGANIZED REBELLION
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
SOME IMPORTANT SURRENDERS
Leading Commanders, with Their Men
and Arms, Give in to the Americans.
Genera Tipio Surrenders, Thus
Putting an End TO Hosrilities fin what
has Been the Worst Section of Luzon.
Cables, the Head Hunter, nov the
Only Important Filipino at Large.

Washington, April 30.-Three impor-
tant cablegrams were received today
at the war department from General
Macarthur, at Manila. In the opinion
of the officials the news contained in
the cablegrams mark the almos COM
plete collapse of organized rebellion in
the Philippines. The cablegrams are
as follows:
General Tinio surrendered with his
command today at Sinait. He will de-
liver all the men and guns in his COM
mand as soon as they can be gathered
together. This completely pacifies the
First department of Northern LuZon,
for many months the worst in Luzon".
"Colonels Ciprano Callao and Greg
orio Katibac, Malvars' best officers,
surrendered to Colonel Jacob Kline at
Lipa in April 18th with % officers, 1OS
men n Sc rifles"
Juan and Bias Villamor, leaders ia
Abra, surrendered at Bangued on April.
9th. They are now engaged in as
sembling scattered commands and de-
livering arms. Aglipa. an ex-priest,
IedueT III llOCOS NOTIc province, LuZOI,
surrendered at Laoag, April 2Sth."
Tinio is said here to have been with
Alejandrino, n of highest officers in
the insurrectionary force. He was in
command in northern LuZon during the
famous chase after Commander Gill
more.
Malvars, whose colonels surrendered
to Kline, also was one of the best
known Filipino eaders. He was Law
toms most formidable foe and COM
manded the instructors at the fight at
-Zapote river, the most serious battle
fought in the Philippines. He has con-
fined his operations to southern Luzon,
which never has beer completely sub
jugated, n Lipa, where the surrender
occurred has long been one of the prin-
cipai insurgent arsenals.
1t is said at the war department by
officers recently back from the Philip
pines that there now remains in the
field in LUXOR only one chief whom they
are particularly DESTROYS of catching,
namely Cables, the head-hunter. This
man has violated every rule of war
fare and it is not expected that he will
be taken alive.
Manila, April 30.-The report that
General A~lejandrino has surrendered
is confirmed. He was looked upon as
the possible successor of Aguinaldo
Padre Aglipa, the ex-communicated
Filipino priest, who preached the doc
trine of a holy war against the Unit
ed States, also surrendered.
Aguinaldo, relatives of General Emilio
Aguinaldo, and five other insurgeni
leaders have surrendered.
Fifteen Filipino officers have Surren-
dered to Colonel Baldwin, of the Fourth
infantry, at Cavite Viejo.

Improved Long Distance ,Phone

We have wondered of late what had
become Of our old CD friend D. Mac
lauchlin Therrell formerly of Char
lesion, and who by the way married
Miss Marie Gates, of Wilmington. We
had him in mind a week or so ago and
we were thinking whether he were
upon this mundane sphere and if he
were why he had not sprung something
new. We did not think he would be in
hiding long, and sure enough we ran
across his picture in the Atlanta News
of April 9th, and accompanying it was
a long account OF a invention of his or
rather a discovery this he has made.
Here is part Of what the Journal says:
ITO hear distinctly over a telephone
$500 mileS-not an indistinct metallic
mutter, but the clear, round, musical
human voice; his is what the discov-
cry of d. Maclauchlin Therrell, of At
lanta, will do and has done for the
Ions distance telephone
The peresnt practical limit for long
distance conversation is about 1.500
miles. Mr.. Therrelrs discovery, there
fore, adds 1000 miles to the capacity
Of the telephone and also carries all
the real tones of the human voice
Mr.. Therrell is at present the wire
chief in charge Of the toll line depart
ment of the Southern Bell Telegraph
and Telephone Company. He came to
Atlant in 1896 from Charleston, where
he had been connected with the Postal
Telegraph Company.
He is yet a young man, barely thirty
W. years Of age. For the past ter
a he has e experimenting in diff
ferent directions, until at last he has
constructed an experimental apparatus
which bids fair to make him a wealthy
man and also vastly improve the Use
fulness Of the long distance telephone"
When Mr.. Therrell was asked to e
plain what his invention was to do he
gave the News an interesting story
He then went on to tell OF the practi-
cal tests he has made. One circuit was
as follows.

miles. The New York wire chief said
b transmission was perfect. and far
better than by direct line from Atlanta.
Another circuit OF 2.6oo miles was
tried with equal results
Mr.. TherreIl expects to have his ap-
q in such shape that IL can be
generally applied shortly. From rec
ords at the patent Office. he has dis
covered that IL is absolutely unique
and Dir. Therrell himself prefers to call
1t a discovery rather than an inven-
ton"
