Strange Story From Canton.

Canton, Ohio, Sept. ga strange
story comes from West Lawn Cemetery
tonight, where a company Of regulars
from Fort Wayne, Michigan. are guard
ing the vault in which the body of the
late President William Mckinley lies.
It is to the effect that the guard on
duty on top of the vault fired a shot
at one man who refused to heed MS
challenge, that the shot was diverted
bv another man, who appeared from
another direction, and that an effort
was made to stab the guard. Military
regulations prevent either the officers
or the men Of the post from being
quoted on any matter connected with
their services, and for this reason
Capt. Biddle, who is in command, was
obliged to decline to be quoted at the
camp tonight. He will make full
report to his superiors at once.
Reliable authorities made the fol-
lowing statement:
Private Deprend was on guard duty
on top of the vault at point com
manding the entrance below and the
approach from the rear. Shortly be-
fore 7.30 he saw what he took to be
the face Of a man peering from behind
tree about forty feet from his, post.
He watched it for twenty minutes be
SAYS, and at 7.45 saw the man hurry
TO a tree ten feet nearer. He chal-
lenged the man to halt, but this was
not needed and the fellow approached
nearer. Deprend levelled his gun and
aimed to shoot for effect, but just at
this instant another man, who came
towards him from the opposite side,
caught the gun, threw it up and the
bullet was spent in the air. This same
man struck Deprend on the right side
of the abdomen with knife or other
sharp weapon, cutting an e cash IN
his overcoat an inch and half long
each way and a small one IN his
blouse. The flesh was not broken, but
was bruised under the cuts IN the
clothing. Deprend in the struggle
fell and rolled down the side OF the
vault. Lieut.. Ashbridge, officer OF
the day, was in front Of the vault and
rushed to the top on hearing the shot,
but the men made good their escape.
All members of the company on hear
ing the shot hurried to the vault and,
besides searching the cemetery, the
guard was Increased.
sDeprend is recruit enlisted in
New York about four months ago. He
is said to be an excellent soldier and
to have fine record with his officers.
He SAYS the man who attacked him
was masked, but that the first one he
saw was not masked. He says the lat
ter carried white package in his
right hand and something glittered IN
his left. Since the incident stories
have been told in camp Of some lncen-
diary conversations overheard IN the
crowds that have visited the cemetery,
including one today alleging that some
ssLofs of people would like to see this
whole thing blown up
There are seventy soldiers at the
cemetery, twenty of whom are con
stantly On guard duty about the vault
and camp.

SECRETARY GAGE ON The SURPLUS.
Treasury's Chief Calls Attention
to Decrease of Expenditures.

Chicago, Sept. Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, who is staying few
days at the home of his son IN Evans,
ton before going to Colorado to spend
his vacation, said in regard to the
large surplus in the treasury at pres
ent:
ssThe prosperous condition of the
country must be most gratifying. The
decrease in the expenditures Of the
government, however, is salient fac
Tor in the increase in the surplus IN
the last three months. From June 80,
1901, to September 26, the revenue
amounted to Sl36, 600, 900. The expen-
ditures during this time were SILL
600, 900. This left an excess OF nearly
Sl5, OOQ 900. During the same period
IN 1900 the receipts were Sl39, coo, 600
and the expenditures the same. OF
course, the fact must be taken into
consideration that the revenue Tor the
last three months was under the lower
ed schedule, so that the Sl36. 0OO,eO0
receipts this year represents a larger
amount of business transacted than
during the same time last year, when
the sl3a, 600, 600 was received.
ssIt was estimated that when the
present revised revenue law was put IN
force on July /, that the revenue re-
ceipts from all sources would fall OF
some $40, co., 0o0 by reason of the re-
ductions made. IF that had been real
ized the receipts since that time would
have 81, 500, 900 less, or s126, 800, GOO.
Notwithstanding the reduction in tax
es, the receipts have diminished by
less than $1,000, 900 from what they
were a year ago, while the expendi-
tures have decreased by over sl7, Co.,
900 for the same period.
Sup to the present, however, the ac=
cumulation Of money in the treasury,
which would be the natural effect at
this time, has been more than over
come by the purchases of bonds IN the
open market by the government. Dur
ing the last three months there have
been bought bonds having face value
of S19, 500, 600, for which over s24, co.,
eco, was paid. The actual cash IN the
treasury has thus been reduced, and
the present excess of revenues over ex-
penditures taken care OF for the time
being

he continued, Il used to know Mr..
Roosevelt very well, long before he had
political aspirations, and in those days
there were many humorous stories told
of him. One of these, the best l
think, was poker story.
"It seems according to this that Mr..
Roosevelt INDUCED occasionally in the
fascinating game of poker. I don't
vouch for this. It seems he was sit
ting in gentleman's game out West.
There were five men at the table,
among them one man who had only
one eye. After playing a short while
Mr.. Roosevelt noticed something queer
about the playing of the one-eyed
stranger. It resembled cheating. He
controlled himself for short while to
be absolutely certain of what he sus-
pected, then his ire rose rapidly.
s Gentlemen. he said, as he rose
from the table, dislike very much to
accuse any one at this table of cheat

cutive council of the National Fedora
ton of TEXTILE Operatives met in this

of the local council on the wage ques-
ton. It was unanimously voted to
endorse any action taken by the local
council in the matter. It was voted to
levy an assessment on all the local
unions in the Federation, to be applied
to the aid of the local union in its
coming fight with the manufacturers.
It was also voted to leave the matter OF
strike entirely in the hands Of the
local council.
Representatives of the operatives
declare that strike is inevitable IN

A Daniel Come to Judgment.

If it is true that Judge 0. W.
Buchanan will not offer for reelection
as judge of the judicial circuit over
which he presides at present, the law
yers and interested citizens should
see to it that another candidate is in
the field, in addition to those already
mentioned. For, with all due respect
to the gentlemen announced as candl-
dates, we do not think either OF them is
well qualified for the position of Judge.
There is good lawyer in thas circuit
who would make good Judge, but we
doubt if he could be induced to run.
This man is Joseph F. Rhame, of Man
ming. He is a thorough lawyer, a
christian gentleman, and would certain
ly grace the bench of South Carolina.

THE War IN PHILIPPINES.
The Process of Benevolent AS
similation a Tough Proposition.

Manila, Sept. so.-Gen. Hughes,
from the Island of Samar, reports the
arrival of Sergeant Markley and one
private at Tannan (?l from the fight at
Balangiga, where over 40 men OF Com
pany C, Ninth infantry, were killed
by insurgents, who attacked the troops
while at breakfast Saturday. 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 com
pany. The troops were attacked, while
unprepared,s by 400 Bolomen, of whom
the Americans killed about lao. Many
of the soldiers were killed in their
Quarters before they had time to grasp
their rifles.
Gen. Hughes is going to the scene
of the disaster and will personally
command the troops.
A new branch of the Katipunan has
been discovered at Tarlac, capital of
the province of that name. The object
of the society is the slaughter OF the
whites. Marcelino Mariville, presi-
dent of Banoang, is the chief of the
new branch, which includes numbers
of the native constabulary, who were
recently armed. One policeman ad-
mits that he was taxed dollar and
was ordered to make bolos. A regu-
lar collection has been made by the or
ganization from the natives, either by
persuasion or threats, and an uprising
had been planned for an early date.
The conditions in Tayants (Taya-
bas?) and Batangas are not reassur-
ing. The worst form of guerilla war.
fare prevails there. The insurgent
forces are distributed, under cover,
along every road and trail, and wait
for travellers in ambush. The insur-
gent leader, Caballos, who formerly
belonged to Gen. Cailles' command,
but who refused to surrender with
Cailles, is retreating to the mountains.
The main forces of the insurgents are
scattered in bands over the province,
where they dig up rifles when there is
an opportunity to use them.
