ARE VENCEFUL
NUMEROUS KILLINGS OF FRIENDLY
PEOPLE REPORTED
Persons Supposed to Favor Ameri-
cen Rule Are Ambushed and
Murdered by Native
Outlaws.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-Many Fill
pinos who accept service under American
rule are visited with awful vengeance
by their fellow countrymen. The rec
ords of a case have been received by the
war department in which three native
policemen, who had been sent from Laeag
to San Nicholas, Ilocos Norte, for duty
at the latter point, were seized and
bound by an armed band of Filipino
outlaws, taken before a priest to he
confessed, and then flung alive into a
well after being hacked with bolos.
Their assailants then filled up the well
with loose earth. One of the band, Wen
ceslao Rosales. who was brSlght to trial,
was sentenced to be hanged.
Another native policeman met his death
at the hands of an outlaw band in the
barrio of San Antonio, Laguna province.
His body was found in a neighboring
river, weighted with heavy rock and
showing wounds through his heart and
in his neck. Two of the members of the
outlaw band who were captured were
sentenced by the military commission 70
be hanged.
Another outlaw band seized a native
man and woman, for no apparent motive,
and killed them by striking them with
clubs on the back of their necks

BIG DAMAGES ASKED
SUIT WITH SENSATIONAL FEA.
TURES AGAINST WELLING-
TON r.. BURT
SHARP PRACTICE IS CHARGED
Papers Filed by New York Stock
holder Alleged Encouragement
by Burt While Acting
as Receiver.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 28-This afternoon
suit was filed by Austin B. Fletcher, of
New York, on behalf of the creditors
and stockholders Of the Ann Arbor rail-
road against Wellington R. Burt, presi-
dent of the road, asking judgment for
$5,OO0000.
The petition AYERS that Burt, as re-
ceiver of the road, mismanaged the prop
erty, concealing, the amounts of money
that he paid for improvements with the
intention of depreciating the price Of
the property in the market in order that
he and his associates might buy in the
same at a low price.
In consequence of his representations,
it is claimed, Burt and his associates
bought it in for $2,227,00O. They imme-
diately issued 100000 of bonds against
it and $7,250,000 of stock. 1t is claimed
that this S14,25 GOO is in fact something
like the true value of the property which
was well known to Burt and his asso-
ciates.
Plaintiff seeks to recover on his own
behalf and on behalf of all the creditors
and stockholders the amount Of their
damage by the sale of the property.

WHERE MONEY GOES is RADIANTLY HAPPY
SECRETARY LONG ANALYZEs THE
CLAIM THAT THE NAVY IS
TOO COSTLY s4s !
LABOR GETS MOST OF THE COIN
Taxation Should Be Reduced When
Possible, but Uncle Sam Has n
Big Income to Spend as He
Thinks Rest.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Dec. 2S.-The
battleship Missouri was launched at the
ship yard here today at HIP o'clock.
Fully 1890 people, it is estimated, saw
the big defender go into the water. The
launching passed off without a hitch,
and none prettier or more successful was
ever accomplished here. Miss Marion
Cockrell, daughter of Senator f. M.
CockrelI, of Missouri, was sponsor for the
ship, and she performed the duty as
signed her with the traditional bottle of
champagne, using bottle of Missouri
product for the purpose
At the banquet which followed Senator
Cockrell thanked Secretary Long for CIV
ing so appropriate a namesto a battle
ship, and thanked Mr.. circuit for the
great vessel his yard is turning out.
After Gov. Tyler, of, Virginia, had
spoken, Secretary Long responded to the
toast, 1.-The Navy He said in part:
1.-THE size of the navy, if there is to be
a navy at all, is question like the
tariff-of adjustment rather than Of prin-
ciple. OF course, it is rather taking
thing to say. as matter of theory, that
s1O1, 0O0, 600 for the navy means a tax of
Sc on every family in the United States.
Much Goes to Labor.
"And yet, on the other hand, as a mat
ter of spraetica fact, if that sum is
spent there probably is not a family in
the United States whose future
income could be shown to be
Sc less, and there are a good many fam
lilies whose income would be many times
Sc less if it were not spent. 1t is also
rather taking thing to say that $780,
100000 could be better spent for education
or charity. And yet, on the other hand,
$1N0, 1000. 600 spent in the employment of
labor is the very best use to which it
can be put.
1.-THE great question Of the day, as to
wealth, is it's distribution. While few
would say that the community should be
taxed for the sole purpose of distributing
the proceeds of taxation, yet it is some
comfort to know of tax which, when
it is laid on the community, all returns
again to it. If 100000, 900 shall be appro-
priated for the navy by the present con-
gress, small part will go for the pur-
chase of raw material and something for
salaries, but the great bulk of 1t for
labor in every part of the Union.
Somehow it just now happens that
with larger revenues than we ever have
had before in time of peace, and Their
fore with more direct and indirect taxa
ton, there is more prosperity and more
money in the pocket of the citizen than
ever before. Students may speculate
over economic causes, but this is the
'demnition total
Undoubtedly Uncle Sam ought to re-
duce taxation wherever he can On the
other hand, it is shrewd and wise in him
TO run things so as to keep business good;
and if, as a result, his income is large.
he confers much more benefit by spend
ing than he would by boarding it,.

BURLINGTON OFFICIALS MELT.
Discuss Policy to BE Followed in
Regard to TRAVELLING, Agents


CHICAGO, Dec. 2S-General Manager
Delano and the principal passenger Oft
Gals of the Burlington system held &
conference here vest DAY, principally 10
fix the policy to be observed by travelling
passenger agents in Eastern territory.
1t was decided to make no reduction at
present in the number of district anu
travelling agents, but only trips of ne
cessity are to be made hereafter, when
ever railroad fare must be paid. Instead
of jumping on train, handing his an
nual pass to the conductor, ard riding
fifty miles to make certain that party
of a dozen persons Intending TO go West
will tra1e ell via the Burlington instead o.
a competing line the travelling passenger
agent W II write letter or telephone or
telegraph, as he deems best All the dis
trict and travanng passenger agents IT,
Eastern territory will patronlze the cleo
trio lines whenever possible, instead OF
the steam roads.
So far only the Vanderbilt lines, the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio
roads have officially refused to give
passes for 1902 to officials OF the Burling
ton Some of the lines in the territory
Of the Central Passenger association
lave issued passes to officials of Western
lines. They lTive also received passes
from the Pere Marquette and the Ann
Arbor roads of Michigan.
That the Pennsylvania company enter
ed into the anti-pass agreement in good
faith is demonstrated By It's refusal TO
exchange passes with officials OF the
Burlington. with which it has had very
close relations for many years. If other
lines refuse to abide strictly by the anti
pass agreement, it is certain that the
Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt roads will
nc. adhere to it.

NO CORNER IN TOBACCO
HIGH PRICE CAUSED BY THE IN.
CREASED DEMAND.

BERLIN. Dec. 2S.-Inquiry among the
tobacco manufacturers of Berlin does not
reveal the existence of any especial diff
ficulty in obtaining Turkish tobacco The
prices Of this article, which are now high
er than usual, are attributed to the de-
mand being greater than the supply. The
American Tobacco company is a large
user of Turkish tobacco in its American,
British and recently acquired German
factories. From Information obtained
here the tobacco trust seems undoubtedly
to be the largest buyer of tobacco in the
world and a larger holder of tobacco,
several times over, than any of its COM
petitors. This, it is said here, is very
6iGe ent thing from cornering or attempt
ing to corner the Turkish tobacco crop
President Duke, of the American Tobac-
co company, has been here for ten days
engaged in personally examining the to-
bacco manufacturing situation.

made the same criticism of his subordi-
mates as in his letter to Stanton. His
letter to Grant was as follows:
Winchester. Va, Dec. %, 1864, $3.50 p
m.-Lieut. Gen. Grant: The wagons Of
the two divisions last sent from here
will start for City Point tomorrow morn
ing; also the ambulances. The pressure
is so hard on me to send more troops 20
Western Virginia that I have consented
to send the other small division of Crook 9
command to cover the railroad westward
from Martinsburg. So far as any
military operations on the part of the
enemy of an aggressive character.
think they are at an end in this valley
for a long time to come, and it would
be best, perhaps, to send another division
off.
"hTe only argument against this is the
insecurity which it might create along
the extended and sensitive line from
Alexandria to the Ohio, and where. thera
are so many troublesome interests-som3
loyal and some disloyal-some interested
in coal oil speculation, some in the Balti-
more & Ohio, and some in the canal. SO
far as the military situation is concerned,
it is my impression that another division
could be spared. p. II. Sheridan,
major General"
The friends of Gen. Miles will find from
the records in the war department that 1t
is not unprecedented for general to be
rebuked by his superiors, the secretary
of war and the president Considering
his offense, Gen. Miles escaped with slight
punishment. Had Stanton been dealing
with Miles he would have acted without
any direction from the president.
Miles resumed his duties in command
of the army at his Office in the war de-
partment today. 1t is said that he mas
decided to accept the situation with the
best possible grace, and will say or do
nothing to continue the controversy. So
far as known the incident will cause no
decided change in his prearranged plans,
official and social, for the future.

F.P. sCRAPERs NOVEL PATENT
Topeka System to Work Automatic
ally Is the Rasis Of the Scheme
Other News From the
Railroads.

E. P. Scraper, of Topeka, has invented
q device to prevent collisions of railway
trains, which he has confidence will be
adopted by every railway in the ceun
try which does not use the double track
system. During the past week he sent
a working model Of his invention to
Washington, and has been granted let
ters patent.
L. BIackman, of Topeka, is the t1nan-
cial hacker of Mr.. Scraper, which shows
that the invention will not lack for prop
er support.
Mr.. Scraper calls his invention the
"non-collision safety patent" 1t is a
mtthCd Of blocking trains by torpedoes,
which works automatically and aoso-
lutely prevent two trains from running
within a mile of each other 1t is In
possible for a head-end or rear-end col
lision to occur, if Mr.. Scraper's inven~
ton works as ne claims it will.
Torpedoes are placed at intervals Of
half a mile along the line, in peculiar
box-lke arrangement which is connect
ed by wires with chain of similar
boxes along the line. A device under
the pilot of the locomotive is arranged
to gear into the mechanism connected
with each torpedo station as the train
passes over. AS the engine passes over
this mechanism it causes the wires to
operate for a mile along the track, and
set two torpedocs on the rail, half
mile and mile ahead of the train. 1t
also sets two torpeducs at the same IN
tervals back of the train. AS the tram
moves along it continues to remove ana
reset torpedoes on the track forming
complete block on itself for d mile ahead
and a mile behind. If two trains come
within mile of each other en- the main
track, one or mere of the torpsdoes viii
be exploded, thus warning both trains
of danger. Mr.. Scraper claims that he
has perfected his dev;ce, and that it viii
work in practice. 4 double system of
wire is all that IS required, and Mr.
Scraper claims to have an automatic adj
juster which keeps the wires taut at all
times.
