AMERICAN INVASION.
Proposition Of PittSburGer Favor
nhIy Received In Russia,

PropOsltiOn Of PittSburgcr Favor
ably Received In Russin.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2S.-The
offer of Murry A. Werner of Pittsburg
to buy all the municipal and private
street railways Of st. Petersburg, in
troduce electrical traction and organize
complete system of electric tram
ways has been received very favorably
by the local press. The municipal
council has been discussing the matter
for several years, hut Mr.. Verner's
offer is the first genuine step toward
the Introduction OF electricity. The
city owns three lines, and Il number of
other lines are owned and operated by
two private companies. The city has
begun legal proceedings against these
companies with a view to unifying all
the surface traction companies, and
Mr.. Verner's offer stipuates that the
city shall turn the private lines over to
him when the matter has been liti-
gated.
Mr. Vcrners offer is regarded by the
press AS Straightforward, b,sinesslike
and fair. 1t is too early to predict
success, since many cooks help make
a broth in this city, but the municipal
council was not approached until Mr..
Werner, who has been to st. Peters
burg three times within fourteen
months, had carefully studied the
whole problem from financial and
technical point Of view and through
his local representative, Mr.. II. A. Hey
decker, the American vice consul, had
sounded various authorities about the

SHORT CUT TO HAWAII.
Steamship Company to Send Cargoes
Across the 18th mus.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2S.-It Is re-
ported in maritime circles that an ar
rangement has been effected between
the Panama Railroad company and the
American Hawaiian Steamship compa-
ny, now plying between New York and
Philadelphia and San Francisco and
the Hawaiian Islands, by which the
cargoes will be transferred at the 18TH
mus to the railroad. This tlansshipment
would mean clear saving Of forty-fvt
days in y voyage which occupies abou.
four months and would do away with
the present perilous trip through the
strait Of Magellan. 1t also means an
immense saving in coal, as the new ar
rangement would bring the terminus OF
the line 5000 miles nearer. Agents Ol
the steamship company declined to con-
firm the statement that such An agree
ment had been effected, but as negotia-
general credence is given to the report.
The American-Hawalan Steamship
company has been engaged for Il year
past in conveying sugar from our trop-
ical possessions and in return voyages
has carried out quantities of machinery
and manufactured goods. A fleet of six
vessels is now In service, and three
more vessels are about to be added.
BY the proposed arrangement the
fleet will be divided. and three vessels
will ply between this port and New
York and Colon, the Atlantic port, on
the isthmus. while the other three Will
run between llxwai. San Francisco
and Panama On the Pacific coast. The
distance from Philadelphia to Colon Is
1.9Sl miles, while the long voyage
"round the Horn" to Panama Is IN
round figures 1900 miles.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-West and central
London have been enveloped in IL black
fog. which plunged the entire fashion
able part of the city into impenetrable
darkness. The fog found Its way into
the theaters and music halls until in
many cases the stage was scarcely Wis.,

of public houses, refusing to move. and
scores of busses'we4e abandoned around
important landmarks, their drivers not
daring to proceed. The scenes about

MANILA, Oct. 2S.-The collstabulary
report fight with insurgents near
Passi, province of Ilollo, island of Pa
nay, in which twenty-five insurgents
were killed and three captured, to-
gether with quantity of arms and
ammunition.
The news from General Hughes re-
garding conditions in the island of
Cebu is encouraging. Lorega has sur
rendered, with his entire force and one
cannon and seven rifles, while General
Hughes is negotiating for the surren-
der of MaXilot, who styles himself
governor politico militar." His sur
render Will mean the pacitication of the
province.
Lack Of food and the harassng ef-
fects of the aggressive tactics now
pursued by the American forces are
having their influence upon the ma
tives. In many places where rice is
doled out by the government only
enough is given for one meal, so that
1t is hardly possible for any large
quantity to find its way to the insur-
gents.
1t Is believed that the recent mani
festations in the island of Samar were
chiefly due to the lack Of food, the in
surgents finding it necessary to make
outlets to the coast in order to obtain
this.
The first labor problem growing out
of the new tariff has arisen. A hat and
umbrella factory employing 600 hands
has found it necessary to close. The
lawyers are making protest to the
commission. urging protection. as the
same goods from Germany can be sold
at half the price It takes to manufac-
ture them here.
Dispatches from Cntbalogan, Samar,
say that stringent and energetic meas
urcs are being taken to suppress the in
surrecti0n IN that island. General
Smith has notified all the presldentes
and head men Of tile puehlos that in
order to avoid trouble they must sur
render all arms aud turn over the per-
sons implicated In the BaIanglga mas
sacre before Nov. 6. threatening that
otherwise the prcsidentes will be sent
to the island Of Guam. tho villages de-
stroyed and tho property contiscated.
Marines under Major Llttleton w. 7.
Waller have been stationed at Balangi-
ga and Basey. and ten gunboats are
vigilantly patrolling the Samnr coast.
Most of the towns In the southern part
Of the island have been destroyed.

manding the gunboat Mariveles, who
had gone ashore ut Nipa-Nip south

revolver and was shot and boloed.
Lieutenant Louis j. Van Schaick re-
ports that in an attack by insurgents
on the municipal police and scouts at
Sabang one scout was killed and two
of the police were captured. The in
surgents secured two Krag g-Jorgelisen

ammunition. Lieutenant Van Schaick
