MASSACRE AVERTED
Insurgent Plot to Trap United
States Troops Frustrated.
THE LEADERS ARE UNDER ARREST.
Re-enforcemcnts Being Hurried to
samar, and the Troops There Ex-
pect Hard Fighting-American
Accused of Double Dealing.

MANILA, Oct. Glowing to the Wig
lance of Lieutenant Thomas NJ. Bains,
Jr, of the Ninth United States infantry
another slaughter of American troops
by insurgents has been averted. 1t
seems that Lieutenant Bains discover
ed prisoner re-entering cell at Cal
biga, island of Samar, where several
were confined through hole that had
been let in the wall. An investigation
showed plan TO fill the Jail with bolo-
men and to call the guard, which would
be necessary to get the door open, and
then to attack the garrison. 1t also de-
veloped that the instgators were a
priest and the presidente, both of
whom have been arrested, together
with several other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discovered,
but fortunately frustrated, at Pambu-
jan and other points in Samar. Several
persons have been arrested in connec-
ton with these.
Rc-enfOrccments are being rushed 10
Samar. Three hundred and thirty ma
rines under Lieutenant Colonel AIancil
c. Goodrich have gone there on board
the United States cruiser New York,
and two battalions of the Twelfth in
fantry will start Immediately Tor the
same destination.
United States officers from other
provinces that We're supposed to be pac-
flied have recently arrived in Manila,
and they say that the news of Ameri-
can disasters spreads like wildfire
among the natives, who scarcely at
| tempt to conceal their delight
| The Manila constabulary discovered a
large quantity of steel wagon springs
which were being shipped to various
districts. Investigation showed that
these were to be used in manufacture
ing bolos.
The troops in Samar anticipate hard
| fighting. Brigadier General Jacob H.
Smith, who is in command. has visited
most of the ports and instructed the
commanders that the insurrecton must
be hammered out and General Lukban
the insurgent leader. captured. Already
the movement of troops has begun.

LlNCOLN'S LOGIC.
How Old Abe Learned to Tell When
n Thing Is Proved.

A man who heard Abraham Lincoln
speak in Norwich, Conn, some time
before he was nominated for president,
was greatly impressed by the closely
knit logic of the speech. Meeting him
next day on train he asked him how
he acquired his wonderful logical pow
ers and such acuteness in analysis.
Lincoln replied: at was my terrible
encouragement which did that for me.
When | was young man. / went into
an office to study law. | saw that q
lawyers business is largely to prove
things. / said to myself, Lincoln,
when is thing proved| That was a
poser. What constitutes proof? Not
evidence; that was not the point.
There may be evidence enough, but
wherein consists the proof? | groaned
over the question, and finally said to
myself, 'Ah, Lincoln, you can't tell
Then l thought what use is it for me
to he in law office if l can't tell when
q thing is proved?
$50 | gave it up and went back
home. Soon after l returned to the
old log cabin l fell in with a copy Of
Euclid. had not the slightest notion
of what Euclid was, and | thought |
would find out. l therefore began at
the beginning, and before spring had
gone through the old Euclid's geometry
and could demonstrate every PROPOSE
ton in the book. Then in the spring,
when | had got through with it, l said
to myself one day, 'Ah, do you know
when a thing is proved? and l an

CHEERED THE CENSOR.
How n Gallant Irish Regiment Took
an After Battle Seeding.

The leading regiment of our column
was the Fifty-third, commanded that
day by Major Payn, afterward General
Sir William Payn, X. G. b., very fine
regiment, who, being mostly Irishmen,
were eager to meet their enemy. Mean
while | received orders to cross the riv-
er by ford and get round the enemy's
right flank. and l had gone for this
purpose and was crossing about quar-
ter of mile lower down, when sud-
denly heard loud cheering and a
heavy musketry fire, and then l saw
our troops CALAMITY advancing across
the bridge to the assault
1t turned out to be the Fifty third.
who, tired of the delay under fire and,
1t was whispered, hearirg that Sir
Colin had sent for his pet highlanders
to take the bridge, took their bits be-
tween their teeth and without any
further orders determined to rush the
bridge themselves, which they accord
ingly did, and with great success. The
enemy, once forced out of their posi-
ton, showed but a poor, desultory
fight and, as at Cawnpur, fell an easy
prey to the cavalry, who, having cross
ed, some by the bridge and others, in
Guiding myself, by the ford, fell on
them and pursued them with such sue
cess that we captured every gun they
had.
The Fifty-third were well pleased
with themselves and the result of the
fight they had so suddenly initiated,
but we heard that Sir Colin was great
ly annoyed with them and after the ac-
ton rated them soundly for their in
subordination. But little did these
wild Irishmen care. They had had
their fight, and a real good one, so far
as they were concerned, and as Sir
Colin concluded his speech of rebuke
they gave him three cheers, and giving
three cheers more for General Mans
field, Sir Collins chief of staff, who
had formerly commanded their regi-
ment, they quite upset the chiefs equa-
nimity. but at the same time cleared
away his wrath.-"Old Memories"

BANGOR, Me, Oct. 20.-The record
of shooting accidents in the first 10 DAYS
of the Maine hunting season is an appall-
ing one.
Five men are dead and three have been
severely wounded as result of the care.
less manipulation of firearms in the
woods. The dead are:
Bowley, William, aged Il, of Skowhe-
gan, mistaken flor deer, while fishing
near Moro.
Leonard, John g., aged l6, of Frank

the gun in his companions hands, while
hunting.
McPheters, Henry, aged 40, of Milford,
mistaken for a bear, while gathering
apples in orchard near lumber camp at
Monson.
Ripley, Frank, aged 10, of Waite, acct.

The wounded are: Eugene Wilson
Jonesport, mistaken for bear; Daniel
McInch of De Wolfe's Corner, n. B..
mistaken for a deer, near Calais, and
Edward Metcalf of Rockpost, mistaken
for deer while hunting near that town
At the last session of the Legislature
law was passed providing for the pun
ishmeht of persons who through care
less handling of firearms should shoo
and kill or iniure another. The punis
ment provided is a fine of $1,000 or ter

shooters in the above named cases ha:
been arrested under the law, and that /:
the man who shot Wilson. He is now
under bail for trial at the next crimina

From the above list it would certainly
appear that the law had fallen short o

formed me that if that exorbitant amount

has to make its appeal to-day TO the class

1t was while | was looking at this state
ment and rejecting upon it's significance
that the coming Ecumenical cast its
shadow over the place. and to me it was a
very comely and welcome shadow, for it
consisted of about a dozen as f~ne-looking.
well-groomed cOlored men as one ever sees
at home or abroad. They were part of the
delegation from the African NJ. f. Church
who had taken time by the forelock, and.
like myself, had come around to see that
this dear old church of Wesley's was in
spic and span order for the great gathering
that was to be held in it a month from that
time. In the sermon that morning / had
little interest. What l eagerly awaited was
the benediction, for ] was sure that after
that there was a great religious treat in
store for me. The result showed that
there was, and it consisted in the rare en-
joyment of witnessing the still more rare
enjoyment OF those dozen or more honored
representatives of a race which owes so
much to John Wesley and his followers as
they went around under competent guides
TO examine for the first time the various
busts and memorials in that tim~e-honored
shrine, and then, at last, one by one,
climbed the circular stairway and stood
in Wesley's own pulpit, each of them evil
IDENTIFY feeling as he did, so that the mo-
ment occupied in this new and high ex-
p%erience was the proudest Of his life-as
we'll they might. for the late Dean Stan
ley said once that he would give s1O0 TO
preach from that pulpit. and DIR. Joseph
Parker, in preaching the reopening sermon
of Wesley's Church two years ago, said
that Wesley's pulpit was one of the most
illustrious i'm the world.
What will be the chief features in the
programme of this third Ecumenical Con-
ference. in what points will it differ from
the two conferences which have preceded
1t. what is thought over here as to the
probable results of it. what the arrange
ments are for taking care of so large and
representative a gathering, and in particu-
lar what the King and Queen may possibly
do to show their interest I'm so important a
body-these are matters which 1 cannot
