URGENT NEEDS OF MANILA.
The Philippine Capital Needs an
Electric Car Service, a Lighting
Plant and q Department store.

New York, Aug. 5.-Manila is a city
of $4,000, with practically no street
car service. An electric car line and
lightning plant, an American depart
ment store, handling American goods,
and a good hotel, are the city's most
crying needs at present, and all these
enterprises would pay enormous prof
it's. Nor, contrary to the prevailing
impression, is there any hindrance to
the formation of stock companies to
do business in the Philippines, says
the Manila correspondent of the
Tribune. Following is an extract
from an opinion on this subject by
the leading attorneys at Manila:
I'VE are of the opinion that a cor
poration duly organized in any of the
United States, in accordance with
the laws of such state, can engage
here in the business authorized in its
articles (such articles should provide
for the operation Of the corporation
in the Philippines and that such cor
poration would have the undoubted
right TO acquire and hold property
of all description, including real es-
tate. in the Philippine islands.

tial sentence of dismissal from the
army of Maj. Francis T.. Eltonhead,
Fourteenth infantry, to placing that

Navy cub, in Manila, and of using
profanc and abusive language to

infantry. The court which tried Maj.
Eltonhead sentenced him to the dis
missed, but the president says that in
view of his military record, his good
conduct in the engagements before
Santiago, Cuba, and operations in the
Philippine islands, together with the
recommendation of clemency by the
members of the court, the sentence of
dismissal is committed.
Maj. Eltonhead is graduate Of
West Point, having been appointed
from Pennsylvania in 1871.

SAVED 1R[|R DYNAMITE.
The Old Exposition Building at
Kansas City, Mo. Falls a
Prey to Flames.
A CIRCUS PERFORMANCE INTERRUPTED.
Had Outlived Its Usefulness and
Was to Have been Destroyed with
Dynamite to Give Way for = New
Structure.

Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 5.-At one
o'clock Monday afternoon flames
burst suddenly from the old exposi-
ton building, occupying Il half square
of ground in the eastern end of the
city, and Immediately spread through
the entire structure, which has been
unoccupied for years. The building
is situated directly across the street
from a circus that had pitched its
tents here Sunday night, and great
excitement prevailed among the hun
dreds of people awaiting the opening
performance. The circus employees
were soon called out, and aided in
getting the people to places of safe
ty. The building, which is situated
three miles from the center of the
city, is an old landmark, and was to
have been blown up with dynamite
next Saturday to give way for a new
structure.
At two o'clock the fire was still
burning fiercely and it seemed proba-
BILE that the building would be entire
ly destroyed. 1t was believed the fire.
men would be prevent it's spreading
to the adjoining residence district or
to the circus property. AS far as
known, no one was injured. The peo-
pie were gotten out of the circus
tents in safety and the animals were
removed without much trouble. The
exposition building was buIlt at a cost
of 100000, but for years has been
in a dilapidated condition and was
practically of no value.
The great roof fell in at 2:15 and
the building was soon a complete
wreck. The fire was under control at
2:3O, confined to the exposition build
ing.

A SLIGHT CLEAN OF HOPE.
steel Corporation Directors Dissat-
isned With Morgan's Attitude.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 5.-The Chron-
icle-'reegraph says Zone of the Of
ficials of the Lafayette lodge, Law
renceville, of the Amalgamated asso-
citation, this morning announced that
he had been notified that there would
be no general strike ordered. He is
authority also for the statement that
the directors of the Steel corporation
are dissatisfied with j. p. Morgan's
attitude, and are making every effort
to open negotiations with the
strikers. The official is one of the
leading steel workers of the city,
and the inference is that he has re-
ceived an inside tip from the higher
officials of the association.
