The Island of Samar.

The island of Samar, where q COM
pany of the Ninth infantry was almost
exterminated by the insurgents last
Saturday, lies southeast of Luzon.
Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, who
has returned from the Philippines, says
civil government is very successful on
the island of Luzon (of which Manila
is the capital) and that all insurrection
has been put down there. Of Samar, he
says:
''The island is filled with banditti
and outcasts. When the iusur-
gents are driven out of Luzon
and the other nearby islands, those
who did not take the oath of allegiance
fled to Samar. In short time the
island, which had been peaceable, be-
came the hotbed of trouble. All the
bad characters of the archipelago gath
cred there. and forced the natives to
ioin their forces. These banditti have
violated every rule of war and civiliza-
tion, and will doubtless require consid-
erable force to bring them to terms."

THIRSTY PEOPLE
AT The MEETING
Extraordinary Conduct in Ken
lucky Presbyterian Mission.

The Presbyterian Home Missionary
Society held its quarterly meeting in
an all-day session yesterday at the First
Church. The forenoon
work was devoted to business matters,
with Mrs. Francis presiding.
At the afternoon session DR.. Nc
Donald. Superintendent of work in the
mountains of Kentucky, spoke OF his
work there. There were some inter-
esting points in this connection. Hay
den, KY, is said to be the most inacces-
sible point of the State. The mission
aries, on going there seven years ago,
found that there was no sign of church
or Sunday School, and only one Chris
tian in the place.
The first time a meeting was held ev-
cry one came to see the ''furringers, "
but they were not interested in any
thing else.
Some of the people lay down in the
seats others walked about. The chill
dren played, and the dogs did whatso
ever they willed. The crowd develop
ed strong desire for a drink of watel
from the bucket on the platform, ant
one after another walked deliberatel.
to the place, took a drink, and, if h
did not finish all the water in the dip
per, went to the door or window to throw
what renamed away, brought the dip
per back and went to his seat.
The work looked hopeless until the
had children's meeting, in which the
talked to the older people over the chi
dren's heads. After seven years the
have the largest Sunday School, great
est Christian Endeavor and one of tn
largest academies in the State.
Mrs. Palmer presented the Freed
mans work. She has travelled throug
: the larger part of the South, has live
} in India and Africa, but says that nj
where in the world are the faces I
: men and women 30 utterly hopeless
: look upon as those of the mountainel
: of Virginia and Kentucky. She sho'
+ ed the work that is being done by Il
: schools established by the missional
J. societies, and presented their nee'
!, with emphasis. To prove the got
+ done in educating the Freedmen, 81
e cited the result accomplished by Il
!, work OF the Goodwill Institute, ne
n Maysville, S. c., which is in the hea
d of the Black. Belt region. In the eig
J. years since the school has been at wol
+ there has been no convection for Grin
g in the courts of that place.
o There were other brief talks and
g little music before the close of t
meeting.

THE yachts tried to race Wednesday,
but the wind was so light and uncer-
tain that the race was declared of, as
its was apparent that neither boat
could make the time necessary to run
the race. 1t is estimated that from
20, 900 to 10000 people witnessed the
race from vessels that followed the
yachts. At the start, the Columbia
took the lead, the Shamrock passed
her, then the Columbia passed her.
The Shamrock afterwards took the
lead, and was quarter of a mile ahead
when the race was declared off.

EMMA Goldman was to repeat in Chi
eogo last night, the speech which the
Presidents assassin claimed infamed
him to commit his terrible crime. The
woman said she wanted Ito repeat the
speech to let the public Judge if there
was anything incendiary in it. But so
intense is the hatred of the anarchists
in the city, that 1t was several days
before a hall could be obtained. A
large force of detectives was to be
present to preserve order, and keep
the speaker within bounds.

him so that the travelling between
points is not too exacting.

Eliminating the two Sundays that
occur between the opening gof the Re-

for me, because I could only step about
three inches, and the floor was covered
with bricks and boards. At this time
