 A Novel Experience.
 The Filipinos in Manila have been enjoying, recently, a novel experi- enee, in the holding of free, open po- htical meetings. Most of the ad- dresses at these meetings were made by former officers of the insurgents, all of whom asserted that the best way of securing personal liberty is to accept the liberties guaranteed by the constitution and government of the United States, which is what Ameri- can sovereignty stands for. The au- diences were greatly interested and many of those attending the meetings signed the federal party declaration.
 The construction of a rebel prison at Olongapo, in addition to those at Manila, will be begun shortly.

ROCHESIER'S HOLOCAUST.
Terrible Results of the Burning of the Rochester, N. Y., Or
 plan Asylum.
TWENTY-EIGHT LIVES KNOWN TO BE LOST
All But Two of the Dead are Chil- drcn-Others So Badly Injured That They Can Not Survfve-The Fire Said to Have Started in the Engine Room.

Rochester, N. r., Jan. s.-Twenty- eight dead bodies lie at the morguc and 12 persons more or less seriously injured lie at the different hospitals in the city, as the result of the terri ble holocaust which occurred yester- day morning at the Rochester orphan asylum. Of the dead, 26 were children ot both sexes, ranging in age from two to fourteen years, while the re- maining two were adults. The fire which was discovered at 1:10 a. m., and was doubtless caused by an explo- sion of natural gas in the boiler room adjoining the west wing of the asy- lum, spread so rapidly that many of the 109 inmates of the institution were overcome by flames and smoke almost without warning.
 In all the long and dismal record of fatal fires in Rochester none can be found which can equal this one in it's general horror; in the pathetic scenes in which so many lives were plotted out; in the gallant sacrifice of lives of the attendants in whose charge the children were, and in the sad scenes at the hospitals and the morgue.
 That so many children were saved from the west wing of the building seems little short of miraculous, and when the ruins were visited, one marvelled that the death roll was not even larger
 The scene following almost immedi- ately upon the discovery of the fire and the accompanying explosion was one which turned the stoutest hearts sick. The windows of the west wing were filled with the terrified faces of the tiny waifs. Working like men possessed, the fremen struggled to re- lease them from their perilous posi- tions. The rooms of the dormitory were filled with the smoke of the fire and the little ones were being slowly suffocated.
 Most of those rescued were lowered to the ground by means of ladders from the second and third stories.
 The ambulances from every hospital in the city reached the scene almost as soon as the fire department, but they proved totally inadequate in pro- riding for those rescued. Many suf- ferers and the dead were removed to the houses in the immediate neighbor- hood.
 There were awful scenes around the asylum at this time. Most of those rescued from the building were un- conscious from the effects of smoke. It soon became apparent that the build ing was doomed. A general alarm was sent in, and the entire fire depart ment was soon on the scene. The fire was stubbornly fought from every available point, but it was more than an hour after its discovery before it was under control

Paris, Jan. 9.-As the result of in- quiries made in official circles it ls learned that (as cabled from Wash ington to the Daily Mail, of London,)

Hhoriff, Some time ago Sheriff Logan
asked tho North Carolina sheriff to
arrest for him ono James Lindsay, o
negro, wanted in York county for mur-
der. The sheriff at Nowton, N. g.,
did arrest Lindsay and notified Shoriff
Logan, stating that tho fellow was
willing to como without requiaitiori.
Tho South Carolina sheriff had already
informed the North Oarolira officer
that thero WIS no reward for the negro.
Sheriff Logan sont deputy on to bring
the negro back. Tho North Carolina
sheriff rofused to give him up, saying
that he would not do 30 without o re-
ward and threatened even to turn tho
negro loose. The deputy came back
without his man. Then Shoriff Logan
informed Gov. MoSHooney and Friday
requisition papers were issuod upon tho
governor Of North Carolina and Sheriff
Logan is to go OH to Newton himself.
Coy. McSwoonoy will probably report

Moth Carolina officer to tho governor
OF North Carolina for such action as no
