FRED fUNSTON
IS Seeking AGU|NALD0..
THE DARING KANSAN, WITH A
BAND OF PICKED MEN, ON A
BOLD MISSION.
WILL TRY TO ENTER RETREAT
HERE TURN THE TABLES
ON HIM.

MANILA, March 23.-Gen. Funston
is now engaged in a daring project
which promises to be the greatest and
most romantic achievement of his
eventful career. In January, from his
hiding place in the province of Isa-
bella, Aguinaldo wrote letters anathe-
matizing the sub-chiefs who had taken
the oath of allegiance to the United
States. Later Aguinaldo ordered GER
tain insurgent forces in Southern Luz
ION to join him at a rendezvous in Isa-
bella province. The rebel officer en-
trusted with those orders secretly ne
gotiated with the Americans. On Sc
curing necessary information, Gen.
Funston planned Aguinaldo's capture,
and with Gen. MacArthur's authorize
ton, Gen. Funston proceeded two
weeks ago to make the attempt. Gen.
Funston, with Surgeon Major Harris,
Captain Newton, of the Thirty-fourth
infantry; Lieut.. Admire, of the Twen-
ty-second infantry; Lieut.. Mitchell, Of
the Fortieth infantry; six veteran
scouts and a company OF native scouts,
all picked men, embarked on the gum
boat Vicksburg, and were landed on a
remote beach above Baler. 1t was ar
ranged that Aguinaldo's emissary, with
lie native scouts, should pass them
selves off as insurgent troops, who,
having captured Gen. Funston and 9TH
ers were taking them as prisoners to
Agulnaldo. At the right time, when
brought before Aguinaldo, Gen. Fun
ston was to give a signal, when the
tables were to be turned and Aguinaldo
was to be seized. Six days march in
to the interior were contemplated.
Treachery was considered possible, but
every precaution was taken. The
troops in New Viscaya and New Ecija,
and the %gunboats Vicksburg and Al
bany were to cooperate with Gen.
Funston'S forces. The Vicksburg is
expected here tomorrow.
Col. Rosario, with fifty-one men and
ifty-six rifles, has surrendered to Col.
Baldwin, of the Fourth infantry, at
San Francisco de Malabon, Cavite prov
ince.
Lieut.. Dean, of Troop C, Sixth cav
airy, has enaged a force of insurgents
at Tubig, Lagunda province, killing
several of them and capturing seven
men and twenty-four rifles.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 23.-The
holders of the $3.50, 000, 600 bond issue
of the Carnegie Company are now con-
sidering the exchange of them for
bonds of similar amount and terms Of
the United States Steel Consolidation.
The matter has been brought to the at
tention of the stockholders by a circu-
lar signed by C. M. Schwab, president;
w. w. Blackburn, secretary, n L.
c. Phipps, treasurer. 1t was stated by
good authority to-day that Andrew
Carnegie has agreed to an exchange of
bonds if all of the others are retired at
the same time as his own and new
ones issued.
For the most part the bonds will be
exchanged in the same manner as the
stock Is being disposed of.
Ut is the intention to retire all bonds
that would be underlying, those of the
National Tube Company, National
Steel Company, American Steel and
Wire Company and other combines,
that will be absorbed. The same prop
o~sition, it is said, has been, or will be
submitted, to the holders of them as
has been submitted to the Carnegie
people. OF the total issue Andrew Car
negie will receive SITE, 000, 900 in addi-
ton to the payment of SIS ,000, 900 in
cash for his total holdings of stocks
and bonds.

plete tie-up OF the lines. hinges on a
meeting of employees now In session
at Braddock. The men claim the COM
pany is trying to break up their union,
while the company asserts that the
trouble was brought about by their re-
fusal to reinstate former employees who
were discharged because they were OBJ
noxious. Superintendent of Police Les
lie has ordered the lines under police
guard to anticipate any trouble that
may arise. 1t is fully expected a
strike will be ordered to begin at 5

Dawson refused to treat with him.
Mr.. Mahon then sent a letter 10 the
general manager insisting that the men
discharged be reinstated; that no men
be discharged for connection with the
union; and hat no men be refused m
ployment for participation In other
strikes. The men seem determined to
carry their point or strike, and the
company is equally determined 10 run
their road according TO their W ideas.
Mr.. Dawson says the company has not
recognized the union, neither has 1t
refused recognition. He a y the men
were discharged for refusing to teach
new men unless the latter first agreed
to join the union. One OF the dis
charged men is president OF the local

RUSSIA N MANCHUR|A
An IMPORTANT NATTER.
CHINA HAS BUT THREE DAYS IN
WHICH TO CONFIRM OR
REJECT.
UNITED STATES INTERESTS
Err PROTEST WILL LIKELY
BE MADE.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The ques-
ton of Chinese indemnities has given
way for the moment to the more press
ing issue over the consummation of
the Russia-China agreement relating
to Manchuria. The latter subject has
reached a decisive stage, as only three
days remain within which China can
confirm or reject the agreement. Up
to the present time neither the State
Department nor the Chinese minister
has received any report taat China has
rejected the treaty. There naturally
is much anxiety in official and diplo-
matte quarters as to the outcome, for
the active part taken by the various
powers and the threatening attitude of
Japan give unusual importance to the
conclusions to be reached within the
next few days. The Chinese minister
to-day had a conference with Secretary
Hay, the Manchurian question being
the chief subject of discussion. The
minister brought no definite informa-
ton, however, as to what has been
done on the agreement.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned it seems likely that the last
word has been spoken, and there is
not expected to be any decisive move
or protest beyond what already has
been given. At the same time it Is
appreciated that the United States has
large commercial interests in Manchu-
ria, which cannot but be affected If
Ohina's authority there is practically
transferred to Russia.
The State Department has been made
aware of the fact that the Japanese
government has made a rather ener-
getic protest against the conclusion OF
the Russo-Chinese agreement relating
to Manchuria. This, however, has not
been conveyed to the department by
mean of any formal note or commun-
ication, but has been verbal in charac-
ter, and has been in line with the well
understood attitude of opposition
which Japan has manifested for some
time.

ell held a long conference over the

There are indications that the rail-

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, March %.
George Washington Anderson, the
confessed husband of seventeen wives,
most Of whom are still living, has just
been sent by the seventeenth to the
Peasants county poor house. at st.
Mary's, while she attempts to recover
a little of the wealth that she gave
UP to marry him and sues for a di-
yorce.
The old man was 6S years old, and
his bride IA, when they eloped to
Parkersburg last month and were mar
ried here.
They had known each other but two
days, but in that time he had learned
the lesson he had SO often and SO cas-
lily learned before and she, in seeing
him, no doubt the realization of a
life times longing, accepted him as
500 as he proposed, and in the most
romantic fashion they eloped to this
place and were married.
When he proposed to her he repre-
scented that he was drawing a pen
sion.
She was also receiving a pension,
but as he was drawing support from
the government, she was willing to
give up hers for him.
After the honeymoon was over, the
old man took sick. and the wife's do
votion to him was remarkable.
But as time wore On, she began to
suspect that he was not all he repre-
scented himself 70 be. The time to NIL
out vouchers for his pension came and
went, and he neglected to attend 70
this.
She began a search through his pock-
cts, after the papers, and the first thing
she found was his written confession
that he had been sixteen times mar
ried before he saw her.
That took all the glamour off the
married life, which she had hoped
would bring her happiness, and when
he confessed and added that nearly
all OF them were alive and we'll, she
bundled him bodily out of the house,
and had him taken to the poor-house,
where she would nc longer have to
support him.
She then instructed her attorney to
bring suit for divorce at nee.
To the prosecuting attorney the old
man told the same story he had told
his wife, and it is generally credited in
st. Mary's.
The old man has not yet divulged his
history, and the of the other
wives, but it is believed he will soon
be persuaded to do so.
He is getting quite feeble, and is still
sick in the infirmary, where he was
sem q few days ago.
The suit for divorce will be filed the
first of the week.

BY R OF APRIL.
The United States Steel Corporation
VIII Be in Charge of Affairs About
- BiffSbnrr


PITSTBURG, Pa, March 23.-The
United States Steel Corporation, the
greatest combination of interests in
the world, will, from present indica-
tons, be doing business on April LIST,
and in the Pittsburg district, the lead
ing iron and steel centre of the
try, over $4,000 employees in the mills
and blast furnaces will have new en-
pioyers.
1t is not the intention of the new
corporation at present to make any
changes in the management of the
constituent companies, but it is like
ly that new systems OF operation will
be introduced. Among the concerns
embraced in the big steel combine, the
Carnegie Company heads the list, as
to the number of employees, and is
closely followed by the National Tube
Company and the American Steel &
Wire Company.
All are open mills, only those of the
American Tin Plate Company, and
several of the American Sheet Steel
Company being under the jurisdiction
of the Amalgamted Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, the wages
paid being regulated by an annual
scale agreed upon by that organization
and the companies. The wages at the
other plants are arraned by agreement
between the workmen and the compa-
MES. 1t seems likely that this system
will be continued by the United States
Steel Corporation. No announcement
has been made of the formulating of a
general wage scale for the various de-
partments of the big combination.

PITTSBURG, Pa. March 23.-Notices

would be made on April 18th for char
tiers for the corporations of Howe,

pany.
These concern were among those
taken into the Crucible Steel Company
when the combine was formed. and the
notices following the retirement of w.
G. Park from the Craftsmanship of the
board and yesterdays raid on the
stock, caused considerable comment in
financial circles.
Counsel for the companies stated,
however, that the charters were for the
purpose of protecting the company
against the use of names which have
become valuable as indicating a dis
tinctive brand of crucible steel.

PITTSBURG. March 23.-Appeal is
to be made to a convention of the
miners of the Pittsburg district next
week to decide what is to be done with
the present scale disagreement with
the operators. The wage committee OF
the miners organization has been in
session with the operators Of the Pitts
burg district for the past three or four
weeks almost continuously, and while
most of the provisions that the miners
have asked to be inserted in the wage
agreement this year have been granted,
the n feature that they consider the
most important has been rejected by
the operators with much frmness.
This provision is called the check

ors to deduct from the pay of the
miners in the union the amount of the
dues they W. the organization and
turn it over to the officers of the organ
ization.

with IA Dying WOman Lying by His
Side-A Disconnected story.
JOPLIN, Mo-, March 23.-Henry Ok
endine, a bartender of Webb City, was
found in bed at the Hotel Willis, this
city, tonight, with a bullet through the
heart. BY his side lay Mrs. Hettie
Eckles, fatally wounded by a bullet
through her breast. In her hand she
held a smoking pistol. When the wo-
man had partly recovered her reason
she told a disconnected story TO the
effect that Oxendine had first burn
ed his watch and clothes in the stove,
and then shot her and killed himself,
Mrs. Eckles met Oxendine on he
street early in the evening. They went
up into her room about half an hour
before the shooting. Four shots were
heard, one first and then three in
succession, a moment later. There
were two wounds on the body of the
dead man, which indicates that shots
which killed him were fired last. The
woman may recover
