new setback on the Island OF Samar.
The Ninth Infantry, which suffered
there, was the same organization that
engaged in the latest fight at Bangajon.
An inspection of the disposition made
OF the troops on the Island OF Samar
shows that before the Balangiga fight
there were no less than 38 separate
posts. These were so disposed that
supplies could be conveyed to the troops
by water. General Hughes has left Sa-
mar and gone to the island of Cebu to
recuperate, which accounts for the as
sumption OF the command on Samar by
General Smith. General Hughes was
worn out and suffered from the effects
OF a severe fall received while chasing
insurrectos in the mountains Of Samar
AS OF interest in connection with the
report from Samar, Adjutant General
Corbin made public a report by General
Hughes to General Chaffee, dated Aug
20, on the situation in that island. Gen
eral Hughes says:
The progress in Samar is satisfac-
tory in some ways and not in others
The subduing OF the fighting propensi-
ties OF the war faction is reduced almost
to a -nullity. The growth OF our
strength in the estimation OF the people
is also quite satisfactory.

Civil Serylce Extension.

President Roosevelt has already been
making inquiries in various depart
ments concerning the extension OF the
civil service rules and regulations, and
on the recommendation OF the Post
master General it is understood that an
order will be issued before long includ-
ing the rural free delivery branch OF the
Postoffice Department under the civil
service regulations. This will apply to
all of the employees in that branch OF
the service excepting the carriers. As
these are scattered over the country
they could not be included very well in
the competitive examinations.
The civil service rules now as appl-
cable to the examinations for admission
to the general free delivery service have
been found on experience to arouse
complaints from women applicants, and
accordingly Postmaster General Smith
sent.a letter to the Civil Service Com
mission suggesting that women appli-
cants be exempted from certain OF the
rules in regard to physical examina-
tons Of applicants. AT the Office OF the
Civil Service Commission it is said that
the letter from the Postmaster General
was expected and that action would be
taken on it at once

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Report on Arbitration.

The Industrial Commission, which
has just made public its report on labor
disputes and arbitration, says in that
document that local systems OF collect
i've bargaining and agreements between
employees have been most highly de-
veloped in the building and other trades
where both employers and employees
are strongest organized. There is a
growing movement in favor OF collective
bargaining, conciliation and arbitration
as between organizations of employers
and employees covering any industry
throughout the country.
A growing movement is noted toward
establishing State and local machinery
for arbitration in the bituminous coal
industry. Systems OF arbitration as to
specific disputes have been established
in formal manner and on national
scale in the stove molding, the general
foundry, the machinists (now not in ex-
istence) and the printing trades
The representatives OF employers and
working men who have testified before
the commission almost uniformly have
opposed compulsory arbitration. Sew
eral State boards OF arbitration also have
expressed their opinion against com
pulsory arbitration as a general princi-
pie, and one or two OF the boards have
specifically opposed II in any form.

M. SANTOS DUMONT
WINS THE PRIZE
Committee Says That he Exceeded the
Time Limit.
N. DEUrscH ADMITS THAT HE WON IT
The Claim Made That He Had Covered
the Distance In Half Hour, Accord
ing TO the Terms Of The Race Against
Time, and That Time Had Been Lost In
Descending.

Paris (By Cable).-M Santos-Du-
mont, the aeronaut, sailed around the
Eiffel Tower. in his balloon and return
ed to the Aero Club within twenty-nine
minutes, having, to all appearances,
complied with all the conditions impos-
ed by NJ. Deutsch for the winning OF
the award of Ioc 600 francs for the in
vention OF dirigible airship.
M. Deutsch says that Sautos-Dumont
virtually won the prize, hut the Aero
Club says he has not because he failed
to land inside so minutes. NJ Dumont
refused to concur in the decision of the
club. The committee declares that San
tos-Dumont took 80 minutes 40 Al sec
onds to make the trip.
NJ. Deutsch offered a consolation
prize OF 5000 francs, but Santos would
not accept this. The inventor will now
take his balloon to he Riviera.
Santos-Dumont started for the first
time at 2.2o, but on leaving the park his
guide rope caught in a tree and he was
obliged to descend. He started again
at 2.42 p. m, rose $50 yards and then
pointed for the Eiffel Tower the bal
loon going in straight line. 1t was
seen through field glasses to arrive at
the tower and round it.
The time Up to the point, with the
wind in the balloons favor, was 8 min
utes and As seconds. 1t returned against
the wind and made slower headway but
still kept in the true direction for St.
Cloud, which it reached in the total time
OF 20 minutes IS seconds But instead
OF descending Immediately Santos-Du-
mont made a broad sweep over the
Aero Club grounds, with the result that
another minute and IS seconds we're
consumed before the workmen seized
the guide rope. Thus, technically, San
tos-Dumont exceeded the time limit by
10 seconds.
The enormous crowd which had gath
cred inside and outside the grounds
gave the aeronaut a tremendous ova-

SHOWS NO SIGN
OF A COLLAPSE
Mrs. Mary Wilmer Is a Woman Of
Iron Nerve.
ARSENIC IN HER SISTERS BODY.
Despite the Terrible Charges Against Her. She
Retains Her Stoieism and Maintains Her
Composure-T Attempts TO Get Her to
Convict Herself Of Any Of the Murders
Charged Against Her Prove Futile.

Dayton, o. (Specia) Mrs. Mary
Belle Witwer. the alleged murderer OF
ID persons, retains stoicism which
amazes the authorities and quite discon-
oerts her attorney. She has maintained
her composure from the beginning. Only
once has she given way to tears, and that
was when visited by her stepson. whose
father, Frank d. Witwer, her fifth and
last husband, is said to have died from
poison which she administered. Young
Witwer offered to bring the prisoner any
delicacies she might wish, and reminded
her that she had always been a kind
mother to him.
Aside from this the woman has kept
up an Indifferent attitude under all cir
cumstances. Police interviews have fail
ed to make the slightest impression upon
her. and she has daily reiterated her
statements with reference to crimes at
tributed to her and reasserted her inno-
cence. Several attempts to entrap the
prisoner have failed, and it is apparent
that she will make a good defense.
Evidence against Mrs Witwer is pure
ly circumstantial She is directly charg-
ed with the murder Of her sister, Mrs.
Anna c. Pugh. a professional nurse, who
lived with Mrs. Witwer in this city.
Mrs Witwer lost four husbands, and all
died rather suddenly and under peculiar
circumstances In the wholesale charges
informally made by the authorities she
has been accused of causing the death
of all, in addition to those of several
children, making a total of IA deaths
There is no expectation that more than
one crime can be fastened upon the
woman, if, indeed, the authorities will
succeed in that. She is an adept in hold
ing her own in trying situations When
arraigned on the charge of administer
ing arsenic to her sister she merely
shook her head when the word "murder"
was pronounced and at the conclusion
of the reading of the affidavit by the
prosecutor, she arose. and, in quavering
voice, replied distinctly, 81 ain not
guilty"

Distrib ton OF Seed.

The Department OF Agriculture has
completed plans for the annual seed
distribution throughout the country
Thirty-seven million packets OF seed
will be distributed, comprising both
vegetables and flowers.
A change has been made in the meth
cd OF distributing cotton and forage
crops, which now, instead OF being sent
broadcast, will be sent only to certain
sections where they are adaptable and
likely 10 bring about improved condi-
tions. Havana and Sumatra tobacco
will be sent only to Florida and certain
parts OF New England, where their cul-
ture has proved successful and where
muslin sheets spread over large tracts
ofo tobacco area furnish the necessary
tropical conditions. Other types of to-
bacco plants will be sent to other sec
tions
The department will begin sending
out the seeds about December I, and
most Of them will be furnished through
Senators and Representatives.
