 According to the records of a courtmar- tial in the Department of the Viscayas, P. l., Raymundo Fonte, a native, found his working companion, Liberato Ban liro, sleeping in his Fonte's) boat. Fonte became enraged, killed the slumbering man with blow of an oar; cut off his nose and ears and, according to his own confession, cooked and ate part of the body.
 He was sentenced to be hanged at Capiz Panay on the 18th inst.
 A military commission headed by Major Henry s. Turrill, surgeon, sentenced Juan Olivar, a Filipino, to be hanged. Olivar was the leader of a band of Ladrones which made an attack upon the house of Teodoro Labrador, president of Minea, Panay, and captured him. his brother, wife, grandmother, goumother, small daughter and a policeman. The grand mother godmother and daughter were shot to death in the vicinity of the cap- ture: Labrador, his wife and the police man were taken to an isolated spot and killed with bolos. The brother made his escape. Incidentally Olivar and his band robbed Labrador of seventy-eight carts, 800 pesos and other articles.
 A band of Tuliseenes, armed with bolis, rifles and daggers, killed eleven mem- bers of the Echvarria family at Marc, Masbate, on August IA, 1900. for the sole reason that the victims were Spaniards. Two members of the band were brought to trial and sentenced to be hanged. But in view of the fact that the more re- sponsible participants in this crime all ready had paid the death penalty, the sentences were commuted by General Chaffee to life Imprisonment.

 torials.

New York. December n.-Frances Iveagh, an editorial writer on an after noon paper, who was shot early this morning by Alexander Horr, a book binder and printer, is in Bellevue hospital in a critical condition. The wounded man made a statement to the coroner and Horr was taken to the hospital to be identified by Iveagh. According to the police, Iveagh said to Horr:
 You are the man who shot me. You are an anarchist and publisher of an- archist literature"
 Iveagh rented a room for himself, his wife and their 4-year-old son from Horr about month ago. The rent had been paid up until today, and yesterday 1veagh told Horr that he intended to move. Conflicting stories are told as to the causes of the shooting, but itNseems to have followed an attempt by Iveagh to enter his room after he had been lock- ed out by Horr.

rebuke impersonally. The "grouchy"
individual came from behind his pa

you keep that brat quiet?" he snarled.

There was a dead silence in the car.
and then pitilessly distinct voice
from nowhere in particular replied:
HE thinks your face is the moon,
and he's crying for it," The surly one
looked about with deathly stare.
Everyone was quaking with mirth,
but preserved solemn countenance
except the man who was smiling out
Of the window at the other end Of
the car. "There are advantages in
being ventriloquist," he murmured
softly to himself.-Springfeld (Mass.)

TOO MUCH FREE TRADE.
The Protective Policy of the United
States Placing Us Ahead of
England I'm Commerce.

A dispatch to the New York Evening
Post from London alludes to the re-
markable change that has recently
come about in the relative positions
commercially of Great Britain and the
United States. 1t says English jour-
nails accept with notable equanimity
the disclosure that Great Britain has
lost her prominence among the ma
tions in export trade, and adds:
"The United States Is given first place by
last years figures, Great Britain the sec
ond and Germany the third. Moreover, the
years. is: United states. q; Great Britain.
%, and Germany, 70. There will be many
homilies on these figures when England
some stir has been created in commercial
circles in the north by the remarks In
which the president of the. Glasgow
chamber of commerce INDUCED In a recent
address in disparagement Of free trade. He
especially instanced Americas prosperity
to a point which staggered credulity un-
der the most drastic protection, and de-
clared that England one day would realize
that II was no part of its duty to keep open
door throughout all sections OF the globe
under her control for the benefit of unre-
ciprocating foreigners. This speech and
the expectations of some leading Manches-
ter men of commerce as to the nature OF
parliament at the coming session are lead
Ing free traders to fui Dish up their weap-
ons in behalf of free trade"
It is somewhat surprising that SO
ardent supporter of free trade as the
Evening Post would publish state
ment of that character. 1t has been SO
persistently asserted by newspapers
of the Post order that England's COM
mercial greatness was due wholly to
free trade, and that the United States,
hampered by protection, could not
hope to secure large export business
that great many persons have been
inclined to believe it.
Facts, however, are unanswerablc
things. And the fact that the United
States, with its strongly protective
| tariff, has surpassed free trade Eng
land in exports is hard one for the
free trade theorists to get over. 1t Is
quite satisfactory to protectionists,
however, and wholly in line with their
teachings from the first-that the ade-
quate protection of home industries
would lead to such development and
perfection az to enable us to success
fully compete with other producers In
the markets of the world.
Every official report showing the
commerce of the. world Is additional
proof of the soundness of the portec-
ton argument. There are ample signs
that England is perceiving it's force
and growing little tired Of free trade.
