ride taken to the Luneta, the beautiful park on
the bay south of the city. Here the military
ban'' discourses sweet music every evening, and
the beauty and fashion of Manila meet and enjoy
the evening air and melodious strains. Return
ing from the drive about seven o'clock, the even.
ing meal or supper comes next in order, after
which our belle of Manila is free for any mode
of spending the evening hours that may appeal
to her; perhaps friendly visit, a trip to the
theater or opera, or an Eat home" to receive
callers. Early as she arose bedtime often comes
late, and no hours more than nature demands
are spent in the enjoyment of slumber. Going
to rest, however, is different there and here.
Ladies, even of the highest social rank, dn not

bolster or pillow, and covered with the conven-

Madison, July 2.
Tobacco hefeabouts has been dam
aged to the extent of over 100000 by
the hot weather, and unless there is
very late fall to permit the maturing
of the replanted crop very much
heavier loss will result. About Madi-
son no good rain has fallen for a long
time, but in Vernon and Crawford
counties there was a drenching shower
Wednesday. AS Dane and Rock coun-
ties produce a third of the crop in the
state a serious shortage here will
probably result in an advance in price
Milford Pelton of the tobacco firm
of Pelton & Klauber said last night
that the crop had been seriously dam
aged by the heat, and that the sun
had probably burned up one-fourth of
the planting in Dane and Rock coun-
ties While it is possible to reset the
plants the crop will not turn out good
and may be a total loss.
About 10000 cases of tobacco val
ued at $50 each were raised in the
state last year, said Mr.. Pelton. OF
this 10000 cases came from Dane and
Rock counties. This year the acre
age in tobacco is even larger; that is,
the expected crop was valued at more
than $1,200000 in the two counties.
IT, as Mr.. Pelton estimates, one-fourth
has been destroyed the loss will az
gregate over $4,000 Rain would be
a great aid yet, but most of the dam
age is already done.

TWELVE DIE
BY LIGHTNING

Chicago, July 2.-Crowded together
in a little zinC-lned shanty under the
north shore pier, ten boys, young
man and an old man met instant death
by lightning yesterday. They left
their fish lines and sought shelter
from a fierce thunderstorm that del
uged the northern part of the city
early in the afternoon.
Ten minutes later their bodies lay
with twisted, tangled limbs, like a
nest of snakes" os the men who found
them said. OF the twelve who sought
shelter, one escaped, twelve-year-old
Willie Anderson, who was uninjured,
but he lay many minutes before he
could be drawn out from under the
heap of dead bodies. The dead are
all from families of comparatively
poor people, and comprised party of
men who were fishing and seeking re-
lief from the heat Of the day, joined
by number of boys who had come to
wade on the beach
The dead are: George Brabinat,
Meyer Jacobs, George Priebs Frank
Coosey Carl Kruse, Edward Bloch,

The scene was few hundred feet

Plttsburg, Pa, July 2.--As result
of the refusal Of the representatives o.
the American steel Sheet company and
American Steel Hoop company Csub
sidiary companies of the great United
States steel Corporation) to sign work
era new scale, circulars were sent out
from national headquarters Of the
Amalagmated association Of iron

companies. It will be several days be,
fore the actual extent Is known, but at
The outset over $4,000 men will be in

PEELED to shut down during the early
part of July to give the men rest
and it will Do after, perhaps August
Est, when the combine makes a serious
attempt to start up In full. Then the
real battle will begin If no settlement
aas been reached.
Added interest was given the strike
situation wnen It became known that
the two mills in the dispute, which
were the cause Of the disagreement be-
tween tho AmaIgamated association
and American Sheet Steel company
were claimed by both parties. These
mills are the Old Meadows Mt Scott
dale and the Salisbury mill. The OH
eials who refused to sign the union
scale seemed as much surprised ut
the claims of President Shaffer that the
mills were union Us the president
seemed TO that they should take an
opposIte view from his.
The sheet steel officials appeared to
have trlfe the better Of the argument
when word came from Scottdale that
tho men now working there refused to
anit, scale or no scale.
The rumor that President Schwab ~
the United States Steel corporation
might be asked to come to PittBburg
and settle the trouble now pending
caused some little discussion, but both
Secretary Jarrett and President Shat
Ter denied there was any need OF his

Cleveland July The Leader to-
day will say: Before the LIST of
September all the big companies pro
ducing bituminOus coal will have been
gathered into one organization similar
to the United States Steel corporation.
The capitalization will be enormous,
probably second only to that of the
big steel trust. From what can be
learned work on the big coal trust has
been on the way for n greater length
of time than any of the other indus
trial combinations. j. p Morgan, an
advocate of the coalition, first started
in with his coal combination three
years ago, making the first move
ments along the line of controlling the
products of the Ohio and West Vir-
ginia fields. At that time he obtained
complete control of the mining prop
erty in the Hooking and Shawnee val
ley In order to give an outlet for this
coal he purchased certain railroad
properties, This started the Combina-
ton mania along the line of railroad
ownership which has gone to extra
ordinary lengths,
Proceedings in the present combin-
alton are similar to those displayed in
the formation of the steel trust. One
year ago all coal properties in the
Pittsburg district which ship coal to
the lakes were merged into one corpo-
ration as the PittsburE Coal Co
About the same time the same inter
ests which ship coal from that terri
tory down the river formed what has
since been known as the Monongahela
Coal Co, each being combination of
smaller companies, making an organl
cation of considerable Importance
The desire to control other coal terri
tory in the same fashion. that larger
companies might be easier to handle
by Morgan, has led to the selection in
certain sections OF confidential agents
As the outgrowth of this policy, an or
sanitation was completed in Chicago
item days ago known as the Illinois Coal
Co. which owns two-thirds of all coal
land in Illinois and western Indiana
ABOUT the same time 1t became Euner
Tally known that NJ. \. Hanna and
others had about completed the all
sorptton of most of the coal properties
in the Massillon district This is ox
peCtcd to be completed in the next ten
days. The West Virginia coal produc
ton is yirtuauy owned by one com
pany, the Fairmount Coal Co, which
in turn is the property Of the Balti
more 4 Ohio railroad Other interests
in the territory are all owned by this

road, all of which, with tho Baltimore

railroad organization, being owned by

company Monongahela Coal company
