Letter From the Philippines.
TAeB1LARAS, ISLE DE BoHoL,

TAGBILARAN, ISLE DE bohoL,
June 10, 1901.
Dear Editor guess you think nave
kicked the bucket, you have not heSru
from me for so long but am still KICK
inc and on the top floor. | have JuSt
come in from a hard campaign. we
left here on June 18th and marched nVe
DAVIS in the hills. On our second day
out we were marching along road tnat
ran through dense forest, and all were
laughing and talking when all at once
the insurgents opened fire on us with
breachloading gun Zone pounder) ana
about ten rifles on one hill and on anoth-
or hill with a lot more rifles. But they
didn't last long when We got started.
We had a % Hotchkiss gun with us,
and the boys opened up on the trenches
with it and the niggers pulled their
freight into the hills.
Well. we continued on our march, ana
on the next day, the 18th, we marched
TO the forts in the mountains, wnlcn
were supposed to be the headquarters OF
a generality the name of SedrO Sampson,
the insurgent leader on this island, ana
we reached them at 80 in the evening
and opened fire on them. The inSur-
hills with large forts in between the hills.
We had pretty hard scrap, but ran
them out without losing man. Inc
insurgents loss was about fifty killed
and a number wounded. We burned
everything they had and destroyed their
property. and after rest Of an hour or
so we started TO retrace our steps 10
ward home.
We camped in the hills that night and
the next day we marched about ten
miles to the town of Bilar, and stayed
there that night. The next morning
we started for the town Of Lobuck,
which was twelve miles distant, and we
had gone no more than half way when
we were ambushed by the insurgents IN
a dense woods, who opened fire on US
from both sides of the road. They were
entrenched on the hillside about halt
wav up the hill, which was about one
hundred feet high. The googooS were
about half way up this hill, and they
opened fire on US from their trenches
with two one-pound guns and about
twenty rifles. They fired into the ma
die Of our column. There were LOO oil
us and a lot Of pack mules ana ponies,
making quite long column Inc HFsJ
vclley they fred one man OF company l
was shot through the back, and TWO OF
our boys were wounded. We had quite
a scrap, but we got too hot for them,
and soon routed them, capturing two OF
their guns and killing lot Of them.
We renewed our march after we had
run the insurgents away. We made
litter to carry the wounded man, who
was shot through the back, and the 9TH
err boys rode ponies. We carried the
first named about two miles, when we
stopped to rest, and the doctor said he
dldn think he would live long 50 we
started on again and was helping to
carry him when he died. We buried
him at the town of Lobuck. The next
day we resumed our march homeward
and reached here on the 18th, and here
am ready for another scrap. viii
close, as it is getting late. Will write
more next time. AdioS.

THERE is good deal Of talk these
days about the suficiency of employ
ment at good wages for everybody
who really wants to work, but there
is another side to the question that is
becoming serious-the great increase
in the price of almost every necessity
of life. The coal barons, with their
absolute monopoly both of the mines
and the railroads, have been putting
up prices each month, until anthracite
coal has become a luxury, with soft
coal not far behind. Every sort of
manufactured goods seems to be
jumping up in the same way, and it is
probably true that the cost of living
in the United States is now greater
than at any time in the history Of our
country.
And the worst feature of the matter
is that the exorbitant profits are not
going to increase the general prosper
ity of the people, but are simply In
creasing to colossal figures the fortunes
of the few men who operate the trusts
that control the articles.

THE issue seems 10 be Joined between

The issue seems 10 be joined between
the United States SteelCorporation and
the Amalgamated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers A last con-
ference was held on Saturday between
President Schwab, ]. Pierpont Morgan
and other representatives Of the Steel
Trust on the one hand, and President
Sbaffer and his fellow-ofiicers of the
Association on the other. The tive
parties entirely failed to agree on terms
and indeed got further away from each
other than they had been before. 1t
was announced that no more confer
ences will be held and that there will
be fight to the finish the trust hav-
ing made this forcible statement:
1T will be a fight TO the finish. No
quarter will be given. Weare prepared
TO spend all the money and time neces-
sary to wipe out the Almalgamated AS
ISOLATION in all of our mills"
President Shaffer says that he will
call out the workmen in every iron,
steel and tin mill controlled by the
trust, and states that the men will
surely quit work within the next week.
There are over 200, 900 men employed
in the industries named, and if they
shall go out on strike the situation will
indeed be serious one.
1t seems extremely doubtful that
the strikers shall win. To start with,
a great many of them realize that the
trust is too rich and powerful for them
to contend with. 1t has already
opened several mills with non-union
labor, and the probability is that it
will be able to operate nearly all its
factories in the same way. The strik-
ers dare take no action preventing
others from taking their places, for
recent decisions in the courts have
shown that employers can get almost
any sort of injunction that they apply
for, onejudge having actually enjoined
the striker from arguing with other
workmen.
1t will be interesting to note the
political result of the strike, There
is no question that the iron workers
were promised almost anything they
asked last year, and whether they will
resent their present troubles when
they next go to the polls is a pertinent
question.

Plans are being drawn by Architect
Koch for a forty.story building to be
erected by John A. Butler. The
building, which will be located at the
northeast corner of Third street and
Grand avenue, will cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The mater
iaI will be iron and marble, it being
Mr.. Buffers intention TO secure beau
ty and substantially, regardless of ex-
pense, which, he asserts, will be quite
a secondary consideration.
The floors will be of tile and mosaic
work, and the walls will be handsome
ly frescoed. Work will begin without
delay, and it is expected the structure
will be completed in about three years.
The first twenty stories Of the pro-
posed block will be devoted exclusive
ly to Offices, eight floors will be divid-
ed into apartments for families, while
the top ten floors will be built for ho-
tel purposes.-Mllgauke Senttnele

A Snake Charms a Young Lady.

The power of snake to charm was
proven by an incident near McOGn-
= pellsville, Pa, on Thursday. Miss La
vinia Long, young lady, was return
;ng from McConnellsville to her home
We, vest of the Ridge. and as she became
tired G walking she sat down upon
r 70 beside the turnpike, between the
farms of ]. K. Tritle and Mrs. Sum
mers In few minutes large black
snake. of the racer species, came down
off the high bank along the road ana
approached to within couple OF yaras
Of her, and erecting the fore part OF
It's BODY stared her straight in the eye'
its head gently swaying to and fro
Miss Long says she became almost
helpless, a benumbed feeling took pos,
session of her; she was scared but ana
not seem TO be able to move and could
not take her eyes away from the gaze
of the reptile, which became immova-
Bile and made not sound. With a
strong effort the young woman arose
and got upon fence, the racer stealth
iIv followed her, its eyes fxed on her
and its tongue darting in and out IN
a bewildering manner. Just as Miss
Long began to feel dizzy and drowsy'
fairly hypnotized, team approached
and at the noise the snake glided OF.
Miss Long nearly lost consciousness
when rescued and since her experience
has been so nervous that it is almost
impossible for her to sleep. The men
of the team saw the snake, but could
NOT catch II.

Hundred Year Clubs

Are becoming numerous. The idea is TO
promote longevity. 1t is interesting TO
note, that the means through which long
life is to be obtained, is food and the stom-
ach. Long life and good health are not
possible unless the stomach does its work
properly. There is way to make it, if
1t does not HoStetter's Stomach Bitters

Everybody should try it to help nature
rid the blood OF all impurities. 1t pos
sesses valuable curative properties, and
as a specific for malaria, fever and ague,
it is unequalled. Don't fail to give it a
trial, but be sure you get the genuine.

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. j. Cheney e Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter-
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

Luray is typical old Virginia town
aud delightful place. The mountains
rise around it like the mountains
round about Jerusalem, and the beau
tiful valleys and the soft outlines of
the Blue Ridge present a scene of IN
spring loneliness. The Hawksbill
creek runs through the town, and
sometimes, we are told, runs over it.
The big tannery is the chief indus
try and employs large number of
workmen. A sight new to us was the
numerous wagons hauling bark from
the back country, and it seems to be
source of considerable revenue.
Someone has said that frst-class fire
is occasionally benefit to a town.
We do not want Luray to be benefited
in just this way, but the people could
vastly improve the town if they would
remove some Of the shabby old build
ings that dis6gure the main street, and
if the authorities would do their part
toward improving the streets and side
walks. The town has a rst-class
water supply, that comes from llmpid
mountain springs. This is feature
that we should like to see Shepherds
town initiate, for it is a great blessing
to have such water on tap. There are
two or three excellent hotels in Luray,
and two newspapers. We had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. Berrey, who
publishes the Courier, very credlta-
bic country paper.
The people of Luray are given to
hospitality. The writer was entertained
in three separate homes, and we want
right now to refute the insinuation that
we had to make the changes because our
hosts ran out of provisions as result
of our presence. We had our princi-
pal abiding place in the charming
home of DR.. W. L. Hudson, whose de-
lightful family made the arrival of
their guests pleasure and their de-
parture a source Of real regret. With
such homes as this and where such
kindness prevails, it is no wonder
that Virginia S reputation for hospital
ity is famous and that visitors are 10th
to leave Luray. We also spent part
of day most pleasantly at the home
of Mrs. Judd, at the foot of the noun
tain, four miles from Luray, and were
indebted to Mr.. Bradley for kind hos
pitalty. The delegates were all most
happily entertained and the unani-
nous verdict was that Luray is all
right.

Four masked men held up Balu-
more & Ohio passenger train short
distance east of Chicago last Thursday
night and made an attempt to rob the
train. They blew open one of the bag
gage cars, which they mistook for the
express car, but Of course got no money
They seemed afraid to go back to the
train for the express after their mistake,
and finally made good their escape.
No arrests have been made, though
big force of detectives are after the
bold robbers.

A Perfect Mammoth.

July II the st. Petersburg Academy
of Sciences received telegram from
the leader of the expedition which is
shortly to bring to st. Petersburg the
mammoth found, the dispatch from
Yakutsk, reporting that the expedition
arrived at that place on June IA. 1t
is proceeding by steamer up the river
and will then journey overland to
Kolymsk, which is 5000 versts off,
where it expects to arrive in ten weeks.
The mammoth found is unique of its
kind. It's hair, skin and flesh are
entirely preserved, and there are re-
mains of undigested food in its stom-
ach. This will certainly be one of the
most important discoveries made for
many years. To be sure, remains of
mammoths are not uncommon, but
only their bones and fragments of
their flesh and skin have so far been
preserved. In 1899 there was found
near the Lena river, in Russia, imbed-
ded in the ice, perfect mammoth,
but this was destroyed almost entirely
by the united attacks of the peasants,
who sold the ivory, and the dogs,
wolves and bears, which fed upon its
flesh. The bones and fragment of
the skin and hair were at last rescued
and preserved.

THE strike of the iron workers seems
impossible of success. A billion-dol-
lar corporation, backed up by the adj
ditional billions Of those interested in
it, is absolutely impregnable. 1t is
really stronger than the government
itself, for it has been proven that no
legislation can be enacted by Congress
that the great trusts oppose, and its
power over the courts is such that it
can obtain any sort of order or decis-
ion that it desires. All powerful and
merciless, the trust is bound to win if
it wants to.
