TIL" HELERY WINS HIS WAGER.
Shoyels Big Load Of Coal Into His
Cellar.

A two-horse wagon load OF coal backed
up in front of FIJI" Helery's saloon on
Third street. opposite the Merchants Ex-
change, yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Helery
was inside the saloon discussing the opera
tons OF the Beef Trust and other monopo-
lies with a party OF brokers from on change
when the driver entered with the ticket for
Mr.. Helsry to sign
Here's another trust" said Mr.. HeIery,
scanning the ticket and sizing up the load
Of coal. This Coal Trust is no better than
the Beef Trust. This ticket calls for 100
bushels of coal. I'll bet there amt 100
bushels on that wagon"
'Oh, yes, there is.' said Med johnson,
one Of the party. Don't let your hatred Of
think you'd be very tired shoveling all over
100 bushels out Of that wagon"
'Whatf' said Mr.. Helery. Why. could
shovel that whole load into the cellar With
out wetting q hair
Bet YOU s. you can't" said johnson
"Fn take you." said Helsry.
ITS q 60" said johnson. producing his
roll. Peel of your clothes and get to
work.
HeIery looked at johnson, then at the IS
bill. then at the load Of coal and hesitated
for a moment. The party Of brokers began
moment Helery covered the IS bill. took off
his hat, coat and vest and started for the
sidewalk, decarfhE that he was game
The brokers followed him, never dreaming
that he was in earnest, but keeping up q
IRE Of bantering remarks.
Helsry isn't built for shoveling coal. He
couldn't earn 30 cents q year feeding the
furnaces in The gashouse, and when be saw
the task ahead OF him he would have
backed out, but the gfbes Of his companions
goaded him into making his blufI good.
6eizing the shovel he spat on his hands and
plunged into the work with an enthusiasm
that made the astute coal driver Entcker.
The piunsing of the first shovelful into
the coal hole was the signal for a shout
from Heiery's companions that brought
every broker on Third street to the scene
Before Helery had been at work ten min
utes there was a crowd Of probably 100
brokers about him. Interested spectators.
and he was made the butt Of tnnpmerable
gtbes and Jokes. He bore 1t all good
naturedly and bent to his work In earnest
The strain was too mucn for him, and he
was compelled to take numerous rests. The
chaffinE OF the brokers. however, only rnade
him the more determined to win the wager
and he stuck to his task with dogged per-
sistence, although his hands were badly
"Whev!" he said. when he stopped to rest
for the sixteenth time. 81 never knew be-
fore that any wagon ever built could hold
90 much coal"
When he finally completed the task he
was 80 exhausted that he had to be assisted
to his room.

Cabinet Yesterday Considered
Terms of Official Announce
ment to Be Made to Filipinos.
STATE OF PEACE NOW EXISTS.
All Political Prisoners TO Be Re
leased and Permitted TO Par
ticipate in Civil Govern
ment of the Islands.

Washington. June 27.-At a meeting of the
| Cabinet to-day. the terms of amnesty
proclamation 10 the Filipinos. which 1t Is
contemplated to Issue on the Fourth OF
July, were agreed upon. The War Depart
ment. for some time past, has had under
consideration the draft OF a proclamation
and has found II necessary 10 make
number OF changes in its text In its
| modified state. II was agreed to by the
Cabinet to-day and Secretary Root will
cable il 10 Acting Governor Wright for his
inspection. II 1t meets the latter's ap-
proval. nothing will remain but for the
President. II the Philippine civil govern
ment bill Is law on that day, as is now
expected it will be. to issue on Independ-
ence Day a formal proclamation setting
forth terms of amnesty for all political Of
tenders in the islands, including Aguinaldo
and those held at Guam.
The proclamation is based on the general
objects of the Philippine Government bill.
namely. to restore peace in the archipelago
and substitute a civil for military ad-
ministra ton. That bill is now in confer
ence, and the proclamation will not be is
Eued until the Philippine government
measure has been agreed upon by both
houses and the President has affixed his sig
nature 10 IL.
Says state of Peace Now Exists
The proclamation will declare that a state
Of peace now exists in the Philippine
Islands. save in the parts of the arohipels-
go where the Mindanao or pagan tribes are
giving the United States a great amount Of
trouble. and will declare in effect that.
with the transfer of the government of
the archipelago from a military to a civil
status all those arrested and held for po-
litcal offenses shall be restored to liberty,
granted full amnesty and allowed to par
be inaugurated in the islands
While the proclamation Is subject to
changes in text, the general language Of the
document is Iretty we'll mapped out. There
was a general discussion to-day OF the treat
ment that should be accorded the political
prisoners OF the islands. There IN no in
tention, 1t is stated, to release those pris-
oners convicted Of other than political Of
lenses. the benefits OF the amnesty being
limited to those In custody as a result OF
breaches OF military law, leaving criminal
offenders to the action OF the proper author
tiles under the coming civil government.
The purpose is TO demonstrate that motives
OF humanity and generosity dictate our
course toward the Philippines
When the islands are turned over to the
civil authorities they viii not be left with
out adequate military protection. no
more troops will be ordered home for the
present and every precaution will be taken
for the military safeguarding OF the islands
under the new civil administration.
