Was an Ambush Rebellion.

Washington, j uly 23.-Maior
james Parker, of the adjutant gen.
erals department has compiled in
teresting statistics regarding the in
surrection in the Philippines. There
were 2,156 engagements with the
enemy, more or less serious, between
February 4, 1899, the date OF the
battle OF Manila, and April 30, 1902,
fixed as the virtual downfall of the
instruction. The larger proportion
OF these fights were attacks from
ambush OIL the American troops, or
sKirmishes in which only small de-
tachments took part.
"In almost no case in these en-
gagements, says Major Parker, "did
American troops surrender, or have
to retreat, or have to leave their
dead and wounded in the possession
of the enemy, Notwithstanding that
in many cases the percentage OF loss
was high. The number of troops
that have been transported to the
Philippines and have arrived there
upto July 16. last, was 4, 1875 officers
and 123,S03 men. The average
strength taken from monthly returns
for the period of the Instruction was
approximately 40, ee9. n
Major Parker summaries the casu-
alties OF the American army as fol.
lows: Killed or died of wounds, six.
ty. nine officers and 936 enlisted men;
deaths from diseases, forty-seven OF.
ticers and 2,535 enlisted men; deaths
from accident, six officers and 12J
enlisted men; drowned. six officers
and 257 enlisted men; suicide, ten of

MAYBE HE SAW THE BOWERY.
Alabama Police Chief Moved to Elo-
quence by Visit to Gotham.

UNION SPRINGS. Ala. July 6.-Chief
of Police Albion Hixson visited New
York last week, and this is what the
visit moves him to say:
"of all the special privileges we South
ern people enjoy in this century there
is none. perhaps, for which We ought
TO be more thankful than an oppor-
tunity to visit New York city. We have
met in this great city the greatest peo-
ple in America.
These are such generous people to-
ward the South. and they have done
all other cities in the United States-not
on the basis OF conquest-for New York
city has solemnly sworn that American
swords shall never clash again-but her
noble sons wed fair Southern maidens,
and Southern lads have welded New
York daughters.
Through the influence of New York
the North and South now say to each
other, We advocate a wholesale ma
tional marriage day. Eoble sons Of
America, go seek your brides whereso-
ever you may find them,'
After once visiting New York, and
enjoying the pleasure OF meeting her
most excellent citizens face to face, we
almost imagine ourselves as the angels
on the ark OF the American covenant
the angel of the North and the angel
of the South, SO long looking in different
directions because of honest ignorance
OF each others real worth-now standing
face to face with outspread wings of
brotherly love"

NO MORE PISTOLS

Their Sale Goes Into

COLUMBIA, S. c.. July 6.-The pocket
pistol and cannon crackers are things OF
the past in South Carolina, according to
the law. Neitrer may be sold. owned
or used within the limits of the Pal
motto State. 1t is now no longer ques-
ticn CT having the pistol concealed; the
pocket variety cannot be held in the
hand or buckled about the person, nor
can it be kept in stock by dealers. On
the sane principle that the big fire.
crackers are menace to those who use
them. endangering life and limb. they
are ''Doliced'' out of the State.
The new law was passed more than a
year ago, with the proviso that it should
go into effect July /, 1862. This has given
merchants ample time to dispose of
their stocks, and The last days of June
saw a lively trade in pistols.
The smallest fircarm that may be le-
gally owned must weigh not less than
pounds and be 20 inches in length.
Nothing smaller can be carried, whether
concealed or exposed. The punishment
for the sale of an Illegal pistol is a

former gets half of the fine. As there
is not great profit in the business, it
is probable that few pistols will here
after be sold in South Carolina. With
the less of pistols to the countrymen
whites and blacks. the number OF armed
men must grow less.
Almost every young negro in the coun-
try districts is armed with pistol. And
to that weapon they resort the instant
they become angry. They shoot each
other on the most trivial provocation-
often in dispute over cards or craps,
when the amount involved is no greater
than 10 cents. The young whites are
very generally armed. and the more ig-
norant classes as readily refer to the
pistol. Their pistols are of the cheap
varieties. costing from S1.50 to $3.50 If
the new law is enforced. in the course
Of couple Of years it will result in

amounts of the metal In an almost pure

Near Oroville the stream debouches
on a plain at the foot of canyon and
has covered about 10000 acres with
earth, which contains much of the gold
mined in the primitive days OF Cali
fornia's mining industry. The recovery
of this gold at a profit has been made
possible by. development of long-dis-

of California.
By long-dlstance current motors
which drive the dredging machinery are
operated at a low cost-New York Sun.
