MORE ALLEGED BOODLING.
Street Construction I'm 81. Louis Said
to Have Been Used ss a Me-
dunn for Graft.

st. Louis, Oct. 4.-The grand jury
was called, Thursday afternoon, to
investigate charges of boodling in
connection with the construction of
streets in st. Louis.
According to a report prevalent at
the four courts, information came to
William Baggott, member of the
grand jary, that certain paving in
spectors have received money from
the contractors influencing them to
pass Inferior work and material,
which they are supposed to disap-
prove.
That Doodle was used to influence
the work of certain inspectors is said
to have been reported direct to Mr..
Baggott by the man who acted as GO
between for the contractors and in
spectols. Mr.. Baggott being a prop
erty owner on Union boulevard, had
more than usual interest in the re-
ports, and is said to have carried on
a quiet investigation before reporting
the matter to Circuit Attorney Folk,
who advised that the grand jury be
cOnye0ed.

THE MAcIU MoROs ROUTED.
mao, Has Completely Routed
the Maeiu Moros.

Manila, Oct. Capt. John J.
Pershing's column has completely
routed the Maciu Maros, in the is
land of Mindanao, killing or wound
ing a hundred of them, and capturing
and destroying 40 forts. Two Ameri-
,ans were wounded.
On Tuesday, the Maros retired to
their largest and strongest fort on
the lake shore, and Wednesday Capt.
Pershing attacked them with artil-
lery, bombarding the enemy for three
hours. At noon, Lieut.. Loring, lead
ing a sqaal of men, attempted to set
fire to the fort. He crept under the
walls and started a blaze but the
Moros discovered him and forced the
Americans to retreat.
During the afternoon the sultan of
Cabugalan led to a sortie at the head
of a band of fanatics armed with
krises. They crept through the grass,
and sprang up and attacked the Amer
leans. The sultan was wounded six
times, and bo,oed an American before
he died. His followers were killed.
In the darkness, wednesday night,
Capt. Pershing took his batteries
within a hundred yards of the fort,
closed in his infantry lines and re-
sumed the attack. The Moros broke
through twice, and attempted to es-
cape by the beach, but were discov-
cred, and many of them were killed.
The Moros abandoned the fort early
on Thursday, after Is hours bonn
bardment, and, Thursday, Capt. Per-
shing destroyed the rest of the forts
and returned to Camp Wears.
1t is believed the moral effect Of the
defeat of the Moros will be great.
Gen. Davis has ordered that hos
tilities be stayed in order to permit
the sultan of Bacolod and other hos
tai sultans to make peace.

HINDERED BY HEAVY RAINS.
The Army Maneuvers at Fort Riley
Suspended On Account of
Indictment Weather.

Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. Another
fierce storm, more severe than that of
the earlier part of the week, swept
over Camp Root Friday and put a
temporary end to the FRI
day night the storm was still raging
and the prospects are not reassuring,
although the weather bureau has
scheduled fair skies and warmer
weather. The storm commenced
Thursday night with a gentle fall Of
rain, but during the night the winds
rose and the rain increased to a
heavy downpour which, driven by the
wind, forced it's way into every tent
in the camp. The ground was in such
a condition, by eight o'clock that Gen.
Bates declared the days maneuvers
OFT until further notice. He had a
lingering hope that the gray skies
might clear away and decent over
head weather give him a chance to
carry out the days programme, but
by ten o'clock all chance of carrying
out the plans of the day had faded.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Postmast. r.
General Payne hns addressed a cir.
cular letter to all officers and EN-.

CoMMENDS SECRETARY SHAW,
The London Statfst On the "BOId and
Statesmanlike Action of Secre-
tary Of the Treasury shaw"

London, Oct. 5.-The Statist says
that the feeling on the stock ex-
change, where the week began in
gloom, was very rapidly changed by
the bold and statesmanlike action of
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who
has shewn a readiness to assume re-
sponsibility and face a grave emer-
gency which ought to arm him a
high reputation among his country
men.
The Statist credits Mr.. Shaw with
saving the money market trouble by
casting aside routine traditions and
adopting a policy which had hither-
to been supposed to be forbidden by
law. The paper attributes the strin-
gency in Wall street entirely to un-
wise banking legislation, and an anti
quated treasury system, which with
holds vast sums OF money from the
public in times of exceptional de-
mand.

Sensational EVIDENCE.
Testimony Of Former Councilman
Fred. G. Uthoff in the Sny.
der Trial at st. Louis.
4 NARRATIVE OF SHAMELESS BRIBERY.
The Star Witness Was the Highest
Priced One of the Lot, But Wss
Bunkoed Out of His Money After
He Had Possession of It-Undes
salary to q Corporation.

st. Louis, Oct. 3.-The trial of r. M.
Snyder, charged with bribery in Sc
curing the passage of the Central
Traction bill by the municipal as
sembly, is fully under way, and is at
tracing much attention from the
sensational character of the evidence
being adduced.
Frederick G. Uthoff is the states
star witness. He was a member Of
the city council at the time the bill
was passed. His testimony was a
most humiliating confession of moral
obliquity. He testified that he was
paid to oppose the Central Traction
I'LL; that Snyder offered him $780,.
900 for his aye vote in passing the
bill over the mayors veto and then
bunkoed him out of the money; that
he was paid by a St. Louis capitalist
$4,000 to introduce the United Trac-
ton bill; that another paid him and
other councilmen $4,000 a year to
vote as they were directed on GER
tain measures.
The evidence was the most sensa.
tional ever given in this city and ri.
vailed that in the famous Tweed case
in New York.
The courtroom was packed by an
interested throng who watched the
play of counsel for the defense in
their efforts to prevent the introduc.
ton of damaging testimony, and the
steady determination of Circuit At.
torney Folk to bring out every detail
of the shameless work of the munich.
