-Conspiracy to Burn Manila Discovered A Justice of the Filipino Supreme Court Caught Smuggling Arms and Ammunition From Hong Kong.

The NUGGET is indebted to Ma lor c. "A. Booth, commanding at Fort Davis, for the following interesting batch of news, which was wired from Fort Gib- bon, March l6:
 Major P. II. Ray, Sth infantry, has been promoted to lieutenant colonel of the 7th infantry and ordered to the Philippines to take command of the battalion of his new regiment on the 'island of Samar.
 Capt. Benjamin Hartshorne, 7th in- fantry, was recently killed on the island of Samar.
 The entire 7th infantry in the United States and Alaska has been ordered to Joe recruited to full strength, and are to be sent to the Philippines as soon as practicable. vLieut. Preston Brown. 2d infantry, was tried by court martial for ordering an escaping Filipino to be shot. He was sentenced to. be dismissed, but Sec .retary of War Root has recommended IlaU sentence Dt bO loSo Ol 30 files and half pay for nine months.
 Conditions in the Philippines are re- rported as bad. The islands are mot yet ready for civil government, which gives no authority to the military.
 A big conspiracy to burn Manila has been discovered. An ex-officer of vol unteers on the police force unearthed the conspiracy by whipping native suspect, and was rewarded by the loss Of his. position.
 G .jsstice of the -Filipiao supreme court has been caught smuggling arms and ammunition from Hong Kong.
 Malvar is heading revolt on the island of Luzon, and Lukban heads that on Samar. Stern measures are now enforced against both. All peace able F'ilipinos are required to live in large towns under guard, and all Out- side are regarded as hestiles. Some believe that Judge Taft favo1s this plan and will endeavor to induce Presi- dent Roosevelt to indorse it. At last accounts Judge Taft was en route to Washington from San Francisco.
 The visit of Prince Henry of Ger many to the United States has been postpeaed on account of the death of President EOosevelt's son.
 The King of Siam is to visit the United States as the guest of the nation.
 Conditions in the United States seem fine; everything quiet and the country prosperous.
 On March l6 Major Green wired from St. Michael, "We have had no mail or news from the states later than Nov. 20. Mails arc. piled up on the tundra some where near Ilamna bay; it is nottlikely we will get any before navigation opens."

City COncil Takes Action to
 Peoples interests.
WILL FILE PROTESTS
City Attorney Suggests Filing Pro- tests Against Pending Applications for Patents and an Intervention in tine District Court.

= The matter of securing patent for the townsite of Nome was introduced by Councilman Stevens at the regular meeting ef the city fathers on Monday evening. After a few remarks the matter was referred to the city attor- ney. who reviewed the situation thor oughly, stating what patents were now pending or being applied for and point. ing out what action should be taken immediately.
 He stated that $. C. Simpson had applied for patent on a placer claim of 20 acres, the claim being staked on Jan. ?, 1900. "Their location is a fraud on the face of it," said Attorney Hoggatt, ''as the location reads 20 acres of mining grouno within the city of Nome. which shows that at the time of location the municipality existed, the matter by the secretary of the in- ,el.ior ohe would see that the city of Nome existed prior to the location ond, therefore, had first location and rights" The Nome-Sinook company had filed an intervention against the Simpson company, claiming all right, to the ground from the cemetery to Nome river.
 The, city attorney suggested acting immediately by filing protest with the land office at St. Michael and also sending copy to the secretary of the interior, and to file an intervention in the district court at Nome.
 On motion of Councilman Valentine the city attorney was instructed to take such steps as were necessary to protect the city in relation tC estopping fur ther proceedings by Simpson and the Shook Mining Company and securing the patent for the townsite for the city. The fire committee, who are investi- gating the delay of the fire department in getting up steam at the fire in Archer, Ewing x Co.'S warehouse on Saturday, asked for and were granted further time to investigate.
 On motion of Councilman Valentine, the judge, clerks and inspectors who served at the special election on Nov. 3Oth, and who rendered their services gratis, were appointed to serve at the coming election, being as follows: Judges G. B., Baldwin; inspectors, Geo. A. Shea, C. A. Mitchell: clerks, r. H. Watt, J. E. Ivory. The polling place will be in the city jail, which is'3OO feet from any saloon, as provided in the election ordinance. k. J. Park tend cred his vacant building on Front Street, the old City Bakery, for that purpose, but the council decided on the jail building.
 The city council granted Geo. H.. Dawson, of the Second Glass, permis- sion to,keep the messenger office open on election day, and also to do repair ing in the building.

THEY HAVE.

For long time the ADVOCATE
has been urging the business men
of this city to organize that no
good thing be allowed to pass the
doors OF Mt. Sterling. That or
ganization has been effected by
electing w. r. Nunnelley Presi-
dent and William Strossman, Jr.,
Secretary. The attendants at ihe
two meetings held were enthusias-
tic and it was the representative
business men who participated.
Already capital is being inter
ested and it may be our people
will be enabled to land some pay
ing industries. One concern has
asked what inducements our peo-
pie can offer for a factory with a
weekly pay roll Of 81, 500. If we
are successful in locating a few
such enterprises our people will
begin to realize what good there is
to come out Of organization.
1t costs only S2.OO per year to
become a member of this organi-
zation, and if we would get the
best results we must pull together.

With the entanglements and
mysteries connected with the kill

the evidence in the Jim Howard
trial was we'll connected and the
murderer deserves nothing short
Of death it was wise in the jury to
inhict life sentence rather than
death, because the prisoner should
have the benefit of doubt.

Honesty on the Streets.

In a recent book Of travels in China
special point is made of the general
honesty Of the people, as illustrated
by the numerous stalls and shops that
are left to look after themselves with
out danger of theft. But one does not
have to 90 to China to see that. Small
stalls and stands in New York are safe
with the public. The sight Of news
stand with no one near to serve Gus
toners is common. The length of
time the proprietor has absented him
self can be guessed with some accu-
racy by the number Of pennies which
customers have deposited as they have
helped themselves TO papers. No one
ever steals from them.-N. Y. Post.

of Monday by the Eastern capital
lists to see the reservoir at Slate
Greek. They were well pleased
with their property. An exhibi-

made from two MIGRANTS near the
Baumont Hotel, showing greater
force than from our powerful stedE
engines.
An informal meeting was held at
the Ranmnnt Hotel and sneeches
were made by local representatives
and the various officers Of the;
company. Among the visitors
were the following from Wilkes
barre, Pa: A A. Sterling, d. w.
Mulligan, Geo. p Kirkendall, Jno.
b. Reynolds. These gentlemen
spoke in regard to our resources,
not only at Mt. Sterling, but East
of us. They assured our people
that they were not only willing to
enter into any laudable enterprise
Of ours with their sympathy, but
with their money. -
The meeting at the Hotel was
happy one from the fact that
everybody seemed to have faith in
one another and were ready to press
on to any good work. A feeling
existed among those present that
they all desired to help. Mt Ster-
ling is the best business town in
the State and it will only take "a
little ''hustle" to make us the bSkf
town in the South. These people,
with plenty of money to back them
are interested in us and have ex-
pressed their desire and Willingness
to take hold. Now let the old
"hoss' with moss on his back "go

sive men pull together while we
may.

their homes and will return some
time during the summer.
