Taft Promises a vagrancy Bill for
Cavite.

MANILA, Ocl. -o.--Governor Tar,
discussed the suppression Of ladronisn
in Cavite at conference held there
with the presidentes of twenty-five
towns of Cavite province. He told the
assembled presidentes that they and
their people must unite and work for
the suppression and punishment OF
crime. The presidentes promised to or
ganize volunteers for this purpose in
each town. They asked Governor Taft
to secure the passage Of vagrancy act
that would reach ladrones and disso-
lutte Americans and foreigners.
Many discharged soldiers and other
foreigners make their homes with the
natives, and tho influence Of these men
is often bad. The government has been
asked to secure the deportation Of such
persons, but UP to the present time it
them. Governor Taft promised the
presidentes to draw UP vagrancy bill
covering these conditions. vi
General Davis has issued q general
order drawing attention to the careless
ness Of officers and mon of the army
in the matters OF dress and discipline
and characterizing the neglect in these
respects as extraordinary. The order
also refers specifically to the careless
ness in making reports and drawing up
other records and directs commanding
officers to insist upon reform in these
matters.

BAsYLoNlAN Discoveries.
The Nippur Explorations Discussed
by Professor HiIprecht.

by Professor Hilprecbt.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct %. Profess
or Hilprecht in the third lecture of the
course on 'The History and Results of
the Four Babylonian Expeditions Of
the University OF Pennsylvania" here
took up the story of the researches
from the time of the return of the ex-
piorers to Nippur in 1890 after having
then abandoned the work temporarily
because of the hostility Of the Arabs.
In the interim, he said, an epidemic OF
cholera had swept throughout the coun-
try, which In measure the arabs at
tributed to the exercise of superhuman
powers by the explorers as a punish
ment for their wrongdoing.
Work was resumed on the mound
covering the temple of Baal with much
larger forces of men. Within q short
time the whole Of the Parthian fortress
built on top Of the temple ruins was
uncovered.
Professor Hilprecht said that among
other discoveries there was found in
one of tho chambers Of tie outer wall
q large number of tablets and other OBJ
jects Of lapis lnzuli and other sub
stances, the cuneiform, Samaritan and
Semitic inscriptions ON which showed
them TO date back to periods 5000
years b. Q. When the fortress was de-
stroyed, they were in the hands of
jeweler..
.'The history of one of these little tab
let's" said Professor Hilprecht, lis
plainly written thereon and assuredly
substantiates the truth of the Biblical
story of Abraham. Three thousand
years before Christ it was owned by
king, who presented it to a deity SO
that he might have long life. This fact
he inscribed thereon. when Nippur
was overthrown, the conqueror carried
this tablet with their other spells to
Susa.
after lapse Of nearly 1,200 years
from the date of the inscription it was
retaken by another king and again
placed in the temple. This time Sec
ond inscription was engraved upon the
reverse side relating these facts. Hun
dreds of years after the jeweler Sc
cured it,

ORDER TO ARREST WOMEN
Taunts or Strikers Must Stop, Says
General Gobin--Strong Protest to
Governor Stone.

A special from Tamaqua, Pa, says:
Strike leaders went from door to door
In the Panther creek valley Friday
night spreading the news of Gobin's
order and his instruction to shoot
and shoot to Kill, If molested in any
manner. That the words of the COM
Inanding officer have had at least a
temporary effect was shown Satur-
day when the troops escorted several
non-union men to work without being
molested in any way. Companies i
and F went out at daylight with their
guns loaded and their best markesmen
on the flank. When the soldiers passed
the crowds Of strikers on the way theJ
deliberately turned their back on
them. However, there was no hoot'
ing or jeering.
Supplementing his first order, Gen
eral Goblin has directed Major Gear
hart, in command at Tamaqua, to ar
rQSt all women and girls who insult
the troops in any way. The opinion
seems to prevail among the officers
and citizens that the lull in the riot
ing will last but a short time. The
fact that more men lave gone to work
Is not calculated to improve the ten'
per Of the strikers.
General Goblin Denounced.
The Central Labor Union Of Phlla-
delphia, at its regular meeting Sun
day, unanimously adopted a resolution
denouncing Brigadier General ]. P. S.
Goblin, in command Of the troops now
on duty In the anthracite coal fields,
for issuing an order calling on his
men to shoot the strikers If they re-
sist the authority of the troops. The
resolution sets forth that it is illegal
for the general to issue an order to
kill citizens Of Pennsylvania who are
guaranteed a trial by jury for any Of
fense they may commit. The resolu-
tions request Governor Stone to re-
woke the commission OF General 1o'
Lin and the civil authorities are asked
to have the general indicted and tried
for Threatening the lives OF citizens
of the state of Pennsylvania"
The secretary Of the union was IN
structed by the union 20 send letter
of protest to Governor Stone for the
alleged breakipc OF promise that ne
is said to have made to the three an
thracite district presidents, to the ef'
feet that he would not permit ne state
troops to escort non-union men to and
from the mines. 1t is claimed that
the governor made this promise 70

CRY TO ROOSEVELT
Sufferers from Coal Strike Lay
Blame on "King" Morgan.
APPEAL OF A PUBLIC ALLIANCE
Business Men of Anthracite Region
Declare Morgan Has Placed Ban
Upon Them which Means
Utter Ruin.

The Public Alliance, OF Wllkesbarre.
Pa. which has been endeavoring to
bring about a settlement Of the coal
strike in the interests Of the business
men Of the anthracite region, has sent
the following appeal to President
Roosevelt:
ITO the President of the United
States-Since the inception of the bar
barous and senseltss struggle In the
anthracite coal region, we, the non
combatants, who stand upon neutral
ground, have suffered the inevitable
fate of such unfortunates. The tide
OF battle ebbs and flows over and
above us. We have endured patiently.
We have petitioned humbly. We had
hoped for much upon ]. Pierpont Nor
gan's return.
But now, after a struggle of four
months duration, a period Of suffering
and business, paralysis, when 1t SEEM
ed to US that the time was propitious
for a settlement of some kind, Il not
as a matter of concession to public
opinion, yet as plan business propo-
sition, Mr.. Morgan has met with his
henchmen and the edict has gone
forth: There will be no settlement,
no arbitration, no conciliation, no me-
dfation, no concessions. The fight
must go on
"Mr. Morgan has placed ban upon
US which means universal ruin, dest''
tuition, riot and bloodshed.
Is ]. P. Morgan greater than the
people? Is he mightier than the gov
ernment? Will he be permitted to re-
tain this menacing power?
"It Is time that the people should
speak. It IS time that their voices
should be heard.
Representing interests and sent-
ments of ninetenths Of our people, We
appeal to you to use your influence
to stay the juggernaut which crushes
US. Encouraged by your recent utter-
ances, relying upon your judgment anc
patriotism, confident Of your mora
courage, we appeal from the king OF
trusts to the president Of the people,

MAN AND WIFE MURDERED.
Bloody Work Of Would-Be Robbers
Near Bronson, Florida.

Bloody Work of WouId-Re Robbers
Near Bronson, Florida.
LIB Lewis, a prominent and veal
thy citizen Of Florida, and his wife
were found murdered about 8 o'clock
Friday night and the entire county is
shocked and aroused over the horri-
BILE affair.
The tragedy occurred at their resi-
dence. five miles south Of Bronson,
and was not known until Saturday
morning. They had returned from
their sons residence, a short distance
away. and Mr.. Lewis was preparing to
retire when two loads OF bucksnot
ended his life.
From ths indications at the scene
OF the MURDER. Mrs. Lewis was nearby
writing when her husband was shot,
and when she rushed to his assistance
a ball was fred from a rife, penetrat-
ing her mouth. This, it seems, did
not prove fatal, and she managed IL
reach his side, when load OF shot
was fired which ended her life, and
she fell across his lifeless form, and 1t
was in this position they were found.
It was learned than an effort had
been made to rob the safe during his
absence. which proved futile, and it Is
believed that fear of detection by Mr.
Lewis caused the robbers to co mmlt
the crime The belief is that the muir
der WAS committed by two parties and
the general impression is that they are
white mea who are acquainted with
the premises and knew OF his wealth.

Auditor Brewton Suicides.

Auditor R. Eber BreWton, OF spar
tanburg, killed himself by cutting his
throat with razor at his home last
Sunday morning.
For six months Mr.. Brewton had
been in declining health and been una
bic in a large measure to attend to
the duties of his Office. He was gal
liant soldier in the civil war, and re-
ceived two wounds-one in the head
and the other in the body-from which
he suffered greatly, and were perhaps
the indirect cause of his rash act. He
was honest and upright, and univer-
sally liked throughout the county.
The governor will probably appoint
some one to fill the office of county
auditor until January, when his regu-
lar successor will qualify.

ORIGIN OF CYCLONES.
Rotation Of the Earth Factor In
Their Formation.


Their Formation.
Professor Cleveland Able treats
thus Of the origin Of cyclones In the
Monthly Weather Review: 1--WE OBJ
ject to the expression, When winds
are blowing in opposite directions
near the place where the volume OF
air rises we may have WhirlW1nd or
cyclone It was an old observation
that eddies of water are formed be-
tween currents moving In opposite
directions or between swift current
and a body Of quiet water. Having
once been formed, the eddies move
away, and arc soon broken up by fric'
ton and irregular motions. Anaiog
Gus to these are the eddies OF wind
And dust blowing around the corners
of a building; but the whirlwinds OF
meteorology, viz, the water spouts.
tornadoes, hurricanes ard typhoons,
involve a different principle. These
may form between winds blowing IN
opposite direct ions, but the logical
mechanics is, first, an lndraught OF
air toward the center, producing gen.
tie winds; then the detection of the
winds by the rotation OF the eartn'
producing strong whirls. SO far as
the direct indraught is concerned, 1t
can only produce winds blowing from
all sides straight to the center, where
they might possibly rise up and how
back upon themselves so that eacn
particle of air might move In nearly
vertical plane. The Irregularities OF
the earth's surface or inequalities OF
friction or temperature, or moisture
may induce horizontal whirls in con-
hection with the vertical motion, but
they will be as often to the right as
to the left. 1t is to the credit of Fer
rel that he demonstrated that cur
whlrlwinds actually owe their direc'
tions of whirl wholly to the rotation
of the earth on it's axis, and he es-
pecially opposed the idea that whirl'
winds are formed as a consequence
of or between winds blowing in oppo-
site directions. It is perfectly true
that when we have whirlwind the
al. is moving in nearly opposite direc-
tions on opposite sides OF the storm
center; therefore, when the weather
map shows us spirally incurving winds
on the opposite sides of an area OF
low pressure we may think OF these
opposing winds as constituting a cy'
clone whirl, or a whirlwind, but not
causing it. About 1896 Professor
Ham showed that in some storms
there is often an absence of buoyarcy
in the cloud region, and that, there
fore we must look elsewhere for the
force that maintains the whirlwinds.
There Is, therefore, a ,ende1>cy to al
low that the general currents OF the
atmosphere must contribute their sur
plus energy to the maintenance or
hurricanes and cyclones. However
this may be, the initial whirl is, we
suppose, always due to the systematic
detection of inblowing winds by the
diurnal rotation of the earth

CRITICAL IN STRIKE REGION.
More Soldiers Dispatched to Quell DIS.
turbances-Several Clashes Oc-
cur and Others Expected.

A special from Tamaqua, Pa. says:
The situation In the Panther creek
district is serious. At 8 o'clock Wed
nesday the streets Of Lansford and
Summit Hill were thronged with strik'
CTS. Early in the evening two COM
panies of the Twelfth regiment were
sent through the valley on trolley
cars All along the soldiers were
hootcd and jerred and it was not deem
ed prudent to take them of the cars.
While Mary Markley was carrying
supper to her brother. who Is employ
ed at a colliery near Lansford, she
was set upon and severely beaten oy
a crowd of women. Late during the
night the crowds on the streets dwin-
d.ed down considerably and order has
been partially restored. The civil au-
thorities express the belief that there
will be no serious disturbance. They
are fearful, however, that a serious
clash will occur between the troops
and the strikers later on The fact
that the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company is hoisting coal at It's No. 4
20 liery has greatly incensed the mine
workers. especially the foreigners, and
they are determined not to allow non
union men to go to work.
The governors troops and the tirst
battalion of the Twelfth regiment Will

the strikers continue to interfere with
the non-union men it is probable That
both the towns will be placed under
martial law.
The Governors Troop, under com
mand of Captain OFT, left Shenandoah

household goods volley Of shots was
fired at the officers from the opposlee
side of the river. They returned tns
fire, using winchesters, and 1t IS estl'
mated that 800 shots were fired. The
shooting was all at long range and no
