Manila, Jan. 13.-Medical authorities
here assert that n considerable portion
of the breaking down among American
residents of the Philippine islands is
due TO home sickness. The newspa-
pers of Manila are urging the United
States Philippine Commission to make
nm appropriation for n daily cabled
news service from the United States,
thus bringing Americans here into
closer touch with their home life.
a majority of the local papers, sew
eral army officers, civil officers and
others have promised subscriptions to
help meet the cable tolls for n three
months news service of 100 words n
day. An amount sufficient to cover the

Boulder, Colo, Jan. 12.-GSpecial TO
the Denver Republican.)-The oil re-
gion of this vicinity was the objective
point of n large number of people to-
day. Many of these came from Den
yer, Colorado Springs, Florence and
other points. The outsiders, in the
main. went out TO the wells in the
morning. This afternoon the crowds
went in carriages, on horseback and
on FOOT. Most of these stopped tenn
porarily at the Mckinley well No. 2,
where boring is going on below the
2,2OO-foot mark, where a vein of oil
was struck Friday night. The stay
there was short, but the stay at the
Arnold well. half a mile further north,
was of greater duration.
The casing in this well was complet-
ed to the sandstone this afternoon
about 100 o'clock. The well had been
allowed to fill with water and then
several pieces of pipe We're let down.
On this was put a cap so as to make
the water underneath act as a cushion,
as in an inverted bucket. Then piece
after piece was screwed on undl the
depth of 2,T2O feet was reached, when
the casing rested on the sandstone
formation beneath. The drill was then
let down. the cap broken and the wa
ter and oil came ND into the casing,

Robbery in an Arizona Town Results
Arrest of Outlaws.

Bisbee, Ariz., Jan. 13.-Naco. a Dor
der town, and one of the toughest in
all the West, was thoroughly aroused
over n robbery of $1,000 last night.
Cowboy Johnson, n well-knOwn char
acter over the Southwest. has been in
Naco for the past few days spending
thousands of dollars over the roulette
tables and at times has won heavily.
Last night he locked up in his trunk
5000 in Mexican dobies. John Richie
and Ben Crawford, who are particular
ly hard characters, set about to get
this money. They unlocked the trunk
and secured the money, but did not
escape before johnson appeared on
the scene. Two officers We're sum-
moned and proceeded to arrest Richie
and Crawford, who put up n hard
fight. Every maj pulled his gun and
n battle resulted in the wounding of
Crawford. Two of Captain Mossmin's
rangers appeared and succeeded in
placing them In jail. These men are
said to belong to n gang that has
caused the rangers great trouble and
whom they have been in pursuit of
for some time. Johnson, who was in
the midst of the fight, showed great
daring. He wears the most valuable
diamonds of any man in the territory
and is sought out generally by the
bandits,

SPECTATORS SHOW INTEREST
IN THE BOULDER OIL FIELDS

Nv 2 o'clock this had been completed
and the baler was let down TO take
out the water.
The cap had not been broken very
long when gas began TO pour out OF
the hole. Some of 1t was piped on to
one side and burned in n blaze per
haps three feet long and n foot wide.
This, to Boulder people. was quite Il
curiosity. AT night 1t looks especially
pretty to see natural gas burning.
Dealing in stock has already begun
Stock in the Headlight Oil Company,
which was placed originally at 2 and
some at ) cents. has risen to 10 cents,
with an upward tendency. Blocks OF
stock are being sold by the hundred
and even by the thousand.
Some claim that White Rock Is the
eastern limit of the field, because the
dip there is westward, the present
wells being between the mountain
slope on the west and Gun-Barrel hill
on the east. If the Riverside company
strikes oil this theory will be proved
at fault. II. ]. Matthews of Colorado
Springs is of the opinion that the dis
trict is a mile and n half wide and
from forty to fifty miles long. II
true, this would shut out some of the
eastern wells. The truth or fallacy OF
this position will be tested soon.

Addresses a Monster Meeting Of Boer
Observation-Disclosures Adopted.
Denver, Jan. 13.-The most earnest
appeal in behalf of a people struggling
for liberty ever heard in Denver was
delivered last evening at the Broadway
theater.
The orator was Webster Davis,
champion of the Beers and former as
siStant secretary of the interior; his
audience, the largest that could crowd
itself into that theater. Hundreds who
could not gain an entrance by the front
doors came in through the stage en-
trance, and either sat OF stood on the
stage, many behind the scenes.
AT I:3O o'clock, an hour before Mr..
Davis was introduced, there was not
a vacant seat in the theater, and for
fully an hour and n half longer thou.
sands of people tried to effect an en-.
trance. Those who We're disappointed
will have an opportunity of meeting
and hearing Mr.. Davis this afternoon
from 4 10 q o'clock, in the rotunda OF
the Albany.
No such scene ever before was wit
messed in the vicinity of the Broad
way. The various streets were
thronged with two streams of people
one pushing to the theater and the 9th
er coming away disappointed.
1t was n most appreciative audience
Mr.. Davis spoke for two hours, and
was necessarily interrupted with ap
plause, cheers and laughter.
Strong resolutions We're adopted urg
ing Congress to protest to Great Bri
tain against its course toward til,

WILL SUE RAILROADS.
Cattle Shippers Have Been Charged
Too Much.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-As a result of the
testimony given before the Interstate
Commerce Commission nj Chicago,
suits aggregating between S1,0oO,OO0
and S2.OOO,OOO will probably be brought
against the railroad companies operat-
ing lines between here and the Mis-
surf river, to recover charges illegally
made for the shipping of cattle.
The cattle interests throughout the
West are aroused over the disclosures
made hefOr. the commission, and n
movement is on foot to have the va
rious cattle growers associations com
bine with a view of bringing test cases
against the railroads. Legal authori-
ties declare thai there is little doubt of
the ability of cattle shippers to reeov-
er, and alsO TO compel the railroads TO
carry cattle from the river to Chicago
at 49, cents per 100 pounds, so long as
this rate pertains on packing house
products. The suits which are contem-
plated will be for u rccovery of the diff
ference between the tariff rates and
the rates paid on packing house prod
ucts since June, 1901, cattle being en-
titled to equal rates with packing
products.

The decision to canonize Joan of
Arc will be regarded by the French
as n delicate compliment to them
selves. In spite of the numerous
changes of political system that have
taken place in their country, the fell
low-countrymen of the future saint
cherish everything that makes their
history picturesque. So a stern Re
publican points with pride to the dis
tinguished figures of monarchial or
imperial times. II was only during
the great Revolution that the French
had a tendency to destroy the records
of a great past. The cult OF Joan Of
Arc is not professed only by those
who regret the old monarchy. All
true Frenchmen can adhere to 1t, no
matter what their political ideas may
be.

Hog receipts yesterday were not large
but good for Friday after 50 many
days Of light receipts. There were more
wagon deliveries than any former day
this week. que to the fact that the farm
ers are kept out Of the harvest fields by
the heavy rains. The buyers were early
on the market and remained until the
last hog arrived and was sold. The mar
ket opened five to ten cents higher and
held throughout the day and about all
got the ten cent advance. There were no
fancy or wei finished hogs on the market
but one car load Of medium heavy
weights was good enough TO bring $50.
Car load lots averaging around two hun
dred pounds sold for 1925 and s7.35, ac-
cording to evenncss and quality. Sellers
as a rule were not expecting any ad-
vance in prices at this time, but the
surprise was very agreeable to them. The
buyers claimed yesterday that the market

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 2O.-The speculative
liquidation which broke prices yesterday
was no longer in evidence today. but the
market slipped back into a rather pa
thetic condition, the dealings dropping
well below half a million shares again.
A large percentage was concentrated in
few leading stocks, notably United
States Steel Missouri Pacific, ST. Paul
and the Wabash. The evidence of sup
port for United States Steel was an ef-
fective influence in steadying the market.
as yesterdays sharp break in thtst stock
had unsettled sentiment in the wheat mar
ket. There was evidence of rebuying
stocks by the large interests which liqui-
dated yesterday and the day before. This
served to relieve a latent feeling that
the recent bull campaign had been a pre-
liminary 10 a prolonged bear campaign.
Todays strength was restricted 10 a few
points and was not very well maintained,
the closing being dull and heavy The
Southwesterns and St. Paul absorbed a
large share of the strength. st. Louis
Southwestern preferred rose nearly
points and in connection with a slightly
greater rise in Chicago & Eastern Illinois
gave rise to report that the latter road
was TO be purchased by the former The
movement in the western roads was not
accounted for by the crop news, which
was rather unfavorable as TO grain. The
Coalers were rather neglected and moved
in a narrow and irregular way. Reports
