MORE TROUBLE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Moros in Mindanao are renewing
their attacks upon the outposts and pack
trains of the American column at Lake
LanaO. The Americans have successfully
repulsed the Moro attacks and have
suffered no losses. The commanders of
the American forces in Mindanao report
aggressive action against the Moros to be
necessary, and ask permission to move
against BacolOd and other strongholds OF
the hostile Mohammedans. There are
about 1000 American soldiers in Min
danao available for the desired agrees
sive movement. Ii is believed this
number is sufficient to defeat the Moros,
although it would possibly be necessary
to strengthen their base before under
taking the movement. A force of native
constabulary engaged band Of ladrones
in a sharp fight last Saturday near
Caloocan, about four miles north of Ma
Mia. The arrival Of requirements for
the constabulary won them the victory.
Four members of the constabulaay were
killed and one was wounded. The
ladrones left three of their number dead,
but carried off their wounded. The chase
of the Cavite ladrones through the
mountains of that province continues.
Forces of native constabulary have had
encounters with the bands of Felizardo
and Montallon. Several of the ladrones
were killed or captured and quantity OF
their supplies was destroyed.

MORAL WAVE IN RICHMOND. The
ministers of Richmond have decided to
aid in every way that is within their
power the efforts to secure the cOnyic-
ton of the six gamblers who are charged
with violating the law Two pastors OF
Richmond Sunday referred in their pull
pits to the gambling cases, and one Of
them, Rev. J. 7. Tucker, spoke in no
uncertain tones. Rev. Mr.. Tucker,
pastor of East End Baptist Church, dur
ing his discourse Sunday night, said: 81
do not believe that there is in all Rich
mond or the country around single
citizen who, in observed recent events,
has not come to the positive conclusion
that there is corruption and fraud in the
police department and in the Oty Coun-
Gil. / implOre you to aid in throwing
light on the dark shadows that hang
over our city. If there is not some
change in the city government, we T.ay
expect anarchy and lynch law to prevail.
for we have no confidence in tb ose who
execute the laws" DIR. r. J Willing
ham, secretary of the foreign mission
board, also discussed this question dur
ing sermon delivered at the Grace
Street Baptist Church. DIR. Wilingham
appealed to his people to do all in their
power to see that the city government
was not corrupt This they could do,
not by whining, but by going to the
polls and putting good and true men in
office. Tho Christians of the conn IT,
nifty should take the government in their
own hands, ne said, and not let it be
run by politicians.

To FIGHT CoTToN SEED OIL TRUST.
A big cotton seed oil corporation was in
corporated at Charlotte, n. c., yesterday
by the secretary of state which has for its
object the undoing of the Virginia-Caro-
lima Chemical Compay, or what is com
monty known as the COtton-seed Oil
Trust. The incorporators are j. 5.
Spencer, president of the Commercial
National Bank of that city; w. E. Holt,
millionaire cotton mill manufacturer of
Charlotte; +. S. Gross, of South Caro-
lima. and C. w. Johnston, of Charlotte.
The capital stock of the corporation is
$3.50. 600, but this only represents a
portion of the money that is behind the
new venture. The head offices as well
as the plant of the refinery company will
be located in Charlotte. At present there
are eight or ten cotton oil mills in that
immediate section, and it is the purpose
of the new company to refine the output
ofthese mills that are run independently
of the trust. The scheme will be watched
with much interest.

BELIEVED TO BE A VIRGINIAN. "A
man who registered at the Hotel Cecil,
Boston. as ''Dennis A. Shanahan, " and is
believed to be travelling salesman, shot
himself twice in the lett breast yesterday
afternoon, with suicidal intent. Both
wounds are serious, and it is thought he
cannot live through the day. He ar
rived at the hotel at dusk Sunday even
ing. lie registered his address as Louis
vile, Ky, but from papers found in his
effects it is believed his home is in Ash
land. Va. He was seen in the hotel
lobby twice during the evening. He
retired about midnight and was not seen
or heard from until 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Shortly before that hour
two pistol reports were heard in the
corridor. A porter and two bell boys
rushed into the room. Shanahan was
living on the bed and blood was flowing
from two bullet wounds in the left
breast. A revolver of heavy caliber was
on the floor. He was unconscious and
efforts to resuscitate him met failure.
In his hand was clasped a telegram,
which read "E. A. Voolfolk, Ash
land, Va-Don't use Scotyille. See let
ter Ashland. ID. A. Shanahan." The
porter gave the alarm in the office. A
clerk teephoned to the Relief hospital
and an ambulance was sent. AT the
hotel the clerks said they had no
idea what caused Mr.. Shanahan to shoot
himself. The police telegraphed
to police officials in Ashland and Louis
vile, acquaintilg them of the shooting
and asking them 10 inform relatives or
friends.
