MAD MULLAH DEFEATED.

of Previous Engagement.

Alden, Arabia, April 27.-Brig. Gen.
Manning, after an engagement with
the Mad Mullah's forces, has relieved
Col. Cobbe, near Gumburru, Somali-
land, 45 miles westward of Galadi.
About 1000 of the Mullah's men were
killed. The British loss is not known.
The few details obtainable of the
disaster to Col. Plunkett's detachment
April II show the Mullah's forces con-
sisted of 1000 horsemen and 10000
spearmen. They surrounded Col.
Plunkett's force in the open and the
somalis, after heavy rifle fire,
charged repeatedly, with their horse
men and spearmen, on all sides. The
British detachment held out until its
ammunition was exhausted and then
charged with the bayonet, but it was
ultimately overwhelmed by weight
of numbers. The British force fought
until all it's officers and ITO men were
killed. Most of the handful of men
who reached the camp were wound
ed. The Somalis' losses are reported
to have been enormous.
The Mullah's forces are reported to
aggregate from 5000 to 1000 mounted
men and about $4,000 spearmen.

COMPROMISE REJECTED.
Carpenters and Joiners' Union and
Master Carpenters Fail to Agree
ON New Wage Scale.

Philadelphia, April 27.-Local unions
affiliated with the brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America
have rejected the compromise offered
by the master carpenters relative to
the new wage scale to go into effect
on May 1. 1t now seems probable
that unless the latter agree to the
demands of the brotherhood before
next Friday a general strike will be
ordered. If strike shall be ordered
nearly $4,000 men will stop work.
The action of the brotherhood has
been supported by the Amalgamated
Association of Carpenters, which is
affiliated with the Council of Allied
Building Trades, and the support Of
the latter is assured.
The brotherhood's demand is for
SO cents an hour after May /. The
master carpenters offered a comprc-
mise at As cents an hour after July
1. This has been rejected. Efforts
will be made by the district council
Of the Brotherhood of Carpenters to
bring about an amicable settlement
of the differences. A special meeting
of the conference committee will he
called next week.

Insurance Rates in Fraternal Societies.
(BY Bro. NJ. Barrett, st Joseph S court
No. 600, Cresco, Ia.)

INDY bro. ". barreGG, ST Joseph s court
No. 600, Cresco, Ia.)
Considering Brother Alcide Bornais'
and Brother John A. Chisholms' arti-
cles in regard to raising the rate of
insurance in the Q. o. f., have come
to the conclusion that they would not
have the society live as long as some
of the fraternal societies in England
which are 765 years old. Now, If we
keep on raising our rates every little
while, how much will our. insurance
cost in 7e5 yAars?. I joined the order
seven years az, 'ayipg 81 cents per
J month. The rat. has raised to sl.O2,
or 20ct per 81 600. II the rate is raised
20 cents every seven years, how long
Will be before the rates will be high
er than the old line companies? 1
claim that the length of our duration
depends on the cost Of insurance; IL
the rate is too high the order will
notgrow fast enough to keep the aver
age age young.
Then it mrst grow older, and conse-
quently must 60 out OF existence.
Which is better, to try to keep piling
up reserve fund by raising the rate
and drive out old members, or try to
keep the age young by giving a low
rate and adding new membersa 1t is
very easy to see that If 1000 members
starta society and pay sl.OO per month
In advance and one member die per
month and get $1,000, one new member
Is added per month. the society always
has the same number of members and
always has 81, 900 on hand, and this is
allowing twelve to the LOCO to die an
nually instead OF seven, which is the
case now. In assessment no 2l3 seven
ty-seven died in all, and about 30 per
cent of these died between the ages Of
20and 30 years. Again we find eleven
members have died who were initial
ed during the past three years, and
nine, rover 81 per cent were less
than 30 years of age, while the other
two were 80 and 40 respectively. Again
Brother Borntas thinks it is not right
to make young man Is years old pay
$3.50 If he lives out his expectancy,
while the man of IS only pays s52s.29.
l would like to ask Brother Bornias il
he thinks the difference, SILL, is too
much for young man to pay for bis
risk for ten years while he is young
and strong, or would he want to carry
the young men (who are dying off SO
fast with consumption) for nothing,
and. If he lives to be old, fleece him
out of the order. Now, Brother Bor-
MAS, there are only three old men, the
old man of the past. the present old
man, and the old man of the future,
and II you are not one Of the old men
now, you will be, and your children
and my children will be the old men
OF the future. The Catholic Forces
