RAILWAY DISCRIMINATION.

merce commission dns the case Of William
Randolph Hearst against the coal-carrying
railroads, said th4t asia result of freight
tariff discrimination his company suffered a
loss OF more than $s00.0 e0 in less than eight
wears. This loss meant the difference be-
tween solvency and, insolvency. and his
company, which at one time had reputa-

nation is now in the hands of trustees
Mr.. Haddock said that he had had trouble
about rates with the railroad company as
far back as 1888. on the ground that his
company was being Disseminated against
Other companies were enabled to transport
coal under the coal purchasing Contracts
while he had to pay the published tariff
rate.
Mr.. Haddock said that he had persistentlv
complained to the management Of the Lack

proposition that he turn his properties over
to this railroad. This he had declined to
do In the end there was Compromises

LABOR VS.. RAILROADS.
Trouble Over Rates Quoted for A. F. of
L. Convention.

There is much concern in local labor cir
cles on account Of the failure of the rail-
roads to make reduced rates for delegates
to the convention Of the Federation OF
Labor to be held at San Francisco, begin
ming November IA. AS a result ii is said
the number of delegates. especially from
the east. will be materially reduced. The
Central Labor Union of this city declined,
at a recent meeting, to incur the expense
necessary to send a delegate across the
continent and other central bodies in the
eastern, middle and southern states have
taken similar action, it is learned.
Reports received here today state that
the Central Labor Union of Harrisburg.
Pa, at its last meeting, decided by vote
of "a to Al not to send a delegate to San
Francisco. The advocates of economy in
the Harrisburg union, notably the cigar
makers, 1t is said. held that to send a dele
gate to the federation convention at a cost
of about $500 would be a useless extrava-
gance."
At fedora ton headquarters on @ street II
was stated that the facts mentioned VIII
not detract in the least from the import
ance of the big gathering. The organiza-
tions that have important questions con-
fronting them will send representatives..
Considerable indignation in labor bcdles u
reported as result of what is termed un-
Just discrimination against organized iaooS

WORK OF MISS HELEN GOULD.
Tour of the West in the Interests Of
Y. M. G, A.

Miss Helen Gould has just completed a
tour of visitation to all the Young Men S
Christian Associations in the west and
southwest, and is now at Moberly, Mo-,
where she is furnishing a library and club
house for the members Of the railroad Y.
NJ. c. A. to cost $4,000 Miss Gould has
been on the road twenty-three days, has
visited twenty associations and shaken
hands with at least 10000 railroad men,
from sweepers and cleaners to the division
superintendent.
So great is the esteem In which Miss
Gould is held by the railroad employees that
they were willing, II necessary, to lose a
days pay in order to shake hands with
her and to receive word of encourage
ment or commentator from her lips. Miss
Gould has founded, and is partly maintain
ing, twenty Y. NJ. c. AS along the Gould
lines of railroad. In addition to helping
build the club house at Moberly, Mo-, she
has furnished that association with a IL
brary of 1900 volumes. self-playing piano.
music box. phonograph stereoscopic outfit,
including hundreds of excellent views and
other minor gifts.
Miss Gould has been especially interest
ed in the moral and spiritual welfare Of
to meet the rank and file of the railroad
men than the officials, although at the re-
ceptfons representatives were present from
vice president down to call boy, and touch
came in their working garb, and 1t was in
teresting to see the confidence with which
they went forward to shake hands, evident
ly realizing that Helen Gould would well
come them as readily as the man In even
ing dress.
The men were given printed slips by Miss
Gould, noting chapters in the Old and New
Testaments. which she would especially rec
ommend them to read. Among these were
Exodus 20 (the commandments; Psalms 1,
8. 49, %. q, 81, 103, 121; Isaiah %, 55; the
Sermon on the Mount. and many special
selections in the New Testament
The reception at Moberly. and notably at
Denver, were made social events. Miss
Gould's direct motive in all these gatherings
has been to interest men in a clean life
and to encourage railroad men in a purpose
to help each other. The more forbidding
and raw" the conditions of the life of
men on the frontier railroads the deeper
has been her interest in ameliorating the
conditions, and in making the surroundings
of their lives pleasanter.
Miss Gould travelled in her own private
car, Al, and was accompanied by repre-
sentatives of the Young Mems Christian
Association, and her private secretaries,
and a group of friends. After a short visit
to the worlds fair Miss Gould will re-
turn to New York.

The Troubles in Northern Samar.

To this category belong the "pulahan"
troubles in northern Samar, which have
again become widespread enough to require
Not operations by the regular white troops
In the Philippines, for that would be too
cruel to the outlaw, and he might get shot
up too promptly, but by the less drilled
constabulary, who are not SO feared by the
outlaws as either the white troops or the
native scouts.
The revolt, for q long time, was led by
several brothers named Anyugar of whom
Antonio was one of the most notorious.
Their haunts were about the upper Gan
dara river valley, wild district, with it's
center at the town or pueblo of Gandara,
which lies about fifteen miles north of
Catbalogan, the principal town of the
island.
Samar province has a population of 1885,
600 people and an area of 5,4SS square miles,
of which $50 square miles are embraced in
14O isletS, which have a population Of A 600
people, leaving about 222 600 on the main
Island of the same name, which Is the third
largest in the archipelago being only ex-
ceeded by LuZon and Mindanao. To COM
pare 1t with familiar area, it may be said
to be nearly half the size of Maryland, but
to be enormously more broken in surface
and covered with tropical forest and under
brush. 1t is by far the most difficult island
for military operations in all the Philip
pines. both from natural features and the
stubborn fanaticiSm of the mountain dwell
ers, who are not 'savages'' of the more
primitive races, but Visayans, who are in
huenced and controlled by the willy dwell
ers in the coast towns, who seek to keep
the island In an uproar, so they may gain
in the confusion.

ernor Wright the law-abding residents of
the outside settlements, or barrios, Of the
towns of CatbalOgan and Gandara, number

ed on public works, such road building,
and their families supported. Then cam
paign was commenced by Major Samuel
Crawford of the constabulary against the
outlaws, who had their strongholds in the
mountains, ten miles east of Gandara
been burned by the insurgents in 1900.
Gandara lies about 400 miles southeast of
Manila, on the river of the same name,
which is called by the natives the Bac-hao
Bangahon. On August 81 a detachment of
thirteen constabulary, which was taking
twenty-five prisoners to prison, was at
tackled near the village of Bulao, ten miles
northeast of Gandara, by force of the out
laws, numbering twenty-five rif1emen and
about 100 bolomen. In the melee which
followed Constable Barcelona of Company
A of the Iloilo Battalion was killed, three
volunteers were killed and three wounded,
and two prisoners were also killed by the
fire of their own friends.

place above the town Of Catubig with the
outlaws, in which Sergt. Bazibaz was
wounded. The next day, September 6, an
other and fiercer fight took place, in which
fifty of the "pulahanes" bit the dust and
the band put to rout by the gallant little

DES MONIES, Iowa, October 49, 1904.
For the past three or four months 1t has
been apparent to those who have been
keeping up with the details of the situation
in the Philippines that something would
have to be done in Samar, the large island
which lies Immediately south Of Luzon,
and the northernmost one of the islands
inhabited by Visayans, as the race Of
Samar. Leyte, Panay, Cebu, Bohol and
northern Mindanao are called. In the mad
haste to comply with the demand by GER
tain factions in this country that civil
government" should be given to every
province in the so-called Civilized" prov
inces of the Philippines, Samar was given
civil administration almost before the
smoke of the insurgents rifles had blown
away in the spring of 1902 and full native
administration was inaugurated, with the
result that the army was unable to do any
further campaigning while peace existed
on the island. and the native police or
constabulary had not yet become well
enough organized or efficient to suppress
all the petty revolts, which continued in
many places after the big ones had come
