The Wool Trade.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 30, 1900
A large business has again been
accomplished in the wool market,
a number of the heavy consum-
ers having come in and taken on
some good-sized blocks of terri
torial woods and medium un-
washed fleeces. As far as the
large consumers are concerned,
the purchasing has been quite
general, and indeed there are only
II few very large mills which have
not been represented in the
market during the past week.
Prices have ruled generally
strong. The only spot in the sit
uation which shows any weakness
is in quarter-blood fleece woods,
which have been moved at some
concessions, which is not un-
natural after the slow demand
which this grade of stock has ex-
perienced.
The receipts of wool in Boston
this week amounted to 26,066
bales against 1898 bales last
week and q, 1856 bales last year.
The shipments since January /,
have been 152,320,511 pounds,
against 148, 00S,942 for the cor
responding time last year.
The sales of the week in Bos.
ton amounted to 9,245, 900
pounds of domestic and 1855, 900
pounds of foreign, making a total
of 100000 pounds, against a
total of 10, 920, 900 pounds for the
previous week and a total OF
8, 100000 for the corresponding
week last year. The sales since
January |, amount to 1865, 0O7, 900
pounds, against 1873, 1876 900 for

Remanded to Jail at Bennington to Await Action

Fred Johnson the Accused, Is the Grandson
Of an Indian and Is Said to Possess

Jay accused Fred of taking things that
| did not belong to him and Fred re-
piled by calling Jay a ''liar" and
/ other hard names.
| Finally Fred got the things he went
after, or part OF them and left his
fathers house. Jay had gone from

, gether again in the road a short dis.
lance from the dwelling.
While they were talking Fred step.
ped out OF the beaten highway and
sank to his hips in the snow. Jay
! came and stood over him and more
hot words were spoken.
Ii was then that Fred drew a 81 cal
ibre revolver from his pocket and shot
his brother in the back. The ball
struck the shoulder blade and the
wound made was not dangerous,
The state witnesses claim that on re.
ceiving this wound Jay started to run
back to the house and got some dis
lance from his brother when the latter
raised his revolver and. taking DELHI
crate aim, fired again at the fleeing
man. This part of the testimony was
not brought out at the hearing.
1t was the second bullet that did
the fatal work. Like the first IL struck
the victim IN the back but passing be-
tween the ribs lodged in the left lung.
Jay continued to run and reached
the house dropping on the piazza with
his head at the Threshold He died be-
fore he could be gotten into the house.
He spoke few words but of no impor |
lance as bearing on the case. Death |
was caused by hemorrhage of the
lungs, the blood pouring in through |
the hole made by the bullet.
The defence put in no testimony, be-
ing content to hear the state side to
assist them in preparing for the trial
in county court, and Johnson was held
for appearance before the grand jury
in June as above stated.

CHARACTER OF FILlPINOS.
Very Few Officials in Charge of Pub
lie Affairs Show Executive
Ability.

Fred w. Atkinson, who was the first
superintendent Of education in the Phil
lppines under the American control,
writes of the Filipino in Worlds Work:
AN experience of three years in the
Philippines has brought me to the con-
tlusion that the Filipinos are incapable
Of self-government. They are managed
by a few ambitious leaders, They have
aot yet cultivated sense of fair play
and tolerance for those who differ in
opinion, and yet, although the gift self
government in full measure was not
possible, the United States bestowed it
TO degree by granting practical au-
:onomy in provincial and municipal af-
fairs. There are some 600 towns in which
natives have in the main the same con-
troll over their local affairs as is en-
Ioyed by the residents of towns of cor
responding size in the United States
but concentration CT government pow
ers has been found.
Every few of them, however. show ex-
ecutive ability and some of them betray
obstinate inef1ciency and inactivity.
The tendency everywhere in the east is
n the direction of one-man power. and.
TOO often in the Philippines, the mayor
Or provincial governor dominates every
hing as far as he can. He is very ready
with promises, but as some one has said:
The Filipino never says mo" but never
does yes" When asked for informa-
ion, he studies you. and is inclined to
give you the answer he thinks you want
Indirectness is trait and the giving of
gifts by subjects to those in authority a
custom common in the Philippines.
From instinct the Filipino agrees with
the boodler's opinion that there is no use
IN holding an office unles it can be turned
% profit. It is hard for Filipinos to I'M
derstand that the giving of presents to
government officials is not right; it is
very difficult for them to believe that a
nan. because he happens to be white,
has any scruples against it. They look
with a measure of contempt upon man
who refuses"

AEALTH OF WHITE PEOPLE,
According to Naval Authority Is Apt
to Suffer in the Phil
-. ippines.

Surgeon w. H. Butcher, of the navy,
stationed at OlOngapo, p. l., has made
n interesting report to the navy de-
partment regarding certain peculiar
physical results Of prolonged service
in the Philippines. There are certain
changes" he says, that take place in
those individuals who are compelled to
live here which are worthy Of noting
Some show evidences of this change
early. while in others it does not ar
pear until considerable time has
elapsed. 1t comes to all, however, in
greater or less degree. The first symp-
tom is loss of memory and the neces-
sity of using note book to lCt down
almost everything. About the same
time an Indifference, SO common
among the natives, made inroads on
the foreigner and daily battle against
'manana' tendency is necessary to keep
1t from interfering with his duties.
This Indifference is not confined to
himself. The dogs in the street move
about in stupid state, and one is
compelled to stop frequently when
driving to prevent running over these
animals that have not concern enough
for their welfare to move when in
danger. An expression is used 70 des-
ignate this condition, Philir pinitis.
Among the enlisted force that arrives
many are of unstable nervous organi
cations, and in the process Of Gegener-
alton these people follow the lines Of
least resistance. Alcoholism excessive
use of tobacco and other excuses are
the usual signals OF an impoverished
nervous system which, under ordinary
circumstances, would require no slim
u!ation. The drinking of vino IS COM
mon among the enlisted force, and the
train of unfortunate symptoms follow
ing this habit has no doubt beer noted
b. others with longer experience than
mine. While all these ills cannot be
attributed to the climate and environ
r ent, there is frequency in their oc-
currence and manner about The way
in which they are committed that is
different from that seen elsewhere. Il
was wise step to cut the cruise In
these islands down to two years, and
l thoroughly believe that obse vat!ons
will prove that even two years Is too
long for white man to maintain his
health in this climate"
