ARE AMUSING THEMSELVES
F~Iliptro Radicals Hold u Convention
and Demand Immediate
Independence.

Manila. June 1is-A widely adver-
tised meeting of the federal party was
held here, but the attendance vas
slim. An attempt was made to reor-
ganiae the platform, resulting in fever
lsh debates. The conservatives were
overwhelmed. Those fayoring an in
definite period for preparation for self
government were beaten, and in place
Of this plank another was substituted
amid wild applause, demanding imme-
diate independence. Several of thu del
egates left the meeting before the final
vote was taken. The radicals were IN
full control of the situation. They
urged the abolition of the constabu-
larry and a reduction in the taxes.

AssembLyn1an Tighe's letter should
be read by every brain worker leading
a strenuous life.
Hon. John Tighe, No. 9s Remsen ST.,
Cohoes, N. Y, Member of Assembly
from the Fourth district, Albany county,
N. ", writes as follows:
"Peruna has my hearty Endorsement
as a restorative tonic of superior merit.
At times when l have been completely
broken down from excess of work, SO
that my faculties seemed actually at a
standstill, Peruna has acted as healing
r~estorer, starting the machinery Of mind
and body afresh with new life and
energy.
IL recommend it to a mar tired in
mind and body as a tonic superior to
anything l know Of and well worthy
serious consideration. u. Tighe.
Excess of work so common in our
country causes impaired nerves, leading
to catarrh and catarrhal nervousness
a disease that is responsible for half OF
all nervous troubles.
Peruna cures this trouble because IL
cures catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

ccivcs Rawhiding.

on the bare back, being the first SUI

and physician. The whip was a braid
ed blacksnake made of rawhide, with
four lashes. McCiinty after receiving
the sentence was hustled to jail, where
he was stripped to the waist and his
manacled hands tied to a door in the
jail corridor high above his head.

strained at the manacles binding his

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION
Biennial Convention Of Conductors
Ask Congress Not 10 Pass Ad-
verse Railroad Laws.

At the biennial convention OF the
Order of Railway Conductors recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
we're unanimously adopted voieing
their sentiments as to the effect Of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
1900, 900 railroad employees, whom they
In part represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude Of President
Roosevelt In condemning secret re-
bates and other illegalities, and com.
mend the attitude Of the heads of
American Railways, who, with prac-
tical unanimity, have Joined with
the President on this question"
They then respectfully point out TO
Congress the individuality Of legisla
ton vesting in the hands of a COM
mission power over railway rates, now
lower by far In the United States than
in any other country" because such
regulation, would result in litigation
and confusion and inevitably tend to
an enforced reduction in rates, ire
spective of the question Of the ability
of the railroads to stand the reduction,
especially In view of the increased cost
of their supplies and materials" They
further protested against such power
being given to the present Interstate
Commission because "the proposed leg
isIation is not in harmony with III
idea of American Jurisprudence, mas
much as 1t contemplates that a single
| body shall have the right to investi-
gate, indict, try, condemn and then
enforce its decisions at the cost Of the
carriers, pending appeal, which is
manifestly inequitable.'
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation If any, as
would Secure and insure justice and
| equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned on the ground that
the low cost of transportation SIS the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant Improvement and de-
velopment Of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates Of this country average only two
per cent. of the cost Of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight
rate so insignificant a factor in the
selling price that numerous standard
articles are sold at the same price in
all parts of the country"

Memorial day this year came under
widely different conditions from those
which prevailed at all previous recur-
rences Of the holiday. The restoration
of all the battle-fiags captured from
the eonfederacy during the civil war
has brought out expressions of warm
appreciation from all parts Of the
South. The bill which ordered the
restoration was introduced by a repub-
iican, passed each branch of the con-
gress by a unanimous vote, and was
promptly and cheerfully signed by
President Roosevelt.
