Fire.

Manila, Aug. Maj. Crawford and
Capt. Kauber, with a lieutenant and
eight con~stabulary men were ambush
ed by Igorrotes while shooting the rap
ids Of the Abulung River, In Northern
LuZon, on a bamboo raft.
Maj. Crawford and Capt. Knauber
and five men were wounded with ar
rows
The men assailed were unable to re-
turn the fire because the enemy were
hidden or the wooded banks of the
river. This outbreak is inexplicable,
as hitherto the Igorrotes have been
peaceable.
One hundred and fifty Pulajanes
pierced the military Gordon, burned
the municipal buildings, killed the ex-
president of the town, two former
members of the constabuIary and
three policemen at Abuyon. Island Of

MURDERER KILLS SELF
WILLIAM c WOODS, OF ST. LOUIS,
COMMITS SUICIDE.
WAS IN JAIL AT MOBILE, ALA.
Followed His Wife From st. Louis to
Mobile, and Shot Her After Fail.
ing to Effect Reconciliation.

st. Louis, Aug 4.-William c. Woods,
of st. Louis, who shot and killed his
wife, Mrs. Gatsie Woods, at Mobile,
Ala, because she spurned him, com
mitted suicide in his cell in Jail at
Mobile, according to press dispatches.
He was being held for trial on a charge
of murder.
Woods left st. Louis last Saturday
night to seek a reconciliation with
his wife, who had left him some time
ago. She had been living with her
father, Elmo B. Simmons, a former
policeman, at 1925 South Sixth street,
st. Louis, prior to her departure for
Mobile a short time ago.
When he reached Mobile he sought
to become friendly, but she refused to
listen to him. Without giving her any
warning, he drew a revolver and shot
her. He pOcketed the pistol and walked
away. He a. not caught until
Wednesday 400 He was asleep in the
rear of a saloon when caught, and
there was a band of crepe around his
arm He was under the influence of a
drug, and after he vas locked up
told of taking poison.
Three months ago the young wife
left her husband. To be away from
him entirely she went to Mobile two
weeks ago. Her husband followed.
He said a letter he had found made
him jealous.

FILcHED A QUARTER MILLION.
Trust Company's Funds Lost On the
Stock Market.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 6.-Badgered
and threatened for twelve hours in a
room at the Monongahela house, Cliff
ford S. Hixon, broke down and con-
fessed that he had robbed the big
Union Trust Co. of a sum that may
reach $3.50, 200.
Hixton, who is % years old and un
married, was individual bookkeeper in
the bank and trust company, the
stock of which is principally owned by
Henry c. Frick, the steel magnate.
Hixton said that he had been stealing
for three years, and that every cent
that he had taken had been lost in
stock speculation; that he is penniless.
Hixton duplicates another employee
Of the bank, who, he asserts, helped
conceal the populations and who re-
ceived half Of the proceeds of the rob-
berries. A warrant has been sworn
out for this man, and detectives are
now hunting him.

HONOR OF UNITED STATES.
Or MORE. IMPORTANCE THAN
PUNISHMENT OF A MILLION.
Statement of Judge Houoh In thu
United States Circuit Court
In the Browne Case.

New York, Aug. 8.-That the honor
of the United States is of more i'm
portance than the punishment of a
million criminals was the statement
made by Judge Hough in the United
States circuit court here in the
habeas corpus proceedings insti-
tuted on behalf of Charles C. Browne.
Browne vas formerly employed in the
customs service in this city, and was
extradited in Canada and taken to
Sing Sing prison to begin a two
years term for conspiracy to defraud
the government.
w. M. X. Olcott. of counsel for
Browne, denounced the action Of the
federal authorities in extraditing
Browne for one ~offense, and incarcer.
ating him in prison for another, as
a trick beneath the dignity of the
government of this country, and in
violation of the treaty with Canada.
The Rauscher Decision.
In taking the papers in the case
and reserving decision, Judge Hough
commented on the Rauscher decision
in the United States supreme court, in
which the contentious now advanced
in behalf of Browne were upheld, and
