-Advices received at Manila, last

sive measures are being enforced in
the northern part Of the island Of

under Lieutenant James, killing him
and four OF his men. 1t Is reported

company of the Twenty-fourth in
fantry, has had a sharp fight with q
band of natives which he met there.

troops in large forces have been sent
there. Scouting parties are watch
ing the movements of the tribes, and

London Spectator: Observers Of
the west were somewhat surprised
that the dissolution OF the douma
was not Immediately followed by a
popular uprising or an immediate
panic in Russian securities. They
forgot that Russia Is an agricultural
continent rather than a kingdom;
that its capital Is fettered in bonds
of steel; that its swifteSt means OF
internal communication are in the
hands Of the government alone, and
that, with its douma suppressed, its
people, the peasantry especially, have
no organ through which their united
will can be expressed. From the mo-
ment Of the convocation OF the
statesgeneral the people of France
were never without a mouth and un-
til the bronze artillery officer" shot
down the sections" they were never
without an "army of revolution"
The Russian nation moves heavily
and may take years before It's gen.
eral will is effective, its movement
being that Of a glacier rather than
the avalanche. Still, it is moving.
An ingenious conspiracy on the
part of Polish revolutionists to assas-
sinate the governor general OF War
saw, eliminated in failure last Sat-
urday A few days previous a revo-
lutionist wearing the uniform OF a
Russian officer, called upon the Ger
man consul provoked difficulty and
assaulted him viciously. When the
matter was reported to the governor
general that official supposing that
the assailant of the consul was really
a Russian officer, called upon him
for the purpose Of making an apol-
ogy. This was what the conspirators
were calculating on. In the mean
time they had hired a house near
the consulate and when the governors
carriage arrived they began to throw
bombs at it, throwing three in all.
Two of the bombs exploded behind
the carriage without injuring II but
smashed the windows in the neigh
boring houses. II is said that the
governor general was badly shocked.
Bystanders said that the bombs were
thrown by a light haired girl and all
the light haired girls in that neigh
borhood were arrested; but nothing
could be proved.

Mrs. Bina F. Verault- Hamilton
and Mrs. James Pemberton Brown
hold the center of the sensational
stage in New York just at present
1t seems that several years ago these
women began inserting personal
advertisements in the New York pa
pers, offering marriage If cOngenial
husbands could be found. Scores of
replies came from all over the coun-
try and they worked each victim to
the limit by promises of marriage.
When the victim would finally be-
come impatient they would diSap-
pear for time and then start hunt
for new victims. But the matrimo-
NAL bureau was but a side line.
They were out for bigger game. Mrs.
Brown promoted the Kentucky Coal
and Fuel company and held spirit
ualistic seances, advising her victims
through the medium of spirits to
buy the stock of this company. BY
means of these mystic tips" $5O,-
900 worth of stock was quickly sold.
A Brooklyn brewer purchased $25,-
900 worth of the stock. At last there
was a kick from a victim and the
United States district attorney began
to investigate. and the victims be-
gan to register complaints. The TWO
women were arrested and are now
held under charges of fraudulent use
of the mails Two Wall street mil
lionaires are among the victims Of
the worthy pair.

Bob Davis in the presence of Gov
ernor Hayward, and offered $1,000 re-
ward for similar treatment of a ne
gro committing an assault on white
woman in Atlanta. The editorial
reads: "Hurrah for South Carolina.
Three cheers and a tiger for the
brave men of that state. They have
vindicated the honor of at least one
community in South Carolina, even
in the presence of the governor of
the state. They have done their du-
ty and done it well. A black brute,
whom the state executive appropri-
ately called a devil and a fiend of
hell. who perpetrated the most in
famous crime above burning hell
that of assaulting a defenseless white
girl-went to his fate and doom at
the hands of a public court of pa
triots, and today South Carolina
stands at the forefront of southern
patriotism. Tomorrow Georgia may
