COLLECTOR LOSES THE MONEY.
Had Paid for a Liveryman's Horse.
Killed by Moonshiners,

Down I'm the South Carolina mountains
revenue officers have been having a some
what rough time. Not long ago one OF
them. Deputy Collector r. .. Merrick OF
Greenville. had a fine horse shot and
killed under him while he and a posse
were engaged in breaking up two MOON
shine distilleries. The moonshiner was
after the officer. but missed him and
killed the horse. which had been rented
from a livery stable keeper. The owner
of the horse at once made claim against
the deputy marshal for the value of the
horse, 5000 The deputy collector said he
would try to get the government to pay
the bill.
This was not satisfactory to the livery
man. who knows something of the slow
moving processes of the government. SO
he and other livery stable men refused
to rent any more horses to the revenue
officers until the matter was settled.
Rather than submit to severe boycott
of this kind Collector Merritt paid the
500 out of his own pocket and then turn
ed i'm claim to the government for the
amount. Controller Tracewen. to whom
the question was referred. has decided
that the claim cannot be paid. He says
the government is not liable to either the
collector or the liveryman. and that il
does not go into the insurance business on
either the life or property OF its agents.
If the moonshiners should go into the
horse-killing business. instead OF going
after the lives of the officers. they would
be able. under this decision, to put reve-
nue. officers out OF business.

Ting down to a test of endurance be-
tween the company and the unions. The

take the places of the strikers. while the
latter have the powerful backing of the
American Federation of Labor. The
strike leaders are initiating the policy Of
the Canadian Pacific railway officials and
are maintaining considerable reserve as
to the progress of the strike. Additional
mechanics from the car department in
western Canada have refused to go to
work and have joined the ranks of the
strikers.
The railroad intends to bring in large
number of strikebreakers. Many special
constables are being sworn in. More than
two hundred special policemen have been
engaged since the strike began. Most of
them are employees at the shops. So far.
however there has been no lawlessness
While the Canadian Pacific railway
claims that its general business is not
affected by the strike, leaders of the
strikers claim that freight trains are leav-
ing without proper inspection. the COM
pany bending all its efforts to keep pas
senger trains inspected with the few COM
petent men it has left.
1t is expected that James O'Connnell of
Washington. d. c., will arrive in a day
or. two, 10 help direct strike operations.
O'Conneli is president of the metal
trades branch of the American Federation
of Labor, with which the railway me-
chanics union is directly affiliated.

scheme scontemplates raising force of
100000 men, but it will be impossible to
do this in less than from two to five
years. In an address delivered here to-
day Commander Pethebridge eulogized the
results obtained from the exchange of

MANILA ELECTS SIMON VILLA
REVOLUTIONARY LEADER NAY
NOT BE SEATED.
Objected to as Unfit for Omce-Advo'
Gates Slaughter OF
Spaniards.

MANILA. August 11.-Returns from the
municipal election show that Simon Villa
carried the southern district of the city
and was elected alderman by large plu-
rality. Ramon DioknO was triumphant
for the similar Office in the northern dis
trict. defeating Dominator GOmeZ. Justo
Lukban was elected to the assembly from
the northern district.
Simon Villa is former officer of the in
suHgent army. He only escaped trial for
the murder of a Spanish officer by the
general amnesty proclamation. He is the
man whose incendiary speeches during
his campaign aroused the Americans and
Spaniards of the city.
Protests were made by the Spanish con-
sui general to Governor General Smith
as the resultof Villas public declaration
that in the event of another revolution
he would advocate the slaughter of all
Spaniards on the island. Gov. Smith re-
piled that these statements had no weight
as Villa held no Office.
Diokno is lawyer and leader of the
labor party of the city.
1t isNexpected by Americans here that
the government will not allow Villa to be
seated, objections to his holding Office
being made on the grounds that he is
morally unfit to undertake the duties and
responsibilities of a position such as that
to which he has been elected.
The American residents and others of
the foreign population OF Manila are OPP
posed to the rapid extension of the ballot
to the FilipinOs. declaring that the cleo
ton Of Villa and DiOkno clearly demon
strates the incapacity of the natives for
self-gOvernment at present.

p Travel accommodations are meager in

fore Minister Dodge. now on his way from
Salvador to Tegucigalpa. may reach the
latter place to confer with the Honduras
officials regarding the cases of the Ameri-
can consuls at Ceiba. whose exequaturs
have been Cancelled by President Davila.
Mr.. Dodge will make a thorough exami-
nation of the cases of the consular officers
and on his report will depend in a large
measure the future attitude of the State
Department in dealing with Honduras.
President ravila's refusal to suspend the
cancellation of the exequaturs was a dis
tinct disappointment and surprise to the
State Department If Minister Dodge s,
report upholds the contention of the United
States government that the consuls did
not commit any breach Of propriety In
their dealings with the revolutions there
is likely to be some pretty spicy corre-
spondence between the State Department
and Honduras.
