SAVED BY HIS GUARD
moros Attack American Official
in the Philippines.

Manila, July 19.-Dean G. Worces-
ter, American secretary of the interior
for the Philippines, was set upon by
renegade Moros on the island of Pala-
wan ond escaped assassination only
through the alertness of his body
guard, who shot down the outlaws,
killing three of them outright.
Secretary of Interior Worcester was
touring the island. which is the most
westerly of the larger of the Philip
pine group bounding the Sulu sea on
the west, and was present at the in
stallation Of the new governor. In
anticipation of his coming a band Of
Moros planned his death. Armed
with bolos, carefully concealed, they
laid trap for the secretary, who sud-
denly found himself the object Of q
savage rush.
Captain Moynihan of the scouts was
the first to recognize the hostile move
mont and, just in the nick of time, he
ordered the scouts to fire. At the fusil-
lade three Moros who led the attack
dropped dead, while several others
doubled up with more or less severe
wounds. The rest of them took to
their heels.

Railroad Officials and Employees Roach
an Agreement.


Philadelphia, July 19.-General Man.
ager w. H. Myers of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the committees
representing the $1,000 trainmen and
conductors employed on the lines Of
the road east of Pittsburg agreed on
a basis for the settlement of the wage
controversy. Each side says 1t has
gained all it had been contending for
in the negotiations which have been
in progress for the past six months
and which eliminated last week in
the strike vote by the employees.
The proposition offered by the rail-
road officials and accepted by the men
includes minimum day of ten hours,
as detailed in the New York Central
award. On certain runs where the
company's present rate is higher the
rate will not be disturbed.
The classification of these excep-
tional runs and the question Of over
time were left to be decided at confer
ences between the various members
of the committees and the division
superintendents of the lines which
they represent.
It was further agreed that the men
would be guaranteed twenty-six days
a month";

GREAT FIRE AT PORTLAND
Two Men and Scores of Horses Are
Cren1ated,

Portland, Ore, July IAN early
morning fire in the west central por-
ton of the city, just on the edge of
the business section, resulted in
the loss of at least two lives, the
injury of several persons, the burning
of $50 horses and a financial damage
of about 100000. The burned district
covered approximately ten acres, but
large portion of this area was devoted
to the athletic field of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club and, save for a
magnificent grandstand capable of
seating 5000 people, was practically
unimproved.
So far as known the dead are F. R.
Price, foreman of the United Carriage
company's stables, and man whose
name is supposed to be Prude.
The fire started in the old EXPOSE
ton building, an immense wooden
structure. The sparks soon ignited

RACING COMEDY TONIGHT.

There is little left to imagination in
the second act Of the racing play,
"Wildfire." which comes to the Illinois
this evening. This second act pre-
sents an exact reproduction of a train
er's quarters at the race track, and
is an accurte duplicate of just such
room occupied by a famous trainer
at a New York track. 1t is in this
act that the most stirring scene of the
play, and one of the greatest and most
intense situations ever witnessed in
any drama, occurs. Luella Morey, as
the handsome widow Mrs. Barring
ton. is the central figure, of course.
Duffy. a crooked bookmaker. has ar
ranged with the jockey riding the
widows horse, "Wildnre," to refrain
from winning unless ne sees a white
handkerchief waved from the window
of the trainers quarters. Bud, loyal
stable boy, overhears the plot and in
forms the widow. Just as the race
starts. she beguiles the bookmaker
into making love to her, and as he
seeks to embrace her. she draws his
handkerchief from his pocket. wavinA
it over the unsuspecting mans Shout
der. The jockey sees the signal as
he is coming down the home stretch
and sends his mount. WHdfire. under
the wire a winner. This scene always
arouses tremendous enthusiasm.

Yannigans Lose by Score of D to l.
Four of Twirlers Who Think
They Have the Goods.

There was a hot game at Island City
park yesterday afternoon despite the
failure of the Galesburg team to ap-
pear in time TO play with Manager
Tighe's recruits. The Islander chief.
tain put his men through their PAGES
in great style and they showed good
form regardless of their enforced lay
ing off for several days on account
of the weather. The squad was di-
vided into two teams, with practically
all the regulars on one team and the
remainder of the bunch on the other.
The yannigans were made up mostly
of pitchers and they were unable to
cope successfully with the regulars.
but at that they made things interest
ing. The regulars won the contest
by a score of to l.
Cavet in Form.
Cavet opened on the mound for the
regulars and for five innings he pitched
masterful ball and allowed not a single
man to reach first base. He shot the
ball over the platter with all sorts of
queer kinks and quirks and no one
could touch him safely. Blenner. who
followed Pug. was " lid to start with,
passing four men in a row and forcing
in the only run made by the yanni-
gGns. but after that he. TOO, was in
and the game closed with no
more runs having been scored.
Queisser did the hurting for the yam
nigans for the first five innings and
showed that he has the right stuff.
Four runs were garnered in the very
first inning off him, but it was prin-
cipally the fault of Eddie Kohl. who
erred with the bases full and allowed
two men to cross the platter. After
this one bad inning was over. Queisser /
was just as hard 10 hit safely as was
Cavet and the two had a lively pitch
