UPRISING
ENDED BY NATIVES
BETRAYING LEADER
InCiter of Revolt Will Now Have
Chance to Spend Fourteen
Years in Prison.

MANILA. Sept. 3.-The uprising in
Nueva Vizcaya, led by Simeon Man
dac, the primer governor Of Ilocos
Norte, came to an inglorious end today
when Mandac fell into the hands of
the constabulary, having been seized
and surrendered by the people of the
province among whom he had sought
to stir up trouble.
A few of Mandac's right-hand men
also were arrested and his other fol-
lowers dispersed. 1t is estimated that
the band of outlaws originality num-
bered 500. but it dwindled soon to 200.
and these had but few arms.
When the pursuit became hot Man.
dac sought refuge in the home of a
man who was subsequently killed when
the people turned against the former
governor and revealed his hiding place.
An interesting feature of the short
lived uprising was the cooperation of
the natives in running down the dis
turbers.
Mandac will now have a chance to
serve the fourteen years Imprisonment
which has been hanging over him since
his conviction for killing a prisoner
while he was governor, unless he re-
his recent escapade. Mandac jumped
his bail while an appeal from the sem
tence of Imprisonment was pending.

VICTOR MURDOCH SPEAKS
FOR CONGRESSMAN FOWLER

PLAINFIELD, Sept. 3.-Congressman
Victor Murdoch. of Wichita, Kan, was
applauded by a large audience here last
night as he appeared to speak for Con-
gresham Fowler's denomination and to
tell why they both became insurgents.
In a telling address he recited the story
of Cannonism and it's oppression-the
czar-like power by which 1t controls
legislation and crushes men who will
not yield, its ramifications running as
far as Albany.
He told of the fight to put Can
non off the rules committee, and said
that something had been accomplished
by that, but that more vas to be done,
and that the insurgents want more
help. New Jersey. he declared, needs
Congressman Fowler to continue the
fight for a representative government,
in which the people will rule, and
the people, he said. must stand by him
and face the issue. The West, he said,
is asking if Fowler is to have the
support of New Jersey in the great
fight.
With a high encomium for Fowler as
the greatest financial mind in the coun-
try, and a plea to stand by him, Mr..
Murdoch closed and hurried to Newark
by automobile. Congressman Fowler,
who arrived later. also made a speech.

Russia, but No Cases
Yet in Odessa.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 3.-The
municipal sanitary authorities have
been awakened to the danger of the
importation of the bubonic plague here
from Odessa. Leading medical authori-
ties express their conviction that the
plague will reach the city in the neal
future. A rat-killing campaign, with
the use of traps and poison, has been
begun by an army of 200, 900 persons
especially assigned for this work. A
premium of five kopeks, or a little more
than 3 cents in American money, is Of
fered for every rat destroyed.
In Odessa SO far there have been 76
cases of the plague. with Is deaths.
twenty-one persons have been dis
charged from the hospitals, while 81
still remain there under observation.
There has not been a single CASE of pull
monary plague, the mortality from
which is almost 100 per cent. The
Odessa municipality has decided to
float a loan of $3.50, 900, which will be
used to combat the epidemics.
A dispatch received here today from
Przhevalsk reports seventeen cases of
the pulmonary plague in that district.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic
this year, 133,601 cases of cholera, with
g., LAOS deaths In Russia, have been
officially reported; The scourge, how
ever, is lessening.
In st. Petersburg today there were
43 new cases, "a deaths and 643 suspect
ed cases in the hospitals.

NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y, Sept. g.
Adolf Rolf, who was q sabin boy en-

washed overheard by a big wave as the
vessel was OIL its way from H~elsingfors.

thanking him the girl paid no more at

A Historical Detail.

That Il was perfectly In keeping with
all other performances Of WILLIAM II.
BUCKLEY to offer tn deliver to Mr.. OAR
WIN p. KINGSLEY six or twenty-six SEN
ators af $500 apiece IN too obvious 20
need argument II was BUCKLKYs haisi-
ness to offer such commodities in bulk
or In broken lots TO suit. A lobbyist
who was not at all times prepared TO
Offer such goods could not have attained
eminence comparable with that held by
BUCKLEY in the fire insurance world.
II Is unfortunate. however. that Mr.
KINosLEY's unimpeachable testimony
has left the inevitable suspicion that
had he agreed 20 the bargain proposed
by BUCKLEY the amendment he favored
would not have been defeated s'ibse-
quently. Such was not the fact. The
fate of the amendment was determined
not by the Legislature at all but by the
direct and authoritative intervention OF
the late FRANK W HIooINs.
On the afternoon Of April IL, 1909.
Horace WHITE, then a member Of
the senate. proposed Mr.. kINosLET's
amendment. which was adopted by a
vote Of - 10 "a. The following morn
ing Governor HIG0TNs in a public state.
ment denounced this amendment. Sub
Sequently he sent for the Republican
leaders Of the Senate, directed them
20 summon a party caucus, and also
summoned certain Republican members
who had supported the amendment
and talked To them with old fashioned
political frankness.
The caucus was held. the elimination
Of the Kingsley amendment was made
n party measure. and little later in the
day. nv a vote Of 20 To 4, the Senate re-
stored the insurance legislation 20 the
form which the Hon. CHARLES EVANS
HUGHES had originally given il. The
whole incident was one of direct and un-
disguised Executive interference. made
potential by the threae of the EN-
plOyment Of Executive power. In the
present senate there remain hut three
Republican Senators who changed po-
sition on this amendment. They are
HINNAN. COBB and DAVIS. all Of whom
originally supported Mr.. KTSOsLETs
amendment.
No one will question for a moment
the complete truth 81 Mr. KINGsLEYs
assertion. But the historically impor-
tant fact il that tho amendment was
destroyed not because Mr.. KINGSLEY
refused TO buy si1 State Senators NJ
$500 apiece. but because the late FRANK
W. HIGGINS exerted the irresistible in
fiuenoe 81 his position and personal
strength to compel its destruction. The
moment he interposed the amendment
was dead.
