A Ceremony That Forced Them to stop
Running Amuek.

A Ceremony That Forced Them to Stop
Running Amuek.
Moro Eealots do not run amuck as
frequently as they used to do. largely
because of a plan conceived by Lieu
tenant Miller, a volunteer officer from
Chicago. described In the New York
Tribune. When Datto Dali was killed
in running amuck against group Of
soldiers his body was buried with de-
gree OF ceremony which greatly pleased
the natives and correspondingly de-
pressed the American soldiers. The
denouement Is thus described: Two
American soldiers with pig between
them approached the open grave of the
Moro chief. They stood Immediately
over It with the pig between them.
Ono drew out a sharp knife and silt
the animals throat. The blood OF It
gushed into the grave and upon the
remains OF the dead chief. His body
must have been covered with this
blood. He was made vilely unclean.
His ascent into heaven was made
thing unthinkable. There was but one
place In the hereafter to which these
people could confine one so deiled. He
would forever remain In the vilest OF
hell.
1.-THE natives skunk away, sickened
and disheartened. The framework of
their fanatical self sacrifice had been
cut away from beneath them at SIN
gle blow. Their old practices would
no longer exalt them. To those who
ran amuck and killed there awaited
not the seventh heaven. but the utter
most hell. The occasion for the sacri-
fee was removed. Its rewards were
taken away. II ceased to be.
"As far as "a known the incident Of
the pig occurred but once in the cam
paign among the Moros. With that
one occurrence the practice of running
amuck almost disappeared. There has
been an occasional cropping out of the
practice. These have mostly been In
the outlying provinces, to which the
tale of the American method of bat
Ting with the practice has not pene-
trated."

The development of autobiography
is still in its primary stages. When
we are all strolling about with our
private wireless apparatus in neat
pocket form it will be time to talk of
the perfection Of the system. This
sounds rather visionary; but. In fact,
pocket receiving stations have already
been perfected which have worked
successfully In all tests. The dispatch
ing Is attended with more difficulties
and the device for sending messages
from the pocket has not yet been de-
veloped. The possibilities of such a
personal system OF private intercom-
munication are enormous and can be
speculated upon to the limit of the
imaginary faculties. Chicago Tribune.

Almost Unanimously Adopts
the Underwood Bill For q
Big Reduction = ..4J
CUTS PRESENT RATE NEARLY
FIFTY PERCENT ON RAW WOOL
Party Leaders Are Now Preparing to
Meet the Attacks That They Expect
to Come From the Republican Par.
ty in the House.

Washington, June 2.-The Democra-
tic members Of the house, having fin
ished their party struggle over the
wool tariff and agreed almost unani-
mously to support the Underwood
bill placing duty of 20 per cent ad
valorem on raw wool, prepared today
to meet the attacks upon the proposed
revision of the schedules that are to
come from the Republican party. The
Democratic plan was to introduce the
wool bill today and refer it to the
ways and means committee by which
it would be reported favirably next
week.
The leaders of the Democratic par
ty were jubilant over the result of
their caucus of last night. They were
pleased because the differences
threatened by the interposition Of
William Jennings Bryan in advocacy
OF free wool were adjusted and the
party apparently cemented on it's sup.
port OF the revenue measure. They
construed the action of the caucus
as rebuke to Mr.. Bryan.
The caucus opened with the state
ment from Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee that
20 per cent duty on raw wool is
necessary to insure sufficient reye-
nues for the government.
Advocates of free raw wool, backed
by the open support of William Jen-
nings Bryan, offered amendments
putting wool Immediately upon the
free list or proposing gradual re-
duction that would abolish the entire
duty within five years. While direct
reference to Mr.. Bryan by name was
not made by Chairman Underwood or
others who spoke during the day In
favor of the 20 per cent duty. they
replied to the sense of these free wool
demands by pointing out the absolute
necessity for small duty on raw
WOOL
Chairman Underwood gave the
complete text of the proposed revision
of the wool tariff to 200 Democrats
who assembled in the party caucus at
noon. 1t proposes duty of 20 per
cent on raw wool, reduction of more
than 80 per cent from the Payne
Aldrich law. now in force. AS soon
as he had concluded his opening
speech, Mr.. Harrison of New York
offered an amendment that would
abolish the duty on wool in five years.
1t proposed a gradual reduction each
year for the five year period. Mr..
Harrison declared this was the true
Democratic principle Of tariff making
to put on the free list raw material
so universarry used.
Mr.. Randell of Texas followed with
an amendment for the immediate
adjustment of the entire duty on raw
wool. With these three proposals
before them, the Democrats gave close
attention to the debate, participated
in by many members Of the ways and
means committee.

walking through the crowd he ran
forward to embrace him, the insur-

ro in turn expressed thanks for his
escape from Juarez soon after the
battle when the riotous insurrectos
