TALKS ON WORLDS HISTORY.
Daniels Prophecy Theme of Lecture
bV 10. + Alherfaxuov%h

1.-THE History of the World Foretold"
was the subject Of lecture by E. F.
AlbertsWorth. president of the Wash
ington Society of Seventh-Day Ad-
ventist Young People at a meeting OF
that organization last night at the
Seventh-Day Adventist Church. 10Th
and nj streets northwest
In course of his remarks, Mr.. Alberts-
worth said: "The course OF human his
tory for the past twenty-five hundred
years has been exactly in accordance
with the prophetic outline given in the
second chapter of Daniel In the days
OF Nebuchadnezzar. Mighty men have
at times attempted to carry out plans
which confiicted with this outline. but
none has succeeded. All the wisdom
and shrewdness of Napoleon, ali of his
ingenuity, and knowledge of military
tactics. all the strength of his mighty
army was not sufficient to break the
power of few simple words of Scrip
ture."
At the close of the meeting it was
announced that next Friday evening
at o'clock Mr.. Abertsworth would
speak on tho prophecy of Daniel, sew

Speeding Fire Motors.

To the-Editor Of The Star:
wish to indorse the letter Of w. s.
Duvall appearing In The Star of this
date:
We. Of Washington. who know the fire
chief. are aware that his aim is for the
public good. but stranger in town might
well put it down as spectacular display
In many cases. perhaps the majority
alarms are sent In when the apparatus
does not go into service. but the chief
risks the lives or limbs of others and his
own by his senseless excess OF speed.
The blast of his alarm is enough to end
the life OF ono afflicted with heart dis
ease, and there are too many of such
among us. or to render frantic a spirited
horse. resulting in the death or injury OF
a few OF our population, and, as Mr.
Duvall says. the chief can do practically
nothing until the apparatus arrives, and
add that real fire could be properly
handled were the chief killed or disabled
on the way. There is some excuse for
excessive speed on the part of hospital
ambulances, but for the fire chief none.

such. they were led to Aguinaldo's re-
treat AS soon as the Filipino general
appeared at the window of his house to
look over his captives he was fred upon
by the supposed prisoners. and In q few
minutes the entire camp was In Gen.
Funstons hands.
The Americans suffered many trying
experiences and some disasters before
the revolt was stamped out The worst
was the ambush and massacre OF Baian-
giga, Samar province. in September. 1901.
Company c. 9th Infantry, consisting OF
sixty-six men and three officers. was sta
toned there in the parish church. While
the bulk of the outfit was bathing at
nearby stream one morning. with their
arms stacked in the church, where the
sicl- and wounded also were, several hum
dred armed bolomen sneaked into the
church from the rear door. which some
say was opened by native priest. under
pretense of coming to attend fiesta
They murdered all those in the church

five men and officers were killed and most
OF the twenty-four who escaped were
wounded.
July /, 1901, William II. Taft, president
Of the second commission. was proclaimed
by President Mckinley civil governor Of
the islands. Twenty days later Gen.
Macarthur, at the request. or perhaps
direction, of Gov. Taft. declared twenty
four provinces to be peaceful enough to
warrant the establishment Of local rule
there. Accordingly, civil government,
after a fashion, headed for the most part
by natives. was set up in most OF these
provinces. July 4, 1902, President Roose-
Welt declared in a proclamation that the
instruction in the Philippines was Of
ficfalIy at an end. Organized brigandage
continued for four years thereafter.
Maj. Gen. A. r. Chaffee was the last
military governor of the islands. Troops
were withdrawn as rapidly as possible.
At the present time the American force
in the islands consists Of from 5000 to
10000 soldiers, augmented by 5000 Philip
pine Scouts and 1000 Philippine constab-
ulary. The highest number OF American
soldiers In the islands during the insur-
rection was 123, 900 men and Abs officers.
The cost OF the war to the United States
was $17O, OOO,OOO.

BLOW ON RIVER SEVERE.
Wind Reaches Proportions Of a Gale
and Grounds a Scow.

The blow on the river Wednesday
night is reported to have been par
ticularly severe. The wind reached the
proportions of gale, but was soon over.
At the height Of the blow one of the
large scows belonging to the Columbia
Granite and Dredging Company of this
city was torn loose by the wind from
It's moorings near Motley Hall. on the
Maryland side Of the river, Just below
Alexandria, and was carried ashore. The
scow grounded on high water, and when
the tide fell off it was left high and
dry on the beach. To get it afioat an
unusually high tide will be required.
1t is said the vessel will not be injured
where she is lying, and that her owners
will float her on the first opportunity.
So far as can be learned, this was the
only damage done by the high winds.
