Allied Warships Are
 Active Near Manila

Manila, P. l., Oct. 5.-A11ied war ships, believed to be British vessels are again active in territorial waters of the Philippines and half a dozen inter-island vessels have been over hauled, halted and examined during the past few days. The procedure is generally to halt ship, send an armed landing party aboard, examine the ships papers, ask for information as to the nationality of the passengers and inquire whether the ship carried cargo or mai1 addresses to Teutonic subjects. So far there has been no interference either with passengers. mail or cargo.
 A large cruiser, believed to be Brit ish. created a sensation recently by flashing into Manila bay and coming within four lilies of the harbor. Then she turned tail and as suddenly made for the open sea again. No effort was made to stop her by the American warships in the bay. which have charge of enforcing neutrality regu- lations, but it is understood that the matter was the subject of correspond ence between the governor generals office and the British consulate.

TWENTY YEARS AGO
REPUBLICAN CHEEK.

Over Main and State streets to-day were hung a number of flags bearing Mckinley and Hobart inscriptions. It was very evident that those in charge of hanging them displayed consider able impotence in some spots by as- suming they had permission, when it was not granted.
 z Some of the members of Bricklay- ers' and Plasterers' Union No. saw a banner waving from the window of their rooms in the Burroughs building. They had not given permission to have it hung and 1t did not take them long to call a special meeting to consider the matter. Alderman O'Rourke headed the committee that awaited upon MT. Burroughs, the agent of the estate. He said he had not given per- mission to have the banner hung and he would immediately notify the Re- publicans to take it down.

''T. ''

In Ireland ands for that matter, throughout the British Empire. 'T. F." stands for Thomas Power OConnor, most distinguished of latter day Irish publicists and Journalists. ''T. F." was born in Athlone 68 years ago today, and was educated at the College of the Immaculate Concep- tion in Athlone and dueen's College in Galway He began his journalistic career nearly half century ago. his first employment on the prens being as a "cub" reporter on the staff of Saunders Newsletter, a Conservative journal published in Dublin. In 1870 "T F." set out for London in search of wider fields to conquer. and was appointed sub-editor on the Daily Telegraph. Later he was employed in the London office of the New York Herald, and he founded and was the first editor Of the London Sun, the Weekly Sun, the London Star, M. A. F.. IT. P,'A Weekly, and other publications. He began his parliamentary career in 1880 as member for Galway, and was returned from both Galway and Liv- erpool in lS86, He chose the latter, for which he has beon repeatedly re- turned,
 In his discussions of the Irish re- bellion, '"T. F." took the stand that German plotters were responsible for the Dublin riots, and that the move inent was directed against the Irish party and hom rule,
 '|fre7and stands firm fer the cause of liberty and the rights of humanity" he declared, despite the cunning ef- forts of German pletters to involve her in their crimes against the prin- cip1es for which thousands of Irish men have given their lives in the trenches. The great majority of the people have shown their fitness for self-ru1e in the present crisis by turn ing deaf ears to the vaporings of a few insane fanatics who threatened to ruin the fabric of liberty so care fully constructed by the labor of patriots for years. The Irish people have rejected the insidious suggestion of the Germans that they sacrifice prosperity, the possession of the land and above all the Magma Charta of Irish liberty, the home rule bill, to mid a false and-falling cause or tyranny"

 Miss Cornell had alleged that the promise to marry her was made in Westminster Abbey, London. and that Lyon failed to keep the promise after she had given up her Fifth avenue es- tablishment and had gone to the de- fendant's home, 200 West Fifty-ninth street, to take charge of the house. hold.
 Miss Lyon said that 15 West Forty fourth street, in which, Miss Cornell once had her millinery shop, was merely one of her fathers city real estate holdings. She said that when Miss Cornell accompanied her and her father to Boston and stopped at the CopIey-Plaza she and Miss Cornell occupied the same room.
 "Did your father ever dance with Miss Cornell, as she alleges?" was asked.
 Certainly not" replied Miss Lyon. Papa didn't dance with anybody"
