THE PART WOKEN WERE TO TAKE Blood of Annex-lean "Was to Be Free ly Let, lint Looting Wa Discour aged for Foreigm Effect. IdANILA, May 12. The great store of Insurgent documents discovered by Gen eral Funston, together with some Inter esting papers which Captain Smith found In the possession of General Pantaleon Garcia, throw Interesting side-lights upon the Filipino Government. Most Import ant of the lot is Agulnaldo's plan for the uprising In Manila, which was drawn by him at Malolos, is In his own handwrit ing m Tagalog language, and bears the date January 9, 1SS9. Pinned to the docu ment was a translation into Spanish done In the hand of Buencamlno. "Agulnaldo's order was addressed to his "valiant sand atlhans" or bolo tnen. When the word for the uprising was given they were to slay all American soldiers In Manila. The In habitants were to repair to the housetops, whence they were to hurl down upon the 60ldlers heavy furniture and any Iron Implements they might have, heated red hot. They were also to have ready In their houses hot water, which was to bo thrown upon passing soldiers or squirted at them from bamboo syringes. The wom en and children were exhorted to help In preparing the water and boiling oil, which they were to pass out to the men for use. Afterward the bolo men were to run through the streets slashing Americana wherever they met them. They were In structed not to stop to pick up the guns of soidiero they killed, these could be col lectpJ afterward. The bolo men were warned to restrain themselves from the tenptation to looting, because, as Aguln olilo explained, he was particularly de sirous to make good in the eyes of for eign nations his assertions that the Fili pinos were disciplined and civilized peo- pl. liTticular Injunctions were glven"for protecting tho banks, even the Spanish bank. Other Interesting papers related to the purchase and importation of arms. One letter concerning a consignment of Maus ers stated that the German Government would not allow them to be shipped from the country without a payment of $10 on each gun. Filibustering must have been a costly enterprise to the revolutionary government. It appears that one cargo consisting of 300 rifles and 500,000 rounds of ammunition cost J187.O00 Mexican mon ey before It reached the insurgents. Among the Items included Jn the bill of the gentleman who engineered the deal was one of J1000 for hotel bills in Hong Kong, and three other expenditures of several thousand, explained as "squeeze." which Is interpreted as bribes to officials to keep their eyes closed. Other letters Indicate that an American Consul at a Chinese port sold several ship ments of arms to Aguinaldo. In a letter trom Howard Brait. an Englishman, be longing tq the Hong Kong Junta, Aguin aldo Is warned that Mr. Spencer Pratt, the American Consul at Singapore, is "a d traitor." Agulnaldo's letter book contains copies of letters to all sorts of people, one to the Emperor of Japan, accompa nied by a gift of a sword, which was sent as a token of appreciation of the "kind ness" shown by the Japanese Government Jto the Filipinos, the nature of the kind ness being unexplained. These documents the authorities are sending to the War Department, and they are reticent about the exact contents. The publication in the Manila papers that letters were found implicating prominent business Arms in the city Is said by the gossips at the English Club to have brought great uneasiness to sundry guilty consciences. Records of contributions by Manila firms to the insurrection appear, but these are not surprising because for eigners in Manila considered it necessary to make such contributions by way of n surance upon their properties in the prov inces. Buencamlno, the Secretary of State fcr the FIllDino Revolutionary Government, who is In Manila, says that none of the really important secret papers were found; that among them was t correspondence with foreign governments and letters from prominent anti-Imperialists. Including the Hon. W. J. Bryan and Senator Hoar. All of these, hesays, were sent to Hong Kong last September for safekeeping In .ne .hands of the junta. The purport of the letters from anti-imperialists, according - o Ills recollection, was that the Filipinos should adhere to their demands for Inde pendency, and they wo.yld,yentualy Ue sustained by the American! voters. The;ilfe of an Insurgent General n these times Js like that of a fox with the hounds on his trail. General Pantaleon Garcia went to bed last Saturday night In the house of his friends at Jaen. Three days he had stayed in Jaen because he wos suffering from fever which the natives call calentura. This morning, ho.v?ver, he would move on. Before dayKrit a horse harnessed to a caromata wal'e.l be for the house. At the uncer;iuiv-i:s hour of 5 an American officer and two t-ol- diers entered the room. They saw a shirt' hanging .over a chair with the embroid ered ipAfjas "P. G.," and a man In Wd withnis head tied up In bandages. "What is your name?" asked Lieuten ant Day. "Pedro Gonzales." replied he man in bed, at tne same time handing out :i vbu Ing card whereon was printed Sonar Gonzales." Lieutenant Day pulled down the Dlar ket. locker; at the man's face, and com pared it with a picture from Harper's Weekly. Tvhich he carried. "Pan. Icon Garcia!" he exclaimed with conviction. The insurgent General meditated a mo ment. Then he replied in a tone of resig nation. "SI, Senor." The bedclothes being pulled down lt vealed "Panta" as the natives call htn, wearing his trousers. He was undoubt edly sick, and greatly appreciated the American rations and beer which he re ceived after being driven in his own caro mata to General Funston's headquarters. EXTENSIVE GUERRILLA WORK. Insurgent Svrarm Everywhere, and Collect Taxes Even In Manila. MANILA, May 13. "If we were fighting an army the work would be comparatively easy," ta'.d General MacArthur, in speak ing of the situation which confronted him when he assumed the office of Governor General. The report had come from Gen eral Young that Tinio and Aguinaldo were gathering a force In the Benguet Mountains, where they had been hunted and scattered Ave months before. The military were hoping that Tinio would form another army, because an army can fce located and followed, and if it will try to make a stand can be defeated, but such good fortune is Improbable. One rea son is that the Americans are so dis posed, covering most of the Important roads and passes, that it would be impos sible for more than a few hundred Fili pinos to attempt to assemble without many of them being discovered and head ed off, and another reason is that the Filipinos nave learned that they can han dicap the American programme more ef fectively by irregular operations. What General MacArthur has to fight is a secret organization, which amounts almost to a government, which exercises power to some extent, and enforces its de crees over all of Luzon and most of the other islands, which collects taxes here In Manila, and even .gives receipts for duties paid on the cargoes of native boats passing up the rivers ia the suburbs. The control of this underground organization Is reputed to be in the bands of a junta whose headquaatres are in Manila, nut so great is the loyalty or the fear which it commands that the authorities have been unable to trace Its roots, and the question whether it is identical with the famous Katlpunan Society Is an open one. Many of the elections of municipal gov ernments held by the American officers are controlled by the revolutionary or ganization, which selects the candidates, and some of these governments are un questionably efficient parts of Its ma chinery. Probably the men who are di recting the guerrilla activity in the towns know no superiors except the General who has authority In their province, although they may believe that Aguinaldo Is still the supreme head in fact as he is in the minds of the populace. The policy of the Insurgent machine is to repeat the Cuban revolution in the Philippines, to discourage conquest by so devastating the islands and keeping them in euch a state of war that they will be useless to the conquerors. Nowhere out side of the garrisoned towns can Ameri cans go except In large armed parties, un less the country for 20 miles south of Manila and 10 miles north be excepted. The provinces directly south of Manila and those north as far as Dagupan are the quietest of the island, and there schools and local governments are in op eration and much money Is being ex pended In building roads and other Im provements. The municipal governments prove useful under the strict supervision of the American officers, and the towns are cleaner and better administered than many American villages, but generally speaking the native officials have no Initia tive, and their efficiency without the pa ternal vigilance of tho American officers would be doubtful. The theory that the Filipinos outside of the Tagalog provinces were friendly to American rule has been deeply shaken "by recent -events. All of the northeast coayt beyond Dagupan is in a state of war, and there are frequent fights, with heavy loss to the Filipinos. AH of the southern prov inces Inhabited by the Visayans are also turbulent, and In the Caramrlnez, Neuva Casceres and Albay the Americana control only the territory within the picket lines of the garrisons in the coast towns, while these garrisons are the objects of fre quent attacks from large Insurgent forces. With the exception of Negros, which, be ing the wealthiest Island of the Philip pines, is the most friendly to American rule, the Vlsayah Islands show similar conditions. There are guerrilla bands in Negros which are preventing the sugar planters from putting In their crops by threats of burning the buildings, but American .authority controls throughout the Island, and the planters are organizing against the bandits. Panay is overrun by tho Insurgents outside of the American garrisons. They have 1500 or 2000 rifles, they levy a tax xf 50 per cent on all the crops planted, -which keeps the great majority of the inhabitants from putting in -more. than enough rice to keep. them alive, and tho Insurgent paymasters to go out from Ho Ilo with money collected for their troops. American officers from Cebu report that conditions there show no change from one year ago;, that outside of the dozen towns held by American troops the Insur gent forces control the country, while the troops in the garrisoned towns are under arms constantly, repelling attacks. Soldiers cannot even venture to the out skirts of the "City of Cebu in smaller parties than those, According to official -orders, and they are frequently fired upon in the city. An occasional expedition is sent into the country, but the Filipinos merely scatter before it, harrassing It aa much as they can in a small way, and return to the towns when tho soldiers withdraw. Similar conditions prevail In the great Vlsayan Islands "of Saraar and Leyte, where large Insurgent forces under General Luckban nave been repeatedly at tacking the garrisons, and the Americans lack sufficient troops to send punitive ex peditions to drive them Into the coun try. Mlndoro and Palawan, two of the largest islands of the archipelago, have not been visited by American soldiers. Throughout much of the Philippines the same sort of destruction and terrorism prevails that Cuba saw before the Ameri can intervention. The peaceful inhabi tants estimate that the armed insurgents bear the brunt of the suffering. In this sort of struggle for the mastery of the people the Insurgents hold the biggest cards. They do not hesitate to burn'a house wherein rice or shelter has been given to Americans nor to cut the throat of the head of the family who has Informed upon their movements. Ameri cans, on the other hand, are more soft hearted, and the most a native caught by them aiding the guerrillas expects is a few well-fed years In a comfortable prison, which is no dishonor. COMMISSIONERS' GREAT TASK. Heavy Work to Do In the Philippines The Week' Skirmishing:. MANILA, June ia-Judge William H. Taft and his colleagues of tho Philippine Civil Commission were beset during their first week In Manila by a multitude of callers of all nationalities, professions and interests, who presented a bewildering as sortment of recommendations touching military and civil policies. The Commis sioners maintained the attitude of un prejudiced listeners. They admit that while they anticipated an enormous task, the complexity and difficulty of the prob lems and conditions are well-nigh stag gering. They find General MacArthur admlnls terin"g civil and military affairs in a way that is universally popular. The Filipino party, embracing prominent insurrection-, ists who accepted American rule through force of circumstances, is already making overtures for the discussion of a scheme of permanent government, practically re viving the old proposition of autonomy under an American protectorate. Judge Taft's utterances Indicate a con ciliatory policy towards the natives. Ho lias conferred with the high Army of ficers, eomo of whom strongly urge that a larger army is necessary to suppress the insurrection, believing that civil gov ernment will be impossible until the ram pant rebellion Jn the southern districts of Luzon, In the extreme northern provinces of the island and in the VIsayas, except Negros. is crushedi. American experience with the natives discourages tho hope of honest govern ment through them, until a generation or more shall have eradicated the results of Spain's tutelage. A large proportion of the provincial officials already Installed nave proved treacherous, while the native police and officials here in Manila are liv ing on a scale of luxury suspiciously dis proportionate to their salaries. Charges against native Judges of failing to account for thousands of dollars received in fines are tinder Investigation. At the present tho governmental alter natives are the army on the one hand and anarchy on the other. General Otis' plan of municipal government is being inaugurated in the principal towns of Cen tral Luzon and In parts of the VIsayas, but the Fulplncperslst In thinking that the question whether the United States will retain the Philippines is still open, and some local leaders ask that municipal elections be postponed until after the Pres idential election. Tho future state of the church Is a lead ing question In the minds of many, al though most of those who have talked with Judge Taft and his colleagues draw the Inference that the Commifsioners are opposed to the reinstatement of friars. Archbishop Chapellc has taken a strong stand in supporting the request of the friars to bo established In their old posi tion. Aa a result of last week's scouting, more than 300 Filipinos were killed and 160 cap tured, while 140 rifles, with ammunition and stores, were seized. The American loss was nine killed, including a Captain and a Lieutenant; two Captains and 21 privates wounded and one Captain taken prisoner by the Fllip'nos. May shipments of coal from Seattle to San Francisco by water amounted to 20, 000 tons, 'or half of the total amount of J coal received at that port during May. KILLED IN TROLLEY CARS FOUR.

Tho dead are: Arthur Llscomb. George W. Baker, 15 months old. Lewis C. Sanborn, Providence. E. D. Burroughs, motorman. The Injured are: Lieutenant-Governor C. D. Kimball, Providence; C N. Kings Icy, Pawtucket; Mrs. Klngsley, Pawtucket; William Malllet. H. A. Palmer, H. T. Palmer, A. B. Brain, Mary Tourttlot, W. E. C BURROWS, THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE TRA J. Bogerdy, Owen J.

Fleming, Mrs. Fleming and two chil dren, unknown woman, 32 years old; J. E. Brown, F. E. Manchester, Oakland Beach; Henry Hanlon, car motorman; Claude E. Harris, conductor. 'Additions to the death list are hburly expected, as several of the injured are at the hospital In a precarious condition. The accident occurred through the ef forts of Motorman Burroughs to make a switch on the line, which Is a single track. He had been given signal to go ahead; and followed orders, with these results. The accident took place on the suburban line between this city and Oakland Beach, a Summer resort, 12 miles distant. OrdI narily the cars, run on a SO-rolnute sched- ule, but on Sunday the travel is extremely heavy, and today 15-mlnute time was" 'fn vogue. The car left the city terminus and before it had reached the outskirts of the city was packed, passengers even standing In the aisles. When the car reached Warwick Statjor. it stopped to al low passengers to alight. According to schedule, Conductor F. A. Manchester should have waited a few minutes at the turnout to allow the up-bound Oakland Beach car to pass. He rang tho signal to go ahead, and Motorman Edward Bur roughs pulled on his power, and the car was soon speeding at a lively rate. Ju.it beyond the station Is a curve, then a straight stretch of road, and then a sharp curve In a deep cut. It Is Impossible for a motorman to see beyond the curve, as on the left Is a high bank, hiding the rails from view. The regular car left Oakland Beach on Its trip to the turn-out at the Warwick Station. Suddenly there flashed before his vision a car sweeping toward him. The curve seemed to lend additional speed to tho cars. Quick as a flash Hanlon shut off his power and - applied his air brakes, which stopped the car Instantly. The down-bound car came on In "spite of the efforts of the motorman to check its speed. There was a crash and the cars tele scoped. The Oakland Beach car tore Its way through the other car, crushing all before It like an ess shell. On to tho fifth seat went the bunter of tho up bound car, carrying death and Injury In its wake. Motorman Burroughs was Instant ly killed. The scenes that followed were heartrend ing. Under the wreckage were inanimate bodies, while groans and shrieks of the Injured filled the air. Those who were not injured were frantic in their efforts to locate their companions. Calls were sent out for assistance, and a corps of doctors were soon at the scene. Willing hands helped to extricate the Injured, who were conveyed to the Warwick Station. Two car3 were equipped with cots and doctors and assistants were 'dispatched from this city to the wreck. The wound ed were placed on the cars and conveyed to the Elmwood station, where ambulances of the hospital were in waiting. Lewis C. Sanborn, who was injured In ternally, died on his way to the city. Mrs. Fred Andrews, a daughter of Mr. Sanborn, was conveyed to the hospital In a precari ous condition. Her injuries consisted of an arm and foot crushed. Her 6plne was also Injured. She Is reported delirious, and is not expected to live. The 15-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Baker was killed. His parents escaped with slight injuries. The fourth victim was Arthur Llscomb. Among the passengers was Lieutenant- Governor Charles D. Kimball. He was hurt Internally, end received a concussion of the brain. He was unable to be moved from the Warwick Station, and It Js thought that his Injuries will prove fatal Mary Tourillot is also fatally Injured, her back being broken. While the list of Injured is now num bered at 26, there are numerous persons whpse Injuries cannot yet "be determined. At the Hospital, where eight of lhe In jured were conveyed. It is stated that it is expected that two will not survive the night. The down-bound car was not equipped with air brakes, and hand'brakes were not equal to the emergency, andt In fact, had It been supplied with them, it is a ques tion whether the car could have been stopped in time. Fatal Runaway Accident. SUFFERN. N. Y.. June 10. Dr. Paul Glbier, aged 49 years, head of a sani- tar.um here and of the Pasteur Institute of New York, died at midnight last night from the effects of injuries received in a runaway. Dr. Gibier and his mother-In- law. Mre. Horen, 72 years old, started for a cxive last evening. The horse took fright, and dashed down the road. A wheel of tho vehicle caught In a tree, and Dr. Glbier and Mrs. Horen were thrown to the ground. Dr. Gaoler's head struck J on a stone, and be was rendered uncon- sclous. Mis. Horca was so badly stunned by her fall that ehe was unable to rise. The horse, with his harness trailing him, ran back home ard gave the alarm. Dr. Glbier died, about midnight without re gaining consciousness. Aside from the shock and a few "bruises, Mrs. Horen was not badly hurt. SURPRISE AT PARIS RACE. Baroa A.

It was thought that "Tod" Sloan would ride, but yesterday he telegraphed that' he could not,- and I. Relff was the only American Jockey in the race. Banorosa was never considered as having a chance. La Morinlere was a warm favorite, but was back in the ruck at the finish. It seemed to be Semendria's race from the moment the flag fell.

The one-mile match raco between Tom Cooper and Frank Kramer, at the Vailsburg bicycle track today, ended in a mix-up, after the men 'had raced three-quarters of a mile. When the pacemaker dropped out, Just before the three-quarter post, Cooper was In front. He started to pull up the bank from the pole, and Kramer 'tried to get through. Kramer's wheel caught Cooper's pedal, and the riders were thrown with terrific force. They remounted, and al though Kramer got a lead of 25 yards. Cooper passed him on the sprint home.

Nnsaber of Applications Approach las: 300 Actaal Incorpora tions Number 82. WASHINGTON. June 5. Special to New York Journal of Commerce. The applica tions for new National bank charters are settling dowh to a tnore solid basis than when they "were counted by the scores, of inquiries which were Tamed upon Con troller Dawes in the first few we-iks afifr the passage of the gold standard law. These Inquiries have run above 900 in number, but some of them are not likely to be prosecuted further than the original .1 inquiry. Such inquiries are answered by sending blanks to be filled up with the names of the required number of legal Incorporators, and with certain statements regarding the proposed capital and loca tion. When these blanks are received by the Controller, apparently filled cut In a bona fide manner, be takes up The ques tion of approving the application. This is Is not done 'without references as to the standing of the incorporators,, although this step is only preliminary to those which authorize the bank to begin business. The approved applications since the gold standard law'took effect on March 14, for all classes of National bank charters have reached 238. . Of these 264 applications have teen for banks with a capital of less than ?30,000, under the authority of the new law. Perhaps 40 per cent of these applications come from state and "private banks already in existence which are Seek ing admission to the National system. Their total capitalization Is $6,SOS,000. The applications fbr larger banks have been coming in quite largely since March 14, partly stimulated by the general activity of business, but partly also by "the advan tages In respect to 'circulation offered un der the refunding features' of 'the new law. The State of Iowa stands at the head -n the number and capital of the small banks seeking National charters. Pennsylvania ranks second, with Texas and several Western States fighting for the remaining places. Kentucky is far in the lead in the organization of banks -with a capital of $50,000 or more, ' as the result of certain consolidations which are going on in that state. The following table exhibits the ap proved applications for National bank charters by states from March 14 to May SI: Capital ' Capital less than 550,000 State No. '$50,000. No. or moro.

J6.80S.000 72 $S,305,C00 The banks which have actually been or ganlz'ed and .authorized to begin business since "alarch '14 have numbered 119. The number of small banks Incorporated under the new law has been 82, with a capital stock of $2.75,XX)0, and the number of larger banks haslbeen 37, with a capital of $5,075, 000. The highest record of incorporations of small banks is shown in Illinois, where eight have been organized with a capital of $220,000. Iowa follows with eight banks having a combined capital of $215,000, and then comes Nebraska with seven banks and a combined capital of $185,000. One of the remarkable facts in regard to these new incorporations Is the small proportion of bonds which have been deposited to se cure circulation. A combined capital of $7",250,000 shows bond deposits of only $2,236, SC0, or a trifle more than 30 per cent of capital. This indicates plainly that many banks have deposited only the minimum requirement In respect to bonds 25 ptr cent of the capital -where the capital Is not more than $150,000. In some cases the deposits of bonds run up to 40 and 50 per' cent, nut in nardly any case to tho full amount of circulation to which the bank would be entitled upon Its capital. At this rate of increase the creation of 600 new National ba,nks, which wOl probably be the maximum increase for a year or more. would result In an Increase In circulation of only $4,500,000 if each bank had a capital of $25,000. While the capitals will be larger In a few cases, they will not raise the net Increase In bank note circulation re sulting from the creation of small banks above $5,000,000 or $6,000,000. The lapse of two and a half months, from March 14 to the close of May, has wit nessed a net Increase of 114 National banks and a net increase in total capital of $6, 965,000. These, figures are of more interest than those of the circulation presented in the table below, because a large Increase in circulation had already taken place be tween the close of 1SS9 and March 14 In an ticipation of the new law. The Increase between these two dates In bonds on de posit was about $10,000,000, so that this amount should be added to the amount shown In the table to afford the real meas ure of the Increase due to the law. With an Increase In bond deposits of about $42,000,000 shown by this allowance and an authorized Increase in circulation of $23, 500.000 up to par of the bonds pledged at the close of 1899, a net Increase of some thing over $65,000,000 Is in sight upon pres ent deposits of bonds since the close of last year. The actual figures on March 14 and May 31 appear In the following table: March 14. May3L Increase.

New York Mall and Express. The 13th annual report of the United States Commissioner of Labor, Carroll D. Wright, shows that in the vast multipli cation of the products of labor in almost every mechanical line the result has been the employment of a greatly increased number of workmen, a material advance In the compensation of labor, and a re duction of the cost of production. The products have been cheapened as well as multiplied, and this fact, together with the payment of better wages to workmen, has vastly increased the power of con sumption, so that the enjoyment of the varied fruits of Industry has kept pace with their creation. It Is worth noting that the gain of those who do he actual work has been attended by a constantly dimbilshing rate of profit for those who furnish the capital, on account of the enormously increased scale upon which the processes of production can be carried on. While aggregate returns upon investments of capital are greatly enhanced, the per centage that goes to profit has- diminished with the increase of that which goes to wages. But the most beneficent effect of the greatly developed use of machinery In the last half.century.and the consequent mul- tlpllcation of the products of labor Is the unquestionable Improvement In the well being of the mass of the people, which is always of necessity made up of work era for wages. -This improvrtnent is Im plied in the increased capacity for con sumption, due to higher wage-i and cheap--et goods.- and in the actually increased consumption necessary to the disposal of me proaucrs or laDor. While the enjoy ment of the comforts and business of life has become more and more Keneral. has been accompanied by greater leisure on tne part of all classes, by a wider spread of education and a larger indul gence in amusements and diversions. In short, the improvement in the condition of the forces of labor has been not merer ly material, but mental and moral as well, so that the progress of mankind toward a higher level has been greatly acceler ated. ' MURDER AS A FINE ART. Evidence That De Qnlaccy "Was Not Aa Authority on the Sabject. "So they located him in St. Louis and they hanged him In Chicago inside of a year all because of half a broken cuff button in the dead man's room. It was a little thing, but some such little thing Is always thereto tell the, tale. Murder will out," and the police Inspector stretched his feet on the opposite seat of the smoking compartment and leaned back with, the air of a man. who has thoroughly demonstrated his proposition, says the Now York Sun. "Yes, murder will out maybe," replied the mining engineer, as he adjusted the stern fragment of a cigar Into an amber holder for a new lease of smoke. "There io nothing that strikes me" as more palpa blr inconclusive than that same quotation. Of course, some murders come out, and it is only thoso that do come out that stand any chance of" being identified aa murders. Take a practical view of It. If a really crafty man wants to commit a murder, do you suppose he la going to knock his game on the head with a club or shoot him, up a vhole lot on the public highway? Talk about De Qulncey's 'Mur der As a Fine Ait!' I never could see any art about It, All of his murders were clumcy butcheries, without any character to them, except buckets of blood. Why, I knew an engineer of an electric plant down In South America who 'could have given De Qulncey points and who put hte man out of the way so that the Coroner didn't think it worth while to hold an Inquest. "You see they had put In an electric-. light plant In Caracas along with an ice machine and some artesian wells, so the town was feeling pretty metropolitan. The company had to take all its help down there from the States, but when the plant was up and running they eent the most of them back or drafted them off on other jobs, so that about all they icept were a few linemen and the engineer and his assistant. These two engineers were thrown together all the time, slept In the same quarters, ate at the same table and quite naturally in three, months were ready to kill each other on "sight. The as sistant taught the chief poker, and the chief developed rapidly, and pretty soon put his Instructor Into the hole for about two months' wages. It was Summer; the weather was muggy as the Inside of a Turkish bath; they hated each other, and had nobody else to talk to; they played cards in self-defense after work was over, and they snarled over every Jackpot. The weather was In their nerves till they felt as "though yellow fever with a furlough attached would be an undisguised bless ing. The assistant couldn't see any way of winning himself out of the hole, and he made up his mind to get even and quit or kill the chief. So one night when the other had thrown out some slur about people that played for paper because It was easy paid, the assistant made the chief a proposition to play him one cold hand double or quits. The chief held something like a full house to a four flush, and then the-other made up his mind to kill him and put -an end to It all. ' "It was before the days of direct con nected dynamon, and the plant, was 'fixed with an-old Westinghouse horizontal en-' gine and a belt-connected double brush dynamo set at the other end of the room, far enough off to give the belt a good sway on the pulleys. He told me he often sat smoking and figuring Just how he could get rid of the chief. He was prejudiced against poison, because he didn't think It could be worked without leaving a clue. He thought sometimes of tripping the old man Into the fly -wheel when the plant was running, but there might be some hitch about that, as the firemen were always Just in the boiler room, and besides the chief didn't drink, and engineers don't stumble Into their machines whea they are sober. Finally he hit what he thought was a good plan. "The old man, who wasn't any older rthan his assistant, always oiled around just at midnight. When the chief looked at the clock andi started after his ol' can, the assistant went to the clceet and took out a good-sized wad of waste and dipped it 5n the water bucket. Then he walked up close to the driving wheel of the engine. Naturally the driving wheel was bigger than the pulley wheel of the dynamo, so the belt ran on a down grade to the small pulley, passing right alongside the brass oil cup on the main journal. When the chief lifted the cap of the oil cup the assistant called to the dago in the flreroom to lend him a match. That was merely to get a witness on hand. Then he dropped his wad of wet waste on the running belt and walked toward the flreroom door. The wad of wasto stuck where It was dropped and wae car ried down like a flash by the belt. It fetched up slap between the oil cup and the brushes and grounded 2000 volts of al ternating current right through the chiefs hand. The lights blinked just as the dago showed up In the doorway, and this call ing the assistant's attention to what had happened, he reached over and yanked the belt off the driver, at the imminent risk of losing his own arm. The engine raced a bit, but he shut her down before any harm was done, and then they struck a light and went to the assistance of the chief. But it was too late. He died with out ever recovering consciousness. The fireman, who didn't know the difference between oil and water In a piece of waste, told marvelous tales about the assistant's quick action In shutting down the plant, and tho directors of the company gave him the chiefs vacant berth along with a raise of wages and a beautiful letter com pllmenting him oh his courage and promp titude in the emergency. "He worked a dredge engine for me afterward down on the coast, and when he was about passing out with chagres fever he told me the story to ease his 3?or Infants and Children.

After midnight, the mob, after overpower ing a Deputy Sheriff ori guard, dragged the negroes away, tied them back to back and swung them up to the same tree. Their bodies were riddled with bullets, and after death ensued, were set on fire. Tho nauseating smell of burning flesh could be. detected for miles around.

The employes of the street railroad company of that city have been uii uiriKe since jiay . uney are navmg things very much thejr own way. No body Is permitted to- ride on the street cars if they can prevent it by threats or violence. There is rioting- every day irt many parte of the city. Business is either suspended or much interfered with, and; is carried on under great difficulties. The comfort and convenience of the peo ple of the entire city are sacrificed to the lawless will of the strikers, and the loss In money is already enormous. The authorities of the city and state are unable or unwilling- to suppress the disorder. They have called upon private citizens to form a: posse to help them quell the rioting; These St. Louis strikers simply prac tice what Bryan preaches.
