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.

E. J. Fleming, Mrs. Fleming and two chil

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.

was never considered as having a chance.
La Morinlere was a warm favorite, but
was back in the ruck at the finish. It

CREATION OF NEW BANKS
ORGANIZATIONS UXDER THE PRO
VISION FOR SMALLER CAPITAL.
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

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:

Best Product of Machinery.
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.
