REPORTS UPON ALASKA
OOUFZULTlOy OF "WORKS OV VARI
OUS MILITARY EXPEDITIOXS.
Data of 10 Exploration Parties Ee-
uraneed and Brought "Within tbe
Compass of One Volume.
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 20,-The "War De
portment for some time past has been
preparing a most Interesting document
on Alaska. It Is a compilation of all tbe
reports that have been made of the mili
tary expeditions that have been sent
Into that great territory for the purpose
of fathering Information as to its char
actor, people, resources, and capabilities.
This -work, when completed, -will make
s. large document of 825 pages, together
with a choice collection of photographic
views, and all the maps that have been
submitted by the various military ex
plorers. Many of the reports submitted
"were written in the form of a diary, and
were hardly suitable for a public docu
ment. These have been worked over, and
"written up In a purely narrative form,
detailing the various trips In chronolog
ical order.
Up to the present year there have been
IS military exploring parties sent into
Alaska. The first was under command of
Captain Raymond, and set out In 1S63.
Following him was the Howard expedition
of 1S75. In I860 Petrof made a third trip,
Sollowed by Schwatka In 18S3. Other
trips In their order were made by Ray
and Asnbercromble In IBS; Allen In 1SS5;
Ray and E. Hazard Wells In 1897; Ray.
JUchardson. Abercromble and Glenn In 1898
and Richardson, Glenn, Abercromble and
Herron In 1899.
Perhaps no single volume yet compiled
will contain as much valuable and reliable
Information on Alaska as this volume on
the rolltary explorations. The publication
of this work was authorized by a resolu
tion drawn up and put through the Sen
ate by Senator Carter, of Montana, who
seems to have become sponsor for the
great Northewestern territory. The flrst
edition Is limited to 4000 copies, but a great
rush is expected, which will .necessitate a
Becond and larger edition soon after Con
gress convenes next December. This pa
per will be issued as a Senate document,
and will be ready for distribution In about
a month. The sheets have already been
run off, and the binder now awaits the
delivery of the maps and Illustrations be
fore completing the work.
Grazing: on Public Lands.
The officials of the Interior and Agricul
tural Departments, no less than the sheep
and cattlemen of the great "West, are deep
ly concerned over the question of grazing
on the public lands and in the forest res
ervations, and aro apparently no nearer
a solution of the great problem than are
the two classes who are constantly In con
tention for superior rights. One of the
experienced officials In the Interior De
partment, who is familiar with this ques
tion, one side and the other, says that the
ultimate result will be that grazing will
be permitted In the reserves, a portion of
the grazing lands being allotted to the
6heopmen and another portion to the cat
tlemen, thus dispensing with the factional
fight between these two classes.
This same official In further discussing
the grazing question, said that the In
terests of the grazer and the forester
were bound to conflict, and that a com
promise would have to be made by both
sides. According to his view, the sheep
Industry and the cattle Industry must be'
protected. Just as much as the timber In
dustry The one should not be cut off
for the other. He is inclined to blame
the foresters for taking so narrow a
view of the situation, for he says they
can see the trews and nothing more. He
admits that grazing may do some harm
to the forest growths, but not enough
to injure the output. In most of the
"Western states the sheep have no other
pasture than that on the mountain sides,
and in many states these very lands
are embraced within the forest reser
vations. If the sheep are cut off from
these grazing patches, they are without
fodder during the Summer months, al
though no difficulty Is experienced In
the Winter, when the lowlands furnish
ample pasturage. The damage that Is
done the undergrowth in the forests due
to the passage of the herds is not of
any material consequence, and It cer
tainly does no harm to allow the sheep
to graze in the open areas of the re
serves, where there is nothing but grass
t be found. The same thing applies to
cattle, only sheep and cattle cannot be
grazed on the same area. It is asserted
by Land Office officials that where graz
ing has been permitted on forest re
serves, no damage of any consequence
has resulted, and where grazing has been
prohibited, there Is nothing stronger
against it that the sentiment of the for
osters. Already Secretary Wilson, of the
Agricultural Department, and Commis
sioner Hermann, of the Land Office, are
convinced of the advisability of permit
ting grazing on the forest reservations,
and many of the officials of the Geologi
cal Survey, who are also interested, are
Inclined to the broader view. Secretary
Hitchcock Is billing to be convinced, but
he demands a good showing of evidence
before he finally commits himself to the
grazing principle.
Forest Destruction.
In this same connection, ihe question
of the destruction of the forests of the
Paoinc Coast came up A most Interest
ing map of the State of Washington was
brought out to show how the forests of
that state, (and that state Is considered
a fair example of its neighbor, Oregon),
havo been destroyed or cut away in the
past 36 years or so. The areas where the
timber had been cut i ere clearly marked,
and the areas where the timber had
been destroyed by fire were as distinctly
shewn. It Is a remarkable and alarming
fact that the two areas about balanced.
It may be said, however, that the forest
fires that work such great destruction are
doing but little damage now compared to
what they did before so thorough and
systematic a patrol was kept. It Is true
that where the fires raged a number of
years ago. new growths of trees have
tprung up. The same Is true of the areas
that have been cut away. The fact that
large areas have been cleaned off or
bunted off does not mean that those
areas are now barren. On the other hand
they constitute the younger forests of
the groat Northwest, and will be avail
able when those areas now being worked
have been cut down. The Department
feels highly gratified to know that the
people have at last realized the mean
ing f extensive forest fires, and appre
ciate the commercial loss that follows
each conflagration.
Timber Thnt I Timber.
But returning to the map above referred
to. In addition to the burned and cut
areas, the timber areas were marked It
was rather peculiar, however, that the
heavy timbered areas at the western end
of the Olympic reserve were not marked,
nor were the heavy forests In some por
tions ef the southwestern corner of the
state. When asked the reason why these
forests were not shown, the official said:
"This raap Is made up almost entirely
upon reports submitted by cruisers who
have gone over the state and located thp
forests that are readily accessible to the
railroads and markets. The forests on
the western end of the Olympic reserve
are not easily accessible; In fact, are
new practically beyond the reach of the
lumbermen, and on this account they
were net reported. The same, you will
observe. Is true of the heavy forests on
the west slope of the Cascade range, in
the northern end of the state. These for
ests cannot be profitably worked, and
have been, overlooked. Then, too, many
sections that are heavily wooded were
not noted because the lumberman of Ore
gon or Washington does net notice or cut
trees that are less than two feet in diam
eter. I venture to say, however, that if
a Michigan lumberman were to go over
the state and mark out the merchantable
Umber of either Washington or Oregon,
ha would report 100 times as much as
has been reported to us. The reason Is
simply this: In. Michigan they do not have
such trees as have enriched the North
Pacific forests, and they call a tree of
eight inches diameter a merchantable
size. Consequently they would notice
thousands of trees that the Washington
lumberman would never see. The forests
of Oregon and Washington are the rich
est I Toaow of, and while they are perhaps
being cut away now faster than they
aro growing up. I do -not believe they
will be Injured, for if much of this timber
is not used now it will die before It can
be cut. TVhen a safe stage has been
reached, the lumbermen will exercise a
proper judgment In the amount of tim
ber they cut."
Ing-nlln in the Senate.
John J. Ingalls had been out of public
life eight years before his death, but he
had not been out of public view. He
was a man who could not avoid being
notorious In some form or other. He
was of that peculiar type that was bound
to keep himself advertised and talked
about. Ingalls spent 18 years In the Sen
ate, but it Is doubtful If he left his Im
press upon any legislation In that time,
although he arose to a height of what Is
called leadership, or at least he was des
ignated as president pro tem of the Sen
ate, which while not the highest honor
In the gift of the body, is one that is
only conferred upon, some man who se
cures much prominence. But more than
that, Ingalls was a first-class parliamen
tarian, and he was one of the most pic
turesque presiding officers that the Sen
ate has had. Unlike the present pro tem,
Frye, he did not sink himself in the office
of presiding officer, but ho would occa
sionally go upon the floor of the Senate
In, order to make a speech or to take
part in any debate that might occur.
Although he was an extremely nervous
man. he would sit for hours with his
arm hooked over the back of a chair,
and in the same rigid position listening
to the long speeches that were made not
listening, but apparently listening and
would never move a muscle. His rulings
as presiding officer were universally Just
and acceptable to all the Senators. Al
though a rank partisan, he never carried
it into his position as presiding officer.
His Partisanship.
Ingalls was a vicious partisan, and he
attacked his opponents on the Democratic
side with such vigor that he made him
self personally obnoxious ?& most of
them. Ingalls was a man who usually
bided his time, and when ho did finally
attack a Senator of the opposition he
made himself felt I remember particu
larly that there were two Senators on
the Democratic side, now dead, who were
made to suffer from Ingalls' vicious at
tacks. One was the late Dan Voorhees,
of Indiana. The lashing which he gave
the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" is
remembered and commented on to this
day. The other whom he attacked was
Joe Bown, of Georgia. It appeared that
Brown had made a speech, and after it
was all over he thought df something
thafc would make it read better, and in
serted a line which was rather a vicious
stab at Ingalls. Ingalls read the Record
In the morning, and saw that a line had
been Inserted that he had not heard on
the floor, and he at once got the official
stenographer's notes, and also communi
cated with the Government Printing Of
fice, and found that the line had been
Inserted by Senator Brown. Rising to a
question of personal privilege, he com
mented upon tills insertion and tamper
ing with the records of the Senate. "Sup
pose," he said, "that in the distant future
Alaska shold be admitted as a state.
And it would be represented on this floor
by some Senator who was opposed to me
politically, to whose remarks I might
take exception. Suppose after the debate
had ended I should Insert at the end of
my speech, not having the courage to
say It on the floor, that the Senator from
Alaska was a mean, miserable, lying,
sneaking hypocrite, washing hia hands In
Invisible water, as did Uriah Heap in
Dickens' famous novel!" This reference
to Joe Brown was so pointed, as he did
have a habit of sitting and rubbing his
hands together, that everybody in the
Senate and everybody in the gal
leries who knew the people were
aware that Ingalls was referring directly
to the Senator from Georgia. An at
tempted reply on the part of Brown was
an entire failure. Ingalls vlclousneas
was too much, an.d nobody remembers
what Brown said.
A Victim of Populism.
While It would not probably be quite
true to say that John J. Ingalls was a
victim of populism, he was to a certain
extent thrown out of public life by the
wave of populism that swept over the
State of Kansas. But had he maintained
a straight-out Republican doctrine and
held steadfastly to what he honestly be
lieved to be right. It Is possible that while
he might have had to spend a certain
time in private life, the return of the
Republicans to power In Kansas might
have been marked by his return to the'
Senate. As It was, he was a temporizer.
When the free-silver craze was sweep
ing over the country, he allowed himself
to be drawn Into the whirlpool. He voted
for a free-silver bill In the 51st Congress
when he knew that It was bad legisla
tion, and when It looked as If his bill
was to be pushed through the House, he
went over to that body and used his In
fluence with the members of the House
to get them to thwart Speaker Reed In
an effort to throttle the sliver bill, which
Reed finally accomplished. To save him
self, he became a free-silver man, but
his belief was entirely on the other side,
and he knew It was right. His vote for
free silver did not save him from the
Kansas Populists, nor did It m after life
restore him to the confidence of the
Republicans when they again regained
power In Kansas.
A Loss to the Senate.
Everybody recognized that Ingalls was
a distinct loss to the Senate, especially
from a news standpoint. He was a man
of great oratorical ability, who made
himself felt when he made a speech, and
one whose words were listened to with
a great deal of care. He was not only
a picturesque figure, but he was one man
to whom the newspaper men appealed for
a good story and a good Interview on the
topics of the day. There were many
other men left In the Senate who might
havo been better spared than Ingalls, and
there are many now who do not figure as
prominently In public life as he did dur
ing his career. Had he the sincerity
necessary for stability, he would have
been known as one of the great men of
his time. A man of his ability In ora
tory had no necessity for recourse to
plagiarism In making his speeches, and
yet In one of the most remarkable eulo
gistic utterances he delivered, upon the
death of James Burns, of Missouri, In
galls plagiarized from the French priest,
and the speeches were published side by
side to prove It on him. Such things as
that did not affect Ingalls to any degree,
but It showed a certain lack In the man
which prevented him from becoming the
statesman that his ability should, have
made of him.

This great public improvement, which has been
long needed In the effort to rehabilitate the

Herald.
The structure will run from. West New York
across the Hudson. It will havo six tracks for
steam railroads on the main level and four
trolloy tracks, a roadway and pedestrian and
cycle paths on the upper deck, constituting the
most complete brldsre structure over planned.
This bridge Is a combination of the suspension
and cantilever principles.
The cost of construction Is estimated at more
than $1,000,000 per mile. This, of course, does
not Include the ornamentation of the boulevard
and the carriage "approaches and stairways for
pedestrians and bicyclists, all of which are
matters of detail to bo considered later, and
which may be elaborated according' to the gen

untiring In his research and study of the ques-

Illuminated the white gowns of the sing
ers and fell In soft splendor upon the up
lifted cross as it was planted upright In
the earth facing the west. "The service
that followed was sufficiently brief and
varied to hold the reverent attention of
all present, and It was observed that some
of the young children, a large number
of whom were present, were among the
most interested listeners. The "Magnificat"
and "Nunc Dlmlttls" were sung with very
beautiful effect by the combined choirs,
who had been carefully trained for the
occasion by Mr. Lighter, choirmaster of
Trinity Church. The hymns were very
happily chosen, being peculiarly appropri
ate for eventide and the big congrega
tion joined heartily In such familiar tunes
as "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name,"
and "Jerusalem ,the Golden."
The sermon was preached by Rev. B.
T. Simpson, of All Saints' Mission, who
had been specially requested to deliver
It by Bishop Morris. His text was St
Paul's words: "God forbid that I should
glory, save In the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ." He said that while It might at
flrst thought appear strange for him to
select such a theme for a sermon 'under
the trees with all the beauty of God's
world spread before them, In reality there
was a real and vital connection between
the two. "For," said he, "this great
country, in whose freedom we glory, this
noble State of Oregon of whose grandeur
and beauty we boast, aro the work of
love, almighty power and love working
together. He created all things In heaven
and earth. He showed his love when he
died for us on the cross, but even before
that he had shown It when he created the
world for us. From the creation his work
of love had been going on till finished
on the ,Cross of Calvary. Finished? No.
even now It Is showing Itself In a multi
tude of ways in all the forces of our
modern civilization, even In the electricity
that sends our messages around the globe.
Yet he did not pride himself in his power,
but humbled himself even unto death, the
death of the cross. He passed through our
own experiences, and took upon himself
not only the body of man but the life
of man In all Its great existence.
"But It was on the cross that his love
showed Itself In all Its fullness. He had
seen men, breaking the laws of God, and
knew that just retribution must follow,
so ho came to earth that he might re
deem them. But man would not believe
that he was God. and he was put to death.
Thus absolute good was oppressed by
evil, but conquered evil on the cross.
And this Is why we glory In the cross.
It stands for perfect submission to tho
law of love.
"Now man should follow absolutely In
his dally life this law, of love, by taking
up each day the cross of suffering and
self-denial. But does ho do this?"
"Oh, you business men!" exclaimed the
speaker, with fiery earnestness, "you who
call yourselves Christians and bow your
heads at the cross of Christ,1 do you put
this law of- love Into your dally lives on
the street and at the desk? Are you will
ing to sacrifice your own Interests for the
good of your neighbor when justice de
mands It? Or do you but confine this
Jaw of love to your own little family cir
cle, to those who love you? Who among
you ever extends It to your enemies,
those who curse you and dcspltefully use
you? When on one side you see dollars
that easily but unlawfully can be made
yours, and on the other side righteous
living In poverty, which do you choose?
Is it not often the Illicit gain, the fortune
that belongs by right to others?
"There Is hardly anyone present amon.g
you today In this meeting, but has rank
ling deep down In your heart, some Insult
unforgiven. That Is the cross that today
you bhould take up. Christ says that not
seven times, but seventy times seven
should you forgive your enemy. If you
can do this, then your Christianity means
something. But God gives you not only
the cross, but the strength also with
which to carry it. Even Christ was not
able to carry his cross of his own
strength.
"Let us bo willing to suffer, each for
the other, and lighten the load of our
neighbor through love. Then when death
comes at last, we will carry Into the
prcen.ee of God the marks of the Lord
Jesus, who gave us a hard road to travel,
but his own strength for the journey."
AXXTJAL MISSION FESTIVAL.
German Lutheran Churches Hold
Two Services in Holladay Parle
The annual mission festival of the Uer-
man Lutheran churches of Portland was
held, yesterday forenobn in Holladay
Park, East Side. Most of the members
of tbe congregations spent the day In the
park; taking their lunch under the trees.
These annual mission festivals are held
for the purpose of promoting and stim
ulating a sentiment In behalf of the mis
sion work of the cEurch. Under the direc
tion of the German Lutherans there are
12 missions, which Include Home. Freed
men '(negroes, Indians, English, Estonian
and Lettonlan (among the Russians) In
dia, and among the deaf .mutes of the
membership. Much attention Is given
also to the establishment and mainten
ance of parochial schools for education
of the children of the members In the
German and English branches and In the
.doctrines of the German Lutheran church.
The main bDject of the schools Is to
ground tho cnlldren 1n the phurch doc
trine, while not neglectfttg other branches
of education. These festivals, such as
was held yesterday, are to promote all
these Interests. t '
Thero were two services. At the morn

WHAT'S IN THEIR NAMES.
Chinamen Start Out With. One and
Usually End Up With. Six.
'New York Sun. ,
,Yang Phon Lee, one of the educated
Chinamen of this city, in speaking of
Chinese nomenclature, said:
. "The majority of the names that you
see on signs of laundries or tea stores
kept, by Chinamen are simply fancy
names adopted for their auspicious sig
nificance; for Instance, 'Hop Sing,' means
'deserving of prosperity.' Woh Long'
means 'Buccess through concord;' 'Nee
Wah' means 'integrity and harmony.'
They are simply mottoes, having no ref
erence to the proprietors or the members
of a firm whatsoever. To call the pro
prietor of a laundry 'Nee Wah' Is ab
surd. "Every properly constituted Chinaman
has five names besides his surname or
cognomen. The last Is fixed or handed
down from one generation tb another.
Thero aro more than 300 patronymics
known in China. Their derivation Is
various and Instructive, and they embody
In their curious helroglyphlc shapes many
an historic truth and reference to dynas
tic changes.
. "The family of Wu comes from the feu
dal system of China, which existed for
2000 years. It was abolished by the first
emperor of Tsln dynasty. He It was who
built the great wall.
"The name Lee, which you think has
been assumed by me, Is merely my Chi
nese surname spelled with English let-
ters. Lee In Chinese means 'a plum,' and
Is identical with LI, the surname of Li
Hung Chang. But I prefer the long
sound in double e to the short; to which
some may by mistake give the long sound
and make the name like He. I have
not the honor of being the great Minis
ter's relation. I haven't the claim of even
being a 45th cousin. For Lee, or LI, Is
as common In China as Smith Is here,
and Is borne by a larger number of per
sons than any other name.
"Every male child born In China Is
first called by his 'milk name.' When
he grows old enough to attend school he
j takes a 'book name.' When he has
learnea tne mysteries or composition ne
competes for literary honors under an
assumed name, which 13 finally adopted.
When he successfully passes his exam
inations and obtains nls degree his equals
address him by another, either coined
by them or adopted by him." At his mar
riage he adopts still another, called
'style.'
"In addition to those enumerated, nick
names aro also common. They are all
fanciful. We do not have any convention
al 'Thomas.' 'Richard' or 'Henry.' All
our names are words which mean some
thing, and aro taken from the dictionary.
For example, Yan means -by Imperial fa-
I vor, and Phou or iToo signifies wealth
that Is, wealth by tho Emperor's favor.
Girls generally have only the 'milk name,'
and oftentimes, especially when they have
grown to be women, they are simply des
ignated by numbers according to the
order of their birth."

Chicago News.
There is a pretty custom in vogue in
Denmark which might with advantage be
copied here. During the Summer holidays
an arrangement Is made by which little
Danes from town and country change
places. The parents of town children
send their little folks off to the country,
and receive In exchange country children.
The result Is that the town children are
strengthened and gladdened with country-air
sights, while the little rustics en-
I joy the pleasures of town life and the
festivals which are for their benefit. This
exchange system results in 10,000 children
from Copenhagen getting a country holi
day, and another 10,000 are brightened- up
by a visit to the Danish capital.

they would win, but did not expect them
to got along so rapidly. Our British cou

rejoice In their success. We know that
It means a better government for the
Transvaal and Orange Free State than
they have ever hitherto enjoyed. I trust
the people of those two republics will
"know when they are whipped, and will
accept British rule for the good It will
"bring them, without carrying on a guer
rilla warfare that will benefit no one,
but bring disaster to many peaceful

How Filipinos Are Deceived.
This guerrilla warfare Is the great
trouble over here now. Although their
armies have been whipped at every point,
and all tho principal towns and sea
ports are garrisoned by our troops, the
struggle does not cease. Most of the
intelligent people, with whom I have
talked, realize that the Americans will
give them a better government than
they could possibly organize themselves.
They are also beginning to appreciate
our good Intentions. But the leaders of
the Insurrection obstinately refuse to see
this and encourage their Ignorant fol
lowers to continue the struggle by all
kinds of lies, promises, and deceptions.
They hold many in the ranks by telling
them that the Americans are non-believers
in God and enemies of theh
churoh. At a meeting of the Cabezas,
or heads of the barrios, in this district
yesterday, I called their attention to this
lie. I told them that the United States
Government was very friendly to the
Catholic Church, and that there were
more Catholics In the United States than
there are in the Philippines. This may
not be strictly accurate, but I presume
It is nearly so. I Instructed them to
spread this information to the people,
who are extremely fanatical on the sub
ject of religion.
Then there Is another straw of hope
which they cling to. Their leaders know
that there Is a great political contest
being waged In the United States this
year that will culminate In the Presi
dential election next November. They
hope that a possible change In the ad
ministration of the Government and the
substitution of one of the great political
parties for the other In power will re
sult In the calling home of our troops
from these Islands. So they encourage
their followers to continue the contest
till November.
Another one of their lies Is that the
Germans are going to make war on the
United States, and will send troops to
help out the Filipinos.
Leaders Out for the Money.
The Insurgent General Pana was here
at Llbmanan three different times be
fore the Americans came. Pana is a
Chinese Filipino, being, it Is said, a full
blooded Chinaman, but a naturalized Fili
pino. A lot of Tagalo officers were with
him, and they put on style galore. Pana
had natives to carry him around in a
sort of chair or palanquin; his fingers
were covered with diamonds; he had a
diamond-studded watch, wore gold
buckles on his shoes, and golden shoulder
straps on his coat. The band played,
and they danced every night. Everybody
was called on for contributlona to pay
the insurgent soldiers, and to buy uni
forms, arms, and ammunition. Those
who did not want to contribute were
threatened with death if they refused.
The poorest natives contributed a peso,
and others, according to their wealth,
all the way from 10 to a 10CO pesos. Enor
mous sums were raised In this way.
No one seems to know what became of
the money. It seems quite certain that
the Filipino soldiers got very little of It.
When Pana was captured by the Ameri
cans he had, I am told, a large sum of
money with him which he claimed as
his personal property. The leaders have
found thel Insurrection a profitable thing,
and they want to keep it up. A few of
them, no doubt, are true patriots, but
the majority are of the kind- here de
scribed. Only a short time ago General
Ludovico Arehola had General Penla
killed, because he heard that Penla was
trying to get away to Manila with all the
money In his possession, and give himself
up to the Americans. Of course, there
he would claim the money as his private
property. At least, so the story goes
here.
Hiking: for Guerrillas.
On May 23, Captain Rogers, Forty-fifth
Infantry, came over from .Nueva Caceres
with 70 men of Company K. He went out
the next day, taking two days' rations and
scouting to Blcol and Slpocot. Ho struck
the insurgents both days and skirmished
with them at long range. Several of their
number were seen to fall, so it seems
probable that some of them were killed.
On the 24th, Captain Green, Eleventh Cav
alry, reported on the other side of the
river with 40 troopers. I furnished him
a guide and he went on up the river the
next day to Blcol. crossed near there,
went to Slpocot, and came In to Llbmanan
on the 26th. He saw no Insurgents. May
27, Green, with his cavalry. Lieutenant
Ryan with 41 men of K. Company, tho
rest of the company as well as Captain
Rogers being- prostrated by the heat, my
self and nine mounted men of Company
L, two police and two guides, went on a
two days hike. -Green went to Slpocot
and crossed the hills to Barcelona, on the
bay, where I joined him at night. Ryan,
with his men stayed all night at Calum
plnay, two miles and a half up the beach.
We scoured the mountains north of Ca
lumplnay, but saw only a few Insurgent.
We found four of their cuartels and
burned them. Ryan's men killed two in
surgent cavalrymen. Company K. re
turned to Caceres on the 30th. and the
cavalry left for San Fernando on the next
day.
The Presldente, having told me where the
house of Mercado, one of the Insurgent
leaders, was situated, I sent out details
with, caribon carts on the 30th and 31st
and secured 23 cartloads of palay for our
Government ponies. On June 2 I received
reliable Information through the Presl
dente and others that the Insurgents
would make another attempt to capture
the town on the night of June 3. The
wire was cut, so that we were unable to
communicate with brigade headquarters.
At daylight on the 3d a trusty native
started for Caceres on foot with a mea
sage, explaining the situation and asking
for re-enforcements. At 3 P. M. the mes
senger returned with the reply that the
cavalry were coming from San Fernando.
Lieutenant Morris, Eleventh Cavalry, with
36 troopers, arrived just before dark.
Their arrival on the .opposite bank of the
river, where they spent the night, dis
concerted the Insurgents, who had counted
on having only Company L to deal with,
and they gave up the attack. Morris
crossed his men over on the 4th, and. on
the 5th started on a two days' hike.
Veterans Do Not Stand Service.
Lieutenant Morris was formerly with the
Twentieth Kansas Volunteers. Captain
Green and a number of other officers of
the Eleventh Cavalry came from this cele
brated Kansas regiment, seven all told.
Many of the enlisted men are from tho
same regiment. The officers tell me that
these old men, although excellent soldiers,
cannot stand the work like they used to.
Very many of them are absent sick In
hospital In the United States and In Ma
nila. Cavalry work Is hard and the new
men fresh from the States stand it better
than those who have been here nearly
two years. Lieutenant Morris has re
signed and expects to have his resigna
tion accepted. The work over, here Is no
snap. Many officers are tired of It and
have sent In their resignations, only to
find them, pigeon-holed and not acted
upon. This the Government has a right
to do because It Is a time of war.
One of the Chinese merchants reported
that a Tagalo was In town Inquiring ot
the natives how many bolos they had. I
was unable to find such a-person, but
as there were other reports that some
of the natives were making bolos, I had
the town thoroughly searched. The re
sult of the search was .Ave lances, eight
bolos, and one sword. Many of the na
tives, doubtless, hid their bolos In such
a secure manner that they could not be
found.
One June 7, Morris and his troop left
for San Fernando. Brigadier-General Bell
sent over the same day Major Nolan with
troops M and F, Eleventh Cavalry, with
instructions to scour the country. Tho
Major Is a good cavalryman and a hard
rider. He had -his "troops out on the 9th.
10th, Hth and 12th, scouring the hills and
valleys, but outside of burning a few
cuartels he had poor luck in finding In
surgents. Many, Accidental Deaths.
One of the cavalrymen was drowned on
the 12th, while crossing the river at this
place. He had stripped off his clothing
and was swimming and leading his horse,
when the animal became frightened, com
menced to plunge and struck the poor fel
low on the head with one of his hoof3.
Befdra help could reach him, he drowned.
His body was recovered and we gave him
a military funeral In the little cemetery
here. His name was Oswald, of Troop
M, Eleventh Cavalry. The troop and
Company L, Forty-fifth Infantry, both
marched to the cemetery. The salute was
fired, the trumpets blew taps, and all that
was mortal of the brave fellow was laid
to rest.
Captain Stelnhauser, Company B. Forty
fifth Infantry, Is stationed at Daet. While
out on a scout recently with about 15
men he was surprised and attacked by
Insurgents In large force. Three of his
men were killed and live wounded. Cap
tain Stelnhauser was shot through both
legs and dangerously wounded. Captain
Warrick, with M Company, has been sent
to Daet to strengthen the garrison there.
No further particulars are available.
Captain Lee, of Company E, Forty-fifth
Infantry, was drowned In the ocean June
11, while out on a scout along the sea
shore. There was an Island, lying a short
distance from shore, on which some In
surgents were said to be hiding. The
Captain decided to Investigate the mat
iter. and, embarking his men In canoes,
started for he Island. The sea was very
smooth, but In some way the Captain's
boat capsized, all Its occupants were
spilled out, and the Captain drowned. All
the others got safe to shore.
Registration of Nntlves.
Thus one by one the brave American
soldiers give up their lives In the Philip
pines. Many of the people here have ap
plied for cedulas, or certificate of Identi
fication. They cost 25 cents (Mexican)
each. They pay their money here and
register their names with the local Presl
dente, who sends the money and lists of
names 'to the Collector of Internal Reve
nue at Nueva Caceres, who issues tho
cedulas. Over 3700 havo registered In this
town already, and they are still coming

CONSTABLE'S ASSISTANT SHOT
Inmate of an Illinois Lylng-In Hos
pital Fires at Officers.
GILMAN, 111., Aug. 26. Michael Ryan,
who, with others, accompanied Constable
John Mllstead tonight to serve a warrant
for malpractice on Mrs. Dr. C. M- Wright,
was fatally shot by an unknown Inmate
of the woman's lylng-ln hospital. The
victim of the malpractice was a 16-year-qld
girl, named Dessle Salter. The town
Is In a fever of excitement. A mob sur
rounds the house of Mrs. Wright with
threats to fire It. The inmates have not
yet- been arrested.
The death of Dessie Salter occurred
occurred Friday. The body was taken to
her homo during Friday night and was
buried secretly In the cemetery Saturday
by relatives. As soon as the facts be
came known, a Coroner's jury was sum
moned, and tho Coroner ordered the body
examined.
A warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of Mrs. Wright, and a crowd of men
went with the Constable to serve it. They
knocked on the door, got no response, and
forced their way in. Then the woman
flred out of the window. Ryan fell. As
they departed three more shots were flred
after them. Dennis Carr was shot In the
leg.
An outbuilding was flred by the crowd
tonight, but, owing to the dampness,
the flames failed to reach the main struc
ture. After the failure, the majority ot
the crowd dispersed.
At Roche Harbor the brig William G.
Irwin, under special charter to take a
cargo of lime to San Francisco, Is on fire,
and grave fears are entertained that she
will be consumed before the lime lire
burns Itself out. Four thousand barrels
of lime were loaded into the vessel be
fore the fire was discovered.
AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. Exporta o
American tools and machinery do not
show the shrinkage in volume which rei
cent reports would Indicate. Some con
cern has been expressed by leading ex
port houses by reason of a falling off la j
foreign orders due to the hltrh. nricea of
Iron and steeL In this connection It la i
interesting to note that the exporta ot
builders hardware, saws and tools during
the fiscal year 1300 were the largest la
the history of our export trade, being $,-
646.017. against J7.S42.372 in 1599. $6,627,465 la
1597, and Jo,o09,lSS In 1S96. prior to which.
year the exports In this line had never
aggregated so much as 55,000,000. In ex
ports Ktt sewing machines, typewriters.
electrical and other Intricate machinery
there are also gratifying Increases. Com
paring the export figures of the fiscal
year just ended with those of 1S9S and
1SS9, it is found that sewing machines in
creased from $3,138,364 in 1S93, and S3,!4.344
In 1S99 to $4.540,S42 in 1900; electrical ma- i
chlnery. from $2,052,564 In 1S9S and $2,735,110
In 1S99 to $42S.917 In 1900; locomo
tive engines, from $3,SS3,713 In 1S83
to $5,602,403 In 1900; typewriters
from $1,902,153 In 1S93 to $2,697,544 la 1S00:
metal-working machinery from $4.61S,6S3 In
1S93 to $7,193,390 in 1900; and all other ma
chinery, from $13,336,930 In 1S9S to $21,913,202.
While our chief market for machinery
Is still to be found In European coun
tries, an Increasing proportion 13 being
sold in the far East, especially In British
Australasia, Japan and India. In 1SJ3
our exports of builders' hardware and
tools to British Australasia amounted
to $S77.635. In 1900 they aggregated $1,525.-
793; In 1S9S our exports In this line to
Japan were $76,500, while in 1900 they were
$10b,2al. Our exports of typewriters to
British Australasia in 1S9S amounted to
$60,039. while In the fiscal year 1900 they
were $101,002; to Japan the exports of
typewriters In 1&9S amounted to but $4,23);
In 1S99 they had Increased to $7,262. and In
1900 to $16,579. of which sum $2,211 were
exported during the month ot June alone.
thus forecasting In some degree the pos
sibilities of future development In this
article of export. Commenting upon the
increase in exports of typewriters, a
prominent American manufacturer la
quoted by the New York Commercial as
saying:
"The demand for American typewriters j
was never greater, and our machines arorl
pretty good globe-trotters. We have Just
made a shipment to Puntas Arenas, on
the Straits of Magellan, at the extreme
southern point of South America, and
another lot of typewriters ha3 been sent
north to Vladlvostock, Russia, for the
use of the Imperial Government. Many
of the. missionaries and foreign business
men In China use our machines, and near
ly every American regiment In the Phil
ippines has from three to five machines,
and as business Increases at Manila under
American auspices, there will be a tig
demand for typewriters. The typewriter
has become well nigh universal in 13
use, and is found in all the large busl-.
ness houses In the principal cities ot the
world, and Its keyboard represents nearly
all languages. The exceptions are the
Japanese and Chinese. As their charac.
ters are upright and composed of many
hundred figures or signs It seems prac
tically Impossible to produce them on thai
typewriter's keyboard."
The following table shows the evportsj
of builders tools and hardware, sewing j
machines and typewriters from the Uiltedj
States In each fiscal year from 1390 taf
1900. The exports ot typewriters cannot!
