Other Farts e Xuea and in the Southern IalanlB Tke Civil Service. MANILA, Bept. 26. Monday night, vig orous insurgent attacks -were made upon the United States outposts in the district near Zapote bridge, Las Pinas, Paranaque, Bacoor and Imus, 22 miles south of Ma nila, the scene of the fighting last Octo ber, It is estimated that the rebels num bered 400 and they were armed with rifles. The inhabitants took refuge in the churches. The Americans have since en ergetically dispersed the enemy, killing end wounding 50. A party of soouts belonging to the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry land ed on the Island of Samar, the inhabi tants and insurgents- fleeing to the moun tains. The Americans met wlth.but slight resistance and burned the town. Last night there was outpost firing at Paete, Pagsangan and Santar Cruz, in La gunk Province. It is reported that an American scout ing party discovered a body of Insurgents in the Province of Neuva Eclja, two sklrmlsh.es ensuing, in which 12 of the na tives were killed. Similar brushes have taken place near Indang and Sllang, In Cavlte Province, and near Iba and Subtc, In Zambales Pro'ince, the Americans having two killed and three injured. Advices from the Island of Leyte say that General Monica's band has bern scattered and demoralized by Major Henry T. Allen, of the Forty-third In fantry, who has vigorously pursued $h Insurgents In the mountains, capturing many and taking a quantity of money. rifles, ammunition and stores. Senor Arollay, the Chief Justice; Leon Pepperman, the Recorder; Mr. Schur roann. Judge Taft and Mr. Hlgglns have "been appointed Commissioners of the Phil ippine Civil Service.

The commission also established a bureau of statistics and approved $20 000 for expenses Incurred by the War Department in the Phillp .pines. LARGER ARMY SEEDED. Department Wants to Supply Mac Arthur With Regulars. NEW YORK, Sept 26. A special to the World from Washington says: Orders have been issued at the War Department to the chiefs of the different bureaus to prepare statements showing the cost of recruiting and maintaining a volunteer force as against the cost of maintenance of the same number of reg ulars, and based in the item of extra ex pense attached to the recruiting and maintaining of the volunteer forces. The Department will make a strong fight to have its project for an increase in the regular Army put through Congress. The time is fast approaching when the present volunteer force in the Philippines must be withdrawn. General MacArthur has frankly stated that he cannot spare any troops, and is in need of reinforce ments to maintain the necessary force in the Philippines, and that the volunteer army must be authorized unless there is ah Increase in the regular Army, and it is the intention of the War Department to point out that the latter plan is tne )niy feasible one. The plan now in contemplation is fori the authorization of Congress for -enough additional men to raise the strength of the Tegular Army to 100,000. with perma nent recruiting stations throughout the country: that the regiments may be kept up to full strength by constant recruit ing. This plan, it will be claimed, will reduce the expenses of the Army, as well as raise its -efficiency. MacArthnr'fi Casualty List. WASHINGTON.

Statistics have been compiled at the Census Bu reau, based on the population of large cities which have been announced up to the present time, which demonstrate that the 155 largest cities in the United States numerically increased In population from 1890 to 1S00 almost exactly as they did between 1880 and 1890. These 155 cities increased their popula jtjqn 4,705.107 from 1880 to 1890, and 4,627,953 tfrom 1890 to 1900, or just 7B,i& less during (the latter than in the former period. Of cpurse, when the aggregate percentages jf increase of the population of these 155 cities during these two periods are com pared, they show that the percentage of Increase was considerably lower in the last 10 years, because the v increase is, compared with a larger population In 1900 than it was in 1890. The fact that numerically the increase of the population of these cities has come out Just about the same during the last two censuses is more Interesting from the fact that the rates of increase of the various cities have varied greatly. FIGHTING THE UNION LABEL The United Typotaetae Declares War on It. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Bept. ?8. The cam paign oj the United Typothetae against the union label will be prpsecuted more vigorously than ever after Its present con vention in Kansas City. In many cities ordinances have been passed providing that the union label be placed on city printing. TSe master printers in some cit ies have been fighting these ordinances In the courts, on the -ground that they are unconstitutional, and the report of the executive committee today recommended that the fight be continued until it ended in victory. In. St. Louis, and Atlanta, the committee stated, the ordinances have ,been repealed as a result of the fight on them. The report of the executive com mittee covered all the subjects which the convention has to consider, among other things a detailed history of the strike in Kansas City and the one which is now on in Ban Francisco. , At the night session the emergency com mittee brought in a report In favor of raising a fund of $50,000 to fight union la bor, and suggested that the members of the Typothetae be annually assessed 10 cents per capita of employes, until the desired" amount is raised. The report was adopted, The nomination and 'amendment committees will report at tomorrow's ses sion. Atlanta Is making a strong bid for the convention in 1902. It will be held at Buffalo next year.

The Catholic Young Men's National Union, in conven tion today, decided to form a, federation for the purpose of Influencing legislation and furthering the claims of people who embrace the Catholic faith.

Coburn was elected permanent president, with Robert Stone as secretary. James H. Wilson. Secretary of Agriculture, arrived today, and will address the convention tomor row. President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, will be among the speakers. Where He Stands. Hartford Post Any doubt which anybody may have entertained as to Mr. Bryan's purpose to ward silver Is now dispelled. For a clipped dollar he now yearns as he yearned four years ago. His purpose to use every In fluence at his command and every device in his power to undo what has already been done for the Improvement of our currency system and to knock -every prop from under the gold-standard law of last March Is as positive as It is obvious. His hope that the political complexion of the Senate and of the whole Congress, in fact may be shifted from yellow to white, so that our currency system may be shoved off the gold basis and .placed upon a silver pedestal, with all the finan cial and industrial demoralization that would tag at the heels of such a reversal of policy, is unconcealed and undented. He proposes to go backward. He stands with his face to yesterday and with his back to the resurrection. The old threat of 1896 is put forth again. The former challenge to business and to In dustrial Industry is renewed. The letter clears the air and indicates In lurid lines Just where Mr. Bryan stands and just what he wants to do with our currency. Bryan Club at Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Sept 26. The Bryanltes succeeded in forming a club tonight en rolling about 60 members. B. C. Neil, from the Bryan headquarters in .Portland, was president and assisted in the organi zation.

Imperialists Greeted Each Day With Less Enthusiasm Wearisome Speeches. LONDON, Sept 26. The oratory of the Parliamentary general election continues on both sides withunabated energy. Ow ing, however," to the fact that the gov ernment leaders have decided to fight on the khaki issue, the speeches have de generated into wearisome repetitions. Canvassers, both Conservative and Lib eral, report that It is Impossible 'to arouse the voters to any enthusiasm. Indeed, tine display of apathy is so marked as to show that Lord Salisbury rightly gauged the mood of the country when he devoted the greater part of his own manifesto to an effort to convince the electors of the danger of keeping away from the polls. Liberal candidates throughout the coun try have decided upon-Mr. Chamberlain's utterances for criticism. t Speaking last evening at Frouchie, Herbert Henry As Qulth, member for East Fife, and ex Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment .said that the Colonial Secretary's attempt to 'indict the whole of a great political party as traitors," was a piece of "rhetorical insolence and ludicrously grotesque." Other speakers comment upon Mr. Chamberlain's "attempt to di vide the country between Chfamberlainites and traitors." A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury, speaking last night in Manchester, devoted? himself to a review of the government's successful domestic legislation. This morning the Dally Mall admits that the "little Englanders are getting a better reception than was anticipated, and the Imperialists are greeted with' less enthuslam than would have been the case three months ago." Considerable interest centers in the re sult at Durham. Captain Lambton, of the cruiser Powerful one of the brothers of the Earl of Durham, Is standing in the Liberal Interest at Newcastle, while an other brother, F. W. Lambton, Is the Unionist candidate at Durham. Lord Rosebery's manifesto was a .letter ad dressed to Captain Lambton, who, In the course of a speech last evening, humor ously claimed credit for enticing J. Achil les, meaning Lord Rosebery, out of his tent , , Thomas Daly, who was released from Portland prison In 1896 after having been sentenced for life In 1894 for complicity In a plot to blow up the House of Commons by throwing dynamite bombs from the stran gers' gallery, has been seleoted as the labor party's candidate at Limerick. He says that, if electod, he will refuse to take the oath of allegiance. BOER DEFEAT COMPLETE. But Devastated Country Left In Their Walce. NEW YORK, Sept 26. A dispatch to the Herald from Lourenco Marques says: The Boer defeat is complete. By dint of hard riding from Barberton your cor respondent overtook first General Ham ilton's division, then that of General Pole Carew, and finally entered Komatlpoort Not a shot was fired nor was a Boer seen during the march. Evidence of the enemy's destructlveness was everywhere to be seen. The bridges had been dynamited, the stores, buildings and homesteads looted and burned, as had been also the railway property,-all the chief stations being smoking ruins, kamong them being Kaap Mulden, Hesjtpr- sprult and Komatlpoort. At the last place there is an enormous area over which the Boers have wrought destruction. The devastation Includes hundreds of Tvagona. trucks and carriages, which have been burned, together with all kinds of stores of clothing, ammunition, forage and provisions, such as sugar, coffee, rice, flour and stationery. Thousands of tons are still burning. General Pole-Carew has secured hundreds of locomotives. The whole of the Selatl railway line is simply blocked with rolling stock. On my way from Barberton I saw at Hectorspruit the burst Boer guns and the destroyed stores. In the Crocodile River there were visible literally acres of dam aged gun, ammunition, wagons, dynamite and war stores of every sort At Komatl poort there were, besides the burning stores, hundreds of tons of ammunition. The enemy had left standing many tents. The great waste In the effects of the Boers was evident Furniture, trunks, provisions, clothing and other articles were lying about In every direction. In the rocky bed of the river were enor mous quantities of stores, ammunition, rifles, cannon and foodstuff. Any good police force say one of-20,000 can do the rest of the work of, pacifica tion for security. If General Buller and the others move on to seize the passes, neither "Vlljoen, the new Commandant-General with Steyn and Schalkberger, nor Koetze, with the rest of the derelicts from Komatlpoort, can escape through the mountains toward Lydenburg and Pletersburg, while to re main in the low veldt at this season of the year spells death for men and cattle. 'The -Portuguese have disarmed all the Boer refugees taken. Fifty truckloads, with nearly 500 tons, have been dumped down on the Island of Sheffeen, off Lourenco Marques. The IrlshAmerlcan mercenaries are clamoring for pay, and threatening the Boer officials. The final collapse of the Boer Army may be summarized as follows: When th Boers, numbering 2000, evacu- between the Lobombo Range and the riv er. They had good positions, and could have made a capital stand, but owing to the disorganization and lack .of discipline that were prevalent, they were only half hearted. Wishing to avoid a conflict and un necessary bloodshed, the British Consul general consulted the Portuguese Governor-General, Senor Machado, as to the best course to be pursued to attain thin end. He asked that emissaries should be sent up with an address to the Boers pointing out the uselessness of continuing their resistance and the absolute need lessness of going on further. Besides, If they continued to fight there was a fear of the rfattves rising. Owing tg the fact that the Portuguese had been most kind to the Boers, and as they had guaranteed their maintenance and repatriation and promised to send them back to their country free of charge, the scheme succeeded beyond the wildest hopes of Its originators. Instead of dozens coming down to Lou- renco Marques, 2300 arrived in this wisevJ Diplomacy therefore triumphed by bring ing the war to a speedy and bloodless close.' J . , 1 Krngrer Did Not Sail. LOURENCO MARQUES, Bept 26. trie German steamer Herzog, which sailed for Eurone today, had as passengers the Transvaal Attorney-General, Van Alpenji Assistant Secretary of State Grobler, State Treasurer Malherbe, and carried 'a large quantity of bar gold.

HIs Punishment Was Fixed at Death The Verdict Came as a Surprise. FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 26.-James B. Howard, who has been on trial for the past 10 days, charged with being a prin cipal In ,the assassination of William Goebel, was found guilty by the jury to day, his punishment being fixed" at death. , The fact that the jury had deliberated all of yesterday afternoon without reach ing a verdict led to the belief that it was hopelessly divided, and this fact made the verdict shocking to Howard and those who hoped for his ultimate acquittal. Howard did not lose his composure when' the verdict calling for the extreme pen alty of the law was read In the courts room. He, glanced at his attorneys, who sat beside him, and smiled, but said nothing. After ..the jury had been dls-' charged Howard was. taken -back to the jail, and there, for the first time, he be trayed emotion. He called for a pen and paper and wrote a long letter to his wife, during which the tears coursed down his cheeks. He was joined later by his at torneys, who spent a good part of the day In conference with him In regard to the motion for a new trial, which will be filed, tomorrow, and other matters In con nection with the case. One of the jurors stated to the Asso ciated Press that a number of ballots were taken, but the first ballot resulted In a unanimous vote In favor of a verdict of guilty. After that the ballots yester day were as to the degree of punish ment Ten members voted for the death ,penalty, while two voted for life Impris onment The first ballot today resulted In a verdict," the two jurors vfho had voted for life Imprisonment gave In to the majority and voted?" for the death penalty. The jury consisted of nine Democrats,, one Republican and two antl Goebel -Democrats. , The verdict of the jury, 'it Is believed, was based largely upon the destruction of Howard's alibi, upon whlch ho depended solely. One of the jurors admitted that the failure of Howard to bring any of the occupants of. the executive buildings January 30 to testify that he was not there was considered by the jury as an indication that he was there. The testi mony of Gaines as to seeing Howard run out of the grounds and also of Stubble field, who swore that Howard confessed the killing a few days after the murder, were the other principal points upon which the Jury relied. W. H. Culton, who Is under indictment as an accessory and who gave damaging evidence against both Howard and Caleb Powers, was released on $10,000 ball this afternoon, and his case continued until the January term. "Jim" Howard, as he Is commonly known in the mountains, Is a strikingly handsome man, 44 years of age, and would be one of the last to" be pointed out by a stranger as the man on trial. He .had the record, however, of being the leader of the Howard-White faction in the Baker Howard fued In Clay County, In which numerous lives were taken. He had killed George" Baker and was -suspected .of the assassination of Tom Baker, who was killed after the same fashion as Goebel, and Howard's friends believe that these facts have much to do with the making of the verdict sentencing him to the 'gallows. The trial of Henry E. Xoutsey, or New port, Ky., will be called at Georgetown next Monday. Kentucky Election Bill. FRANKFORT, KyJ Sept. 26. The Dem ocratic House caucus has ,at last agreed upon an election bill which' provides that the state board shall consist of one Dem ocrat and one Republican and a state offi cer. They shall appoint the county boards, one or two from each party, and from -lists submitted they shall appoint an umpire. This will give the Democrats a majority In each county board, but the boards shall have only ministerial pow ers, except as to questioning ballots. It Is said that Democrats In the Senate will readily accept this compromise. Congregational Church Session. HILLSBORO, Or. Sept. 26.

Disease that attacks the air tubes pro duces sore, Irritated and Inflamed spots, and In order to cure the disease the aores must be healed. While naturo usually falls to cure such conditions, for the rea sons stated, she has taught a few her plans of curing. It was by Imitating na ture's own methods, recognizing wherein she had failed and doing what she had failed to do that tho splendid "Treatment That Cures" was created. It Is nature's plan, quickened and Intensified by medical skill; it is nature's plan, assisted and im proved by medical knowledge until it Is able to relieve and cure the diseased parts whilo they are at work. This treatment Is based on nature's method of curing sore and Inflamed structures.' First CLEANSING, then PROTECTING, then HBAIiTNG. When you receive a wound that lacerates your flesh, nature causes the blood to flow, that It may wash away all particles of dust and dirt that may have gotten into the sore and would prevent Its healing. Then nature form3 a coating over the wound to protect it from the entrance of dirt or germs that may be in the air. Then she sets about to heal the Inflamed parts under the cover ing which she has formed, and the cure Is complete. The "Treatment That Cures" follows nature's plan closely, only going further than nature could go, supplying that which nature falls to supply fur nishing a medication that bathes and cleanses the diseased parts; then coat ing over the parts with this same medi cation that prevents the entrance of dirt and germs Into the Inflamed tissues; then, by soothing and healing the sore spots, the disease is entirely banished. More than this, the medication that bathes the diseased parts forms a cover ing that protects these parts for some time from other attacks of disease. So the treatment not only cures disease, but It prevents disease from returning.
