MORE CORRESPONDENCE SECURED
Guerrilla. "Warfare Intended to In
fluence the American People
Gunboat Vlllobos Safe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. The "War De
partment has just received from General
MacArthur by mall another batch of
Insurgent papers captured by the Ameri
can troops. Among them are letters from
Theo Sandlco and E. K. Reglo, agents for
the Filipino junta at Hong Kong. In a
letter addressed by Sandlco to Ueutenant
Colonel Caslmlro Tislno the former says
In part:
-"The political campaign and some
other circumstances have created in
America a political situation that may
perhaps produce the downfall of McKin
ley, -which will signify the -triumph of our
ideals. For the same reason, the disas
trous war with the Transvaal, and more
especially the fierce revolution in China,
have created a political atmosphere suffi
ciently critical to cause the birth of a
disturbance of the armed peace of the
great powers -that may result favorably te
our aspirations; because America may
prefer to sacrifice some of her -plans with
respect to the Philippines, placing our
Independence under a protectorate rather
than -sustain two -wars and run the risk
"f losing the -whole archipelago. I believe,
then, under the conditions bo favorabry
colored by th& present clrcumtsances, it
is necessary that we continue the strug
gle and only accept peace on a base of
Independence, although under an Ameri
can protectorate.
"If the re-election -of Mr. McKinley be
accomplished and the revolution in China
be wiped out and tine war in the Trans
vaal take on no new complications, then
will I be the first to accept the peace
that I believe to be necessary, though It
be at the cost of acknowledging the sov
ereignty of the United States, since I
consider that our forces are now Impo
tent to defend our sacred and legitimate
rights."
Regio, writing from the Hong Kong
junta to Sandlco, describes the anti-dm-perialist
convention in Philadelphia and
the Boston meeting to show that the
Philippine sympathizers are increasing in
numbers, and victories obtained by tne
seasoned Filipino Army exercise great In
fluence on "the very impressionable
minds of the American people." He con
cludes: 'This impression is and will be one of
the determined causes of our triumph,
which triumph will come soon If we bui
resist a little more now, as but little
3s lacking to change the announced elec
tions, as with the downfall of McKin
ley comes the ascendancy of the starred
banner over -our soiL"
The VHIalobos Safe.
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. The dispatch
from General MacArthur last week an
nouncing the disaster sustained by Cap
tain Shields' party on the Island of
Marlnduque left in doubt the fate of the
gunboat Vlllalobos, which had conveyed
the troops to Torrljas. In consequence
the xiavy Department has been receiving
a number of telegrams and letters from
friends and relatives of the crew of the
gunboat asking for information as to tne
affair. A cablegram was sent to Rear
Admiral .Kempff. at Cavite, and the fol
lowing reply has been received;
""Cavite, P, L, Oct. S. Secretary Nap',
"Washington: No truth in any unfavorable
reports concerning Vlllalobos or her crew.
Manila paper of September 8 published
false reports. KEMPFlf."
Transport Salic From Seattle.
SEATTLE, Oct S. The United States
transport Oopack, carrying a cargo of
animals, forage and miscellaneous Army
supplies, sailed for Manila tonight. The
original Intention was to dispatch the
Oopack Monday, but a shipment of 85
mules from San Francisco, which had
been expected for several days, failed to
arrive until Tuesday. The Oopack is ac
companied by Lieutenant D. F. Kellar, of
the Twenty-fourth Infantry, as Quarter
master's agent, and carries 70 civilian
employes. The Oopack carried S00 horses
and 465 mules. Hay and oats comprise
the bulk of the dead cargo. Twelve am
bulances for use In the Philippines form
part of the mixed cargo.
SIS LIFE THREATENED.
Discovery of Another Plot to Assas
sinate McKinley.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3. A special to the
Record from Canton, O., says:
Information was made public last nlgnt
that another plot had been discovered to
assassinate President McKinley. Detec
tives connected with the safeguarding of
the President say that there are three
men either here or on their way to kill
the President Extra policemen have been
detailed to enforce an order issued by
Mayor Robertson, ex-offlcio Chief of Po
lice, which notifies all policemen to keep
close watch on all strangers In the city
and to be particular to watch for two
Italians who will probably be accom
panied by an old man. Mayor Robertson,
In speaking about the matter, said:
"The word first came to the secret serv
ice department at Chicago. An anony
mous letter was received by the United
States Secret Service authorities there
stating that the three men for whose
apprehension we were on the lookout
were expected to arrive in Canton during
ibe day. Thus far they have not come
but we are keeping a close watch for
them."

Indian Coffee Trade Threatened.
BOMBAY, Oct 3. The Indian coffee
trade with France Is threatened with ex
tinction by the new French duty on
colonial products. India annually exports
7,000,000 pounds of coffee to France, and
if It has to pay twice the duty levied on
Brazilian coffee, this trade, it is assert
ed, will be ruined.
Injured at a Fire.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.. Oct -3. This city
experienced the most disastrous fire In Its
history early today. The big four-story
shoe factory of J. E. Dayton & Co., oc
cupying almost an entire square; with its
great stock of finished shoes and .raw
material, was entirely destroyed. Other
occupants of the building who suffered
total losses were the Royal Braid Com
pany and X.. E. Whlteman & Co., book
binders. The loss is 5300,000, of which
$250,000 falls on Dayton & Co. The prop
erty was only partially covered by insur
ance. Several firemen were hurt by the .fall
ing of a portion of the building. Among
them were: John Condon, seriously In
jured; .Randall Allison, seriously injured;
Joseph H. Hill, bad scalp wounds; Henry
E. Page, arm badly injured.
SAYS HE IS FROM PORTIA HD
One John Gleason. Shot
Boston.
& Priest la
BOSTON, Oct 3. John Gleason, sup
posed to be demented, shot and seriously
wounded Rev. Lawrence McCarthy, rector
of the Roman Catholic Church of the
Holy Redeemer of Bast Boston, at the
parochial residence 3'esterday. The priest
will probably recover. The police aro of
the opinion that Gleason Is crazy. It ap
pears that he called at the residenge and
requested to see Father McCarthy. The
first thing he said to the priest was:
"Were you born in Ireland?"
Father McCarthy replied: "No, I was
born right here in East Boston."
Immediately Gleason raised a revolver,
which had been concealed, and fired four
shots at Father McCarthy. One bullet
took effect In the priftst's back and an
other grazed his left shoulder and he fell.
Gleason, after the shooting, rushed from
the building. He went at once to a police
station, which he entered with the revol
ver stall in his hand. He approached the
desk and said:
"I am a good Catholic. I have got a. gun
and I am afraid I will get into trouble
with it if I don't get rid of it You'd bet
ter take it"
The wounded clergyman was picked up
by his servants, who had heard the re
port of the shots. Gleason's first words to
Captain Dugan were:
"I never felt better in my life than to
day. At last I have done what I should
have done 14 years ago, and what I have
wanted to do all these years. I am only
sorry that I did not kill Father Mc
Carthy, "and I wish it was the bishop
of Portland, Or. I would willingly start
today to walk to Portland on my head
just for the satisfaction of killing the
bishop."
Fourteen years ago Gleason went to
Portland, Or., and later took up a sol
dier's claim In Washington Territory. He
returned to Portland and was shot while
he was there. He was locked in the
same cell with the murderer, he claims,
and all because of the enmity of the
bishop of Portland for him. He claims
that the bishop had pursued hdm all these
years and persecuted him by the aid of
Father McCarthy and other priests. He
said that the bishop had Interfered In
his affairs and injured him daily until the
very hour of his deed.

PARLIAMENT UNCHANGED
POLITICAL COMPLEXION LITTLE AF
FECTED BY ELECTIONS.
Liberals Have Gained Ten Seats and
Conservatives Seven Sonic
Unopposed Candidates.
LONDON, Oct 4, 2 A M. The results
of yesterday's polling in the Parliament
ary general elections were less striking
than those of Tuesday. The Conservative
majorities still show increases in numer
ous contests, but in a less marked degree.
On the other hand, the Liberals have
gained additional seats. On the whole,
the Indications this morning are that
there will not be much change in the
complexion of the new Parliament. As
matters now stand, out of the 287 candi
dates returned, the relative strength of
parties is as follows:
Ministerialists 212
Liberals, Including labor members 47
Nationalists : i8
Altogether, the Liberals have gained 10
seats and the Conservatives seven. Only
one Conservative seat was gained yes
terday, but it was a very Important vic
tory. In the Brlghtslde division of Shef
field, an industrial constituency held for
10 years by the late Anthony J. Mundella,
who was succeeded by Fred Madison in
1S97, the Madison majority of 183 was con
verted by J. H. Hope, Ministerial, into a
Conservative majority of 96.
At Derby, the Liberals had a striking
success, recovering the two seats wrested
in the general election in 1895 from Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and Sir Tnomas
Roe, by Sir Henry Howe Primrose and
Geoffrey Drake. Following Is the result
of the polling: Sir Thomas Roe, Liberal,
7927; Richard Bell, 7640; Sir Henry Howe
Primrose, Conservative, 73S9; Geoffrey
Drake, Conservative, .776. Mr. Bell is the
general secretary of the Amalgamated So
ciety of Railway Servants. The outcome,
therefore, Is one Liberal and one Laborlto
elected, which is a gain for Liberalism.
The unopposed returns include William
Wither Bramstone Beach, Conservative,
known as the father of the House of Com
mons. He had represented Andover since
1857. Also among those elected without
opposition are: Joseph Austen Chamber
lain, eldest son of Joseph Chamberlain,
Liberal Unionist, and John Dillon, ex
chairman of the Irish Parliamentary par
ty. The result of the election In the Mar
thyr Tydvll district of Wales (two mem
bers) was as follows: David A. Thcmas,
Liberal, 859S; James K. Hardle, Labor,
5745; William Prltchard Morgan, Liberal,
4004. The labor party thus gains a seat
from the Liberals by the defeat of Mr.
Morgan. The latter is well known in the
United States In connection with mining
affairs in China and elsewhere.
The result of the poll at Westmlster
was as follows: Mr. Burdett Coutts, Con
servative, 2715; Mr. Smith, Conservative,
439. At the last election, Burdett Coutts
was unopposed.
At Wallsall, Sir Arthur D. Hayter, Lib
eral, recovered the seat won from him in
the election of 1895 by. Sidney Gedge, Con
servative, receiving 5610 votes against 5285
cast for Gedge. The Liberals retain their
seats in Dundee with Increased majorities,
showing that Scotland has not been af
fected by tho khaki boom.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist, has been
elected at Gravesend, presenting a Union
ist majority of 738 over the Liberal can
didate, Htldebrand Harmsworth.
John Kenslt, the antl-rltuallst crusader.
has been, defeated at Boroughton, al
though he polled 4643 votes in the interest
of his propaganda;
A curious accident prevents the result
at Newcastle, where Captain Lambton, of
the British cruiser Powerful, is standing,
from becoming known tonight. It seems
that a cab horse bolted and overturned
and smashed one of the ballot-boxes in
the street
T. A. Brassey, Liberal, who was defeat
ed by 84 votes at the last general elec
tion when Abel H. Smith, Unionist, was
elected, has reduced that majority to
three in his contest with Major K. S. Bal
four, the present Unionist candidate, and
the Liberals have demanded a scrutiny
of the votes.
The notable triumph of Burdett-Coutts,
at Westminster, is regarded by the Lib
erals as almost equivalent to a victory for
themselves. Mr. Bell has been very prom
inent in every dispute, and Derby is a
great railway center. Sir Ellis Ashmead
Bartlett, Conservative, has been re-elected
for the Ecclesal division of Pffefleld. with
an increased majority.
Howard Parnell, brother of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, lost his seat,
Southmeath, In a singular manner, while
W. H. Carew, of Dublin Green, has been
elected for Southmeath without his
knowledge or consent It appears that
Mr. Parnell, Nationalist, expected to be
unopposed and had deposited a nominal
sum with the Sheriff, sufficient to def ay
the cost of an uncontested election. The
local manager, however, angry with him
because he had attended Queen Victoria's
reception in April, at the last moment
nominated Mr. Carew. Mr. Parnell did
not havo sufficient money with him to
cover the cost of a contest, and therefore
the Sheriff was compelled to declare Mr.
Carew elected without opposition. Mr.
Carew happens to be opposed at -College
Green, which he represented in. the last
Parliament, because he attended the Duke
of York's levee and his friends had seized
the occasion to , put him forward by
stealth for Southmeath. He now offers to
resign In favor of Mr. Parnell, but It is
doubtful whether the law will permit this.
The Daily Chronicle remarks: "If there
are any more royal visits to Ireland, the
bulk of the Nationalists will be unseated
"by their own. friends."
Large crowds awaited the results in
London last evening, but much less ex
citement was displayed than the evening
before.
Today will prove decisive as to the ulti
mate result There were only 2S contests
yesterday, but SS.have been fixed for to
day (Thursday), Including 30 in London
alone. Excitement Is likely to be raised
to fever heat Mr. Chamberlain, especial
ly, and. In fact, most of the leaders on
both sides, are exhibiting untiring energy,
speaking nightly and, writing letters of en
couragement and thanks to candidates
and successful contestants. F. Burnham,
the American scout, who was on Laid
Roberts' staff in. South Africa, has been
assisting in the canvass of F. Rickard
Savage, Conservative, In Newinton, West
London. Many ladles are engaged in elec
tioneering, some of them making speeches
and doing other work very successfully.
The Primrose League has issued an
adroit circular to the effect that 'iS"Q
more marria'ges occurred during the four
years of Conservative administration than
during the previous corresponding period
of Liberal rule.
APATHY IN LONDON.
Rcnnlt of the Elections Regarded as
a Foregone Conclnsion.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3. A dispatch to the
Tribune frqm London says:
The election scenes in Fleet street and
the political clubs are chiefly remarkable
for lack of excitement The second day's
polling has Included Battersea and North
ampton, two of the most interesting bor
ough contests, and has revealed the
trend of opinion in Lancashire and other
Industrial sections, but the results have
been received almost listlessly in the
streets and clubs.
This apathy Is due to the fact that the
general result of the elections Is regarded
as a foregone conclusion. Not even the
most sanguine Liberal has expected tho
triumph of his party, nor hoped for any
thing more than a reduction of the gov
ernment majority. The loyal example of
the colonies in fighting the battles , of
the empire has brought the -Liberal Ini-
pcria.lsts well to tne front in the opposl-
tlon side, and even a material reduction
of the government majority will no in
volve a reversal of the South African
policy. The elections are passing quietly
because the country knows that there
will not be any break in the continuity
of the government of the empire.
A fresh batch of uncontested regions
sent the government well up to the fig
ures at' the close of last Parliament, and
polling in Galway town recorded an un
expected Unionist gain in Ireland. The
successful candidate is the eldest son of
Lord Morris, ex-Lord Chief Justice of
Ireland. He ran against two Nationalist'
candidates in 1895 and was defeated, but
has now. come out at the head of the
poll In a home-rule stronghold.. He Is a
Roman Catholic, and his election Is proof
that the influence of the clergy has not
been thrown against him.
The Tories describe this victory as the
first fruits of the Queen's visit to Ire
land, and express the hope that it may
influence the results in the elections in
South Tyronne and South County, Dub
lin, where T. W. Russell and Horace
Plunkett aro opposed by independent
Unionists.
These contests are regarded as decisive
in one respect. The Liberals are sending
seven and the Unionists 22 seats which
have been considered doubtful. The Lib
erals will not have a better chance for
making gains in the borough elections.
Their failures will be an Indication that
tho Unionists will hold their majority
and possibly increase it unless the coun
ty divisions take a line of their own.
The Liberals started off with gaining
Grantham as an offset to Galway town,
and followed their advantage by captur
ing Swansea and Gloucester; but tho
Unionists increased their . majorities in
Boston, Whitehaven and other boroughs
and won a seat at Stockton-on-Lees. Mr.
Balfour led off in Lancashire with a
largely increased majority. Mr. Bidrell
was defeated after a stirring fight, and
the industrial districts generally went
strongly Unionist
The cabinet makers have now suspend
ed their activity until the results of the
appeal to the country are more clearly
known. There Is a generally accepted be
lief that Lord Lansdowno's successor will
be a member of the Commons, where a
good debator is required for the exposi
tion of reform policies favored by Lord
Roberts. This will limit the choice of a
new Secretary of War to Mr. Chamber
lain and Mr. Wyndham. Old Tories assert
that the influence of Mr. Chamberlain
has declined in that he will not be trans
ferred to the War Office. The potency
of that influence depends upon the result
of the appeal to the country. It will
Increase if Parliament be strongly Un
ionist, for he has forced the fighting and
has been the target of abuse. It may
diminish if the Unionist majority be cut
down.
The most intimate friends of Mr. Cham
berlain do not know whether ho wishes
the War Office. His enemies assert that
he will be unwilling to play second fiddle
to Lord Roberts, for whatsoever is dono
in, the way of military reorganization will
have the authority of tho Commander-in-chief.
Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Wynd
ham and Lord Roberts are alike con
vinced that the military resources of the
colonies, which have been heavily drawn
upon in South Africa, must not be lost
sight of, but utilized and developed Into
a comprehensive scheme for the perma
nent defense of the empire.
BATTLE IN ASHANTEE.
Hard Fighting- Between British
Force and Natives.
LONDON, Oct 4. A. dispatch to the
Morning Post from Kumassle reports that
heavy fighting took place last Sunday be
tween Colonel Wlllcock's column and the
Ashantees, at Abu Ashu.
"After heavy fighting," - says the dis
patch, "the British column made an in
effectual attempt to charge the Ashantee
positions, but was obliged to retire and
to resume the rifle duel while awaiting
reinforcements. Eventually, after hard
work, Colonel Willcocks captured the po
sitions and occupied the village of Isna
shu without more opposition. Recently
the British carried three other villages at
the point of the bayonet and burned them.
Seventy Ashantees were killed. The Brit
ish losses were Major Meliss and Captain
Luard, severely wounded; three officers
slightly wounded, three men killed and
28 others wounded. A flying column of
800 men, with two guns, was sent Mon
day in pursuit of the enemy."
The Vatican Burglary.
ROME, Oct. 3. The Italian police have
begun an investigation into the burglary
at the Vatican, where thieves the other
day forced a safe and carried off securi
ties worth 357,000 lire and 3003 lire in sil
ver, although the Vatican officials have
not lodged a formal complaint, contenting
themselves with merely announcing the
theft Four persons are under suspicion,
and one was arrested this morning. The
Trlbuna says that the Italian po.ico
warned the Vatican police In July of last
year that a plan was on foot to commit
some such robbery. It is believed that the
stolen property 'does not belong, as was
originally asserted, to the management of
the apostolic palace, but Is a part of the
private funds of 'the pope.
Englnnd'g Finances.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3. Lord Revelstoke,
a director of the Bank of England, who
left for home yesterday on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse, said:
"The most extensive loans of the South
African War will not Interfere with our
financial condition. The war has been
a heavy burden, but now that It Is about
over, the debts caused by It will be cared
for rapidly. England has more confi
dence In the financial condition of Amer
ica than ever before."
Chamberlain a Menace.
LONDON, Oct 3. At today's meeting of
the Baptist Union, Dr. John Clifford, ex
presldent of the union, in moving a reso
lution generally condemning a resort to
war in order to settle International dis
putes, referred to Joseph Chamberlain,
declaring "there Is no greater personal
menace to the well-being of the country
and well-being of the world than the man
of masterly impulses now driving the
chariot of the British Government." The
resolution was adopted.
No Strong Drink for Tommy.
LONDON, Oct. 3. Lord Wolseley, the
commander-in-chief, in an open lettei
asks the public wishing to honor the re
turning soldiers "to refrain, while extend
ing them a hearty welcome, from offering
them Intoxicating liquors, as, like all of
us, they are open to temptation." The
commander-in-chief also says he trusts
tho greeting to the brave soldiers will be
something better than an Incitement to
excessive drink.

BERLIN, Oct. 3. Prince George, of Crete,

cording to some of the German papers,

Plucky Express Messenger Got the
Drop on One of the Bandits
and Brought Him Down.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., Oct. 3. Two
men held up the passenger train on the
Burlington road three miles south of this
city at midnight Express Messenger
Charles Baxter shot and killed one of
the robbers, and his body now He3 In the
morgue in this city. He was about six
feet tall, .powerfully built, apparently
about 45 years of age, and had black hair
and mustache.
The two men boarded the train at the
Union Pacific transfer and cltmbed over
the tender Just as the train was cross
ing the Mosquito Creek bridge. Engineer
Donnelly and Frank Holman, the fireman,
who were In charge of the engine, were
ordered to slow up as soon as the train
had crossed the bridge. While the man
afterward killed held a revolver on the
engine crew, his companion went back
and cut off the baggage and mall cars,
leaving the day coaches and sleepers
standing on the main line. Acting under
orders, the engineer pulled the train half
a mile down the track, where a stop was
made.
Here the robbers approached the ex
press car and ordered ' Messenger Bax
ter fo open the door. He refused to do
so. Under compulsion, Engineer Donnel
ly attached a stick of dynamite to the side
door of the car and blew it open. In tho
meantime Messenger Baxter seized his
gun and escaped from the door on th
opposite side of the car. As soon as tho
door was opened one of the robbers en
tered the car, while his companion
marched the engineer and fireman back
to the engine. Baxter crept around In
front of the engine, and, seeing the robber
standing guard over the engine crew,
fired one shot, killing him instantly. As
soon as the shot was heard, the robber
in the car jumped to the ground and fled
through a cornfield.
The dead man was picked up, placed
,on board and the train backed Into this
city. The body was searched, but noth
ing was found on it by which it could be
identified. The dead robber was dressed
in a neat suit of black clothes, over
which overalls and jumper had been
drawn. In the pockets was found about
515 'in money and a watch and chain.
Conductor William McGrew, who was in
charge of the train, thinks the dead man
Is one George, of St. Joseph. The robber
who escaped was larger and taller than
the dead man, being apparently above
six feet in height Both men wero masked
and both wore overalls and jumpers. The
door of tho express car was badly shat
tered by the explosion of dynamite.
The robber inside the car was prepar
ing to blow the safe at the time his com
panion was killed. He ceased operations
at once, and no damage was done to the
contents of the car, nor was anything
taken. After putting on a new express
car and transferring the freight the train
proceeded to Kansas City.

DISEASE
The Diagnosis Made Easy by the Famous Symptom Questions? the
Cure Made Certain by the Wonderful Medication Which Reaches
Every Part Subject to Catarrh How the Treatment Acts on
the Nose, Throat, Vocal Cords, Bronchial Tubes, and, by Re
moving the Obstruction in the Ear Tubes, Cures Deafness.
The Treatment That Cures.
Doctor Copeland's new treatment
that has lifted the darkness and blight of
the word "Incurable" from hundreds of
thousands of cases of Catarrh of the
Head, Throat, Ear Tubes, Bronchial
Tubes and Lungs, works Its curative ac
tion for two reasons:
(1) It reaches every diseased spot,
from the orifice of the nose to the
deepest part of the lungs and the
innermost recesses of the middle
ear.
(2) Instead of irritating, inflaming:
and feeding: the fires of the disease,
it soothes, quiets, heals and cures.
What Is tho treatment that cures these
conditions once regarded as incurable?
By what process does it restore the dis
eased membrane, remove the poison and
relieve the soreness of disease? Let the
experience of persons cured and being
cured tell.
The Proper Course For Sufferers.
The proper course for sufferers Is
this: Read these symptoms carefully
over, mark those that apply to your case
and bring this with you to the Copeland
office. If you live away from the city
send by mall and ask for Information of
new home treatment.

eased from neglected colds, causing?

CATARRH OF BRONCHIAL TUBES
This condition often results from
catarrh extending from the head and

tends dovfn 'the windpipe Into the
bronchial tubes, and In time attack
the lungs.
