Subse quently a German soldier charged past paragossa, province of Badajos, has been almost destroyed by a storm. One woman was killed. OFR TRADE WITH AUSTRIA.

This, fortunately, was only a slight flesh wound. The sentry has been placed "under ar rest and Major Robertson has instituted an investigation. The attitude of Dr. Mumm von Schwar-zensteln.- German Minister, representing the civilians, and Count von Waldersee, representing the military, as well as 'that of other high officials, has been particu larly friendly toward the Americans, which makes all the more pronounced the unfriendly feeling evinced by a majority of the German officers and men. This un friendliness is attributed to the Ameri can attitude in retaining control with the legation guard of one entrance to the For bidden City, which the Germans consider a reflection upon their national honesty.

Probable Case of Harder and Suicide of Two Theatrical People. KEY "WEST, Fla., May 26.--As the re sult of an unexplained tragedy at a cot tage occupied by the D'Ormond-Fuller Company, a dramatic organization, early this morning, Miss Inez Leonard and T. Edgar Baucleigh, two members of the company, are dead. After the perform ance last night, Mies Fuller, a member of the company, went up stairs to the room of Mies Atkinson, and in passing Baucleigh's room she told him he had better go to bed,, and is under the im pression that he did so. A few minutes after MIes Inez Leonard had been seen to go up stairs, which was about 2:20 o'clock, Mr. D'Ormond, of the company, heard the report of a rltle and Miss Leonard screamed out: "Help, help, I am dying," and then another ehot rang out. Mr. D'Ormond and Miss Fuller rushed up stairs and saw Miss Leonard In a stooping position In a corner of the room. By this time the other members of the company rushed into the room and found Miss Leonard in a dying condition. She died without re gaining consciousness. She was shot through the left side, the bullet coming out of the right side. Baucleigh was lying dead on the oppo site side of the room. His face was a mass of blood and an examination showed he had shot himself through the mouth. A rifle and two empty shells were found near Bauclejgh. Mr. D'Ormond saye the cause of the tragedy Is a mystery to every member of the company. Miss Leonard 'and Mr. Baucleigh were engaged to be married soon. Baucleigh was born in Chicago and was adopted by Miss Ful ler when. 4 years old. He was reaped and educa'ted under her care. Miss Leon ard's home was In Philadelphia.

The question of slavery was scarcely touched upon in the conference except incidentally, but President Taft afterward assured the Associated Press correspon dent that since the Constitution prohibits slavery In any treritory governed by tne United States, the question would be dealt with. He was of the opinion that if the people of the United States were willing that the "government in the Philippines deal with the question deliberately and Impartially, without arousing- preju dice by excited discussion or precipitate action, slavery can be abolished, in some islands more slowly than In others, per haps, but still effectively, "With the polyg amy question It Is different.

Trades union men. employed their Sunday In de liberating on the strike- conditions, mak ing plans for future action and passing resolutions. Several labor unions held meetings and spent hours In considering evlstrng conditions. Iron Moldera Union, No. 154, passed a resolution that its mem bers return to their respective shops this morning, but work from patterns made by union pattern-makers and on such castings only which are to be finished by union machinists. Since all union pattern makers and machinists are on strik; and every new pattern frotn which a casting is to be made will be suspected ot being the work of a non-union pattern-maker and will have to be finished by non-union machinists,, the molders will refuse to handle the castings. This is likely to lead to a strike of the molders, though the order for them to strike has not come from the -International organization. Trouble to Be Expected. ' WASHINGTON.

This report, -, briefly stated, recommends the appplntment of a committee to prepare a brief summary of the reformed faith bearing the same re lation to the Confession which the shorter catechism bears to the larger, catechism and formed on the general model of the consensus creed prepared for the assem bly of 1S92 or the "articles of faith" of the Presbyterian Church of England. The report also recommends that this com mittee prepare amendments to several chapters of the Confession, either by mod ification of the text or by declaratory statement, so as more clearly to express the mind of the church. The motions to dismiss the whole matter and to strike out the recommendation In the majority report for a brief summary having been defeated, the contest has narrowed 'down to a struggle between the advocates of a new creed and those who desire only a moderate revision of the Confession. It is predicted with considerable show of confidence that the moderate revision ists will win against the new creedists Snd that It will then resolve Itself into a con test over the nature of the changes. The two votes already taken would indicate that the report of the majority will be adopted without amendment, but if that comes about it will not be without a struggle. The moderate revisionists who voted with the 'more extreme members of the church against dismissal will ally themselves with the dlsmlssalists against any radical amendments to the report. The sentiment for a declaratory statement as against a brief summary is growing, and it is believed that the final vote may conje on these two Issues. It Is not likely that the assembly will adjourn before Thursday. Rev. W. H. Roberts, the stated clerk, gave out the information that there is still two days' work before the assembly after 'the re vision question is out of the way. After thj present matter Is disposed of, the proposition of the establishment of a judicial commission will hold the attention of the assembly. Lines are sharply drawn on this matter, and it may delay some what the final adjournment. A number of commissioners have returned to their homes.

DAPINTAN, Island of Mindanao, April 8. For the past week, the United States Commission has been steaming around the coaste of Mindanao, touching at its prin cipal ports to interview the leading In habitants gathered from the adjacent dis tricts. Two important points were set tled, 'namely, that Mindanao shall not be ruled by local governments and that slav ery shall be abolished. The commission ers came to Mindanao with the intention of establishing several provincial gov ernments, but, they were not long In abandoning that intention. That much was soon decided at Zamboanga, and the further the commissioners penetrated in to the country and the more familiar they became with the heterogeneous char acter of Its people, the more they were convinced of the unwisdom of at tempting to apply any considerable meas ure of civil government on American lines to people, the great majority of whom are nothing more or less than sav ages; peaceful and thoroughly friendly to the Americans; perfectly willing to be advised and overruled by them, but hav ing no conception of nor desire for any thing approaching self-government Ideals. There Is, therefore, no longer any question that Mindanao- and the adjacent islands are to be ruled foe years to come by a government that Is general In char acter and directly representative of the central government to be established in Manila July 1. There will be local rep resentatives of the Governor in the half dozen districts, of the island who may rec ommend as" to the propriety of what the people desire, but the latter will have no direct vote in affairs of government Sixty-Seven Firms Out of 150 Have Granted Machinists' Demands. PHILADELPHIA, May 26. At the be ginning of the second week of the mach inists strike, the situation in Philadelphia Is as follows: Sixty-seven firms out of 150 have gone from the ten-hour to the nine hour day basis without a reduction in wages. Thus 2S00 machinists out of 7000 in the city are working nine hours a day; the machinists employed by 41 firms, num bering 2000, contlnua on strike for a nine hour day; several large firms have offered compromises In reply to the union's de mands, and In some cases where their workmen did not belong to the union, the compromise was accepted; 42 firms have not been affected by the strike because their machinists are thus fan insufficiently organized to- make a stand with any chance ot success. Strikes will probably be ordered at some of the latter class of places should the union officials deem. It practicable to take such action. NEW YORK SUBWAY STRIKE. ' Central Federated.
