; Observance. ' .,
Salem, Or., Aug. 15. Governor Geer
hai issued the first Labor day proclam
ation in the bistort ' of Oreeon. It
fellows:
Whereas, The Legislature of Oreeon
has set apart tne first Monday in Sep
tember of each year as a legal holiday
to be known as Labor day ; '
"Therefore I, T. T. Geer, governor of
said state, do hereby recommend that
all places of business of whatsoever
kind, as far as possible, be doted on
Monday, September 1, 1P02. and that
the day be devoted to an observance of
such exercises as may contibnte to a
better undestanding between labor and
capital, the great moving foicea behind
modern industrial development, and it
is especially urged that employers co
operate with their employes in a mutual
observance of the day in such manner
as will fittingly recognize the reliance
which each must place upon the other
before the best results from both may
be expected or obtained.
"In testimony whereof I have here
unto Bet my hand and caused the great
seal of the state to be affixed thereto.
Done at the Capitol, in the City of
Salem, this 13th day of August, 1802.

SURPRISED BY MOROS.
Outpeet Attacked and Twe American Soldiers
Killed
Manila, Aug. 15. A small party of
Moros surprised an outpost of the
Twenty-seventh infantry at Camp
Vickera. Sergeant Foley and Private
Carey were killed, and Private Van
dorn . was severely wounded. The
Moros, who numbered only a dozen,
were armed with spears and swords.
The morning was foggy. The attack-
ing party crawled to within a few feet
of the sentinels and then sprang upon
them suddenly. The entire outpost
rushed to the relief of the sentinels,
but they were too late, and the Moros
escaped, although possibly a few were
wounded. - '
The American sentinels were terribly
cut with the swords and spears. The
attacking Moros were all from Bacolod,
and tho occurrence will probably result
in a move against the town, which has
a'strong fort and other defenses.
