Poriietli Time 51e'* Been Killed.
San Francisco, Jan. j.—'"This is the
fortieth time Aguinaldo has been
killed," said Senor Sixta Lopez, the
Filipino envoy, yesterday when he
was shown the report that the insur
gent leader was dead, which eatne
through President Wheeler, of the
I niversity of California, and was
based upon the statements of Fili
pino students in his charge. ''All
that I can say abou • the matter is
that Aguinaldo was alive when I re
ceived my last advices. But the
death of Aguinaldo would not make
much difference in carrying 011 the
campaign. There are other generals
in the field who are just as capable
iis Aguinaldo. and if he was killed
the war would continue just the
same.

wel-10-do farmers on the Oneida In

by the United States marshal,
charged with cutting timber belong
ing to the government to the value
of $48,000. At the same time the
government is preparing to bring suit
against a number of prominent mill
owners in the northern part of the
state to recover the value of lumber
■which will approximate $.">0,000. It

the Indians cut more timber than
they were permitted to. The In
dians, however, claim that their right
to cut timber is an unlimited one.

Washington. Jan. 4.—The radical
element among the house republicans
who favor cutting down the repre
sentation from the southern .states in
which franchise is abridged, suffered
defeat yesterday because a number
of their colleagues refused to act
with them. The issue was precipi
tated quite unexpectedly. The lead
ers had decreed that the reappor
tionment bill should be taken up, but
before it could be called Mr. Olmsted,
of Pennsylvania, offered us a matter
of privilege a resolution reciting the
alleged abridgement of the suffrage
in Louisiana, Mississippi. South Caro
lina and North Carolina and directing
the committee on census to investi
gate and report the facts to the
house, in order that a constitutional
basis of representation could be es
tablished for those states.
The resolution created a sensation.
It was a surprise even to several of
the republican leaders. The leaders
011 the democratic side sought in vain
to head off the resolution with points
of order, but the speaker ruled
against them. They then began a
filibuster, openly avowing' that they
would tight every proposition looking
to the reduction of representation
from the southern states. Several
republicans were secretly in sym
pathy with t hem and their indiffer
ence to the fate of the Olmstead
resolution in the end gave the oppo
sition the victory. Many of them
quietly paired with absent democrats,
leaving their absent colleagues un
paired. As a result when the ques
tion of consideration was raised it
was defeated — SI to 8:>. The vote
was a strict party one. Two repub
licans Latidis. of Indiana, and Mann,
of Illinois, answered present but did
not vote. The story of the defeat is
found in the absentees on both sides
who were unpaired. Thirty-two re
publicans were absent and unpaired,
against 16 of the opposition.
THE CHARGE IS SERIOUS.

Milton. X. I)., Jan. 4.—William
Barry, a wealthy farmer living near
this place, yesterday came to Milton
and surrendered himself to the
authorities, saying that he had killed
Andrew Mellcn, his hired man.
Barry says that on Wednesday
night he discovered that, an intimacy
existed between Mellcn and his
(Barry's) sister. During the night
the girl left the house and after a
long search Barry found her 011 the
prairie, badly frozen. Taking her
to a neighbor's house he returned
home and found Mellcn in the barn.
Locking the door he told liitn that lie
must die. and gave him the choice of
a rope or knife. Mellen refused both,
and Barry then placed the rope about
his neck and attempted to hang him.
A terrible struggle ensued and. see
ing that he could not succeed in kill
ing his victim in this way, Barry gave
him five minutes to say his prayers.
The man knelt to pray, Barry mean
time standing by his side, watch in
hand. At the end of five minutes he
plunged the knife several times into
the neck of the kneeling man, who
died almost instantly.

THE WORLD'S MONEY.
Since IN7U Hie <>lreiilntlug;

Washington, Jan. 4.—An increase
of more than 100 per cent, in the
nione.y of the world within less than
a generation will be one of the moat
interesting exhibits of the annual re
port of the director of the mint,
which is now going through the_
press. Nearly the whole of this in
crease is in metallic money and much
the larger portion is in gold. The
total stock reported in 1 S7:i was
about $4,000,000,000, of which more
than half was in paper money not
fully covered by metallic reserves.
The situation at the beginning of
I'.illO showed a total monetary stock
of about $11.1100,000,000, of which only
little more than one-fourth was in
uncovered paper money.
Director Uoberts finds that, while
the total money supply of the world
has increased about $7,000,000,000, the
increase in gold money since lH7.'i has
been about $11,000,000,000, in silver
about $2,750,000,000 and in uncovered
paper only about $650,000,000. A large
proportion of the increase in gold
has taken place within the short
space of seven years, while the quan
tity of silver money, which was at its
maximum of about $4,250,000,000 at
the beginning of l*'.»t>. has since been
somew hat reduced by the sale of sil
ver by (iermany and its retirement in
other countries. The conditions of
180: i showed a total monetary supply
of about $10,500,000,000, which has
since been increased by about $1,100,-
000,000. About $940,000,000 of this in
crease has been in gold money.
The great outburst of activity in
the mining of gold which followed
the suspension of the coinage of sil
ver ni India and the United States,
involving the rapid development of
the mines of South Africa and the
Klondike region, with the increased
output of Australia and California, it
will be stated, has resulted in supply
ing nearly the entire monetary need*
of the world, without resorting to
any material increase in the net sup
ply of paper money in circulation.

Cincinnati, Jan. 4.—Edward C. Rem
me, cashier of the German national
bank, of Newport, Ky., was arrested
Thursday by i'nited States Marshal
Compton on a warrant issued at the
instance of liank Examiner Tucker.
Owing to the shortage of Frank M.
Brown, of $195,000 as assistant,
cashier and bookkeeper, the bank
was recently placed in the hands of
Tucker as receiver. The where
abouts of Urown are unknown, and
it was thought that there would be
no prosecutions until he was found.
Hank Examiner Tucker said last
night:
"On \pril 20, 1899, I arranged with
Cashier itemmc to examine the books
of the bank privately. Remme and I
were the only persons who knew of
the arrangement. On April 29 the
books were taken to Cincinnati and
examined in private. 1 have since
discovered that between April 20
and 29 about On false entries were
made, covering a shortage of over
$90,000. Some one must have in
formed Brown that the books were to
be examined so as to give him an op
portunity to make the false entries.
This is the basis of my affidavit
against llemme."
Mr. Uemme said: "I am innocent
and did not know of the Brown
shortage before the directors knew
it.and gave Brown no intimation of
the secret investigation of the
books."
Mr. Ueeme has been assisting 11c
eeiver Tucker in closing up the
affairs of the old bank and reorgan
izing the new one. and was at work
in the bank when arrested.

Chicago. Jan. U.—The Chronicle
says: The combination of plow
companies, of which there have been
rumors for two or three days, will be
launched next week with a capitali
zation of $05,000,000. Chicago men
who have been prime movers in the
preliminary negotiations stated yes
terday that all obstacles to the con
summation of the deal had been re
moved.
"Thirty-one firms are said to have
agreed to enter the new concern,
which will probably be called the
American Blow Co. The promise is
that the combine will be able not.
only to reduce the price of plows to
the farmer, but also will turn into
its own treasury a profit greater by
$5,000,000 or more than the total at.
present accruing to the manufactur
ers under their expensive methods of
securing trade."

SAVED BY AN EAGLE.

Juat in the \lrk of Time by

In the story of "Waukewa's Eagle,"
in St. Nicholas. James Buckham pre
serves the legend of an Indian lad who
saved a wounded eaglet, and nursed it
back to strength, and found, a year
later, that in doing so he had cast his.
bread upon the waters.
The riffles were full of salmon, big,
lusty fellows, who glided about his
canoe on every side in an endless silver
stream. Waukewa plunged his spear
right and left, and tossed one glittering
victim after another into the bark
canoe. So absorbed in the sport was
he that for once he did not notice when
the head of the rapids was reached and
the canoe began to glide more swiftly
among the rocks. But suddenly he
looked up, caught his paddle and dipped
it wildly in the swirling water. The
canoe swung sidewise, shivered, held its
own against the torrent, and then
slowly, inch by inch, began to creep up
stream toward the shore. But sudden
ly there was a loud, cruel snap, and
the paddle parted in the boy's hands,
broken just above the blade! Waukewa
gave a cry of despairing agony. Then
lie bent to the gunwale of his canoe
and with the shattered blade fought
desperately against the current. But
it was useless. The racing torrent
swept him downward; the hungry falls
roared tauntingly in his ears.
Then the Indian boy knelt calmly
upright in the canoe, facing the mist
of the falls, and folded his arms. Bis
young face was stern and lofty. He
had lived like a brave hitherto —now
he would die like one.
Faster and faster sped the doomed
canoe toward the great cataract. The
black rocks glided away on either side
like phantoms. The roar of the ter
rible waters became like thunder in the
boy's ears. But stiil he gazed calmly
and sternly ahead, facing his fate as a
brave Indian should. At last he began
to chant the death song, which he had
''a 4

(Floating Outward and Downward Through
the Cloud of Mist.)
learned from thpolder braves. In a few
moments all would be over. But he
would come before the Great- Spirit
with a fearless hymn upon his lips.
Suddenly a shadow fell across the
canoe. Waukewa lifted his eyes and
saw a great eagle hovering over, with
dangling legs, and a spread of wings
that blotted out the sun. Once more
the eyes of the Indian boy and the eagle
met; and now it was the eagle who was
master!
With a glad cry the Indian boy stood
up in his canoe, and the eagle hovered
lower. Now the canoe tossed up on that
great swelling wave that climbs to the
cataract's edge, and the boy lifted his
hands and caught the legs of the eagle.
The next moment he looked down into
the awful gulf of waters from its very
verge. The canoe was snatched from
beneath him and plunged down the
black wall of the cataract; but he and
the struggling eagle were floating out
ward and downward through the cloud
of mist. The cataract roared terribly,
like a wild beast robbed of its prey.
The spray beat and blinded, the air
rushed upward as they fell. Tint the
eagle struggled on with his burden.
He fought his way out of the mist and
the flying spray. His great wings
threshed the air with a whistling
sound. Down, down they sank, the boy
and the eagle, but ever farther from the
precipice of water and the boiling
whirlpool below. At length, with a
fluttering plunge, the eagle dropped on
a sandbar below the whirlpool, and lie
and the Indian boy lay there a minute,
breathless and exhausted. Then the
esiglc slowly lifted himself, took the
air under his free wings, and soared
away, while the Indian boy knelt on
the sand, with shining eyes following
the great bird till he faded into the
gray of the cliffs.
