work which the Biblo society had done
in the islands of tho Pacific. Ho said
that society had spent over 20 years in
compiling a new testament in the lan
guage of the Filipinos, but Spain had
not allowed them to do any missionary
work iu the islands, and hence they had
not boon able to make any uso of the
work, but uow that they had the United
States to deal with the society would al
low the American missionaries to uso
this work. He also said, referring to

"England rejoices iu your joys and

THE ECUMENICAL
DELEGATES BUSY,
Many Spoke In t'linrchp Abont Mew
York Sunday Prrnidcnt Attended
Chnrch.
New York, April 23. Although no
session of tho ecumenical conference
was held Sunday, most of the members
of the conference found it a very busy
day. With few exceptions they accepted
invitations to speak at one of the serv
ices held iu the several hundred
churches of tho five city boroughs, aud
even iu tho neighboring cities and
towns.
President McKinley attended the 11
'clock service at the Brick Presbyterian
church, on Fifth avenue. With him
were his brother, Abuer McKinley, Sec
retary Cortelyou, and Mr. and Mrs.
Morrit K. Jesnp.
The president breakfasted with Mrs.
McKinley in their apartments at tho

much rested after the trip to this city,
but did not feel well enough to attend
services.
At the church Rev. J. IL Laughlin,
missionary from tho province of Slum
Tung, China, delivered an address on
tho progress of Christianity in that
country. Although this province is tho
storm center of the Chineso nation,
owing to tho residence there of large
numbers of the "boxers," ho said that
tho missionaries wcro doing good serv
ice aud that tho growth of Christianity
had been great.
Both goin g to and coming from the

many people on P fth avenue. A small
crowd gathered around the hotel, to
whom he bowed iu an amiablo mannor
Iu tho afternoon the president and
Mrs. McKin ley drove in the park.
Tho services in other prominen
churches in this cijy were conducted by
the most prominont of the missionaries

ence. HANNA TO BE CHOSEN.
Will Likely Go aa On of the Delegates
to I'hlladelphla Manning-ton
Withdraw. '
Oomtcbub, O., April 23. The Repub
lican state convention is to be held here
Tuesday and Wednesday.
There are but five state officers to be
elected this fall, and the most impor
tant of thorn is the secretary of state.
The others are judge of the supreme
court, state commissioner of rchools,
state dairy aud food commissionor and
members of the state board of publio
works.
For supreme judge John A. Shanck,
of Dayton, now serving on the bench,
is candidate for nomination for another
term, and will get it without opposi
tion. For member of the state board of
publio works C. A. Goddard, of Ports
mouth, now serving his first term in
that office, will be nominated for anoth
er term without opposition. For Btate
school commissioner the incumbent,
Lewis D. Bouebrake, is, by the unwrit
ten law of the party, entitled to a soo
ond term, and will probably got it.
Messrs. Sliauck, Goddard and Bone
brake are serving their second terms,
and ordinarily there would be no ques
tion about their nomination.
The case is quite different with State
Food Commissionor Blackburn. He is
finishing his second term, and the rulo
against third tonus is strong except in
the case of judges of the supreme court.
It was a matter of some surprise when
Commissioner Blackburn announced his
candidacy for another nomination. Four
other persons have entered the race for
this nomination S. C. Wheeler, of San
dusky; Byron Lutz, of Ross county; T.
J. Hurbaugh, of Putnam county, and F.
B. McNeal, of Miami county. It is gen
erally expected Blackburn will be the
nominee. R. M. Kevin, of Dayton, has
been selected for chairman of the con
vention. Tho Democratic state committee, will
not be called together to fix the time and
place of the state convention until after
the Republican convention is over.
It is believed that the dolugates-at-large
to the national convention will be
Senators Hiinna and Foraker, Governor
Kash and Congressman Dick.
Senator Hanna has expressed his de
sire for someone else to be selected, but
as there would be a contest for tho
placo in the event of Senator Hanna's
declination being accepted it is thought
that he will be chosen in the interest of
harmony.
The withdrawal of Howard Manning
ton assures tho nomination of Lewis C.
Laylin for secretary of state without
opposition.

three terms as oougressman-at-large.
He is an active candidate for renomina
tion, and will be here -tomorrow to taKe
personal direction of his canvas.
Another candidate who is after this
office is Robert H. Foerdcror, of Phil
adelphia, who has been endorsed by a
majority of the delegates from that city.

county, has no opposition for auditor
general. It is expected that the party
leaders and a majority of the candidates

MANY REBELS FELL.
ABOUT 1,000 DEAD, OR MAY DIE,
IN PHILIPPINES.
Three Hundred and Seventy-Eight Killed
and Many More Likely to Perish From
Their Wound American Lou Wat
Nine Killed and 10 Wounded.
Manila, April 23. Last week was
one of the bloodiest of the war since the
first day's fighting around Manila. Au
thentic reports, mostly official, how a
total of 373 Filipinos klled, 12 officers
and 244 men captured and many more
wounded. -The number wounded if
hardly gnessable. Considering that
the Filipinos entirely lack hospital fa
cilities, a great majority of the wound
ed will die. Probaby tho week's work
finished 1,000 insurgents.
The Americans' total loss was nim
killed and 10 wounded. Two sergeantc
and one private were killed in ambushet
while escorting provision trains.
Twenty Filipinos in the province ol
Batangas attacked Lieutenant Woudo,
who, with eight men, was scouti- ig neat
San Jose. The lieutenant and f.ve men
were wounded and one private was
killed.
Sergeant Ledolns, of tho Thirty -fifth
infantry, was badly wouuded iu an am
bush near Bulluad. Lieutenant Calch,
of the Thirty-fifth infantry, with 7(
men had a fiv e-hours' fight with 400 in
surgents in tho KeuvaCareras district
Twenty of tho insnrgouts were killed.
Colonel Smith, of tho Seventeenth in
fantry, who captured Geueral Monte
negro and brought him to Manila, is in
the isolation hospital suffering from
smallpox, presumably caught from the
Filipinos.
Colonel Smith's command captured
180i'fficers and men with Montenegro.
Tho officers were brought to Manila.
Montenegro, who was formerly one ol
the most dapper officers iu the Filipino
army, looks worn aud haggard. Ht
says 'he has led a terrible life for mouths,
and ho has offered to return to the
north with Colonel Smith to endeavor to
persuade his former comrades of the
uselessness of opposing tho Americans
Ouo hundred escaped Spanish prison
ers from the province of Tayabas, South
Luzon, have arrived at Manila.
The insurgents liavo 400 more Span
iards iii that district. Recently tho Fili
pinos destroyed several rods of railway
lino near Pauiquo, iu an unsuccessful
attempt to wreck a train.
Tho insurgents have boon aggress ivt
in almost every province of Luzon.
General Pio del Pilar's band, number
ing 300, which was out of sight f ol
three months, the leader being repo rted
killed, has reappeared in its old field
about San Miguel. Pilar is supposed to
bo again iu command. He gave tht
American garrison at San Miguel, con
sisting of three companies of tho Thirty
fifth infantry with a Gatling, a throe
hour fight during a night attack. The
loss of tho insurgents in this engage
ment is not included in the foregoing to
tal, as they . removed their dead and
wounded, but presumably it was con
siderable. MANILA INVADED BY PLAGUE.
Fourteen ' Fatal Cane Within a Week.
DlM-axe Ilred by Filth.
Manila, April 23. The sudden deathi
of Filipinos nud Chinamen in Qniapc
market have led to an investigation
showing that 15 cases of the plague, 1-1
of which were fatal, had occurred with
in a week. The market is located in the
center of tho city. In black, rotten,
wooden buildings the keepers of the
stalls live there, with their families,
huddled together In great filth. Some
of the victims wero stricken aud died
within an hour. There have been sev
eral deaths iu other sections of the city
recently which have been traced to in
fection from the market.
After all the market people had gath
ered together the health officers threw a
guard around the buildings and will
keep the inmates quarantined there foi
a fortuight. They will then burn tho
market. The total number of bubonic
deaths are 119 Chinamen and 60 Fil
ipinos. Tho pkguo elsewhere has been
suppressed. Kot one infected person
has been in the Chinese district for 10
days.
Colonel Hardin and Major Caso, with
a battalion of the Twenty-ninth infan
try, have sailed for the islands of Mar
tinduque and Mahbeto. It is reported
that the insurgents have 250 rifles and
7,000 rounds of ammunition. Dr. Bur
gos, a prominent native of Martin
duqne and a supporter of the Ameri
cans, accompanies the expedition to try
to convince tho inhabitants of tho wis
dom of surrender.
TO HELP CHURCHES IN GUAM.
General Wheeler Alt Girt of Htatlona
of the Crow.
Washington, April 23. General Jo
seph Wheeler, in a lettei to Miss Fannie
Wheelan, a prominent Catholic of this
city, has set on foot a movement to aid
the poor churches of the Philippine and
Ladrono Islands. In tho letter General
Wheeler says:
"During my receut visit to the Phil
ippines and the Ladrones I was much
Impressed with tho great devotion ol
the women, and it occurred to mo that
it would be a graceful thing for tho
Catholic women of our country to show
their appreciation of the piety of their
sisters of the east in some substantial
way.
"While on the island of Guam, where
there are six churches, I inquired what
would be tho most acceptable present,
and was informed that tho churches,
which are very similar to our small
country churches, ueed stations of the
cross."
Miss Whelun is associated with Mrs.
Thomas F. Ryan, of Kcw York, in the
work for poor churches of the United
States of the Tabernaclo society, tho ob
ject of which is to furnish necessary ar
ticles for churches which aro too poor to
procure them. Their work has bceu con
nected with the Indian missious.
BISHOP MULLLN DEAD.
The Konian Catholic Prelate Expired at
trie, 1'., after a Long
Illae.
Erik, Pa., April 23.- Rt. Rev. Tobias
Mullin, bishop of tho Roman Catholio
diocese of Erie, died after a long illness.
He was stricken with paralysis three
years ago, but, having slightly improv
ed, continued to officiate until the ap
point uient of Coadjutor Bishop Fitz
uianrice, about two years ago, when he
was relieved of the cares of the office.
Bishop Mullin was appointed to the
charge of Erie diocese August 2, 1808.
The distinguishing work of his admin
istration was tho erection of a splendid
cathedral at the corner of Tenth and
Sassafrass streets, this. city.
The bishop was widely known in this
community and highly respected by al
without regard to church affinities. His
end was peaceful.
DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Redaction In Iron Price and Closing ol
Mill Cawed Surprise.
Kew York, April 21. R. O. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued to
day, said in part:
Formal reduction of to per ton in
prices of plates and bars and closing 61
mills by the American Steel and Wire
company have filled the week with sur
prises. In the stock market the market
for steel and iron products changes have
begun, and the end of which cannot
well be foreseen.
Apart from the disturbance in specu
lation there has boon produced a meas
ure of distrust regarding prices that are
maintained by the great combinations
which pay for the present, tend to deter
buying. In the iron business the for
mal reductions were almost wholly
anticipated in actual sales. Some urgent
and important contracts have boeu
mado, including that for tho Kew York
tunnel, requiring 70.000 tons, at prices
not stated, but it is known that many
others have beeu deferred until the
prospect is clearer. Wool has been in
active without change in prices.
Wheat has declined a fraction in
price and corn advanced a fraction,
both markets being rendered compara
tively inactive by certainty that the re
maining foreign requirements will be
easily met.
Failures for tho week were 184 in the
United States, against 184 last year, and
17 in Canada, against 22 last year.
