The only resistance was at Legaspi, where 45 Filipinos were killed and 80,000 bales of hemp were burned by shrapnel from the gunboat Nashville. Details of Gen. Schwan's campaign in Laguna province which have reach ed Manila show that prior to the oc- [ cupation of Santa Cruz the American troops defeated a large force of in surgents in a strongly entrenched position at San Diego, killing eighty two and wounding a large number.

In fact. I hardly think I can induce the people there to join us. They felt like clinging to the Eastern League, owing to the shorter circuit. POLITICAL. Doth houses of the Virginia Legis lature have passed a bill providing for separate cars for whites and ne groes on the railways in that state. Senator Butler, Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the People's party, has issued a call for a meeting in Lincoln, Neb., Monday, February 17, for the purpose of nam ing a time and place for the Nebraska convention.

Keller says the dinner was never considered anything else. Two Meteors Kail. Two meteors fell at Vincennes, ind., recently, says the Scientific American. One struck a slab of stone oil a Balti more and Ohio freight car Just as the train had crossed the Wabasli bridge, and the slab was shattered by It. The other meteor struck a pile of bricks, with a loud noise, and broke it into small fragments. Judging from news paper accounts they appear to have been of a rocky rather than a metallic nature.

A tricycle, driven by elec- : trleity. forms the carriage, ami upon it is mounted a service pattern Maxim gun.

Half a dozen y»ars have made an interesting and wholesome change in tiie attitude of Pennsylvania toward foreign trade. All the pet dogmas and time-honored arguments of the ex treme Protectionists were lately held up to ridicule in :i paper published by the Manufacturers' Club of Philadel phia. ait < I the markets of the world are no lomrer the subject of sneer In that city. \v York "Journal <>f Com merce," Kree-Trnde. Herein is found fresh illustration ot the difficulty which truth experi ences in ox ert iking a lie. The article in the "Manufacturer," holding up to ridicule "nil the pet dogmas and time honored arguments of the extreme Protectionists." apparently did not re flect tin views of the Manufacturers' Club of Philadelphia, for it was promptly repudiated by almost the en tire body of membership of that or ganization. and no economic absurdi ties of the same character have since appeared in the "Manufacturer." itailway contractors in the West and South declare that it was easier to engage one hundred workmen in 1800 than it is to hire half a dozen now. About the oti!\ men not at work to day are those who won't New York "Mall and Express." This is respectfully referred to Mr. Edward Atkinson of Boston, Free- Trade statistician and Philippine agi tator, who holds that railway workers are In no waj benefited by a Protec tive Tariff, but as a part of the "70,- 000,000 of consumers" are oppressed by it.

Mich., Nov. 13.— The two infant sons of Joseph Edlunk, a member of the White Lake life-saving crew, have been burned to death in their father's barn. It is supposed they were playing with matches. The mother discovered the fire, but was unable to rescue the children. STRANGE SNAKE STORY Blaek Snake Kills Battler in I)*> fenw of Tliree-Year-Old Child. Mrs. Warren W. Jessup, resliUjM near Conklln Forks, New Yolk, *3 the hysterical witness of on exciapg battle between two snakes, the they were nfter being her three-year old child. Last summer the Jeeaup farmhouse was infested with rats and mice. Every effort to remove the ver min proved ineffectual. Sudtl nly they began to disappear, and when all had left the premises Farmer Jes sup found the cause to be a black snake that had taken up its residence nnder the kitchen porch. He gave orders the reptile should not be in jured, and even set a pan of milk out for it occasionally. The snake became quite tame, and grew to be the pet of three-year-old Margery, who fed it dally. The snake got to know the little one, and showed no fear when she was near. Last week Margery was playing about the yard when the mother, bearing a strange whirring sound, looked up and suw a large rattler colled on a stone In the doorway ready to strike. She dare not scream and precipitate the tragedy, and was In a frenzy of terror when from under the porch the black snake glided direct toward the foe. So quick was the movement that the rattler did not see him until too late. He roared and struck forward toward the black snake, but the latter, with lightning speed, colled himself about Ills ene my's throat, rendering his Jaws harm less. in vain the rattler tried to strike. Tighter and tighter drew the coils until the intruder fell beck limp and dead. Then the blacksnake un coiled Itself and retreated to the porch. New Way of Driving Plies. A new anil expeditious way of driv ing piles is described in the instruc tions for the Russian Engiueer Corps. On two sides of the pile to be driven are made longitudinal grooves of suffi cient width and depth to receive or dinary gas pipes of one inch diameter, terminating in nozzles turned toward the point of the pile. The piles are held in place by light staples, and to their upper end are attached rubber tubes connected with a force pump, capable of driving water under a pressure of seventy-one pounds per square Inch. It Is said the outflow of this wnter ot the poiut of the pile causes the latter to sink three or four times more rapidly than it would under the action of a pile driver. A few blows are given, when tho pile has reached the desired depth, to secure the necssary consoli dation, when the gas pipes are with drawn.—The Engineer. Xeiv Departure In Color. A valuable and peculiar product, es pecially in the color industry, is capa ble of being produced from the soot of the acetylene flames. When such gas is burned with a smoking flame tho re sult is the production of three or four times as great a quantity of soot as in the case with mineral oils. Moreover, !t is very light in weight and exhibits an absolutely black color without a tinge of brown, and has none of tho tarry admixtures or other substances that characteristically appear in lamp black. The substance is likewise noted for being very bulky, and Is found to be admirably adapted In India ink and the color of fine inks for such litho graphic work as requires u positive black, it is now being manufactured in France by a patented process, al most absolute purity of color and tex ture being obtained at a comparatively small cost. This llorse Caught a Rat. I>. \Y. Locke of Bucyrus, 0., lias a horse which, in addition to being a record-breaker as a goer, is something of a rat terrier. Mr. Locke caught several rats in a wire trap and they were to be let out for the dog to catch. While the dog was busy with one rat the horse was an interested spectator, and seemed to be as enthusiastic as any one. In some way the second rat got out of the trap, and as the dog waa busy with the first rat the other would have escaped had not the horse taken a hand in the game. Seeing the rat making a beeline for a hole under tho barn, the horse gave chase and plant ed its hoof upon the rat and thus held it captive until the dog had finished the first rat, when the horse tnrned over the second one to him. Former Turkish Censorship. On one occasion a resident of Turkey ordered out from London some copies of that pleasant book of our nursery days, "Sanford and Merton." All the copies were confiscated, although the maddest of censors could not pretend that the improving discourses of Mr. Barlow to his two young pupils were In the nature of a political propaganda. But the mere fact that the pet dog in he narrative was called "Turk" was sufficient to prevent the sale of the book In Turkey! For an equally absurd reason the whole of Shakespeare's works are forbidden there because of the murder of the King in "Hamlet"— From "Travels and Politics," by W. Miller. CHICAGO IS DOOMED. A SCIENTIST SAYS IN 1,600 YEARS IT WILL BE ENGULFED. Official Records of Water Levels Prove This -In 1,000 Years Illinois MlftM agara Rivers Will Carry Off Equal Portions of Surplus Lake Water. Chicago will be wiped off tho map In 1500 years. This is what Professor G. K. Gilbert, the geologist, says. That city is grad ually being engulfed in Lake Michigan by the gradual tilting of the earth's crust. The water, according to the professor, is rising at the rate of nine or ten inches a century, and by the year 3339 will be flowing uninterrupt edly over tho natural watershed that separates the Mississippi and the groat lakes. Profeesor Gilbert's investigations have been in progress several years. Official racords of water levels at four different iake points showed him that relatively to Sackett's Harbor. Char lotte sank 061 feet in twenty yea's This i« a trifle under three-quar'ers of an inch. The places are ninety milan apart. Cleveland, relatively to Petit folborne, 160 m!les away, sank t.> 2 7-8 inches in thirty-seven years. Mil waukee. as ccmpaved to port Austin, ?50 miles oft", sunk .139 feet 1.643 in ches in twenty years, and as compared with Escanaba. 390 miles distant. Mil waukee rank 0.17") feei. over two in. ches in twenty years. Thus Professor Gilbert is led to con elude that along a line running 27 de grees west of southward there Is a sub sidence taking place now amounting to .42 feet for every 100 miles, and that the northern and eastern shores of all the lakes are rising, while the southern and western shores are fall ing. The Professor thinks that in about 1,000 years the >llinois and Niagara Rivers will carry equal portions of the surplus water of the Great Lakes. In 2400 years the discharge of the Niagara will be intermittent, failing at low stages of Lake Erie, and 3500 years there will be no Niagara. The basin of Ijike Erie will be tributary to Lake Huron, the current being reversed in the Detroit and Si. Clair channels. Drawn Into Conversation. Judge George W. Stubbs said that the most selflsh people on earth were to be found among passengers on rail road trains. He said that last winter one of the coaches on a through traiu coming West was just comfortably fill ed as it passed the State line into In diana. Every seat had some one in it. and in very few, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, were there two persons. Nearly every passenger had a whole seat to himself, and they all looked as if they preferred not to be disturbed by making room for a seatraate. A bluff old farmer with a loud voice got in at a little station in Randolph county nnd walked down the aisle look ing for a friendly face or a kindly eye, but not seeing any, he asked the most sour-looking man on the car to move over and give him a seat. The fellow did so. but with a manner that indicat ed that the old man was anything but welcome. The old farmer wanted to talk, and tried every way to engage his seatmate in conversation, hut. the through passenger would have none of It; he turned his shoulder to the farm er and gazed out of the window with a bored expression on his face. Tho old farmer was determined to draw him out, and after several ineffectual ef forts, raised his voice loud enough to be heard all over the car, and said: "I killed a hog yesterday for nay winter's meat. How much d'ye think he weighed?" The through pa. icnger looked worse bored than over. !;i:t finally said: "I don't know about hogs." "Oh, well, you migh: make a guess." "Well, say 300.' ''No. he clidn't (v<jigb t hat much. Guess again.' "Well, I'll say 200." "Too high; he wasn't as heavy as that. Make another guess." "I'm not good at guessing. Mow much did he weigh, anyhow?" "Well, you have had two guesses; but you soe he wasn't much of a hog, aud I didn't weigh him." One day Oiny, mat s my brother, he and Sammy Doppy was playin" by a mud hole, and Bi'.y said: "Now, Sammy, !ra' play we was a barn-yard; you be the pig and lie down and and woller, and I'll be a bull and beller like everything." And so they got down on their hands and knees and Sammy lie got in the mud and wollered, while Billy bellered like distant thunder. Bimeby Sammy he cum out muddy you never sea • ich a muddy little fellrr —and he said: N'ow, you l>» the pig, :.iul let me bell -1 '.it: Billy solid: "I ain't a very t.i i n fore dinner, anl it'll be time •i.r you to buller when yer mother . close."- Scran Book.
