TAGALS MORE ACTIVE Many Provinces In Luzon and Elsewhere Terrorized. AMERICAN LOSS ONE HUNDRED MEN. Itenewed Activity of Insurgents Or dered l-'roin Hongkong Agsi naldo Declines to Consider I*eace Proposals. MANILA, Sept. 24.—The insurgent demonstrations last week prove to have been more extended than wns at first re ported. From Cagayan and Isabela provinces and the northwestern districts of Luzon come accounts of insurgent operations and American precautionary measures. Merchants in the province of Albay are getting their hemp to Manila as rapidly as possible, fearing that other wise it will be burned by the insurgents. At lloilo there was considerable anxle* tv lest an uprising should occur, but the insurgents there are censing their activ ity and returning in white clothing to the garrisoned towns of the district. As a resumption of insurgent operations is considered quite probable the Americans there are taking the necessary steps. The American casualties in killed, wounded or missing during the last ten days approach 100, including those at Siniloan, at the east end of Laguna de Hay, where the insurgents after the en gagement delivered ten bodies of our dead. I tocumpnts captured in Manila show that the insurgent activity in this vicin ity was ordered by rebels here, following instructions from the Hongkong junta. Senor Buencamino has received from Agulnaldo an answer regarding liis peace proposals. Aguinaldo declines to con sider them nnd declares that he is un willing to agree to a compromise. Archbishop Nozaleda. with Bishop Ile via and ten friars, will leave for Spain Tuesday. lie goes to render his decen nial religious report. He says he ex pects to return here. - During his absence i lie affairs of the archdiocese will be ad ministered by Mgr. Chapelle. The amnesty expired Sept. 21, and the conditions that existed previously have been resumed. An insurgent proclamation, signed last month by Aguinaldo, directing that American prisoners be set at liberty, that good treatment be accorded to captives and that $-!<• be paid to each American surrendering, has reached Manila. Few prisoners were released under the proc lamation. Two who have just arrived from the Cailless district report that the insurgents in that locality are in "better spirits" than tlicy had displayed at any time before since April. The insurgents recently murdered ruth lessly three persons in the Lukban dis trict. Satnar is short of rice, but as the hemp supply is abundant the people are ship ping hemp to Bulau island and smug gling rice in exchange. Dowlelte Ibidem Mohhed. MANSFIELD, 0.. Sept. 24.—A mob formed here yesterday, and the Dowie ite elders, Ephriiim Bassinger of Bluff ton and Silas Moot of Lima, were its vic tims. The two elders came in on au lOrio train unknown to the authorities. They were recognized by a small crowd at the depot, which refused to let them •nter a cab, then followed them up the -treet and surrounded them near the cen ter of the city. They were then taken by the mob to the Kichland Buggy works, where Hassingcr disrobed, but the crowd' tore Moot's clothing from his body, ns Jte refused to disrobe himself. A paint bucket and a brush were then scoured, and a smokestack varnish, a tnrlik£ sub stance, was daubed over them fryfn head to foot. It was matted in their/iair, and no part of their bodies eseapeii/but their races. Their bodies were t l»«yi partially covered with their clothing, /ml the eld ers were marched to (he lyftne of K. 11. Leiby, a /ion follower/ liere, who was driven out of the cit.y last week. There they promised not t/> return to Mansfield, but later they said they agreed not to re turn unless Overseer Piper ordered them lo come. They were then inarched to the city prison anil locked up. By appli cations of lard and benzine the black varnish was cut, and after new outfits ot clothing were furnished they were de ported on a Pennsylvania train at noon. Hoekhiii to Ad viae Withdrawal.

The well was drilled by a local company, and when the drill struck the vein the gas, coming to the surface with terrific force, blew tools and rocks over lot) feet in the air.

WAGE SCALE SIGNER I Iron and Steel Mills to Resnme Op eration*. CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.—The confer fence committees of the Amalgamated As sociation of Iron and Steel Workers and of the manufacturers after un all night conference signed the wage scale thai frill be effective until July, 1001. It is what is known as the yearly scale, which takes effect usually in July Owing to the unusual fluctuations of th« market the new scale had not been signed when the mills shut down June 30, and the conditions hare been unfa vorable ever since June, so that the mills have been idle for almost three months As soon as the scale was signed mes sages were sent in every direction be fore the conferees breakfasted. Som« mills started this morning, and nil oth ers will resume us soon as possible. Thlt decision moans employment to over GO,- 000 workmen who have been idle slnci June. The reasons for the delay i« adjusting the wage scale as well as for the fre quent prolonged conferences are found in the slump in the market and tile fluc tuations during the past year from th( highest to the lowest price. Tbe work ers wanted $5 per ton, based on 1 4-10 card rate. The manufacturers offered $4.50 per ton on a 1 cent card rate foi boiling, and the differences were in about the same proportion in other lines. ROME'S ANNIVERSARY.

(Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Sept. 25.—One of the most important results of the conven tion of the State League of Republican clubs, held here last week, was the determination of many active young Republicans, visitors from every coun ty in the state, to return home and work more zealously than ever for the success of the whole Republican ticket. They were Inspired to do this by the eloquent and forcible argumenta made by Senator Foraker, of Ohio, Chairman Babcock, of the Republican congres sional committee, and other party lead ers, who came to Pennsylvania to urge the importance of making Repub lican gains in congress In order to save the house to the Republican party for next year. They pointed out the possible gains for the Democracy in many states, and they gave facts and figures to show that there is a dangerous apathetic feeling shown among Republicans, who seem to be Impressed with the idea that President McKlnley is certain to be re-elected and that the Republicans are sure to elect a majority of the house. The Republican club men had their minds disabused of the notion that the Republican party has practically a walkover in the canvass for the house, and they were impressed with the Im portance of making Republican con gressional gains in states like Penn sylvania. Every now and then the Democrats, through Republican dissen sions or indifference, make heavy gains in their representation in the house. Stress was laid by several of the speakers upon the danger of losing Re publican congressmen through the fu sion movements which have spread to a number of counties of the state, by the efforts of the so-called insurgents. While primarily. In many cases, the aim of the insurgents is to to defeat Republican catulidutes for the state leg islature, it was shown that in the past Republican candidates for congress have been defeateu in igst nuch move ments. There are several congression al dlstricta which, under ordinary cir cumstances, are safely Republican, but which are now made debateable, and probably Democratic, through_the leg islative deals with the Democrats mads by the Insurgents. The several speakers who touiheA upon this subject at the League con vention were emphatic in thejj>etate ments that unless prompt action «halt be taken by the leaders of the parfj4 organization and the State League to thwart the plans of the fusionlsts there will be serious losses in the congres sional delegation. There were reports, however, from some of the club men which indicated that the fusion movement Is not going to make the headway that was at first feared. Delegates from Chester, Montgom* ery. Union. Snyder, Northumberland. Montour, Blair, Franklin, Venango, Warren and other counties, where the Guffey Democrats and the Flinn-Mar tin insurgents are at work, stated that there Is a growing sentiment among Republicans against the fusion schemers, and that the prospects ara that in many districts the plana of tha Insurgents and their Democratic allies will meet defeat. HURRIEDLYCALLEDCONFERENCEJ That the managers of the fusloit movement are not quite at ease was made manifest here last week when<4 hurried conference was called, whlcty brought William FHnn and Col. ffamea M. Guffey, the Democratic national committeeman, from Allegheny to meet David Martin and Chairman Rilling, the Democratic state to* gether In this city. This -quartet are supervising the arrangementwfop fu sion In the several counties of 4he state, i They were alarmed over egyera) unex pected developments afteiCjthOKDemo cratic primaries in this city; Where Guf fey had planned for fusion with the Martin Insurgents.

There Guffey told Mr. Donnelly that he had been betrayed and that the Democracy of Philadelphia would be read out of the organisation if the par ty leaders did not obey his commands for fusion nominations.

Guffey, Fllnn, Martin, Rilling and Donnelly went over the whole situa tion, and Guffey pleaded with Donnelly to do what he could to prevent further violations of faith with their Fllnn- Martln allies. Donnelly promised to do his best, and he went to work at once to get for mer Speaker Walton nominated for senator by the Democrats of the Fifth Senatorial district. Walton had been defeated at the Republican primaries by William H. Berkelbach, the candi date of the stalwart Republicans, by a majority of about 8,000 votes in a total poll of over 34.000. Donnelly soon found that the Democrats of the dis trict would not stand for the placing of Walton upon the Democratic ticket. The leaders said they would agree to fusion if it would help the Democratic party, but they declared that the Demo cratic voters would not tolerate the nomination of Walton. The result was that former Representative Dearden, who has been an anti-Martin man and a Mir.<:n man by turns, was nominated by the Democratic convention. Pear den Just now is a'Martiiv man, but he stands not the slightest chance of being elected. The retirement of Walton ha 9 led to a unanimous Indorsementofßer kelbach, the Republican nominee, by the Republican committee of the Thir ty-second ward. In which both Berkel bach and Walton reside, and which di vided by a vote of 15Vi to 15V& at the delegate election, although Berkelbach had a majority of several hundred In the popular vote. The turning down of Walton will mean that Berkelbach will carry this district by at least 4,000 majority. It is likely to be much more, and the fu sion scheme as regards members -of the house of representatives will fail also. NO SHOW FOR INSURGENTS. It now looks as though the Insur gents would not get over four outiof the 39 members of the house of repre sentatives to be elected In this city 4n November, and they will not get a sin gle member of the senate. The Democrats had two members of the house at the last session from this city, but they will not have a Phlladel phian In the next house. The Republicans of Philadelphia are determined to recognize the call from the Republican congressional commit* tee, and they will elect every Republi can candidate for congress from this city. This will mean the turning down of McAleer, who has been sent to con gress for some years by the Martin Republicans, who have used the Mc- Aleer organization for factional pur poses in the Republican party. Mc- Aleer is now confronted with a stal wart Republican, a well known manu facturer, Henry Burk, who will make an aggressive canvass and who will tie 'ected If the leaders of the regularfle uubli- I>II organization can thwart the Martiiiites iu their deals to aend Mc- Meer to congress In return' for votes for insurgent members of the legisla te c. or for Democratic members of ths legislature where Insurgents have not been nominated. The outlook is certainly very gleomy; fur the Flinn-Martin-Guffey comblnS as far as Philadelphia Is concerned* and It is probably the same throughout the state. j -u ROBERTS REPORTS GAINS.
