The Spaalah had Invited the rightful

She hastened bis departure from this

Mr. Worcester remarks that she htts

While (tcu. Arolas, one of the few

they were fairly quiet. When he de

collect taxes from the Moros. Harun
called them together and asked their
decision. They promptly decided not
to pay the taxes. On the day appoint
ed for paying the taxes Harun present
ed himself before the governor with a
large number of followers. Harun pre
sented a large bag of pearls to the gov
ernor. As he took them Harun drew
9 barons the Moro sword—and split
the governor's skull to the chin. The
other Moros fell on the Spanish sol
diers and slaughtered them all. Then
ther destroyed the town.
The Sulu Moro is u bom warrior. He
disdain* to work, and expects his
wants to be supplied hy his wives and
slaves. He has many excellent quali
ties. He gires much time to the care
of his arms and to perfecting himself
in their use. He tries to terrify an op
ponent by making hideous faces, uses
his shield very skilfully and keeps his
lege in constant motion, so that a blow

the eastern and western states, threat- j
cna. at no very distant day, the sub
version of our union.
Senator Plurner, New Hampshire.
Admit this western world Into the,
union and you destroy at once the
.weight aud Importance of the eastern
states, and compel them to establish a
separate. Independent empire.
Representative Orlfftn. Virginia.
He feared the effect of the vast ex
tent of our empire he feared the ef
forts of the Increased value of labor,
the decrease In the value of lanite. and
the Influence of climate upon our cltl
xena who should migrate thither. Ho
did fear (though this land was repre

would prove a cemetery for our citi

Senator James White. Delaware.
.But as to Louisiana, this new. Im

Senator McDuffie.
What is the nature of this country?
Why, as I understand it, seven hun

mountains is uninhabitable; n region
where rain seldom ever falls, a barren,
sandy soil; mountains totally impassa

do In this ease? How are you going

New York, Dec. 17.—Emissaries of
Russia have made a careful aurvey of
the situation In thl* rlty and have
aounded nearly all the leading con
cerns. Their buslnraa baa been con
ducted quietly, and *o far nothing
seems to show that their overtures
have met with time hencouragetnent.
Jacob H. Schlff. of Kuhn. Loeb te
CO., when shown the statement of Mr.
Eckels, said:
"I understood that about two or
three weeks ago several Arms in this
city, including my own. were sound
ed by persons who claimed to be act
ing for t lie Russian government as to
the feasibility of floating a Russian
3 per cent or 3 1-2 pre cent loan. 1
d» not think such a negotiation fea
sible In the United States.”
Henry Speyer refused to make auy
comment on Mr. Eckels* statement.
An effort was made to see J. Pierre
pont Morgan and other financiers to
night, but they could not be found.

Always so Jolly and gay—
We are a winsome wee regiment,
A sweet little regiment
With a cute and charming way.
You bet we are the winners.
And cute little sinners.
When there's a heart at stake.
With our roguish blue eye*
We capture easy every prize.
Anfl many a heart we make aohel

I'm the sweetest little trooper In the
army—
Every day when on parade.
The girls all cry as I ride by—
There he goes, there he goes!
The sweetest little trooper in the army!
Always looks so neat.
With my pretty black curls,
I can always catch the girls.
For I’m the sweetest little trooper in

We are the bravest little regiment in
the army—
You cast hear every one say,
We are a gallant wee regiment,
A peerless wee regiment,
Always ready for the fray;
When the war bugles blow.
To the front we march and go;
When duty and honor calls,
With our life in our hand
We stand firm like a man,
And fight for our country’s cause.

New York. Dec. 17.—The market to
day t peued fii m with a rise of a point
in Union Pacific. !.ater the irregulari
ty in Iciukm, <vh!ch had been ignored
in the initial trading, was an Inilttcnce
locally. There was a sharp break in
the Vanderbilts’ Lake Shore, losing 8.
and New York and Canada Southern
over 1 poirt. Local traction shares
were off sharply, especially Metropoli
tan and Manhattan. Missouri Pacifle
also weakened decidedly. There was
ccnsidoable strength in other spots.
Southern Paciflc. Central Pacific, Den
ver prc'trred and Pittsburg. Cincinnati
Chkato and St. Louis shares showing
firmness. In tlje second hour the down
ward movement was rather eunitnrra.
In the final dealings, however, an im
proved tone set in. in which Baltimore
and Ob;o and Lake Eric and Western
stocks recorded substantial adrvuuces.
Tisc average declines were less than 1
per ctrt.
The bank statement, which was moro
favorable than was expected, was later
than usual in making its appearance,
but Us Influence helped the closing
rally.
Expect Tuesday a lot of
handsome Chiffoniers,
Dressers and washstands.
