Heaviest Loss, Comparatively, tlie
Americans Have Had Daring the
Fighting in the Islands—War Office
Anxious for News, Telegraphed
MacArthur.
Washington, May 10.—The officials of the
war department, after waiting for nearly
a week to h ar something fiom Gen. Mac-
Ar;hur at Manila confirmatory of the
pr ss report of the bloody three days’ en
gagement at Catubig, which resulted in
the heaviest loss of life the Americans
have sustained in any one engagement in
,he Philippines, yesterday cabled Gen.
MacArthur a ieo.uest for information.
The answer was received to-day, con
firming the press reporta and adding some
interesting details. Gen. MacArthur trans
mitted a report from Hensy T. Allen, a
major of the Forty-third Volunteers, who
commanded he United States forces on
the Island of Samar.
It appears that this force was divided
among several ports on Samar and.while
fl tails are still lacking, it is believed that
this particular force which was besieged
at Catubig was commanded, not by a
commissioned officer, but by a sergeant,
either George or Hall, both of whom were
kilkd.
Catubig, where the engagement occurr
ed, is a seaport town of nearly 10 000 in
habitants. Gen. McArthur’s cable is as
follows:

INTOLERANCE OF JESUIT'S.
Tlioy Have Issued nn Fillet Putting;
Church Ahead of State
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Manila, April 15.—The most sensational
of the events of the past week have been,
the distribution by the Jesuits of a pam
phlet ;n which is tet firth the tiuths which
Christians must observe.”
Among the things most strongly con
demned in this pamphlet are religious tol
erance and recognition of civil marriage.
Consequently this act of the Jesuits is con-
Eidered by many to be an attack upon the
American administration. The pamphlet in
question says:
"First. The commands of the church
kius, be obeyed in the same manner ns
the law of God.
"Second. You must subject your own.
Judgment to that of the church and think
exactly ns the church thinks, for the
church cannot be overcome.
'Third. You must reject and condemn
the Masonic seat, so frequently reje t and
and condemned by the supreme pontiffs.
"Fourth. You must also reject and con
d-mn liberty of worship, liberty of the
pres, liberty of thought, and the other
llterties of perdition condemned and re
jected by the popes.
"Fifth. You must also reject and con
mmn liberalism and also modem progress
ar "! civilization as being false progress
und false civilization.
Sixth You must utterly abominate
end marriage and regard it aa pure con
cubinage.
Seventh. You must also condemn and
rej et the interference of the civil au
>n riti. s in any ecclesiastical affairs, so
niucn in vogue nowadays,
it Finally, you must hold the be
*. that the church, by its origin, has a

straint of trade or having for their pur
pose in the remote** degree stifling of
competition; and we demand sbeh legis
lation, both national and state, as will
effectively protect the public from the
evils, and If such legislation cannot be
had under present constitutional powers,
we demand such amendments to the con
stitution of the United States as will sup
press such combinations.

such legislation by Congress as shall
make the- seas give evidence that Ameri

“ Dear Mrs. Piskham :—When I first
wrote to you I was in a very bad con
dition. I was passing' through the
change of life, and the doctors said I
had bladder and liver trouble. I had
suffered for nine years. Doctors failed
to do me any good. Since I have taken

My trouble was change of life, and I

INDUSTRIES OF THE SOUTH.
WORK OF CONVENTION IN SKIS SION
AT CHATTANOOG A.
Dolppnlrs Visited Many Iron Plants
Which Are in Active Operation.
Need for Technological Education
Anions: the White Hoys of the
South Was* Discu**ed— Future of
the Gulf of Mexico Compared
the Mediterranean.
Chattanooga, Tenn., May 16.—The morn
ing: was spent by the Southern In lu-trial
Convention In a trip around the Belt Rail
way as guests of the Alabama Great
Southern Railway.
The delegates visited sixty plants now in
active operation, including textile, wood,
iron and clay manufactories.
The afternoon session waS called to or
der by President Killebrew who introduced
Mr. Cyrus Kehr of Knoxville. Mr.
spoke on "The Poor White Bovs of the
South: A Plea for Technological Schools."
Mr. Kehr urged that a campaign be car
ried on during the coming summer with
the aid of the educators who will attend
the meeting of the National Educational
Association at Charleston, July 7 to 13,
with a view to disseminating to as larg>
an extent as r *ay be among the people and
teachers a comphension of teclin Ig
ical education. The campaign, he vail,
should be supplemented by lectures and In
stitute work, and also sermons In every
pulpit in the South on the dignity, honor
and sanctity of labor, diligence and thrift.
He also urged the publication of bulletin?
giving practical aid to teachers, to indi
viduals studying by themselves, and to
study classes and self-improvement clubs;
and the establishment of a system of trav
eling libraries throughout the Fouth, th-*
books while relating to various subjects
should in large proportion be suited to the
devolopment of the various branches of in
dustrial education.
Mobile's Great Harbor.
R. V. Taylor, general auditor of the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad of Mobile, Ala.,
read a paper on "The Export Trade of the
SfU'h.” In part he said:
“During the year IffiS, the first line of
steamers between Mobile and Liverpool
was inaugurated and tegular service has
since been'maintained with this port and
Bremen, with occasional sailings to Ham
burg. Antwerp, Rotterdam and several
Mediterranean and Japanese ports. In 1893
ihe first shipment of Alabama Iron ever
made to Europe, was forwarded via the
rort of Mobile, from the city of Birming
ham, which has since grown lo be the
la gest iron exporting center in the Unit
ed States, and the thiid in the world.
“The fli st vess l to enter Havana under
the new regime sailed from the port of
Mobt’e. Since this auspicious event, con
tinuous service has been maintained not
only betwe n Mobile and Havana, but
also between all of the principal ports of
Cuba.”
Mr. Taylor praised Mobile’s harbor, and
said that when the results of the ship
■channel between the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific becomes an accomplished fact,
with the fleets of the world seeking a
Par West and a Far East, the gulf would
become the Mediterranean of the New
World, "teeming with the commerce
greater than the old, and Mobile, like the
Venice of antiquity, will occupy a position
of queenly pre-eminence upon the Gulf of
Mexico.”
Dr. W. P. Wilson, of the Philadelphia
Museums, addressed the convention on
“The Atm and Worth of the Museum.”
The address was received with close at
tention, and was an,able presentment of
the subject.
At the conclusion Secretary Thompson
offered a resolution Indorsing the Phila
delphia Commercial Museum, and urging
active support from every Southern sena
tor and representative in Congress in the
passage of a bill for governmental support
of the museum. The resolution was
adopted.

Chicago, May 16.—The Methodist Gen
eral Conference to-day adopted the ma
jority report of the Committee on Temper
ance after a long fight on several para
graphs which refererd to the attitude of
the church on the license question.
The report Indorses total abstinence for
members and ministers and fraternity
with other organizations in the temper
ance cause. It strongly declares ags.lnrt
license and membership in clubs having
bars. Secretary Long was eulogized for
banishing liquor from the naval ships anl
yards.
The friends of President. McKinley in the
Temperance Committee, who made n lov
ing tight against the adoption of the por
tion of the report which critlciea (he Pres
ident for acceptance of the Griggs decision
in the ami-canteen law, will inke the
fight before the conference to-morrow in
the form of a minority report, substi.u'ing
other iKit.igraphs.
The conference took two more ballot ', to
day to select two additional members
of the board of general superintendents.
Yesterday's ballots and the first to-day
showed no choice. The second bailot to

is said, show a gain, of upwanie of forty
votes for Dr. J. F. Berry and a corre
sponding loss for Dr. Bowen, the colored
candidate. Berry on the second ballot re
ceived 312 votes, against J. W. Hamilton,
who came next, 207.
The conference adopled the Book Com
mittee’s report, with amendments, to sus

tian Advocate unless those in charge
guarantee the book concern from further
loss.
ADVANTAGES OF THE CANTEEN.
View* of Secretary of War Root nnd
Adj’t. Gen. Corhln.
Washington, May 16.—Secretary Root to
day s nt to Chairman Hull of the House
Committee on Military Affairs, an exhaus
tive collection of opinions on the question
of the “army canteen” gathered by Afijt.
Gen. Corbin from every branch of the
military service.
The inquiry was made because of the
introduction of a bill to prohibit the sale
of or dealing in beer or any intoxicating
liquor upon any military premises, Mr.
Hull having invited the opinion of the
war department officials.
Secretary Root, in a brief indorsement,
says:
’’l think the enactment of this bill
would be injurious to the temperance,
morals and discipline of the enlls;ed men
of the army.”
Gen. Corbin, in an elaborate review of
the inquiry, says:
"If the prohibiton of the sale of beer at
military posts could be effective in bring
ing about a destruction of th? drinking
habit among the soldiers, the adjutant
general would unhetrttntingty urge its
adoption, and in so doing he believes he
would voice the practically unanimous
sentiment of the officers of the army, but
when, on the contrary, it can be stated
as a fact that the closing of the can
teen section of the post exchange would
bo to have such soldiers as are now con
tent with drinking an occasional glass
of beer wdthin the limits of the post go
to.the whisky shops and dens of vice that
once surrounded permanent posts, nnd
which on the passage of such a law would
soon revive, he cannot too strongly ex
press the ojfinion that such legislation
would be inimical to the best interests of
the army.”
Gen. Corbin reviews the old conditions
and cities the existence then of scores of
low grogeries in the neighborhood of var
ious army posts in support of his posi
tion.
MEXICAN FB.EE ZONE BILL.
Information Asked About Japansese
Laborers.
Washington, May 16,-tJn the Senate to
day a House bill, repealing the provision
of law allowing merchandise passing
through the United States from any for
eign country to be transported free of

is concerned, was passed.
A resolution offered by Mr. Lodge call
ing upon the Secretary of the Treasury
for Information in regard to the influx of
Japanese laborers into the country and
whether there, bat? been any violation of
the contract labor law, was adopted.
President Wants Proof.
Washington, May 16.—The President sent
to the House his veto of the bill for the
relief of William L. Orr The bill was for
services as assistant engineer in the navy
from September, 1863, to March, 1865. The
President says the records of the navy
show that Orr never performed this serv
ice, and suggests a proviso to the bill re
quiting satisfactory proof of such service
to be made to the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Witter Works' Association,

Unique In That He In Pcrlinpn tlie
Only American General Who Saw
Service in the Civil War, t üba nnd
the Philippines—High Figures in
Knnnnn City.
Washington, May 16.—Gen. Joe Wheeler
has relieved the anxiety of his constitu
ents In the Eighth Alabama district by
giving them formal notice that he will
not be a candidate for re-election to Con
gress this fall.
He had already announced that he
would not be a candidate for the short
term created by the refusal of Speaker
Henderson to recognize his credentials as
long as he held a commission in the vol
unteer army, and who even went so far
as to declare that his resignation of that
commission made no difference so long
os he was holding his commission at the
time Congress convened. A good many
lawyers in Congress—better lawyers than
the Speakt r—believe that Gen. Hender
son had no right to assume the responsi
bility for keeping Wheeler out of Con
gress, but the Speaker Is a Scotchman,
with a Scotch head, and having made
up hts mind cne way refused to change it.
This statement by , Gen. Wheeler is
equivalent to the announcement that
President McKinley has given him a
definite promise that he Is to be given a
commission in the regular army. It is
well known that this has been Gen.
Vv heeler’s greatest ambition. Such a ptep
will round out his career, making l it in
many respects the most unique in Ameri
can history. Educated at West Point,
he was c.n officer in the regular army
when tne Civil War broke out. How he
followed his state and became the bril
liant cavalry leader of the Confederacy
Is history with which everybody—is —of
course familiar. For a man who w,hs
once the most dreaded of the Confederate
leaders to have won fresh laurels while
wearing the blue in Cuba and the Philip
pines and then to round out his career
as a general officer in the regular army—
it is indeed unique. He is one man of
seventy-five millions.
Gen. Wheeler believes that he is the
only officer of the former Confederacy
who saw actual fighting and had par*. In
it during tho war with Spain; and he be
lieves, further, that he is ihe only man
who was a general commanding troops
in the Civil War, the War In Cuba and
the war in the Philippines. Is he right?
He Is certainly the Only former Confed
erate to attain to such distinction, and
it is very likely that no other man in
the United States can show such a rec
ord.
His ambition to round out his career In
the regular army is easily understood
when these things are considered. He
could keep on going to Congress as long
as he chose, and there is no certainty
that when he Is on the retired list of the

The Ship Nnlistily Rill.
When Senator Chandler, with the bland
and child-ilke Innocence which he as
sumes when he Is saying something par
ticularly mean, declares that he knows
of no purpose to refrain from passing the
shit ping bill at this session of Congress,
he knows that he Is getting under the eu
tl-le of his good frlord Senator Hanna.
Senator Hanna wants that shipping bill
and wonts it bad; he doesn't see why he
should not get anything he wants through
the S-nnte but he has gradually learned
that there are other Senators. Neither he
nor Senator Frye expect lo see the bill
pass the Senate at this session. When
Senator Frye was asked to-dny about the
outlook from a shipping bill standpoint,
he summed It up In one word. "Gloomy"
said ha. That was all.
High Price* In Kansas City.
Members of tho Democratic National
Commutes who allowed thsmofiven to bo
talked iuto sendinr the convention to
Kansas City sr* now putting up a bowl.
This is brought out by the exorbitant ho
tel rates announced by the Kansas City
hotels One member of the commlttee.who
supported Kansas City, tells of bis ex
pert-nee in this way.
“We were guaranteed by tho Kansas
City Committee chat there should be no
increase In rates over these usually charg
ed and everything seemed to be as satis
factory as possible—ln promise. Now they
are putting the screws on. I tried to close
a contract with a leading hotel at Kan
sas City for rooms for the delegation from
my state —w<my-slx In number—and they
forced me to sign u contra-t which wlil
put five people in a room and obligate me,
as national committeeman, to pay for
each occupant 15 a day for four days. I
told them I was perfectly willing to obli
gate myself to pay for the period of the
contention session, but the convention
might not be in session four days, and If
it adjourns 1 earlier the delegates would
not stay. They politely tol I me there were
others wanting the same rooms ar and I had
to rack across to the tune of 1120 a day for
four days.”
This member of the committee tele
grsphtd Senctor Jonrs the farts as stat
ed here and the Senator rep led, “I agree
with you that If the Kansas City hotels
Insist on four-day contract, it is an out
rage and absolutely Inexcusable.”
In further discussing it the commit-,
teaman in question said, "We must sign
such a contract, however, or sleep on the I
boundless prairie. It is ad outrage,
but I suppose we must submit to it."
With the Republican experiences in Phil
adelphia rod the Demo'ratio experiences
in Ksnsas City, it in pretty wife to say
that the two parties will fight shy of vil
lages hereaf er.

TO INCORPORATE RED CROSS.
SENATE BILL WAS PUT THROUGH
BY THE HOUSE.
Minority of tho Judiciary Committed
Given Until Monday to File Vieira
on the Proponed A.ntl-Trunt Legls*
y lation—Members of the Minority
Do Not Oppose tho Measure Out
right and They Will Vote for It
us ft LtMt Resort.
Washington, May 16.—The House ac
complished little to-day besides passing
the Senate bill to incorporate the Ameri
can National Red Cross.
No progress was made with the Alaskan
cede bill owing to the inability of the two
shies to agree as lo the time to be al
lowed for general debate.
The conference report on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill waa* rejected
after extended debate, mainly over ap
propriation for sectarian institutions.
It was agreed that the minority of the
Judiciary Ccmmlttee should have until
Monday to fib* th'-lr views upon the ant -
trust M'l and r?s~luti?ns reported by that
Cimmlftro yr'tcr'ay. Tho agre-mont w s
not reached without difficulty. Mr. Ray
of New York, chairman, said tho privi
lege of filling a minority report should be
confined to those opposed to the bill and
resolution.
Mr. Terry of Arkansas. Mr Lanham of
Texas nnd Mr. Fleming of Georgia pro
tested that they should nit b placet in
the position of opposing the measure out
right. They might vote for th in a' a last
resort, they said, and they desired to ti’e
their views including recommendations for
amendment and a substitute if the latter
were derided advisable.
The Hon e then went into Committee of
th© Whole for the consideration of tho
Alaskan code bill.
The Democrats desired three hours* de
bate with general leave to print, and de
clined ro allow the fir t reading of h©
bill to lo© dispensed with in crier to have
a, leAve to force acquiescence in the r te
quest. The bill contains 600 pages, and its
reading would require several day?. The
clerk entered upon the reading while the
leaders tried to adjust their differences.
All negotiations, however, fail, and, and
on demand for tho regular order—the call
of committees—the House resumed consid
eration of the lied Cross bi.l and after
a motion of Mr. Kleberg, of Texas, to i—
eommlt had been lost, the bil: was paaacd.
The naval appropriation bill was sent to
conference. Messrs. Foas, Illinois; Day*
ton of West Virginia., and Cummings of
New York were appointed conferees, and
the House then, at 4:26 p. m., adjourned.

—The Buffalo Commercial relates that*
at a recent political meeting in the North
of England the usual resolutions In sup
port of the government were followed by
the enthusiastic singing of “Rule, Britan
nia” and "God Save the Queen." Some
ardent patriots then caught sight of a
uniform, and, despite the wearer’s pro
tests, carried him triumphantly ’round the
hall. Finally, having deposited the ex
hausted burden on the ground, and not
rci ognlzliig tho uniform, they aslccd hint
to what regiment he belonged. “Regi
ment? Regiment?” gasped the lireathlewa
hero; “h-aud your whist. What's-wrong
wt' ye o'? I’m the doorkeeper!"
