PARDON PALES ON AGGIE.
With Freedom Comes Dread of Assas
sination to Erstwhile Filipino
Leader—Fears Luna's Friends.
A Manila special says: Asa result
of the proclamation of amnesty July 4,
the guard of Am< ric-an soldiers has
been withdrawn from the house where
Aguinaldo lived in Manila, and Lieu
j tenant Johnson, Aguinaldo’s custodian,
' brought the Filipino to see General
; Chaffee, It was the first meeting be
tween the American general and the
j leader of the Filipino revolution. Lieu
t-riant Wil iam K. McKinley, of the
Ninth cavalry, acted as interpreter.
Agujnaldo was told that he was free
to go anywhere he lfieased, and Gen
eral Chaffee asked him if he hail any
complaint to make of American dis
courtesy or harshness. Aguinaldo re
plied that he had no such complaint
to make. He told General Chaffee that
he was going to visit friends at his
home in Cavite Viejo, in Cavite prov
ince, and inquired what protection the
American authorities would afford him.
He seemed to be afraid to venture out.
Gem ral Chaffee replied that Aguinaldo
would get the same protection as any
other citizen.
The former Filipino leader then
asked General Chaffee to prevent the
courts from requiring him to testify
in civil suits. General Chaffee replied
thf t t he had no authority to grant this
request, and advised Aguinaldo to
make a social call upon Acting Civil
Governor Wright. This Aguinaldo said
he would do, but that he would go at
night, as lie was timid about appearing
on the streets in daylight.
The release of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance upon him by
friends of Luna and his other enemies.
Luna was a Filipino leader whom
Aguinaldo caused to be killed in 1899.

AMERICANS ACT AS WAITERS
Immencs Quantities of Beef and Beer
Dispensed With Lavish Hand.
Dinners Supplemented with
Music and Vaudevilie.
Half a million of London's slum
dwellers were King Edward’s guests

tered in about four hundred halls,
schools and parks in varying numbers,
the greater number of royal beneficia
ries being at Stepney, where no less
than 45,000 enjoyed a dinner such as
they seldom partake of. At every gath
ering was read a message from the
king to London's mayor, signed by his
private secretary, as follows:
“Buckingham Palace, 11:20 a. m.—l
am commanded by the king to inform
your lordship that his majesty and the
queen had intended visiting some of
his coronation dinners today, and he
deeply regrets that his illness prevents
their doing so. The king has deputed
members of his family to represent
him at as many of these dinners as
possible. I am further commanded by
the king to express his hope that his
guests are enjoying themselves and
passing a happy day. “KNOLLYS.”
Saturday morning's bulletin an
nouncing that King Edward was out
of danger wa3 a'so circulated, so that
half a million poor folks drank his
health in no restrained enjoyment out
of the coronation cups presented to
each of them as souvenirs of the occa

Wales traversed the metropolis from
end to end in si mi-state, the carriages
being escorted by “a detachment of the
.horse guards, and appeared at central

teers, including Timothy L. Woodruff,
lieutenant governor of New York
state; Vice Commodore Eourne, of the
New York Yacht Club, and other
Americans, who handed around plates
cf beef and pudding, or filled beer
mugs with an enthusiasm emblematic
of the whole spirit of the occasion.
The dinnefs were followed in every
case by variety shows, upward of 1,500
operatic, theatrical and music hall ar
tists amt 418 pianists giving their
services foil the occasion.
During the course of the afternoon
a second message from the king was

ble, and spend a pleasant afternoon.
ESKIMOS MURDERED ANDRE.
Fate of Long Missing Explorer and
Companions is Made Known.
Advices from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
state that Rev. Dr. Farlies. a Church
of England clergyman, arrived from
York factory, northwest British terri
tory. Saturday and brought authentic
information of the fate of Explorer
Andre and his company. Two years
jigo 1.841) miles north of York a party
of Esk.yios, under the leadership of
."Old Huskie,” saw the Andre balloon
alight on a plane of snow in that vi
cinity. which is about two miles north
of Fort Churchill. Three men emerged
from the balloon and -some of “Hus
kie's” t p?op!o approached them out. of
curiosity.
As they did so one of Andre’s com
panions fired off a gun. This is a sig
nal to uncivilized natives for battle.
It is regarded as a c hallenge, and al- ;
most instantly the natives fell upon
the three explorers and massacred
them.
Everything pertaining to their outfit
was carried away to the homes of the
natives on the north borders of the
Arctic region.
CHINA APPEALS TO US.
Powsrs are Violating Agreement in
Retaining Soldiers at Tien-Tsin.
The Chinese government has ap
pealed to the government of the Uni
ted States to use its good offices to
cause the allied powers who still re
tain their soldiers in Tien-Tsin to evac
uate that place in conformity with the
.spirit of the agreement of Pekin. This
appeal was made Saturday by Minis
• r Wu direciiy to Secretary Hay in
he shape of a cablegram from the
Viceroy of Chi Li. which the minister
supplemented with a long verbal ex
planation.
BRIBERY CHARGE SMASHED.
Committee of Congress Decides Dan
ish West Indies Matter O. K.
Representative Richardson, of Ten
nessee. and his special committee in
vestigating the charges of bribery,
etc., in connection with the Danish
West Indies purchase have decided
not to make a minority report and the
report of the committee will be unani
mous that there was no bribery.
ABSORPTION IS NOW EFFECTIVE
Atlantic Coast Line Takes Charge cf
Plant System Roads—Tem
porary Organization.
The absorption of the Plant system
by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
which was announced seme months
ago and which since that time has
.been quite a live topic in'railroad cir
cles, became effective Tuesday, July
Ist.
Circulars issued by the Coast Line
have provided a temporary organiza
tion which it is believed will largely
remain as the permanent organization
of the road. For the present the sys
tem will be operated from Wilming
ton, but in two divisions. The pas
senger department will have headquar
ters at Wilmington, while the freight
department will have headquarters
both in Wilmington and Savannah.
The Southern has begun the use of
the trackage rights of the Plant sys
tem between Savannah and Jackson
ville, which it acquired at the time of
the arrangement for the consolidation.
For the present it is understood that
the Southern will continue its train
service on these lines as it is run at
present. The only difference will be
that the trains will be pulled by
Southern locomotives and manned by
Southern crews.
Per Diem Charges Begin.
At 12 o'clock Monday night the sys
tem of per diem charges for the use of
freight cars went into effect in place
of the old system mileage charges
which has been used by the roads for
a number of years.
The new system will, it is thought,
greatly improve the freight service of
the roads all over the country, as it
will cause a more prompt handling of
freight and will in a large measure do
away with the ear shortages, which
have been so annoying to the railroad
managers in recent years.
At one time it was thought that the
change from the old to the new sys
tem would be an almost impossible
task for the car accountants to per
for min the limited time that was giv
en them, but it is now generally be
lieved that the change will be accom
plished without a hitch.
President John M. Egan, of the Cen
tral of Georgia, in discussing the new
system, said:
“The inauguration of the new sys
tem will cause the car accountants
very little trouble, as they have pre
pared themselves for it. I believe that
the new system will greatly simplify
the work of keeping up with our
freight cars and that the public will
also derive great benefit from the im
proved freight service that will ge
given as the result of the roads being
better able to keep their cars on their
own lines.’’
