Filipinos Seek to
Surrender.
They Cal! Upon General Otis
For Terms of Capitulation.
A special from Manila says: As was
predicted, the capture of Calumpit by
tlin Americans broke (he backbone of
the insurgents’ cause. And the cap
ture was made by such daring skill
and was such a remarkable military
achievement that Aguinaldo lost no
time in hoisting a flag of truce, and
making overtures for u cessation of
hostilities.
Colonel Manual Argueleses and
Lieutenant Joe Bernal, chief of Gen
eral Luna’s staff, entered General Mc
Arthur’s line early Friday morning,
bearing the flag of truce. They were
en route for Manila by train to confer
with General Otis regarding the terms
of surrender.
Arrive at Manila.
Arriving at Manila Colonel Manuel
Argueleses and Lieutenant Jose Ber
nel, told General Otis that, they were
representatives of General Luna, who
had been requested by Aguinaldo to
ask General Otis for a cessation of
hostilities in order to allow time for
tho summoning of the Filipino con
gress which body would decide wheth
er (he people wanted pence.
General Otis replied that he did not
recognize tho existence of a Filipino
govern mont.
When the flag of truce was first
raised tho Filipino officers walked
down the railroad track to the Kansas
regiment’s outpost at 9 o’clock Friday
morning. The captain in command
there ecorted them to General Wheat
oil’s headquarters where they were
provided horses and sent to the head
quarters of General MacArthur. The
latter invited the Filipinos to sit down
at lunch with him and conversed with
them for some time. He refused,
however, to speak authoritatively on
tho subject of their errand.
They Bench Oils’ Camp.
The Fillipinos were then escorted
by Major Maloney of General MccAr
thui’s staff to Manila, reaching that
place at 3 o’clock p. m. General Otis’
aid, Lieutenant Sladen, was awaiting
their arrival at the depot with a carri
age in which they were driven to Pal
ace entrance.
They were escorted directly to the
office of General Otis. Jacob G.Schur
man, president of tbe Philippine com
mission, and Hon. Charles Donby, a
member of the commission, soon join
ed tbe party there. The news of the
arrival of the Filipino officers under
a flag of truce spread through the city
Tepidly, and many officers gravitated
to the corridors of the palace, while a
crowd of natives gathered in the square
opposite the palace.
At 5 o’clock the two Filipino offi
cers, escorted, by Lieutenant Sladen
and Major Maloney, left the palace.
They did not look at all elated as a
result of their talk with General Otis
and members of the Philippine com
mission.
Made a Fruitless Attempt.
At Calumpit for tho first time a largo
body of Filipinos attempted to face
the Americans in open ground. The
Filipinos in the trenches were dis
persed after making a ridiculously
feeble resistance; but General Lnna’s
brigade came upon the field from
Maoabeles on the double-quick, the
two regiments preserving a perfect
formation.
But when the American bullets
showered thickly among them, stir
ring clouds of Jnst from the sandy
soil, the Filipinos again showed that
no amount of drilling could fortify
them sufficiently to make them face
the Am riean rifles, and thoir train
puffed up the track, with its load of
dead and wounded, in plain sight of
the Americans who were entering the
town so closely that the rebel' barely
slipped out of their victors’ hands.

The second day’s proceedings of the
Ninth International Sunday School
Association, in session in Atlanta,Ca.,
developed many new features of great
interest. Three sessions were held
Thursday, morning, afternoon and
evening. The opera house was well
filled at both day sessions, and at
night the immense auditorium was
packed to the doom with equully as
brilliant an audience as assembled the
first night. of Atlanta,
Hon. Hoke Smith, was
unanimously elected president of the
association and assumed the duties of
his office immediately after his election
and will serve until the next regular
convention three years hence.
A lively discussion was occasioned
at the morning session on the subject
of negro representation on committees.
The local and executive committees
had apprehended this controversy, in
attempting to prepare for it, by allot
ting the negro delegates special seats
in the convention hall. When the dele
gations were selecting their represen
tatives on the nominating committee
there was a clash between the white
and colored delegations of Georgia
and wanted South to bo Carolina. represented. Both ^factious The dis
cussion grew exciting at times, and
Chairman Green had great trouble
more than once in restoring order.
The feeling was increased by the
speech of a negro delegate, named J.
L. Neill, of the District of Columbia.
Ho was very much disappointed be- bis
cause be was not allowed to take
fie at au d confer with the white dele
gates from his home. He said he rep
resented several Sunday schools of his
district, and that if he was accorded
no recognition—if his race was dis
criminated against, the work among
his people would be discouraged aud
set back several years.
Chairman John M. Green made a
forceful talk, iu which he stated the
southern people respected the negro,
and had done much for him, but that
there was decided opposition to sitting
in the same pew with them.
TRIBUTE TO HENRY GRADY.

The state of Massachusetts paid a
glowing tribute to Henry Woodfin
Grady at Atlanta, Ga., Thursday af

Rev. A. Z. Conrad, pastor of the

address at the Grand opera house and
that building was packed to its crowd great

that gathered to hear the oration.
After the address at the opera house
a beautiful evergreen wreath was
placed on the monument to Mr. Grady
by Dr. Conrad after appropriate exer- of

prominent people. Grady made
The last nddress Mr.
was at Boston, Mass., about ten days
before his death. The address was one
of the most eloquent and one of the
most widely quoted that he ever de
livered. It had the effect to draw
closer together the north and the
south than any address that had been
made previous to that time, and the
effort has seldom been equaled.
Mr. Conrad called attention to the
fact that although tho north has not
ere.eted a monument to the memory of
Henry Grady, hiR words have been in
delibly impressed upon them and his
memory is equally sacred there as
here.
ROADS AND CITY DISAGREE.
Chances For Now Depot In Atlanta v G». f
Arc Very Slim.
The chances are fifty to one that At
lanta, Ga., will not have a new union
passenger station. The indication are
that the present carshed will be re
paired, possibly remodeled, and that
the roads will continue to use it for
several years longer.
An effort is being made to put the
responsibility on the roads. Their
reply is: “We are willing to build a
handsome, commodious union station
on the present site, but the city coun
cil has imposed conditions upou us
with which we cannot comply.”
The roads say they cannot comply
with the city’s conditions in respect to
Whitehall street without ruining their
freight yards and damaging ware

This is the first show of the sort ever held in the United fctites. It follows
Uncle Sam’s territory and the necessity which is now laid upon him of seeking foreign trade development. _
Of the numerous National and International Expositions projected for the next three or four years in di -
fereut parts of the United States, the one to be held in Philadelphia in September, October vid November of the
present year is iu many respects the most important to the commercial interests of the country. ami the
The Philadelphia Exposition of 1899 is an exposition for the development of American manufactures
expansion of our export trade, and it will be the first national exposition of that character ever held iu this country.
Of recent years, expositions of goods suitable for export have been held at frequent intervals in the great
manufacturing countries of Europe, attracting foreign buyers and greatly aiding export trade. It is the purpose to
exhibit at next fall’s Exposition every line of manufactured products of the United States especially . suitable for ex
port. Such exhibits will form the principal department of the Exposition and will comprise everything which is,
can or might bo exported, from locomotives and heavy machinery to the smallest novelties.
The Exposition will be under the joint auspices of the Commercial Museum and the Franklin Institution of
Philadelphia, and its exhibits will be confined to articles especially suitable for exports. It will open in September
and continue through November.
The main group of buildings, covering at least 200,000 square feet of Exposition space, will be on the west side
of the Schuylkill Itiver, fifteen minntes’s ride from the City Hall. Besides this there will be smaller buildings for
agricultural machinery, locomotives, railway and street cars and plenty of space for a subdued Philadelphia Midway.
Mr. P. A. B. Widener, the street car man, is President of the Exposition Association, and the directors in
clude many well known Philadelphia business men.
In October a commercial congress will be held in the assembly rooms of the Exposition Buildings, which will
be attended by delegates from the leading Chambers of Commerce of the world. Probably eight hundred representa
tives of foreign firms will attend its sessions.
The department of manufactured products of the United States will occupy four-fifths of the Exposition space,
and will show everything from locomotive and stationary engines to the smallest “Yankee notions.”
An important part of the Exposition will be the exhibit showing how goods must be put up in packages of eon
venient size, shape aud weight to be transported upon mule back in countries where there are no wagons or railways.

vided into three parts. The first will
touch the question of disarmament,
that is, to what extent the armies shall
be reduced. Questions concerning
international arbitration will be de
cided by the second, while all ger
mane questions will be dealt with by
the third.
The palace itself is artistically in
teresting. It was built in 1647 by the
Princess Amelie de Solrni, widow of
Prince Henri Frederic, of Orange.
Paintings in the Orange Room are by
such great artists as Levens, Jordaens
aud Van Thulden. There is an alle
gorical picture representing his victory
over wicked temptations. There is a
Chinese and a Japanese room, with
rarest works of art in them. The
walls 6f the dining room are decorated
by De Wit with scenes from mythology.
Among the people who will be pres
ent at the conference, though not as a
delegate, is the Baroness von Suttner.
She is the author of a novel with the
title “Lay Down Your Arms." This
book is said tj have had great in
fluence with the Czar in issuing his
Peace rescript. It is said, moreover,
to have been the greatest single force
with him to that end. It ran through
a dozen editions on tbe continent, and
the men of the military countries were
thoroughly familiar with it, strangely,
before it could find an English trans
lator or a publisher in England. j

The boundless possibilities of the
twentieth century through an unlim
ited and cheap supply of power to do the
work of the world were suggested when
Professor Charles E. Tripler, of New
York, gave an exhibition of his experi
ments with liquid air before the Na
tional Geographic Society at the Arl
ington, in Washington. These ex
periments, when made, filled the com
pany with wonder and seemed to set
all preconceived notions regarding
heat and cold, aside in the light of
knowledge that has been acquired of
late years, and which is rapidly being
so perfected as to revolutionize present
methods of doing many things, if the
expectations now entertained in regard
to them Jshall be eventually realized.
Mr. Tripier began his exhibition by

dipping a pan of liquid air from the
reservoir. It boiled and steamed away
as water from the tire, yet it was cold
and not heat that was creating the
commotion. Spilled to the floor, it
landed with a heavy sound, like the
striking of mercury, and yet in a mo
ment it had turned to air, aud was be
ing breathed by the people who had
just seen it fall in a solid state. Cup-
fuls of the liquid were passed around.
Fingers passed through the substance
gave a sensation similar to passing
through heavy vapor, yet there was
the heavy liquid, as clear as water,
with a vapor arising from it. If passed j
through the liquid rapidly the hand
experienced no intensity of cold, but
if allowed to remain there a few seconds
an icy chill would be experienced, and
more extended contact would freezo
the flesh and bones, until they could
be broken up with a hammer, as a
brittle stone would be crushed.
The experiment of making ice over
a fire was perhaps the most strikingly
illustrative of the power of liquid air.
Mr. Tripler took a kettle, filled it with
the liquid, and it began to boil. He
placed it on a gas stove so that the
flame could play upon the bottom of

the vessel. The heat but intensified !
the cold, as it accelerated the liquid
in turning into gas. Ice water poured
into this kettle still further increased
the process, for it was comparatively
hot water. The kettle boiled and
sent a stream of steam aloft to a dis
tance of six or eight feet. No house
keeper has ever seen her kettle boil
so. All this time the water was being
frozen within the kettle ar.d beneath
it in the-flame was a covering of frost.
It was no ordinary ice, either, for,
later, on being allowed to rest on the
table and passed around, the intens
ity of its freezing kept it firm a long
time, in spite of the heat of the room.
The concluding test was in some re
spects a most wonderful one. Mr.
Tripler placed liquid air in a deep tin
cup, lowered it in a jar of water and
soon had a thick coating of ice on it.
The liquid air turned into gas. He
put ice water in the cup to relieve the
hold of the ice on the tin cup, and
when removed he had a cup of ice.
This ice cup in turn he filled with
liquid air, and then lowered a piece
of carbon in it. A bright light was
the result, showing through the ice
glass as an arc light through a globe.
The carbon was burning with a heat
of 3000 degrees above zero, and it was
burning emersed in a liquid with a
temperature of 340 degrees below
zero, and yet the experimenter held
the cup in oue hand and the end of
the carbon in the other, the intense
cold preventing danger from heat so
great as to be beyond the power of the
mind to comprehend it.
The Joke on Papa.
It is told of a learned professor of
languages in an English university
that on one first of April he was asked
to bring home several things from the
driiggisi’s. He carefully made a mem
orandum of the articles so that he
might not forget, and was putting his
list in his pocket when his saucy young
daughter .said, quite coolly, “Papa,
will you bring me a penny worth of
evaporated pigeon’s milk?” “Cer
tainly, my dear,” was his reply, as he
carefully noted it down, and doubtless
he would have asked the druggist for
it had not one of the children laughed.
That caused him to look at the entry,
and he, too, laughed. “You caught
me that time* my dear,” he said, pat
ting his daughter’s curly head.
