the fight was fought out on a system
and had been planned by him some tima
before, as he had long seen it must
come. The Americans. got behind the
Moro fort and dropped projectiles from
artillery into it, a thing the Moros had
believed could not*be done. A ditch
thirty-live feet wide and forty feet deep
had to be crossed in order to get at the
fort by assault, but & bridge had been
built and was rifthed into place, and
then ths assaulting Infantry made for
the parapet.
“Here,” says Capt. PershlAg. “they

there may be one or two hard-headed

ths following:
•The showing for 1202 and the begin
ning of 1103 is very satisfactory, not
only In regard to the complete exemp
tion from yellow fever and smallpox
but also In the number of deaths from
malaria and In the total mortality.
There has been no smallpox on the isl
and since 1100 nor yellow fever since
September, 1901, and the progressive
decrease in malaria has continued
without Interruption. The condition re
garding tuberculosis Is not. however,
so satisfactory. There has been an In
crease of five to six per cent, in deaths
from that disease In each of the years
1901 and 1902, anl at the present time
the proportion of deaths from that
cause to the general mortality amounts
to over 16 per cent The superior

WILMINGTON. Del., June 21.—What
is believed to have been a deliberate
attempt to wreak vengeance on George
White, the n**gro who Is charged with
killing Helen Bishop, the 17-year-old
daughter of Kov. E. A. Bishop, was
foiled before daylight this morning
through the watchfulness of the au

rer since the girl died as the result
of her injuries thero has been talk of
lynching, and the police and the gunrds
of the county workhouse, where the ac
cused negro is confined, have been
keeping a close eye on the situation.
Between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning
a band of about sixty men gathered nt
Manhallton, near the scene of the
crime, and marched to the workhouse.
The crowd was armed with pistols and
shotguns. When it reached the prison
a demand was made, and those who had
weapons fired them off. There whs
considerable shouting and calls for
White. The workhouse Is a strong, se-
1 place, and Invulnerable to such a
small number of men. The chief war
den had all his guards on duty, but
they were not compelled tot eslst on at
tack, because tho mob soon dispersed.
Shortly’ after this a - second mob, of
probably one hundred men. wns report-
a marching on the workhouse from
Wilmington. Police Capt. Evans of the
Wilmington police force soon heard of
this, and sent a telephonic warning to
the warden, lie followed this up by
sending a squad of seventeen policemen
to the workhouse, where they dispersed
a small crowd. About thirty men hung
about the place until daybreak, when
they also disappeared.
The family of the murdered girl Is
doing all It can to prevent violence and
dvlslng the citlzns to let the law

that the dominant trait of each of
theso men was that he counted his
cause for everything and himself for
nothing. It wns this trait which gave
them their greatest power as command
ers of their respective 1 rmlcs, anl
which distinguished them from many
other generals, perhaps equally able, !s
securing them a common tribute* of
personal respect from the children of
friend and foe. You will have failed
to learn the best lesson of your college
life unless you have caught thnt spirit
which teaches you to value money and
offices and other symbols of success for
the soke of the possibilities of service
which they represent, nnd to despise
the man who thinks of th>* money or
offices rather than of the use he can
make of them. It Is this way of esti
mating success which makes a man a
gentleman In hln dealings with others,
which makes him a patriot when his
country calls for his services, which
mnkrn him a Christ Inn In bln conception
of life nnd bis Ideals of dally living.
These are tho things which count In
the long run.”

SIMLA, India, June 21.—Major Gen.
Charles Comyn Egerton, who has been
In command of tho Punjab frontier
force since 1899, has bden appointed to
.the command of the Somaliland expe
ditionary force which Is operating
against the Mad Mullah, superseding
Brig. Gen. W. H. Manning.
Gen. Manning, who took command of
the British expedition In Somaliland
Inst November, after a reverse suffered
by Col. Swayne.has not proved success
ful In his campaign. Columns detached
from the force have been mauled by
the Mullah’s’ followers, the most se
rious British defeat being the ambush
ing of Col. Plunket’s flying detachment
of 208 men, with two Maxims, on April
17, when Col. Punket, all his officers
and practically the entire force were
wiped out. The last advices received
In London, June 16, were to.the effect
that Gen. Manning himself was sur
rounded and unnble to assist Col. Cobb,
whose column was In a serious position
at Callady, on half rations. One of
the causes of the non-success of the ex
pedition has been the cowardice of tho
native Somali regiment, of which mo
much was hoped when It was formed
recently. Only a few days ago news
coino that the entire native camel
corps had mutinied. The opera
tions ngulnst tho Mullah, who first
raised the tribes against the British in
1899, have alrendy cost $2,000,000. A de
sire has’been manifested to abandon
the campaign, but In view of the pre
dicament of Gen. Manning’s forces it
has been found nccessnry to order Brit
ish troops In India nnd when they ar
rive the British expedition In Somali
land will consist of 800 British, 1,200
Indians troops and 4,000 natives.

GREAT TEXTILE STRIKE
DECLARED AT AX END
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT THAT TIIE LOWELL STRIKERS HAVE VOT
ED UNANIMOUSLY TO RETURN—HIGH PRICE OF COTTON PRECLUDED
ANY HOPE OF SUCCESS—ALL THE OLD HELP WILL BE TAKEN BACK.
STRIKE COST f1,300,OOO IN WAGES. -
LOWELL, Mass., June 21.—The tex
tile council this afternoon declared the
great strike at the Lowell mill at on
end.
Every union affiliated with the coun
cil was represented, and the vote was
unanimous.
Mule spinners nnd loom fixers were
included In tills vote, despite state
ments that they would oppose a return
to work.
The meeting lasted an hour. There
was no dissension. The situation was
discussed carefully, and with no sug
gestion of excitement. The vote showed
every delegation favorable to a return
to work at once.
When asked for a statement, Pres
ident Conroy said, smilingly:
“We now worship at tho altar of de
feat. but later we shall rise again, and
conquer.’’
Agent William Bouthworth, secre
tary of the agents, said:
“It will be Impossible to start the bal
ance of the machinery so as to employ
at once all who will come back. Run
ning with an Incomplete force for throi
u'eeks has disturbed the balance that
usually exists between stock and prices
In the various departments. A mill may
have depleted stock In certain kinds
of yarn, nnd for that reason be unable
to start all of its looms, even If the
full complement of help Is available.
It Is for the selling agents and tins
treasurers to decide, in view of tho
market, whether we shall attempt to
run In full.”
The strike began on March 30, and In
volved about 17,000 operatives. Tho
mills 'were shut down until June l.when
the agents opened the gates, and tho
majority of the operatives went back to
work.
The strike has cost In wages about
$>.300,000,
It Is understood that the agents will
take hack all the old help they hava
room for, and will make no disorlmlrwi-
tion against the U-uders of the strike
movement.
The high price of rotton precluded
any hope of the success of the strikers’
campaign for a 10 per cent. Increase.

young lovers, Ernest Schmlc and Miss

sought to hold him to an elleged en
gagement with her. This led the pair
to seek relief In death und they appa
rently planned tonight's affair with
much deliberation. Miss Brennan pur
chased a bottle of carbolic acid this
morning and shortly afterwards both
started out for a walk. They strayed

When the party came In sight of ths
pair, Miss Brennan put the bottle of
add to her lips and drained It. As sho
did so Bchinle started to run, with sev
eral of the party close on bis heels. Hs
drew a revolver nnd fired upon them
three times and then stopping, turned
the weapon to his heart and shot him-
self twice, lie fell dead instantly.
The girl suffered great agony- and her
physicians hold out scant hope for re
covery.
