Nation of There now remains only one people and one little valley south of the equa­ tor whosa sovereignty has not been claimed by some European power. It to the valley of Barotse, fifty or sixty miles wide, north of Lialun, in South Africa. And the only reason why the Marotse, who inhabit It, have preserved their independence is that England and Portugal both claim it, and therefore the work of "clviliaation" is at a stand- stiil. It may not be so easy to conquer the Marotse when the time comes, for they are a tall, well-set-up race, very black in skin. In manners they are very courteous and in bearing dignified. Ev­ ery full-blooded Marotse Is by birth­ right a king, and takes hie place in the aristocracy of the empire. In fact, as every one is king, there is no head ruler. The bare fact that he is a Marotse in­ sures the respect of the subservient tribes, and as he grows to manhood a sense of superiority usually implants in the native the dignity of self-respect. All the labor is done by slaves who have been captured from neighboring tribes. \ Iiftdteo* Maid Golf Caperf.

Amy Officers are confi- LiEtrr. qilmobs. dent, however, that this was merely a pretext for reopening negotiations for tsarrender. Ae| ttade no request for an exchange of prisoners, and left Gen. MacArthur after a brief conference, promising to return with the released prisoners in a few days. They asked, however, in return for the release of the prisoners that envoys be permitted -to accqmpany them through the lines to confer with Gen. Otis. In asking permission to send American prisoners into our lines, a correspondent says, Aguinaldo shows that he no longer has the idea of holding these men as hostages to protect himself. He is prob­ ably beginning to understand that his threats against the American prisoners are useless, and if carried into execu­ tion would close the door even to the general amnesty which had been promis­ ed by Gen. Otis. He is, therefore, tak­ ing a verv proper step to enable his rep­ resentative to ask for a conference with the American general in command. The Secretary of War, however, does not hope for an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Philippines, and will g>ve no orders which will change the general plan of campaign. Secre­ tary Root presented this proposition to the cabinet, and it was discussed very briefly. The gen eral opinion was that the command­ ers in the Philip- pines could handle macarthtjb. the situation, and that there was no oe» casion for any action by the authorities in Washington. The conditions have not changed. The Government cannot recognize any so-call- ed rebel government. Gen. Otis is the representative of the United States in the Philippines, and he has an army there to put down the rebellion. His orders ar? to suppress this rebellion, and his terms to the rebels are unconditional surrender. The President and Secretary of War have approved Gen. Otis' action. They will not modify any demand he has made. Admiral Watson reports the rout of a force of rebels intrenched on Lingayen gulf, island of Luzon, by the gunboat Paragua, commanded by Ensign David­ son. The Paragua is one of the small gunboats purchased from Spain by Gen. Otis and turned over to the navy. The scene of the battle was on the north coast of Luzon, off the port which forms the northern terminus of the railroad. s SOME STARTLING FIGURES. Caanaltie* Resulting from Trouble* in ths Pana Mining; District. The grand total of casualties since the advent of negro miners from the South to take the places of striking white min­ ers in the Pana district is something ap­ palling. The coal strike was declared in southern Illinois on April 1, 1898, be­ cause of the failure of the operators to abide by the decision of the arbitration board. Four months later the importa­ tion of negro miners from Alabama com­ menced. With the arrival of the first batch of negroes the trouble began. Numerous clashes of a more or less sanguinary na­ ture occurred almost daily, but the first great tragedy came Oct. 13, when the mine guards at Virden shot and killed eleven strikers and wounded nineteen more. One negro was killed and four wounded in this battle. Other battles fought at Pana. Carterville and Virden, in which the roll of dead and wounded was more than doubled, followed. Following is a complete list of casual­ ties since the beginning of the trouble: Oct. 13, 1898, at Virden, 11 whites, one negro. Oct. 16,1898, at Pana, one negro; April 1, at Pana, two whites, five negroes. June 30, 1899. at Carterville, one negro. Sept. 17, 1.899. at Carterville, seven ne­ groes. Total, 13 whites and 15 negroes. Wounded: Sept. 29, 1898, Pana, om negro; Oct. 11, 1898, Pana, two whites; Oct. 13, 1898, Virden, 19 whites, four negroes; >.ov. 17, 1898, Pana, one white, two negroes; April 10, 1899/Pana, eight whites, one negro; June 30, 1899, Carter­ ville, 20 negroes. Total, 30 whites and 28 negroes. CONSUELO GOSS INTO RACING. Said to Be the Silent Tnrf Partner of Lord tfillian Hereeford. The Duchess of Marlboro, it is report­ ed, is the silent partner of Lord William Bcresford in the ownership of the latter's racing stable. Lord William is one of the greatest and most successful patrons of the English race- track. He employs Tod Sloan and other American jockeys and has won over fifty victories during the past season. When the duchess was Consuelo Vanderbilt she was an excellent whip and a dar:ng rider. She has lost none of her love for good horses and to­ day her chief recreation and pastime is riding and driving. Her action in iden­ tifying herself with the turf is causing much discussion in London society cir­ cles. • TMOUSAND8 DIE BY STORM. Kntire Villages in Japan Reported aa f wept Away. The steamship Empress of India brings details of the storm which swept across Japan. The prefectures of Kochi, Taka- matsu, Ehime and Okayama suffered most, a total of 325 lives in all being offi­ cially reported lost, with 11,135 houses overthrown or inundated in Kochi, Taka- matsu and Okayama. Ehime reported no financial loss, but the death of 1,500 residents, the greatest casualties occurring at a large village near the Besshi copper mine, which was utterly obliterated. From the wreck of this mine itself 120 corpses had been re­ moved at last adviccs, 'while it was fear­ ed that fully 000 others remained below ground. MUST P-Y CRIME'S PENALTY. President Will Not rove Boldiera Who Assaulted Women. Corporal Damhoffer and Private Conine, sentenced to death by court martial for assaulting Filipino women, will, accord­ ing to a Washington correspondent, not receive any mercy at the hands of th« President. The sentence of the court martial will be carried out-as soon as the proceedings and findings in the two cases can be reviewed and approved, unless there should be something irregular about the proceedings. The President has fu!ly determined not to interfere in any, in the execution of the sentence qeart martial. case, Hrhich taeideat to closed. The military • tKe rc^pect of all, tiK«:aigi*n»e in perfect inde- AU wE jts, Ifithout harboring bowed to the decision, equally accept the act which a «f deep pity dictated to the presi­ dent. There can oo longer exist the idea of reprisals of any kind, hence 1 repeat the iniellefit is closed." The Paris Official Journal publishes President Loubet's decree for the pardon of Dreyfus. It also prints the official re­ port of Gen. de GalBfet, minister of war, •attesting that Dreyfus be release^ Gen. de Gallifet points out that, though it is tile first duty of the Government to in­ sure respect for decisions of justice, yet the general wish of the country for paci­ fication makes it necessary that there should be an immediate end of the pain­ ful conflict. Moreover, Gen. de GaHitet declares the serious condition of the pris­ oner's health must be considered, as he is not in a fit condition to stand further imprisonment. The long imprisonment on Devil's Islaiyi, Gen. de Gallifet urges, should also be taken into consideration. Besides, there are higher political rea­ sons for the course he suggests, and the court martial itseif has plainly indicated its wish t!«at the carrying out of the sen­ tence should be tempered with mercy. Captain Dreyfus and his brother Ma- thieu arrived Thursday at Carpentras. Dreyfus stopped at the house of his sis­ ter, Mme. Valabregue. Mme. Dreyfus joined her husband, and here the Dreyfus children met their father for the first time since his arrest in 1894. Captain Dreyfus and his family will go to San Remo, Italy. « Dreyfus and the frienda of justice will nof be deterred by the declaration of Gen. de Gallifet that "the incident is closed."' In his appeal to France in the Aurore Dreyfus announces ,that he will never rest until he is vindicated, as freedom without honor is nothing. In due time an appeal will undoubtedly be made to the court of cassation for a revision of the sentence of the Rennes court martial. The chief fear is that Dreyfus uajr not lire to see his Vindication. FILIPINOS DITCH A TRAIN. Two Americana Are Killed--Gen. Otis' Plan Fail*. A party of Filipino insurgents ditched a railroad train a mile and a half south of Angeles Friday morning and then opened fire upon the derailed cars from a bamboo thicket close to the track. Two Americans were killed and five others wounded. Lieut. Lome and five of his scouts, who were on the train, made a vigorous defense and caused the enemy to flee. Sijc dead rebels were afterward found in the thicket from which the rebel fire came. Gen. Wheaton, with six com­ panies, proceeded from Calulet to the re­ lief of the tl*ain, but his services were not needed. Word has reached the War Depart­ ment showing that Gen. Otis has sought to imitate the policy employed in Cuba of buying Filipino arms, and that his efforts have been unsuccessful. The na­ tives were given to understand that up­ on the surrender of a gun the military authorities would pay the person surren­ dering it $40 and guarantee him immu­ nity from arrest for previous armed oppo­ sition to the United States and protection for the future. Notwithstanding this tempting offer not one bona fide surrender of a gun is reported. A dispatch from Manila Thursday con­ tained the information that the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers had sailed for the Unit­ ed States on the transport. Senator. BULL FIGHT TURNS TO RIOT. Disappointed Mexican spectators Be* come Knragcd. Failure on the part of the manager of a Campeche, Mexico, bull fight to fulfill his promises resulted in a general riot, during which many persons were badly injured. The manager had advertised fights with six fierce bulls and Spanish picadors were billed to perform the high­ est feats of the profession, including somersaults over the backs of "the most savage animals that could be procured. Instead of the ferocious beasts, six tame bulls were introduced, and the animals ran away from the center of the ring when the fighters approached them. This enraged the spectators to a degree of frenzy. They tore down the seats and the very ring itself, assaulting the per­ formers and the manager, who, it is claimed, was seeking flight with the pro­ ceeds of the tickets sold. BIG FIRE IN NEW YORK.

A sensa­ tional feature of the fire was tlje possi bility that it might cause the explosion of a vast amount of dynamite stored by the Government at Rock Island, on the old side of the river. rfa/A' State Offcors and Legislators to Be Voted For In Twelve States. ^%^,Ais is an- "off year" poBtkal- •••etat State elections to be MU 1b November are of interest.

Murderously Assaulted In a Palatine, IlL, Bank by Supposed Robber. Cashier Fred J. Filbert of Charles H. Patten's bank at Palatine, 111., was beat­ en with a hammer in the hands of a man whose purpose is thought to have been robbery, Wednesday afternoon. The as­ sault occurred in the bank. Filbert's skull was crushed by two blows. The assail­ ant, who claims his name is Walter Law- ton and is 32 years of age, was prevent­ ed from carrying out his supposed plan to rob the bank by Henry Plagge, an aged farmer, who entered the place im­ mediately after the cashier's bleeding body had been thrown under a desk. lLawton struck him on the head with the hammer repeatedly, but the aged man fought for his life. Plagge wrenched the hammer from his antagonist's hand and the stranger than drew a revolver. In the struggle between the two men for this weapon it was discharged and Lawton was shot in the abdomen. Lawton was then seized by townspeo­ ple who had heard the sonnds of the struggle and the cries of the wounded men. He told the village authorities that he had come to take the life of the bank cashier because he had broken up his (Lawton's) home in New York five years ago. The townspeople do not believe this story, as it is well known that Mr. Fil­ bert -has not been in New York within twenty-five years. Lawton was taken to a Chicago hospital, being hastened out of the village by the authorities on ac­ count of the threats of summary punish­ ment made by enraged citizens, and |there he died. Stekv...

Ad­ miral Dewey is quoted as saying: "Admiral Von Diederichs s$g£ his flag lieutenant to me with a list of complaints that £e wished to make against the way I treated the ships under his command. They had exhausted my patience. I had been forbearing Hi the extreme, and this protest of complaint was too much. The German officer who brought the message was on the afterdeck, and when I read it I stepped to the door of my cabin. He came to meet me and stood in the door­ way. As nearly as I can remember my exact words were: *Wnac is it you want? Do you want war? You know what that means. If you do you can have it in five minutes. We are a peaceable people, but we have got into a fight now and we are ready to go on. If necessary we are ready to fight the world.
