One of tho wisest and ino:it satis

A great deal has been said in regard
to the voices of women i.i public speak
ing since their great international
congress, and one point upon whL-k
they havo been laughed at h tho ten
dency they show to raise tho pitch of
the voice with tho idea that that will
add to its carrying power. One would
almost pve:er har friends to have the
tone that is not adapted to public speak
ing rather than to have tham possess
that peculiar carrying tono in private
life. Once in a while one hears a
voice in a public conveyance that,
without being loud is so penetrating
that the confidential conversation of
its owner is plainly hoard, to the de
light of some individuals, to tho un
easiness of others. At such moments
one knows what Holme3 mast have
meant when he spoke of tho kind of
voice that would kill a man and he'd
never know what ailed him.
The last Michigai Legislature
passed a bill appropria'ing $2303 per
year for a period of two ycar3 for the
location and support of an agricultu
ral experiment station at some point
on the upper peninsula. In an inter
view outlining the ideas or the board
in opening up the new station, tho
president of tho board, Mr Snyder,
paid: "Iho consideration! as to the
locality of tho no.v station will- bo
chiefly, and perhaps wholly, physical
and geographical. We desire to lo
cate tho station where it will lo t'le

Fearful Destruction.
INSURGENTS RESIST FIERCELY
Men
From the Charleston
Concord Land Under
Hot Pise.
and
A special from Mauila pays: Tho
United States cruiser Charleston, the
monitor Monterey and tho gunboats
Concord aud Zaliro, with marine? and
bluo jackots from the cruiser Balti
more, left Cavito September 18th and
proceeded to Subig bay to destroy an
insurgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the oper
ation was postponed until Saturday,
when the warships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the intrenchments where the gun was
situated.
Men from tho Charleston, Concord
andZaiiro were then landed under a
hctvy insurgent fire, proceeding to tho
cannon, which was utterly destroyed
by gun cotton and then returning to
the warship. The Americans had one
man wounded during tho engagement.
AYhilo waiting in Subig bay for bet
ter weather, the Americans descried
Filipino re enforcements moving to
ward Olan'rapo. At G:10 a. in. Satur
day the Monterey began the advance
upon the town, which was about three
miles east of the monitor's anchorage.
Tho Charleston, Concord and Zafiro
followed.
At 7:25 the Monterey opened fire
with her second artillery and main
batteries, tho Charleston and Concord
joining immediately. At 7:38 the in
surgents' cannon answered, the first
shot passing close to the Monterey's
6mokestack' The gun was fired twice
only.
Tin American bombarding then be
came general. At 9:39 the Monterey
advanced to a range of COO yards,
using her main battery. Two hun
dred and fifty men were landed about
800 yards east of the cannon at 11
o'clook under a severe Mauser fire.
The men from the Charleston were
the first to reach the beach, but the
Concord's men were the first to the
gun, which they reached at 11:10.
The cannon was found to be a sixteen
centimeter Krupp gun, presumably
obtained from the Spaniards.
Meanwhile the warships continued
to shell the shelving beach on the
east and west to silence the insurgent
fire upon the 6ailors from the trenches
skirting the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded fifty pounds
of guncotton, in three discharges, in
the cannon, which had suffered from
tho fire of the warships. Tho Ameri
cans then returned to the boats, the
firing inland being kept up to protect
the embarkation. The Concord's men
were the last to leave the shore and
the warships were reached at 12:50
p. ru.
Cadet Brinser, with the Concord's
launch, armed with a gatling, did ex
cellent work on the left of the
landing party. Captain Myers, of the
mraine3, captured a muzzle-loading
field piece. Lieutenant McDonald was
in command of the landing party and
the movemont was splendidly executed
and controlled.
The number of Filipinos there could
not be ascertained and no dead were
seen.
The Monterey fired for four hours
twenty-one shots from her ten-inch
guns and seventeen from her twelve
inch guns.
The town, which was riddled with
shells, took fire at several points.
Fatal Oil Explosion.
While making preparations to
"shoot" the Eayl oil well, near Wells
ville, O., Salurday afternoon, the well
overflowed and the oil ignited from the
fire under the boiler, causing a terrible
explosion. Two men were killed out
right and three others injured, two of
them it is thought, fatally.
FOCU TRAINMEN' KILLED.
l'naaonger and Fi eight Train Collide Near
Knnsas City.
Passenger train, north bound on
tho St. Louis and San Francisco rail
road, collided with a freight train fif
teen miles southeast of Kansas City,
Wodnesday morning. Four people
were killed and four others injured.
All the dead and injured were train
men. Fireman Rider was buried beneath
tho baggage-mail car and burned to
death, the car and its contents of mail
aud baggage being entirely consumed.
Another man, probably a tramp, was
also cremated.

Ploro Thnn Espcctttil.
A New York special pays: All the
general arrangements for the recep
tion of Admiral Dewey are now com
plete and only a few details aro left to
bo settlod. Tho majority of these can
not bo attended to until tho admiral
has arrived and his wishes have been
consulted.
All the pub-oommitteos havo about
finished their work and have presented
their reports to tho general committee.
The committoo on distribution of
tickets was tit work all day in tho
mayor's ofilco until late at night. They
apportioned nearly 20,000 tickots, all
there were at their disposal. There
were applications for more than 100,
000. Their work did not include the
distribution of tickets to tho munici
pal assembly and theBchool children's
stands. These tickets will be at the
disposal of the municipal legislators
and the presidont of tho board of edu
cation. The committee on stands is yet to
decide exactly what will be the capaci
ty of the new stands. If the commit
tee stands for all the expenditures it
has authorized, it will have spent more
than $-15,000 in excess of tho first ap
propriation made to it of $30,000 and
1,000 more than it has in eight even
if tho municipal assembly votes to give
it the additional $23,000 that is to be
asked fcr at tho next meeting of the
aldermen and council.
For the seventy odd thousand ex
pended, the committee has furnished
about 20,009 seats to the ticket com
mittee, 4,000 on the city hall stands,
G,0a0 for the school children, 10,000
for tho municipal assembly and 25,000
for the veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic, a total of about 40,500
seats for about $73,000.
Concerning the committee of seven
that is to attend Admiral Dewey during
his stay in New York, Mr. Foster said
he had received a reply in writing from
Channcey M. Depew and in person
from Richard Croker and William
McAdoo. Mr. Croker said the com
mitteo could make any use of him
they desired and that he was ready to
do anything in his power to help along
the success of the celebration. With
the exception of Levi P. Morton and
W. C. Whitney all the members of the
committee havo accepted.
MISTRIAL IN HUGHES CASE.

Another mistrial has resulted in the
Mattio A. Hughes murder case at
Greenville, S. C.
The jury retired Friday night shortly
after 6 o'clock and at 10 o'clock an
nounced that it would be impossible
to agree. They were sent back to their
room with instructions to deliberate
further.
At 8 o'clock Saturday morning they
asked that they bo discharged, having
reached no verdict.
The jury stood eight for acquittal,
three for manslaughter and one for
oonviction.
The defendant will be tried again at
tho coming spring term of court. She

FAMOUS ASTROLOGER DEAD.
lie Predicted Date of Hit Domlie Like
wise That of IIli Wife and Son.
Dr. Luke D. Broughton, president
of the Astrological Society of America,
died in New York Saturday. He cast
his horoscope many years ago and pre
dicted that tho critical periods of his
life were the 15th, 10th and 21st days
of the present month and present
year. His death, he predicted, would
occur on Sej t 'inber 22d.
Dr. Broughton has made many suc
cessful predictions. On his advice
his eldest son did not marry, as his
father had predicted the exact time of
his death in 1S85. Mrs. Broughton
also died as predicted in 1891. He
wrote many many pamphlets and one
book on astrology.
VERDICT IN T'.VO SECTIONS.
Cartervlile Jury Undecided a to Parties
Who Shot Negroes.
A Cartcrville, 111., special says that
the secret verdict of the coroner's jury
in the Cartcrville riot case is in two
sections.
The first states that four of the ne
groes came to their death by gunshot
wounds inflicted during a riot and
charges a number of white men with
being engaged in the riot. The jnry
states thit it is unable to say which
of the accused men killed the negroes.
In the second section of the verdict
the jury finds that the fifth negro
killed, Sam Cummings, was 6hot by
Elmer James and others.
MUST RESTRAIN
ALL COMBINES
Oatcomc of the Convention Held
Under Saycfs Call.
STRONG RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Capital Invested Legitimately
Should Not lie Interfered
With.
After two days of epeech-making
at St. Louis, tho governors, attorney
generals and other state representa
tives adopted resolutions outlining
the legislation needed to control tho
so-called trusts and combines and ad
journed sino dio Thursday night.
Tho resolutions embodied were
agreed to after a long session of tho
committee on resolutions. So widely
divergent were tho views presented
for it consideration that it was after
midnight when tho committed was able
to arrive at any conclusion. The whole
matter was thon referred to a sub-committee,
composed of Governor McMil
lin, of Tennessee, aud Attorneys Gen
eral Smith, of Texas, and Campbell,
of Colorado, to put into proper shape.
Governor McMillin, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, presented
the report of that committee.
In presenting tho report of tho com
mittee on resolution, Govornor Mc
Millin eaid he was aware of the fact
that the trusts and combinations in
restraint of trade are in a de
gree dependable upon federal, etato
and municipal governments for their
continuance. He believed it was in
cumbent npon the national, state and
municipal governments to restrain the
operations of these trusts and combi
natiqus. "The situation and perhaps the ef
forts of the conference are misunder
stood," the speaker contined. "It is
not tho object of this conference to
crush corporations, nor to interfere
with capital in any legitimate fovm.
The object of these resolutions is not
to crush either corporations or to de
stroy capital, but to regulate them, so
as to meet the fair demands of all the
people. .
"This is the purpose and this is tho
object we hope to accomplish, Tho
organization of trusts and combines
within the last two years is the occa
sion and authority for our presence
here. Wo are seeking to ascertain a
proper power for the curtailment of
what is apparently menacing evil, aud
the accomplishment of this object can
be effected through the independent
action of the citizen. Ve have the
best land in the history of man.
"We furnish tho world with thirty
ono per cent of the manufactured ar
ticles of the world and thirtv-two ner
cent of all the banking. In tho mat
ter of agriculture, notwithstanding
Great Britain, Russia and other csun
tries, we feed the world. This agri
cultural class is not organized and
cannot be organized into trusts or
combines and must bo protected
against other interests which can
combine.
"The industrial and other impor
tant interests are combined to con
trol the wealth of the country in the
hands of a few and by these means
the sweat and toil of the millions is
controlled. Our object is to prevent
this. Corporations are necessary in a
proper degree to the successful con
duct of business, but they should not
be so managed and controlled as to
destroy business. It is not proper to
place thp commerce of this great coun
try in thfl hands of three or four peo
ple and thereby control the labor and
destiny of the republic.
"When all these industries are
combined into one band for tho man
ufacture of a given article, they paral
yze labor without extending sufficient
protection. It is one of the objects of
this conference to correct this condi
tion of affairs.
"Within recent years, I think less
than two years, not less than 200
trusts havo organized with a capital
of Si, 230,000, 000. If all tho gold
drawn from tho earth could be mar
shaled into one sum it could not pay
the obligations cf these trusts; if ail
silver taken from the earth was ap
plied it could not cancel tho obliga
tions of these combinations.
Iu couclnding, the speaker claimed
that tho interests were so vital as not
to be of partisan character, but
con
tended that a prohibitive tariff had
much to do with the creation of trusts,
using the sugar trust as an illustra
tion. Kesolutions thanking Governor Sav
ers for his efforts in behalf of the con
ference were adopted before delaring
the conference adjourned.
