HARRISBI'RG, Pa., March 11.—Judge
Weiss has handed down an opinion, re
straining the state and national councils
of the Junior Order United American
Mechanics from collecting the per capita
of 15 cents levied by the national council
at its annual session at Minneapolis. The
state council was suspended by the na
tional last September at Scranton for
declining to pay this tax, and was sub
sequently reinstated by the national ju
diciary committee. Derry council, of
Hummelstowii, and a large number of
other councils throughout the state re
fused to submit to the Imposition of the
tax and recently brought suit In the
Dauphin county court to restrain the
state and national councils from collect
ing It on the ground that the session at
Minneapolis was irregular and Illegal.
Judge Weiss sustained this contention
and enjoins the state and national coun
cils from collecting the tax or disciplin
ing the councils which refuse to pay it.
The case will be carried to the supreme
court.
HOW TO BRING UP BOYS
SENATOR DEPEW'S IDEAS OF THE
BEIST TRAINING
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 11 .-Pres
ident McKinley, Secretary Long, Senator
Chauncey M. Depew and a number of
members of congress attended tonight a
public meeting at the Columbia theater,
held in the Interest of the National
Junior Republican, which has its head
quarters at Annapolis Junction. The ob
ject of the Republican Is to provide for
the boys of Washington and Baltimore,
especially those without homes, a place
where they can be taught to care for and
govern themselves. Senator Depew made
an interesting talk, in the course of which
he said:
"I am always suspicious of philan
thropy. It comes to me in so many forms
and so many guises seeking help. In
many cases either the individual is a
fraud or the cause he represents is a
fraud. I am convinced that fully one-half
of all charitable efforts are productive
of more harm than good. They increase
pauperism and encourage paupbrs to re
main as such. Especially is it true in
England, that most of the money con
tributed for charitable work is absorb**!
In the salaries and office rent of those
directing its expenditure.
I have observed that a scholarship in
one of our colleges that provides for all
the wants of the student holding it usual
ly turns out an indifferent or worthless
man, while a scholarship that only sup
plements the efforts of the student pro
ducts are especial and useful citizens,
and often a man of brilliant parts. The
men who have become great are they
who have had had to work their way
through college. '
It is because It teaches self-help and
self-reliance that I like the work of
junior republic. The problem that con
fronts us in America is the concentration
of population in great cities. There the
boy lacks the beneficial environment of
good home and good neighbors, and Is
surrounded by vice and temptation. Tho
mere education of a boy who grows up
with such surroundings may only make
him the more dangerous a citizen In
every large city there are hundreds and
thousands of boyß whose surroundings
tend to make them villains and rascals
murderers, or ballot box stuffers and
ward heelers. How are we to save them?
Various remedies have been proposed
Some say by education, but the mere
education of such a boy may make him
only the more dangerous aa a citizen
The reform school has been tried, but
this arouses antagonism in the boy's
breast, and makes him hate the law and
the powers that enforce it. As remedial
measures I think both of these plans are
failures. You have got to appeal to the
manhood of the boy, and have got to
raise his self-respect. '
Addresses also were made by Mr. Blair,
Mr. Thomas C. Noyes and several officers
of the Republican party, A letter of
regret was read from Hon John Hay.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1900.
SOLVES THE ROTARY
A STILLWATER MAN FEAFECTB
A NEW WORKING
ENGINE . ,
SATISFACTORY TEST MADE
Successful Result of Years of Study
to Prodnee What 1m Expected
to Revolutionize th-e Make
of Engine*.
STILLWATER, Minn., March 11.-tSpe
clal.)—The honor of having perfected a
rotary engine rightfully belongs to
Charles Fischer, a resident of this city,
who, on Saturday, demonstrated his suc
cess at a test given In D. M. Swains
foundry, where he built an engine during
the past winter, having one-horse power.
Fischer has for many years been engaged
on the steamer Clyde, and is known by
engineers as a thorough mechanic. For
years he has been studying the subject
of rotary engines, and last fall became
possessed of ideas which he carried into
execution. The cylinder of the engine is
less than three inches in diameter and la
encircled by a brass collar.
When he was ready to start the en
gine Saturday, he turned the steam Into
the cylinder, but. the engine refused to
budge, and Fischer's hopes were mo
mentarily dashed, but he happened to re
alize that brass expands and after trim
ming the collar he made another test and
the engine started without trouble. It
has an easy motion and gives lots of
power. Fischer said he expected to get
about 1,500 revolutions per minute out of
the engine, but the first test showed a
speed of 2,500.
In view of the fact that the new in
vention is not yet patented he does not
wish to disclose how his engine Is made,
but many engineers and mechanics who
saw the engine In operation say it is a
wonder and that it will do more than
the inventor claims for it. He naturally
feels highly elated over his success and
will secure patent rights as soon as pos-1
sib'.e. A great advantage possessed by|
the engine is that while running at full
speed It can be reversed. The engine
operates without a governor, and George
Dougherty, of St. Paul, who was present
at the first test, said he bore down upon
the flywheel for the purpose of tesfng
the power and says that his combined
weight and strength made no perceptible
difference in the speed of the engine. A
more thorough test will be made Monday,
when the engine will be attached to a
lathe in the shop.

TBXES TO PODGE HIS DEBTS.
Prince Clarence. Cblef of Mosquito
Teirrltory, Has an Exrnae.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 11.—
Prince Clarence, chief of the Mosquito
Territory and protege of the British gov
ernment, who resides In Jamaica, has
be«n sued by local merchants. His sol
icitor sets up In defense the allegation
that Prince Clarence was the sovereign
Chief of the Mosquito Territory prior to
and at the time of the accrnlng of the
cause of the action, and therefore is en
titled to all the rights appertaining to
him as prince of the Mosquito Territory
The solicitor contends that Clarence
ought not to be compelled against his
will to answer in a legal action before
any of the Judges or before a minister
of the nueen in Jamaica, and, on behalf
of his client, he denies the Jurisdiction of
the Jamaican courts.
This raises an interesting question, as
Prince Clarence is considerably in debt,
and the settlement of the issue is im
portant to him,

CHICAGO,. March 11.—The Building
Trades Council at its meeting today re

the Machinists' union,. The union is on«
of the largest In . the f£ounfc}l, and labor
men say tne failure to support its strike
probably will lead to it* secession.
President James Q'Connell, of the
union, declined to discuss the council's
action, and he declared the machinists
will continue on strike until their de
mands have been grahted. This is said
to be the first time in: Chicago for many
years that a strong labor organization
has declined to order a sympathetic

WEEK AT THE CAPITAL
HOUSE WILL. BE DULIj, THE SEN
ATE UVELY.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 11.—The
week In the house promises to be rather
dull. Tomorrow the contested election
case of Wise vs. Young from the Vir
ginia district, which has been debated
for two days, will be voted upon. Dr.
Wise, the contestant, who Is a Repub
lican, was seated by a former congress
on a contest, and indications are that he
will be seated.
Tuesday the conference on the financial
bill will be disposed of. There may
be some lively debate upon the
report, but it will command the
full party strength on the Re
publican side, and will be adopted. The
remainder of the week will be devoted
to appropriation bills, of which two have
been reported to the house, the army
and the District of Columbia bills.
The senate will continue to give at
tention to the Puerto Rlcan bill and the
Quay resolution this week, with a prob
ability that there may be a decision in
favor of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and |
Senator Mason's Boer resolution. Mr.
Mason says it Is his purpose to call up
his resolutions again, and to get a vote
upon them If possible- Senator Davis
has expressed an intention to ask the sen
ate to take up the treaty during the lat
ter part of the week, but Senator For
aker, in charge of the Puerto Rican bill,
expresses confidence that Senator Davis
will not bring the treaty forward in time
to embarrass the Puerto Riean measure.
Speeches on the Pusrto Rican question
will begin Monday. Senators Rawlins and
Turner and probably, later In the week,
Senator Nelson will be heard. The de
bate on this measure will be very gen
eial,- and possibly quite spirited. The
members of the committee on order of
business emphatically contradict the re
ports that the commiftee is exerting its
influence to secure the amendment for
the Puerto Rican bill, saying that the
committee has nothing to do with the
formation of legislation. The senate will
meet at 10 o'clock Monday, two ""hours in
advance of the usual hour of convening,
in order to take up the Alaskan code bill,
the reading of which has not yet been
completed.
BBITAIN OBJECTS.
Hay-Panncefote Agreement Doe«n't
Give Satisfaction.
LONDON, March 12.-The Standard, dis
cussing editorially the Hay-Pauncefote
convention, says: "We hope Lord Salis
bury will not agree to the amendment
of the senate committees which would
emasculate the convention. We would be
no better off than if we tore up the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, and that is what many
people In the United States who have not
Mr. McKinley's regard for the sanctity of
treaty obligations would like to see
done."
The Morning Post says: "If the sen
ate committees purpose lg maintained,
not only would Great Britain renounce
her rights under the Clayton-Bulwer con
vention, but she would become a party
to the extension and establishment of
American military power to a foreign
Btate."

Correspondence of the Associated Presa.
SORSOGON, Luzon Island, Jan. 21.—
Col. Howe and the four companies of the
Forty-seventh regiment were no Booner
established at Sorsogcn than Gen. Kobbe
gave orders for the occupation of Bulan,
twenty-five miles Bcuth, and Donsol,
thirty miles above Sorsogon, both small
ccast towns. Early this morning prep
arations were under way to transfer
Companies A and D, of the Forty-sev
enth, from the Hancock to the Helena
for conveyance to Donsol, and for Com
pany B to go aboard the Nashville for
Bulan. By 8 o'clock the Helena and
Nashville were loaded and steamed
away, the Helena for Donsol, and the
Nashville turning toward Bulan. At 11
the Helena was off Donsol.
Through glasses could be seen men and
wcmen leaving the town, carrying bun
dles of household goods with them. The
beach trenches were lined with .peering
faces, and the only flag over the town
was Spanish. Donsol appeared as a few
zinc-roofed warehouses, and some long
lines of thatch huts. The white beach
Is lined with fish weirs, drying nets and
dug-out canoes. Behind the town, some
thirty miles, the symmetrical cone
shaped volcano of Mayon rises 8,000 feet.
One company of soldiers was loaded
into the Helena's small boats, but this
action was followed by such activity be
hind the trenches that the leaders of thiii
expedition decided upon another course
of action. The Helena's launch, with
Maj. Wise and Lieut. Kobbe on ba-rd,
ran in for the beach, towing a rowfcuat.
When close to the fish weirs the launch
stopped and the rowboat, carrying a
flag of truce, landed in front of the
trenches. Meantime the Helena had
cleared for action, and the sailors still
on board were sent to cover, and those
already In the small boats were waiting
just astern In tow of the tug Nunez.
The boat with the flag of truce re
turned after a conference.
"They want until 3 this afternoon to
decide whether they want to resist us or
surrender," said Maj. Wise, "but I guess
we'll be going ashore right now."
At 12:45 the boats started In for the
beach, the Helena prepared to bombard
the village in case our men were fired
on, but not a shot was fired. When the
men landed on the beach, not a face was
to be seen at the trenches. We formed
In company front, and small squads were
started through the town. It was ab
solutely deserted.
On a low hill, about 600 yards behind
the town, the enemy was discovered, clus
tered in and about a small trench and
around a last century muzzle-loading
cannon.
Meanwhile Maj. Vise had gone to the
door of the house from which flew the
Spanish flag. It was on a high pole and
Maj. Wise wanted that for the American
flag. He knocked on the door, and the
commander of the Filipino forces in that
town, the local president, and the civil
governor of the district, all in the per
son of a brown man in a Filipino uni
form, came and let him in.
"Will you haul down that Spanish
flag?" asked the major. "I want to put
this one in its place."
There was no objection to the request,
so at 1:10 the Stars and Stripes floated
over Donsol, and the Helena and her
launch tooted their greetings. The
Helena was landing the second company
and already beginning to get the soldiers'
rations ashore.
As Capt. Hart and a dozen men were
crossing the rice fields, between the town
and the hill, where the enemy was lo
cated, there was a volley from the Fili
pinos and hostilities had opened. Most
of the bullets sang over Capt. Hart's
head, and so out to sea. The enemy were
firing high. They had left a message in
town saying they would give us battle o:i
the heights.
"Send them word that if they do not
surrender and bring In their cannon in
two hours, I'll have the navy shell their
position," answered Maj. Wise.
The president found a messenger for
this reply, and he was on his way when
the first volley was fired. Then began
the storming of Donsol heights. We had
been told there were but twenty rifles
and a small store of ammunition among
theh insurgents, and as our soldiers start
ed for the hill we saw the enemy disap
pear from their trenches at its top. The
soldiers went laughing, panting and
stumbling through the jungle that grew
on the hillside, and came to the top vic
torious, for there was no enemy in sight
From beside the old brass cannon there
was a good view of the country behind
the town, and as we looked the enemy
peered out at ub from behind nearly every
clump of trees. We caught sight of
them In small parties as they s'.unk
through the jungle, apparently waiting
to come back Into town, but not quite
daring to attempt it.
The Chinese residents of Donsol had
not abandoned the town. They hid away
In shacks and warehouses, coming out
lateT to loot Filipino houses, but thi3
practice was quickly terminated by the
American officers.
In the morning, before we landed, thera
had been a meeting of the townspeople
in the principal plaza of Donsol. Some
men with property interests and bales of
hemp ready for the market were in favor
of surrendering 1. But there was a revo
lutionary hot-head, an officer, In the
gathering, who turned to his followers
and said:
"Shall we tamely surrender our town
to the enemy and become the laughing
stock of our flg'hting brothers In the
North? Let us show them we a!so have
the courage to fight, and, if need be, to
die, for our beloved country."
This won the orator a certain follow
ing, and It was decided to ask for three
hours for deliberation. But when our
boats were actually seen coming ash->re,
the Tagalos In the party for resistance
could not hold their les« sanguinary fol
lowers, and the army broke for the hill
top, where they were persuaded to fire
that one volley, and then ran away.
There was little enough food in Donsol
and back in the hills there ts still less.
The natives already have begun to come
back to the village, bringing their fam
ilies.
Company B and the Nashville met with
no resistance at Bulan. The natives did
not abandon the town, but crowded down
to the beach to witness the landing. It
seems that about nine months ago three
Tagalos with rifles walked into Bulan
and In the name of the Filipino govern
ment ordered the townspeople to con
struct trenches for the defense of the
place. This the people did, whereupon
the Tagalos went away, and that was the
first and last time the people of Bulan
ever saw any insurgents. There was not
a soldier In the place when our men
landed. A few frightened women had run
Into the country when the Nashville
had steamed In, but they soon came back
to their homes and were laughed at by
their neighbors for their fears. Our of
ficers talked with the town president,
who la to be continued In office as be
fore, and, following his suggestions, our
troops were quartered In comfortable
houses near the beach. The president
seemed pleased at our occupation and
promised his people peace, prosperity and
a resumption of business under our con
trol. Bulan has suffered much from lack
of food during the six months' blockade
"and the natives there were much more
interested in the approaching arrival of a
steamer bringing rice, clothes and flour
than in any matters of Filipino inde
pendence

MAHAN SAYS FORTIFY
GREAT NAVAL. EXPERT WRITES
ON "MONROE DOCTRINE AND
OIR NAVY"
AS APPLIED TO THE ISTHMUS
lUn ReiajwitM for Believing the Con
nection of the Two Oceans
Should Be Under Na
val Control.
NEW YORK, March 11.—In a paper on
"The Monroe Doctrine and Our Navy"
which he has written for the forthcoming
issue of Leslie's Weekly, Capt. A. T.
Mahan says:
"The settlement and growth of our Pa
ciac coast and the questions arising
about China, its future government and
its trade make it necessary to connect
our Atlantic and Gulf seaboard with the
Paciflo by a canal across the isthmus,
establishing thereby consecutive water
communication between the two, as well
as shoitening the access from our east
ern shores to Asia. The Isthmus and its
immediate surroundings thus become the
greatest of our external interests.
Scarcely secondary to them is the Car.
ibbeaxi sea, because all sea roads to the
isthmus run through it, and it contains
many strong positions, the acquisition cf
which by a formidable European state
would in war endanger our shipping,
mercantile and naval alike, passing be
tween our Atlantic ports and the Pa
cific by the canal.
"We must remember that other na
tions, and especially European, because
the most active, are interested likewise
In using that canal, and for the support
of their interests, in gaining positions.
To their doings we oppose the Monroe
doctrine. Therefore, if we intend to
make good the affirmations of the latter
we must be prepared to resist, forcibl>
if need be, any attempt to obtain ad
jacent territory or ports which may serve
as stations for a navy hostile to our
selves.
It is natural that European nations
should wish such positions; that Ger.
many, for instance, as has been lately
rumored, should wish the Danish islands,
St. Thomas, etc. Her right to buy them
is as gcod in international law as ours.
The Monroe doctrine depends upon legul
rights, not upon the moral rights of om
indispensable interests, and derives its
chief support from the fact that it is not
worth while to incur enmity pushed per
haps to the extent of war.
"Now the one preparation for war, In
a maritime region like the Caribbean, Is
a navy large enough to be effective
Ports are quite secondary. They ar*
necessary to a navy which needs a local
base of operations, but they are useless
without it. especially in the Caribbean,
because conditions there are so back
ward as to give no local resources. Po
sitions held there not only must be fortl
fled, but everything to support shipping
must be imported, and a steady stream
of supply maintained. This can only be
done by the navy, keeping the sea open,
which at the same time secured our other
merchant shipping.
"To do these things, which Is called
controlling the sea, the navy should
strictly be superior to any which can be
brought against It, but this extreme con
clusion is qualified by other circum
stances, suth as our nearness to the
Caribbean sea, our national power
through our great resources, the dangers
to which our possible opponents may bs
exposed In other quarters and from other
enemies. AYe cannot in the near future
expect to have a navy nearly Be large as
that which Grtat Britain must keep, but
It is easily within our means to rival that
of France or Germany, the only
European* states other than Great Brit
ain whose general interests might lead
them actively to dispute the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine.
