SPAIN’S REQUEST DENIED a WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO SEND GUNBOATS TO PHILIPPINES. e Abu inn Ido's Followers Completing Tbeir Conquest—lnsurgents to Be Represented at Paria. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.—By direction of the President an application on behalf of the Spanish government for permission to send additional gunboats and troops to the Philippines to protect Spanish interests and Spanish territory from the insurgents has been refused. The American government will not put anything in the way of Spanish opposition to the encroachments of Auginaldo so long as only the forces that are already at the command of Spain in the Philippines are employed for that purpose. Obviously it would be imprudent to allow Spain to send reinforcements into the Philippines until peace is formally and permanently established. Otherwise, in the event of a renewal of hostilities, these reinforcements would be used against the armies of the United States. The decision reached tj|day In no manner commits this government to the protection of Spanish interests as against the insurgents. It may be possible that later on the American commanders at Manila, will be ordered to put a stop to hostilities between the Spaniards and the insurgents pending the settlement of the questions which will be brought before the peace commissioners. It is now certain that Auginaldo will be represented before the Paris tribunal, and that he will make a strong plea for the recognition of his government. An Associated Press dispatch says: A report from Constructor Capps, at Manila, just received here, states that aside from the small gunboats that have been raised and p,yt Into the service of Admiral Dewey none of the Spanish ships of war engaged In the battle of Manila bay are likely to be raised. Mr. Capps was sent to the Asiatic station especially to assist in putting the squadron in tirst-ciass condition for any emergency. Already the flagship Olympia and the gunboat Raleigh have been (backed and cleaned at Hong-Kong. and the Boston arrived there last Saturday for the same purpose. Within the course of a few weeks at the outside Admiral Dewey’s squadron will have been thoroughly renovated and reinforced, as have been the Monterey and the Monadnock, and with other ironclads ■within easy reach the admiral will be in chape to meet any who may threaten to disturb his possession of Manila. ♦ FAVOR ANNEXATION. How Eighteen Out oC Twenty Filipinos Lenders Voted. MANILA, Sept. 6.—At a meeting yesterday of twenty leaders of the Filipinos of all sections called to discuss the policy of these Islands eighteen of them were emphatically in favor of outright annexation to the United States and two were in favor of a republic. The general native opinion is that it is best to adopt United Stales Consul Williams's suggestion and otter liberal inducements to the independence factions to co-operate and to reward the services rendered. The United States cruisers Olympia and Raleigh returned here from Hong-Kong to-day. Dewey Say. Insurgents Not Cruel. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Admiral Dewey was recently called upon to investigate reports that the Spanlsn prisoners taken by the insurgents in the Philippines were subjected to cruel treatment. A cable message was received from Admiral Dewey to-day •uying that the whole story probably originated from the fact that insurgents were unable to meet the wants of the sick Spanish prisoners owing to a lack of physicians and medical supplies. He said that he had been unable to find any proof of acts of cruelty on the part of the insurgents. Spain’s Request Probably Denied. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The Spanish government has requested of this government the privilege of sending a few small gunboats to certain of the Philippine islands where the insurgents are particularly active with a view to maintaining Spanish •overeignty there. The matter was discussed at to-day's Cabinet meeting. No announcement has been made as to the result of the consideration of the matter, but It is understood that the request will not be granted. Spain Willing to Sell. LONDON. Sept. 7.—The Vienna correspondent of the Times says: "According to ftfcs Polltische Correspondent it is believed

in Paris diplomatic circles that the United States has decided to annex the Philippine archipelago, and it is suggested there that Spain is 'now resigned to a surrender of the islands for a consideration.’ Perhaps this must be regarded as a feeler, but it takes the wrong view in supposing that there could be any bargain between the United States and Spain. Much will depend on the testimony of General Merritt and the other officers who are going to Paris. It is believed here that Admiral Dewey also will be called to Paris, and that the council of these officers will exercise a strong influence in favor of annexation.” SCHLEY AT SAN JUAN ADMIRAL AND PARTY RECEIVED WITH CHEERS AND A ‘*TIGER.” Major General Brooke Installed In General Macta*'* Residence— Money for the Troops* < 4 SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO. Sept. 6. —The United States transport Seneca, carrying Rear Admiral W. S. Schley and Brig. Gen. W. W. Gordon, of the Porto Rico military commission, arrived off the harbor last night, but did not enter until this morning. The United States protected cruiser New Orleans, which is lying in the harbor, fired an admiral’s salute of thirteen guns. The Spanish gunboat Isabel Segunda responded with thirteen guns, whereupon the New’ Orleans set the Spanish flag at the pe.ak and saluted it with thirteen guns. A boat immediately put off from the New Orleans to the Seneca and took Admiral Schley aboard. As he went over the steamer's s|de, her passengers, among whom he had become exceedingly popular, gave throe cheers and a “tiger.” One man, in his enthusiasm, yelled: ‘‘Hurrah for the next President.” Admiral Schley was given an enthusiastic reception on board the New Orleans. The Seneca brought also the postal commission, thirty nurses and six contract surgeons. ThA-e are thirteen postal clerks with the commission, for the various stations. The commissioners will make an investigation into the postal system of the island and report to Washington. F. Dumares, J. D. R. Luce and W. H. Lathrop, representing the Boston firm of De Ford & Cos., which has been appointed as the government fiscal agent in Porto Rico, will establish banks at San Juan and Ponce. They believe the United States government will eventually retire the Porto Rican currency, which the local banks are trying to maintain close to par at an arbitrary price. It is valued approximately at a million dollars. The Seneca Droceeds to Ponce this afternoon. Paymaster Arthur, who is on board, has a million dollars for the troops. When the admiral's pennant was raised on board the New Orleans, the marines paraded and the band played. Shortly before noon the Spanish brigadier. General Vallarino, made an official visit to Admiral Schley and was saluted with seven gunc. During the afternoon Admiral Schley and General Gordon came ashore and took up their quarters at the Hotel Ingleterra, where they will remain during the sessions of the military commission. They walked from the quky to the hotel, attracting much attention. The Spanish soldiers and sailors, who throng the city, seemed especially curious to see the man who destroyed Cervera’s fleet. The only guard for the party consisted of three policemen, but even these were unnescessary, as there was no hostile demonstration whatever. About 4 o'clock General Brooke arrived from his headquarters at Rio Piedras and the three commissioners, all of whom are ranked by Captain Macias, made a call of courtesy on him. The United States commissioners desire to dispatch their work as soon as possible, but they have no idea of the time it will require. Everything depends on the attitude of the Spanish commissioners. All appears clear sailing to General Brooke and his coi> leagues, but it is reported that the Spanish commissioners expect considerable compensation for the Spanish property to be relinquished. Their instructions were received yesterday by the steamer Ciudad de Cadiz. One of the commissioners is said to have remarked to Admiral Schley that he was anxious to leave for Spain and that, if he had his way, the proceedings would terminate so that he could go in a week. The French steamer Notre Dame ce Salut, which arrived yesterday from Havana and ran aground while entering the naroor, was pulled off to-day and, with a hundred sick and wounded, sailed for Santander, Spain. Colonel Pino, the local Spanish commander ;tt Rio Piedras. rode to the outskirts of the town and greeted General Brooke in behalf of Captain General Macias. Colonel Pino, after having been introduced to General Brooke's staff, escorted the party to General Macias's summer residence, which has been placed at the American commander’s disposal. The house is a pretentious dwelling, facing the plaza. Quarters for the staff of General Brooke will be found to-morrow in another house. General Brooke, who is outranked by General Macias, the latter being a lieutenant general, will call upon the captain general at the Palace, and pay him an official visit of courtesy. INDICTED AGAIN. Grand Jury Finds Another Bill Against Senator Kenney. WILMINGTON, Del.. Sept. 6.-The federal grand jury reconvened to-day and this afternoon returned another indictment against United States Senator Richard R. Kenney, already charged with aiding and abetting defaulting teller, William N. Boggs, to misapply the funds of the First National Bank of Dover. There is a previous indictment against Kenney and he will be summoned for retrial at the October term of the United states Circuit Court. The indictment returned to-day charges Senator Kenney with conspiring with Teller Boggs to misapply the bank’s funds. In addition to the checks specified In the old indictment there arc several additional checks mentioned In the new indictment aggregating $3,500. which checks Kenney la alleged to have Issued and which were paid out of the bank's funds by Boggs by an alleged fraudulent arrangement with Kenney and were not charged to Kenney e account until a later day.

THIRTY MEN KILLED COLLAPSE OF AN UNFINISHED BRIDGE NEAR ST. REGIS, CAN. - Death Come* to Workmen "Without a Moment'll XYnrnlng in the St. Lawrence Ri>er. HOGANSBURG, N. Y.. Sent. 6.—About noon to-day two south spans of the international bridge of the New York & Ottawa Railroad, now under construction across the St. Lawrence river, about three miles above St. Regis Indian village, fell without warning, with eighty men at work on the bridge, all being thrown into the river, sixty feet below. Nearly two score were picked up and taken *o Cornwall Hospital and forty are still missing. Late reports from Cornwall Hospital says thirty-three men have been taken out of the river and transferred to the hospital. Eighteen of them have since died. The latest information makes it probable that the death list will reach thirty. Following is a list of the dead made up at midnight: W. J. CURRY. Paterson, N. J. W. J. JACKSON, Columbus, O. LOL IS BAL’MER, Johnstown, Pa. R. L. DY3ART, Tyrone, Pa. J. D. CRAIG, 2221 Franklin street, Detroit, Mich. PAT MURPHY, Toronto. THOMAS BIRMINGHAM. DAN HUGHES, Cleveland. FRANK LEVIGNE, Ogdensburg, N. Y. W. SHERMAN, Cornwall, Out. W. SAUNDERS. Baltimore. JOHN CLAUSE, Caughnawega, N. Y. H. DAVIS, Pittsburg. CYRIL CAMPBELL, Cornwall, Ont. Wounded—John Wilson, Laden, Mass., leg broken; George Bloxon, Peekinsville, Vt., leg fractured; Bert Brant, Toronto, Ont., bruised; Peter O’Keefe, Corn way, leg and chest injured; Louis White, Cornwall, spine injured; P. Day, Cornwall, scalp wound; Mitchell Reeves, Cornwall, serious; Andrew Smith. Rochester, N. Y., serious; W. Thompson, Montreal, leg broken; John Fraser, Quebec, leg cut John Bero, Indian, Cornwall, internal injuries; P. Delevar.t. Elkhart, Wis., legs injured; D. Barton, Buffalo, legs crushed; M. Burke, Johnsville, slightly hurt; P. White, Cornwall, slightly hurt. As far as can be learned, eighty-seven men were on the pay roll, of whom eightytwo reported for work this morning. Os this list only thirty-eight have actually been accounted for. Among those thrown into the river was the foreman, Thomas F. Brady (or Bricerly), whose home is in Pottsville, Pa. He has not been accounted for up to a late hour to-night. Just before dark the dead body of an Indian laborer was picked up on the Cornwall side. There was only a slight bruise on his forehead. He probably was stunned by the fall and drowned. The bridge consists of three spans, of which two were completed and the third was nearly completed, when the south pier gave way at its foundation, causing both spans to fall into sixty feet of water, taking its load of human freight with it. The names of the killed and drowned cannot at present be ascertained, as they were mostly from Pennsylvania, excepting a few Indians from the St. Regis reservation. The scene of the accident is located about four miles from Hogansburg, above tlie St. Regis Indian reservation. The bridge that gave way was being built across the St. Lawrence river at the foot of Long Saulte rapids, near Reinhardt’s island. The water at this point is known to be as swift as in any part of the river. The immediate cause of the disaster and the giving way of the span of the bridge seems to have been from the washing away of one of the large piers. The pier in question was begun last fall and work was continued all winter and finished this summer. The contract work was in charge of Messrs. Sooy, Smith & Cos., who are well knowm as extensive and careful contractors in their line and known to have had instructions from the railroad company to build for “permanency.” The pier had been accepted % as perfectely reliable and safe. It would\ seem from this that the swiftness of the current was underestimated. An Eyewitness'* Story. CORNWALL, Out., Sept. 6.—An eyewitness of the fall of the New York & Ottawa Railroad bridge says he was sitting on the bank of the river, watching the workmen above him, when, without warning, there came a fearful crash. Two spans of the bridge collapsed, the immense mass of timber and iron dropped and an agonizing shriek of the men who were being crushed in the wreck was heard. Then he saw bodies coming to the surface and the work of rescue began. This was helplessly inadequate. there being oniy a few boats in the vicinty and very few men who would undertake to swim out into the turbulent waters. Many who might have been saved were drowned before help could reach them. Piteous, appealing faces sank beneath the waters before the eyes of onlookers. Mangled bodies came to the surface for a moment and then passed out of sight. Even those who were got to land alive were in such condition that many died on the way to the hospital. Some had their backs broken, others both legs, w'hile others were crushed by the heavy irons. Among those who are missing are Cyrl Campbell, William Jackson, Craig and W. Cubby. About fifty of the men employed on the span were Americans who came here to work for the Phoenix Bridge Company. The remainder were mostly Indians, who acted as assistants. Every man on the division w'ent down with the wreck. Many of those who escaped climbed up the iron work which still rested on piers at either end. The scene around the Hotel Dieu, where the wounded and dying were taken, is heartrending. The wives and relatives of missing men are anxiously inquiring after their loved ones. THE CONDUCTOR ARRESTED. Thought to Be Responsible for the Lohoe* Trolley Car Horror. TROY, N. Y., Sept. 6.—Walter Congdon, conductor of the ill-fated trolley car in last night’s wreck, has been arrested for manslaughter and is confined in the Cohoes Jail. He is charged with having signaled his car to proceed over the tracks of the Delaware & Hudson when the express train was in sight. Congdon will make no statement. The fact that he is uninjured is taken as presumptive evidence that he was not on the car at the time of the accident. There are fifteen persons dead as a resuit of the collision between a locomotive and a trolley car at a grade crossing between Langsingburg and Cohoes last evening. The man first named In the following list of dead whs a resident of Lansingburg; all the others live in Cohoes: James Temple, Nellie Sweet. Edward Rainey, Mra. John Craven, Mia* KJttie Craven,

John Timmons, Joßeph Senez, Archie Champoux. Mrs. Eliza McElroy, Miss Ellen Shaw. Mrs. Alice Sutcliffe, Mrs. Jane Taylor. William Dodge and Miss Emma Derbyshire. The following are probably fatally injured: Mrs. James Temple, Miss Lizzie Melroy, Mrs. John Timmons and Miss McAvoy. ONLY 6,000 REMAIN. Spanish Prisoners Huve Nearly All Left for Home. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 6.—The United States transport Vigilancia sailed today for Montauk Point with 140 convalescents, representing various regiments. Only forty-five sick men of the Fifth ArmyCorps now remain. Eleven of these are down with yellow fever at Stboney. The others are In the city hospitals, suffering from typhoid, malaria, calentura and dysentery. Arrangements are being made to send them home as soon as they are able to move. Probably- they will go on to Seguranca toward the end of the w r eek. Major Thrift and Major Folger, who recently recovered from mild attacks of yellow- iever, sailed on the Vigilancia, as did also Dr. Eugene Wasden. of the Marine Hospital Service. Dr Wasden came here to test the Sanarelli serum on yellow fever cases, but had no chance to make experiments, as the yellow- fever cases developed here are not pronounced enough. The death rate in the city has greatly- decreased. There is no yellow- fever in Santiago and very little typhoid fever. General Wood believes he will be able to ward off the usual September epidemic. Three thousand Spanish prisoners have been shipped from Guantanamo this week, two thousand from Leon and one thousand from Ignacio. Only about six thousand are left and these will be rapidly shipped to Spain. THE EDITORS AT DENVER PRESIDENT HOLTMAN, OF BRAZIL, IND., MAKES HIS ADDRESS. Many National Societies Holding Their Annual Conventions This XVeek. ♦ DENVER, Col,, Sept. 6.—Over three hundred delegates representing newspapers were present at the opening session of the annual convention of the National Editorial Association in the Lyceum Theater to-day. Louis Holtman, of Brazil, Ind., president of the association, occupied the chair and delivered his annual address, showing that the association is in a most flourishing condition. President Holtman referred to the growing sensationalism among newspapers and said while it was wholly impracticable in this country- to maintain a censorship of the press, yet some check was needed on ‘‘the publication of grew-some details of the. flagrant and appalling crimes which disgrace our civilization.” President Floltman also discussed the recent newspaper strike in Chicago and pointed out the value of the press in the public eye as exemplified at that time. Papers on subjects of interest to publishers and editors w-ere read by- Warren Wilson, of Los Angeles, Cal.; S. C. McFarland, of Marshalltown, Ja.; H. A. Perkins, of Manhattan, Kan., and P. V. Collins, of Minneapolis. Ed Stevens, ?)f Columbia, Mo., reporting on the proposition for a tour to tho Paris exposition in 1900 recommended a tour of England, Scotland and France next year instead, as it will be impossible for many editors to leave the country in the presidential year. At the afternoon session W. E. Pabor, of Pabor Lake, Fla., read the annual poem. This was followed by the following papers: “Business Independence,” Charles Starr, Gazette, East Orange. N. J. “Women as Business Managers,' Miss Delia E. Adams, News, Sidney, O.; “Best Method to Secure Subscriptions in Advance,” Marion H. Brewington, News, Salisbury, Met.; "Advance Payment of Subscriptions—an Experience,” J. R. T. Wiley, Herald Elizabeth, Pa.; “Down Below,” L. J. Brooks, Whig, Jackson, Tenn. A numher of receptions w-ere given for the benefit of the editors this evening. Letter Carrier* in Sowsion. TOLEDO, 0., Sept. 6.—When the convention of the National Letter earners’ Association was called to order to-day 550 out of 680 delegates were present. The credentials committee was still laboring with the list and the convention's time was occupied with an address on "Municipal Reform” by Mayor S. M. Jones, of Toledo. President Paisons is a candidate for re-election and the constitution will probably be amended so that he may be re-elected, thougn he has recently left the postal service. At the afternoon session the Wilkesbarre, Pa., delegation sent to the presiding officer a. gavel made of anthracite coal. The delegates listened to an address by Mr. George A. King, of Washington, who recently succeeded in getting claims allowed for carriers who worked extra hours. Greetings were sent to the railway mail clerks' convention and postolHce clerks’ convention. This evening the delegates and their ladies were tendered a reception and ball at Pythian Castle. Men of the Railway Mail Service. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 6.—The twentythird annual convention of the United States Railway Mail Service Mutual Benefit Association met in the ballroom of the Kimball House to-day. Eleven divisions of the association were represented. After prayer the convention was called to order by President Jonn M. Butler, of Lincoln, Neb. Governor Atkins welcomed the delegates to the State and Mayor Collier extended the welcome to Atlanta, the-address being responded to by President Butier. A committee on credentials consisting of a member from each division was appointed. At the afternoon session President Butler read his annual report. In addition to reciting the work done during the year the report gave a synopsis of what had been accomplished by the association during the time Mr. Butler has been in office. Several other reports were submitted and discussed. The election of officers will occur Thursday. Southern Grain Dealer*. FORT WORTH, Tex.. Sept. 6,-The Grain Dealers’ Association of Texas met h->re today, ratified the proceedings of a previous meeting and completed permanent organization by adopting constitution and bylaws.

WHITE WILL NOT ACT DECLINES APPOINTMENT AS ONE OF THE PEACE COMMISSIONERS. Senator George Gray, of Delavrnre, to Have the Place—The Oregon to Be Sent Back to the Pacific. WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.—lt may be said positively now that Mr. Justice White, of the United States Supreme Court, has finally declined the tender of a membership on the Spanish-American peace commission. The President has been aware for several days of the decision of Justice White, but for various reasons did not make it public. Asa matter of fact, no official announcemextt was ever made of his selection as a member of the commission, although it was semi-ofticially understood that the tender of a place on the commission had been made him. In the same way it is now understood that the vacant place on the commission has been offered to Senator George Gray, of Delaware, one of the leading Democratic members of the Senate and a member of the minority on the foreign relations committee. Senator Gray had a long conference with the President to-day, the conference relating partly to the work of the Canadian commission, of which Senator Gray is a member, and partly to the peace commission. While the senator has not definitely indicated his acceptance of the peace commissionership, it is regarded as not unlikely that he will finally be the fifth member of the commission. * SECRETARY DAY NO MOKE. Will Return to Stute Depnrtment Only to Say Good-Bye. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Secretary Day probably will not resume the discharge of the functions of secretary of state and it may bo assumed that his connection with the department, save in the capacity of a peace commissioner, terminated when he left Washington for Ohio recently. Upon his return to Washington it is expected that he will come to the State Department for the purpose of bidding farewell ;o the employes. There is no longer a reasonable doubt that Justice White has decided to decline the appointment of peace commissioner and that he refrains from making public announcement of his purpose at the request of the President. It is intimated that a very early announcement may be looked for as there is reason to believe that the President already has made a tender of the commissicnership and is now awaiting acceptance before making public that fact. Arrangements for the departure of the commission on the 17th inst. from New' York are being pushed. Acting Secretary Moore, with the assistance of Mr. McArthur, is giving a great deal of time to the collection of documents and charts needed by the American commissioners in their work, and the subjects likely to arise in connection with the final peace negotiations are receiving the closest study at the hands of these gentlemen. Especially is this true of the Philippines, which promise to be the bone of contention before the commission, and consequently acting Secretary Moore is devoting the best share of his attention to that phase of the subject. To establish a clear understanding of the scope of the commission’s powers it is stated on authority that this body is not in any sense judicial, but purely diplomatic. The proceedure will not be of a character where numerical voting strength will determine any proposition, but the commissioners on each side are expected to act as separate* units and should differences arise they must be settled by the ordinary course of diplomatic negotiation. * THE OREGON TO BE SENT BACK. Will Probably Be Accompanied by Another Ironclad. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Acting Secretary Allen said to-day that the Navy Department had not determined finally on sending reinforcements to the Pacific station. As this station, formerly well supplied with ships, had, since the withdrawal of the Oregon and the dispatch of other vessels of less formidable character, been left with an almost insignificant force, it is to be expected that the Navy Department w ill take steps to restore the station to its original importance at once, now that hostilities are believed to be ended. Because of the vast importance of the commercial intrests on the Pacific slope requiring na\al protection, it has been the policy of the department to maintain several effective and powerful ironclads there, particularly in view of the fact that the coast defenses have not yet been developed to a point commensurate with the value of the interest to be protected. Thus, the opening of the war saw no less than, three such ships In San Francisco harbor, the Oregon, the Monterey and the Monadnock, sufficient w T ith the aid of the coast defenses to amply protect San Francisco. All of these vessels have been sent elsewhere, the Oregon to the North Atlantic station and the two big monitors to reinforce Dewey. Therefore, it is probable that, with the opportunity now opening, the Navy Department will replace these vessels on the Pacific coast. It is not deemed safe nor prudent at this time to withdraw the Monterey and the Monadnock from the Asiatic station. The case is different. however, with the Oregon. Her withdrawal and return to the Pacific coast would leave several effective ironclads on the Atlantic station, and, in view of the approaching completion of the powerful battle ships Kearsarge and Kentucky it is possible that even another ironclad may be spared from the Atlantic fleet to accompany the Oregon. It is scarcely expected that Captain Barker, the present commander of the Oregon, would retain the command in the event that the ship is sent back to the Pacific. He has served the full period of time which the unwritten law requires of an officer of his grade and it is probable that he would prefer shore duty while awaiting his promotion to the next grade. Historic Document in Demand. WASHINGTON, Sept. C.—When the government entered into a contract for the transportation of the Spanish troops surrendered at Santiago there was prepared for the various ships to be engaged in that duty a safe conduct. This document was prepared in the War Department and signed by the President and countersigned by Secretary Day as secretary ol' state. Twelve of these instruments were prepared and signed, but were not used, as the safe conduct was granted by cable message tnrough the State Department. There has been quite a desire to possess copies of the conduct as it is believed they will in time become historical. but all have been distributed. Documents of an official character with the autograph of the President and the secretary of state, together with the great seal of the United States, are not very easy to obtain, hence tne desire for these copies by those who knew 1 of their existence. McKinley Will Attend Pence Jubilee. WASHINGTON, Sept. K.—President McKinley and as many members of his Cabinet as can do so will attend some portion of the peace Jubilee which begins at the Omaha exjiosition Oct. 10. The President so informed a delegation of Nebraskans who called at the White House to-day and presented to him u handsomely engrossed invitation to attend. Only pressing public business will interfere with this programme, but at this time the President sees no reason why he should not go. The delegation consisted of Senators Allen and Thurston. Gen. John C. Cowin. J. L. Webster W J Broach. Invitations will also he extended to members of the United States Supreme Court and the leading officials of the army

WASHINGTON, Sept. fi.-The not gold reserve in the treasury showed another large increase to-day, due presumably to the payments for the new war bonds. The reserve to-day is $223,832,887, an increase of nearly $3,000,000 since Saturday. BOMBARDMENT. (■Concluded from First Pnge.) was safe to do so and was making his way all alone down a narrow alley leading to the prison, when he was attacked and killed The finest display of heroism on the Dervish side was made by the Khalifa’s brother, Yantub, with his adherents, who, utterl} regardless of our terrific fire, made a superb attempt to retrieve the day’s fortunes. Though far from asking quarter, they simply hugged death. Yantub died in the presence of his old enemy, Slatin Pasha.” Os Omdurman Slatin Pasha writes in his book, ‘‘Fire and Sword in the Sudan:” ’’The town of Omdurman is built for the most jiart on fairlj level ground, but here and there are a few small hills. The soil consists mostly of hard red clay, and is very strong, with occasional patches of sand. For his own convenience the Khalifa has driven large straight roads through various parts of the town, and to make way for these numbers of houses were leveled, but no compensation was given to their owners. Just north of the arsenal lies a building in which is stored the flags of all the emirs residing in Omdurman, and beside it is a semi-circular building, about twenty feel high, provided with stairs, where the Khalifa's war drums are kept. A little further to the east Is the cartridge and small arms manufactory. On the north side of the city and close to the river is the Belt el Mai (treasury), whish is an enormous walled-in inclosure, subdivided into a variety of courts, in which are stored goods coming from all parts of the Sudan and from Egypt, as well as grain stores and slave courts. A little to the south of the Belt el Mai lies the public slave market, and in close proximity the Belt el Mai of the Mulazemin (body guard) has been erected. "From north to south the new city covers a length of about six English miles. The southern extremity lies almost exactly opposite the southwest end of Khartum: and it is in no place over three miles in width. At first *t consisted of thousands and thousands of straw huts; and the mosque was originally an oblong structure surrounded by a mud wall 460 yards long a,nd 350 yards wide; but this place has been replaced by one made of burnt brick, and then whitewashed over. After this the Khalifa began building brick houses for himeelf and his brother, then for his relatives, while the emirs and most of the wealthy people followed his example.” * ANGLO-RUSSIAN AFFAIRS. Reported that the Two Nation* Have Come to an Agreement. LONDON, Sept. 6.—The Daily Mail says, this morning: “We learn from good authority that an Anglo-Russian understanding is practically complete. Great Britain recognizes Russia in Manchuria, Russia undertaking to satisfy Great Britain in Chinese railway matters and to respect England’s sphere in the valley of the Yang-Tse-Kiang."

Thip morning they addressed a letter following the tenor of the President’s instructions to Senor Rafael Montero, secretary of finance in the colonies, asking for a prompt reply.
