HUNDREDS ARE SLAIN

AMERICANS KILL MOROS ANO SEIZE CHIEF FORT. i Fierce Hand to Hand Battle in the Philippines—United States Supreme in Mindanao After the Loss of a Few Men—Bitches Full of Dead. Col. Frank D. Baldwin, with the Twenty-fifth battery and seven companies of the Twenty-seventh infantry, attacked and captured the Moro fort at Bayan, Island of Mindanao, P. 1., after a desperate engagement in which cne American officer and seven enlisted men were killed and four officers and thirtyseven men wounded. The Moros lost more than 200 killed, and at the end of the battle the survivors, eighty-four in number, surrendered unconditionally. Of the Americans Lieut. Bovars was killed and Capt. Moore, Lieut. Jossman and Surgeon Major Porter <vere wounded. The principal Moro leaders were killed, including the Sultan of Bayan, Raja Muda of Bayan, the Sultan of Panda Matan, and many of the leading dattos. The capture of the fort and the surrender of the surviving defenders is a severe blow to the Moro rebellion against American sovereignty in the most savage part of Mindanao, although the military authorities realize that the co-operation of the Sultans and chiefs is general when the flag of the prophet is raised in a jehad or holy war. Battle Is Hand to Hand. The battle was a hand-to-hand one. The u fort was defended by fully 300 men, and was surrounded by four trenches. The attack began soon after daybreak. The American force, consisting of 470 men, with four mountain guns, had slept all night in a pouring rain, without blankets, and were drenched to the skin long before the fight began. The mountain guns fired 120 rounds at a range of 1,400 yards, but the Moro fortifications withstood the bombardment, and Coi. Baldwin ordered the infantrymen to take the fort by storm. The Americans were compelled to work their way forward through entanglements of grasses and took the successive trenches after haml-to-hand encounters. The Moros fought furiously. After exhausting their ammunition they resorted to krisses, barongs and kampilans. Several wounded Moros who were hidden in the high grass attacked the members of the hospital corps, who were seeking the wounded to succor them. Brig. Gen. Davis, in his report to Maj. Gen. Chaffee, characterizes the engagement as one of the most gallant performances of American arms in the Philippines. He says he has never seen nor heard of anything exceeding the grit of the American troops, who fought their way over one trench after another. When the engagement was ended the trenches were filled with Moro dead. When the Moros had lost their leaders the survivors raised the white flag and eighty-four of them maruhed out of the fort and surrendered.

ST. LOUIS FAIR POSTPONED.

President Francis Issues Official Notice of Change to 1904. An official statement has b'en given out by President David R. Francis of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition that

the big fair is to be postponed until 1904. A number of reasons are given in his statement as to why this action is deemed expedient. One is that foreign governments deemed the time insufficient for them to prepare their exhibits. and therefore would not take part in the fair.

D. R- FRANCIS.

Another was that the Philippine exhibit could not be made ready for 1903, and still another was that the architect of the government buildings said that he could not have the buildings ready on time. Fifty-one directors of the fair signed a joint telegram to President Thomas H. Carter of the national commission, assenting to the postponement of the exposition to May 1. 1904. This action was taken after the executive committee had authorized President Francls to draft the postponement dispatch. In conformity with the action taken by the exposition officials at St. Ixiuis an amendment was offered in Congress Friday to the sundry civil appropriation bill providiirg that the dedication ceremonies shall be held not later than April 30, 1903 and that the exposition shall be opened to the public on or before May I, 1904, and be closed Dec. 1. 1904. The amendment continues the existence of the exposition committee, which is composed of former Congressmen, until Jan. 1, 1900.

A GREAT SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

John W. Gates, the Steel Magnate, Has a New Ambition. The latest ambition of John W. Gates, the steel magnate and capitalist, is to build for the Southern States a great railway system, that will equal the Immense traffic lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The recent purchase in New York, of Louisville and Nashville stock, is part of a plan of a trunk and branch system of railway lines that will tap every part of the Southern States. To complete this scheme the Gates syndicate is now endeavoring to get a controlling interest in the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road, as the Chicago end of the proposed system. The Louisville and Nashville will be the connecting link with ths Southern Railway. "We have great faith in the industries of the South,” says Mr. Gates. "The day is not far distant when Chicago must be brought in direct communication with {he industrial fields by a system of railroads under one management. The logical Chicago connection with the houisville and Nashtille is the Eastern Illinois road. These two roads and th* Southern Railway under one control, would mean an immense amount Of new business for Chicago." Three persons were killed iu a windstorm at McKeesport, Pa.

CORRIGAN’S LIFE ENDS.

Archbishop of New York Suddenly Sue- , cumbs to Pnenmonia. Archbishop Corrigan died at the archiepiscopal residence in New York City Monday night. He was considered out of danger when the collapse came at 10:30 o’clock, and ni< death came as a great shock to his relatives and the attendants at his bedside.

Dr. Starrante, Italian secretary to the archbishop, and Father Curley, his English secretary, and a dozen priests of the archdiocese. Archbishop Corrigan’s illness began .as the result of an accident last February, when he fell between beams in the new Kelly Memorial Chapel, at the rear of the cathedral. Before he recovered pnennionia developed, but it was thought the crisis was past. The immediate cause of death was heart trouble. Michael Augustine Corrigan was born In Newark, N. J., Aug. 12, 1840. He was graduated at St. Mary's, Emmettsbttrg, Md., in 1859, and soon after entered the North American College at Rome to study for the priesthood. He was ordained by Cardinal Patvizi in the Laferan Basilica on Sept. 19, 1803, a year before the close of the theological studies. In 1804 the degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon him. When, he re- . turned to his native land a few months later Archbishop James Roosevelt Bayley, then bishop of Newark, appointed him professor of dogmatic theology and sacred scripture at Seton Hall College, and in 1808 he succeeded Bishop McQuaid as president. In March, 1873, he was made bishop of Newark. In September. 1.880.

MRS. SOFFEL PLEADS GUILTY.

Woman Who Aided Biddle Brothers Appears in Court. Mrs. Kate Soffel, wife of Warden Soffel of the Allegheny County jail, who figured in the sensational escape and re-

capture of the Biddle brothers list January, was called into court at Pittsburg Monday morning and entered a plea of guilty to the charge of aiding and abetting the escape of prisoners. The maximum penalty is two years in the penitentiary. The crime of Mrs.

MRS. SOFFEL.

Soffel was one of the most startling ever committed in Pennsylvania. She was the wife of Warden Peter K. Soffel of the county jail at Pittsburg, and apparently a happy mother of an interesting family. Two murderers, Edward and John Biddle, were confined in the prison. They were under sentence of death, and Mrs. Soffel took compassion upon them. She soon became infatuated with Edward Biddle, and, giving her husband a sleeping potion, assisted the two outlaws to escape. Mrs. Soffel flew with the murderers, who, under cover of darkness, started for the Canadian border in a sleigh. They were overtaken in Prospect road, near Butler, Pa., by detectives from Pittsburg. Several shots were exchanged and both Biddles were wounded by bullets from the rifles of their pursuers. Mrs. Soffel had a weapon and fought with the murderers with whom she had cast her lot. When they saw that the fight was hopeless the Biddles and Mrs. Soffel shot themselves. Mrs. Soffel recovered. Her husband resigned his position and retired from the scene of his wife’s crime.

WATERSPOUT KILLS TWELVE.

Washita River, in Oklahoma, Rises Ten Feet. At Foss, on the Washita river, in southern Oklahoma, a cloudburst Monday night drowned twelve people and washed away fifty houses. The storm struck Foss after midnight and water fell in such volume that many could not escape. The Washita river rose ten feet in thirty minutes.

In 1870 he took editorial charge of the Oyerland Monthly,- and under his management, and by reason of his own contributions the periodical was a great success.

Other stories and poems followed which added to the author's reputation.

A Unique Industrial Scheme.

A unique industrial scheme is soon to be undertaken at Kansas City by Walter Vrooman, founder of Ruskin College in England. He has purchased land near the city where he will build a model village. It will have a dozen factories and all the other features of village life, such as churches, school houses, dwellings, stores and places of amusement, all of which will be built at Mr. Vrooman’s expense. In Kansas City he will open twenty-five co-operative stores, where the articles produced in the factories of the model village will be sold. The students of industrial conditions will watch with interest the development of this the greatest co-operative system in the world.

PASSING OF SAMPSON.

REAR ADMIRAL DIES AT NATIONAL CAPITAL. Long Illness Is Ended—Demise of the Naval Commander Follows Breakdown Which Made Him Invalid for Months—His Career Briefly Sketched. William T. Ss tnpson, rear admiral, U. S. N., retired, died at his home in Washington, D. C., at 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. A cerebral hemorrhage was the immediate cause of death. The rear admiral had been in a semiconscious state for several days and Tuesday forenoon suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage. At the bedside when the rear admiral breathed his last were Mrs. Sampson, Mrs. Cluverius, the rear admiral’s married daughter; two young sons, Ralph and Harold Sampson; Dr. Dixon, the attending physician, and nurses and attendants. William T. Sampson was born in Palmyra, Wayne County, N. Y., on Feb. 9, 1840. Up to the time of the outbreak of the war with Spain he was comparatively unknown outside of naval circles, and up in Wayne County, where he visit-

REAR ADMIRAL SAMPSON.

ed often, everybody knew him as "Billy” Sampson. His father was a day laborer, and as boy and youth William often accompanied his father to places near the Sampson home, where he helped at “odd jobs.” Young Sampson found time to attend school in an irregular way, and showed so much ambition that he attracted the attention of William H. Southwick of Palmyra, who spoke of him to E. B. Morgan. at that time representing the district in Congress, and the lad received through Morgan the appointment as naval eadet at Annapolis. Sampson first won fame and recognition on the old Patapsco, which formed part of the blockading squadron at Charleston in 1864. The harbor had been mined by the Confederates, and when the blockading admiral decided to enter the harbor he detailed the Patapsco to go ahead and clear the way for him. Brave Deed at Charleston. Sampson was executive officer of the ironclad, and as the vessel steamed into the harbor he stood on- the bridge in the most exposed position on the boat. He was a fascinating mark for the sharpshooters. As the little boat enter ed the harbor bullets from their rifles rained upon it. Sampson’s men fell all around him, struck by the leaden missiles. He ordered them below and faced the fire alone. Slowly and carefully the mine-destroyer went ahead on its hunt. Suddenly there was an ominous roar, columns of water were thrown into the air, and "mingled with the liquid streams were the guns, turrets and sheathing of the gallant boat. Of the crew twentyfive were saved by other boats from the fleet; seventy-five sank in Charleston harbor. Sampson was blown 100 feet In the air and fell hi the water many feet from where his boat went down. In Charge of Naval Academy. After the war Sampson was detailed for service at the Naval Academy and remained there from 1868 to 1871 as head of the department of chemistry and physics. Then for several years he was attached to the Congress, but his first command was the Alert, to which he was assigned with the rank of commander in 1874. From 1876 to 1878 he was again at the Naval Academy, and ten years later he became the superintendent of the institution and maintained a high state of discipline He was promoted to captain in 1889, and the next year he was placed in command of the cruiser Sau Francisco. In July, 1892, he was inspector of ordnance at the navy yard, Washington, and the next year he was made chief of the bureau of ordnance. He held that position until the lowa was ready to be commissioned, when be was detailed to that battleship. Service in Spanish War. After the breaking out of the Spanish war Sampson was given command of the North Atlantic station, and he blockaded the ports of Cuba with his squadron, being joined in this work by the flying squadron tinder Rear Admiral Schley, who was next in command to him. At the time of the tight off Santiago, on July 3, 1898, Sampson, with bis flagship, had started for Siboney, giving the signal "Disregard the movements of the flagship," but returned after the battle was over. The details of the controversy in regard to the credit for the destruction of the Spanish warships are fresh in the publie mind. Rear Admiral Sampson was married twice. His first wife was Margaret Aidrich, a niece of Pliny T. Sexton of Palmyra. N. Y. They wore married in 1862 and had five daughters, four of whom are living. Rear Admiral Sampson's second wife was Miss Elizabeth Burling. By this marriage Rear Admiral Sampson had two sous. Ralph and Harold.

Arthur Moyer, a 19-year-old Lowell lad, has confessed that he killed his employer, Douglas Craft, a farmer, on April 18. The tragedy, which created a great sensation, was heightened by Moyer's former assertions that Craft had shot at him and then committed suicide. Craft lay in the barn where he was shot for twelve hours without his wife coming near him. Owing to the fact that Craft’s clothes were not powder burned, Moyer was arrested, and to his attorney and the sheriff at Kankakee made a full confession.

Hill. The firm was established in 1851. Play with Rifle Is Fatal. Aaron C. Black, who lives near Long Cliff, was shot and killed by his best friend, Samuel Probst.
