The war in the Philippines is taking on the shape of a bitter and persistent guerrilla conflict which may last for years, even with the great American army concentrated in Luzon. A few days ago on that island the soldiers guarding a pack train with rations were driven off by a guerrilla band and the train, and supplies captured. Two Americans were killed and five wounded.

In the more southern island of Necros a revolt has taken place, inspired by the provisional government set up by the Americans, in which Lieutenant Ledyard and some private soldiers were killed and others wounded. The officials and some prominent Filipinos were arrested and are in jail on a charge of plotting treason. This is not an unfamiliar story. A number of the local governments set up by General Otis have had the same experience. The "good amigos" turned out to be agents of Aguinaldo.

We suppose that when caught they will be tried for treason. But does it not sound queer, treason trials In the far East, under the authority of the United States?

Hoar, of Massachusetts, who is familiar with the questions involved and is able to consider the subject from a constitutional standpoint and without sectional prejudice. The remedy, if any exists outside the progress of the times, must be found in the States, and the recent message of Governor Longlno, of Mississippi, indicates that a sentiment is growing in the South to stamp out. lynch law. On this point Governor Longlno speaks out with a courage and determination which calls for the admiration of everyone. After reciting that the appeal to Judge Lynch, originally made only for criminal assault, had been extended to homicide, house burning and even lesser accusations and offenses, and that the number of lynchings had increased in Mississippi, he remarks after citing the ways crime can be punished under the laws of the State: There remains no justifiable reason why those who are guilty of crime, great or small, should not be properly punished by the courts of the country.

1 go further ami confidently predict that such would be done if the people properly appreciated the sacred importance of maintaining the law and the supremacy of the courts. The honor of Mississippi ami the good name of her Christian civilization demand the suppression of mob violence, which, tn my Judgment, Is the most demoralizing, brutalizing and ruinous spcies of lawlessness known to any brave and free people. As for a remedy. Governor Longlno recommends a law giving to the family of anyone who may be hereafter lynched a right to recover In the chancery court a fixed sum In damages against the county where the lynching occurred. "Let the amount of sail damages," he says, "be made sufficiently large by the law to engage public opposition to the payment thereof, and let the right of recovery be predicated alone upon the fact that the lynching was done In the county where the recovery Is sought." This may not at once end the barbarism, but It Is a step in the right direction.

a very thin, pale man, with the quietest manner imaginable, is not one ideal of a dashing Irishman, but at the same time he is a delightful talker, with a witty tongue, and has a charming manner. His old nickname was "Monty Corry," and when a young fellow he was brim full of fun and frolic. As may be supposed, he was a much-desired guest at country houses, where he invariably proved "the life of the party." It was under these; circumstances that he first attracted the attention of the late Lord I leacoiislield. Disraeli was never happy when one of a house party iti the country. Jlis wife used to declare that, feeling bored and not "in touch" with the rest of the company, be used to sulk and eat too much Instead of talking at dinner.

This made him inclined to be bilious, and i-li" would be under the neccssty of taking him home to llughenden to receiver. One evening, when In one of these low-spirited moods, be beard shouts and peals of delighted laughter proceeding from a room near that in which he was sitting and, on investigating found that this state of liveliness so unlike what he himself was feeling-was produced by the singing, dancing and infectious good spirits of the good-humored young Irishman, "Monty Corry." Lord Iteaconsfield crept into the room and hung on the fringe of the circle of laughing guests, and very soon an unwilling smile was seen to creep ar. und bis mouth, the aid smile ending in hearty burst of laughter, which effectually scattered the last shadow of the weight of depression which bail been smothering him. Soon after this pleasant Introduction he made "Monty Corry" bis secretary, and they worked well together for the remainder of Disraeli's life.

Incidental to the religious questions there are vast property Interests that enter Into the business and industrial life of the people The Filipino republicans or followers of Aguinaldo are opposed to the continued possession of great property rights by the religious orders. Their position is much the same as that adopted by the republicans of Mexico.

Italy and some of the South American states in regard to church property under ancient grants. The Filipinos believe these possessions should be sequestrated to the etate, and by sale or lease divided among: the people.

And of this amount 60 per cent found a market In England and its dependencies. The United Kingdom alone took the handsome average of $362,400,000. or 53 per cent. Germany came next and took 13 per cent; France followed with 9 per cent. The other nations took less than 4 per cent each.

Asia and Africa took only a small proportion, but their demand is increasing. There is no end to the development, out of the wonderful resources of this continent, of the most earnest competition In the metal trades. "We have made reference to the Iron ore mines in Newfoundland and the erection of a vast plant at Cape Breton to make iron in the near future in phenomenal quantities. Boston parties are financing the works. The advantage of the location is that It has the raw material of all sorts near at hand in unlimited abundance, much in the same way as at Birmingham, Ala.

The conditions are summed up by the New York "Commercial" as follows: They own the coal mines where the cheapest coal in the world is obtained. This they will convert on the ground Into coke for the blast furnaces. They own the limestone deposits which abound In the neighborhood, and will thus obtain the fluxes needed at very low cost. They own the hematite ore mine In Newfoundland, which is of the ceive ore nirectly into their holds by finest quality, and is mined at very low cost, being found upon the surface of the ground on a high bluff, with deep water beneath, where ships may re-gravity. Finally, they will earn a large bounty from the Canadian government for every ton of pig iron that they make, and in addition will earn another large bounty for every tone of steel made from this pig iron.

The nearness of the place to Europe Is counted upon to favor sales in that quarter. The Canadian bounty of $5 a ton Is In itself a big profit.

1900 styles now showing Last evening's cotillion at the Pittsburg club, the closing one in the Monday night series, drew the usual large attendance of subscribers and Iheir friends. Th cotillion was by several little dinner parties, among them Mr. and Mrs. William Ree.ss Proctor's, given at their home in Ridge avenue for 12 of the young debutante set, with Miss Martha ID. Dul-zell as the guest of honor, and Mr.

ami Mrs. Henry R. Rea's, which was for 13 of the young dancing set, both parties with their hosts and hostesses coming Jater to the cotillion. The ball room presented a marked contrast last evening in its simple yet artistic decorations of green, to the fairy like scenes of a few evenings ago. when the same set danced at Mr.

Darlington's ball. The decorations last evening were Quite effective, notwithstanding their simplicity. Several ropes of laurel were carried from pillar to pillar, forming a waving, undulating mass of green that contrasted prettily with the white colonades and deep reel mural tones of the room. The stage was filled In with palms and tropical plants, behind which the American military band was stationed to ftrt--nish music for the cotillion. Tulips were added to the smilax which festooned the dressing room, and tho foyer was decorated with palms and smilax.

Three cotillion figures were danced with the regular leaders. Frank Scolt Willock. Alan De Wees Wood and William C. Robinson. There is no talk this year of the extra subscription dance which has other seasons followed the cotillions.

This may be due to some extent to the immediate departure of so many of the cotillion set for Kttrope and the South, and also to the fact there has been a great of dancing, and everyone appears quite resigned that the season is reaching an end. Guests were received last evening by the patronesses, including Mrs. Harry Darlington. Mrs. Alexander Iumghlin.

There was but one attendant, Miss Myra Frank, a sister of the bride, who served as maid of honor. Mr. Wertheimer had neither best man nor ushers. The bride; wore a wedding gown of white renaissance lace over white satin, with a bridal veil, and she carried a shower of lines of the valley. The maid of honor wore white crepe de chine and carried a bouquet of bride's roses.

The decorations were all tn green and white. The mantels were banked with maidenhair ferns and the doorways festooned with smilax, the whole being interspersed vith white roses. A wedding supper followed the ceremony. Among the friends from a distance in attendance were Mr. and Mrs.

Louis Blitz, of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. I. Rosenfeld and Miss Sarah Heidelberg, of New York. The young couple left later in the evening for an extended honeymoon tour through the West and South.

The bride is a graduate of Brvn Mawr college and popular among the Concordia club set. Mr. Wertheimer is a son of Isaac Wertheimer, of Fayette street. Pretly Farewell Luncheon. Mrs.

Harrv Darlington yesterday aeain took up the role of hostess, her entertainment being a farewell luncheon, which she gave at her home in lrwln avenue for Mrs. Alex Laughlin preliminary to her departure to-morrow for Europe. The appointments of Mrs. Darlington's entertainments have the peculiarity ot conveying the impression that her latest effort distances in artistic beauty any of its predecessors. "Yesterday her decorations were yellow tulips and English violets, breathing early-spring odors in keeping with the little fiction of spring conveyed by the sunshine and balmy air out of eioors.

The center piece was of tulips bordered with the violets formed into boueiuets, to be later carried away by the guests for favors. The candles were saded with yellow tulips, and no less perfect than nature's best were the confections of tulips and violets tilling the little silver bonbon dishes. In addition ti the flower favors, a dainty Dresden work bag mounted in metal was laid beside each cover. The name cards were also dainty things painted In violets ami tulips. Mrs.

north of that river on the extreme right of the Uoers. There are two English armies engaged, one under General Bulier and the other undr General Warren, the latter attempting to Ilank the Boers and circle their extreme western position, while BuUer attacks them in front of the river. Commencing on Friday, the battle continued from sunrise to sunset on Saturday and Sunday, and was no doubt renewed yesterday, although we have little news at this time tin-fortunes of war on Sunday arrd Monday. So far there have been no decisive results. The Boers have been driven from some positions, but have fallen back to others, contesting every foot of ground.

The British in the language of yesterday's dispatches are doggedly advancing in the face of an equally stubborn resistance. Some point must 1-reached hen the limax of a determining battle will be forced. This means the relief of or its fall. It is a military and political necessity that the British should drive the Boers away and liberate the garrison. Failure to do so will give up Natal to the Boers, and promote an insurrection among the Cape Colony Dutch, numbering CO.mw capable of bearing arms, who may rise at a critical juncture.

It is noticeable in the accounts of the three days' lighting that the British are advancing cautiously, and are not risking front to front assaults on the Beers' defenses, by which they have lost so heavily In recent battles. They have learned to respect their foes and their facilities in rapid movement. The Boers carry on the war as they have from the start by withholding their fire whenever necessary to mark their positions. The country over which the tiehtlncr is taking place Is most favorable to the Boers and disadvantageous to the attacking armies, which are fighting "up hill" all the time. Days may pass into weeks in this kind of warfare.

Th-? British are fighting In the open, over an unknown and broken country, easy of defense and against an invisible enemy, until forced to disclose themselves. The statement that the Boers are loping heart has no evidence worthy of credence back of it. The discouragement Is more likely to l.e on the other side. James B.

There is some ground for belief that the treaty of Paris by which we paid for islands In revolt against Spain confirmed what is alleged to be the vested rights of the religious orders to vast amounts of the best lands in the principal Island of Luzon and in the great city of Manila. Nothing can be said as a certainty on this point, as when the islands come under the constitution of the United States the important issues must go to the courts.

The papal delegate to the Philippines, the American Archbishop Chappelle, formerly of New Orleans, who went out with credentials from President McKinley as well as from the pope, was confronted on his arrival at Manila by these property questions. A report became current that under the Joint authority of pope and President a novel combination he would sustain the property rights of the religious orders, insist on the return to their parishes and religious houses of the friars driven out of the country by the Filipino republic. This created great excitement among the Filipinos who favor a native priesthood and the continued expulsion of the friars. It Is also said this opposition to the religious orders has extended widely among the American troops, which is altogether probable, for as a rule they are Protestants and opposed to clerical domination in any form. Archbishop Chappelle.1 papal and presidential agent, has found it necessary to dc-ny as "absurd" the reports he was siding with the Spanish friars against the Filipino Catholics, for It must be unlerstxd the Filipinos who drove out the friars are devoted Catholics but believe in the ministrations of the native priesthood.

The case Is like that presented by Juarez and Diaz in Mexico when they confiscated church property as a danger to the state. So it appears we have nut only paid Spain 10.000.000 for the heritage of a big war, in which 70,000 American soldiers are now engaged, but we have also fallen heir to what may turn out to be one of the most embittered religious controversies that has ever fallen to our lot, and one whose malign Influence, under the force of sectarian passion, may extend to the people of the United States. It is one of the trimmings of Imperialism that proposes to control and determine all that concerns the people. The Emperor-President will have his hands full.

Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, not unknown for his radical-Ism in this region, lately charged in the good city of Boston that President McKinley "on a private occasion drank champagne." The Philadelphia "Press" foolishly takes up half a column defending the President from the tremendous crime, and seeks to prove It a He. The charge, whether true or false, was a bit of meddling impertinence and should have been passed over with contemptuous silence. If the President thought a glass of champagne good for hts digestion and comfort, he had a right to indulge in it.

The President has some rights as well as a private citizen, and 'n his rrlvete concerns and tiabits should not be annoyed by impudent one-idea fanatics.

Dr. Crafts started the Etory with a glass of wine, iut when It got down to. the heels of his following it probably grew to a bottle of gin. That's the way with such stories. President Cleveland and his family suffered by them to an extent that shamed the whole country by the grossness and vulgarity with which they were exaggerated, and the worst of it was the lies sprang from the 'unco guid" of the Crafts type, who relish a scandal more than they do wholesome truth.

22. Governor George K. Nash yesterday received a letter from his step-son David W. Deshler, announcing his marriage on November last in Korea to a Japanese woman of rank. David Deshler has been living in Korea for nearly 10 years, having a number of concessions from the Korean government.

The pro-Boer mass meetings now being held in different parts of the country, small meetings In the smaller towns and cities and great meetings in the larger cities, cannot but influence public sentiment in this country by placing it full sympathy with the two republics struggling for thfir national existence. The San Francisco meeting was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in that city The sabe may be said of the great meetings in Philadelphia. New York, Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.

Louis. These meetings were originally started by Irish and German organizations, but )the feeling has extended and now per-n-ades the American people. The mass meeting In Washington on Sunday night was addressed by half a dozen and it was a fairly representative American gathering. Its resolutions include a strong appeal to President McKinley to offer his good offices to the hostile powers under the arbitration provisions of The Hague conference There Is a bare possibility that the President if he finds this policy sufficiently popular may adopt It. although the British appear to have an understanding he will stand in with them.

He presented a petition in the Senate the other day, signed by colored persons, calling for such legislation.

The senator in some remarks declared that "If the States are derelict in the exercise of their power to protect (th negro) and punish crime against his rights, he. being a citizen of the United States, as distinguished from a citizen of a State or concurrently with the citizenship of a State, the Federal courts have power, or may be given power by statute, to afford that protection, and Congress ought not to undertake to shirk its responsibility and refuse to enact a proper statute." Mr. Allen Is a Populist with Democratic inclinlngs to the extent he Is an enthusiastic supporter of Mr. Bryan. It is strange, but his views as to the extension of Federal power are not shared by Senator Chandler, who may be called a radical Republican.

Mr. Chandler has Democratic States rights ideas and maintained that "under the Constitution -as it now reads there is no power in Congress to prevent crimes in the States. The.e cannot be legislation by Congress to repair the evil done by the non-enforcement of State laws." Senator Chandler as a Republican would welcome Federal interference in the matter of lynchings in the South if 22. In the the House Fit FORT. Ja n.
