If you feel weak and all worn out take BROWN S IRON BITTERS STARTLING REVELATION. A SHELL SCPEBIOB IN ETKBT KS ENTIAI. QUALITY To any Now la Cse Elthsr hy This ar Other GoverButents-The Shell Great that Na Armor Haoofattartd Can Withstand Its Mealstanea-la-vented by mm American O IB ear. Washington, May 8. Some facta almost Startling In their Importance were laid be fore the Senate to-day In executive sea slon. They related, it is understood, to the invention of a shell by a prominent officer of the United States navy a shell su perior in every essential quality to any now in use either by this or other govern ments. The quality of penertatlon pos sessed by the shell Is said to be so great that no armor now manufactured la the United States or abroad has sufficient re sistance to withstand it. The facts, which were In possession of only a few Senators, were deemed so im portant that the Senate decided to con sider them in secret session. To-day. after the Naval bill had been laid aside for the day, Mr. Tillman asked for a secret session in order that he might explain to the Senate why he de sired the armor plate matter to be dis cussed in secret. When the doors were closed, he ex plained that several days ago he had of fered a resolution calling upon the Secre tary of the Navy to send to the Senate for its Information the details of teats made by the department's officials of armor plate at Indian Head. No answer to that inquiry has been re ceived, and In all human probability none will be received. It sems that Mr. Tillman called at the Navy Department, and was Informed that it would be unwise at this time to maks public the details of the tests he had ask ed for, as it would place in the hands, not only of the Senate, but of representa tives of foreign governments Information that properly belonged exclusively to the United States. He was Informed that Ad miral O'Neil, chief of the Bureau of Ord nance, had been conducting for several months a series of armor tests at Indian Head, the results of which were very re markable. A prominent official of the Navy Department said, It is understood, that the tests of all sorts of armor, in cluding the Krupp armor, had been made with a view of ascertaining their effec tiveness against a new shell that had been Invented by an officer of the navy. No piece of armor submitted to the test, It Is understood, was able to withstand the test. The shell, fired from high power guns, penetrrtcd rh armor aft set as bul lets fired from a Krag-Jorgensen rifle would penetrate green wood, the differ ence being that the armor plates spilt from the point of impact. It is said this was true of the Krupp armor, as well as the other armor tested. , The argument of Mr. Tillman Is, that with such a projectile in the possession of the government, the details of which sooner or later will become known to other governments, it would not be the part of wisdom for the Congress to enter Into contracts to purchase the high priced armor, unless it could be so im proved as to resist projectiles of the kind used at Indian Head. Feeling that more or less of the matter concerning the tests recently made by the gevernmerit would be used in the debate upon the armor question, Mr. Tillman suggested that it would be desirable to consider the subject in secret. I The Senate agreed with him and to morrow the armor plate matter will bs discussed behind closed doors. FILIPINOS ATTACK AMERICANS. uver Four Hundred af the Enemy Milled and Three Americans Lose ' Their LI roe. Manila, May 8. A force of rebels May Ed attacked twenty men of Company I, of the Forty-fourth Regiment, sta tioned at Barotac, Ilo'ilo province, on the Island of Panay. Three of the Americans were killed and seven were wounded. The enemy, estimated to number four hundred men, surrounded Barotac and attacked the place on all sides. After two men had been killed and four wounded the American commander sent four men to try and get through to communicate with the remainder of the sempany at Dumangas. Of the four men one was killed and three were wounded. The latter managed to re turn to Barotac. A friendly native finally brought news of the fight to a company of the Twenty-sixth, who suc cored the garrison of Barotac on the night of May 3d. The enemy's losses were heavy. A court-martial, composed of General Hall (presiding), General Grant and several colonels, convened to-day at Manila to try Colonel James S. Pettit on the charge of delivering a Filipino prisoner to the local authorities at Gamboangan, with the result that the prisoner immediately bolted. Pedro Paterno, the former President of the so-called Filipino Cabinet, who was recently captured in the mountains of Trinidad, has arrived here and hag been placed incommunicado in the political jail. He is suffering greatly from sickness. A RIOTOUS STRIKE. Cumberland. Md May 8. About 1000 of the George's Creek miners, who have been on strike several weeks, and who had determined to resume work to-day, were met this morning by an equal number of union men at Ocean Mine No. 1 and a serious clash occurred. One of the men, John Davidson, who persisted in entering the mines against the protests of the union men, was as saulted and badly beaten. Several others were beaten and seriously In jured. Only about fifty miners suc ceeded in entering the mines. Lona condlng is reported to be in possession of a howling mob. Sheriff Martin and deputies have gone to the scene. The ugly feeling between the union and non-union men is growing, and it lg feared that the militia will be called out to quell the disturbances in the several towns in tae region.- "Delays are dangerous.

Cincinnati, O., May 8. National Chairman D. Clem Deaver called the convention of the Middle-of-thc-Road Populists to order at 1:50 p. m. He in troduced Mayor Tafel, who welcomed the delegates to Cincinnati in a brief Bpeech in which he gave expression to what the delegates were pleased to in terpret and applaud as Populist senti ments. On the part of the delegates Professor J. A. Boyse, of Nebraska City, Neb., thanked the Mayor. When Chairman Deaver rapped for order there were on the floor of the Opera House 470 men and women occupying delegates' seats and seventy-five people In the galleries. Chairman Deaver de livered his formal address to the dele gates. His remarks were loudly ap plauded throughout. National Secretary Jo A. Parker was then introduced to read the call for the convention. Parker was received with tumultuous applause. He prefaced the reading with a few remarks on the work of the National Committee fol lowing the disruption in the Populist forces at Lincoln, Neb., on February 19th last Chairman Deaver announced that the National Committee had recommended the selection of former Congressman M. W. Howard, of Ala bama, for temporary chairman. The convention unanimously ratified that recommendation. Mr. Howard was re ceived with much applause. Tumultuous cheering followed his speech. J. C. Allen, of Oklahoma, and Earl Richardson, of Illinois, were elect ;d by acclamation, temporary secretary and assistant secretary, respectively. At the completion of the committees there were loud calls for Ignatius Don nelly, of Minnesota. When he reached the footlights he was seized and lifted to the stage, where he was greeted with continued cheers. Mr. Donnelly felici tated the national committee on its success in bringing together such a body of delegates. Mr. Donnelly reviewed the repeal of the Sherman act and declared that at the next election following that repeal the Populists gained immense strength In many States. Then, he declared, was the game of the Democrats sprung to steal the Populists' platform and save itself from destruction. He de nounced Bryan and lauded Thomas C. Watson, but declared that the Demo crats in 1896 refused to recognize the Populists, whom they only wanted for their two million votes. Recess was then taken until 8 o'clock. At to-night's session speeches were made by A. A. Burkhard, candidate for Governor of Indiana, and Wharton Barker. The committee on credentials report ed the official list selected by "refer endum" and no contests. Many dele gations were not full. The committee refused to recognize proxies. The re port allowed Kansas only two votes Instead of eighty-six, as there were only two delegates present. When the proxy test was made on Kansas, R. M. Chenault, of Kansas, made a speech. In which he said Chairman Howard could carry that State for President, and a wild demonstration followed, but li stirred up the Barker, Donnelly and other men against allowing Chenault to cast forty-three votes, or half that of Kansas. Charges were made In in flammatory speeches that the delegates from Kansas and Nebraska were not lincere middle-of-the-roaders, but here In the interest of the Sioux Falls far tion. On the balloting the result was dis puted amid great disorder and verified tmid renewed disorder on amendments is well as on the main question. The report was amended by a vote of 383 to 281, so that the delegates present ;ould cast the full quota for their re jpective States and then adopted. This Ras regarded as an anti-Barker vote. The report on rules and order of busi less as adopted provides for assembling it 8 a. m. to-morrow and remaining in ;ontinuous session till its work is com pleted. The committee on permanent organ zation reported in favor of William E. Peek, of Georgia, for permanent chair nan and former Governor W. H. Waite, f Colorado, for vice-chairman, with a ong list of secretaries and sergeant-at-irms. A minority report precipitated a pro longed dispute, but the majority report was finally adopted. The Texas dele gation, which is solid for Howard, di vided on this vote because it favors Milton Park, of Texas, for chairman of the National Committee. Colonel W. L. Peek then addressed the convention la its permanent chairman. At 11:15 o'clock the convention ad journed till 8 a. m. to-morrow. THE U LINoja REPUBLICANS. Blchard Yntea Nominated for Gov ernor Amid Great Confusion. Peoria, 111., May 9. The Republican State Convention to-day nominated Richard Yates for Governor, after an exciting contest. Mr. Yates is son of "Dick" Yates, Illinois' famous war gov ernor. The nominee is 39 years old, is United States internal revenue collec tor for the Springfield district. The platform adopted re-affirms tr)e St. Louis platform, endorses the Mc Kinley administration and its bene ficent effects and its insular policy, en dorses the new currency law and favors Buch legislation as will destroy all un lawful combinations of capital formed for the purpose of limiting production or increasing the price of manufactured products. A proposed amendment to express sympathy with the Boers was lost in a storm of hisses. Congressman "Joe" Cannon, John J. Brown, Hale Judson, J. M. Smyth, were elected delegates-at-large and H. D. Pierce and J. M. Her bert electors-at-large. The State ticket elected Includes W. A. Northcutt, renominated by acclama tion as Lieutenant-Governor; J. A. Rose, Secretary of State; M. O. Wil liamson, Treasurer; H. J. Hamlin, Attorney-General. On the first and second ballots for Governor was taken Judge Elbridge Hanecy, of Chicago, led. and on the third an effort was made to stampede the convention for Congress man Reeves. The roll call ended in confusion. The convention became a mob. But a Yates banner hoisted brought defeaning cheers, and it was Yates' convention from then on. Hanecy' s strength was quickly transferred to Yates. The fourth and last ballot resulted: Yates, 971; Reeves, 566. Mr. Yates' nomination, was made unanimocs. f HE MIDDLE-lr- fRE-B THE M. E. CONFERENCE. A DAT FULL OP LIEF, BRISK DE BATE and waii rrrxisG, Consternation Among the Delegate Over the Sale or the Dally ( hrlattaa Advocate on Sanday Violent a poeltlon to Pahllahlag All C . troversles la Its Columns -The Too of Individual Communion Capa. Chicago, May 7. The session of the Methodist General Conference to-day was full of life, of brisk debate and gome feeling. There was consternation among the delegates when it was learn ed that the Daily Christian Advocate had been hawked about on Sunday; there was violent opposition to Dr. J. M. Buckley's resolution directing that all articles on controversies under dis cussion by the Conference be elimi nated from the Daily Advocate and a resolution by former Congressman M. W. Johnson, of North Dakota, giving the approval of the Conference to the use of individual communion cups was cried down without the formality of a discussion. Dr. A. B. Leonard demanded to know by whose authority the Dally Christian Advocate, which represents the doings of the Conference, had been hawked about the streets yesterday like any secular Sunday paper. It was sold, he declared, with much vigor, at the very doorof the Auditorium, while the Methodists were entering to attend di vine services. "I want to put a motion right here," taid the delegate from Cincinnati, "that hereafter our paper be not sold on the Sabbath and that the proper authori ties be directed to enforce the rule." D. D. Thompson, manager of the pa per, explained that the papers sold were back numbers, that the sale was not authorized and that it would not occur again. Dr. Buckley's resolution concerning the suppression of certain articles, was passed by a vote of 323 to 279, but not until several delegates had expressed themselves very freely. "The humble delegates want all the light on the subject tl;ey can get," said Delegate Hammill, of Illinois, leader of the opposition to the resolution. Dr. John Lanahan, of Baltimore, re marked that the editors were so used to suppressing things in their paper that they want to suppress the whole Conference. A dozen others spoke in a similar strain. A motion to table th resolution was lost and following this, the resolution was passed. An attack on the .""usement la-use In the Book of Discipline was made in an unlooked for way by Dr. J. E. Price, of New York, durinjr the session. He questioned the constitutionality of the amusement paragraph (248) and asked that the Committee on Judiciary look Into the matter. In explanation Dr. Price said: "I do not believe the paragraph is constitutional beraise it is a judicial ruling, but was not delivered in a case on trial. The paragraph was adopted in 1872 and not as the result of a trial." It seems probable that, because of the advanced age of several members of the Episcopacy, the committee on Episcopacy will recommend the elec tion of five additional bishops. T.iree will be for work in this country and two to supervise the missionary work In Asia. This is the programme in favor with a majority of the members of the committee on Episcopacy. There are twenty or more avowed candidates for the high office of Bishop, although it is not likely more than five additions to the present Board of Episcopacy will be made. It is probable that much opposition to the election of a colored bishop will appear when the matter is taken up by the conference. The Southern delegates, it is said, will vote solidly in favor of the innovation, but hundreds of representatives of Northern conferences, it Is said, will oppose it. The great number of white candidates for bishop, it is believed, will operate against the chances of Dr. J. E. Bowen, of Washington, the lead ing colored aspirant, and several promi nent delegates declare that the elec tion of Dr. Bowen by the present con ference Is by no means certain. A many sided movement to increase still further the powers of laymen in the Methodist church organization can be marked as the standing committees of the General Conference settle down to business. These are some of the proposed re forms: The admission of laymen to the annual conference. A constitutional requirement for a majority vote of the two order separately on all constitution al changes. The seating of laymen to the General Conference in a body, separate from the ministerial delegates, so as to secure greater Independence for the laymen. The election of stewards and trustees of churches by the church members in their quarterly conferences. Instead of the appointment of them by the pastor. A FACTORY AND FORTY HOUSES . BURNED. Atlanta, Ga., May 7. The factory of the Ware Furniture 'Company, one of the largest manufacturing plants of its kind in the South, just outside the city limits, was burned this afternoon. Forty cottages, occupied by people em ployed in the factory, were destroyed, many of the families losing all their frwts Several hundred thousand feet of hardwood lumber were also burned.

Endicott died in this city to-day. k n I t William Crowlnshield Endicott was Secretary of War during President Cleveland's first administration. Mr. Endicott, who was a descendant of John Endicott, colonial Governor of Massachusetts, was born la Salem, Mass., in 1827. He was a graduate of Harvard University, where he also studied law. Afterward he became a member of the Common Council of Sa lem. From 1857 to 1864 he was City Solicitor of his native place. He resign ed the position to resume the practice of law and in 1873 was elevated to the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts, a place which he held for ten years. In 1885 he accepted a place in Presi dent Cleveland's Cabinet and served until 1889. Mr. Endicott was originally a Whig, but became a Democrat when the Whig party passed out of existence. He was several times a candidate for Attorney-General of Massachusetts and once ran for Congress. Mr. Endicott was married In 1859 to ft Miss Ellen Peabody, daughter of George Peabody, of Salem. He was the father-in-law of Joseph Chamberlain, now Colonial Secretary for the British Empire, who In 1888 married In New York Miss Mary Endicott, only daugh ter of the ex-Secretary. It is said that she has been a great help to her hus band in his political career. A FIGHT WITH FIUPIXOS. Americans Attached by the fnsur genta Two Hundred and Klahty Plllplnoa Hilled and Two Ameri cana Wonnded. Manila, May 7. Two rebel attacks on the American garrisons in the Visayan islands recently have resulted In the killing of 280 of the enemy and the Wounding of two Americans. At daybreak May 1st, four hundred rebels, a hundred of them armed with rifles, attacked Catarman, In northern iBoanar, in the vicinity of Catublg. Company F, of the Forty-third Regi ment, was garrisoning the place. The enemy built trenches on the outskirts iOf the town during the nig at and fired volleys persistently into it until the Americans, charging the trenches, scat tered the Filipinos and killed 156 of them. Two Americans were wounded. This attack was precipitated by the enemy's recent successful fight at Catublg. The garrison of Catarman baa been removed to the seaport of Daguan. A force of Filipinos estimated to number 200 men, armed with rifles and 600 armed with bolos and operating four muzzle-loading cannon, attacked Jaro, on Leyte island, April 15th, which place was garrisoned by twenty-five men of Company B, of the Forty-third Regiment, Lieutenant Estes command ing. Estes left fifteen men to protect the town and with the remaining ten men he advanced on the enemy in two squads, sheltered by the ridges south of the town, whence they stood off the Filipinos for three hours. Then twenty armed members of the local police force sallied out to help the Americans. The latter, with the police, charged the ene my and altogether, they dispersed the Filipinos, and after the fight was over buried 125 of them. There were no American casualties. AGUINALDO LOCATED. Manila, May 7. TeVjrams received here from General Ycung report that Aguinaldo has rejoined the rebel Gen eral Tlno in the north, and that they have reassembled a considerable force in the mountains. General Young de sires to strike them before the rains, and asks for reinforcements. The te or of the dispatches indicates that General Young is confident that Aguinaldo is with Tino, and it is presumed they are planning to resume fighting during the rains. Company F, of the Forty-severth Regiment, met ar.d routed a band of t ie enemy between Legaspi and Riago, province of Albay, April 13. Two Americans were killed and five were wounded, including two officers. The Filipinos lost heavily. The conditions around Legaspi and Sorr-gon are reported to be continually disturbed. COLLAPSE OP A BCILBISO. Seven People Burled In the Bulna All Eaeape Instant Death. f Kansas City, Mo., May 7. A three story brick building at 1302 Grand ave nue, in the business centre, occupied on the ground floor by Jacob Goodman as a second-hand store, and above by Mrs. Mary Sohn as a rooming-house, collapsed this afternoon, burying seven persons in the ruins. It is believed none of the injured will die. John W. Moore, pged 70 years, former Mayor of Kansas City, was most seriously hurt. John W. Moore, former Mayor of Kansas City and a member of the Board of Trade, was taken out of the wreck unconscious. He had evidently been in a room on the second floor, and when located was buried ten feet under brick, mortar and broken furni ture. It was twenty minutes before the firemen could chop their way to him. He was removed limp and unconscious and hurried to the hospital, where his Injuries were found serious, though not necessarily fatal. Anna Goodman was found burled ten feet beneath the debria and rescued by her father, who had escaped with slight Injuries. Others were found be Jnw the debris, severely bruised. - ABXNDcrrrrr riisOFFicEr Savannah, Ga., May 7. Dr. S. B.

THE TELEQaAPHEKS' SIRIHF. The Proaldent Of the Organisation Announeea the Discontinuance of the Trouble. Atlanta, Ga., May 8. President W. If T- . t 1 -.M t , J 0 !,! ! v. ruwcn, ui me viuci ui an., ; Telegraphers, Issued an order effective at 11 a. m. to-day, discontinuing the strike of the Southern Railway Tele graphers, declared April 12, 1900. t In his statement. President Powell announces the decision of the officers of the Order regarding the strike. He states that the telegraphers can now apply to the Southern for employment j without being considered by the Order j as "scabs," but advises them not to j do so. He says: "It is to be regretted that some of the purposes for which the strike was Inaugurated, are not entirely success ful. Had all the membership of the or ganization and those who agreed to support it on this struggle remained loyal to their cause, It would have been possible to give to you the notice of a complete victory." President Powell asserts that while the strike controversy is ended, the boycott feature on the Southern will be continued by the Order and con cludes his statement as follows: ' The fight against the Southern Railway will never be stopped by the organization, until such time as it concedes the things demanded by its telegraphers, the refusal of which led to the inaug uration of a strike on the Southern's lines at 11 a. m.. April 12, 1900." It is stated from the strikers' head quarters, that many of the telegraphers formerly employed by the Southern are seeking positions on Western roads and some are entering other employment. The dally strike edition of the "Jour nal of Labor" through the columns of which the fight has been vigorously waged, announced its discontinuance in to-day's Issue. THESE. E. QCMKBtL COWfKltEWCE. "What la the Orml Law of Churcli?" -Lay B-preentatlo the In the (onffr-nef. Chicago. May 8. The matter of Import ance before the General Conference to day was the report of the Committee on Organic Law of the Church. This com mittee was appointed by the General Con ference of 1S and was made up of two bishops, six ministers and three laymen, among whom wore the leading constitu tional authorities In the church. It hai had several protracted sessions, in which every question bearing on the tubjecl were submitted to the most careful scru tiny. The real work of the committee wat to decide on what is the organic law of th church or. In other words, what la th constitution. It seems strange that a great church could have permitted almotl a century to pass without deciding so vi tal a question. But It should be remem bered that the Methodist Episcopal Churcft was organized under the dlrtoi authority of John Wesley, who gave Its doctrines and rules. To these have been added from time to time such legislation as seemed to be needed to Interpret and carry out their spirit. The constitution has been a growing one, whose limits have never been clearly defined. The movement for determining precisely what these limits are began in 18S8. It will probably close with the adoption of th present committee's report, modified. If at all, by a few verbal changes. The report names as the organic law of the church the articles of religion, the general rulei as they appeared in the discipline of 180, and all that legislation which appears un der the head of 'The General Confer ence." It is the opinion of Bishop Mor rill, the oldest constitutional authority In the church, that this report Is the mosl Important matter which will come befora the General Conference at this session. Only the first paragraphs of the report wers considered by the Conference to day. One of these served to show the sentiment relative to lay representation Id the annual confTer.ce. It is clear that this will be resisted by the ministry. THE COUNTERFEITING SPIRACY. CON- Philadelphia. May 8.
