It was the first severe reverse that has occurred for a long time. Still the oficials were not unprepared for news of Just this character from Samar, in which th revolution started by Aguinaldo still continues. Samar is a country about as Jarge as the state of Ohio and the American forces of occupation number in all between 2000 and 2,400 men. These are distributed among varfous posts in the island, a large number being located at the more important centers. Spain never made any efforts to occupy §amar and it only has boen for probably three montha past that the United States has undertaken that work latest report made by General Hughes to the War department was that the number of fnsurgent rifles In the island aggre- gated about 300. The Filipinos carried on a guerrllla warfare and operations against them were difficult, The disaster to Com- yany C of the Ninth Infantry occurred, it 18 belloved, while it was engaged in an expodition to clear the country of roving bands of these insurgents. The fact that the Americans were attacked while at broakfast indicates the daring and pluck of the insurgents Reasult t An nation. Immediately upon receipt of the dispatch Adjutant General Corbin cabled General Chaffee to wend a full report of the fight and a st of sualties. A well known offictal in Washington said he regarded the outbreak as a sequel to the assassination of President McKinley. The insurgents possibly belleved the shooting to be the result of some popular outbreak agalnst the president.

WILLIAM C. GRAY DEAD Editor of held governor ceremonies be made of juries of the the exhibitors constructed of spring Interior and Ploncer in Creed Reviston Passes Away in Chicago. CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—(Special Telegram ) —Dr. Willlam C. Gray, thirty years editor of the Interior and a pleneer In the move- ment for revislon of the Presbyterlan creed, died this afternoon sbortly after 1 o'clock at his home in Oak Park, & suburb of Chi- cago. His death had he:, -vpected the Iast two weeks and is the result of a gen- eral breaking down. Last May, at summér home, Island Lake, Wis., an opera tion was performed and for a time be im proved, but a relapse followed hls return to Chicago. Plans for funeral services are not settled, but Rev. N. 1. Hillis, pastor ot Plymouth church, Brooklyn, will deliver the sermon Ever since the Chicago fire Dr. Gray had been a leader among the Presbyterians of Chicago and the northwest. In affairs, whether of doctrine, organization or social life, his influence was as great as that of any other man, and it was not the power of the pulplt, for Dr. Gray was never admitted to the ministry, but exclusively the power of the It was in 1571 that he was called to this city from Cincinpatl, where he was at th head of a large printing house, and was made the editor of the Interior, which needed to be practically re-established account of its losses from the big fire. He became a partner with Cyrus McCormick in the firm of McCormick & Gray, pub lshers of the paper, and fts conduct had been his one great concern ever since With his wife and childron he made hly home In Oak Park from the start He had been editor of the paper only four years when the controversy arose that resulted In the trial of David Swing for heresy, and while he had been regarded as one of the enemies of the famous pastor of the Fourth Presbyterlan church, the necessity of the trial was always one of his great regrets. Dr. Gray was born in Butler county, Ohfo, in 1830. He was a farmer's son. By extra farm work, and later by tenching in a country school, he earned money enough to take him to college. Miami university was the institution he had planned tend, but there came & split in the faculty and he followed the retiring members Farmers' college. Young Gray did not take kindly to his father's advice that he study for the min- istry, but instead he read law for a while intending to lawyer. Ha sup. ported himself meanwhile newspapers, and befora long was o r ested in journalism that law censed to have charms. Then followed & long period experiments in country journalism, which filled almost twenty years of his life Dr. Gra always a hard worker, and one of his boasts.was that he never missed earning his in all his lite. His stulies occupied all of his spare time. he never abandoned them. In later years his acquirements were recognized with the Aegree of Ph. D. from Wooster (0.) col- lege, and with the degree of LL.

The fact that Mr and also a candidate for delegate fection that was rather ingeniously brought before the convention by Mr. Van Dusen— #hould not have been considered unless it was the will of the conventlon upset precedent and question the right of a great many of the delegates to their seats. Tt has always been common practice for the county allow candi- dates for places on the delegations to serve as judges at the primaries in the country precincts, and there were among the antis in Saturday's convention a number of Aele« gates from the country who had acted as Judges at the primarfes, including for ex- Mr. Ducker of Unfon, Mr. Witte of Chicago and Mr. Rogert of Dundee. So, un- less precedent was to be ignored and the antls ready to unseat of their own delegates, the objection to Mr. Saussay on the ground that he had been a caucus Judge was of no force Th primary e he any numbe this co present n seition to the plan of Saussay de ega could ot an obe country committee to the Clontart house of county committen calle to be held at the Munser, one of the committesmen for the precinct. A few days preceding the pri mary or caucus the Clontarf committeemen were advised that a gang from South Omaha headed by Henry Murphy had planned to show up at Munser's at the appointed hour and take control of the primary. In order to avold this gang and to thwart ite plan the real republican voters of Clontarf, in- cluding the committeemen for the precinct, ‘held their primary in a back room in Mun- sor's house at the appotntod time and when Murphy and his South Omaha heelers showed up they were not admitted. The South Omahens then held their purported primary on Munser's front porch, choosing Judges and clerks from their own ranks. According to Murpby, there were votes cast the front porch while the Saussay ticket Is said to have received six votes at the official primary. At the last general election Clontarf gave six ' for McKinley and only four fo the rest of the republican ticket and ft the appear that the full #trength of the republicans of the precinet in the Saussay primary committeemen insist that only repub It at their primary and that democrats and non-residents of - the pre- cinct voted at the Kastner-Murphy ing on the front porch and this statement is substantiated by the fact that the Kast- Murphy delegation wes composed of democrats, including Charles Horn, who was one of Tom Hoctor's delegates to the democratic convention of two weeks ago. Yet this delegation of democrats was seated to help nominate the republican ticket A8 to Saussay's residence in the precinet, it Is & fact that he has lived and voted there for years, and has represented Clon- tarf on the county committee for some time.
