English house at Iloilo says that busi‘

the agents of the same firm telegraph-
say the Iloilo
telegram is unreliable as “nothing un-
fiavorable to the Americans is allowed
to pass the censor.
The Filipinos in Europe think the sit-
nation has nowlse improved. They fear
hostilities as sodn as the peace treaty
is ratified.
They add that the Filipinos who sur-
round Manila number thirty thousanl
troops. and that they will not permit
the Americans to land reinforcemenzs
on the island of Luzon.
The stories of outrages on women,
etc., are strongly denied by the Fili-

The natives are emboldened by their

Anti-Ritualists Active.
London, Feb. 1.--The anti-Ritualist
crusade in England is daily becoming
more bitter. John Kensit, the noto-
rious interrupter of Ritualist services,
interrupted the ceremonies of the con—
firmation of the Bishop of Bangor in
London yesterday because the bishop
had appointed as examining chaplain
a member of the English Church Un-
ion. which favors masses and the con-
fessional.
Kensit‘s interruption of the ceremo-
nies culminated in a scene unpreceden-
ted since 1847, when the opposition to
the Bishop of Hampden led to the
blocking of traflic in Cheapside. Ken-
sit’s suppo‘rters cheered his action
loudly, but the ecclesiastics calmly
proceeded with the ceremony at the.
conclusion of which the newly installed
bishop devoutly blessed the congrega—
tion, including the Kensitlites.
A large portion of those present at
the meeting add1essed by Mr. Balfour
at Manchester last night hissed the
speaker because of his high church
No Successor to Quay Yet.
Harrisburg. Pa., Feb. 1.--There were
few absentees, pailed or otherwise
11 hen the joint session of th legislature
was called to order by Lieutenant Gov—
ernor Gobin yesterday.
The lobbies and galleries were filled
and there was evidently expectation of
a crisis in the balloting, but the lead—
ers insisted that nothing in the way
of a coup was contemplated.
The twelfth joint ballot was taken.
[t resulted as follows:
Quay 104, Jenks 81, Dalzell 14, Stew-
art 6, Irvin 4, Tubbs 1, Huff 6, Stone 7,
{ice 2, Grow 1, Markie 2, Smith 1,
Weidner 2, Riter 2, total 233. Neces-
sary to a choice 117. No election.
The better judgment of' the Quay
leaders is that there will be no election
until after the trial of Senator Quay
at Philadelphia on the twentieth of this
month.

Denudation of Forests.
Albany. N. Y., Feb. 1.--Following
closely upon the action of the News-

F. hox,1‘oiest inspector of New Yo1k

the route which the president is to ac-
quire from Nicaragua and Costa Rico

a delinquishment of sovereignty ovez'
any territory. _
Other propositions were submitted
as to the authority to be given to “1.

One by Mr. Sherman if New York is
as follows: ,
“That authority is hereby given the
president to negotiate, by commissior

or use of any lands, waters, rights,
privilges, contracts, concessions, or
other property deemed necessary as
expedient to facilitate the. immediate.

Another form proposed by Mr. Ad-
