FILIPINOS NAME TERMS OF PEACE. SANCTION OP AGUINAL? DO IS CONSIDERED CERTAIN. Manila, .lune 21, 6.55 p. m -Two hundred Filipinos met this morning in Manila to determine honorable and doojeous methods lor securing peace The results were submitted this evening to Gen MacArthur, who ac? cepted them .The leaders of the meeting will nse their influence to induce Agni saldo to accept the arrangement. If they are successful, ss they hope to be, they believe Aguinaldo will issue orders in conjunction with the Amer :can authorities for the cessation of hostilities The meeting, which was the first of the kind since the days of the Fil ipino congress, was composed of the distinctly revolutionary element, the "Americanistas" being lacking. Thirty political prisoners were re? leased from jail this morning in order to attend. Senor Paterno presided and ?Senor Bueucamino, the origina tor of the mevement. Senor Flores, Gen. Pio del Pilar, Gen Garcia, Gen Macabulos and other prominent revo lutionists were present. It was pointed out that the questions to be considered were military and civil, the military being concerned with a cessation of hostilities, and the civil with the determination of the politi? cal status of the Filipinos The im mediate object of the meeting was to effect peace and subsequently the leaders could consult with the civil commission as to political matters lt was evident that Senor Paterno was convinced that he could obtain Aguinaldo's sanction to a peace based upon the following seven clauses, which, after four hours, were unani? mously accepted as compilable with an honorable peace : 1 Amnesty. 2. The return by the Americans to the Filipinos of confiscated prop* erty. 3 Employment for the revolution? ary generals in the navy and militia when established. 4. The application of the Filipino revenues to succor needy Filipino soldiers. 5 A guarantee to the Filipinos of the exercise of personal rights ac? corded to Americans by their consti? tution. 6 Establishment of civil govern? ments at Manila and in the provinces 7. Expulsion of the Friars. The statement was vociferously ac claimed, the entire assembly shout? ing "expel, expel 5' AMNESTY PROCLAMATION Washington, June 21.-The war department made public the following notice of amnesty, which was issued by Gen.

A president, board of directors and other officers will be elected, and the splendid project will be launched with all due form and ceremonies And when the actual work of pre? paring an exposition is on, a back? wards glance will show that never was such an undertaking begun under more flattering auspices. Again, the plans are broad and the prospects for a magnificent exhibition are unsurpassed The exposition is intended to illustrate the wonderful variety and wealth of southern resources, and ma?niactured pro? ducts. Especial attention will be given to tbe cotton industry, the growing of the staple and maki?g it into yarns, cloth, etc. Agriculture will naturally be an important feature considered, for until recently the south was almost strictly an ag:*icu! tural section. Mining will be treat? ed more in tbe wealth of resources than results obtained, as South Caro lina and her neighboring States have countless millions in undeveloped minerals. Horticulture and floricul ture will naturally receive attention, for this is the garden spot of the world. The liberal arts in all their variety of interests will be accorded full space and fine arts will not be neglected The United States has been asked to make au exhibit cost ing $250,000 and this in ail probabil? ity be granted at the fall session of congress, having already been favor? ably reported in the senate.

"Tho recent escape from the parish prisou," said a secondhand bookseller ou the old side who has almost as many reminiscences as he has vol ? unies, "reminds me ot* a very curious ? case of jail delivery in which 1 was an accessory before tho fact. I was never arrested for it, but don't ob? ject to telling you the story. "One day in the summer of 1S95 a good looking, well dressed man strolled into the shop and said he wanted to get something that would interest his old mother, whom he described as very religious and fond of antique books. "We picked out a dozen or so togeth? er, Fox's 'Book of Martyrs,' 'Pilgrim's Progress,' Mather's 'Sermons of Occa? sion.' Pusey's 'Daniel the Prophet' anti among others a quaint, massively bound volume called 'The Friend In Affliction.' They were all interesting old copies, but my caller told me he would like to submit them to his moth? er before closing the purchase and of? fered to leave a ?GU bill as security. "That was agreeable to me, and he carried away the lot. Next day he re? turned and brought back three or four of the books, among them 'The Friend In Affliction,' which he remarked laugh? ingly had given his mother the blues. The others he paid for. and I have nev? er seen him again from that day to this. "Almost a week after his visit, how? ever, a thin, prim, preciso, elderly lady, a typical spinster from hoad to toe, came in one afternoon and began look? ing over the shelves. Presently she ran across the same old 'Friend In Af? fliction' that had fared so badly in the other trade, and, much to my gratifi? cation, she purchased it on the spot It was exactly the thing, she said, to give consolation to an unfortunate per? son of her acquaintance who was then in great trouble. I was glad to get rid of the book and let her have it for a couple of dollars. "Fully a month afterward I was amazed to receive a visit from a big, burly man, who introduced himself as a detective, produced 'The Friend In AfHietion' from a valise and asked me what I knew about it. "The book had suffered since I saw it : last. One of its thick covers was rip- ! ped open, and sticking inside was a small steel tile. The story the detective told rae was certainly extraordinary. "It seems that a noted northern crook had been in jail in a small town up the" country on a charge of bank burglary and being a very smooth rascal had en? listed the sympathy of a philanthropic old lady of the place who had a fad for prison reform. He persuaded her that he had thoroughly repented, and she used to visit him regularly and bring him tracts and delicacies. "Among other things he told her that while broke in New Orleans he had sold all of his belongings, including a keepsake from his mother-a volume called 'The Friend In Affliction.' Ile gave her my address as the place where he had left the precious relic and worked on her feelings to such an extent that she promised to secure Tho book for him the first time she visited the city. "How she discovered and purchased it you already know. On her return she carried it straight to the jail, and while ordinarily all gifts for prisoners were closely examined, this lady's high char? acter made such precaution seem un? necessary and she passed in the volume without question. "A few days later the turnkey fourni a barred window neatly sawed and the bird flown. Ile also found 'The Friend In Affliction' lying on the floor, and in one of the massive covers were several saws and the file I have mentioned. Of course the philanthropic old lady was immediately questioned, and her j hysterical replies led to the visit of the ? detective, but nothing ever came of the quest. Tho fugitive is supposed to have left cu an outbound steamer-at any rate he was never caught. "What about my first customer, did you ask? Oh. he was undoubtedly the pal who planted the saws."-New Or? leans Times-Democrat. Onr Debt to t?ie nam Fowl.

"Yes, four long hours. There will be no rehearsals; nobody else knows where you are." Parepa laughed merrily at thc idea, and well she might At ll that day j i she had sung at one of our large Nev?' York churches, and I had insisted upon her goiug borne with me. We were friends in Italy, and so she readily conscntcd. But by noon the sky was overcast and gray. Down came the snow, whitening streets and roofs. We hurried home and sat close to the tire for an afternoon's enjoyment. There was a sharp rap at the door, and a note was thrust in. It read: My Dear Friend-Can you come? Annie bxs gone. She said you would bf? sure to come to Uer funeral. She spoke of you to the last. She will be buried at 4. "Oh. dear! I must go." said I, "but you sit by the fire and rest. I'll be at home in two hours. And so. poor An? nie has gone!" "Tell me about it, Myra," said Pare ! pa, "for I am going with you;" and. j after I had told the story she threw on j her heavy cloak, wound her long, white woolen scarf about her throat, drew on her gloves, and we set out together in the wild Easter storm. The driving storm made us late, and we found the hardworking friends sit? ting stithy against the walls. A minister came, brought as a mere matter of formality by the undertaker. Icier than the pitiless storm without, colder than the grave, were his words. He read a few verses from the Bible, warned the bereaved mother "against rebellion at the divine decrees," made a brief prayer and was gone. The undertaker looked at the great singer and me, as if to say, "It's time to go." Without a word Parepa rose and walked to the head of the coffin. She laid her white scarf on an empty chair, threw her cloak back from her shoul? ders, where it fell in long, soft black lines from her noble figure, like the drapery of mourning. She laid her soft, fair hand on the cold forehead, passed it tenderly over the wasted, del? icate face, looked down at the dead girl a moment, removed some Easter lilies I had brought from the stained box to the thin fingers and, with illu? mined eyes sang the glorious melody; Angels, ever bright and fair. Take, oh. take her to thy care! Her voice rose and fell in all its rich? ness and power and beauty and pity. She looked above tho dingy room and tlie tired faces of men and women, the hard hands and the struggling hearts. She threw- back her head and sang till the choirs of paradise must have paus? ed to listen to the Easter music of that day. She passed her hands caressingly over the girl's soft, dark hair and sang on and on: Take, ob, take ber to thy care! The mother's face grew rapt and white. Suddenly she threw my hand off and knelt at Parepa's feet, close to the wooden trestles. She locked her lingers together, tears and sobs break? ing forth. She prayed aloud that God would bless the angel singing for An? nie. I led her back to her seat as the last grand notes of Parepa's voice rose triumphant over all earthly pain and sorrow. I thought that no queen ever went to her grave with greater ceremony than this young ?laughter of poverty and toil, committed to the care of the an? gels. That night thousands listened to Pa? repa's matchless voice. Applause rose to the skies, and her own face was glo? riously swept with emotion. 1 joined in the enthusiasm, but above the glit? ter and the shimmering of jewels anti dress and the heavy odors ot' Easter flowers, the sea of smiling faces and the murmur of voices above, the sleet on the roof and the roar of the storm outside I could hear Parepa's voice singing up io heaven, "Take, oh. take her to thy care!"-New York Mail and Express.
