PA, THUKSDAY EVENING. MAT 11. Meets and EzpressDS a Strong Desire For Peace. TffiEBE T7AS EO QTT02TJM PBESEST owj the Coneress Transacted Some Present Wore Mostly Partisans of Aenlualdo. Coiisldnrlnir Provincial Constitution from the insurgent line, which, bow- ever, bnve not bsea confirmed, say that a meeting of the Filipino congress lias been hcid at San Isldro.

There was no quorum present, but in spite of this fact gome business was transacted. The reports cdd that although those who attended were mostly partisans Aguinaldo, a strong desire for peace expressed. Major General MacArthnr will prob-1 ably remain at San Fernando until fresh troops can be forwarded to liini from this city to replace some of the volunteers, who have become exhausted from the lone campaign. Filipino rifiemen to the number of 8,000 are entrenched on throe sides of Bacolor. The Americans, however, are folly able to bold the city, if Monday's attack was a specimen of the enemy's fighting ability.

The United States Philippine commission hns been considering a provincial constitution for the Island of Negros. -which was framed by Colonel Smith and leading natives. It is largely modeled after the constitution of California. While it has many good points, the commission will probably recommend a uniform government for ull the provinces. This constitution, it is intended, will give the natives self government, co-operating the military regime.

Work upon the constitution has been apportioned to the several mcml'ers of the Philippine commission. The report of President Echurman will give special attention to national, provincial and municipal government. Colonel Charles Denby will consider the organization of courts and Professor D. C. Worcester will investigate tribal, physical and commercial features of the islands.

All tho members of the commission are consulting with resident experts. AX EFFICIENT SIUNA1. CORPS. How tlm Telecrapli lint. Aldod Our Philippine f'onimnudors.

Washington, Grecly has received a report, dated March 4, from the chief signal ofucer at Manila, ehowlng what the signal corps has done during the early days of the.cam- palcn. During military operations lines were constructed in every direction. Where they passed through thickly settled native they were often cut, and communication was carried on by a system of rockets and other sicnals until they could be repaired. As the troops were advanced tho telegraph wires -were carried forward-with great celerity. Something of the use of the wire in fiald operations may be judged from the fact that the number of messages handled on the preceding the battle of Feb.

5. was, 615 aid on the flay of that action 1120 were transmitted. Upon the day the report to General Greely was written 12C3 messages were handled, wltn total of S0.5S4 for the preceding month. The report states that it is possible to reach any command, depot, outpost or individual line from.29 different telegraph offices, the only delay being conscyuent on the great volume of business and the necessity for precedence in order of Importance. letter From Soldier Son Sumner Shiner, of 1221 Forge street, on Wednesday received letter from his Km, James, aged 18 years, who recently in tbe United States army and "now stationed at Presidio barracks, California.

Private Shiner writes interestingly of his trip across the country the belief that bii depart- on for the Pbttippnwrwill not occur for raphers, will leave on tbe fljerthis evening for Harriebnrg, where be will remain until tbe ceremonies are over, and will act in the capacity of quartermaster sergeant of the Third brigide.

Only nine churches cf tbat denomination have such choirs, and many of the old members of the Trinity congregation do not like tbe innovation. At a congregational meeting a member offered a resolution deprecating the action of tbe chnrcb council "to foist upon the church tbe pomp and vanity of a vested choir, and by tbe vestments and processions mar tbe devotional simplicity of tbe orthodox Lutheran church." This was voted down but the matter is not settled yet Seeing; la We do not allow our Cloths to become old or shelf-worn.

Graud Forkp, N. May 5 of the most peculiar divorce cases that has ever attracted interest in this etate came to a cloee when Judge Fifk granted an absolute divorce to Oliver Simmons from bis wife, Eleanor Fulton Simmons. He claimed that Sept 19,1898, at Lebanon, he was forced to to marry.mach against bis will, the young lady being Mies Eleanor Fulton.

At that time be was just 20 years of age, while the woman was past 30. He was attending the Lebanon business the while at a public boarding house with bis father. Upon returning home one evening be was astounded to find tbe young lady sitting in Me room. When he asked what brought her there she replied that she was theee for tbe purpose of compelling him to marry her, and that if he refused she would kill him and then commit suicide hereelf. He refused, whereupon she got down on her knees before him, threatening, coercing and demanding for over two hours.

Finally, from simple fright, the youth consented and tbe ceremony was performed. The girl was from Philadelphia, and to that city she returned immediately. The plantiff avers that be never lived with her a- single hour, and that he afterward received a letter from ber in which she stated tbat the had acted crazy and was not in the possession of her senses on tbat eventful day in his life's history. On tbe above complaint a divorce was granted and the boy departed for his home in the East. The above despatch appeared in the BL Minn "Pioneer Press," of a recent date and quite a romantic story is connected with it.

At their special request the names of the ministers, boarding boose keeper and others are withheld. Oliver Simmons is a son of Mr. and Mre. John Simmons, who resided bore until some years ago wben they separated, Mrs. Simmons going to Philadelphia and taking the children with ber.

Simmons remained here and now boards at the Colonial hotel. la Philadelphia young Simmous met Mies Eieauor Fnltcnand an attachment sprang np between them. Alter tbe lapse of about a year the father of young Simmons induced him to come to Lebanon and take a course at the Business college. While attending this college be fell in love with Mies Jessie Fleming, of Sal til lo, Huntingdon county, and before long they became enamored of each other. They boarded at tbe tame place- and were together 'a great deal.

Some one informed Miss Fulton of these tbings and one evening she arrived at the boarding house, wheie she learned tbat young Simmons and Miss Fulton were boarding. She remained over night at that pines. Next day Oliver Simmons appeared at tbe office cf the marriam license clerk and requested a marriage license for himself and Hut Fulton, representing under, oath tbat he was 21 and the lady 22 years of age. Tbe pair then went to a minister -at whose church young Sim-1 mocs was a regular attendant. Simmons explained that he and Mies Fulton bad been eneszed over a jeir; that certain stories were being ciicuiattd about him, and in order to put a atop to them he desired tbat they be married.

An aunt of young Simmons was present at the wedding'. The minister is positive that Miss Fulton did not exert any undue influence over young Simmons and spoke of her as being an excellent, modest, refined young woman. After this Simmons and Miss Fleming continued their lovemaking and their conduct became such tbat tbe principal of the business college ordered them to stay away and the boarding bouse keeper refused to lodge them any longer. Miss Fleming then left for Philadelphia, wben she secured a lucrative position. Nothing more was 'beard of young Simmons after bis departure from this place until the above despatch appeared.

While inquiring into this casa was learned tbat on M9nday Oliver mons and Jessie Fleming were marriage license by a clerk in phia and the probability is that they are 4 married now or will be soon. The minister who had taken an interest in young Simmons it disgusted with his conduct, but has a high regard for Miss Fulton, who evidently has been grossly misrepresented. Jay M. Shindel, has been acting as counsel for Mrs. Fulton Simmons in this city.
