AN INTERESTING POINT RAISED.
on Its Result May Depend the
Liberty of James Penrose Carter.

In the Henrico County Court yesterday
the case of William Brown, the negro
charged with placing tie across the
track of the Richmond and Seven Pines
railroad with a view 10 wrecking a car
thereon, was called for trial. but Mr.. VIII
Ian H. Beyeridge counsel for the de-
fence. entered plea in abatement, set
ting forth that the Commemorative At
torney entered the srand-jury room while
that body was in session. and that hence
the indictment on which the prisoner was
arraigned was invalidated. The Court
took time 10 consider the plea, and in the
mean time the case goes over until the
next term.
The plea is not new one. the same
point having been raised in this State be-
FORE since the Legislature made 1t un-
lawful for the Commemorative attorney
To enter the grand-jury room save as
sworn witness. MIR. Sands did enter the
room while II was occupied by the grand
Jury summoned for this term OF the
court, but he went there then. II IL said
as a sworn witness TO testify concerning
the Carter case.
The plea that Mr.. Beveridge raised may
however have it's effect In the Carter
ease. The man who shot and killed
Charles r. Moore is defended by astute
lawyers. and II Mr.. Beveridge is sustained
by the County Court IL Is highly proDape
that a similar plea will be entered Ia the
Carter ease.

Philippines.

PARIS, October 7.-Felipe Agoncillo,
the representative Of Aguinaldo. the in
surgent leader of the Philippine Islands,
was interviewed to-day by the correspond
ent here Of the Associated Press. Ago1-
cillo's apartments at the Hotel Cont
mental are on the same floor as the rooms
occupied by the United States peace COM
missioners He is DESTROYS Of seeing the
commission and explaining Aguinaldo' )
views OF the future Of the Philippines to
our commissioners.
Would the Filipinos accept annexation
to or protectorate Of the United States"'
Agoncllo was asked.
He answered: 1--WE want independence.
but the Fiipinos have an organized gov
eminent, Of which Aguinaldo is president
and it will determine our attitude toward
a protectorate or annexation"
should the United states take all or
any portion Of the Philippines. would the
Fnipinos fight the United States as they
have fought spain?"
II cannot answer without possible err
ror; but / think it would be unwise for
the United States 10 divide the Philippine
Islands. They should take all or none"
WOULD STILL FIGHT SPANISH.
IF the United States gives up the
Philippine Islands, will the Fiiipinos con-
tnue 10 fight the SPANISH"
II think So"
Us IT true that the Ftlpinos do not OBJ
ject to the continuance OF the native
priests -
YES: but the religious ordera should
be abolished"
Agoncillo. contrary 10 the generally ac-
cepted version Of his visit 10 the United
States and elsewhere, says he has not
come here 10 seek d hearing before the
commission, but 10 learn the determina-
ton Of the commissioners regarding the
Philippine Islands, and TO communicate
IL 10 Aguinaldo. Agoncillo, thus far. has
not communicated with our commission.
and the Spanish commission, while I'M
willing, naturally, 10 summon Agoncillo.
is anxious TO know what representations,
II any, he will make 10 the Americans.

Secretary Lawless. under the law, can
not make public the names of those VINO

candidates have sent in their names and
IL may be that others will do so before

II has been reported that Jones, the
negro candidate in the Fourth District,
would not send in his name, but he did
so nearly three weeks ago.
Mr.. Thomas b. Iyey, Of Petersburg.

versation, expressed the opinion that

exaggerated.
