a ma jority of Il. 9O2 over all the other can

of the soldier vote, of which Stanley re-
ceived 149, 443; Leedy, 1885, sos; PETER, 4006;

The soldier vote will swell the total num-

HOAR TAKES HIS STAND
squarely Against Paying Money for
the Philippines.

Worcester, Mass, Nov. Ex-senator
HOar announced himself today as posi-
lively opposed to the acquisition of the
Philippines by the United States In
communication to the Gazette, he says:
I'VE have not so far, any news which
is absolutely trustworthy of what they
are doing in Paris. But if the report Is
true that it is proposed to buy of Spain
the sovereignty of the Philippine is
lands and to pay $50, 100000 for it, do
not believe that such a treaty will be
agreed to and I don't believe it ought
to be agreed to. Spain has very little
sovereignty in the Philippines to sell
just now, and I do not think the people
of the United States are in the market
to buy sovereignty just now, or that the
constitution has conferred on anybody
the right to buy any such COMMODITY
The constitution was framed upon the
theory that sovereignty is not salable.
The people of the United States have
conferred upon nobody the power to
make such purchases in their behalf.
We have acquired territory either va
cant or so sparsely settled that there
were no people capable of governing 1t
and no germ of a national life. We
have also in one recent case, acquired
a territory where the original germ of
national life had persisted. But neither
of these presidents applies to the Phil
ippine archipelago, with its millions OF
inha bitantS."

UPHOLDS CURTIS LAW.
Judge Thomas of the U. S. Court Sus-
tains It's Constitutionality.

Muskogee, I. T, Nov. 3O.-Judge John
r. Thomas, in the United States court
here held, that. in the case of March
Chisholm. a Creek Indian. charged with
the killing of another Greek Indian
named Caesar Wolf, that congress had
the right to pass any laws that it saw
fit in reference to the political rights of
the Indians, and that the part of the
Curtis act taking away the jurisdiction
of the Indian courts and comforting
power on the United States courts was
constitutional. Before the passage of
the Curtis act, when one Indian killed
another, he was tried in the Indian
courts, but now he will be tried in the
United States courts. This decision is
of great Importance both to Indians
and whites. This is the first case of
the kind to be tried. After the court
had rendered it's opinion, Chisholm
was placed on trial for murder. Coun-
sci for defense claimed that, under the
treaty of 1866. the Indian courts had
Jurisdiction, and that the defendant
should be tried in the Indian courts and
not by the United States courts.

ALTON DEALIS OFF.
President Blackstone Withdraws the
OPTION on His Stock.

Chicago. Nov 3O.-Negotiations for
the purchase of a controlling interest of
the Chicago & Alton by a syndicate
headed by President Stillwell of the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf road
have been dropped for the present
President Blackstone of the Alton is
said to have withdrawn the option he
had given, announced that his stock is
no longer for sale, and advised his
friends not to sell. Most of the large
stockholders in the Alton will be guild
ed by his advice.
President Blackstone, it is said, op-
poses the sale because he thinks the
StiIlwen syndicate would manipulate
the road for speculative purposes, while
it is his earnest desire, if he does relin-
quish control of the road, that it should
be managed as carefully and honestly
in the future as it has been in the past.
If the Vanderbilts should make a rea-
sOnabIe offer for the road President
Blackstone might be induced to part
with his holdings and advise his friends
to do likewise.
