his statement that his reelection was
assured, and his offer of $40. 600 reward
for the conviction of any person Of
fering bride to member of the legfS-
Ilature for his vote for United States
senator.
Mr.. Wanamaker says Senator Quay
has interpreted the result of the recent
election as his personal triumph and
vindication, while the truth is, the re-
cent election is a most significant re-
Duke and defeat of Senator Quay and
all he represents
The eX-postmaster general says that
though Quay's candidate for governor
was elected, he received a minority of
the votes cast for the Office, and, what
is more significant" he continued, lat
least 155 of the 254 members of the
next legislature are pledged to vote
against Senator Quay"
After styling Senator Quay's nanifes-
to as "the eXultant yell of a political
boss" Mr.. Wanamaker notifies the
senator that the contest against his
domination is rot ended, and reiterates
his purpose of carrying en- the contest
until Quays rule and his methods are
exterminated from the politics OF the
state
Mr.. Wanamaker closes his address
with an offer of $4,000 for information
that will secure the conviction of any
one who corruptly gives or offers to
give, directly or indirectly, to any
member of the general assembly, any
money, appointment to office, or thing
of value, to secure the vote of such
member for any person for the office
of United States senator, or informa-
ton that will lead to the conviction of
any member corruptly receiving any
money, appointment to office, or other
valuable things, for the vote for United
States senator"
Mr.. Wanamaker adds that this offer
will continue in force for a year after
the election of United States senator,
and that he will pay all costs of prose-
cution in any case coming within the
public view of the offer.

Wilmington, N. c., Nov 12.-Wil-
mington is rapidly settling down to it's
normal quietude. There has been no
further clash between the races. The
new city government is exerting every
effort to reassure the negroes so that
they will resume their labors at the cot
ton congresses and shipping wharves
The mayor this morning sent negro
messengers through the woods ada

Her Sovereignty Over PHILIPPINES
\ Was Reserved From Discussion.
Paris, Nov. 12.-spain has held, and
aeEsy still insist. that she effectually re-
/ served her Philippine sovereignty from
discussion or disturbance by the Unit
ed States in a note from Duke Almo-
dovar de Rio, the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs, to Judge Day, the then
United States secretary of state, dated
Madrid. on Aug. Z. 1t is by this mes
sage that Spain presumably accepted
the terms of peace, which, at SPANS
request, had been set forth by Presi-
dent Mckinley, through Secretary Day
under date of July 30. And it is by
this message Of Duke de Rio and by
the response Of Secretary Day that
Spain seeks TO prove to the United
States people commission and to the
tribunal of nations that SPANS sover-
eighty over the Philippine Islands was
reserved from any discussion here, and
without protest from the United States.
In the letter in question Duke Almo-
doVar de Rio says Spain did not de-
clare war, ana only engaged in it to
defend her rights. He acknowledges
the necessity Of SPANS quitting the
island of Cuba, and says she will do So
Continuing, he says: The United
States require as an indemnity for or
equivalent to the sacrifices they have
borne during this short war, the ces-
sion of Puerto Rico and other islands
now under the sovereignty of Spain in
the West Indies. and also the cession
Of islands in the Ladrones, to be Sc
lected by the federal government
This demand strips US of the very
last memory Of the glorious past and
expels us at once from the prosperous
island of Puerto Rico and from the
western hemisphere, which became
peopled and civilized through the proud
n deeds of our ancestors. 1t might. per-
haps, have been possible to compensate
by some other cession for the injuries
sustained by the United States. How
ever, the inflexibility of the demand
obliges us to cede, and we shall cede,
the island of Puerto Rico and other
islands belonging TO the crown of
Spain in the West Indies, together with
other islands Of the archipelago of the
Ladrones, to be selected by the Ameri-
can government.

at banquet rendered him tonight by

Chauncey NJ. DeDew, president Of the

Mr.. Roosevelt spoke at length, his re-

state questions. He said, in part:
We met every state issue We met
every national issue. But whatever be
the stand of the opposition on the sill
yer question, he must be the seventh

In national matters we also stand
