WILL TAKE TIE WHOLE THING
The Philippine Islands Must Fall to
America.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Advices
from Paris are to the effect that there
is no change in the peace commission
situation.
The determination seems to have
been reached by the United States
government to retain ali of the Philip
pine islands. and the controversy, il
any, will be over the allowance to
Spain for the islands. This feature
of the case is now being carefully con-
sidered by the administration in
Washington and by the American
commissioners in Paris.
President Mckinley is convinced
there is no way in which the United
States can escape responsibility of
taking all the Philippines. He has
arrived at the conclusion after mature
deliberation. When the Americ an
commissioners left for Paris it was not
contemplated that they sh ould demand
of the Spanish more than absolute ces-
sion of one island to the United States
and a revisionary interest in the other
islands of the group.
1t has been found, however, that.
there were many practical difficulties
10 the way of such a solution, not the |
east of them being the evident impos-
'ibility of Spain's re-establishing au-
,hority over the remaing islands with
out prolonged and bloody struggle
with the insurgent forces.

PARIS, Oct. 3l.-At meeting of the
peace commission today the Ameri
cans presented written expression Of
the purpose of the United States to
take the entire group of the Philippine
islands and to assume such proportion
of the Philippine debt as has been
spent for the benefit of the islands in
public works, improvements and per-
manent betterments. 1t was also set
forth that the United States would not
assume any part of the Philippine
debt which had been incurred by Spain
for the furtherancc of military or naval
operations to quell the instructions
OF the natives. The session, which
lasted little oyer an hour, adjourned
until Friday, in order to give the Span
iards time to prepare reply.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Mckinley Relieves Himself of Some Cam
paign Thunder in Announcing the Day.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-On Satur-
day President Mckinley issued the
following Thanksgiving proclamation:
"By the President of the United
States-A Proclamation: The ap-
preaching November brings to mind
the customs of our ancestors, hallowed
by time and rooted in our most sacred
traditions, of giving thanks to AL
mighty God for all the blessings he
has vouchsafed to US during the past
year.
Stew years in our history have af-
forded such cause for thanksgiving.
We nave been blessed by abundant
harvests, our trade and commerce
have been wonderfully increased, our
public credits have been improved and
strengthened, all sections of our coun-
try have been brought together and
knitted into closer bond of national
purpose and unity.
"The skies have been for time
darkened by the cloud of war, but as
we were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause of humanity, we
are permitted to rejoice that the con-
f1ict has been of brief duration, and the
losses we have had to mourn, though
grevious and important have been so
few, considering the great results ac-
complished, as to inspire US with graft
tude and praise to the Lord of Hosts.
We may laud and magnify his holy
name that the cessation of hostilities
came so soon as to spare both sides the
countless sorrows of protracted war.
81 do, therefore, invite all my fellow.
citizens, those at home as we'll as those
who may be at sea or sojourning in
foreign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday. the oath day of Novembe
as day of national thanksgiving, to
come together in their several places
of worship for service of praise and
thanks to Almighty God for the bless
ings OF the year, the mlldness OF the
seasons and the fruitfulness of the
soil; for the continued prosperity of
the people; for the devotion and valor
of our countrymen; for the glory of
our victory and the hope of righteous
peace, and to pray that the divine
guidance which has brought us here
L
graciously continued in the years to
come. In witness whereof. etc.

have passed there FIVE days before.
He has not yet reached Wrangle, and
it is hoped to effect his arrest there

PLEAD GUILTY TO MURDER
Green Confesses That He and Branton
Killed Linn

Killed Linn
EUGENE. Or, Nov. IA highly
sensational denouement to the John
Linn murder case occurred today when
Courtland Green, jointly indicted with
Claude Branton for the crime, pleaded
guilty to a charge, of murder In the
first degree. Green has agreed to
testify against Branton at II o'clock
tomorrow forenoon, at the latter's
trial, which began yesterday.
Green will be sentenced next Mon
day.
The first intimation that Linn had
been murdered came, it will be- re-
memberea in. a story told by Green to
the authorities of Lane county, to the
effect that Branton and Green were
coming across the Cascade mountains
with Linn, with band of horses last
June. Linn and Branton had trouble
over settlement while camping at
Squaw creek, Crook county. They ar
rived at Alder springs June Is and
corraled their horses. Linn lay down
by the fire. Green said that soon after
while he was getting wood, he heard
the report of pistol. He looked
around, and saw Branton standing
over Linn with smoking revolver.
Linn was shot through the head.
An examination of the scene of the
killing showed that Linn's b)dy was
chopped to pieces aud carefully Gre
mated. A coroner's jury accused
Branton of the murder. Branton dis
appeared ami no clew to his where
abouts could be obtained, although
reward of $3.50 was offered for his
capture, until he was arrested on the
streets of Eugene ON July 20. He then
disclaimed any knowledge OF the
crime, declaring that he did not know
that he was wanted until few min
utes before his arrest. He said that
after he left the scene of the crime he
went as far east as Topeka, Kan, in
search of work, but finding none, re-
turned home. He was indicted by the
Lane county grand jury for murder in
the first degree.
At the preliminary examination
Green was bound over to the grand
jury on a charge of being an accessory
to a felony, but later evidence was
secured duplicating him in the mur-
der, and he was indicted on the same
charge as Branton.
Later-The court decided to have
Green come on the stand at IL o'clock
this morning, and shortly after
Branton broke down and cried like a
baby.

War With England and

LONDON, Oct. 31.-There was an un-
expectedly gloomy feeling this morn
ing on the stock exchange and the
Paris bourse. both markets being
influenced. it is inferred from the
aggressive tone of some of the French
papers. Besides this something extra
ordinary seems to have happened and
it looks as if crisis was approaching.
The British naval preparations are
being pushed with great activity. The
British emergency squadron is gather
ing at Davenport with all possible
speed and seven battle-ships and one
cruiser so far have been designated to
join the squadron. The officers and
sailors have been hurriedly recalled
from leave of absence, several battle
ships and cruisers at Portsmouth are
taking full crews on board, and othor
warlike preparations are being made.
A number of signalmen now on duty
with the British channel squadron,
which arrived at Gibraltar this morn
ing, have been ordered home for SER
vice. +
It was asserted today that officers of
the volunteer had received orders to
prepare for immediate mobilization,
and it was stated that the different
army corps had been informed as to
the ports on the southern and western
coasts to which they have been allotted.
The Pail Mall Gazette this after
noon says: "EnglaueHhas bf and

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

With a good working majority in both
branches of the next Legislature the Re-
publicans will be able to enact such legis-
lation as they may see fit. They can shape
the entire record of the session, and will be
responsible to the people for what is done
and what is left undone. 1t is to be hoped
that when the body convenes it will develop
a more patriotic spirit and more regard for
the general welfare, irrespective of party or
politics. than some previous legislatures of
both parties have done. For it must be
confessed that our legislatures have not al
ways shown a high sense of responsibility
to the people or keen appreciation of the
fact that he serves his party best who serves
his State best. Recent events have made
Indiana conspicuous among the States of the
Union for healthy politics and progressive
legislation, and it will be the duty of the
Legislature to maintain and, if possible,
enhance the estimation in which the State
is now held throughout the country. The
recent election was a splendid vote of con-
fidence in the Republican party and indorse-
ment of its administration of the national
and state governments. 1t will rest largely
with the Legislature to say whether this
vote, so far as Indiana is concerned was
deserved, and whether it shall be repeated
The time is opportune to pave the way for
a repetition of the recent verdict. The Re-
publican majority is an unusually large one
for either party to have in this State, either
in an "off year. or any other. 1t is so large
as to lead many to say that Indiana is no
longer a doubtful State, but safely and per-
manently Republican. That depends In a
vote of more than 100000 it does not take
much of a change in public sentiment or
much shifting of political currents to wipe
out a majority of $4,000 The Legislature
could easily do it by reckless or unwise leg
slation. by praeticing peanut politics." by
enacting laws for partisan advantage by
making a record for extravaganza, by sub
ordinating the public welfare to party or
personal ends-in short, it might do many
things that would lead the people to reverse
the verdict of last week. On the other
hand, it can make a record that will cause
the people to felicitate themselves on the
result of the recent election and repeat it
two years hence. To do this will require
wise leadership intelligent following and
strict adherence to high standard of pub
hoped that every Republican member of
either house will be controlled entirely by
these motives
