For or Against Mckinley
Minneapolis Messenger: Mr. \

Minneapolis Messenger: Mr.. Vim
cent has pever lost an opportunity
during the two years he has repre-
scented this district in congress to vote
against the administration whenever
there has been enough opposition to
secure a roll call. II you desire to
continue that policy OF obstruction,
II this is your sentiment, vote cast
for Mr.. Vincent will be a vote cast
against Mr.. Mckinley and all meas
ures which he has in view and which
have been directed toward an in
crease Of business and prosperity and
the honor OF the country at home and
abroad. II, on the other hand, you
believe that Mr.. Mckinley should be
sustained, II you are in sympathy
with his policy, you can not voteIfor
anyone but Mr.. Calderhead and in so
doing cast your ballot for Mr.. Nc
Kinley. This is the only way you
can do IT. this is the only way you
can show where you stand; your vote
for congressman is either for Mr.. Nc
Kinley or it is against him. The
record Of both men on this question
is made and no promises or equivoca-
tons can deceive man who favors
Mckinley into voting for Mr.. Vincent
or man who opposes Mckinley into
voting for Mr. Calderhead. No per-
sonal grievance against Mr.. Calder
head will excuse a man for casting
his vote for Mr.. Vincent and in so do
ing vote against national policy
which he believes to be right and for
the best interest Of the country;
neither will Mr.. Vncent's personal
acts influence man to vote for Mr..
Calderhead II he believes that Mr..
Vincent's policy Of obstruction is the
best thing for the country and that
Mr.. McKinley's administration is
wrong. The issue is clear cut and
drawn. On one side is Mckinley with
the Republican party, the war Demo.

other are his critics and his abusers.

sued by the nine white officers recently

to the companies there has existed feel

by officers of their own race.
This morning the regiment was called
for drill at the usual hour and the white
officers assumed command. The negroes
refused to execute the drills and stated
that the presence of white officers was the.
cause. The Off carsr th linking that it was
a momentary complaint, sent their COM

had just arrived. 1t was evident that
serious trouble was in order If the riotous

therefore at once ordered the 31st Aich1-
gan and the sixth Ohio regiments to the
scene. These regiments were under arms,
but the Ohio boys were turned back De-
fore reaching the camp. Col. Kuert and
Col. Croxton and also Major johnson, Q
oolored officer of the regiment addressed
the men. They explained that such action
was in direct violation of the military
laws and was punished by death and that
a continuance of the same would bring
the regiment into most unfortunate dis
favor. They assured the men that COM
plant if such they felt they rightfully
had, should be forwarded to the governor
of Virginia and they were assured that
such complaint sent through the proper
channels would receive attention from all
officers concerned. Col. Croxton de-
manded obedience and stated emphatical-

suit in rigid enforcement of the discipline
covering such cases. The Michigan regi-
ment which had appeared Upon the scene
in double time and which was armed Tor

the negroes agreed tosend their complaints

Washington, November 2.-The critical
condition of affairs between France and
Great Britain is exciting lively interest
among members of the diplomatic corps
here, and on some of the phases Of the
controversy their information appears
to be more exact than that coming from
Paris and London. The dispatches today
attached much Significance to the ab-
sence of Baron Courcel, the French am.
bassador, from London, and it..was stated
that France would show her animosity
by not continuing an ambassador at Lon
don.
At the leading embassies here. there is
little idea that the Fashoda affair will
lead to war, although there is a very gem
eral opinion that the Egyptian situation
in general may lead to a conflict in which
other European countries than France
and Great Britain may take part.

GERMAN PAPERS UNFRIENDLY.
Criticise Course of Administration Regar-

Crit.cise Course of Administration hegar-
ding Philippines,
London, November 2.-The Berlin
correspondent of the Standard says:
Russia and another power are credited
| with the intention of intimating to Wash
ington that the annexation of the Philip
pines must be preceded by common
agreement on future action in certain
circumstances.
The German papers express their feel
ings very frankly. The Hamburg Isehe
Correspondent says:
"The United States are conducting the
peace negotiations as they conducted the
| war. The mask of humanity is being
gradually dropped; revealing the brutal
signed, not foot of Philippine soil was
| in American hands. President Mckinley
demands the complete surrender only
because victory in the forthcom ing
elections depends upon it. The American
demand, however, is less blow to spain
| than to the European powers which seem
desirous of selecting naval stations In the
Philippines.
The Boersen Courier admits that the
powers have no cause for interfering, but
urges them to watch American expansion
| with jeasous oyss.
The National Zeitung says: "If Spain
can obtain compensation sufficient to
| cover the Philippine and Cuban debts,
she would be better off without the
islands. Looking to the commercial and
strategical value of the Philippines we
should not be surprised at resistance on
the part of some of the powers. Moreover,
it is evident that the Inhabitants will not
calmly aouiesce in American annexa-
tion.
The Frankfurter Zeitung thinks that
after the elections the American commits
sioners are likely to make some conces-
sions, since the chief question Is rather
how to conquer the Philippines from the
Inhabitants than how to overcome Spain s
resistance"
