bans who were escorting the body of j.
Solelango, a victim of the riot Saturday
night, and some of the Spanish employees

Yates fired upon the procession, the win
dows of the hearse being broken and bull
lets striking the "offin, knives and pis-

Confederates Cheered Mckinley.

His Remarks at Atlanta Wednesday in
Regard to Graves of Soldiers Greeted
with wild Cheers.
President Mckinley made q notable
speech at the opening Of the peace Jubilee
at Atlanta wednesday before a joint SEES
sion OF the Georgia legislature There was
impressive silence when he said
Every soldiers grave made during the
civil war is tribute to American valor.
and while when these graves were made
we differed widely about the future of the
government, those differences were long
ago settled by the arbitrament of arms
and the time has now come in the evolu-
ton OF sentiment and feeling under the
providence of God, when in this, the spirit
of fraternity, We should share with you in
the care of the graves of the Confederate
soldiers"
wild cheer went up from every throat
in the typical southern audience, a cheer
that echoed and reached through the
chamber until it was taken up by he
crowds outside.
Old men who fought for the South rose
from their seats and waved their hats
| One Confederate veteran, now a venerable
legislator, had passed forward until he was
leaning against the speakers desk, hang
ing on each word the President uttered.
When the reference was made to the Con-
federate dead this old man buried his head
in his arms and, while cheers rang out,
cried like a little child. OF all the many
conciliatory speeches which have been
made since Grant said "Let there be
peace" nothing has more deeply stirred a
southern audience than the simple words
of President Mckinley.

Want 100000 OOO

There is great irritation at Madrid at
the continued refusal of the Filipinos TO
release the Spanish prisoners, who are
said to exceed ten thousand in number.
The insurgents are now demanding that
Spain pay as ransom for these prisoners
the $40, 900, 900 which she is to receive, ac-
cording to the terms of the peace treaty,
from the United States as compensation
for money expended in the betterment OF
the Philippine Islands.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1898-12-16

The Philippines are ours by right OF
conquest. Spain owned them, and our
forces captured them in the legitimate
operations of war. In holding them, our
country magnanimously offers to pay Spain
public improvements she has made in The
islands. Compare that transaction with
the terms Germany gave to France after
war not very much longer than our war
with Spain Boston Herald.

There is general rejoicing here that the
house had the good sense to kill the So
called referendum bill. The law against
the establishment of "Drunkard Factories

the best laws we have. Long may it abide
as safeguard for our homes and families
If our legislature thinks it is its specia
duty to tear in pieces and destroy every
good law we have on our statutes, it seem:
to us they have greatly missed their call
