DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
Featherstone Giving Ellerbe a Close
 Race in South Carolina.

Columbia, s. C., September 13-In the second democratic primary election today the vote has not been quite so heavy as in the first. Practically 45,00O votes have been accounted fof, and this is fully two- thirds of the vote cast, if not more. Pro- hibition Candidate Featherstone is giving Governor Ellerbe the closest race known here in recent years. The vote stands: Elerbe, 22 ,49S, as against 22 ,299 for Feather stone at a. m, the governor leading by 199 votes only. Friends of both candidates fear the rural districts.
 Cooper leads Tompkins, present secretary of state, for that office by 2,S35 votes; Me Mahon has a lead of 5669 votes over Brown for superintendent of instructions; Floyd beats Blythe for adjutant general by 10000 votes. Railroad Commissioner Thomas is beaten for reelection by MT. Garris, who has a lead of 161SS votes, much greater than Thomas whole vote..

Passenger Train Plunged Through a
 Bri dge Near Texarkana.

Texarkana, Tex, September 13.-A pas senger train on the Texas and Pacific rail- way, consisting of engine and four coaches, plunged through a bridge at a point twelve miles south of Texarkana shortly after noon yesterday. Four persons are reported killed outright and a number of others more or less seriously wounded Physicians and newspaper men have gone from this city to the scene of the wreck on special train to render assistance. The extent of the disaster is not known.
 Heavy rains have been falling in this vicinity for the past thirty-six hours. All streams are out of their banks and much damage has been done. Washouts are re- ported on all roads. The accident was due to high water. A bridge had been weak ened by the heavy rains. When the train sruck the bridge the structure collapsed, precipitating the engine and four cars into the raging waters below The wreck was complete, car after car piling upon each other in a conglomerate mass of debris and wreckage. Four bodies have already been taken from the wreck. The bridge fell with the train and the river was filled with wreckage from both. bridge and train. Great anxiety is felt for the safety of the passengers.

Otis has been gfSen plenary powers to deal with this matter, although as already stated 1t is expected that he will be able to prevent any hostile clash.
 Took a Recess
 After a session lasting nearly two hours and a half today, the cabinet took a recess until 3:30 o'clock this afternoon The situa- tion at Manila was discussed at some length, but the principal business of the meeting was the dScussion of the letter of instructions to be xeven to the commission which will meet in Paris to formulate a treaty of peace with Spain. o Several of the members of the cabinets who were taking their vacations were re- called by the president to attend today $ meeting. T The letter of instructions will not be made public, but it is understood that it is cont prehensive in character and in addition te making plain the general policy of the gov- ernment on all important points, it covers all of the details that can now be foreseen and provided for. It is assumed however, that many quess tions are likely to arise during the delih4 erations of the joint commission upon which the American members will require specific cable instructions from the presis dent. Secretary Day has not yet sent his resig- nation to the president. but no doubt will do so within. a day or two.
 The Second Session
 The cabinet at it's second session today continued the discussion of the instrucA tions to be given the American members of the peace commission. Although the document is practically agreed upon as whole, the matter will be left open until the meeting here of the members or the commission, two days hence, when final revision will be made. It is the president wish, as expressed to the cabinet members, that nothing concerning the instructions be made public. Indeed, so thoroughly did this understanding obtain among the mem- bers of the cabinet that Secretary Day au-

the commission, as the members will sail from New York Saturday on the Campania. They must leave Washington Friday, so that only two days are available to close up their business in Washington.
 It is believed that the president has not finally and definitely concluded upon a line of policy respecting the ippines-wheth- CT they shall be retained or relinquished. He was strongly disposed at the time of the signing of the protocol to acquire noth- ing more than a coaling station perhaps a naval station at most in the Philippines. From the many inquiries he has made of public men and from the notice he has ta- ken of the attitude assumed towards this question by the press of the country, 1t IS inferred that he is still open to conviction as to the best line of policy to be pursued, and it is probable that his principal pur- pose in calling the cabinet meeting today was to gather from the members their per- sonal opinions, which are supposed to be freshly acquired from contact with the peo- ple where they have been, as in the case of Secretary Long and others paying visits to their native states.
 Oppose a Postponement
 One element in the cabinet Is disposed to postpone the final decision on the future of the Philippines, arguing that the mat ter might be safely left to the discretion of the peace commissioners, and pointing out that important developments changing the whole aspect of the question could fairly be expected before the joint com mission had taken up the subject for con- sideraton.
 It is the present disposition to refrain from publishing instructions to the peace commissioners, so 1t is expected probable that only the most general idea will be permitted to leak out. This course is re- garded as absolutely essential in order to prevent the Spanish commissioners from obtaining an advantage in the negotiations.
 The officials at the war and navy de- partments profess to feel more confidence than they have heretofore expressed re-

Washington, September 13.-Secretary Long reached Washington today, having run down~from his New England summer home to meet the presidents wish that there should be full attendance at the cabinet meeting. It is the secretary's ex- pectation, unless something unforeseen de- velops to return almost immediately to his family.
 The purpose of the president in calling for a full attendance at the cabinet meet ing was to submit to the members the in- structions which will be given to the Amer ican peace commissioners. The time is very limited in which to properly charge

The Maine Election

Portland, Me-, September 13.-The returns from the state election are very slow 22S towns out of 4SO having been heard from, and they give Powers, republican, 4O,59I, and Lord, democrat, 22,296
 The same towns in 1894 gave Cleayes, re- publican 50,633 and Johnson, democrat, 22,973
 This shows a republican loss of about 20 per cent and democratic loss of about 4 per cent. Revised figures in the First dis trict, with three small towns missing, show a plurality for Reed of 5,312. His plurality in 1891 was over 5000 In the Second dis trict Burleighs majority is between 7,G0O and 5000.

NOT YET OVER.
General Wheeler Does Not Believe That
 the War is Ended.

Decatur, Ala, September 1S.-General Wheeler in an interview in regard to the war said:
 q do not believe the war is over by any means, neither does President Mckinley, who told me personally he had no faith that the peace commission would settle the differences existing with Spain over the Philippines. The Spanish claim that the battles at Manila were fought after the protocol was signed, and on these lands"
 Continuing, Gen. Wheeler said Spain will want us to give up the Philippines, and," laying emphasis here. I've will never do that I am going back to duty, and really expect to be called into action again."

garding the present situation in the Phil- ippnes. In spite of all the disquieting fes ports that have come of late from news paper sources indicating the existence Of critically strained relations between the fn4 surgents and the American forces of bc- eupation, it is fact that for three days past no word came to either state, navynor war departments from Manila until to- day. That was a message from Admiral Dewey asking authority from the depart ment officers to purchase some fresh beef, which would afford him a supply for three months. The admiral made no mention Of any disturbance. ta.
 Have Faith in Otis zi
 One reason for the confidence felt by the war department officials in peaceable so- lution of the difficulties is their knowledge of the peculiar fitness of Gen. Otis, the American military commander, for the dis charge of just such duties-diplomatic as well as military-as now confronts him The officials are confident that if by dis erection and judgment a clash with the in- surgents can be avoided without losing any of our advantages, Gen. Otis may be safely trusted to exhibit these qualities
 Not much importance is attached here to the Spanish report of the destruction by Spanish gunboats of an insurgent fleet which attempted to make landing on the Vizcaya Islands.
 Gen. Otis has informed the war depart- ment that the insurgent navy consisted of three small coasting vessels carrying an aggregate force of about 240 men, while it was known that the Spanish government had still one or two gunboats concealed somewhere among the myriad of islands in the Philippine group.
 These insurgent vessels started from Manila before the signing of the pro- tocol.
 Insurgents Called Down
 Now the military authorities here after a careful consideration of the question, have concluded that 1t is incumbenut up- on them to compel the insurgents to an observance of the suspension of hostilities agreed upon by the United States and Spain, at least in cases like that in the vicinity of Manila whereby the action of the United States forces, naval and mili- tary, the residents had been deprived of the protection of the Spanish military and naval forces
