TROUBLE NOT YET OVER.
North Carolina Negroes Threaten to
Put Up n Ticket and Demo-
Gratis Are Furious.

WILMINGTON. n. c., Oct. 31.-Notwith-
standing the more peaceful outlook which
prevailed for the past two days. the feeling
of unrest begins to show itself again to-
night. There is disquieting rumor that
the negroes are seriously considering the
question of running 4 county ticket, re-
gardless of the wishes of Governor Rus
sell.
The unexpected arrival of Governor Rus
sell this evening gives rise to the hope
among conservative people that Russell
has heard of the movement of the negroes
to place q county ticket in the field. and
has come here to suppress it If possible.
There is little doubt that II q Republican
ticket is brought out for county officers, the
situation here will become more serious
than ever. The Democrats have carried out
their part of the arrangement made with
the governor by changing their candidates
for the lower house of the legislature, and
they are. furious over the talk Of another
county ticket.
An editorial in the negro paper the Rec
ord. of this afternoon. is considered a posi-
tive indication that the negroes do not con-
slider the question of a county ticket final
ly settled.

PEOPLE DECIDED 1T.
Demand for Philippines Was in Rec
ognitiOn of Popular Sentiment
in AmeriCn

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31-The advices
from Paris to the effect that the United
States commissioners have demanded the
cession to the United States of the entire
Philippine group is in line with the instruc-
tons that have been issued to the repre-
sentatives Of the United States. Up to
a very recent date, the United States COM
missioners had no precise instructions on
this vital point.
OF course, before they departed from
Washington. much consideration had been
given to this important subject by the
president, Secretary Day, Assistant Secre-
tary Moore and the members of the COM
mission. But there was a lack of data as
to the financial and political affairs of the
Philippines. and so it happened that when
the United States commissioners sailed they
were not committed beyond change to any
line of policy.
A majority of their number leaned toward
Il restriction of the demands TO be put forth
as to the Philippines, varying all the way
from the retention of Manila bay and the
immediate surrounding country, to the ac-
quisition of the whole island of Luzon.
That represented about the extreme de-
mand that was in mind when the commits
sion left.
But since that time the president has be-
come convinced that there is a great pop
| ular demand for the annexation TO the
United States of the whole Philippine
| group and he is disposed to defer TO that
| sentiment. Besides, there is ground 10 be
| lieve that, in an unofficial manner, possibly
| through informal communication with
Agoncillo Agunaldo's agent at Paris, or,
perhaps. through some direct dealing be
! tween that chieftain and Admiral Dewey,
| the United States commissioners have sat
| isfied themselves that the difficulties in
| the way of annexation. so far as they
| might be expected to depend upon the Will
| of the natives, have been very much eAag-
gerated.
| If this be so. then there has been re-
| moved as a factor in the calculations one
of the most disturbing elements. for 1t
could scarcely be contemplated with
| equanimity that our government, after
| having expelled the Spaniards. should Will
| inglv be placed in the position of attempt-
| inc RI GOVERN an unwilling DeOple.

STAY AWAY FROM PORTO RICO.
That Is the Advice Consul Hanna
Gives to Americans Seeking
IpcafiOus

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.-The following
report from Mr.. Hanna. American consul
at Porto Rico. has been received by the
assistant secretary of state and will be
of interest TO persons contemplating migra-
ton to that island. In his report Mr..
Hanna says:
Il am convinced that young men seeking
work or positions of any kind should not
come to Porto Rico. Such persons as
clerks. carpenters. mechanics and labor
ers of all grades should stay away from
Porto Rico. No American should come
to Porto Rico expecting to strike ii rich.
and no persons should come here without
plenty of money to pay board bills and
have enough to take them back to their
homes in the United States. This is a
small island, has a population of about
100000 people, and is the most densely
populated country in the world There are
several hundred thousand working Porto
Ricans ready to fill the vacant jobs and
at low price. There may come a time
after the laws of the United States are
applied by congress to this island, that
this will be good place for American
capital and for Americans to do business.
but even then a man should have plenty
of money who expects to make business
success in Porto Rico / deem it important
that the department cause this suggestion
| to be made public through the newspa
pers. of the country.

FILIPINos AT THE CAPITAL.
First Great Aim Is the Termination
of Spanish SoVarefanty.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The reports from
Manila that Aguinaldo would to-day hold
grand ceremony and proclaim the re-
public of the Philippines, with himself at
the head, has not been made known to
Agoncillo, head of the Philippine de,ega-
ton here. He said to-day, through his
secretary and interpreter, Mr.. Lopez, that
reports of more or less important charac-
ter had come to them ever since they had
landed, but that they were without official
verificatlon as to any of these steps, and
this largely accounted for their inactivity,
as they desired to know exactly what res
olutions and policies had been adopted by
the Philippine Congress. They looked for
a cable at any time, in response to inqui-
ries, which would show just what the
present status of affairs was.
Senator Gambler of New Hampshire, who
Is taking a personal interest in the Philip
pine question, and Gen. Greene, who ac-
eompanied Agoncillo on his trip here, had
a long conference with him to-day. Sena-
tor Gambler said afterward that there was
no doubt the President would receive the
delegation, the delay being due to the de-
sire of the delegates to get full informa-
tion on the condition of affairs at home
When asked TO sum up the desires of
the Philippine delegates Mr.. Chandler
said: THE first and most essential purpose
is TO have the treaty at Parls-the final
treaty which VIII stand for all time-con-
tain an article terminating absolutely the
sovereignty of Spain over the Philippines.
1t is not alone the termination of Spanish
sovereignty over the island of Luzon, or
Manila. that they desire, but the end of
Spanish rule over the entire group of
islands.
The disappearance of Spanish rule In
the Philippines being assured, the next
purpose of the Filipuos as l gather from
their delegates, is to have an opportunity
TO try their capacity of self-government.
under American protection if need be, dur
ing the transition period, or, if that seems
inexpedient. then they want this govern
ment to assume the direction and control
of affairs, by annexation, or such other
method as may best meet the condition of
affairs. They seem to feel satisfied that
the question of the future in the island
can be solved without difficulty after the
first great aim of terminating Spanish
rule is brought about"

CHINA's EMPEROR APPEARED IN
PUBLIC IN EUROPEAN ATTIRE.

The DOwager Empress ThereupOn
DePOsed Her Ncphew-kRng Yuwei
the EmDerOr's Adviser, FOreseeing
the Crisis Sought "a Place of safety.
He Had Inspired the Radical Re-
forms Which Led to the Downfall

the EmperOr's Death Expected-A
Figurehead to BE Appointed. the
Dowager Empress Retaining Her
Power.
Pekin, Sept. p, via Shanghai, Sept 2e.--
The developments of palace affairs con-
firm the belief that the Emperor by the
radical reforms which he had decreed, pre-
pared himself for the blow struck by the
Dowager Empress.
The successive edicts furnish a history
of the trend of affairs
The Emperors chief adviser, Kang Yu-
wei, obtained unbounded influence over
him and inspired the reforms.
The official classes opposed him and con-
suited the Dowager Empress as to means
for nullifying these reforms.
The current story is that the Immediate
cause of the Emperor's downfall is that
he appeared one day in European clothes.
This offense, 1t appears, was aggravated
by the arrival in China of the Marquis
Ito, the Japanese stateman, which alarm
ed the palace officials as foreshadowng
Japanese domination In the empires coun-
ellis.
Thereupon the Dowager Empress acted
with wonderful promptness and deposed
her nephew before the Peking people were
aware that she had left the summer pal
ace.
Kang Yuwei, foreseeing trouble fed
two days before the crisis. His followers
were arrested to-day.
Hsuying KOuer, whose dismissal from
the Chinese foreign office was secured by
the British minister some time ago on
the ground of bad faith, has been reap.
pointed.
The announcement of the Emperor's s
death is expected soon, and the Dowager
Empress is likely to appoint a fgurehead
as his successor, retaining the real power
herself
One report says the Empress has strong
views regarding Russian aggression in
Manchuria and that though she is likely
to restore Ii Hung Chang to power, she
is not likely to countenace his Russian
leanings.
