WHAT DOES IL MEAN?

Wilmington, N. c. Oct. 31.-Not
withstanding, the more peaceful out
look that has prevailed for the past
two days, the feeling OF unrest be-
gins to show itself again tonight.
There is disquieting rumor that the
negroes are seriously considering the
question OF running county ticket,
regardless of the wishes of Governor
Russell and the three or four white
lieuten mis- ofhi hire who have not
deserted hin.
The unexpected arrival of Governor
Russell this evening caps tie climax Of
the changed conditions. The hope
among conservative people is taat Gov
ernUr Russell has heard If the move
ment of the negroes 10 place a county
ticket III the field, and has come here
to suppress i , if possible. There are
other theories. however. in connection
With the object Of his visit
There is little doubt that if Repub. |
lican ticket is brought out for county |
offices the situation here will become
more serious than ever. The Dem }.
Gratis have carried out their part of
the arrangement made with the Gov.
ernor, by changing their candidates for
he lower house Of the Legislature, and
hey are furious over TIE talk of a
negro county ticket.

WE TAKE THEMALL.

Paris, October 31.-The American
commissioners to-day presented &
written expression of the purpose Of
the United States to take the entire
group Of Philippine Islands, and tc
assume such proportion of the Philip
pine debt as has been spent for the
benefit Of the islands or their inhabi-
tn t., in pubic works, improvements.
an - ~ Mt betterments.
1t was also set forth that the United
States would not assume any part Of
the Philippine debt which had boon
incurred by Spain for the fnrtherance
OF military or naval operations 10 qucll
insurI ections Of tho natives.
The session was adjourned Until
Friday, in order TO give the Spaniards
time toprepare reply.
The session to-day lasted a little
over an hour.
sPANIARDs "GRAvELv IMPRESSED
After the conference was dissolved,
the Spanish members expressed the
opinion that the Americans demand
would crea e in Spain, rs they had up
on the Spanish Commissioners, an ex-
ceedingly grave impression. Were
the Spanish Commiss cners pushed to
final determination tonight, they
would reject the American demands,
but the changing tone Of the Spanish
press recently urges the contamination
OF treaty ofpease, however rigorous
the argument being that although the
Spaniards bow to the American de-
mands, the commissioners do not
acknowledge their justice OF admit
their legality. Tonight, the Spanish
Commissioners feel that the United
States, to 70 intont or purpose, has
offered any financial inducement to
Spain to cede any part the Philippines
