VOTE ON EXPANSION.

At the Peoples Institute, New YORK,
on Friday evening. there was a pubic
debate on the question of expansion, and
both sides. we are told, were ably rep
resented in the speaking. After the de-
bate was concluded n vote WIS taken on
n resolution that the United States should
keep the Philippines On this there were
Il2 votes IN the affirmative and 6S2 In the
negative, and the chairman of the meet
ing. Professor Charles Sprague Smith,
was instructed TO forward the result OF
the vote TO Washington.
The New York Evening Post, in noticing
the meeting editorially. says that those
who assembled at the meeting were
mainly artisans and storekeepers, and
were evidently eager for information and
moved solely by desire 10 cast their in
fiuence for the best interests Of the coun-
try. They were. adds the Post, fairly
representative OF the great body of Ameri-
cans. and we have no doubt that a SINH
lar verdict would be the result Of fair
and full discussion throughout the coun-
try. If the Republican politicians at Wash
ington would allow time for it.
We agree with our New York contempt
rary in its conclusions. But, as we point
ed out the other day, the President
showed in his addresses down South that
he assumed that he and his little imperial
istic cabal are the people.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The surface indications are that If the
office Of Acknowledgement of the United
States army is to be created, General
Miles will not get it. He is at dagger
points, almost, with Alger and Corbin.
Alger and Corbln would not pursue the
hostile course they are now pursuing
against Miles if they did not believe they
were sustained by the President.
General Miles has worked long md In
dustriously to persuade Congress to re-
vive the Office of acknowledgements, and
his scheme, now seconded by many infiu-
entail men, will probably succeed; hut 1t
is doubtful if he viii be the beneficiary
Of it. He seems to be in disfavor with
the administration, and he did not help
himself any in that quarter by criticising
the methods employed to embark The
army at Tampa and furnish it with sup
plies in Cuba
Unless Miles gets the appointment of
acknowledgement he will be much worse
off than he is now Now he is first; then
he would only be second if that.

PETERSBURG, VA, December g.
CSpecial)-The Christmas season here was
remarkable for its quiet and orderly OBJ
servance. There was practically no IN
toxication on the streets, no disturbing
conduct OF any kind, and the police had
less TO do than in many years AZ this fes-
tive season. Sunday was especially no.
tlceable for its quiet. and the large con-
gregatious worshipped at their respective
churches without the least interruption
usual to the Christmas celebration. This
fact was commented upon in several fof
the pupits.
Between and 3 o'clock Sunday morning
fire broke out in the basement OF the
handsome jewelry store of Buchanan
Brothers, on Sycamore street. The prompt
response and effective work Of TIE depart
ment confined the freto the cellar, and
prevented serious loss. Dense smoke filed
the house. and rendered the work OF the
fremen somewhat difficult In gropine
his way TO the rear of the store Chief
Engineer Farley plunged through the open
trap-door leading to the cellar, and was
considerably bruised by his tall. thoush
fortunately not otherwise injured. IN the
store were stored statuary, br'c-a-orac'
and other goods. which were damaged by
water and smoke. The damage TO the
iewelry. siverware, and other stock on
the store floor was mostly by smoke.
Messrs. Buchanan Brothers estimate their
loss at about s.. 800 which is fully covered
by insurance How the fire originated is
a mystery. There had been no fire IN the
basement for two days. slight explo-
sion preceded the fire.
Mr.. Walter Donnan one OF our most
worthy and popular young cltlzens' Is
critically ill at his home on High street.
He is suffering with a severe attack OF
pneumonia, following a case of grip. There
seems 10 be but little hope Of his re-
covery.
Mr.. James E. Smith, who carries on an
extensive lumber business near stony
Creek and in this city. is i'll with the
grip.
The people OF Ettrick have petitioned
Judge Clopton. OF Chesterfield county, tor
relief from certain expenses resulting
from the appointment of policeman in
that village. II is alleged that there are
more arrests and greater costs in conse-
quence. Judge Clopton has taken the pc
tition under consideration.
The knights Templar of this city met
in their asylum hall at noon to-day ana
drank a toast, as is their usual annual
custom. TO the Most Eminent Grand Mas
ter of the order in the United States. The
Grand Masters response was also read.
Mr.. Harry Williams was accidentally
and quite painfully hurt to-day by the
explosion of a cannon-cracker near his
face. The young man who lighted the
fuse attempted to throw the cracker In
the street. striking Mr.. Williams in doing
so. The injuries are not serious.
Mr.. Charles Bass to-day picked up
ten-dollar bill out Of trash box on the
sidewalk on Sycamore street. a number
of gentlemen had been standing about the
box chatting for some time.

BEDFORD CITY.
A Mnrriage-RObbery, Followed by n
WhisI<ey Flood.

BEDFORD CITY, VA, December 90
(Special)-On Christmas-Day, al midday
the marriage Of Mr. Balm Pentecost and
Miss Lizzie Wood was celebrated at the
residence Of the brides father, Mr.. George
Wood. in the presence of the members Of
the family connections and a few inti-
mate friends. The ceremony was impress
sively performed by Rev. w. S. Royal,
OF the Baptist church After the cere-
mony a wedding dinner was served to
the guests The bride was arrayed in
pretty costume of blue serge, with trim
mngs Of white satin.
When Mr. Robert Preas reached his
place of business early this morning he
was confronted by scene Of wild dis
order and wreckage, the aftermath of a
daring robbery that took place between
midnight and daybreak last night. Mr..
Preas keeps a saloon, into which an en-
trance was effected by breaking through
the window Of the bowling alley beneath,
and making an opening through the floor
into the bar-room. The slot-machine was
broken open and about $40 in money
taken out Five dollars I'm money was
taken from the cash drawer and 800 in
script The bottled goods were all stolen
The spgots were removed from the casks
OF whiskey. and the barrels turned on
end the contents all flowing out on the
floor and into the bowling alley below.
Thus whiskey to the value Of about $50
was destroyed This morning the floor
was covered with the whiskey to the
depth Of 2 inches. Mr.. Preas says his
profits for the year were swept away at
n stroke, and he will have to borrow
money TO begin business again There is
as yet no tangible clue 10 the robbers.

THAT ATLANTA SPEECH.

Some Of the northern papers are pub
fishing letters from the people rasping the
President severely for his Atlanta speech.
1t is clear that he is not going TO be sus-
tanned in his suggestion without fight
within his party, and this we doubt If he
Is willing TO court. AS Yet we do not
know what the position Of the Grand
Army people will be. Though a few posts
have adopted resolutions commencing the
course Of the President, hundreds of
others have taken no action at all.
As matters stand, we doubt If the coun-
try will hear from the President again.
unless it be 70 explain that he never
meant to suggest congressional action
upon the subject of caring for living or
dead Confederates. As we have said more
than once. the Atlanta speech of his com
mitted him in terms to nothing. OF course
we might presume that President who
had such glowing fraternal feelings Tor
our veterans and such admiration Tor our
heroic dead would lose no time in i'm
pressing his views upon Congress; but we
have never yet felt justified in credting
Mr.. Mckinley with the qualities OF a bold
leader. And now that the negroes are
bowling at him, and none Of the big Re-
publican leaders have come to his rescue,
and the Grand Army people are ominous-
" silent. we should not wonder if he had
about concluded to let the matter
drop. However we await developments
with interest, If not with hghly-wrought
evn&tation

ME, TOO.

Some OF our northern currency reform
contemporaries are reminding the Presi-
dent that on divers and sundry occasions,
in speeches and messages, he has de-
clared for currency reform, and asking
him what he proposes to do about 1t after
the 4th Of March, when he will have a
clear track in both the House and the
Senate. Really these reminders from our
contemporaries are unkind, and their
question is calculated TO prove very em-
barrassng TO the President.
Mr.. Hanna has announced that there
will be no currency legislation in the near
future, because the country wants a
breathing spell, and therefore the Presi-
dent could make no other explanation
than the rather undignifed one of "Me,
tOO."
