An attempt was made to turn around but the tug get in the trough of the sea and waves washed ever the craft and drowned out the fires. The crew saw that there was no hope for the tug and got on the scow. The last man had been on but minute or so when the tug plunged and went out of sigit.

Oct. 29.-The attor- ney-general of Delaware has instructed Detective McVey to employ an attoT- ney at law to get the Botkin case into the United States supreme court A writ Of habeas corpus will be applied for by McVey in the district or circuit court. Should the application be de- nied an appeal will be taken to the United States supreme court Ther5 Is only one possible obstacle to such a course The district circuit courr, which denies the application, may also refuse to allow an appeal.
 Such a refusal is very rare and was held by Judge Sawyer to be beyond the power Of lower court in la5eas corFus cases Both the district and circuit cours lately refused to permit Duran; to appeal.

There Was Sudden Alignment of Amer iCanism In Support of the Adminis- tratiOn Against More or Less Hostile and Jealous EurO-
 pean Influence.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Thcse persons who accompanied the president on his trip through the west have brought back to Washington interesting infor- mation concerning conditions in that part of the country. All agree that the trip had a striking effect politically, and that the evidences O. the presi- dents popularity were gratifying.
 Secretary Wilson says that the re- publicans will more than hold their own in every state throughout which the president passed; that in Nebraska a republican legislature will be chosen. and will elsct g republican successor to Senator Allen, and that in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana the republican nominees for congress will be success full
 Secretaries Bliss and Gage also make similar reports. and comment on the apparent unanimity of sentiment in fla vor of the policy of expansion.
 Throughout his trip she president in his speeches dweit strongly on the need cf united country to face Ea- rcre at this time when 50 much is at stake in the Paris negotiations. That may be regarded as the keynote O. the campaign The administration is in terested intensely in the work Of the peace commission, ard the president found thas the people in the west were intensely interested in it, too.
 His first speeches made no reference to the work of the commission or to the possibility Of the establishment of American supremacy in the Philip pines. He dwels solely upon the pros perity Of the people and on the splen- did crops. His references met with a cool response. But when he began to speak on the Philippines he discovered that his audience became wide awake at once, and as he went on from town ito town he spoke more and more dsf- nitely as to the ultimate control of the entire group of islands by the United States. The more strongly he spoke on that subject the quicker and more enthusiastic was the applause, and those persons who were on the train with tha president say that it was manifest that his own faith was strengthened day by day by the sup port he found in his audiences His ideas scanned to expand as he advanc-

NEARING A CLOSE.
No Controversy Over the Philippines
 Apprchended.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Advices from Paris are to the effect that there is nc change in the peace commission situa- tion The administration has the same hopeful feeling of success that was entertained in yesterdays cabinet meeting. and the statement is re- i.erated that things are to be brought to d speedy close.
 The question Of the Philippines has nct been formally considered by the peace commissioners, but there has been some communication between tn, American and Spanish r. -e-entatives. in which the former have indicated that settlement will nc. be as diff cult as was indicated scme time ago. As indicated in the Associated Press dispatches. the determination seems to have been by the United States gov ernment to retain all of the Philippine islands, and the question fer contfo- versy will be over the allowance to Spain for the islands.
 WILL KEEP THE ISLANDS. New York, Oct PA special to the Herald from Washington says; Pres ident Mckinley is convinced that thera | is no way fer the United States to cs- cape the responsibility Of taking all cf the Philippines. He has arrived at this conclusion afts- mature de,ibe.a tion. He at first favor,d keeping nothing more than a military and naval base and though the United States should in TO event retain mcre than the. island of Luzon. Since his western trip he has been convinced that public sentiment favors the rc- tsntion Of all the Philippines and he now believes that is the only solution of the problem The United States will probably assume s40. .OG0,000 bond ed indebtedness.

A PEACEFUL PROSPECT.
Marchand's Departure From Fashcda
 Lightens Complications.

London. Oct 29-The arrival of Major Marchand at Nhartoum cn his way to Cairo with that portion of his report which was not finished when Captain Bsratier left Fashoda, is re- garded as rift in the clouds oyer- hanging AEglo-Frencn relations, for in spite Of a semi-ofSic;al denial issusd in Paris that orders were sent to the major to go to Cairo, it is fully believed here that the French officer would not be on his way to Cairo unless ha had received hint to that effect from the French government, which considers that his leaving Fashoda will take the sting cut Of the situation and at the same tins prepare France for the eventual withdrawal Of the whole ex- petition, which now consists of seven officers and I20 men.
 The British view of this latest mov5 is that the Marquis of Salisbury and his minister are delighted to afford Major Marchand facilities for reach ing Cairo. But they would hardly care to send him back except in the ca paci,y of :, guest or scientific ex- plcrer. That is to say. France will first have to renounce her principal claim based Gu his mission.
 GERMANY FAVORS ENGLAND. Berlin, Oct. 29.-The French crisis is anxiously watched Tn Germany.

ed. Even Secretary Gage, who was originally opposed to the retention of anything but 8 coaling station in the Philippines, admitted during the trip that the temper of the people was un- mistakable, and added. '-The people generally are right"
 The president has thus appealed to the voters of the west to uphold the hands O; the administration during the negotiations, and has not concealed his belief growing out of direct infof- nation that Spain is delaying now in the hope of an anti-administraston vctcry in November, which will maan better terms for her in the Philip pines.
 The administration keynote for the campaign is Present . united front to Europe"
 "The importance os standing by the administration at this time" said an official who has recently returned from diplomatic mission, rcan be appre- ciated fully only, by -thco3 pssspnsswho know somethin6 of tAo t1elinx toward IyJcitef SIX ssaot9 thefIstiops of Europe. ,' we Are united ve command the respect The governments Of E1rdpe are impressed with our .strngth and power.- Whea we are divided politically on questions affecting cur relations to other na- tions, We are shCrn of power. and osir wishes are treated with indifference or contempt That is fslustrated in the course Of the negotiations at Paris. Spain has teen lsd to believe by the partisan attacks on the administration that it is necessary only for her to prccrastinate ard delay the decision Of the peace commission. She hopes to obtain more favorable terms from the United States. She is fully con- vinced that an anti-administration victory will so weaken the presidents position that he will be glad to modify the terms under, which the peace com missioners are authorized to treat, and that would mean the return of the Philippines to Spain to be disposed ot as she might see fit to any other Eu- rOpean power.
 Germany and France are both ready to interfere if thsce is the. slightest cause for their meddling. and a divided country here will be thought a possible incentive for them to make themselves felt. With united country they will keep their hands off,
