THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message Of President William
Mckinley was read to both branches OF
congress at noon today. The message
is unusually long, and while it amin
adverts at great length upon the vents
leading up to the wal and the prosecu'
ton OF the war, 1t falls almost entirely
ito discuss the mementous questions
arising from the war itself. While the
most trivial incidents in our relations
with Central and South American re-
publics are mentioned at length, the
presidents reference to currency re-
form is confined to less han a dozen
lines outside Of a former recommends
ton relating to the redemption and re-
issue of the greenbacks.
The president ignores the controversy
soldiers, and in mentioning the great
naval battle off Santiago speaks Of the
fleet under command of Commodore
Sampson and neglects to mention
Schley or any of his captains. Neither
praise nor censure is accorded Shat
ter, but the whole army Is warmly
praised for its services. The navy is
lauded to the skies, and the men, from
81 O. lawn - Sfh1 ,,-ro-o1 he.
roes in the boiler rooms are praised
without stint.
The president declares that the Gu
bans will be assisted to a stable and in
dependent government, but reference
to the future government Of the new
possessions, ave to "a that for the
time they will be under military con-
troll, is studiously avoided. When the
peace treaty is finally concluded the
president will, he says, transmit an
other message to congress, and by
implication promises at that time to
set forth his views as to our future
policy.
Figures are given to show that the
expenses OF the government exceed the
receipts and he estimates that there
will be a considerable deficit for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1899. The
president speaks at length Of his hand
ling OF the Pacific railways matter, OF
forest reservations, of the agricultural
department. the Paris exposition. the
Washington centennial mad other mat
tiers, and recommends two new public
buildings. one for the department OF
justice and one for the supreme court.

CUTED FOR MALFEASANCE.
Coal Corporations Teaching a Gov
to Hereafter Obey Their
Demands For Armed Men.

st. Louis, Mo.-(Special.)-A special
to the Republic from Carlinville, Ill.,,
says:
The Virden riot grand jury made its
formal report to Judge r. B. Shirley
at $50 this evening. Judge Shirley
came down from Springfield, where he
was holding court, and held a short
half-hour session to receive this report.
The grand jury dealt pertinently with
the affair and as far as it was able to
ascertain returned true bills agains,
the principal participants in the TRACE
dy Of October IL at Virden.
Ten indictments, involving ffty-four
persons. were returned.
Against John r. Tanner, governor of
illinois, there are three counts for pal
pable omission Of duty and ~malfeasance
in ofice Fred ". Lukins, general man
ager Of the Chicago-Virden Coal COM
pany, is charged with manslaughter Oh
two counts. With Lukins, his deputies,
Wilder, J. E. Sickles and J. E..
Smith, are indicted for the killing OF
Joseph Gitterele, a Mount Olive miner.
Sixteen Thiel guards are held for riot.
In the indictments against Governor
Ianner the complaining witnesses are
John Graham, Will Mitchell, William
Wilson. Clarence Ross and Charles
Stewart, employees Of the Chica-Virden
coal company. They testified that they
were intimidated and prevented from
following their legitimate employment
by an armed body Of men, numbering
1000, who unlawfully and feloniously
were assembled in Vidren; that the
governor had been notified by the sher-
if OF Macoupin county that no protec-
ton was to be had from the county
and was earnestly importuned for state
assistance.
Judge Shirley fixed Governor Tan
ners bond at $500.
A. ]. Roberts, the foreman Of the
grand jury, who was also foreman Of
the coroner's jury, is a virden police
magistrate. He was strongly opposed
to indicting Governor Tanner.
In each Of the indictments against
Governor Tanner the omission Of duty
was IDENTICAL: Failure and refusal to
respond to the call Of Sheriff Davenport
of this county for military aid ia sup
pressing the riotous demonstrations Of
Virden coal miners-a riot which cul-
minated October II in b%loodshed. The
indictments were, in brief. as follows:
First-Failure and refusal to send
troops to aid the sheriff in checking
the actions of 1000 or more men who
were preventing certain persons from
entering on their duties in the service
Of the Chicago-Virden Coal Mining
company.
Second-Failure and refusal to send
troops on the call of the sheriff to pre-
vent the same men from doing bodily
violence to the same would-be en-
ployes.
Third-Failure and refusal to send
troops to aid the sheriff in preventing
the same rioters from conspiring and
combining to do injury to h would-be
employees.

LETTER FROM THE PHILIPPINES
No Place For a Working Man to
Go to.

t 10 TO-
Lincoln, Neb.-special.eThe follow
ing extracts are from q letter received
by Judge Broadly from his son, Bracton
Broadly, in the First regiment at Ma
Mia:
Manila, p. L.. Oct. 20-Dear Father:
I received you letters of August 81,
September 3 and 9 yesterday. I didn't
write oftener because we were not in
formed as to when mail would go until
it was time for it to start, and I have
been so busy since landing. I have been
acting corporal since starting from
Frisco, and I tell you it is no snap.
We were paid last time September 10,
and almost ever since then I have been
On the sick list. It started with ma
laria, but I got a lot OF quinine and
soon broke that, but my stomach was
left very weak and I had a bad case
Of diarrhoea. October 6 I was sent to
the division hospital and put on liquid
diet and stayed there a week and came
back feeling good, but very weak, but
with diarrhoea about cured. Since
coming back from the hospital I have
had much trouble with my stomach,
but am now about we'll, but very weak.
w are hoping to get orders to go
home to be mustered out soon, and I
the cause Of my sickness. I try not to
think much Of home for that reason.
you speak Of the great opportuni-
ties opened to us in these islands. Well
that is n where o have plenty Of
money to invest, but we privates will
never get enough to pay to invest it.
We have to spend our wages for grub,
as the army rations would kill us if we
lived or them exclusively, and, besides,
everything is very dear here. The re-
sources Of this island, so far as l can
learn, are hemp, sugar, rice, c%ocoanuts
and minerals.
The culture of these things, Of
course, can be greatly improved, and
the production cheapened by introduce
ing proper machinery, which will take
lots Of money. Laborers, Of course, are
cheap. OF the minerals nothing much
is known, since the Spanish wouldn't
push into the interior, where one must
go to find them, but Rugged the coas
closely. The consequence of this is
that the interior of the island is un-
known n the interior tribes are still
wild savages. I can't find out much
about the country, as I am only a pri-
vate and am held in check by military
laws. However, what country I have
seer is low and marshy, just the place
to raise rice in, and lies along the
coast. Some Of h officers went on an
excursion up the Pasig river some time
age and say hat the country further
up is fine dry, rolling land, and seem
to think it is just the place for agri-
culture.
Transportation would be one of the
drawbacks in this climate, as every
thing is either transported by means Of
OK carts or in boats. There is much
good timber in the mountains, accord
ing to reports.

The women Of Italy are essentially a
marrying class. and NO wonder, for the
brides trousseau is paid for by the
bridegroom, who expects it to be Of
the best quality. Single women who
pass their twenty-fifth birthday are
looked upon with disfavor because
there are SO many reasons why they
should marry. The purchase Of an
Italian girls trousseau is a matter for
weighty consideration, and one that re-
quires more than one head for its sue
cessful accomplishment. On the i'm
portant day Of purchase the bride, her
mother, her father, her future mother
and father, possibly a sister and a
friend or two. and the bridegroom and
his sisters and friends all descend upon
the shops and examine the articles
from n end to another. Everybody
gives advice. which is taken or not.
and in the end the happy groom has
the pleasure of paying the bill.

How the Whites Won the Election in

WILMINGTON, Nov. s.-The agony
seems TO be over North Carolina APP
pears to have passed through its ordeal
without bloodshed. White supremacy
Is the new State motto. and 1t has been
gained without riot and trouble, such as
has been feared on all sides, especially
here i'm Eastern North Carolina. AT one
time to-day the pulse Of the State was
thought to be throbbing, like That OF
Wilmington, very weak. Tonight now
ever the good news from all Eastern
North Carolina has Occasioned the Demo
cratic pulse to take on steady and

a wide open election. The negroes voted
