THE BoGIE BOOK,

ASTORIA, Nov, 27.--Eiitor Astorisu
I noticed in yesterdays Astorian some
resolutions purportiug 70 have been
adopted by the Republican central COM
mittee. Can il be possible that the COM
mittee seriously contemplated going into
the Matchmaking business by blackhsting
all who dare TO criticise the sayings and
doings Of this committee.
am. and always have been, a republi-
can, and one reason for it is that republi-
camism has meant freedom, enlighten-
ment and progress, but this committee
seems to have Just awakened from a long
sleep, dating back to the dark ages, and
are casting about for the rack and other
instruments of torture OF the inquisition.
Is this revival of the inquisition, aud
are We to have paid inquisitors to dog
our footsteps to learn if We dare criticise
the sayings and dolngs OF this high and
mighty committee? This would make an
excellent campaign document for the
democrats to spring on the eve OF cleo
ton. 1t does not seem possible that
men aspiring to be leaders OF the repub-
hcan party in Astoria would be guilty Of
anything so iDsanely suicidal as that.
Surely you have been imposed upon.
Ii this is true / shall file away a copy
OF the resolutions together with the
names OF the committeeman to show to
pOsterity. A. R.CYRUS.
Those resolutions we're SO artistically
foolish, so perfectly absurd that they do
not really merit serious criticism. The
members OF the central committee surely
adopted them without understanding
their purport and the committee should
imm ediately recall the resolutions. The
big black book" frightens nobody, for
the lions skin fails to hide the other ami
malls ears but We do not wish outsiders
to get the idea that the republican organ
ization of Astoria has its headquarters in
9 lunatic asylum.
The black book editor would have an
easy job. II disagreement with the
black book idea counts he could secure
thousand names without trouble.

THE SAMOAN QUESTION,
Report That 4 Trade Is to Be Made Tor
Caroline Islands Denied

NEW YORK, Nov. IA Especial to
the Herald from Washington, saws:
1t is stated authoritaGvely that there
is no truth in the repor, from Berlin that
Secretary Hay proposes to surrender Am.
ericau rights in the Samoan eroup in ex-
change for the Caroline islands. The
matter has never been suggested in the
negotiations in progress between the
United States, Great Britain aud Ger
many respecting the partition OF Samoa.
1t is no secret that the American peace
commission at Paris made a determined
effort to secure control OF the Carolines
by the acquisition OF Ualsn islaud, par
ticularly desired for 4 coallng station,
but since that time the Carohnes have
not been discussed by this government,
either with Spain or Germany.
As evidence that this government has
never contemplated withdrawing from
Tutuila. an official called attention to the
continuance OF work on the coaling sta
ton being established at the hArbor OF
that island.
The great value Of the harbor Of Pan
go-Panso in the future when the Nicar-
aqua canal is built is generally admitted.
The Caroline islands, situated in line
between the Philippines aud Hawaii, are
sonaturally very desirable possession,
But since the American commissioners
failed to secure Ualan, the matter has not
been before the president
Representative Hit, OF Illinois, who
will be chairman OF the committee on
foreign affairs during the coming con-
gress, speaking of the report said
II cannot conceive why We should seek
to relinquish Tutuila to Germany for ad-
ditional territory in the Crrolne group.
We now have possession OF Guam, one OF
the richest and best OF the Caroline ISL
snds, and it meets all the requirements
OF the United States at present. It is
possible that Germany might desire such
an exchange, but | seriously question
whether the United States has any iDten-
ton Of accepting such proposition.

woMAN's RIGHTS MAINTAINED.

From the Waverly Magazine.
The fast express on the Yavapai and
Tombstone railroad was bowling mer-
rily along over the Arizona plains Of
sand and cactus. Perhaps the sun
beams had warped the track, or per-
haps a petrifed tree had fallen across
it, but at all events, as it sped by the
side Of parched river, the train sud
denly left the track and rolled down
the banks Of the so-called str-am like
a chilI at play, landing In three feet Of
water with a splash, and causing a
wOeful niXup IF thr passengers, cush-
ions, baggage and shoe boxes full Of
lunch. The occupants Of one car extri-
Gated themselves from the hodge -podge
and sought for means Of exit, while
stanching as best they could the cuts
received from broken glass. But all
places of egress seemed jammed tight
Then arose a woman's voice in emphat-
ic demand.

THE DISPOSITION
OF AGUINALD0
HIS FUTURE A PROBLEM
Probability That He May BE UnmO-
Tested It he Effects His ES-
cape to HOnghOug,

NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to
to the Herald from Washington, says
Though confident that the end OF the
insurrection is in sight the president
will not withhold any OF the troops now
under orders to proceed to Manila.
1t recognized by the administration
that while Aguiusldo's army may be
disbanded. many OF his men will be
roaming about the island Of Luzon as
banditti for months to come and 1t is
desirable. in the interest Of Law and order,
that there should lie strong garrisons OF
troops stationed at strong stragetic points
to suppress any bands or any latent
spark OF insurrection which may be dis
covered.
Then in addition to LuEon, there are
the islands to the south, insurgents in
which refuse to recognize the sovereign
ty OF the United States.
Strong bodies OF troops will be placed
in these islands, and before the close Of
the dry season it is believed that peace
will prevail throughout the entire archi-
pelago.
Only three weeks have passed since
General Otis insugurated his active CAM
paign against Aguinalio, and the results
Of operations are thus summarized by an
oficial
"Aguinaldo's army is dispersed; mem.
bers Of his cabinet and congress and the
president Of his congress are prisoners,
and Aguinaldo, with small remnant OF
his followers, is fugitive. The rail-
road connecting Manila and Dagupan is
in American possession, and municipal
governments have been established along
the line. The occupation OF territory
extending from Manila to Lingayen gull,
l46 miles from Manila, and the garri-
soning Of the provinces is complete. 1t
is not meant that these provinces are en-
tirely paci6ed, for this could not be the
case, but the insurgent force therein bSs
been broken, and except for small bands,
has fed, principally to the province OF
Zambslas' to which General Macarthur
will now devote attention"
Considerable interest is being taken in
official circles as to the disposition OF
Aguinaldo in case OF capture, Some
persons say the best solution would be
his death in action, but this il not ex-
pected. Should he be captured, General
Otis will undoubtedly await instructions
from Washington as to the treatment he
should accord him. Should Aguinaldo
escape to HongkoDg, the United states
could not as q matter Of right ask for
/ hi. surrender, and the president would
therefore doubtless determine to leave
the insurgent leader alone.
/ In connection with the disposition Of
Aguinaldo in case Of capture the author
tiles would have to consider the effect Of
tie policy upon the natives.
When the iusurrection is foally sub
dued a civilian or a commission will be
sent to govern the Philippine. The

archipelago will be divided into four mil
itary departments, the island Of Luson in
two, over which Generals Lawton and
Macarthur will probably preside,
General Otis needs rest and is eN-
pected to return to the United States
when he is satisfied there is no longer
any need OF his remaining at Manila.
