APPRECIATION FROM ENGLAND.

London. Nov. 13.-"The Times" referring edi-
torially this morning TO the speech OF Mr.. Choate
at the annual banquet OF the Walter Scott Club
In Edinburgh on Friday evening, says:
The American people generous enough to
like us better for being proud and glad Of their
sympathy than for having given them our own.
So now the English people amid the chorus Of
depreciation and abuse from the Continental
press ind In the hearty appreciation OF a great.
free nation announcement and strength OF a
kind which even irOnclads cannot supply.

EXCLUSION OF CHINESE.
THE SUBJECT UNDER CONSIDERATION BY
THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.

Washington. Nov. 13-Whether the Chinese
exclusion laws should be applied TO the Philip
pines is among the subjects engaging the atten-
ton of the Philippine Commission. Considerable
evidence hearing on the matter has been col
lected and besides presenting this testimony
with their full report. IL is expected that
recommendation will be made which may have
considerable influence in shaping the course OF
this Government and the action Of Congress. II
is understood that two Of the members Of the
Commission Messrs. DENLY and Worcester have
expressed themselves as favorable to an appca-
ton Of the Chinese exclusion act to the Philip
pines. From the fact that General Otis has
issued an order for Chinese exclusion, 1t is
sumed that his voice as a member Of the Com
mission also would be for that policy. The posi-
ton Of Admiral Dewey, however, is understood
TO be favorable 10 the admission Of Chinese
While this personal view Of the Admiral has
been expressed 10 friends 1t is not known
whether he would give it official expression in
case all his colleagues on the Commission favored
a recommendation Of exclusion. The attitude Of
President schurman has not been made known
even in an informal way.
The exclusion question is involved to some
extent with the inquiries which the United
States is now making Of other Powers to the
maintenance Of an open door" policy in China
It was said to-day in high diplomatic quarter
that In case the United States adopted a per-
manent policy Of Chinese exclusion In the Phil
Ippines there was little doubt such course
would cause China to be less friendly in her CO.
operation with the plans of the United States to
extend trade in the empire.
The replies Of the European nations Interested
in China to the request Of the State Department
for formal undertaking to preserve the open
door are not expected for several weeks, as the

KING-RUMOR OF BOER DEFEAT.
London. Nov. 13.-The simultaneous attacks
on Ladysmith. Mafeking and Kimberley. which
were opened on Thursday manifest full recog-
milton by the Beers OF the fact that every day
lessons their chances Of a successful onslaught
on any Of the three British strongholds. General
Jouberts chances of reaching Pietermartzburg
can be said 10 have vanished. This is already
reported to be admitted by Colonel Schel. the
German officer commanding the Boer artillery,
who is supposed to have been largely the author
Of the Boer plan OF campaign, and who, in an
Interview is alleged 10 have said
The Boer intention was to have captured
Pietermariuburg and then to dictate terms. All

Of view the general situation in Natal is rap

was hard pressed by the enemy. They would
have held out. however. but some subordinate.

his own responsibility. Nothing then remained
except to surrender.
