REPUBLICANS OPEN
FALL CAMP A|GN.
Roosevelt was the Lion of the
Occasion.
STRONG PLEA FOR LOYALTY

Akron, Ohio. Sept. 23.-The
name of Akron stretches across
the map of Ohio today from north
to south. from east to west and di-
agonally. All roads lead only
thither.
The coming of Governor Roose-
welt, more than anything else has
attracted to the opening of the re.
publican campaign in Ohio, the
biggest crowd that ever met in
Akron.
With all respect to Judge Nash
it is most evident that Governor
Roosevelt is the lion of the occa-
sion. When Roosevelt arrived he
was received enthusiastically by
thousands of people.
Judge Nash was the first
speaker. He made strong ap-
peal tor the support of the repub-
llcan party in Ohio, on the grounds
that all the pledges made by the
st. Louis convention of 1896. had
been fulfilled He closed with ex-
pressions of confidence in the peo-
pie of Ohio.
Governor Roosevelt was then in
troduced. He said he was filed
with pride in coming to Ohio. be-
cause the political situation in this
state was one of national impor-
tance. Roosevelt then in scathing
terms denounced the anti-expan-
sion policy. He said the Ameri-
can soldiers had as perfect right to
thrash the natives of the Philip
pines who were in insurrection.
as they had to drive the Indians
who went on the warpath, back to
their reservations.
He said he did not believe in
the United States government with
drawing her forces from the Phil
ippines. If she did she would be
lowered in the eyes of other ma
tions, and her flag would be
dragged in the dust.
He also said that free silver was
dead issue and that the trust
problem would soon regulate itself.

Evid ence Is All In,

Rennes, Sept. 9.-Today came the
beginning of the end of the Dreyfus
trial. With the speech of the govern
ment commissary, Major Carriere, the
case entered upon the final stage of
pleadings, and the verdict will be de-
livered Monday.
Colonel Jouanste this morning took
the most important decision yet taken.
and took it entirely upon his own re-
sponsibility, although he is undoubted-
ly only the mouthpiece of the whole
body of judges. His decision to ex-
clude the testimony of Colonels
Sohwarzkoppen and Panizzardi was
most significant. as it meant that the
court had already reached a conclusion,
and that the pleadings of counsel were
merely waste of time, and might be
dispensed with if they were not ne
cessity.
The court has made up its mind, but
which way? This is the view point
and forms the sole topic of discussion.
Both sides are equally confident that
the court will decide in accordance
with their views.

Seattle, Sept. 9.-Prince David Wa.

way to Washington to visit his aunt.
ex-Queen Liliuokalani, says:
Annexation is decided success.
OF course from sentimental view, the
native Hawaiian feels like a man with
out country just new, but that feel
ing will wear away. We want the
president to appoint our governor and
his cabinet and let the people elect
their legislature. When this is done,
there will be no cause for complaint.
Annexation has done great things for
the Hawaiian islands. The country
never was so prosperous before"

AGU|NALDO'S APPOINTMENTS
conservative Element of the
Islands Selected.
FILIPINO CONGRESS- SESSION
Insurgents Taxing the Chinese-Oues-
ton Of Local Government for the Is
lands Discussed by the Cabinet.

Manila, Sept. ia Filipino who
has arrived here from Tarlao says an
extraordinary session of the revolution.
ary congress took place at Tarlac, Au-
gust "a. Aguinaldo presided, and
chose Mabini as president of the su-
preme court and Gonzaga as attorney
general. They both represent the most
conservative and temperate element.
Mabini, who recently resigned the for.
eign secretaryship, is the ablest man
connected with the revolution. Con-
zaga was president of the last peace
commission.
The proceedings of the congress dis
proved the report that Aguinaldo had
declared himself dictator.
A decree has been issued by the Fill
pinos compelling the registration OF all
foreigners in Filipino territory. The
Chinese, who are large fraction of
the population, are considered foreign
ers, including those born in the Phil
lppine islands. Application must be
made on stamped paper. which figures
largely in all the business of the insur-
rectionary government. This seems tG
be largely a scheme to tax Cinnamon.

Statement From Kruger.

New York, Sept. 9.-The World to-
DAY publishes the following dispatoh
from Paul Kruger. president of the
South African Republic, in response to
message sent by that paper:
81 gladly accede to your request to
put the Boer side before the American
public. The present agitation against
this republic emanates partly from a
certain section of British residents, to
whom the existence of the republic,
which embraces the most flourishing
parts Of South Africa, is a standing
eyesOre, and who suffer from the pre-
Yelling jingo mania, partly also from
4phing capitalists, who, not condent
w. Jhaving the bes. mining laws in
tile world. wish also to have complete
control Of all legislation and adminis-
tratiOn.
''The franchise voting question was
taken up by England because it was
thought the republic would not yield
on that point. Now that the altered
franchise does not materially differ
from the AmeriCan-it is in many re-
'pects easier-the agitation has become
worse The object clearly is the de-
'lructiOn Of our republic and the COM
pete control of the richest mines in
lOe world. The press, entirely con-
''oIIed by capitalists. spreads unpre.
cedented misrepresentation and preju.
ace throughout the world against the
Boer republic.
we are determined to defend to the
utmost that freedom and self-goyern-
ment for which our people have shed
UOOd In every part of South Africa.
iaOugh We have no such powerful
lf'ehd as you proved to Venezuela and
!" other republics, we have strong
'a'tll that the cause of freedom and re.
puO'lcanism will triumph in the end"

Those in the island were in state

COUGAR STOLE A CHILD.
Took Her From the Midst OF Her
Ptaymates.

Kendrick, Idaho, Sept. 11.-News
received from Stuart, new settlement
above Kamiah. on the Nez Perces reser-
vation. says the whole country is in
arms looking for cougar that ap.
preached the home of Lewis Johnson
last Sunday and took from his door
yard his 4-year-old daughter. With
two little sisters, the girl was playing
in front of the house. when cougar
came out from the timber, and, before
the children had time to make cry Of
alarm, seized the little girl by the back
of her neck and started for the hills at
once. Her playmates by their screams
brought the mother to the door, who
arrived in time to see the cougar drag
ging the child away in its mouth. She
at once raised an alarm with her cries,
which caused the cougar to drop his
prey about 100 feet from the house
where the child was picked up dead,
her neck having been broken. The
news spread over the settlement, anG
about 100 armed men were soon scour.
ing the hills.
For some time the settlers in this
vicinity have been losing cattle by four
different cougars that have been seen,
and declare now that they will not rest
until they are caught.

Harvest Hands Wanted.

Dallas, Or, Sept. 1l.-Hoppickine
has commenced in nearly all the yards
about Dallas. There is great scarcity
of hands, and many yards in the coun-
ty are seriously embarrassed, and
threshing is impeded for want of help.
The rain has brought both the grain
and hop harvests together, and prunes
are coming on before the others are out
OF the way, which will make the situa-
tion worse. 1t is believed now that, il
the weather shall continue good, 1000
more people could obtain employment
in Polk county for month or more.
Teams and wagons are in unpreoedent-
ed demand for hauling stone, wood and
grain. The whole country. in fact, ID
working under high pressure for fear
of rain.
