HENDERSON AT WATERLOO.
Coming Speaker Aids In Starting Re-
publican Campaign.

Waterloo, Ia. Oct IA large crowd as
sembed in Waterloo to-day and listened
to speeches by Senator Julius c. Burrows
of Michigan ana Congressman u. B. Hem
derson Of Iowa. The meeting marked the
opening of the Republican campaign in
Iowa.
81 predict that Republican Congress
will legisate a. the approaching session 50
as TO increase the confidence OF the peo-
pc establish firmly the god standard OF
the civilized world, and let the peopls
know that ali OF their obligations Will be
discharged on a safe and firm basis MAX
ing contracts to pay the laborer. to pay
the farmer and to pay the pensioner and
to pay for every product of this country
adjustable only on Just and fair basis
admitting of 40 doubt or uncertainty as to
the adjustment between man and man. 1t
will be seen therefore that while the Dem
ocratic party is stin trying 10 destroy The
money OF the people, the Republican Dnrty
Is ever on the alert to protect Il and their
sacred interests. My countrymen do you
want change? Are you dissatisfied with
the management of affairs under Mckinley
and Republican legislation We are in
creasing our exports by millions, drawing
cash from other countries. This keeps all
Of our people busy every manufaciory be-
ing like a beehive, and ali of our money IS
kept at a parity with god With growing
commerce. BOOu prices ana busy people, /
ask again, DO you want a change?
why don't these gentlemen who com
plain about the Philippines also give vent
TO their indignation about our holding Por-
TO Rico ard the Isle of Pines and Guam?
Does II require a rebellion to point out a
right or a duty? All, gentlemen, who are
pressing yourselves in the pathway of
civilization, are you honest with us with
yourselves? DO you know that Porto Rico
Guam the home of pirates, and the Phil
ippines each and all of them VIII In a few
years be like new worlds In the presence
of the influence of the United States and
the civilization which is flowing into each
and all of them?
Nothing will prevent me, or any Amer
lean citizen in the hereafter, from listen
ing with open ears and glad hearts, to the
appeal Of these islands for the highest
form of liberty when their progress and
advancement indicate that they are ripe
for and capable Of larger liberty, and
until such time shall come, and that IS
far in the future, the Philippine Islands,
being ours OF right, must not be surren-
dered to any earthly power.
do the present and growing interests
OF this republic command us 10 run from
these acquisitions which destiny has forced
upon US? In my opinion the great market
of the future for the United States viii be
Asia Already the qulckening trade with
that region is manifest
"Undoubiedly the Philippine Islands are
q rich field for trade and are fun of prom
lse for the future under The protection OF
a government which will protect life and
the opportunity for honest effort.

WILDMAN cRIrrcYsEs Otis.
Says Young and Aggressive Man
Il Needed

New York, Oct. Edwin Wlldman. ex-
consul of the United states at Hong Kong,
aud who was stationed there when the
war in the Philippines was begun, was a
passenger ON the American Line steam
ship ST. Louis. which reached her dock
from Southampton ana Cherhourg to-day
Mr.. W,ldman spoke on conditions in the
Philippines and eulogized Admiral Dewey.
The Philippines" he said, "are well
worth the struggle. The country ont there
is magnificent ana the climate Is good.
There are seven months Of good weather
aud then comes the rainy season, when
one can do nothing. But then in every
country there Is the bad time of year The
sooner we get down to governing the is-
lands the better. They are worth much
from commercial standpoint, The whole
country is rich and productive.
Gen. Otis is too old and not aggressive
enough lie tries to do the whole thing
out there, and like every other man who
tries to do all, he does nothing success
fully. The great need out in the island
is young and aggressive man.
'As to the question of f-government,
l am led to believe that none of the ma.
tive people are capable Of that In the
highest sense of the word The only way
that the natives could govern Is under
American supervision
II believe thnt the flag in the Philippines
should never be lowered. We have got to
conquer or annihilate them. The ques-
ton is, which will our war do.
Il want to say now that at no time
AgUinHt1n ~ h4
prom sod independence. Admiral Dewey
made them no promises. We brought As-
uinaido over to Manila the same as ans
other man wus brought over there 10 help
At no time was anything said about riv b.
ing them their independence You viii
notice that in his manifestos Agulnaldo Is
car eful not 10 say directly that there were
promises made That talk always comes
from some of his followers who have
something to gain by his success"

SITUATION WITH THE BANKS.
Looks as if Period of Excessive liz
quidntlon In at an End.

New York. Oct THE changes in the
statement of the Associated Parks of New
York for the week ending. Oct. Z. We're not
as marked as had been anticipated.
Instead of an average loss in loans of
nearly 100000 and decrease of $lOeC0
coo in deposits as shown in the totals ex-
tending over the last twelve weeks, the
banks contracted loans for the current
week were only SS,59o,2Co. and deposits ST.
2O5. 400
As the banks have lost about SIPS co., 900
in deposits and sS,OJ0,O0 in loans from the
high point attained in June. there is some
stound for the belief that the period of ex-
cossive liquidation Is at an end. Stll the
demand for cash fer in,eglor requirements
continues heavy, while The anks seem un-
abse 10 recoup their resources from usual
available quarters.
The god engaged in london does not
count In the present statement, although
receipts from one or two other quarters
are included. The receipts Of gold on Sat
urday alone We're over S2,090O00. The great
difficulty experienced this fall in financing
the crop movement can be traced to the
losses which the banks nave sustained TO
the treasury, and the slowness of the con-
tinent to respond by exports of gold to
the usual incentive OF rising rates OF In
terest here. Conservative opinion favors
the statement that the tide must turn
soon, and that the general situation will
improve, but there are bankers in New
York who assert that even though the in
terror movement ceases soon, the flow of
money to this center again will be much
slower than usual, since business require
ments warrant its continued employment
elsewhere.
The grain and cotton exports from now
on will he a factor not 10 be ignored, and
il is difficult to see how the shipment of
gold this way is to be avoided, even under
the strain of untoward circumstances
abroad
As 1t Is. the banks are carrying a double
burden and as liquidation has been carried
60 an extreme point. there Is reason for ex-
pecGng q change soon. The operations of
one bank account in large part for current
decreases. The gain in legals doubtless
represents the heavy payments into banks
following the holidays. The apparent re-
serve over requirements is at present only
$643 030, but this of course is exclusive of
the two millions of gold received Saturday
as stated, but not included ir the aver
ages.

CITIZEN OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Judge Brown So Declares the Rel
Telephone Company.


Durham N c., Oct fudge Brown
has rendered his decision in the case of
w X. Debnam against Southern Bell
Telephone Company, which was argued on
Thursday for removal 20 the federal
court In his decision the judge refuses
the removal TO the federal court, asked
for by the defendant on the ground that
the Bell Telephone Company is a corpora
ton of this state.
The defendant in this case asked for
removal to the Federal Court on the
ground that the Southern Bell Telephone
Company was a citizen of the state of New
York, and not citizen of this state, and
therefore had a right TO try in the fed
eral court The plaintiff opposed the re-
moval and claimed that while the defend
ant was citizen of New York, the Craig
act made the company a citizen of this
state also. The company had been domes-
ticated under the provisions of the Craig
act but claimed that it did not change
the citizenship in the least.
In his decision filed yesterday afternoon,
Judge Brown sustained the Craig law. The
defendant has given notice of appeal TO
the Supreme Court, and from there the
case will go to the Circuit Court and up
to the United States Supreme Court for a
final decision on this point of law. Ii is
a battle as to the constitutionality Of the
Craig act which dornesticates foreign
corporations, and is the first fight the
Craig law has won.
