Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Spoon
er, of Wisconsin, before leaving for
home. warmly defended the president
against the criticism OF the anti-annex-
ationists. Although not an expansion
list. and while consider the Philippine
Question serious, / believe that congress
will solve it satisfactorily" the senator
declared. THE president Is not re-
sponsible for the situation. When
Dewey asked for troops to reduce Ma
Mia the whole country wanted them
sent at once, and even severely criti-
cised the president because they could
not be shipped Immediately. Not a
voice was then heard against sending
these troops; no one seemed to foresee
that such occupation as that then con-
templated must necessarily mean more
than the simple reduction of Manila.
Our troops could not sail away after the
city had been taken, and nobody asked
that they should, because it TRANSFERRED
that the foreigners and even the citi-
zens there needed protection. There has
been no time since when we could have
withdrawn from the islands, and all
that remains now is to fight the Filipi-
nos to submission as quickly as posi-
BILE. and then II will be the duty of con-
gress to provide for their government"
Secretary Root, accompanied by Gen.
Miles, will go to Sandy Hook proving
grounds next Thursday. where. with the
members of the board of ordnance and
Notifications, he will witness tests OF
light field guns of the mountain type.
He is interested in providing cannon
that will be serviceable in the Philip
pines, and will give particular attention
to the varieties that can be transported
on horseback and the new rapid-fire
six FOUNDER field pieces.

land HIS followers. You know what you
i were doing when you tried to get this
trash into the rebels hands. Your pur-
pose was to give the rebels encourages
ment. to embarrass the government OF
the United States and to induce the reb-
els to hold out until perhaps you could
try your luck in having the names Of
the loyal congressman taken of the list
at the next election.
Not precinct in the First Ohio con-
gressional district would elect you or
one OF your kind as a delegate to q con-
lvention to nominate director for the
county poor house. The citizens Of this
district are loyal, patriotic people, and
am sure they are not In sympathy
with those who are doing all they can
to embarrass President Mckinley and
the government in the effort to restore
order and suppress the rebellion in the
Philippines. When that is accomplished
1t will be time to determine what form
of government shall be established in
those islands.
Our people applaud the speech made
by our president recently, when he said,
speaking of our flag: 1T is the flag of
the free, the hope of the oppressed, and
wherever 1t is assailed at any sacrifice
1T will be carried to triumphant peace
That is the kind of talk our people like
here.
For fear that you will forget 1t, let
me suggest that you make memoran-
dun that the nomination for congress
in the First Ohio district will be made
about September, 1900. 1t will be nee
essary for you, to secure the results you
desire. to commence your work a little
before that time-the earlier Che better
for am assured that your friend
Aguinaldo will cease to exist as a mill
ltary chieftain long before that date"

Long Branch.
Peace First. Then Government Of

The Philippines to Have Same.
Treatment as the People Of
Porto Rico.

Long Branch, N. j.. Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Mckinley publicly declared the
policy Of the national administration IN
the Philippines during a BRET speech al
Ocean Grove yesterday afternoon. In
addressing the Ocean Grove summer
school of theology he said:
II believe that there is more love
for our country and that more peo-
pie love the flag than ever before.
Wherever that flag is raised 1t
stands not for despotism and opres-
sion. but for liberty, opportunity
and humanity; and what that flag
has done for us we want to do for
all people and all lands which by the
fortunes of war have come within
its Jurisdiction.
That flag does not mean one
thing in the United States and an
other in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. There has been some doubt in
some quarters respecting the policy
of the government in the Philip
pines. / see no harm in stating 1t in
this presence.

PLEAsURBRs OF WEALTH.
William X. Vanderbilt Gives a Gran
Social Function.

T
Newport. r. l.. Aug. 2s.-The ball CIV
en- by William K. Vanderbilt at the
Golf Club last evening was the crown
ing event Of the Newport season. Mr..
Vanderbilt was pleased to term the af-
fair merely small Dance" but 1T was
the finest private social entertainment
that Newport has seen in years.
Mr. Vanderbilt never saw either dec
orator, electrician, caterer or any other
chief artist more than once. and then
his orders to Hodgson were simply to
go ahead" without reserve or condi-
ton. OF course. nothing but a superb
affair-call it dance, ball, cotillion or
what no<-could result.
Two hundred men in New York and
Newport We're engaged for week pre-
pairing the various features, and their
task was not completed till just before
the guests began to arrive at the club
house. at II O'clock.
The entrance to the club house was
through an avenue Of tall Australian
tree ferns, extending along the piazza
and through the vestibule, banked with
masses Of flowers and bright with a
flood Of light from electric lamps OF va
rious colors. The color scheme was
first white, then green, then pink, and
finally a deep maroon, as you passed
into the ball room.
The details of the floral decorations
were systematic and artistic. The yes
tibule was done in almost pure white
and green, while the oval ball room
looked glorious in a wealth of soft
white and pink buds and blossoms
The lion-headed brackets supporting
the balcony We're faced with broad pam
els of pink and white flowers. Floral
garlands and pendants We're suspended
from the brackets all about the room.
with wide, rich sash ribbons of rose
pink and Nile green. The electric chan
deliers, high UP in the dome of the ball
room. We're hung with long, feecy pen
dants of feathery green vines, dotted
With hundreds of white flowers, giving
the appearance of a shower of snow
flakes that never quite descended.
About the room were grouped night
blooming lilies and Egyptian lotus flow.
eI..
The Italian veranda of the club house
was arranged as woodland scene, with
oak boughs overhead, relieved here and
there with clusters of bright flowers
There was open air dancing here as well
az Indoors
The supper room was improvised on
the gravel court of the club house, tenn
porarily inclosed. decorated to suggest
harvest time The columns resembled
great sheaves of corn and wheat, SET
with poppies and field flowers Grape
vines and other country climbers were
along the ceiling. giving the effect of a
large arbor.
Just as Mr.. Vanderbilt wished, the
Entertainment was thoroughly informal
| Assisted by his sister, Mrs. Hamilton
Nick. Twombly. and his daughter-in
law, Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, Jr
Mr.. Vanderbilt received just within the

Bill DiXou Captured.

Bill Dixon, the notorious scamp who has
given this community so much annoyance,
and who has cost the taxpayers so much
money, is again in the meshes Of the law,
and this time we hope is safe from escape.
Mr. j. f. Burgess Of Jordan was going
through the country on @ search for Mrs.
Peagler's stolen horse, and when he reach
ed Darlington information was given him
to the effect that negro was arrested on
the 18th inst, at Nonloe n. c. answering
the description Of Bill Dixon. and when ar
rested be had in his possession horse and
saddle which answered the description of
the Peagler horse and Mr.. c. r. Sprotts
saddle. Mr. Burgess came home and IN
formed Mr.. Owens, and on last Friday
morning MIR. Owens accompanied by Mr.
C. P. Lesesne, and MIR. Burgess who went
along to bring the horse home through the
country, left for Monroe. Upon reaching
their destination, it was not long before
they were nshered into the presence OF Bill
Dixon, and had no difficulty in identifying
him, in fact Dixon recognized them and
called them by name. When arrested he
gave his name as Frank McFadGin, and
claimed to be carrying the horse to Ten
nessee for Capt. Bill Legg, who he Sale
! had brought on to Manning drove, had
sold ali but one which was not for sale, and
had employed him to ride him home. Not.
withstanding this plausible tale he did Of
fer to trade the horse for another. The au-
thorities and other citizens OF Monroe
showed every courtesy and attention to our
officers Dixon was brought on without
requisition papers. and wisely placed in
the State penitentiarv where he is likely to
stay until he is needed for trial IN the ma
ny other cases against him. He claims
that his partner Bill Davis, and he separa.
ted at Jordan, and that he has not seen
him since. He also claims that he had
nothing to do with the attempt to burglar
ize the Levi store, and that various of-nses
had been committed and accredited to hin
OF which he is innocent
Mr. Burgess has reached home safely
with the stolen horse, and when he passed
through Manning on last Monday, he left
with the Sheriff lot of burglars tools
which had been taken from Dixon by the
officers Of Monroe. The horse was in ex-
cellert condition and did not have the ap
pearance OF having taken snch long jauut.
Supervisor Owens is greatly relieved since
Dixon has been captured aud safely land
ed; the escape caused him much worry,
and he has been anxious to have this
''horseomaniac" back in the tolls. Ibis
has been accomplished with the county
not having to pay reward
