Soldiers Cheer Like Mad.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-The United
States transports Newport and Ohio,
bearing the Oregon volunteer regiment
from Manila, arrived here this evening.
The vessels were sighted early in the aft
ernoon, and soon the shrieking of steam
whistles, the changing of bells and the.
firing of cannon announced the first batch
of returning volunteers from Manila were
nearing the shores ef California. Within
a few minutes the streets were packed
with people, vending their way to the
docks and the heights overlooking the
bay, intent on catching a glimpse of the
transports as they. steamed up the har-
Dor under the escort of a score Of vessels
which had been made ready for the ar
rival of the steamers.
The roofs of the warehouses were
crowded with people, and from scores Of
flag poles streamed the stars and stripes.
Steamers, tugs, yachts and even small
rowboats were soon making their way as
fast as possible toward the Golden Gate.
The reception committees boarded the
tug boats Sea Queen and Governor Irwin,
and headed for the ocean. On board the
Irwin were the harbor commissioners, the
officials of the National Guard of Cali
fornia and Governor Gean, of Oregon, and
his staff. On the Sea Queen were the
representatives of the press, the band
furnished by Mayor Phelan, and many
invited guests The revenue cutter Cold
en- Gate bearing federal officials, was
soon under way, and she was Joined by
the federal quarantine boat from Angel
Island. Then there were boats at the dis
posal of the Red Cross and other socie-
ties, and many chartered by private par
ties
AS the transports slowly steamed UP
the harbor, the soldiers gathered in ex-
cited groups on deck, and some climbed
into the rigging, where they shouted and
cheered like mad.
The band on the Sea Queen played pa
triotic airs, and the screaming of many
steam sirens created a pandemonium.
The health officials boarded the vessels,
which changed their course toward the
quarantine stations, where the doctors
will make thorough examination of the
men.
1t is undecided whether the Oregon vol
unteers will be allowed to land in San
Francisco before returning to their Ore
gon homes.

Of those to whom the assessment circu
lar should be sent
HEATED EXCHANGES.

After an exchange of opinion as to the
continuing and closing of the case and
the admission of evidence after the clos
ing of the hearing, argument and brief,
Senator Chandler remarked:
THE commission seems to have found
out everything connected with this in
vestigation except who wrote the assess
ment penned the officeholders, who fixed
the sums to be assessed, who directed
the envelopes and who sent them out.
The essential things have not been as
certained 1t is for the commission to do
this and fine these men"
Here he was interrupted by Mr.. Brewer
I object to these things being taken
down.
Mr.. Chandler-Very well, 1 will say it
without having it taken down."
Mr.. BreWer-Not in this room. This is
my room and 1 pay for it.
Senator Chandler am not to be muz-
zled in this room. I have my rights.
Mr.. Brewer-You have no rights ex-
cept those of a gentleman.
After further colloquoy, in which, by
implication, each said the other was not
gentleman, Senator Chandler proceed
ed to say that the man most wanted in
connection with the investigation did not
happen to be present.
Mr.. Thayer is in this city today, and
believe he has been kept away by Sena-
tor Gallinger," said Mr.. Chandler.
Senator Gallinger and his counsel, At
torney General Eastman, at once
shouted
That is absolutely false, 1t is not
true
Mr.. Eastman continued, calling Chand-
Ter liar, and said:
81 do not care if you are a United
States senator"
Senator Chandler retorted:
And I 11 s
general and are defending criminals when
you should be prosecuting them
Senator Gallinger appealed to the chair.
FIGHT AvERTED.
Senator Chandler said:
Men who call other men liars do not
need protection. 1 repeat, 1 believe Sen
ator Gallinger has kept Mr.. Thayer
away
Senator Gallinger shouted:
You don't dare to come outside this
room and say that
II will go outside and say IT, replied
Mr.. Chandler, starting for the door.
Friends restrained both men and after
few minutes of confusion the hearing
went on.
Senator Gallinger read a prepared state
ment showing the case against him to be
utterly Collapsed and protesting against
its further continuance. He then left the
room and his counsel, Mr.. Eastman,
spoke with a view of softening the harsh
words he had used to Senator Chandler
The latter made similar concession to
Attorney General Eastman, and under
such happy auspices the meeting adjourn
ed, probably never to resume.
The commissioners will not leave town
until tomorrow, but there is little like
hhood of any further action being taken.
Senator Chandler made a statement to-
night declaring that Commissioner Brew
er 'prejudiced the case and conducted 1t
in partial manner; that he showed great
discourtesy to the complainants, and
made it impossible for the case to be fair
ly and fully presented.
It is understood that Senator Chandler
will ask President Mckinley for the re-
moval of Commissioner Brewer on these
charges.

Wisconsin democrats said Not to
Favor Silver Plank.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 12-That the
Democrats of Wisconsin are still divided
was plainly shown by a canvass of the
political situation today. While the state
central committee favors the nomination
of William ]. Bryan as presidential
candidate, national committeeman Ed
ward c. Wall does not favor the 16 to 1
issue, and many gold Democrats are with
him.
George W. Peck. chairman Of the Dem
ocratic state central committee, in an
interview tonight, indorses the organiza-
ton of the Bryan club in this city last
night. National committeeman WALL
however, is quoted as saying that as far
as his position on the national Demo-
cratic committee is concerned, if the
Democratic convention declares for the
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1,
he would not care to serve on the COM
mittee. Speaking for the Democratic
state central committee, Chairman Peck
said:
The chairman of the state central COM
ittee believes, and 1 believe most of the
members agree with him, that Mr.. Bryan
should be nominated and that he will be
nominated. They cannot well, in their
official position, advocate his nomina-
ton now. If he is nominated they will
do all in their power to elect him, believ-
ing him to be the best man In the world
today. Individually, the members may
join clubs to bring about his nomina-
ton or the nomination of another, as they
may see fit, but the official work of the
committee comes when the nomination
is made"

WASHINGTON, July 12-Secretary Al

Associated Press his first personal state
ment concerning the reports that he is
about to resign from the cabiwt. When
asked as to the truth of the rumors the
secretary said:
What do you mean, exactly?'
II mean to ask whether or not the
stories that you are to retire from the
cabinet in the near future are true?"
There is nothing in these reports but
air." replied the secretary. 1 shall not
retire this year. certainly, and cannot say
as to the future. My private business
and the state Of my health will govern
my future course. These constant as
saults and repeated baseless reports are
Of course very annoying to me and ex-
tremely distressing to my family, but I
have never retired under fire yet and
do not propose to do 20 noW~ Nothing
that I have ever heard of or known of
has been so cruel as these attacks upon
me. If my critics can point to one thing

have not done that ! should have done,
I shall be very glad to surrender my
present official duties"

AGUINALDO's SPEECH.
What the Filipino Leader Said to
His Followers Independence Day.

What the Filipino Leader Said to
His Followers Independence Day.
MANILA, July IA copy of the Inde-
pendencia has reached Manila, containing
the speech which Aguinaldo made at Ia
raIac, on the anniversary of the pro-
clamation of Filipino independence. In
substance 1t is as follows:
Let us continue to defend our father
land until independence is assured, for
this is justice. We shall see at last that
the great American natiAn will acknowl-
edge the right which is on our side. That
doctrine of the great Monroe, that Amer
lea is for Americans, Is not forgotten.
Just as we affirm that the Philippines are
for the Filipinos. Some states of the
American union have arisen in our favor.
Especially is the Democratic party con-
vinced that both victors and vanquished
will lose precious lives. Thus many of
the people and many statesmen censure
President Mckinley as inhuman for hav-
ing ordered his military representatives
at Manila to seek means to bring about
hostilities with the FilipInos.
''These facts prove that they wished to
try us, to see if we are able to live up
to the second color of our banner, which
signifies courage, heroism and martyr
dom. Therefore we should not resent
this struggle with the Americans. In
spite of their expressed desire to domi-
nate all the Philippines, we'll convinced
are they that we fight with justice and
right on our side, and that autonomy is
all a show Of deceit, only serving to save
certain accumulated wealth.
1--WE have never concealed our aspira-
tions, that we aspire but to independence,
that we will struggle on to obtain it, per-
haps from those who are now our enc
mics and tomorrow will be our allies, as
they were for the overthrow Of the power
of Spain We might well accept this au-
tonomy America offers, but what can we
do with it If our ambition Is independence,
and If we are to accept 1t only to later
overthrow by force Of arms the sovereign
ty of America? AS believe It Is the In
