FOR BRYAN OR M'KINLEYi
Reformers Discuss the Question of
How They,Wfll Vote.

BOSTON. Dec. 2.--s.Shall We vote for
Bryan or Mckinley ?"was in effect the SUBJ
ject mainly discussed at-the annual dinner
of the Massachusetts, Reform Club to-
night. The meeting was one OF the liveliest
in the history of the organization.
The report of Secretary Charles Warren
reviewed the progress OF the war in the
Philippines, and likened the proclamation
of President Mckinley regarding the Fill
pinos to the proclamation Of King George
III during the American struggle for inde-
pendence. The presiding officer, Col.
Charles r. Goldman. said that he was an
anti-imperialist. The crimes OF the pres
ent administration have not been passed
upon by the people yet, he said The coun-
try could not be blamed until the people
had voted. Rather than vote for the pres
ent chief executive" he said, II don't know
who would not vote for" [Applause.I
Charles Francis Adams said there was
only one course to pursue. He knew that
If he lid not vote for Mckinley he would
have to vote for Bryan. THAT cannot
do. gentlemen" he said. and was applaud
ed Il suppose 1 know Mr.. Mckinley as
well as any of you. He would be very like
ly to be a better President in his second
term than Mr.. Bryan in has first. If we
had Mr.. Cleveland to turn to. the result
would be different" Tremendous ap-
plause.1
Mr.. Godfrey Morse said: II did not vote
for Mr.. Mckinley at the last election. but
have not thrown mud at him since.
would like to see third candidate nomi-
mated, who would stand for free trade. a
little less paternal government and gold.
and nothing else" tApplause.l
Gamaliel Bradford sa.u: 'I believe Nc
Kinley intends to make this country an
empire believe he fought with Spain for
political purposes"
Richard Dana said he should vote for Nc
Kinley ION the money question" He was
an antl-expansionlst. however.

INTERVIEW WITH HANNA.
The Senator Not Out of Active Politics
by Good Deal.


NEW YORK, Dec. e-The World to-mor-
row will publish the following interview
with Senator Mark Hanna:
"If anybody thinks l am out Of active
politics let him wait till fight starts up
and see where ! will be. have never yet
a man like me. who has gone so far in
this thing called politics, and who has
worked so faithfully for his party. would
crawl out just before another national
campaign. when responsibilities have
grown heaviest and every party leader is in
honor bound TO do all he can for the cause?
Does any body suppose would put myself
before the country on such a proposition?
Now, I'll tell you about this chairman
ship of the Republican national commit
tee. You see. i am not a member of that
committee; am simply chairman OF it. My
term will not expire until after I have
called the national convention OF Republic
ans in 1900. When that convention meets
shall have to be there chairman of
the national committee and make my re-
port. Then the convention will proceed with
its business. After this is accomplished the
national committee will be selected by the
delegates from the various States. This
committee will then meet to elect a chair
man. simply ask you. who can speak for
politics and have declined to accept an
other term as chairman Of that committee?
1t Is simple folly to say man declines .

CHINA RESPECTS JAPAN.
One of the Results of the Late War
In the Far East.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2.-Jutaro Komura, the
Japanese minister to Washington who Is
in Chicago, spoke to-day Of affairs in the
Orient. NO" said he, in answer to a ques-
ton, there is no political alliance between
Japan and China and TO assert that there
Is is to talk nonsense. There is Q growing
friendship between the two nations and
governments. That is one of the direct and
logical results of the war China formerly
despised Japan as a small and nconse-
quential state. The war taught her our true
quality. China now respects US and she has
been immensely impressed with the modern
methods, the western arms and science and
education which Japan has adopted. Our
friendship with China is commercial and
educational One hundred and fifty Chinese
have been sent recently by the Peking gov
ernment to our schools to learn there what
are the methods which have transformed
Japan" He thought the rumor Of war be-
tween Japan and Russia absurd. 1.-THE
relations between Toxic and st. Peters
burg" said he. "are not in the least
strained. We have no contention with
Russia in Korea or elsewhere. Our rights
are defined there and there is no occasion
for conflict. You see Japan is too busy to
think of war. She has her hands full with
her own immense industrial development
and she has all she can do in pacific ways
in aiding China to adapt herself to modern
conditions. No, no, we are not thinking of
war. but of developments and peaceful con-
quests"
The minister expressed himself pleased
with the understanding between England,
the United States and Japan to secure the
open door in China and TO prevent the par
tition of the ancient empire

THAT GLORIOUS TRINITY.
Text of Proclamation ApOtheOsixing q
Rial, Bryan and AEuinaIdo.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-Mail advices
from Manila give the following extract OF
the Filipino proclamation, notable for its
references to w. j. Bryan. Rial and
Aguinaido, the substance OF which was
cabled and published some weeks ago. The
proclamation was published at Tarlac in La
Independence, the official organ Of Aguin-
aldo, Oct. 2S. AS translated from the Span
ish the preface reads:
"A message of gratitude to the illustrious
Democrats OF the United States, the true
representatives of institutions founded on
liberty, proclaimed by the great men OF the
North American Republic in the meeting,
will be celebrated tomorrow in the capital

mated the country which interprets very

After announcing the official programme
of the assembly the proclamation con-
tinues:
"All the preparations that have been 60
ing on for the past few days are certainly
worthy of the illustrious head OF the anti
inpeI ialist party American by birth, he
has been educated in and practiced the
teachings of the greatest Presidents OF the

consent that ambition for power shall send
to useless and shameful sacrifice the sons
of America, and for that reason has SYM

he recently acclaimed the hero of this GEN.

for justice: for that ideal justice OF which
Zola spoke in an address 10 the French
youth.
''In this struggle which we sustained
with the old sovereignty the word of free

idea into execution was Aguinaldo.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2-The caucus of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-General Zoe
Wheeler, In a personal letter received here
to-day, dated at Angeles, Luzon, says:
There are twenty different tribes in this
island, and very few of them would submit
to Asu!Laldo's rule. Aguinaldo and his gen.
erals would like TO govern, because Ii would
give them great power, and many of his
soldiers like the war because, for the first
time in their lives, they have authority TO
carry gun. They live by taking what they
want from the people. Many Of them are
robbers, who rob defenseless people of their
money, and sometimes murder them. IL We
should Withdraw there would be warfare
and anarchy in the islands, and the well-to-
do people would get some strong govern
ment 10 come and take control.

filed with expressions of people OF the
United States who are called anti-imperial-
lists, and / think were IL not for these ex-
pressions the insurrection would DE closed. =

JUDGING from reports received from the county seat, there is evidence of a lack of duty on the part of some one, either in the sheriff's office or the dis trict attorney. The grand jury few days since brought in an indictment against Dora McCillis, alias Garnett, charging her with murder. The woman has been, since she was bound over to await the action of the grand jury, and since the finding of the indictment, con- fined in the county hospital, where she is allowed her freedom to walk around and there is no sign of guard to pre- vent her escape, should she SO desire. After the refusal of two different courts to reduce her bail from the $l5, ,0O0, set by Justice Williams, it hardly reflects credit on the sheriff office for the pres- ent status of the case. II the woman was in need of medic, ] atlendace 1t was no more than light that she be taken to the county hospital and given the nec- essary treatment, but when she is able to walk around it looks as though some- thing should be done to prevent her escaping. This incident is causing a great deal of connect by the taxpayers, and it is needless to gay that it does not meet with their approval.
