yet be forced into court to settle
portion of the Virginia debt, The
Federal Government holds $751;
900 of Virginia bonds purchased
prior to 1860 as trustee for certain
tribes of Indians which, with in

slipped into the bill appropriating
for the reimbursement of States for
the equipment of troops for the
Spanish war at the last session of
Congress, requiring the Secretary
of the Treasury to sue any State or
it's representatives guaranteeing
such bonds. When this suit is
brought. it is believed that it will
involve general settlement of the
debt question between Virginia
and West Virginia of proportion

1t has been evident for long
time to the country at large, and it
should be to Mckinley by this time,
that the war in the Philippines is
real war. The Filipinos will fight,
they are we'll armed, have plenty of
guns, cannon and ammunition, and
as it is impossible to blockade their
sea coast they can get all they want
as long as their resources are not
exhausted, and they are fighting
for independence. They are accli-
mated, familiar with the country,
endured by nature to the hardships
of tropical life, and, as the cam
paign against them has shown, they
are possessed of surprising recuper-
ativo power. When the war began

IMPOSING CEREMONIES.
The Monastery and College of the Holy
Land, at Washington, Dedicated by
High Church Officials Sunday.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-One of the
most remarkable religious institutions
in the country, the monastery and col
lege of the Holy Land, established by
the Franciscan Friars of the Holy
Land, was dedicated Sunday with i'm
posing ceremonies in which Cardinal
Gibbons, Mgr. Martinelli, Bishop
Blenk, of Porto Rico; Mgr. Stephan,
head of Indian missions in this coun-
try: Mgr. Sharetti, auditor of the pa
pal delegation in Washington, and
many other prominent figures of the
Catholic church participated. Dur
ing the afternoon flag raising gave a
national and patriotic phase to this ex-
tensive undertaking. The institution
is situated near the Catholic univer-
sity, on an eminence commanding a
view of the beautiful university
grounds.
A special branch of the Franciscan
order for centuries has devoted its en-
tire attention to the preservation and
the stables of Bethlehem, and other
sacred relics of the life of Christ. As
many Americans are joining the pill
grimages to the holy relics, it has been
ceemed advisable to establish in this
country a college which will prepare
those who will carry forward the work
of preservation.

APPEAL FOR REVISION.
1t Will Be Withdrawn by Dreyfus in Order
to Allow the Government to Take
Steps for Pardon.

The premier, NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau,
mas promised definitely to propose a
pardon for Dreyfus at next Tuesdays

LONDON, Sept I'm. DeBlowitz the
Paris correspondent of the Times,
says:
Il learn that Capt. Dreyfus will
shortly withdraw his appeal for re-
vision of the Rennes trial, which will
leave the ground clear for the govern
ment to take immediate steps to par
don him. This pardon will not annul
the civil and military consequences of
the verdict and he will, therefore, no
longer belong to the army.
There is nothing, however, to pre-
vent him from applying to the court OF
cessation to quash the Rennes trial
whenever the new fact required by law
is produced. When liberated he will
settle in the south of France, as the
mem bers of his family do not wish to
expose him to such demonstrations of
sympathy abroad as might be used
against him by his adversaries at

however, occupied seat on the plat

greeted by Chairman Franklin Head:
Congressman Gaines, Ralph M. Easley
and other members of the programme
committee of the civil federation con.
ference on trusts.
Mr.. Bryan surprised the committee
by declining to speak at the night ses-
sion with w. Bourke Cochran in ac-
cordaDce with the programme previ-
ously arranged. Mr.. Bryan explained
that he did not wish to let the impress
sion go out that he was to enter into a
debate with Mr.. Cochran. For that
reason he said he would not speak
with Mr.. Cochran at the same session.
Mr.. Cochran was sent for and he and
Mr.. Bryan discussed the situation.
The committee withdrew to allow
the two orators to settle the dispute
among themselves. Mr.. Bryan assert
ed that he never said he would follow
Mr.. Cochran with an address on the
same evening. If the committeeman
got that impression from the converse
ton he h ad with them over the long

they misunderstood him. Mr. Coch-

offered to flip a coin to determine
who should have the privilege
of delivering the closing ad-

this proposition. Mr.. Cochran then
agreed to appear at any time the COM

then changed to meet Mr.. Bryan's
wishes. Mr.. Bryan said he was anx-

peated that his only reason for chang

Beers TO FIGHT.
1t is Probable That the Last Hope of
Peace Has Vanished in Transvaal.
The Transvaal Government Repudiates
Suzerainty and the Right of Inter
ference in Internal Affairs and
Adheres to Franchise.

LONDON, Sept 1S.-The reply of the
Transvaal government to Mr.. Cham
berlain's latest note is said to cover
nine pages. 1t is eminently of the
negative and inconclusive" character,
which Mr.. Chamberlain declared
would compel the imperial government
to consider the situation afresh. 1t
practically repudiates suzerainty, re-
verts to the seven years franchise, and
declines to give equality to the Dutch
and English languages in the volks-
raad. In short it is politely negative
and defiant. The full text may not be
available for day or two, but it will
not change the aspect of affairs. The
cabinet will probably meet on Wednes-
day or Thursday to consider the next
step.
The Morning Post says:
1.-The Beers mean to fight. That is
the plain English of it."
The Standard says:
THE Transvaal note is unsatisfac-
tory and indeed a dangerous compost
ton. 1t might be going too far to say
that the last hope of peace has vanish
ed or that diplomacy has said its
final word, but it is idle to deny that
the rulers of the Transvaal have
brought their country very close to
the brink of disaster which the British
government done it's best to avert.
The Daily Chronicle says: 1--WE re"
greet that the Beers, by rejecting fair
offer, made in fair language, have
taken line giving fresh points to the
argument of their enemies, that Presi-
dent Kruger is a shifty and impractica-
BILE politician, fit only to be spoken to
across line of bayonets."
The Pretoria correspondent Of the
Morning Post, in his summary of the
Transvaal reply, says the Transvaal
interference, and denies that either
State Attorney SHUTS or the govern
ment offered a FIVE years franchise
otherwise than on COnyngham Greene's
dSSuEauCS IAdI Iuc Imperial SONCLA-
ment would withdraw its claim of a
right to interfere in the TransvaaPs
internal affairs. The correspondent
adds: The reply anticipates final al
tentative of British note by saying
that further suggestions on the lines
indicated are vain"
All the dispatches from South Africa
Monday morning talk of the immi-
| nence of hostilities and the prepare
ton for them. In Johannesburg it
seems to be taken for granted that the
Orange Free State has approved Presi.
dent Kruger's note, and promise active
assistance in the event of war.
An official telegram posted at Volks-
rust says that the Transvaal, with the
assent of the Orange Free State, repu-
dates British suzerainty and adheres
to the seven years franchise.

changed a Few Words, When the
Negroes Opened Fire on the
Whites-Fight Followed

CARTERvILLE, Ill, Sept. 1S.-Carter-
vile was the scene of a bloody riot
about noon Sunday in which four Ne
groes were instantly killed and one
wounded unto death while two others
received slight wounds. Trouble has
been lowering ever since the militia
was recalled by Gov. Tanner last Mon
day. The white miners of this place
have refused to allow the Negro miners
to come into town, always meeting
them and ordering them back. Sun
day however Is Negroes, all armed,
matched into town going to the
Illinois Central depot where they ex-
changed a few words with the white
miners there, when the Negroes pull
ed their pistols and opened fire on the
whites who at once returned the fire
when a running fight was kept up.
The Negroes scattered, but were
followed by the whites, running up
the main street, while the remainder
took down the railroad track. Here
the execution was done, all who went
through town escaping. After the
fight was over four dead bodies were
picked up and another mortally
wounded. They were taken to the
city hall, where the wounded man
was attended to and an inquest held
over the dead ones.
Trouble has existed here off and on
for over a year, but no fatalities oc-
CURED until June so, when a passenger
train on the Illinois Central railroad
was fred into and one Negro woman
killed. These Negroes were on their
way to the mines, having come from
Pana. A short time afterwards
pitched battle ensued between the
union and non-union forces during
which time the dwellings occupied by
the union Negroes were burned.
Several arrests were made and the
parties are in Jail at Marion on
the charge of murder awaiting trial.
The mayor has taken every precau-
ton to prevent further trouble and
make an attack. It is now rumored
however that the state militia will be
here within a very short time. If they
arrive no further trouble is looked for.
superintendent Donely of the Brush
mines. where the Negroes are employ
ed, reported that the Negroes are
worked up into frenzy and that while
he is doing all in his power to hold
hem in check, he is afraid that he can
lot do SO much longer and that unless
che militia arrives shortly further
trouble may be expected.
Two more dead negroes were found
ate Sunday evening near the Brush
mines, swelling the total killed to six.
Cunmins, the wounded negro, is re-
ported dead, making total of seven
killed.
