rBIG QUARTERLY TOMORROW
COLORED FOLK FROM THE SUR
ROUNDING COUNTRY WILL
SWARM THE CITY.

SWARM THE CITY.
The advance delegation to Big Quar-
terly, which will be observed to-mor-
row, made its appearance last evening,
but crowds Of negroes are following
each other so closely, that Whining
ton will be almost overrun with them.
While a large attendance is looked for,
1t is believed that it will not be so
great as in former years. when the
spirit of the occasion was kept alive
by the aged negroes.
Religious services. with special fea-
lures, will be held in every colored
church in the city, and French street,
where most OF their churches are To-
Gated, will be their stamping ground.
From one end OF that thoroughfaree to
the other will be a ceaseless prone
made until dusk. While expecting no
disorder, as the crowds are usually
law-abiding, police arrangements win
be made, so that yiolators of the law
will be arrested Immediately. Usually
"a few men conduct speak-easies, and
the police will be on the constant
lookout for them. The visitors from
down the state, will arrive this even
ing, as there are no Sunday trains, but
the ones from Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, will reach Wilmington to-
morrow morning.

FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES
JUDGE GRAY IN AN INTERVIEW

SAYS THE REVOLT MUST BE
SUPPRESSED.
Judge and Mrs. George Gray, who
are now on their Summer vacation, ar
rived at Duluth. MINI. yesterday.
Judge Gray was said to be the only
man in the Peace Commission from
the United States that was unfavorable
to the proposition to purchase the
Philippines, and he says he would have
eheerfully come away from Paris with
QUE having done so. The views Of
Judge Gray on the Philippine question
are interesting. Speaking on this sub
iect last evening, he said:
1t was maintained on all hands that
we must drive Spain out and keep her
out To do this it was absolutely nee
essary that we should maintain posses
sion OF the islands. Professionally at
least Before we could gather ourselves
to see what should be done we were at
tackled. The fight in the Philippines
begun by Aguinaldo during the armls-
tice which was declared August 12
1898, and continued till the treaty was
ratified. is still in progress. The
Americans observed the truce with
Spain with fidelity, and Aguinaldo.
whose forces we're armed largely with
guns provided by Dewey, opened hos
tilities against the American troops
while the latter stood on their arms
pending the ratification OF the treaty
OF peace When we have maintained
the dignity and prestige OF the Amerl-
can name in the Philippines and have
successfully repelled this attack, it Will
be time enough to talk about the future
government OF those islands. l trust
that a settlement will be made that
will be entirely consistent with the
highest ideals OF American freedom"

A DASTARDLY ATTEMPT
To Rob and Burn Architect
Rice's House Last Night.
SET FIRE TO PORCH CHAIRS

AFTER THIEVES HAD ATTEMPT
ED TO ENTER THE HoUsE-MR,
RICE AROUSED. AND ENDEAv-
oRED TO CATCH THE BURG
LARS.
A dastardly attempt was made last
night to set FIRE to the residence OF
Architect Edward l.. Rice. Jr., No. SO7
West Twelfth street
About 1 o'clock this morning, Mr.
Rice went to the bathroom of his
home for glass of water and while
there the colored man. Samuel Taylor
who is employed by him, and who
sleeps in the house, came hurriedly
upstairs and informed Mr.. Rice that
some one was endeavoring to breah
into the house by forcing the dining
room shutters.
Mr.. Rice Immediately ran TO his bed.
room in the front Of the house, anc
dressed himself. He procured his re
volver, at the same time, and ran dowr
stairs TO investigate. Upon reaching
the alleyway at the side of his resi-
dence, Mr.. Rice could find no one, bu
upon going upstairs again, and look
ing out Of the window. he noticed
light fash on the fence between hil
residence and tho one next door.
Mr.. Rice paid no attention to thii
circumstance at the lime, thinkin,
that Il was caused by the light from
passing bicycle. Upon going -.wn
stairs this morning. however, he foun,
that the would-be robbers had pile,
the chairs. which were on the sid
porch, one upon another, and set fir
to the cane bottom. of one OF them.
The flames burned the cane entirel,
from the seat Of the chair frod, ant
scorched the arms of the chair abov,
but fortunately Rined no headway
owing to the hard character OF tn
wood Of which they were built.
Investigation failed to disclose an
marks OF violence upon the windo,
shutters, and no trace OF the incendI
aries or robbers was notable. MI
Rice is inclined to the theory that IN
work was done by parties who had
spite against him, but can think OF n
one who would take such steps to in
iure him.
Upon the discovery being made, IN
detectives were notified OF the fact
and are now at work upon the case.
Captain Rice has an Office in n
Equitable building. and is well know
in Wilmington. He was at one tim
captain OF Troop b, N. G. ID. Had Car
tain Rice gone to the side window {
the front room before going dowr
stairs he would have been able I
have reached the ntruders with hi
shot gun, but the noise made by his d,
scending the stairs. evidently frighl
ened the burglars away.

FOUR CARS WRECKED.
FAST FREIGHT ON B. & o. DASHEsl
INTO ANOTHER FREIGHT AT
CHESTER.

INTO ANOTHER FREIGHT AT
CHESTER.
A serious railroad wreck took place
yesterday on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad at Chester, when a freight
train came around the curve at Chest
nut street and dashed into another
freight train standing on the track,
near Walnut street crossing.
Four cars and caboose, were badly
wrecked. and engine No. 1872 will need
many repairs. This engine was in
charge of Engineer Edward Walton,
of Philadelphia, and Fireman John
McDwyer.
The train which was crashed into
had been blocked by local freight.
Wrecl1ing crews from Philadelphia had
one track open after four hours work,
Meanwhile the through trains were
run over the Pennsylvania, railroad,
No one was hurt, but several Of the
crew had narrow escapes.
Passenger service was interrupted
for several hours, and all trains were
transferred to the p, w. & B. railroad
Two Royal Blue line trains passed
through this city over the p, w. & b.
tracks. one north-bound, due at Della
ware avenue station at 1245 p. M, and
one south-bound, at 1.2O p. m. AS the
second train was being transferred tc
the B. & o. tracks, near French street
the draw bar OF one of the sleeping
cars was pulled out, which caused
some little delay. but no damage.

PREVENT RECKLESS DRIVING.
POLICE COMMISSION TO LOOK
INTO THE MATTER OF HOSE
CARRIAGE DRIVERS.

INTO THE MATTER OF HOSE
CARRIAGE DRIVERS.
The collision of the Friendship Fire
Company's hose wagon with tele-
graph pole at Sixth and King streets,
while responding to an alarm OF fire
yesterday afternoon. will probably re-
suit in some new arrangement regard
ing the drivers of the carriages.
The arrangement in existence now
among the various companies is to the
effect that when an alarm is sent in
that the first member OF the company
who a secures a horn. which hangs in
a conspicuous place about the fire
house, assumes charge of the hose
carriage, drives the horse, and is hose
director at the fire.
BY many this is considered a bad
plan, as an inexperienced driver may
obtain possession of the reins and ac-
cidents are liable to occur. The com
panies are not sufficiently provided
with funds to pay regular driver foI
the carriage, and that is where the
difficulty lies
Commissioner Pyle, in speaking OF
the accident of yesterday, morning
was OF the opinion that Il was due e
reckless driving, and It is probable
that some suggestions will be mad,
either to Chief Sasse. or the Fire Com
mittee OF Council by the commission
ers toward a different arrangement

The Phoenix combination truck and

Tillerman Callahan turned on the
cock, of the tank, and climbed upon
the roof, but some unknown party al
once shut of the stream. The part,
who did the act, Mr.. Callahan states
could not have been a member Of thu

done on several previous occasions.
The blaze was in an ugly place t
