The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-02-28

The settings on the Opera House
stage last evening were about the
finest and most realistic yet intro
duced by any minstrel troupe that
has yet visited this city. The per-
Torrance was first class in every
particular, and Primrose and Dock
staders MINISTRIES rank among the
best on the road. Lew Dockstader' 5
local hits and songs were up to date
and were received with roars of
laughter. Manager Baylis is to be
congratulated on giving our people
such first class attractions.

SENATOR George Gray's term ex-
pires on Saturday. The members
Of the Legislature should see that a
Y. S. Senator is elected this week.
There is one thing certain, Senator
Gray will not succeed himself That
is an impossibility and we are sur
prised that men calling themselves
Republicans should even advocate
such thing Delaware has been
Democratic for years, made so BY
laws that were an insult to respec-
table citizens and especially those
who dared to vote the Republican
ticket in the State of Delaware.
Voters were denied the right or
privilege Of paying their taxes and
every thing was done to prevent
Republicans from voting and the
men who did it for the Democratic
party were rewarded. The late
Ambassador Bay ard always looked
out and used his influence with the
Administration to see that the men
who kept down the Republicans
were rewarded with an Office. Sem
ator Gray has rewarded the better
element of his party, although the
heelers in numerous instances have
not been forgotten, when the good
things were being handed around.
The county constables were created
for their especial benefit and the
treasury of New Castle county was
looted Of over $4,000 to pay these
Democratic hirelings. And then
some men advise a Republican to
vote for man that represents the
Democratic party of Delaware.

Gen. Harrison Gray Otis Has Con- ference With the President
 at Washington.
THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION DISCUSSED.
MT. Mckinley Declared to Have Implicit Confidence ia Gen. Otis in Manila and Arrangements Have Been Made to Fur nish Him All the Men He Needs to Bring the War to Successful Issue.

Washington, July 5.-President Me Kinley and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, who arrived here Monday from the west, had an extended conference yes- terday on affairs relating particularly to the campaign in the Philippines. They are long personal friends and the opportunity of discussing questions of importance, in which they are mutually and deeply interested, was enjoyed by both. During the afternoon Gen. Otis took luncheon with the president, sub sequently went driving with him, and in the evening, in company with Adjt. Gen. Corbin, dined with him at the white house. Late last night, when asked by representative of the Asso- ciated press about his conference with the president, Gen. Otis replied:
 Really, there was nothing significant or spe- cially important about it. We discussed pretty thoroughly the situation in the Philippines, and in a reminiscent way, talked of incidents in the of 3J years ago, in which we both had a part Beyond that there is little to be said may say that the president is quite satisfied with the affairs in the Philippines as they are being conducted by Maj. Gen. Otis. He has i'm plicit confidence in Gen. Otis and that confi- dence is not misplaced. Gen. Otis who, by the way, is not q relative of mine, combines all the excellent qualities of the lawyer. the diplomat and the soldier and have not doubt that he will prosecute the war in the Philippines to Q successful conclusion.
 The president is fully determined to put down the insarrection in those islands. His mind is made up on that point. Arrangements have been perfected to furnish Maj Gen. Otis with all the men he may need to bring the rebellion to a successful issue. The volunteers. who have distinguished themselves as soldiers have sell dom done. arc being brought home as rapidly as possible. They fought brilliantly long after the contract for their services had expired, but they fought willingly and without single com plaint as noble men always fight.
 Gen. Otis was asked whether his con ference with the president Monday had any reference to the rumors that he might take place in the cabinet.
 ''I may say as to that, replied the general, decisively, that not the faintest suggestion has ever been made to or by me upon the subject by tue president. There is absolutely no foundation for the story"

Dubuque, la, July 5.-Judge Shiras, of the federal court, yesterday decided the famous O'Brien county, Ia., land case by ruling that title in the dis puted land is vested in innocent pur- chasers.

The lands were reopened and settlers went in and seized property purchased from the railroad. After many years of liti- gation the court now enters decree holding the original purchasers are en- titled to retain land occupied by them.
