CHECK ON OFFICE HOLDERS
President Wishes Them Not to Be Ma
tional Convention Delegates.

New York, Dec. 17.-President Nc
Kinley has made it known within the
last twenty-four hours to certain i'm
portant republicans in the state of
New York that he does not favor the
idea of sending federal ofTice-holders
as delegates to the next republican ma
tional convention.
Ever since the days of Grant and
Hayes and Arthur and Harrison, re-
publican national conventions have
been crowded by federal ofIice-holders
as delegates. President McKinley's s
suggestions on this matter, it is said,
will be hard to carry out in some of
the southern states, and, yet, if Henry
c. Payne's resolution to elect dele
gates according to the republican vote
in all congressional districts is carried
out, the task will not be so hard.
The greatest trouble, it is said, will
come from the states of Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Min
nesota. But the president is deter
mined that no federal office-holder
shall be elected as a delegate.

"AGGY" IN DISGUISE
The Noted Filipino Realizes
His Race Is Run.
He Is Accompanied on His Retreat
by Only 500 Men and Several
Generals-Twenty Three Ameri
cans, Prisoners, Are Surrended.

Manila, Dec. 1.-THE following dis
patch. dated December 10, has been re-
ceived from the correspondent of the
Associated Press at Laoag, province
of North Ilocos: THE natives at Man
iton, province of North nocos, report
that Aguinaldo in disguise and ac-
companied by several of his generals,
left Maniton last Saturday with 500
men, going in the direction of Salsona,
from which point he intended to pro-
ceed to Cabugaon, province of Cav
agen.
AN insurgent major, claiming to be
in command of 100 Filipinos, who have
been guarding twenty-three American
prisoners at Cabugan, has surrendered.
He wrote his captains to deliver the
prisoners to General Young. General
Young's command is now divided into
six or seven parties, which are op-
Grating in the mountains about Laoag.
Several parties are hunting for Cen
eral Tino."

BRYAN AND SILVER
A Personal Friend Says He's Not in
Favor of Making it an Issue.

Wheeling, w. Va, Dec. ia Ne
braska congressman who has been Wis
iting in this city and who is a near
personal friend OF William ]. Bryan
stated to the party leaders here that
Bryan was not in favor of making sill
yer an issue in the next election and
that Gen. Warmers statement was
made with Bryan's consent, as a feel
er. He believed the rapid increase in
the production of gold had obviated the
necessity for the free coinage of silver
The party, said he, had never advocat-
ed the free coinage of silver for the
purpose of simply having the white
metal coined, but because they be-
lieved that a large volume of money
was needed. At the time there was no
indication of any great increase in the
production of gold.

MONEY GOES HIGH AGAIN
The Rate for Call Loans Jumps to 10
and Is Per Cent.

New York, Dec. 17.-Money command
ed high rates for call loans on the
stock exchange yesterday. The rates
at which the bulk of the loans were
arranged We're 10 to u per cent, but
there was a considerable amount loan
ed at 10 per cent. In the late after
noon, however, the offerings of money
were more liberal, with the rate break
ing down to and per cent, with
small exceptions at 3 per cent. The
National City bank was a heavy lender
late in the afternoon. The last loan
was at per cent, the closing quota
tions being per cent bid, per cent
asked. Money on time ruled firm at
6 per cent for all periods, and there
was a disposition in some instances,
where time loans were made, to col
lect the full interest at once.
In the stock market the stringent
money conditions We're reflected in the
morning by decentralization among the
industrial shares, which to some eX-
tent extended to the railroad list. Be
side the local money stringency an ad-
ditional unsettling influence was the
latest news from South Africa.
Numerous stop-Ioss orders were un-
covered during the day, the forced
liquidation being on an enormous
scale. There was some let up in the
pressure of liquidation, however, in the
early afternoon and the bear operators
were heavy buyers of stocks to cover
their short contracts. The railroad
shares in particular rallied sharply, the
early losses being in most instances re-
gained. Baseless rumors that Secre-
tary Gage was in this city and would
