A DEMOCRATIC GAIN
Chdi, man Jones on Recent
 Report About AguinoldO.
The Senator UninfIueRCed by inc FilipiEO Democrat - NOf Quite Satisfied About Dewey Either. May Be Republican

New York, Oct. 14.-Senator James K Jones this morning stated empnat- icaIly that the fact that Aguinaldo has become a democrat will not have the slightest effect upon the anti-ex- pansion plank in the democratic plat form.
 We don't know that he has gone democratic" said Senator Jones. So far as I can make out the press cen sor in the Philippines refuses to let anything come to this country that will be harmful to the republican party. And, besides. whatever Aguin- aldo may think on that score it cannot possibly have any influence upon our politics.
 linen, the anti-expansion plank is going to stay?"
 Yes, sir, it is As I believe in my own existence. I believe in that clause in the Declaration of Independence which says that all just power of gov ernment is derived from the consent of the governed, and the democratic party has stuck to that principle throughout How, then, can we sane tion movement which attempts to force our own idea of government up on another nation? No, sir I can never be one of a party which violates the principle imbued in that clause in the Declaration. for I believe that principle to be the wisest and one that will hold good throughout all condi- tions and times.
 Just because we don't approve of their government, is that any reason why we should set ourselves up as die tators? We don't approve of the czar's s government of Russia. Why don't we catch the czar by the scruff of the neck and yank him off the throne?
 But applying the principle of the bad boy and the beneficial whipping, isn't there, then, some excuse for the present state of affairs in the Philip pines?''
 Not bit of it. The Filipinos are not our own children; they are not of cur race. Since we have upset their former government the United States is under certain moral obligations to help them form a new one, but we have no right to force our government upon them''
 When asked if Admiral Dewey would make a good candidate for democratic president, Senator Jones said that he  did not know what were the admirars political opinions.
 But if he is republican," he added, he will hardly do for a demo- cratic candidate"

velop in the war between the Boer re- public and Great Britain. That is the only course left open, as the conditions in South Africa are so complicated and our relations with both sides are so delicate that to abandon neutrality by so much as a hairs breadth necessarily would lead to new and unforeseen com plications.'
 This authoritative declaration tallies with one made by the inspired Berliner Post, in which the policy of neutrality is likewise advanced. However, aside from the government press, every pa per and every person high or low, con- demns England. Many also seriously blame the government for it's inac- tivity.
 The first Boer success is commented upon sympathetically by the German press. The leading military organ, the Militaire Wochenblatt says: Great Britain underestimates the strength of the Boer forces which are 60,0O0 men well equipped. She will need 10000 thoroughly equipped men to subdue them.

VIEW OF A MAGNATE
President Galloway Before
 Industrial Commission.
His Opinion of Labor UnioRS-TheY Are Too Arbitrary, He Thinks. He Doubts fhe Efficacy of Laws for Arbitration.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Tha industrial commission this morning heard the testimony of Mir. Samuel R. Galloway, president of the New York Central * Hudson River railroad. MT. Cal!away has been president of that system a year and a half, and formerly had been president at different times of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, New York, Chicago & St. Louis, among other roads. He has been connected with railroads since 1863, and with lines from the Atlantic to the Pacific. MT. t:alla- to questions contained in the conlniis sion's syllabus. The road of which he is president is a part of the Vanderbilt system.
 The witness said the New York Cen tral &, Hudson River road had com piled with the law regarding the use O. automatic couplers within the first period allowed. The company is exrer- inenting with electric light to use it on it's trains, but it had not thus far been very satisfactory. He explained the rules of the company in relation to it's employees. It had no objection to the men joining the brotherhoods.
 He did not see how voluntary arhi- tration could be of much benefit, and he did not see how arbitration ,ould be compulsory. He had no objection to arbitration between the railroad off, cials and the employees, except as U vital questions, which the company would not consent to arbitrate. He would not like to arbitrate a lueslicn of wages, as that should be decidel by the board of directors. The pay roll of the New York Central is $17,O0O, 900 year, and an increase of 10 per cent in that amount would prevent the road from earning any dividends.
 Speaking of labor organizations gen. erally. he said that some years ago they were intoxicated with their power, and they attempted to regulate even the running of trains. They were exceed had confined their efforts largely to looking after their own affairs and taking care of their own people That, he thought, was a good thing, and he believed they had been beneficial to a considerable extent. He thought the railroads would not object to limited liability act but he did not see why the railroad should be picked out in such matters. He didn't see why it should pay for damage more than a farmer in the case of man injured in handling a scythe.
 '"The fact is,'' he said in referring to rates, the rates are so low that there is nothing to discrimi- nate on.'
 The New York Central has been able to keep pace with the low rates by the use of the steel rail and powerful To- comotives, which allow the running of very long and heavy trains. He didn't | know how roads got along when they | were not able to use these facilities | The making of rates Is a process of nVO1Tfi00

There are five criminal indictments

CARNEGIE'S GENEROUS OFFER.
WILL GIVE ATLANTA 100000 FOR
A FREE LIBRARY.

Proposition Formally Made Through
the Young Mems Library AssOcia-
tiOn-COmmittee VIII Lay the Mat
ter Before the City Council Which
Must Provide Site, and Maintain
the InstitutiOn-If the City Fails,
Citizens Will Take the Matter Up.
Atlanta, Feb. ANDREW Carnegie. the
great millionaire steel manufacturer and
philanthropist, has offered TO give 100000
for the establishment of free circulating
library in Atlanta, upon condition that the
city shall give the site for the library and
maintain it at a cost of approximately
$1,000 a year.
The offer was formally made through
the Young Mems Library Association
this afternoon by Mr.. w. NJ Kelley,
Southern representative of the Carnegie
Steel Company. Mr. Kelley is a director
of the Young Mems Library Association,
and it was through his references to the
good work being done by that institution
in his correspondence with his home Of
fee, that Mr.. Carnegie was led to take an
interest in the matter.
The directors of the library who met this
afternoon to receive the proposition from
the great millionaire will lay the matter
before Mayor Woodward, and then IT viii
go to the City Council for the action OF
that body.
VIII of Course, BE Accepted.
There seems 10 be good reason TO believe
that the city will undertake 10 fulhi the
requirements laid upon the gift by Mr..
Carnegie, and that the library will soon
materialize. IL the city cannot itself give
the site and pledge the necessary support
for the library, it is believed that private
citizens will do So The offer is too mu-
nifcent 10 go unaccepted.
MIR. Carnegie recently gave quarter OF
a million for library in Washington upon
condition that that city should MAINTAIN
it al a cost of $4,000 year. His princely
gift for the establishment OF the Carnegie
library at Pittsburg, Pa, is matter or
world wide note.
Mr. Aaron French of Pittsburg, who re-
Gently gave $4,000 TO the Georgia School
of Technology, is expected here next month
at the opening of the school, and has IN
vited Mr.. Carnegie to accompany him. Mr.
French has been invited to address the IL
brary association. and If Mr.. Carnegie
comes he viii also be asked to speak.
