An Unjust Accusation.

.
Another Democratic break that has
been severely criticised was the nccusa-
ton made on the floor OF the senate sew
eral days ago, to the effect that the vote
from Wood county for Morris and Kidd
had been fixed" by the Republicans.
The matter was brought up In the
meeting Of the senate committee on
privileges and elections yesterday. Mr..
Smith called upon Mr.. Osenton, who had
voiced the accusation, TO explain. Mr..
Osenton stated that the report had been
conveyed 70 him by n Democratic mem
her OF the house, who said he had been
SO Informed by Republican member OF
the house. There was no disposition on
the part Of Mr.. Smith to take Mr.. Osen-
ton TO task, but he wanted 10 trace the
source of the accusation. On rejecting.
however, he, as well as the other Re-
publican members of the committee, de-
clded that 1t would be wise to ignore
the accusation, and not dignity 1t by an
investigation, Mr., Smith Is one of the
fairest-minded men in the senate.
The latest political rumor, which Is
yet still In the condition of a secret, Is
that ex-Secretary OF State w. T.. Chill
ton Is making an effort 10 buy the
Charleston Gazette, preparatory TO
making race for the Democratic nom-
inaton for the United States senator
ship two years hence. The report, how
ever, Is not given muc. credence. Mr..
McGraw Is not very apt to let his paper
so to II man who is at least not one az
his most ardent supporters and who
might become so desperate as to aspire
to Mr.. Eikins' seat
The legislative ball will come off. ac-
cordlng to programme. FridaS night.
II will be one OF the most elaborate ever
given in Charleston. Special music has
been engaged. and the committee OH ar
rangcments is sparing neither expense
nor energy to make It attractive in ev-
cry feature. The people OF Charleston
have contributed llberally towards 1t.

LONG DISTANCE VIEW
OfSituation ut Manila by President
OfEurOpcan Filipino JIuiu,


LONDON, Feb. THE president Of
the European Filipino juntn, in an in
tervlew with 4 representative of the
Associated Press to-day, said:
ut is perfectly clear that the upfor-
tunate hostllities at Manila were occa-
stoned by an attempt of the Nebraskans
TO find Il prctext TO obtain control of the
Singaloon water works. The Amcri-
cans, for months. have cndeayored
frultlesSly TO induce the Filipinos to
withdraw from those works, us the lat
ter fully recognized their immense
strategic Importance. BY the destruc-
tion OF tho village between the sen
and the river bank the Americans Sc
cured vast open space. from which
Manila might otherwise have been at
tackled under cover.
AS the Americans have captured tho
water works; the Filipnos will have
TO retire TO the mountains of San Matco
and BoSo-Boso. which. as they are only
an hours distance. command the cap
ttol. and 1t will be impossible to dis
lodge them from there.
The whole Finpino strength win now
be devoted to the protection of the
country outside of MunIlu, MS AsuInal-
do Is aware that even if he captured
the city he could not hold il with
Americans warships In the bay.
'The Amcrlcars will also have TO de-
pend for their food supply on shipments
abroad. as the insurgents will cffeciu-
ally cut OFF the supplies from the in
terror"
The Filipino agent concludes with as
scrtinG that AgoncillO, Aguinaltlo's
agent In America. and tie F.uropean
junta. had INCREASINGLY advised Aguin-
aldo not 10 commence hogtilities. but
ne aaaeo, we Fiiipihes resnrdcd the
landing of American rcinrorccmcnis as
q threat, and this. added to the procla-
nation Of General Otis. refusing politI-
cal rights to the natives, and innug,ir-
hting n military regime, had strailed
native opinion to the breaking point.

North Dakota Banker Acquitted Of
the Charge Against Him.
Fargo, N. D., oct: Elm the United
States court Judge Amidon made q.
pioneer DECISION on the point whether
signing or verifying a report contain
ing a false, entry Of the condition Of a;
national bank by the president to the
controller of the currency can be con-,
strued as making a false entry. He
held that it, could not be unless the
bank officials personally made the en-
try or directed it. AS a result former
State Treasurer Booker, formerly pres
ident of the defunct Grand Forks Ma
tional bank, is free man. A verdict
OF acQuittal was directed Immediately
on the opening Of court yesterday
morning and the case was dismissed.
The court held that the indictment, in
stead of charging that Mr.. Booker had
falsified the returns, should have
charged aiding and abetting. The 9TH
er case, charging embezzlement, will
not be tried this term.

Simply because everybody knows

Rumors of Trouble Grow More Per-

Rumors Of Trouble Grow More Per-
500 sistent.
st. Paul, Oct. 26.-There is some ,rea-
son to believe that the employees Of
the Great Northern system are about
to serve an ultimatum on the officials.
At daily meetings held in st. Paul
during the last ten days Representa-
tives of the employees have been FORM
glating their grievances. One meet
ing was held ut the Merchants hotel
.Monday night and another Tuesday
morning. One great grievance Of the
conductors is the requirement Of
bonds. 1t is argued that the bonding
method is an easy way of blacklisting
the men, because the bond company
can easily be given q hint to refuse
bonds to men whom the company con-
siders dangerous. 1t is also considered
that the new system gives the COM
ipany too. much power over the men.
A dispatch from Willmar says that q
strike Is not improbable. A few days
ago the chairman of the mems COM
mittee, who was employed as yard
master at one of the company's d.
visional points, was relieved from
service, and, while this may have no
significance whatever, it is not COM
mented on favorably by the men. The
use of spoilers, who find it necessary
to make q record by making reports
in order to maintain their position, is a
grievance Of the trainmen over the en-
tire system.
