PARIS, Sept. 20.-The council Of min

in > few days. Dreyfus has relinquished
his appeal for reversal Of the iudg-

Aguinaldo Requests Permissioa
to Send Officers to Confer
With Otis.
Willing to Release the Ameri'
can Prisoners He No:7
Holds.
Too Much Importance Not to Be
Attached to the Coming
Conference.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-A cablegram
has been received at the war depart
ment from General Otis, relative to the
American prisoners in the hands of the
insurgents. General Otis says that
General Macarthur has been an.
preached by d prominent Filipino, who
asked if he were willing to enter into
negotiations with Aguinaldo for the re-
lease of American prisoners held by the
Filipinos.. He also asked whether Gen
eral Macarthur would permit Fill
pino army officer to pass through the
American lines in order that he might
confer with General Otis. While nc
names are mentioned in the dispatch,
it is inferred that included in the list of
American prisoners to whom the nego-
tlations relate are Lieutenant Gilmore
aud the Is men of the Yorktown who
were captured by the insurgents on the
east coast of Luzon, Major Rockefeller,
who was captured beyond the Amer
ican lines one night shortly after his
arrival in the Philippines and about
half a. dozen private soldiers who have
been reported missing.
The text of the dispatch as just made
public by the war department is as fol-
lows:
'MacArthur reports from Angeles
visit of two insurgent officers with re.
quest for permission to send into our
lines American prisoners and to send to
Manila prominent insurgent general Of
ficer for conference. The requested in.
terview granted and insurgent officers
in Angeles return north this morning
with information" as -. p. :.

garding conference with the insur-
gents three of the cabinet members, af.
ter the cabinet meeting, agreed in ex.
pressing their opinion that too much
significance should not be attached tc
Aguinald ldo's proposals. Secretary Root
himself said thatsso, m amy, similar con
ferences in the past have come tt
naught, that he doubted very mucl
whether this one meant anything to-
ward the establishment of peace and
good order in the islands.

CAMPAIGN OF Personal ABUSE.

1t was hoped that the present city
campaign would be conducted on lines
free from personalities, but that hope
has been effectually knocked in the
head by the ring organ which is at its
usual dirty work of Juggling the per-
sonalities of the Democratic candi-
dates into the contest and subjecting
them to the fire of its ever loaded mud
batteries.
This sort of thing does not pay. 1t
makes friends and votes for rather than
against the candidates so abused. Still,
it is a favorite method of the Intelli-
gencer and has probably become sec
ond nature. Personal abuse being
practically its only weapon against
Democrats in the nation it is not a
matter for wonder that it sticks to
that policy in the local campaign.
Decent people regret to see it, how
ever. The candidates on both sides
are well known gentlemen against
whose personality no one should
wish to say, or, we believe,
can honestly say, a word in
disparagement. Even were this not
true the public is not interested in
personalities but in the important is
sues under discussion, and sneering
personal illusions to and personal
abuse and ridicule of candidates will
be resented by decent people of both
parties and will recoil with double
force on the side that permits such
disreputable campaigning methods.
The Register is quite content to al
low the ring organ a monopoly of this
sort of thing.

The services were conducted by the Rev.

1t was a very simple service. Rev.

career of the lead statesman, who he
said, had at last become the pure and
highest type of an American citizen. in
whom his countrymen reposed honor,
trust and confidence.

true-hearted citizen. and legislator. and

Rev. Couden, the blind chaplain of the
House. made a touching prayer, and the
exercises were concluded with the sing
ing by the quartette TO the organ accom-

When Rev. Newman delivered the bene-
diction the entire assemblage arose, the
galleries as we'll as those on the floor.
The distinguished company departed in
the order in which they had come. all
passing down to the area by the casket.
President Mckinley paused for a long

LET DEMOCRATS DO THEIR DUTY.

Inc cases OIL Via dnQ BrOndru were
settled in the proper manner by the
House yesterday, SO far, at least, as the
ton is concerned. both Taylor and
Hayes, who had voted with the Repub-
licans on Saturday, voting with their
party on the direct issue.
Via having no certificate of election,
was properly ousted, and Logan, Demo
crat, who possessed the regular certi-
ficate, was given the seat on prima facia
title until the case shall be regularly
decided on its merits. AS neither Bro
hard nor Dent were shown to have a
clear prima facia title the seat from
Taylor was properly left vacant until
this case, also, shall be finally decided
by the regular committee on privileges
and elections.
A fairer decision than this could not
be asked by either side, and the Regis
ter heartily c~ongratulates the Demo
cratic majority in the House on it's
careful adherence to the rule of strict
impartiality and careful justice. Its
conduct in this respect is in most de-
cided and refreshing contrast to the
gross unfairness and intolerant parts
anship of the Republican Senate.
In this matter, the Register advises
the Democrats to stand together as a
unit and do their whole duty regardless
of the clustering threats of the revOlu-
tionists in the Senate. If the latter
shall decide to carry out their threat
to Dust legally elected Democratic Sen
ators in retaliation upon the House
Democrats for having done their sworn
duty, that will be their affair and the
Democrats can afford to let them go
ahead with their revolutionary work if
they dare.
If the Republicans shall elect a Sen
ator by such means the Democrats of
the House can recognize the legally
elected Democrats of the Senate who
may be thus illegally ousted, proceed to
elect<a Democratic Senator and then
bring contest proceedings in the United
STAKES Senate. If there is n sense of
justice whatever in the latter body
and the Register believes there is-the
nan whom the Democrats would pre-
sent must be seated, for no man elected
by the Republicans under the circum-
stances would have a shadow of legal
title to represent this State in the I'm
tied States Senate. To hold otherwise
would be to hold that popular elections
and popular government are failures.
If a partisan State Senate may Dust
legally elected members at will. and its
subsequent acts be held legal, then
there is no longer any use in the people
holding elections.
And the Register declines to believe
that things have come to such a pass.
