TOO MUCH APPolNTMENT

From the Eufaula Times.
The Admission Republic calls attention to
the fact that the appointive power of the
governor of Alabama is greater than the
elective power of the people. 1T says that
the people only elect the following officers:
GOVERNOR. $500. -. ......... ....$S,O0O
Secretary of State. $500. ...,...... LOW
State Treasurer. ........... ....... ....'' z,ioo
State Auditor.......... $3.50. ........''' 1'foo
Attorney General..... $500. .......... z,oVU
Superintendent of Education...... -. ZOO
Total....... ........ ........ '''......'.Slt'eVo
On the other hand the governor appoints
the following officials:
President Railroad Commission. 5000
Two Associate Members .......... 6,Ooo
State Tax Commissioners. ......... 4,O09
Three Convict Inspectors....... 80. - o'ovo
Total...... .......... ........ .......''.Sl9'oVV
Besides the governor always has the
appointment of number OF county
officials. Then these officials so appointed
by him have the appointment of a large
number of minor officials, so that 1t may
be readily seen that in connection with the
veto power the governor becomes very
powerful individual, with almost pre-
dominating influence. 1t is true that all
the governors may exercise this large
power for the very best interest of the
state, yet even if that were granted 1t
would seem that the people themselves
should have the selection of all these
officials. Let the people say who shall
spend their money and perform their bust
ness.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 15.-Erving Win
STOW, secretary of the nti-Imperialist
league, today received the following let
ter from Andrew Carnegie, dated Skibo
castle, Ardgay, Aug. 2:
Il have asked my cashier to send you
another NG90 to enable you to carry on
the good work. 1 am greatly pleased
true patriots as traitors. 1t is they who
trample American principles under foot
who are traitors, not we who stand for
the doctrines of our fathers"
Mr. Winslow laughed heartily when
asked If the Anti-Imperialist league in
tends inviting Admiral Dewey to a ban
quet in Boston when he reaches this
country.
"It is simply a joke of some newspa-
per man." said Mr. Winslow. II said in
a joke to Gamaliel Bradford or some
other member of our committee that
now the Home Market club had given
UP its intention of banqueting Dewey
and had postponed it's banquet the Anti
Imperialist league ought to invite him.
THAT was all there was to it, and I
suppose the newspaper man heard of it.
1 have no knowledge of what Dewey's
views on Imperialism are beyond what
has already been published. Many ex-
pressions of Deweys opinion have been
printed in the literature we are sending
out"
In support of the claim that Admiral
Dewey is an anti-imperialist the league
offers official correspondence between
the various American consuls and Ad-
miral Dewey.

GUERIN AN OUTLAW,

PARIS, Aug. 15.-The warrant for The
arrest of M. Guerin, president Of the
Anti-Semite league, who, with sympa-
thtzers, has been barr1caded since Satur-
cay last, In the offices of the league, has
been placed in the hands Of Magistrate
Fabre. Guerin is now regarded as an
outlaw, In a state of rebellion, since his
notification of the issue of the warrant.
He cannot claim the right of a citizen
Of exemption of arrest from sunset to
sunrise, and the persons guarding the
headquarters Of the league, numbering
about ty, are in the same boat
Strict orders have been given to arrest
every cne attempting TO enter or leave
the building. Three of Guerin's friends
who attempted to leave the place this
morning were arrested. They all carried
s1X-chamhered reVolvers and hatchets
and what the Frenchmen designate as
American knuckle- -dusters," otherwise
hrass knuckles. The prefect of police Is
still awaiting orders from the govern
ment as to the action to be taken against

arranging for meeting in Switzerland,
IN order to form an international asso-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-The Bur-
letin publishes a startling story from
the Philippines regarding Lieut.. Gilmore
and the party from the Yorktown who
were captured by the Fidpinos, and
who have been reported from official
sources as being we'll cared for and we'll
treated.
1t appears that when the Americans
reached San Isidor, where the Yorktown
members and some soldiers and civilians
had been imprisoned, they found the
names of the prisoners scratched on the
walls of the JAIL Some letters from the
men were found secreted under stones,
and a Spaniard who had been intrusted
with several presented them to Gen.
Lawton. The letters told of the hard
fer, and begged that MD be sent them.
The men complained that they had been
starved, beaten and bound and, more
over. were in rags. One of the letters,
signed by Albert Lowcrshon, said that
the Spaniards had been treated very
lady, worse than the Americans, and
that hundreds were dying of dysentary
and other diseases, and the government
took no notice of sickness prevailing.
In his letter Lowenshon, who was for
merly of the steamship ZeaIandia, gave
the nst of prisoners held by the Filipi-
nos as follows: Prisoners from York
town.. C.. Gilmore, U. S. N; W. W.

RENNES, Aug. 15.-At o'clock this
evening M. Labori was removed in an
ambulance to the residence of Prof
Basch, in a suburb of Rennes. He stood
the journey well, although naturally fa-
tigued. The doctors tonight are extreme
ly hopeful of speedy recovery, but con-
slider it would be unwise for him to re-
turn to court until there is absolutely no
danger Of relapse.
M. Demange has decided to ask for an
adjournment, which has necessitated a
written application by both NJ Demange
and Capt. Dreyfus, who have already sent
letters to the president of the court-mar-
tial. Col. Jouaust will undoubtedly ac-
cedc to the request, but he cannot grant
al adjournment for more than two days,
when the application must be renewed.
Capt. Dreyfus wants the session post
pCned until Monday next, when it is hoped
that NJ. Labori will be able to be present
Dreyfus has written two letters to NJ
Labor. The first, on hearing the news
of the attempt to murder the lawyer, is
spontaneous expression of his shocked
feelings. The second is a touching epistle,
at the dastardly outrage, profound graft
tude to NJ. Labori for his heroic cham
pionship and heartfelt wishes for his
happy recovery.
The correspondent here of the Associat-
ed Press today obtained complete con-
f1rmation of the report that the pockets
of M. Labori's coat We're rified yester-
day, while he was lying on the ground
wounded. Not only were the pockets of
his coat emptied, but an attempt was
made to steal the wallet in which were
important papers referring to the court
martial, including his notes for the cross
examination Of Gen. Mercier M. Labori
has himself related the incident. He had
just fallen and saw one of two mer. run
to his side. One OF thesc sG
His coat must be taken off He will be
too hot
The speaker then took the wounded ad-
vocate's coat off and another man seized
the wallet. M. Labori, however, retained
his presence Of mind, and refused to al
low the wallet to be taken out of his
hands, putting it under his head for a
pillow and holding 1t with one hand. The
coat was shortly afterwards put on again
Onarriving at his residence M.Labori ask
ed his wife to look into his pockets and
see If their contents were safe. Nine.
Labori found the pockets completely
emptied. Luckily no papers Of Importance
were in the pockets, which only contained
personal letters, including menacing let
ters received on the previous day. The
rifling of the lawyers pockets of the pa
pers and the attempt to steal his wallet,
while no effort was made to appropriate
his watch or money are regarded as clear
evidence of plot in which several men
were implicated.
The man who actually fired the shot. It
appears, was only one part of the ma
chinery of the conspirators In spite of
the extensive search made for the would

impression IS gaining ground that he is

REGARDED AS CRITICAL.
Washington Opinion of Affairs In
the TransVaaI.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The situation
in the Transvaal is regarded by officials
here as critical. Thus far, however, the
stats department has not received a word
from any source concerning the strained
condition of affairs, and there is no dis
position to take up the question of neu-
trality and the care Of our interests in
that locality unless the war issue is act
ually framed. Charles Macrum is the
United States consul stationed at Pretoria.
He has sent a number of reports, all
of them dealing with commercial affairs,
and has not touched on the delicate poIiti-
cal conditions existing. The United States
has also consul agent, ]. H. Manion,
at johannesburg, but he has not been
heard from since he was appointed. There
have been recent press reports from
johannesburg that colored blacksmith,
claiming to be an American, had been
roughly handled by the field cornets, and
that he had raised the question of his
American citizenship and had appealed
to the American representative. The state
has been expecting to hear from Mr..
Manion on this case, but nothing has
come thus far.

FIVE MORE REGIMENTS.
More Troops Are to Be Sent to the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-secretary
Root gave his attention largely to army
matters today. He had long consulta-
tions with Adjt. Gen. Corbin relative to
the army, its strength, equipment and
supplies, these being considered in con-
nection with the statements that have
been furnished by the heads of the diff
ferent bureaus.
The question of enlisting and the Sc
lection of officers for additional volunteer
regiments also was under consideration
but it was stated that no decision to call
for more troops was considered.
While 1T is said five regiments will be
organized the number has not been de-
f1nitely determined upon. Neither is it
settled whether all shall be infantry regi-
ments. 1t has been suggested that an
other cavalry regiment or two may be of
great advantage in the Philippines The
only objection to organizing two cavalry
regiments is said to be the great diff
Guilty, and cost Of transporting horses to
the Philippines.
The recruiting now going on will con-
tinue The new regiments may be or
ganized at some other posts than where
the first ten have been stationed, as sew
eral localities are anxious to have them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The problem
of transportation in the Philippines has
been under consideration by the war de-
partment for some time. 1t is expected
that at the end Of the rainy season it
will be necessary to move the troops some
distance from the railroad, and at the
present time the means of transportation
are not sufficient for a large army and
extensive operations The difficulty has
been met by sending mules to Manila in
large numbers. The quartermaster's de-
partment has already shipped about GOO
of these animals and will send 800 more
very soon. There are nearly 1000 more
owned by the department, which will be
sent, If needed. These animals will not
only be used for transporting supplies in
wagons but it is intended to organize a
pack train for carrying guns and equip
ments where teams cannot be utilized.
The indications are that the campaign
after the rainy season is to be conducted
not only along the railroad where Gep.
Ois has confirmed most of his operations,
but that the interior of Luzon will be
penetrated.

a pronunciamento, which was given out

George S. BoutW ell. The document as
serts that the anti-imperialist movement
has made rapid progress in the past five
months and declares:
This league is now carrying on the
contest, and it will continue to carry it
on, upon the ideas and belief that the
president of the United States especially
is responsible for the war and that Pres
ident Mckinley, at any moment, or the
United States acting through him, Or
through a successor, can bring the war
to an end. We purpose to aid in bring
ing the war to a close, and in advance
we reject any and every scheme of COM
promise
"Our experience justifies the expression
that the body of anti-imperialists the
country over will reject the questions Of
domestic trade, subjecting them one and
all to the single purpose of comprehensive
public policy-the purpose to bring an
army of the United States out of the
Philippine islands, with the least posi-
BILE delay, and without delay to recognize
in the inhabitants of the Philippines Of
Cuba and Porto Rico the right of self
government agreeable to the principles
Of the declaration of independence, and

eff II is true" said the governor, '"that
Mr.. Croker really favors the nomination

follow him, and then there will be prac-

pCrters in the Tammany organization.
With rammany supporting him there will
be but very little opposition in the East

"a statement has been made purporting
to come from Mr.. Croker to the effect
that what he said complimentary of Mr.
Bryan was not intended as ar indorse-

it may be that Mr. Croker sincerely
