of the American correspondents in Manila
regarding the censorship there.
The Times says: Gen. Otis cannot con-

might just as well cease playing the os-

A GRAVE MISTAKE, SAYS ALTGELD
While Chairman Cooling Remarks that

Missed a Great Opportunity ard Ceases
to Be Democratic Possibility, Mr.. Har-
rison Says the Men Who Invited Him
Are Too Obscure to Merit Recognition.

Chicago. July 17-Mayor Carter II. Har-
rison to-day sent the following letter to
the committee in charge of arrangements
for the Democratic meeting at the Audi
torium July 20:
"W. F. Cooling. Esq, Chairman Commit
tee of Arrangements:
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of
the 14th instant, in which you ask me to
deliver an address of welcome at the Au-
GitCrium July 20 to the Democratic Nation
al Committee and a large number of
other prominent Democrats of America
/ regret my inability to accept. In ordi-
nary circumstances l should be only too
glad, both as Mayor of Chicago and as
Democrat, to welcome the National Com
mittee or any number of prominent Demo-
Gratis to Chicago, the city in which the
platform of 1896 was framed and in which
W. j. Bryan was elevated to his present
leadership of the national Democracy. l
cannot but think, however, il would be
an absurdity to welcome these distin-
Euished men under the auspices of self
constituted committee whose personnel Is
too obscure to be known even in its home
city Had this meeting been organized
under the direction of Democrats Of
regular type and known party standing
it would have afforded me great pleasure
to be present. In the existing circum-
stances, while thanking you for the hon
or. / must beg leave to be excused Re-
spectfully yours,
CARTER II. HARRISON"
What AItgeld and Cooling Say.
When a copy of Mayor Harrison's let
fer was shown eX-GoV Altgeld the latter
said:
II am sorry the Mayor looks at 1t in
that way. He has made a grave mistake.
He has lost a golden opportunity. Should
he come 10 the meeting and I1ake rous-
ing Democratic speech he would place
himself at the head of the Democratic
Party of the State. But he has lost the
chance now. / am sorry for II"
When Mr.. Cooling read the Mayor S
letter he made the following statement:
I'VE have given the young man in the
city hall the opportunity of his life, which
he has failed to appreciate. There is a

To Be Considered by the Cabinet.

The "round robin Of the newspaper cor
respondents in Manila will be made the
subject of Cabinet consideration at the
regular meeting this morning.
The administration has been placed,
without doubt, in very embarrassing DO
sition. Suddenly, as out Of clear sky,
all the rUmors that the facts were being
suppressed have found confirmation in a
formal document, signed by men whose
names are guarantees OF their honesty
and intelligence. At the same time il
would be demoralizing to the discipline
and morale Of the army, IL Gen Otis
should be removed because a number Of
correspondents have felt it to be their
duty TO speak plainly or MS alleged mis-
representations. On the other hand, there
would be a public clamOr If the admin
istration should order the correspondents
to be deported from the island as a penal
ty for having told the truth. This would
be a climax which would injure the ad-
ministration beyond degree. There are
some members of the Cabinet who are
extreme enough to say that the corre-
spondents ought 10 be sent away, but II Is
not likely that the majority Of their col
leagues OF the President himself will agree
10 this radical course.

Nineteen passengers went from

splendid regiment, the 5lst Iowa.
They all reported very satisfactory
time and say that pandemonium
reigned as the last section, bearing
the Council Bluffs company, rolled

up in Audubon county, and she has a
wide circle Of friends. For several
years she was one Of the successful
teachers of the county.
The groom is the pastor of the
Baptist church, of this city and,
although not long resident here, has
made many friends. He is man
thoroughly consecrated to his work.
Many beautiful presents were re-
ceived from relatives and admiring
friends of the congregation, also from
the patrons and pupils OF two of the
schools where Miss Netf had taught,
Number Three, Grove; and Number
Five, Pymosa.
