Tho following resolutions we're
adopted at the Meeting OF Cigar
Makers Union, No. 296, Of this city:
Resolved, That we, the members of
Cigar Makers Local Union, No. 206, Of
Wilmington, Deb, declare our most
earnest protest against the annexation
Of the Philippine Islands, believing
that the incorporation OF millions of
the semi barbarous inhabitants Of that
country into the enjoyment OF all the
rights Of labor possessed by citizens of
the United States, would be a deadly
blow to the inherent privileges of the
intelligent American mechanic and
producer, which demands our energetic
opposition. In our trade, we see about
thirty-tiye thousand people In these
islands, engaged at cigar and cheerot
making, at wages ranging from five to
fifteen cents per day, and IL the project
of annexation should go into effect, it
would be but short time when a large
part OF their product would come into
competition with American working
men. Nh
Resolved, That tho addition Of the
Philippine Islands to the territory of
the United States, by introducing at
one time vast food Of half-clad, half
civilized people, who under the present
protective laws governing immigration
would not be permitted to land on the
shores Of the United States, is the in
oculation OF an insidious poison into
the creative industries of our country.
the effects Of which will spread all over
our land, and draw from the toiling
wage Garner the Just recompense for
his labor in producing the wealth Of
the nation.
Resolved That the true friends of
labor should use their most effective
means to prevent the assimilation of
these remote and foreign peoples and
islands into our free government of the
people, by the people, for the people,
by demanding Of the representatives in
Congress their incorporating resist
ance to all attempts to degrade the
workingmen of the United States by
these schemes of Asiatio colonization.
Resolved, That copies of these reso-
lutions be sent to our Senators and
Congressman and that they be pub
lished in the local papers

Of history, a lifelong study Of the sub
ject has not had great ethical valre in
developing that reverence for the Con-
situation which every patriotic citizen
ought u feel. Their point of view seems
TO DO, How can we get around tbs
constitution But it seems to me
that the proper aim and desire Of every
American citizcn should be, how can
wo best maintain and defend the Con-
stitution? This duty Of every citizen
is well voiced 10 the following quota
ton from Mr.. W. ID. Guthrie's ad-
mirable book on .sThe Fourteenth
Amendment. after quoting the solemn
words Of Junius to the English people,
about the proper reverence for their
unwritteu Constitution, he says:
As to our constitutional rights, eter-
nal vigilance and uncumpromising en-
forcement must be our rule of conduct,
if we are TO preserve and perpetuate
American constitutional institutions.
We should never tolerate any infringe
ment of constitutional rights, no matter
how slight or trivial. federation Of
even insignificant violations Of consti.
tuiional rights serves to weaken our
sense of those rights.

FOR THE DELAWARE RIVER


Colonel Raymond Coufers with thu House
Coipfnittee Relative To Proposed I'm
pfovsments.
PhIadsiphia Ledger Washington special
Col. Raymond Is here in compliance
withsa request from Chairman Burton
ii tie river and harbor committee.
He was 10 have had aconference with
Mr.. Burton this Afternoon, but the
cbsequies Of the late Representative
Dingley in the hall of the House pre-
vented this. The conference will take
place tomorrow. The point to be dis
cussed Is the propriety Of making an
appropriation at this session for ex-
tending the present improvement Of
the channel OF the Delaware River
beyond the 90 feet to which It is
limited by existing law, and deepening
it 10 30 feet. The recommendation Of
the engineers was for an additional
appropriation Of $500. 900 for complet-
ing the 26.foot channel, and that esti-
mate was submitted by the Secretary
Of the Treasury. 1t is now desired to
increase this estimate to $500, 900, but
unfortunately, the practice Of the
Treasury Is against any increase OF
estimates after they have been sub.
mitted. Chairman Burton is in sym.
patty with the movement to secure a
30 foot channel, but the rules and the
practices are against granting greater
sum than has been recommended by
the departments, and, therefore, no
and other members OF the committees
are not disposed to depart from the
precedents.
The proposition is TO make the appro.
priBtion $500, 600 with authority to con-
iinue the improvement to depth Of
30 feet. 1t Is urged that as 26 feet

LAST HONORS TO DINGLEY
An Impressive State Funeral in
the House Of Representa-
tiVes on Monday.
THOUSANDS VIEW THE REMAINS
House Employees Join the Line
and Take a Farewell of the
Dead--Dlstinguished
Men Gather About
the Bier.

Washington, Jan. 16. "A state funeral,
almost majestic in its impressiveness,
WAS given the late Representative Nell
son Dingley at noon today, In the
House of Representatives, where. he
has SO long been such a commanding
figure. The President, his cabinet, dis
tinguished members of the Diplomatic
Corps, members Of the Supreme Court,
Senate and House and distinguished
men in military and civil life were
ranged about his bier on the floor Of
the hall, while the galleries, 10 which
admission could be obtained only BY
card, were occupied by the families OF
those who sat upon the floor and other
prominent personageS invited to be
present. Some of them, like q dele.
cation from the New York Chamber Of
Commerce, had come from a distance
to pay their last tribute OF respect to
the dead statesman. Not since the late
William d. Kelley Of Pennsylvania was
given state funeral In the House
during the Fifty-first Congress, while
President Mckinley was chairman OF
the ways and means committee, has
such an honor been conferred upon
member of the House.
The remains were taken from Hotel
Hamilton TO the Capitol at 10 o'clock,
and were borne into the hall of the
House OF Representatives by a squad
OF Capitol police, under the direction
of Sergeant-at- Arms Russell. The
casket was placed on bier in the
area in front of the marble rostrum of
the Speaker, and for m hour the
public, which would have no oppor-
runity to witness the official cers-
monies later, was allowed to view the
remains as they lay in state. Thousands
of people streamed through the main
door down past the 'caslset and gazed
upon the calm, serene features Of the
dead during that hour. Some could
with difficulty be induced by the police
to move away from the casket.
The pages and other employees OF the
House entered the line and took last
view Of the body. Mr.. Dinghy was
well beloved by the employees Of tho
House, and there were tears in many
eyes.
The decorations of the. hall were
simple but strikingly beautiful. Palms
relieved the rigid corners and palm
leaves arranged in the form of trefoil
planted in wreaths of smilax, tied
with long streamers Of purple, adorned
the walls. A cluster Of roses and palm
leaves was arranged on each section of
the brass railing about the rear OF the
hall This simple scheme OF decora-
ton eliminated about the rostrum,
beneath which the remains lay.

With reference to the matter Of the

1nnts kept by the retired treasurer,
IN. Ross are correct, but that q
6plicated situation has been made
tugh violation Of his directions. His

1Ar it is we'll TO explain that under

&o the general fund and the school

4n, all revenues go into the general
pd, and are thence distributed. the

4s necessary to transfer to the general

He'd that Kent county's share Of the

wing that much in hand. he sent the
brmers Bank at Dover check for
bout $40, 900 to meet the needs Of the

aiming $4,000. He sent with tho
beck a letter OF instructions that the

opsidered the net amount Of so, 900 as
bvered by the $40, 900 in the old school

A terrific gale ragged on the bay yes

trap and had no chance to escape
drowning.
The ship was riding easily when tho
shippers Of other vessels, anchored
close by. retired for the night. When
daylight dawned, no signs Of the
Andelina were visible. Over the spot
where the ship rode at anchor the night
before only q danger signal buoy lamp

Late this afternoon the vessel was
located. Sho lies on her broadside
under 23 fathoms of water, close to

When the Andelina entered this port
she was manned by crew Of nearly 20
men. Some deserted and others were
discharged, until only Is were left.
The only list of victims obtainable is
that given by Percy b. Buck, an APP
