CALL AGUINALDO A TYRAET.
Express Hatred for the Insurgent Lad
er and Say He Is Cruel.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-Two Filipinos
arrived in this city on the bark Cal
burga, which reached this port with a
cargo of hemp from Manila after a
voyage Of 147 days Their names are
CerferinO and Morris Canon, and both
express extreme hatred for Aguinaldo.
In speaking OF the war in the Philip
pines Cerferino said:
The FilipinOs are losing ground, and I do not
think the war viii last much longer. Aguinsl-
do IS tyrant- He fools his people, who are
ignorant followers, and makes them believe
that ~ the AmsEiGans get possession Of the
islands they wiz be treated worse than they
were BY the Spauiards- Many Of them still
think they are fighting Spaniards and DO not
know any better.
When there are any signs Of weakening among
his troops, AguinaldO whips them back into
line By threatening to kill them. He and his
Heutenants have thousands Of Ftipinos who
would be good and peaceful citizens II they
were not forced to fight to help him get money
ans power.
In Manila and other places where the Ameri-
cans are IN control everything is quiet and
peaceful The people like the Open-hearted
way in which the government is carried on and
are anxious 70 see AguinaldO crushed

EATCHEZ AND LEE
Famous Steamboat Race which Took
Place in 1870 Between
the Two.

It was in July, 1870, that the Lee
backed away from her moorings at the
New Orleans levee and showed her nose
against the muddy current Of the great
river. While the housers were still busy
swinging the gangplank into its proper
place the steamer Natchez rounded to
and headed up stream also.
Every man aboard the two steamers,
from master to roustabOut, knew what
the simultaneous departure from the
New Orleans levee meant. It meant
the beginning of a race Of over 1000
miles, and one which would establish
true record for steamboats, between
New Orleans and st. Louis.
The boats were the largest and fast
est on the western waters in those
DAYS, and when they started up stream
together the news was flashed along the
wires from New Orleans to st. Louis,
and soon every way landing on the river
was a seat Of discussion as to which
boat was the better and as TO which
would win. People who lived near the
river estimated the time necessary for
the boats to reach their towns, and they
were on the banks to. see them. It can
almost be said that the two racers
passed between two files Of sightseeFs
during the entire trip.
In Memphis interest was at fever
heat, for both boats had admirers here,
and the leTee rarely saw such crowd
as was there that summer evening when
the two steamers passed. Huge bonfres
had been prepared to celebrate the com
ing. The boats passed here about eight
O'Clock, and Just before the Lee showed
below the city a laughable incident Oc-
CURED. The steamer Thompson Dean
was coming up the river ahead Of the
racers. and when she hove IN sight the
crowd thought she was the Robert z.
Lee, and admirers Of the Lee set OF the
bonfres- The Lee, however, did not
pass for nearly an hour. She was lead
ing the Natchez by IS minutes when she
passed this city, and the crowd yelled
itself hoarse as she went by with her
machinery humping and the flames
leaping from her stacks.
The crowd waited to cheer the flying
Natchez when she passed, hanging In
the wake Of her heeter sister. but max
ing as game a race as one would wish TO
see.
St Louis turned out en- masse to re-
cefve the victorious Lee, which reached
that point three hours ahead Of Capt
leather craft
The tine made has never been squaled
and the race vii live IN the history Of

ers are now dead They were typical

them are often told On decks and In cab

Der Of the state democratic committee.
In Rochester the republican Organiza-
ton, headed by George W. AIdrich,

turns, as compared with ROOsevelt's
plurality Of II, 786 last year.
After one of the hottest fights ever
known at Troy, in which ex-GOv. Black
led on one side and ex-senator Edward
Murphy on the other, the city Of Troy
has gone republican by about !, 600.
Black and Murphy have personally con-
Quoted the contest, night and day, for
weeks, and the result is the election Of
Blacks entire ticket, city, county and

years that Troy has gone republican

head Of the ticket, which was com
puted first. The republicans made a
clean sweep, electing city treasurer

his own county of Franklin by over

democrats for governor by 1900 two
year ago.
Chairman Dick to-day has revised his
figures SO as to claim from So, 900 to co.
900 plurality for Judge Nash for gov
ernOr and the rest of the republican
state ticket, and an unusually large
majority in both branches Of the legis-
lature. No senator Is, however, to be
selected by this legislature. The total
vote was, perhaps, exceeded only at the
last presidential election. It viii reach
go, 900, as compared with 794, 600 last
year and s64, 600 in 1897, with which
year the vote was compared The pIu-
rality Of Judge Nash exceeds that Of
President Mckinley IN 1896 and almost
double that Of Gov. Bushnell in 1897.
The Jones vote, although the largest
ever pOlled for a third candidate, is not
regarded as large to-day as indicated
IN the earlier returns last night. It is
not likely to exceed 100, 900 and almost
half Of this vote was cast in Cleveland,
