being secured for a couple of volun-
tner regiments at Philadelphia for SER
vice in the Philippine Islands, and it is
stated a sufficient number of members
Of the First Delaware Regiment have
signihed a desire to enlist to form a

sire to be represented In the Filipino
trouble.-Doyer Delawarean.

In q most admirable address deliy-
cred in Grace Church, Wilmington, on
Sunday evening last, Chief Justice
Charles b. Lore presented most forci-
bly, the objections to the Filipino war.
Surely such logic, such reasoning, such
eloquence as he employed must have

After all, we may have been unjust
In comparing Otis with Weyler. True,
the Official dispatches purporting to
come from Manila resemble greatly the
extravaRant claims that use to come
from Havana. But there is no certain

patches given out by the War Depart
