has received the following message from
,Aguinaldo. oabled from Hong Kong. under
date OF Nay II:
The Filipino government, in accordance
with the general feeling OF the country,
has decided to continue the war at all costs
until independence is seoured.
The Filipinos energeticslly refuse the
American peace overtures, based or re-
strlcted authority coupled with promises
OF subsequent selt-government.
The Filipinos demand a fulillment of
the articles OF the American constitution
and. treaties contracted by the American
representatives when imploring a Filipino
alliance in combating the spaniards.
IAN the Filipino generals support Agui-
naldo. General Lunas reported overtures
for peace are untrue. Our army is near
Manila simultaneously attacking the whole
American limo, The heat and rains are
causing many CASUALTIES in the American
srmy. All tho hospitals are crowded with
sick and wounded. -Four bundred of the
Cincinnati regiment have been imprisoned
by General Otis for characterization in re-
fusing to fight. The regular troops quar-
tered in Manila and other towns are quiet.
The volunteers are abused and are always
at the front with scanty rations
The discomfort between the Americans
and the Europeans is general"

AN OFFICIAL CLASSIFICATION
OF Cotton as Protection to the Planters Is to Be Proposed
the Legislature OF Georgia

Atlanta Ga. Nav I5.--There IS strong
probability that the legislature OF Georgia.
az its next session in October viii take up
for consideration a plan looking to the
uniform classification OF cotton by sworn
inspectors all over the State at the points
from which the staple is shipped. Ii Is
the opinion Of great many farmers OF the
state, factors and commission men that tho
general depression and low prices of cot
ton are not entirely due, as commonly re-
marked to oycrproduction but to a lack
OF competition largely in the purchase OF
the stable.
AT the present time there Is, according
to the best information, practically no
classification OF cotton in the STATE or Ia
the South, certainly no uniform classic
cation. As is known the cotton is classed
by the consumer and not By the producer
end the standard watch is pu. on he mar
ket by the former must be accepted BY the

markets and there. j. is stated. boards Of
arbitrators pass upon TIE class OF all the

the final say as to the price to be paid for
the raw material.
This state OF affairs results In the reclaim
alton of thousands of dollars annually by
the consumers upon the intermediary
brokers and indirectly therefore upon the
producers The people who at present put
the class upon the staple at independently,
and wherever the cotton falls OFF In quail
lty. according to their standard, they hold
the right TO come back upon the Southern
houses for the amount claimed TO be snort.
It is learned by the department OF agri-
culture that during the past year one arm
in the State lost as much as $4,000 by this
process OF reclamation. The movement to-
ward reform in the matter OF classification
arises, It is understood. not from the fact
thar the Intermediary brokers are put 10
a loss but because It acts directly upon
the producers.
The proposal TO establish a uniform
classification It is held. must not only be
final in rs nature. but it must be entered
into by all or the majority OF the cotton
producing States. BY this means II Is the
belief OF Commissioner stevens that the
arbitrary methods employed abroad can be
done away with.

MANY ASPIRANTS.
ANY Number of Seventh District Men
Want to Go to Congress.

The Seventh congressional district
campaign, so far as the present time
is concerned, seems to be warming up
in good shape, although the lines Tor
the contest have been squarely drawn
only on the Republican side. The Popu-
lists have several candidates but in
that party the race now seems to be
gO-aS-y Ou-pleaSe.
The Republican candidates are Ches-
ter Long and w. NJ. Wallace. Harper
and Kingman county are by them rep
resented and the Populist candidates
are also thick in that immediate vicin-
ity. There is Brown of kingman and
Fairchild of Ningman and A. J. Titus,
senator from Anthony, and DR.. O. w
Muir of Harper. Four candidates in
two counties. Jerry Simpson is not in
the fight this year and insists that he
has no notion of going into it.
Wichita has an avowed candidate, I.
p. Campbell, lawyer Mr.. Campbell
says he will not be a candidate unless
the Sedgwick county delegation is for
him. There are several other men run
ming for Office in the state who will
not be candidates unless they are able
to secure their home delegations.
The Democrats at this time have no
candidate in the Seventh district.

He is a fusiOnist from a Democratic
standpoint. He has been mayor of Har-
per several times and is one of the
substantial citizens there.
The Republicans are fighting over
Long and Wallace. The POpulists be-
Iieve Long will be renominated, in
which event the opposition claims the
dissatisfied Republicans will defeat him
