Many members OF congress have Wis

them ali was Senator shoup. of Idaho,
who. az chairman u the senate COM
mittee on territories Will have cons!d-
cradle Influence In shaping the imme-
date affairs Of that territory. His atti-
tude on the subject is all the more
important because he Is familiar with
the conditions attending "A territorial
form OF government, and because he is
a very resoiute man when he has eat!s-
fled himself that he IL right.
He announces himself as radically
opposed to giving Alaska a territorial
form OF government at this time. He
considers that 1t would retard rather
than accelerate the growth OF Alaska,
and that 1t would impose n most seri-
GUS burden upon the people. II would
be bad enough to do anything TO check
the development Of Aln.ka's resources.

ing that he was ready to move on Bayom-
bong at once with large force unless he
received the unconditional surrender of the
rebels.
"The lieutenant wired south for rein
forcem but twenty-four hours before
they reached him he went to Bayombong
with his little escort of half hundred men
and General Conon surrendered to him."
In concluding his report General Otis
says that it may prove fortunate that
Aguinaldo's insurrection was not stamped
out instanter upon it's inception. He says
that the natives throughout the island have
peacefully and even gladly accepted Amer
lean occupation of their towns wherever
the American troops appeared, and that
they have learned by experience that the
insurgents have made a speciality of muir
der, outrage and robbery under the guise
of esta blshng free and independent gov
ernm, Mt
They have had chance upon the with
drawala or American troops to see the diff
ference between the native and American
methods of government, and his opinion is
that they will gladly submit to the latter
as soon as they can be protected from the
former. A column of 5000 troops, The said
could at any time during the insurrection
have marched from one end of the island
to the other without encountering serious
difficulty; but the insurgents would newt
ably have closed in behind them as soon
as they passed, showing the necessity of
having sufficient troops to hold the coun-
try after 1t had been captured.

before Kimberley is relieved is expected to
take place. The censor has apparently
stopped all press messages from the front
relating to the battle, which is not regard
ed as a favorable Indication.
As to the material results of Lord Meth
uen's engagement, it is not yet clear
whether Lord Methuen's rorce actually
crossed the Modder river or is still await
ing the rebuilding of the bridge before the
artillery and equipment can cross. In any
case the railway must be carried over the
bridge before the indispensable big naval
guns can pass, because Lord Methuen's
last message showed that they were work
ed on trucks along the railroad.
Boer Loss small
1t is a significant fact that Lord Me-
thuen's cablegram makes mention of
the Boer loss, which, therefore. is assumed
to be small
A dispatch from Capetown this evening
says Lord Methuen's advance undoubtedly
is beginning to affect the Boer strategy,
and probably explains the withdrawal from
Mooi riYer. The continued presence of the
command in Cape Colony tends to confirm
the opinion that the Beers are making des-
the Dutch residents.
While 1t is impossible to obtain exact sta
tlsttcs it is absolutely certain that the DIS
affected Dutch have Joined the Beers in
great numbers, which are still increasing.
Most of the recruits, however, are young
men. General Buffers message clearly in
dicates the punishment for disloyalty hav-
ing deferred the actual holders of farms
from joining the Beers through fear of con-
fiscatGon of their property
There are now clear proofs that the loyalty
of the border Dutch Is unable to Withstand
the proximity of Boer commandos. The
rest of the colony is apparently quiet but
there Is strong undercurrent of sympathy
for the Beers. The outlook regarding Cape
Colony, however may be regarded as
hopeful.
The Beers, as well as the British, under
estimated the strength of their opponents,
and every engagement has evidently tended
to establish hearty respect for Tommy
Atkins.

RACE FOR GOVERNOR CLOSE

BOTH 81 : CLAIM MARSHALL
Few is Have Been Heard From
But Unrii the Full Returns Come
in the County Will Be
in Doubt

Athens, December 2.-(Speclal )-The most
hotly contested primary election this county
has had in many years was brought to a
close this afternoon at 4 o'clock, when the
polls were closed by the sheriff and his
deputies at various polling places in this
county
1t was the first primary election ever held
under the rules governing a general election
and the order at this place and at other
precincts heard from show a marked diff
ference in the behavior of the people. No
whisky, no mad men, but everything as
smooth as a May morning.
The friends of various candidates worked
like beavers The senatorial race dwarfed
every other office, and the friends of Sena-
tor Morgan and Governor Johnston left no
stone unturned to make their man the
winner Sufficient returns are in to insure
the election of Hon. Earle Pettus, who was
the Morgan candidate, by majority safely
estimated at from three hundred to four
hundred.
The Johnston force spent their energy by
noon and soon saw that the tide was
strongly against them, and they took their
defeat good naturedly. The populist strong
holds gave Johnston his vote in this coun-
ty. The democratic boxes all went for
Morgan. Morgan men shouting and happy
this evening.
