NOT OURS FROM SEEKING.
President Mckinley Tells Iowans That the
Philippines Came to Us from the
Providence Of God.

Cedar Falls, Ia, Oct. 1.-THE presi-
dent arose almost with the dawn this
morning and delivered at $40 in the
town of Iowa Falls, the first of his
series of addresses in Iowa. A good
sized crowd was present at the station.
The president said:
Ny Fellow-C Citizens: It is great advantage
to meet the people early in the morning. It
gives me genuine pleasure to meet and greet
the people OF Iowa as journey through the
state. to look into the faces and to feel the
stimulus of their presence and the encourage
ment which always receive as have mingled
with them. Since I was last in the state we
have added some new territory. It is no longer
question Of expansion with US; we have ex.
panded. If there is any question at all it is a
question OF contraction; and who is going to
contract! I believe, my fellow citizens that
this territory came to us in the providence
OF God We did not seek it, It is ours with all
the responsibilities that belong to it; and as a
great. strong, brave nation. we mean to meet
them and we mean to carry our education and
our civilization there. I am not one of those
who would take a laurel from the brow of the
American soldier or a jewel from the crown of
the American achievement"
The president also made short adj
dresses at Waterloo, Independence,
Ackley and other points throughout
the state.

THE COLUMBIA WON.
Tho American Yacht Beats the Shamrock
In tho First Race of the Series
for the Trophy.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE cup which
the old schooner America won so COM
mandingly against all corners over the
course around the Isle of Wight in
1891 and brought back across the seas,
will probably remain here another
year. defiance to the world. In glo-
rlous breeze, over a windward and lee
ward course of 80 miles, the Columb ia
scored against the Shamrock yesterday
in the first race of the 1899 series for
the trophy. She bounded across the
finish line fully ~ miles ahead of the
challenger, defeating her by 1O:14
actual time, or i0:S corrected time,
after allowing the six seconds handi-
cap which Colum bia must concede to
the challenger on account of her longer
water line. It was decisive contest,
a magnificent race, magnifcently sailed
and magnificently won.
London's Dem constructions Over the Race.
London, Oct. 17.-Partly owing to
the diminished interest after SO many
abortive attempts and partly to disap-
polntment over the results of yester-
days race for the Americas cup, Lon
don's demonstrations were rather
tame. Great crowds had collected on
the Thames embankment and at other
places where the progress of the race
was exhibited and cheers were fre-
quently raised for both the Columbi
and Sir Thomas Upton, but the disap-
pointment over the result was very
keen.

FILIPINO PLANS.
Letters Say the Insurgents Expect to At
tack the Suburbs of Iloiio and Slaugh-
ter the Americans.


Manila, Oct 17.-Letters from Iloilo
say the insurgents expect to gather
49, men and 5000 or 4, 900 rifles near
there. Gen. Magbanna, according to
letters, plans to attack the suburbs of
Hoilo with this force, carry the city
and slaughter the Americans.
There is great tension between the
Visayans and Tagals. growing out of
the Tagals holding Araneta, a leader of
the Visayans, prisoner since the
threatened Visayan revolt against
Tagal domination month ago. The
Visayans are incensed to the point of
rebellion. While the Tagals nominally
control only the military organization
of the so-called Filipino republic, they
have crowded out the Visayans from
the civil branch.
A body of Tagals. estimated to number
between 500 and l, 600. recently crossed
from Santa Barbara to Escalante, on
the island of Negros, for the purpose
of aiding Intepapaisio's bandits in
keeping under the inha bitants who are
friendly to the Americans.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-For
the first time in the history of
the country, the United States
Senate has been called upon
to declare a proposed amend
ment to a State Constitution
upon which the people are vet
tovote unconstitutional. This

asked the Senate to do in the
following resolution, notice of
which was sent last night. It
reads:
Whereas, The Legislature
of the Stateof North Carolina,
at its session Of 1890, sub
mitted to the people of that
State for ratification or reiec-
tion proposed amendment to
the Constitution Of said State
as follows: (reciting the pro-
posed amendment); and where
as, section 5 Of the proposed
amendment undertakes to con-
fer the right of suffrage on
one class of citizens of that
State, and to exclude another
class of citizens from the
enjoyment Of said privilege:
"Reso1ved, That section 5 of
the proposed amendment is in
COntravention of the Four
teenth and Fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution of
the United States, and that
any State that adopts said
provision as a part of its
organic law does not possess
a republican form of govern
ment, as contemplated by the
Constitution of the United
States.
Senator Pritcharl will cal
up his resolution in January
and make a speech in it's favor,
