The West Dent race meet for colored rid
ers which was to have taken place at the

postponed on account of the rain, will be
held Monday afternoon at 8 80 o'clock The

without witnessing the anticipated sport.

disappointment, and will come up again

The strike of the electrical workers is
crisis will be reached not later than Mon
day. 1t was stated by one of those on the
inside this afternoon that the contractors
were willing to grant the demands OF the
strikers so far as wages and time are con-
cerned, but that they still stubbornly re-
electrical union contends that each ap-
prentice shall be at least eighteen years
old; that he shall serve an apprenticeship
of three years, and that at the expiration
of that period he shall submit to an exam
ination by board Of examiners appointed
by the union.
The union contends that a contractor
shall not have more than one apprentice
for every four journeymen, but that when
contractor employs less than four jour
neymen he shall be entitled to the service
OF one apprentice. 1t was said today that
this is about the only real contention be-
tween the strikers and contractors.
Several imported non-union men have
been dissuaded from taking the places of
the strikers and the statement was made
at Electrical Workers Hall this afternoon
that the contractors were already far be-
hind with the work and that the trade in
the District of Columbia is practically at
a standstill.
A committee was assigned to call on the
contractors this afternoon with a view to
adjusting the difficulty, and will make a
report to the union late this afternoon.
1t was said this afternoon that the
strikers committee and the contractors Will
very probably reach some sort of a COM
promise by which the men may return to
their places early next week. There is
no question regarding the anxiety of the
contractors to have the matter definitely
settled. The strikers, too, would undoubt-
edly welcome the end of the trouble said
one of their friends today.

campaign of conquest of the ISL
ands were matters of after considera-
ton, not justified by Dewey's victory
or essentially result of the same.
When Dewey cut the cable at Manila
he demonstrated the extent to which
he looked to Washington to maintain
him until he had finished the Job as
signed to him. In his work Republic
or Empire, - Hon. w. j. Bryan has the
intelligent conception of this very
subject, of the relations OF Dewey's
accom- plishment to the existing admin
istration policy. Mr.. BRYAN we'll
says: To infict upon the enemy all
possible harm is legitimate warfare,
but shall we contemplate a scheme for
the colonization of the Orient merely
because our ships won remarkable
victory in the harbOr of Manila?
Our ships destroyed a Spanish
fleet, but we cannot destroy the self
evident truth that governments de-
rive their just powers, not from supe-
rior force. but from the consent of the
governed"
The presidents utterance in the
presence of the victorious admiral
shows as clearly as anything that he
could have said the fallacy of the adj
ministration policy. Dewey went
into Manila bay to wipe out the Span
ish fleet, not to conquer the Filipinos.
The government has brought on a
war for greed and conquest not con-
sistent with the principles upon which
the American republic was founded
or the spirit that actuated the strug-
gle with Spain. And while Dewey, in
common with all Americans, is anN-
ious. now that we are in it. to see it
through. he cannot Justly be made
party to it's Inauguration, either by
act or conviction.

The failure of President Mckinley
TO invite ex-senator Sherman to the
dinner rendered Admiral Dewey at
Washington Tuesday night has excited
a great deal of unfavorable comment
among the republicans in the capital.
Two reasons are cited why the eX-sen-
ator should have been given an invi-
tation. One is that he was secretary
of state when the war with Spain was
commenced, and the second that ne
has been prominent character in ma
tional politics and is a representative
OF the fighting Sherman family. one of
the oldest and most hOnOred of the
country. The former senator left his
home in Mansfield Monday night for
Washington, where il is his intention
To spend the winter. 1t is believed
that this slight to the Mansfield sage
was intentional. and according to a
neighbor of Mr.. Sherman in Mansfield
the former premier of the Mckinley
administration so takes it. The snub
is all the more apparent when it is
considered that Al@er, the deposed
war secretary of the Mckinley war
cabinet, was a guest. whereas, Sher-
man. who was crowded out of the
presidential council after he had been
allured from his seat in the senate to
make room for Hanna, was not ex-
Dected

The president could not even per-
form the duty of presenting Admiral
Dewey with the magnificent sword
voted him by congress in behalf of the
nation without indulging in state
ment in no way consistent with the
reasons or purpose of this govern
ment's purchase of the Philippine peo-
pie and war. There was no flaw in
your victory said the president to
Admiral Dewey. and there will be no
faltering in maintaining it," And the
Washington representative of an ad-
ministration paper gleefully eNclaims
that this declaration is in effect a no.
tice 10 the country and to the world
that 1.-The spoils of the navy will he
protected and kept by the army"
What patriotic view of the matter,
No better answer to the theory adj
vanced could be given than that fur
nished by Dewey himself at Manila
in January last. when he declared
rather than make a war of conquest
on this people (Filipinos) l would up
anchor and sail out of the harbor. "
Dewey's victory was furthermore so
absolutely HAWKES. that it left little to
be done to maintain" it. He was or
dered to capture or destroy the Span
ish fleet. and he did it. The
purchased the Filipinos Wit ont
their consent, and the present
