ADDICKS GROWS DESPERATE
Gives Notice Thai a Union Republi-
 can Only Can Be Elected.

Wilmington, Del, Feb. 4.-John Ed ward Addicks is evidently growing desperate in view of the determined attitude or the regular republicans in the legislature. It has been made clear that Addicks cannot be elected to the United States senate, and on Friday night at a dinner in Philadelphia ten dcred by the candidate to his sup porters in the legislature, he made a brief speech and practically declared that it must be him or no one else. He said that Q union republican must be elected to the senate. To that prOpO sition on it's face the regular republi- cans do not object. and if the man who holds that the honor belongs to him by virtue of political contributions would step aside and put up some re- sponsibIe member of his own faction such a man would be elected.
 Last night the Addicks city commit tee in Wilmington held a meeting and afterward flourished a club over the heads of the regular republicans by de- claring that the union republicans would nominate a full ticket at the municipal election next June. If that is done the democrats would have a complete walkover, although this city has a certain republican majority of 1000 The threat of the union repub- tcans is taken as an effort to force the regular republicans in the general assembly to vote for Addicks, but it will not avail him anything It is not the union republicans that the regulars are fighting, but the man Addicks himself Two years ago the republi- cans acted together and elected their mayor and other city officers. but if the Addicks men carry out their threat Wilmington will have democratic mayor for two years.

ENGLISH VIEWS FOR YOU
Sneering Of inc Revit w-GIobe Wants
 Something in Reiu n.

London, Feb. 4.-The Saturday Re- view, which is always snecring at America, says: Ut shows President Mckinley in an ulfavorable light, since he posed as the fIierd of peace. while really playing a cat and mouse policy to exhaust the arts of peace un- til he could get ready for war It adds: ''Englishmen cannot take a pride in the knowledge that the cats bounce on Spain was successful be- cause of the loyal friendship Of Eng land. Such loyalty comes near to dis loyalty. There is something more pre- cious than American friendship"
 The Globe says: Our moral sup port Of the United States has been Of incalculable value to them by their own admission. In return we require something more than Admiral Dewey's platonic approval of tte civilizing mis- sion of England'' The paper then proceeds to demand more assistance in China than heretofore and that British commerce should not be ex- cluded from territories whose acqui- sition has been facilitated by Eng lands action by high tariffs

APPLAUD WOLCOTT
Unusual ApprObdfiOn for inc
 Colorado Senator.
His MaSferfuI Address in Behalf of the Peace TreafY-AIIen Of Neb- raSKa 10 Empty inc Senate Chamber Monday.

Washington, Feb 4-ThiS was an other day for expansion oratory in the senate In the open session the speak CTS were Mir Chiffon of Texas and MT. WoIcott of Colorado. MT. Chiffon made a constitutional argument in support of the Vest resolution, his principal objection to annexatoin of the Philippines being that it would admit to this country both the Fili- pinos and their products to come in competition with our own working men and their products. His proposed solution of the pending problem was the establishment of a republic in the Philippines over which the United States would exercise such care 2s 1t gives the republic of Liberia.
 MT Wolcott made an eloquent and almost impassioned appeal to the sen ate for the ratification of the success ful efforts of the commissioners in be- half of their country. At the con clusion of his address he was accorded the compliment of hearty applause.
 At the opening Of the session MT. Allen of Nebraska offered the follow ing resolution: Resolved, That the senate of the United States in ratify- ing and confirming the treaty of Paris, does not commit itsen or the govern ment to the doctrine that the islands acquired by virtue Of the war with Spain are to be annexed or to tecome a part of the United States, and the difference in the language of said treaty as respects the island of Cuba and it's inhabitants and the island of Porto Rico and the Philippines and their inhabitants shall not be con strued or be held to be of any differ ence in effect, but that it is the inten- tion and purpose of the senate in rat flying said treaty to place the inhab- itants of the Philippine islands and Porto Rico in exactly the same posi- tion in respect to their relations to the United States as are the inhabitants of Cuba"
 MT. Allen gave n1tice that he would address the senate on the resolution on Monday.

Aguinaid0 Asserts His Jurisdiction
 10 All inc Philippine Group.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Aguinaldo has broadened his claims, or at least his agent here, Agoncillo, has done so for him. In another one of the series of communications which he has ad- dressed to the state department Aguin- aldo asserts his jurisdiction to all the Philippine group. This is a notable extension, as heretofore there was nothing to show that he spoke for anything more than the Tagals, and even though there may have been an an intimation that the Visayas or cen tral group was part of the Philippine confederation, this is certainly the first time that any suggestion has been made touching the Sulu archi- pelago.

JOKE WAS ON THE JoKERs.
Chicago Strong Man Nearly Strangles
 Two Pseudo-Highwaym

Chicago, Feb. 1.-Two athletic mem bers of the Eureka club are today re- gretting that they. attempted to play practical joke on George T. Coles, Q fellow member.

Cole is employed in one of the big steel mills, and just to keep his muscles from getting soft he carelessly losses about 6O0-pound bill lets. The bogus highwaymen, whose names are kept secret, waylaid him in a dark court and with unloaded re- vOlvers ordered him to throw up his hands. He threw them up, but as he did so he knocked the pistols out of the jokors hands, burnped their heads together, blacllcd their eyes, and nearly stsangled them. They cried for mercy and told who they were Then the laugh came in, but Coles had it all to himself.

The coon dance and cake walk which wa'
given at the Opera House Thursday night
was a decided success. A stranger would
have certainly imagined himself to be
south of Mason and Dixon's Line. The
costumes were various and appropriate and
many dancers turned out in burnt cork.
The gallery was crowded with spectators,
while in addition to the coons proper there
were many maskers on the floor.
IL would have puzzled a man to recog-
nize his Oldest and best friends in some of
the odd and original characters represented.
The dancing continued until after 4 o'clock
Friday morning.
The cake walk was performed by three
couples, viz: Miss Anna Regli and Rollin
Cromer, Miss Nina Whitmore and Fred
Mannheim, and Miss Tessa Moriarty and
Frank Henderson. The judges were
Charles Mcbride Of Pine Valley and G..
b. Barnett of Oakland, California, by
whom the cake was awarded to Miss Nina
Whitmore and Fred Mannheim. There
were some very pretty figures executed by
all of these young people, in a finished
style worthy of professionals. A minuet
figure was given by one couple in a very
pretty manner-in fact they all did
exceedingly well and played to an ap-
preciative audience.
