The Sardis Reporter sumblts very
gracefully TO the inevitable and says
that the McLaurin landslide in PanO-
la county was simply Il surprise. aud
that ends it. At ono time, not long
before the election, the Reporter made
the statement that the governor would
not get fifty votes in Pamela county,
but the best OF political prophets have
gone wrung in this year of landslides,
close runs and surprises. The fact that
the governors friends came into Pano-
la few days before the election and
bought wagon load of watermelons
for free distribution, is given as one of
the reasons for McMauriu's victory
there. 1t was very fortunate that the
primary was held at IL time OF The year
when the melon crop was large and the
prices low. The virtue that lies In the
free distribution OF melons may we'll be
remembered by the politicians in cam
paigns to be held in the future.

HOME RULE.
Recommended for Some Of the sonth err
Isles OF the Philippines.

New York. July S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
departure OF President Schurman, of
the Philippine commission, will leave
at Manila three members OF the COM
mision-Major-G eneral Otis, Professor
Worcester and Colonel DENLY. 1t will
be the duty of the last two named to
continue the work of establishing
home rule within the lines held by the
administration troops. in the hope that
the example will be followed by the
Filipinos outside of the lines, and show
them the benefcient purposes OF the
government. Professor Worcester and
Colonel DENLY will also aid General
Otis in the conduct Of any peace nego.
tiations which ma follow any future
operations of the American troops.
Mr.. Schurman's dispatch is on the
whole very encouraging, and the au-
thorities are very much grstitied at the
conditions he reports having found at
the points visited. 1t is evident from
what the officials say that Mr.. Schur-
man believes the suppression OF Aguin-
aldo's instruction means the establish
ment OF peace throughout the archi-
pelago. He is confident that many of
the people throughout the southern
islands do not openly express them
selves in favor of an American protec-
torate solely because of the fear Of
Aguinaldo and his Tagal army.
Mr.. Schurman speaks we'll of the sui.
tan OF Sulu, and it is evident that he
feels that there is no danger of trouble
from him in case the United States OH
serves the treaties which exist between
him and the Spanish government.
Mr.. Schurman makes a number of re-
concentrations regai ding home rule
for some Of the southern islands, and
that they will probably be adopted by
the president.
The conditions in Negros were found
to be OF highly satisfactory character
by Mr.. Schurman, and home rule will
undoubtedly be given Immediately to
the people of that island, although
some alterations were necessary before
it received the presidents approval.

PHILIPPINE CONQUEST UNJUST
An American Minister in Japan Writes
Most Sensational Letter to n
Boston Journal.

Boston, July 10. Rev. Clay McCau.
script dated at Toxic, Japan, June l.
Mr.. McCauley declares that Admiral
Dewey said to him:
"Rather than make a war of con-
quest on the Filipino people. would
fake up anchor and sail out of the har-
Dor"
Mr.. McCauley visited Manila in JAM
uatv, in search of health. OF his
views there he writes: ''For long
time | could not believe that the dis
,strous diff Of events was known to
he Washington authorities. ! was in
,lined to lay the responsibility for the
increasing perils upon the military
commander directly in charge.
''Yet, now it seems to me that Cen
eral Otis did this work in the main in
literal obedience to his superiors in
America; that there it was assumed
that the whole right and duty concern
ing the future disposition and control
of the Philippine islands lay in the
wishes and will of the United States;
that what the Filipinos themselves
might wish need not be taken into
the account in formulating plans for
their government.
The writer had talk with General
Otis. "Among other things" said
Mr.. McCauley, General Otis ex-
pressed regret that there was not a
better knowledge of the situation
among the WashHn gton Legislators
than there seemed to be. And he i'm
pressed me deeply by his declarations:
Il was ordered to this post from San
Francisco. did not believe in the
annexation of these islands when l
came here. nor do believe in Their an
nexation now
81 also had the privilege of a con-
versation with Admiral Dewey" the
writer SAYS, and gives this version of
it: Dewey spoke much OF his con-
Germ over the turn affairs had taken
and added that he was powerless to
act Yet one point of his remarks
he declared: Rather than make war
of conquest on these people | would up
anchor and sail out of the harbor. "
Mr.. McCauley says lie wrote Presi-
dent Mckinley. whom he met in
Washington, regarding the situation
and predicting the outbreak which has
since occurred.

CHANGE OF PLANS.
Second Oregon May Come to Portland
by Rail.

Washington, July S.-Commissioner
Hermann, in pursuance with requests
received from Oregon today. made in
quiIy at the war department as to how
the Oregon regiment is to be taken to
Portland. He was informed that the
troops will be landed at San Francisco,
and that the transports will be immed-
lately loaded with regulars for Manila,
and will leave for that port, and will
not go to Portland with the Oregon
regiment. This change of plan was
made at the request of Genreal Otis,
who says there is a scarcity OF trans
ports.
The commissioner told the secretary
that the people OF Oregon had already
made extensive plans for receiving the
troops at Portland and that the change
Of plan would be a very great disap-
pontment. The department said that
it would make every effort to accom-
modate the people OF Oregon and the
troops themselves. and has, therefore,
directed the commanding officer at San
Francisco to secure sufficient number
of ships at the port to carry the Oregon
regiment from there direct to Portland.
enabling the people of Portland to carry
out their original plan.
II this plan cannot be carried out.
the department will make arrange
ments to have the regiment carried d.
rect to Portland by rail, but this will
not be done unless it is impossible to
secure ships.
