citizens flocked into Vanceburg and gath

election board met, at 10 a. m. News
reached the crowd that the commission

another precinct, and there was an angry
demonstration. Trouble seemed immi-

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Action of United States in Philip
pines Will Have Important Bearing

Action of United States I'm Philip
pines VIII Have Important Bearing.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Whether
Chinese exclusion should be applied to the
Philippines is among the subjects engag-
ing the attention of the Philippine COM
mission. Considerable evidence bearing
on the matter has been collected and be-
sides presenting this testimony with their
full report it is expected that recon-
menda ton will be made which may have
considerable influence in shaping the
course of this government and the action
of congress 1t is understood that two
of the members of the commission
Messrs. DENLY and Worcester have ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to ap-
ply the Chinese exclusion act to the Phil
ippines. From the fact that Gen. Otis has
issued an order for Chinese exclusion 1t is
assumed that his voice as a member of
the commission also would be for Chinese
exclusion in the Philippines. The position
of Admiral Dewey, however, is understood
to be favorable to Chinese admission
While this personal view of the admiral
has been expressed to friends, it is not
known whether he would give it official
expression in case his colleagues on the
commission favored a recommendation Of
Chinese exclusion. The attitude of Presi-
dent Schurman has not been made known
even in an informal way
The exclusion question is involved to
some extent with the inquiries which the
United States is now making of other
powers as to the maintenance of an open
door policy in China. 1t was stated to-
day, in AN authoritative diplomatic quar-
ter, that in case the United States adopt
ed permanent policy of Chinese ex-
cusion in the Philippines, there was little
doubt such course would cause China to
be less friendly in her cooperation with
the plans of the United States to extend
our trade in the empire.

PROBABLY A JOKE.
DIR. Prewitt, Defeated by 10000
Votes, Talks of a Contest.

JACKSON, Miss, Nov 13.-Dr. e. X.
Prewitt, Populist candidate for governor
in the recent election, threatens to make
a contest Of Judge Longino's election, on
the ground that the latter's nomination
was illegal. In an open letter addressed
to other Populist candidates and the ex-
ecutive committee of the Peoples party
Prewitt say that the Democrats violated
the primary election law In reference to
the nomination Of their state ticket, the
code requiring that mass meetings must
be held in all counties on the same day,
and that the Democrats did not observe
this. feature of the primary law. He
asks that a meeting of the executive
committee be held on the subject to-
night.
When asked for an opinion on the sub
ject tonight Gov. McLaurin stated that
Dr. Prewttt's remonstrance is ill-found-
ed, as the Democratic ticket was official
ly recognized by the state board Of cleo
tion commissioners, was sent to the vari-
Gus counties in due form and that the
entire proceedings were regular and in
strict conformity with the primary law
Prewitt was defeated by over 10000 votes.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
British Naval Oficer Has Seen Him
in. the Philippines.

LONDON, Nov 13.-A British naval Of
ficer, who has just returned from a tOwn
in the Philippines, has been interviewer /
regarding the situation there, of which
he takes a somewhat pessimistic view.
According to the published interview he
thinks that more river gunboats are
needed, and that Gen. Otis is trying to
run the campaign too economically. Pay
ing a high tribute to the surprising in
telligence and confidence of the American
soldier the officer says:
Patience and bravery the American
soldier has shown in a high degree, bit
he is not particularly mobile He would
be more efflcacious. if instead of being
collected in comparatively emo nous
numbers, he were used in smaller forces
moving more rapidly and living in the
country, instead of requiring vast guam
titles of potted luXuries. Moreover, he
locks tired, and as if he wanted some
thing to do. Except for an occasional
game of base ball, there IS nothing for
him to do but to drink Now if he were
a British soldier he. would be diverted
by all sorts of sports
