AGUIN ALDO
Said to Have Been Supplanted as Con-
trolling Force of the Insurgents.

MANILA, April 5, go p. m.-There are
persistent rumors to-day that Aguinaido
the insurgent leader. has been supplanted
in the control of Filipino affairs by Gen.
Antonio Luna, commg~~ns- in-chief Of the
Filipino forces. Luna is described as be-
ing a typical belligerent.
A Spanish banker VINO was interviewed
expressed fear t,at the proclamation VIII
not reach the masses controlling the re-
bellion, because, he explains, the Fill
pinos at Manila are mostly domestics and
clerks who have no definite opinions and
the wire-pullers outside the city have un-
doubtedly intercepted it.
Continuing the Spanish banker said
that if the proclamation had been issued
on May or even on August IA of last
year, the result would have been differ
ent, as in the opinion based on twenty
years experience, the only argument
which appeals TO the masses here is the
gun.
The proclamation of the L. S. Philip
pine commission was posted in the streets
printed in English, Spanish and Tagaiog,
to-day 1t was also distributed in the
outside towns as far a. Malolos and has
been read with marked attention by the
natives generally and has been approved
by a number of representative Manilans.
English bankers here who have been
interviewed on the subject are optimistic
upon the attitude of the Americans, as
Stunning that it indicates that the decisive
policy will undoubtedly be successful.

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register
Huntington, w. Va. April 5.-To-
morrow is election day here. The
streets of the city are alive with people
tonight, and more interest than usual
seems manifested.
The usual influx of negroes are here
from Mcdowell and other counties
along the Norfolk & Western, and from
the amount OF Doodle that is being as
signed to various parts of the city, to-
night, it is evident that Republicans
elsewhere than Huntington have I'M
loosened their purse-strings.
A number of street fights have oc-
Cured this afternoon, and tonight as
a result of politics and lively time is
anticipated tomorrow.
Some of the leading Republican poll
ticians of Kanawha, Wayne and MingO
counties are here tonight consulting
with local Republicans, and Congress
man Freer is scheduled to arrive to-
morrow morning.
AS the Republicans have two COM
missioners at every precinct it is feared
they will resort to their usual high
handed methods of rushing in every il
legal vote possible.
The appearances here tonight of
about one hundred ''pipe-liners, who
have been working on the new gas
line along the Sandy, who came into
this section, four months ago from
Pennsylvania, is being freely comment
ed upon, and if an attempt to vote
them is made tomorrow, there's going
to be trouble and plenty of it.
Chairman Duncan, of the Democratic
Executive Committee claims the city
by at least three hundred.

FOR GOVERNOR.
A Boom Started for Mayor Jones of
Toledo Candidacy to be Announced.

Toledo, Ohio, April 5.-The friends
of Mayor Jones, Of Toledo, and Column
bus, simultaneously started boom for
him to-day as candidate for governor
of Ohio. A number of his Toledo
representatives are in Columbus and
they will announce his candidacy in
that city. Mayor Jones, when seen
about the matter this afternoon, stated
that he had not sanctioned the action
of his friends. There has been doubt
as to which party he will affiliate with.
Many Democrats claim he can be nomi-
mated on that ticket. but. as Mayor
Jones has always been a Republican,
and so stated during his campaign, he
will doubtless cast his lot with that
party. He will endeavor to have a
platform favoring municipal ownership
of public utilities.

A SAD CASE.
Young Man Out of Employment Muir
dered His Wife and Babe and Com
mitted Suicide.

Albany, Ga, April 5.-Walter H.
Jackson, his wife and their three
months old babe were found dead in
bed this morning. Jackson and his
wife each had pistol shot in the head,
while the child was shot through the
body. Death was evidently instantan-
eous in each case. 1t is evident that
Jackson first shot his wife and child
and then himself. The deed was done
during the night. The only other oc-
cupant of the house was Mrs. E. E.
Richardson, Jackson's grandmother,
who was not Weakened by the shots.
Jackson was a young business man
of high standing, and married jamie
Goodwin, leading society girl, lit
tie over two years ago. Until recently
he was cashier and bookkeeper for a
warehouse firm. 1t is supposed he
brooded over the loss of his position
and killed his family and himself in a
fit of insanity.

THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
Good Progress Making-Governments Ex-

Good Progress Making-Governments Ex-
changing Notes Regarding the Commits
sion
Washington, April 5.-The Samoan
agreement for high commission has
progressed to the point where the three
governments are exchanging notes as
This is accepted as an assurance that
Lord Salisbury accepts not only the
principle of the commission, but the
commission itself as the consideration
of the British delegate would hardly
be entered upon unless the commission
was assured The published report
that three commissioners would be
named from each country is without
foundation, as such plan has never
been considered. There will be one
from each country of about the same
relative rank or standing. 1t is TO in
sure this similarity of standing that
the three governments are mutually
discussing the names of commissioners,
the question being whether they will
be military men, consul generals, or
officials in the foreign service. Aside
from this desire to secure uniformity
there is evidently some wish not 10 let
any one country name a commissioner
who may be personally Objectionable
by reason of his previous acticity in
Samoan disputes.
One joint in the negotiations appears to
be open and this may still occasion some
difficulty. This is as to the future status
of Chief Justice Chambers and consuls
Rose, of Germany, Osborne. of the United
States. and Mayse, of Great Britain. 1t
would be quite acceptable to Germany If
all of them We're Withdrawn, but when
this proposal was made some time ago
it was distinctly rejected. Now, however,
the high commission may have such en-
larged powers that in effect the Chief
Justice and the consuls will have their
authority curtailed If not entirely cut off.
In some well-informed quarters it is said
this is the real cause OF Lord Salisbury 5
very mature consideration Of the plan as
he is believed to be averse to any project
which even indirectly will result in the
retirement of all present officials and the
virtual acceptance of Germany's original
proposal that all be Withdrawn.

A WOMAN IN BLOOMERS
May Not Claim Ordinary Privileges In
English Refreshment Houses.

London, April 5.--A test case which
has excited great interest in cycling
circles was decided at the Kingston
sessions to-day, when Lady Harberton
charged the landlady of a hotel with
having refused to serve he because she
was attired in boomers. Lady Har-
berton, who is treasurer of the Ration
al Dress League, said on the witness
stand that she had Travelled 1000 miles
and through the west end of London in
boomers.
1ne iandlady pleaded that she only
refused to serve her ladyship in the
coffee room, and would have served her
in a private room or at the ordinary
bar. She also claimed her business
would be ruined if she was Obliged to
serve some women attired in blOomers.

Canton, o., April 5.-Seven men had
passed the examination as to qualifica-
tons yesterday. Mrs. George and her
friend, Mrs. Siddinger, were III their
places when court opened at $50
o'clock this morning, and soon there
after the examination of other jurors
did not open until o'clock, and the
room filled with rush.
A man named Norris, of Hanoverton,
who yesterday sat among the friends of
Mrs. George, came into court and plac-
ed handsome bouquet in front of the
prisoner, evidently to her pleasure and
delight.
Newton George took them up and
handled them, appreciatively greeting
the new comes. The flowers remained
on the table and then the accused re-
turned her attention to the proceed
ings, apparently watching every detail.
Soon afterwards Mrs. Brown and Mrs.
st. Clair, sister and aunt of the accus-
ed, respectively, and others from Han
overton and Lisbon, who were with
Mrs. George Tuesday, took seats within
the bar enclosure.
The fifth man called to the jury box
to-day held his seat. The next had a
confirmed opinion that that had barred
him so had the next. The one who fol-
lowed demanded exemption on the
ground that he had served continuously
as member Of the fire department for
period of five years which was allow
ed. The next qualified, the next had
too much knowledge of the case as a
deputy bailiff and too strong an opin-
ion. The next qualified and the panel
of IL was full. The period of peremp-
tory challenge was at hand. The State
excused man who said he had formed
an opinion, but that it would not pref
udice him in the trial. Another man
was called and found to be cousin
of Saxton's aunt, but was not excused
on that ground. Then the defense, per-
emptorily challenged one who had en-
phatic views favorable to capital pun
ishment and conviction on circumstan-
tial evidence. The noon adjournment
occurred with a juror under examina-
ton.
The women reached the court house
ahead of the men at the afternoon ses-
sion and filled more than half of the
seats in the south section. Several
young women stenographers gained en-
trance to the bar and occupied seats
usually filled by attorneys.
The State exhausted its peremptory
challenges during the afternoon ses-
sion, while the defence had II left.
Three jurors were accepted. A special
venire was demanded by the State and
court adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing. About % men will be called.
They will probably not be from the
city or immediate vicinity.
