livers Speech that Helps Make
Republican Votes.

NELSON, Neb., Oct. 1S.-CSpecial Tele-
gram )-The republicans formally opened the
campaign in this county tonight. Chaplain
Mailley OF the Fighting First was billed ia
speak at the court house, but long before the
hour to begin had arrived the room was
completely packed and many were turned

The meeting was adjourned to the opera
house, where fully 1000 people listened very
attentIvely to the presentation of the Philip
pine question from nOnpartisan standpoint
The obstructionists were dealt with in no
uncertain terms. The speaker said he was
with the administration in times OF peace. II
it was right, but when at war with foreign
country he was with it right or wrong, until
the last rebel was stripped of arms. The
comparison made between the record OF the
sodicr-president in the civil war and that
of the orator when he left his regiment
at the front and came home to talk politics
brought forth tremendous applause.
The meeting throughout was one OF the
most enthusiastic held here in years. II
contained much politics, as well az general
information, and will no doubt result in an
increased vote for the republican ticket
which at this time means an endorsement OF
the administration.

REBEL GENERAL HAS A PRICE
Pic Del Pillar Wants Half a Million Ia
Overthrow Insurreoton.
PROPOSES TO SURRENDER AGUINALOo
For $4,000 lie VIII Refrain from
Attacking Manila IL His other
Proposition Is Not
Accepted.

MANILA, Oct. 1S,-S;55 a. m,-General
Otis has received messages purporting to
come from the insurgent general, Pho Del
Pillar Offering to sell out his army and to
deliver Aguinaldo into the hands Of the
Americans. Although he is not satisfied that
this offer is authentic, it is not intrnsically
improbable. The policy of General Otis is
firmly set against buying any surrenders
Pho Del Pillar offers for the sum of $50 900
to refrain from attacking Manila with his
army; for the sum OF 1000 he offers to
surrender his army after sham battle, both
sides firing into the air, and for the sum OF
100000 he says he will procure the over
throw Of the insurrection and the capture OF
Aguinaldo and the other leaders In the
course of the communication he refers to
Aguinaldo in contemptuous terms, indicat-
ing that strained relations exist between
them.
Reports are being received from the dis
tricts occupied by the enemy that the Fill
pinos believe that Pic Del Pillar has an
audacous plan to break through the Ameri-
can lines into Manila and aeize General Otis
and the archbishop. Possibly these rumors
were started with an idea of helping him to
make deal with the Americans.

QUEEN CALLS FOR WARRIORS
Victoria Notifies Parliament that the

REPLY TO THE SPEECH BEING CONSIDERED
Enemies of Chamberlain and Miner
Propose Amendments of Ccnsure
and Charge Them with
Forcing Hostilities,

LONDON Oct. 1S.-In the House of Com
mons today the first lord of the treasury and
government leader, Arthur J. Balfour,
brought in the following message from the
queen:
The state Of affairs in Africa having con-
stituted, in the opinion of her majesty, a
case of emergency within the meaning OF the
act of Parliament, her majesty deems 1t
proper to provide additional means for mill
tary service. She has. therefore, thought
1t right to communicate to the House that
her majesty is, by proclamation. about to
order the embodiment Of the militia and to
call out the militia reserve force, or such
part thereof as her majesty may think nee
essary for permanent service"
The calling out of the militia and the mill
tary reserves has oCcasioned widespread
wonderment Old stories of preparations
against continental combinations are revived.
II is freely rumored that the government is
determined to demonstrate to Europe that
the British army is not a negligible guam
tity.
Probably both the attitude of Europe and
that of the natives in South Africa have
something to do with this movement and
the lavish display of force is intended,
doubtless, not only to check the illwill ap-
parent on both sides of the Rhine and be-

| claimed:

and unanimously adopted. 1t denounced the
policy of imperialism as hostile to liberty.
| as unconstitutional and as tending toward
| militarism. The policy OF the present ua
tional administration is condemned and tho
| immediate cessation of the Philippine war
| demanded.
Continuing, 1t says: I'VE propose to con-
| tribute to the defeat of any person or party

close tonight, Bourke Cochran of New York
delivering the Grafton OF the evening. The
hall was filled and the remarks of the orator
were greeted with approval by those pres
ent. He based his objection to the policy
of the government on the broad ground that
one people had no right TO enforce gov
ernment on another. He discussed the Ques-
tion in a dispassionate manner, claiming
that there were many reasons why the
United States should hold the islands, but
no reason why it should attempt to force
upon any people form OF government to
which the people object
The conference adjourned at the conclusion
Of Cockran's address. Those in charge OF
the meeting expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the success of the affair.

Harcourt Makes Criticism.

Sir William Vernon Harcourt, liberal
member for West Monmouthshire and former
leader Of the liberal party, following sew
eral minor speeches for and against Ghe gov
ernment, said it was the duty of the house
TO support the government in maintaining
the integrity Of the dominions Of the queen,
but that they had a right to speak OF the
policy OF the government in an altogether
different tone
He went on to Justify the opposition's
criticism OF the conduct OF the negotiations
prior to the receipt OF the ultimatum, de-
cIaring his belief that there were salient
circumstances in the transaction which did
not tend to a peaceable solution.
Although l do not charge the govern
ment," said Sir William, with deliberately
avoiding a peaceable solution, in my opinion
there is no justification for saying that there
has been criminal obstinacy on the part OF
the Transyaal, Step by step, it will be
found on wise advice from the Orange Free
State and the government Of Cape Colouy.

yond the Vistula, but also to guard against
the black peril.
According to the statistics published this
year, the militia, including the permanent
staff and the militia reserve, numbers 1922
493.
1t is not believed that the militia are to be
sent to South Africa. Presumably they will
replenish the denuded British garrison towns
and thus permit the government to send TO
the Cape all the regulars rendered necessary
by developments in South Africa.
The house agreed to considerthe royal
message tomorrow.
A motion by Mr.. Bafour approprating
the entire special session for government
business was carried by 279 votes against As
Reply to Queens Speech.
The debate on the address in reply to the
speech from the throne was then resumed
Philip James Stanhope, liberal member for
Burnley, moved an amendment strongly dis
approving the conduct of the negotiations
with the Transvaal. He attacked the policy
of the secretary of state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, and demanded that the
latter should clear himself OF the charge of
completely in the Jameson raid. After de-
nouncing the action of Cecil Rhodes and the
South African league, Mr.. Stanhope said:
The British high commissioner in South
Africa (Sr Alfred MineD is lacking in quail
tiles necessary to a diplomat in his position.
While entirely acquttng the government as
a whole of any connection with these doubt,
full motives, ! am convinced that the secre-
tary of state for the colonies 'and the British
high commissioner in South Africa have for
the last two years been fully determined
that war, and war only, should end this
crisis and that they have worked for this
consummation during the last year"
The amendment was seconded by Samuel
Thomas Evans liberal member for the mid
die division Of Glamorganshire.
A supplementary army estimate has been
issued asking the House of Commons to
vote an additional $4,000 men and G10, ,OO0,-

alton in South Africa.
1t is explained that the 35 COO men repre-
sent the probable maximum excess beyond
the establishments fixed for the year 1899
1900 and is in consequence of the calling cut
OF the reserves and Of the temporary trans
fer OF troops from the Indian to the British

At any rate, successive secretaries OF state

Mr.. Chamberlain emphatically disssnted.

Sir William, resuming, went on to say that

President Kruger by MIR. Chamberlain in
1899. He commented upon the "extraord-
nary delay in sending the final proposals OF
Great Britain"
The British nation" he exclaimed, has
right to know what the proposals of the
government are. The government has no
right to involve the nation in war in the
dark. | cannot conceive why the good Offices
OF the Orange Free State were rejected; and
