Of Sentiment.
London, Jan. 0.-The Filipino com.
mittees in Paris, Madrid and London
telegraphed on Saturday to President
Mckinley. The Paris dispatch read:
I'VE protest against the disembarka-
tion Of American troops at 1loilo."
The London telegram said:
1.-THE treaty of peace still unratified.
American claim of sovereignty prema-
ture. Pray reconsider resolution re-
garding Iloilo. Filippinos wish for the
friendship of America and abhor mill
tarism and deceit"
A representative of the Associated
Press learns that the Filipino junta
ut Paris has received d telegram from
the Filipino agent at Hong Kong,
dated Saturday. and saying:
Eight with Americans unavoidable.
We are not the aggressors."
A telegram from an Rngllsh house at
Manila to-day says the situation ls
very strained and that there is much
anxiety there. The dispatch also con-
tains news from Iloilo, the substance
of which was that the American troops
had not yet landed.
The Filipino junta discredits a
statement In the Globe this afternoon
that the United States government has
ordered AgOncillO the representative
OF Aguinaldo, to leaye Washington.
They say they surely would have
heard the news If it had been true,
that the mail advices from the SOCIAL
ed Filipino government, received here
to-day, say that Aguinaldo has decided
that all foreign trade entering ports
under Filipino control will be admit
ted on the payment of n duty OF . per
cent. ad valorem snd that all export

Secretary Bliss has received some
important official dispatches from the
Indian Territory indicating a change
OF sentiment on the part of some OF
the Indian tribes with whom the
Dawes commission has been negotia-
ting treaties. These dispatches state
that the Creek Indian council is to
meet in special session to consider
the holding of a new election looking
to the adoption OF the Dawes treaty,
which has been once rejected at the
polls. The dispatches also state that
the Cherokee Nation has Just provided
for a commission to treat with the
Dawes commission.

The case of young Miss Marlowe
who recently died on the stage Of a
New York theater during the perform
ance, has called attention to the pc
culiar strain which attends an actors
life. and which with certain sensitive
temperaments is apt to overstimulate
the heart. To many the profession
is constant interplay Of excitemen,
and exhaustion; and often ones en-
gagements must be kept regardless OF
depressed or delicate conditions oi
health. for no manager can afford &c
depend on substitutes or supernumer-
aries. And OF the hundreds who try
to live by histrionics. only few win
an income which permits them to lay

tressing malady; and these and Others
declare that. II yellow fever attacks q

II seems fit and proper. too. that the

THEORIES ABOUT THE MAINE"
Captain siEsbee's Talk with the Spanish
Admiral After the Explosion.


Nothing could be written in better
taste and temper than Captain sigs-
bees personal Narrative of the
Malne," the third installment Of which
appears In the January Century. "The
Wrecking and the Inquiry are the
special subjects of this concluding
paper. The captains personal rela.
tions with General BlancO and Admiral
Manterola were. he says, undisturbed
by the explosion. They remained cor
dial to the last" Soon after the catas-
trophe the admiral called upon Cap
tain Sigsbee and conversation oc-
CURED which is tersely summarized In
these words:
1.-THE admiral assumed from the first
that the explosion was from the In
terror of the vessel He asked If the
dynamo boilers had not exploded.
told him we had no dynamo boilers.
He said that the plans of the vessel,
as published, showed that the gun
cotton store-rOOm, or magazine, was
forward near the zone of the explosion.
He was Informed that these plans had
been changed, and that the guncotton
was slowed aft, under the captains
cabin, where the vessel was virtually
intact. He pointed out that modern
gunpowders were sometimes very un-
stable. This was met by the remark
that our powder was of the old and
stable brown prismatic kind. and that
we had no fancy powder. He referred
to the probable presence of boilers,
lighted, near the forward coal-bunkers,
which We're adjacent to the magazines.
This again was met with the remark
that for three months no boiler In the
forward boiler compartment had been
lighted: that while in port the two
nftermost boilers in the ship had been
doing service"

Christ Our Sacrifice and King.

Mr.. Wesley, in writing to one oi
his preachers, said "If we could
once bring all, our preachers, itinerant
and local, uniformly and steadily to
insist on these two points, Christ dy-
ing for u.s. and Christ reigning in US,
we should shake the trembling gates
of hell" That was Paul's theology in
q nutshell. "Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures" and
"Christ in you the hope Of glory"
An atonement for sin made for us, and
by faith appropriated by US. And
herein lies our power in the Christian
life and in Christian work. Unless In
our hearts Christ finds place, there is
no other sufficient purifying influence.
We may be convinced he is all he
claims to be. we may believe he is all
he claims to be, we may believe he is
sent to save, and that he can save, but
all this may he without cleansing
effect upon US. What is needed is an
attachment, real love that will
prompt US always to regard his will.
and to make our life part of his. AS
one said, at is our likings that have
leu US dStThy, duu IL lS ny ue" hhiuSS
implanted within US that we can be
restored. So long as our knowledge of
Christ is in our head only, it may
profit US little, but it will not make
new creatures of US. To accomplish
that, he must command our heart.
He must control and move what is
most influential within US; there
must arise in US q real and ruling
for him.

Wednesday, June ID, 1899.
Mr.. James W. Tolbert,s Troubles.

Es
Mr.. James w. Tolbert was in Abbeville last
Saturday. He is greatly troubled in his mind
because of his relations with the people OF
Mccormick, and is very desirous Of restoring
kindly feeling between himself and those
who may have been displeased with him in
the recent past.
While we know nothing OF the merits OF
the exciting cause that lead to the trouble,
he feels that he has suffered sufficiently TO
induce the people to allow him to return to
his business.
A United States officer Of high position,
who heard the case in court at Greenville,
says:
.sThe testimony tended to show that the
feeling against him in that community was
on account OF others, and was not In any
measure due to any nc isconduct on bis part,
and the whole case left upon my mind feel-
ing thathe has been the victim OF circum-
stances"
AS Mr.. Tolbert has suffered greatly, both In
mind and estate, IT might not be amiss for a
brave and magnanimous people to give their
neighbor an opportunity to return to his
home, and thus give them proof Of the sin.
cerity OF his determination to be an accept
able citizen and neighbor. In case he became
troublesome, the people will still have rem
edy in their own hands.
Mr.. Tolbert asserts that he had no connec-
tion with the riot at Phoenix, or any knowl.
edge of 1t at the time, and has never attended
q meeting OF colored voters or made any
speeches at such meetings. He admits that
the utmost he did was to try to obtain the
colored votes for his relative, R. Red Tolbert,
and never gave bad advice TO any one.
