Washington, August Sin accordance
with the new policy inaugurated by Sec

orders were telegraphed to recruiting Of

that it VIII be impossible to fiji the two
regiments being organized at Fort Nc

ceeded In enisting only $50 men, while
those at Sam Houston have obtained but
$40 men. Orders Will therefore be issued
directing that Northern and Western men
be drafted into these regiments until
their entire complement is obtained. The
department has not obtained a more salts
factory reason for the unwillingness of
Southerners to enter the army than the
sentiment which exists against continuing
the struggle TO subJugate tho Filipinos.

AN APPEAL TO PARTY LOYALTY
GOVERNOR STONE WRITES TO THE
DEMOCRATS OF KENTUCKY.
Goebel Ticket and Prove True
to the Party.

Louisville, August S,-Hon. William j.
Stone of Missouri. acting chairman of the
National democratic committee. has writ
ten a letter to National Committeeman
Urey Woodson of Kentucky, expressing
the hope that Kentucky democrats will
unite on the ticket nominated-at Louis
Vile.
Governor Stone says: 1T is entirely
clear to me that Kentucky democrats
should lay aside mere personal considera-
ton and strife to elect the ticket named
at Louisville. II must be remembered that
it often happens that the proceedings of
large bodies like the convention at Louis
VILE are characterized by more or less dis
order and seeming. unfairness. especially
when personal rivalry becomes intense.
But after all it rarely happens that 1t be-
comes matter of supreme Importance
whether one candidate or another for party
honors is successful. What the demo-
Gratis of Kentucky and OF the Nation are
most interested In Is the success at the
polls. The loss OF Kentucky at this time
would be serious blow to the party in the
Nation"

Philippines.

Plattsburg, n. Y, August S.-The war
in the Philippines is to be prosecuted with
vigor that ought TO result in a speedy
cessation of hostilities there
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press saw Secretary Root tonight in the
office of the Hotel Champiain just after he
said goodbye to the president and was
preparing to take the GAS train for Wash
ingtcn. The secretary referred TO his
visit to Plattsburg barracks this afternoon,
where he witnessed regimental drill OF
the Twenty sixth regiment under command
of Colonel Rice. This regiment has been
recruited and organized in a little over
three weeks and they drilled today like
veterans.
1.-The progress which the officers and
men of the Twenty-siXth regiment have
made in drilling in so short time is sim
ply marvellous" said Mr.. Root. 1T shows
the wonderful power of the United States
when ten regiments of volunteer soldiers
can be recruited, organized drilled and
equipped for active service in the field in
so short a time"
will the war in the Philippines be
prosecuted vigorously from now on?" was
asked by the Associated Press.
Mr.. Root turned on his heel and replied
quick as fash: Yes, the war in the
Philippines will be prosecuted with all
possible energy. All the men, arms and
supplies necessary to end the trouble in
the islands will be furnished at the earliest
possible moment"
How large a force viii be at the dis
posal of the commanding general there?"
was asked.
There will be $4,000 men there ready
for active service at the close of the
rainy season, about the last Of October,
and more will be sent there if necessary"
AS to the t'umor published in some OF
the papers that President Mckinley and
he were not agreed on the policy to BIZ

"Of course, that is all nonsense"
When asked whether General Otis would
be relieved from the command of the
American forces in the Philippines, MIR.
Root replied that he had nothing to say on
tnat point at this time 1t will be i'm
possible for any one TO be more emphatic
or determined than Secretary Root in his

Pretoria, August s.--The reply to Mr..
Chamberlan's proposal for Joint COM
mission of inquiry has not yet been for
warded and the Transvaal government is
still celebrating.
various rumors are current regarding the
result of the recent session of the volks-
Rad. but no official announcement has
been made
London, August s.-The Times CORE
spondent at Pretoria says: A gloomy view
is taken here OF the whole situation. Tho
general impression in Boer circles is that
Mr.. Chamberlain is forcing on war, aAl
that consequently it would be futile to
make advances.
London, August All the dispatches
from South African correspondents of the
London morning papers take it for granted
that the secret session OF the volksraad
called last evening will confirm the reject
ton of Mr.. Chamberlains proposal, but
leave the way open to continue negotla
tions. They also dwell upon the serious
situation thus arising and upon the con-
sternation of the Uitlanders over the addi-
ton to the constitution compelling them
to fight for the Transvaal. which seems
to indicate that the Transvaal government
is expecting hostilitles.
Capetown, August s.-A dispatch from
Pretoria says the volksraad has declined
to agree to the suggestion of Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, British secretary of state for
the colonies, that the effect which the
Transvaal franchise reforms have on the
Uitlanders should be inquired into by
joint high commission. The volksraad,
however, consents to receive friendly sug-

We have annexed trouble, wars, pesti-

The fight in the Philippines, reported

The issue is a momentous one. The
duty of all patriots is to unite in a
determined contest to change the inn
perialistic policy, and give to the inhahi-
tants of the Philippine islands the same
measure of self-goyernment we promised
the Cubans. This is essential if we
are to return to the original principles
upon which our government is based.
The ratification of the treaty makes the
issue clear cut, and there will be such
an agitation now to give the Philippines
home rule that no administration can
withstand it.
