Loundes Will Not Run for Governor II
Wellington Is Retained as Chairman
OF the Republican Committee.

Baltimore, Sept. Ex-senator Yelling
ton has forwarded to Governor Lown-
des his reply to the letter in which the
governor requested the senator to re-
sign the Craftsmanship of the republican
state central committee. The letter is
as follows:
Hon. Boyd Lowndes, Baltimore-Sir:
Your letter of the 2lst inst received by
me yesterday. After your action it is
impossible for me to serve as chairman
of the republican state central commit
tee and l had intended in a legal way
with due notice, to convene the commit
tee for the purpose of rendering my
resignation. / understood however.
that yourself and the other candidates
on the state ticket have taken time by
the forelock and in a manner entirely
unprecedented and Illegal have called
together the committee for Monday, the
25th. While this is unwarranted and
unlawful l shall make no objection to
it and hope no one else will. Should
there be present quorum at the meet
ing ] will tender my resignation on
Monday next. ] write more in sorrow
than in anger, but above all there is
present with me for you mingled with
some pity for your weakness, immeas-
urable and unutteTable contempt for
your want of fraukness and truth. 1t
will be unnecessary for me to say or
do more, for at the polls in November
the people of the state will administer
to you such a rebuke as will be suffi-
cient punishment for all that has tran
spired. Very truly,
GEORGE L. WELLINGTON"
Governor Lowndes said when asked il
he had any comirt.ti 20 make on Sena-
tor Wellington's letter:
II have not received any communica-
'tion. As far as I am concerned, the In
cident is closed. The committee which
will meet in Baltimore on Monday rep
,resents the republican party of the
state, and If in it's judgment 1t should
retain Mr.. wellington as chairman,
then l shall decline the nomination for

1T is LEFT FOR
OTIS TO DECIDE
Tho Question of Lending Chinese in the
Philippines Question OF Mill
tary Expsdiency.

Washington. Sept. 23-The landing of
the shipload of Chinese now at Manila
VIII depend on military eXpediency,
which Will be determined by General
Otis, If, in his judgment, the landing
of the 700 Chinese will not interfere
with the military conditions or disturb
the situation they may land. The con-
ditions in the Philippines. it is pointed
out, are such as to make the entry
of the Chinese laborers a disturbing
element. The Filipinos are opposed to
them and there is bitter feeling exist
ing against the Chinese now there. 1t
is believed here that If the United
States military authorities allow the
Chinese free access to the Philippines
it will exasperate the people and tend
10 retard the pacification of the islands.
This Is one of the reasons given why
1t is necessary from a military stand
point to keep them out 1t has been
represented, however, by the Chinese
minister that the landing of the 700 Chi
nese now at Manila could do no harm
and that the return of them to China
would be a severe hardship. 1t is this
individual case which General Otis Is to
decide, but it is well understood that
whatever is done In this instance will
have no effect in determining the other
questions presented by the Chinese up
on the general subject of exclusion.
1t is, however. understood that the
military necessity of the case will de-
ternine what shall be done while the
islands are under a military govern
ment and the subject will be handled
from that standpoint rather than with
reference to the fact that a Chinese
exclusion law is in force in the United
States.

San Francisco, Sept. 2S.-Buoyant
with hope and full of enthusiasm, the
30th United States volunteers, on their
way to take ship for the Philippines,
this morning met the gallant veterans
Of the Montana regiment returning
crowned with the honors of faithful
service. The troops passed each other
in Market street and the incident was
full of dramatic interest The willing,
but as yet in most cases, untried men
of the 30th cheered the men who have
learned what hard fighting means, and
the veterans gave back the cneers with
hearty will. The battle-scarred and
bullet-rent colors of the Montanans and
the glistening new folds of the flags of
the SOth were saluted alike as the men
passed, and the people who lined the
street gave cheers for the departing
and cheers for the returning soldiers.
The Zealandia. which brougfa the
gallant fighters of Montana direct from
the scene of war, was brought to dock
at o'clock. AS soon as breakfast had
been served them the companies form
ed on the dock and awaited the ar
rival of the escort. Governor Smith
was at hand and had kind words to say
to officers and privates alike.
The signal to march was given at
about 945 a. m. and the column of fours
swung into East street and passed on
to Market. General Shafter sent an
escort from the Preside, consisting of
band and light battery c, with one
troop of the 9Th cavalry and three bat
teries of heavy artillery. Company A
of the 18th Minnesota regiment rep-
resented the volunteer branch of the
service and acted as honorary escort
The band and batteries of the heavy
artillery were at the head of the pro-
cession, following Lieutenant Colonel
Randolph of the Sd cavalry, who was
in command. Governor Smith and Sem
ator Carter and other notables of Mon
tana in carriages followed the artillery
and then came the six companies of the
Montana regiment. commanded by Col
onel Kessler.
The almost ceaseless tramp of martial
feet through the streets of the city has
not made public interest pail nor dulled
outward expressions of the patriotism
that dwells in every breast. For the
hundredth time to-day the streets were
full of eager people awaiting the land
ing of the Montana volunteers,
and when at length the band of
the Sd artillery led the way with a
march, to which every foot kept time,
a shout went up from the throats of
patient spectators and a thousand
tongues affirmed that the "Montanans
