WHEELER's OPINION.

Imperial orators and organs like to
quote General Wheeler in support of
the colonial policy of the administra-
ton. The old general is considerable
of presidential toady, it must be ad-
n1;tted, but he believes in treating the
Filipinos as citizens of the territories
have been treated in extending to them
the constitution and in holding out to
them the assurance of ultimate state
hood. In a signed article in Harper's
Weekly, since his return from Manila,
General Wheeler says:
1 consider the Filipinos a very superior
people, people with great possibilities.
They are ambitious: many of them nave
been finely educated in Europe; tney are
not to be spoken of in the same breath
with the Africans, so far as their posi-
bilities go. They are, too, easily gov
erned, and with the fair treatment which
they will receive from US we shall nave
no trouble with them They appreciate
consideration, I have found, but they are
sensitive and are unwilling to be treated
as interiors.
AS to the form of government to
establish there the general manifested
his emphatic disapproval of the anti
constitutional colonial system just in
augurated by the party in power at
Washington. 'As fast as possible, he
said. Il believe that we should estab-
lish civil government in the Philip
pines. 1 am in favor Of territorial gov
eminent, and see nothing incongru-
Gus in making these various islands
into territories And he added:
Many of them are already fit for self
government in local affairs, and under
territorial governors appointed by US
they would get along very well, am
sure"
General Wheeler has spoken. What
has Dewey said of the capacity of
these people for self government?

the fence and fell over on his side when
he was elected. ).

doesn't matter The sentiment may
have come from either. 1t represents
the attitude of both.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

New York oJurnal: VIII the senators
dare to put their popularity with the
people to an honest test and vote with the

them by direct ballot?

WI Is GREATLY DISTRESSED.
He Forwards Second Inquiry as to the Fate
of Conger.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, July 1.-THE Chinese Min
lister continues TO exert his efforts to-
ward getting information from Pekin, but
UP to late hour of the day he had not
received any answer in connection with
the cipher cable to Minister Conger, or
from the second inquiry, which he for
warded yesterday. This second dispatch
was to the Taotai of Shanghai, and said
in substance:
American Government and people
greatly concerned over safety of Minister
Conger at Pekin. Can you give me any
information on the subject?''
The TaOtai of Shanghai is a high Off
cial who will be apt to get the earliest
reliable information and this personal
appeal OF the Minister may bring some
reliable news on the situation.
Minister WI was much depressed by
continued reports that the Legations had
been wiped out, and the Ministers MUIR
dered. To all inquiry, he sorrowfully
shakes his head and says that he has
absolutely no information and can only
hope for the best. The report of the
killing ow the Russian Minister and his
wife was another severe blow, but as to
this also Mr.. WI said that he had abso-
lutely no news.

Especial to News and Observer1

Especial to News and Observer.)
Asheboro,, N. c., July 4.-Sevcral days
ago the registrar at Asheboro refused to
register Sam Bowden, an imported negro,
who now lives with Deputy Marshal j. S.
Free, telling him to get up further tes-
timony as TO age, identity, etc. Free
then went to the registrar and with oaths
said:
Il want to register my niger It's
a damn shame that man can't register
from one county to another and in va
rious ways tried to intimdate the regis
trar, who remained cool but firm in his
determination not to register the negro
until satisfied as to his qualifications. Free
and the negro have been back a time
or two and insisted that his negro be
registered, at no time producing any tes-
timony.
Today Free came again with the same
negro and demanded that he be register
ed He also brought with him crowd
of negroes and few white men, tools and
workers for Millikin and the revenue
crowd who had organized and brought a
crowd of negroes who are not eligible
to vote with the purpose of overpowerins
the registrar. Free and J. A.
Blair testified for some of the ne
groes, but their testimony was of an
uncertain character and was not satisfac-
tory to the registrar and the negroes were
told to get up further testimony if they
desired to register.
Free in a staggering way called on the
audience to note the testimony and asked
them to remember it, speaking in de-
fiant and disrespectful manner until
bystander told him that he must not
| further intimidate the registrar; that
the registrar would hear and consider any
testimony offered, but that the presence
of United States marshal and revenue
officers who were there for the purpose
of coercion or intimidation would not be
| tolerated or permitted.
Free was respectful after that, but
| soon left when he found that he could
not induce the registrar to register ne
| groes who are not entitled to vote. The
negro Sam Bowden afterwards went up
the street and got gun and walked round
cursing ard lying about the registrar.
| Feeling is high here.
