Fsaosini citiEsns in the Philippines Con
A"''r' IN Fear Of Violence BY the Nor
siis''ly R~svsnEefui I-nsurgsn,a


Manila Sept. 3.-(copyright, 1900,
the Associated Press.)-The Filipinos
seem incapable of realizing the scope
ano purpose of the Legislative f,Inc-
lions OF the commission Of peace.
Inc commission enters upon the gov
ernmental field under the following
conditions: A majority of the island
ers desire peace and the resumption
OF business under the Americans, but
'ney are so cowed by a long series
OF murderous atrocities and destruc-
tion OF property by their armed coun-
'rymen that they dare not ACTIVELY
show their feelings, especially be-
cause experience has taught them
what such an expression Of sentiment
viii bring upontheh from the mrrci-
lessiy revengeful rebels. A genuine
reign Of terror is exercised by insur-
gents and I.adrones over peaceful
country folk, In order to collect the
revenue and recruits their operations
require; and widespread vengeance is
wrtaked in the vicinity Of garrisoned
towns. For example, the insurgent
general, Cables, in the province OF
Leguna, put to death the president
and o~fice-holders of the town of Bay,
on Laguna de Bay, officials who had
been installed by the Americans and
gave orders that a similar fate should
be meted out to other adherents Of
the American cause. He also ordered
that all Filipino soldiers who sold
their rifles to the Americans should
be killed.
Twelve Americans, including two
captains and two l~ieutenants, have
been killed during the past two
weeks. The official reports of the
encounters In which these casualties
occurred are meager.

UNCERTAINTY ABOUT CHINA.



Washington, Sept. 4.-Foiiowing It's
announced policy, the state depart
ment is preserving silence as to the
progress of the negotiations now
afoot respecting the Withdrawal of
troops from Pelin. II is gathered,
However, that up to date no definite
responses have been received to our
last communication to the powers on
this subject. II is stated that, in all
probability, at least a week will be
consumed in diplomatic exchange.
In that time n or two things may
happen. Russia may yield to what
appears TO be the wish Of nearly all
the powers aud refrain from carrying
out her purpose to withdraw from
Pekin or the United States forces also
will be marched out. 1t is clearly the
wish of our government that the
first of these lines of action shall be
taken.
The quartermaster's department
has sent TO Taku enough supplies for
that department to furnish the 5000
troops in China with all necessaries
from ~September ! until May /. All
of these supplies will be in China
within the next 30 or 40 days. 1t is
somewhat doubtful whether Taku
will be made the site of q large camp,

termaster'a dannrtment in1icnta TINT

Thirteen People Ktiisd aad Thirty Injured
iaa Disastroas RsarEnd csitsion
81 Hatisld. Pc.

Philadelphia. Sept. A-Thirteen per-
sons killed and. over 30 others Injured
is the appalling record OF a rear-end
collision between an excursion train
and a milk train on the Bethlehem
branch OF the Philadelphia & Reading
railway at Hatfield, Pa, 81 miles
north Of this city. The wrecked
train consisted OF ten day coaches,
which was the FIRST section Of q large
excursion made up Of people Of Beth
lehem, Allentown and surrounding
towns to Atlantic City.
II seems to be the generally ac-
cepted conclusion that the wreck was
due to negligence or direct disregard
of signals. According to James Ben
ner, hagman at Souderton station, tho
milk train passed that station On time
and following the rule Of the com
pany, which Requires any train com
ing after another within i've minutes
to be stopped, he placed q red flag
between the tracks. In three minutes
the excursion train came laundering
along with Davis at the throttle and
the train making 10 miles an hour.
Davis made no effort to stop and
waved Benner 20 one side. The latter
had only time to secure his flag and
spring out of danger as the train
swept by. Looking upward he saw
that Beidler had a clear signal set.
Biedler, when questioned, said he had
received no orders to stop the train.
This would seem to conflict with a
statement made by General S~uperin-
tendent Sweigard that all agents
must stop a train, orders or no orders,
II there is FIVE minutes time or less
between them.

Afro-Amsrioan Council Adopts Resolutions
on the franchise. BTnehing and Other
Race Problsms.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 31.-The Ma
tional Afro-American council elected
yesterday Bishop Alexander Walters,
OF New Jersey, president. The fol-
lowing resolutions we're adopted.
Resolved, That we urge the lynching
record upon the confederation Of the
president Of the United States, who. in
his last message. asked congress to enact
a law to protect foreigners residing In
this country from lynehins, and that we
ask the president Of the United States
to use his best offices TO secure the same
measure Of protection for citizens OF the
United States which the contemplated
legislation will extend to foreigners.
Resolved. inat we heartily approve q
gradual and heaithful migration OF col
ored citizens from the congested districts
or the south and from ths densely popu-
lated metropolitan centers Of the north.
to the fertile and undeYsloped territory
OF the west, in order that the Afro
American ace nay become an indls-
pensable factor In the agricultural de-
velopment OF the country.
We realize that conditions cannot be
theorized away and point to our many
years of patient burden-bearing as proof
that to the wise adjustment OF all men
acing conditions the negro will con-
tribute the best judgment of an earnest.
self-sacrihcing. law-abiding citizenship.
We realize that the salvation Of our
race is in u own hands; that the Inn
mutable laws of nature know no color
n With IS years Of freedom we gladly
accept all the responsibilities which civ
ili1ation and citizenship place upon US
and ask only q fair field and no favor.
We plead no excuses, seek no particular
privileges, ask no special laws In favor OF
ourselves or on account OF our grand
fathers, but we do appeal to the chivalry
OF the nineteenth century that II It be
too busy to help US forward that IL will
be too generous to push us back. Z
