Democratic Committee.

Washington, Feb. 22.-On the eve of the
meeting of the national democratic com
mittee, which assemblies here tomorrow
to fix the time and place for holding the
democratic national conventions, Kansas
City and Milwaukee are struggling earn
estly for the honor of entertaining the
convention. Although there is some des-
ultory talk Of Cincinnati, as a compro-
mise, the fight is between Milwaukee and
the metropolis of the southwest, with the
chances tonight seemingly in favor of the
latter place. Milwaukee has raised a FUND
of s1O0, 900 for the entertainment of the
convention. The amount which Kansas
City is expected to expend has not been
disclosed. Senator Jones, chairman of
the committee, is holding aloof from the
fight and not throwing the weight of his
influence either way. The Milwaukee
boomers are making much of the political
effect of holding the convention in Wis
consin for it's effect upon the Germans
who. they assert, are disposed to be hos
tile to the administrators expansion pol
icy.
After counting noses tonight Kansas
City claimed a clear majority Of the votes,
but the Milwaukee contingent were equal
ly certain that they had a majority. The
concensus of opinion is that the conven-
taon will be held before the republican
convention, early in June or the latter
part of May.

Philippine War Almost at
an End Now.
A POLICE SYSTEM
Will be Necessary In the Future In
the ISlandS-NeW Commission Will
be Sent to That Country by the
United States.

Washington, Feb. 21.-According to in
| formation received at the war depart
| ment from Manila at the end of the pres
ent expedition of General Bates into the
provinces at the extreme southern part
of the island of Luzon, military opera
| tions in the Philippines will close. After
ward, it is stated, there is nothing to do
but to undertake the maintaining of a
police system.
Attention is now being given to that
subject, and steps are being taken to
form a thoroughly mobile. lightly armed
gendarmerie on the plan of the Cana
dian mounted police, to cover the island
at all points and conserve the energies of
the regular troops.
The arrest of a Tagal on the charge of
being a guerrilla, as reported from
Manila yesterday, it is said at the de-
partment marked the initiation of an
either policy toward the insurgents who
still remain under arms. AS the sum-
mary punishment of guerrillas cannot
be had until some action has been taken
to declare the termination of the appli-
cation of the rules of war. it is assumed
at the war department that General Otis
has already issued some kind OF a roc
lamation or notice to the natives, warn
ing them that if they defy the rules Of
war and pursue predatory warfare they
will be treated as guerrillas when cap
tured.
The president is %devoting special at
tention to the formation of the new
Philippine commission, acting on the
advice that the army has reached the
end of it's function in the islands and
that the time is ripe for the establish
ment Of civil government throughout the
archipelago. 1t is hoped that the per-
sonnet can be completed before the end
of next week. 1t appears hat Mr.. DENLY
was obliged to decline reappointment as
a commissioner or account of physical
inability to stand the hard work hat will
be involved throughout the visit to all
the islands and set up local govern
ments.

ence of the Reactions in London

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The London mar
hot was shown in the early cables this
morning materially depressed. and chiefly
IN consequence of this circumstance the
local market opened at general recessions
from the closing figures of yesterday.
The reactionary tendency Of the L-ndon
market was attributed both 10 the disap-
pointment that General French's vic DRY
was 10 more decisive than II has since
turned out to be. and further TO the ap-
Irehensions that diplomatic ENHANCEMENT
would grow out of the seizure by the Brit
ISL OF the American and German mer-
chant vessels proceeding to DelagOa Bay.
The initial declines in the railway list
averaged 3-S Of point. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was sharply depressed in the ini-
t.I dealings. but later on IL recovered
rafidly, and the general market also de-
vcloped a much hrmer tone after the open
ing. and recovered the greater part OF the
early declines. American Tobacco and
Sugar Refining were both exceedingly ac-
tive and strong.
The industrial quarter generally was
firm, but in the early dealings the railway
list contributed the most to the total trans
actions.
