FILIpIAOS TIRE OF
BEING CHASED ABOUT.
Many of Them Surrender to Uncle
Sam With Their Arms
and Ammunition.

WASHINGTON, July 20. = Reports
received at the War Department show
that the late Filipino insurgents are
accepting the situation with compare
lively good grace and are surrendering
their arms and ammunition to Uncle
Sans troops with commendable rap
idity.
According to one correspondent, re-
ports from different sections of the
archipelago indicate that the rebels
are getting tired of the game, and will
lay down their arms at intervals as the
troops press them to the point of star
walton and the rainy season APP
proaches- The Filipino has dread
of heavy fall of rain, especially when
he has not comfortable quarters in
which TO smoke his favorite cigarette,
and be will not feel like enduring
campaign during that period unless
there have been plenty of supplies
gathered to last through the heavy
downpour of rain.
In securing supplies and establish
ing required rendezvous for carrying
on guerrilla warfare during the rainy
season the rebels are said to be most
unfortunate. The activity of the troops
in different sections has made it al-
most impossible for them to secure a
sufficient number of recruits to fill va
caneies occurring in the ranks. They
would choose rendezvous and stock
it up only to have it reduced and de-
stroyed and their force scattered to
the mountains. where they have been
almost cut of from any base of sup
plies. The result has been that the
more reasonable insurgents have seen
the futility OF further resistance. and
not only come in and surrender. out
are using their influence to induce
their friends to follow their example.

point of view, is the Mckinley admin

Our campaign will be aggressive,

fend anything President Mckinley may
have or not have done, but will go out
with the premise that his administra-
ton has been the best one possible
under the circumstances, and invite the
people to re-elect him in order that the
same good government which has OBJ
tanned for the last four years may
obtain for the four years to come.
I'VE also deny that any of the So
called issues are paramount, butare pre-
pared to meet and beat the Democrats
on any issue they may raise. They
will preach free silver west of the Mis-
souri, river and imperialism east of it,
but they will find before they get
through that they will have to discuss
both on both sides of the river. The
Democrats cannot dodge the money
issue without losing what chance they
have in some Western States, and they
cannot advocate it in those States and
avoid it in others"

REPLY OF MCKINLEY.
This cablegram was at once commu-
nieated TO the President at Canton. and
the following is his reply:
THE President of the United States
to the Emperor OF China-Greeting: |
have received your Majesty's MESA e
OF July 10. and am glad TO know that
your Majesty recognizes the fact that
the Government and the people OF The
United States desire OF China nothing
but what is just and equitable. The
purpose for which we landed troops in
China was the rescue of our legation
from the grave danger and the protec-
tion OF the lives and property of
Americans who were sojourning in
China. in the enjoyment of rights guar
anteed them by treaty and by interna-
tion2l law. The same purposes are
publicly declared by all the powers
which have landed military forces in
your Majesty's empire.
Il am to infer from your Majesty S
letter that the malefactors who have
disturbed the peace of China, who have
murdered the Minister OF Germany and
a member of the japanese legation,
and who now hold besieged in Picking
those foreign diplomats who still sur
yive. have not only not received any
favor or encouragement from your
Majesty. but are actually in rebellion
against the imperial authority II
this be the case l most solemnly urge
upon your Majesty's Government 70
give public assurance whether the for
eigR Ministers are alive. and IL so IN
what condition.
=. To put the diplomatic represen-
1atives OF the powers in immediate and
fEee communication with their respec-
tive Governments. and 10 remove all
danger TO their lives and liberty.
3. To place the imperial authori-
ties Of China in communication with
the relief expedition. that cooperation
may be secured between them for the
liberation OF the iegatsoners, the pro-
lection Of foreigners and the restora-
lion of order.
III these objects are accomplished il
IS the belief OF this Government that
40 obstacles will be found to exist On
he part Of the powers to an amicabIe
.estlement OF all the questions arising
18th the recent troubles. and the
f1enziy good Offices Of this Govern
.nent will. with the assent OF the other
overs. be cheerfully placed at yonr
laiesty's disposition for that purpose.

sTRANDING OF ANOTHER NOAH.
This One Missed Ararat But Struck
Sumter's Castle.

Another story of Noah was written
yesterday, somewhat different from the
original, and with the county jail in
stead of Ararat as the stranding point.
Noah Smith is the modern mariner to
be dealt with, and instead of pairs of
animals this Noah had a pair of ma
chine appliances for which he could
give no satisfactory account. Noah
was cruising along Forsyth street when
he beheld storm cloud in the form of
Officer Glawson, and Immediately
shaped his course for Muckalee. A
spirited chase resulted, the armed
warship of the law quickly oYerhauling
the black craft near the gasworks,
Noah had some $50 worth of engine
fixtures, which the police assert was
stolen, and now the owner of the pi-
ratlcal craft has been drydocked at the
bastile for overhauling and reassign-
ment to foreign waters when court
convenes.

REPORT NOT VERY FAVORABLE
Average Condition of Cotton Given
by States.

The Government report of the con-
dition of the cotton crop, issued yes
terday, is very near the same as at this
date in July. The average condition
of the crop on August 1st., was rs, as
compared with rs on July 1st., 81 for
August 1st. 1899, and 91-2 for same date
in 1898. The mean average for August
for past ten years is 85-3. The impairs
ment of conditions this year is due
mainly to drought and lack of Guilt
walton, while in some sections contin-
uous rain has wrought damage to the
crop. The average by states is: Vir-
ginia 70; North Carolina so; South
Carolina 81; Georgia n; Florida "A;
Alabama 81; Mississippi 60; Louisiana
II; Texas SO; Indian Territory 81. The
area planted in cotton and abandoned
is something less than generally
reported.

FOR CONVENIENCE OF READERS.
Some of the Stories Heard Yesterday
and Briefly Retold. What Was
Said and Done in the Town in a
Day.

A good rain right now would be
worth many thousand dollars to the
farmers of Sumter. Their cotton fields
are being parched by the very intense
heat.
Let all the veterans who can do so
attend the meeting at city hall this
morning and aid in the undertaking to
have an old soldiers reunion here in
September.
Will Dudley has leased the store in
the Windsor Hotel block, next to the
telephone exchange, and will remove
his bicycle business there when the
store is fitted up again.
The number of hay wagons seen daily
upon Americus' streets would indicate
that the farmers of Sumter were not
negIecting that important crop, even
for king cotton at nine cents.
The Huntington barbecue next Fri
day is pleasantly anticipated by hun
dreds here who are going down to that
feast royal. Twenty fine porkers haYe
already been secured for the cue.
The street sprinkler ploughed its way
through the dusty thoroughfares yes
terday, but the intense heat evaporated
the liquid drops as fast as they fell and
the people steamed and steamed and
steamed.
A Sumter county lady sentin yester-
day coop of sixty-fve fine chickens
of the yellow propeller variety, and
Buchanan Bros. paid her SIG. % for the
lot. It pays to raise chickens for

NEARLY 500 NAMES
LEFT OFF LISTS.
Jury Commissioners Complete Re-
vision of Box.
HUNDREDS OF NAMES DROPPED
Because Taxpayers Failed to Make
Returns and Therefore Not Quail
fed. Doctors Excused and Preach
ers Taken.

The jury box of Sumter county con-
tains about $50 names as the result of
the revision completed yesterday, and
that number is between 400 and 500
short of the total contained in the box
during the past two years and from
which grand and travers jurors have
been drawn heretofore.
The total is about $50 against 1,115
names in the box heretofore.
The commissioners, Messrs. J. r.
Battle, @. @. Sheppard, j. j. Hanes-
ley, G.. w. Glover and j. F. Bolton,
completed their work at noon yester-
day, drew juries for October court
and adjourned.
In speaking of the great disparity in
the number of old and new names in
the jury box, one of the commissioners
said yesterday that the names just
didn't appear on the tax books, and as
the new list was made up entirely from
that record there was no other aIterna-
tive than to leave Oft some of the best
citizens of the county.
The fault, therefore, is their own,
aud not that of the commissioners.
Hundreds of tax payers failed or re
fused to make returns of their property
this year, and the names of all of these
are left out of the jury box.
Then there are citizens who never
serve on jury, though their names
have been in the box for years. They
usually come forward with a legitimate
excuse and are let off. For this reason
the jury commissioners decided to let
them off permanently and their names
were, therefore, omitted in the recent
revision.
There was good reason for this, the
commissioner thought, as it tended to
keep down the professional and omni-
present talesman, who is always on
hand to be Caught on the jury" if an
occasion was presented.
All the doctors were left off, as they
rarely serve on jury, but the name of
every preacher went into the box.
Many prominent business men here
were left out because they had not
made returns of property, while good
men in the country districts went off
the lists for the same reason.
The names of sos travers and 142
grand Jurors alone went into the jury
box this week, the smallest number in
years.
