The report subsequently denied
that Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's
agent in Europe, was contem-
plating going to Hong Kong to
reorganize there the Filipino
transport AMI re-supply the Fill
pinos with munitions of war has
given rise to the belief that the
Filipinos in Europe are contem-
plating a new campaign. A rep
resentative of the Associated
Press has interviewed one of the
most prominent members Of the
European Junta, who has just
returned from Paris and Madrid
he said:
1--WE are planning no new cam
paign. There is no reason why
Agoncillo should go to Hong
Kong to give the Filipinos a fur
ther supply of munitions of war.
The fact that Agoncillo has just
leased home in Paris shows
that he intends to remain there
and watch events. The reports
from our committees at Kobe,
Yokohama, Macoa, Batavia, Hong
and Bangkok show they are all
working we'll. This is also evil
denced by the fact that 1O,O
rifles were smuggled into Manila
last month.
''The war is no nearer an end
than ever. The Filipino resource
are still great, as can be judged
by the fact that Aguinaldo is con-
tinuing to keep and feed 5000
Spanish prisoners. We are deep
" disappointed at the re-electio n
OF Mr.. Mckinley. Although our
agents in the United States never
led us to believe Mr.. Bryan
ouldsactively help US, yet we
relied on the strength Of the an
ti-imperialists in the United
States.
"We are still anxious TO come
to an understanding, and there
are indications that Mr.. McKin.
ley favors compromise. It is
clear that Judge Taft goes be.
yond his instructions and that
| Mr.. Mckinley is prepared te
give greater concessions than
Judge Taft. It is true that a large
number Of Filipinos are focklng
to European countries. At least
sixty are now in London, but no
with the idea of renewed pro
paganda. The Junta is content
to wait until the Americans ar,
tired of losing officers and mel
by deaths from sickness. w
hope and believe better times ar
in store."

four CHILDREN MURDERED.
AWFUL CRUELTY IN NASH
COUNTY.
The ChiIdred Were Imprisoned,
HaIf-Starved and Neglected
Until They Died, by Their
Cruel Father and Step
Mother.
Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer.

Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer.
Raleigh, November 2s.-Frank
Spruill, ESQ.,, was here to day on
his way home from Nash county,
where he appeared yesterday az
one of the prosecuting attorneys
in case which he says is the most
revolving in it's heartless cruelty
of all of which he has ever had
knowledge in North Carolina.
George Griffin and wife, white,
were tried for causing the death
of Grifin's four children by for
mer m rriage, The Oldest of the
four was barely ten. Griffin and
the step-mother put these chill
dren in an outhouse, go feet from
their home, and left them there in
one miserable bed, with no atten-
tion. They fell i'll with dropsy,and
in fact were half starved. In June
one died. The evidence as so
horrible as to sicken the judge and
the Jury. It was IN evidence that
the inhuman step-mother had said
she was "going to move the mis-
cradle little officiating devils out
into the outhouse and let them
die" The grand jury returned
true bill for murder, but it was
decided to try for man-slarghter,
as 1t was contended for the de-
fence that on account of the grind
ing poverty of Griffin and his wife
the children died as much of dis
ease as of neglect, because he could
not furnish them medicine. No
medicine was given them, no docs
uor saw them. The home of the
Grihin's is in the darkest part of
Nash county. The people who
lived near clearly did not under
stand their duty as neighbors, for
thew should have taken the chill
dren away by force it necessary,
as soon as they discovered their
horrible condition. Whenever the
nelghbors went to aid the chil-
dren Griffin made threats of vio~
lence and drove them away. They
took away the body Of the first
child who died and buried it. az
ter it had remained some time in
the bed with the living. At in
tervals of, about ten days the
other children died and the
neighbors had TO take away
their bodies, It was urged in the
attempt to get clemency fol
Griffin that he was sick with ty-
phoid fever part Of the time. He
was given IL years sentence tt
the penitentiary and his wife
years. She got the shorter tern
because she was no blood rela
ton to the children. If ever twt
people deserved the gallows i
was this pair, and it is wonde
they escaped lynching.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
PROGRESS. AFFAIRS IN
CHINA.
Wants Hay Treaty Ratified. War
Tax Should be Reduced $50
600. .OOO--RecOmmen
Army of 100000 and
Stronger Navy.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The
Presidents message was sent to
Congress and read before both
houses today.
The President begins his mes
sage by describing the present
prosperity of the country, and
contrasting its Importance and
size with what it was at the time
of taking the first census in 1900.
It then numbered but five million
people, and was composed Of but
900 square miles.
He devotes considerable space
to the history of the Chinese
trouble, and pays splendid tri-
butte to the heroism of thetAmer-
lean soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, who rescued the band in
the legations. I'm all the stirring
chapter" he says, (which re.
cords the heroism of the devoted
band, clinging to hope in the
face of despair, and the undaunt-
ed spirit that led their reIievers
through battle and suffering to
the goal, it is a memory OF which
my countrymen may be justly
proud that the honor of our flag
was maintained alike In the seige
and the rescue, and that stout
American hearts have again set
high in fervent emulation with
true men of other races and lam
guages, the indomitable courage
that ever strives for the cause of
right and justice"
The President looks upon mat
tiers of indemdity for our citizens
who have suffered by the Boxer
outrages, as a matter Of grave
concern. The compensation, IN
part, will. come, he thinks, in
benefits derived from the open-
ing Of China to the equal COM
merces of the world. He express
es the hope that the powers will
not attempt to force demands
from China that the Imperial
government will be unable to
meet.
Our success at the Paris Exs
position is matter Of gratifca-
| ton, says the President. We cap
tured more prizes there than any
other competing nation.
He believes that the new i'm
perial meal inspection law in
| Germany will be enforced with
/ out the features of dlscrimina'
tion that prevailed under the ole
law. He congratulates the ccun'
try on the good will prevailing
between our government and al
the powers.
| The President hopes that th'
| Alaskan boundary dispute will
be soon settled by definitely de
| terming the 141st Meridian BY
means of telegraphic observa
, ton.
Il Lynching he denounces il
strong terms, repeating his for
mer declaration that it is a re
proach to our civilization.
Regarding the Nicaragua cana
he comnends the "early atten
, ton of the Senate to the conven
tion with Great Britian to facili
!. ate the construction Of such

: ton which might arise out of th

"IIis Maiesty's good disposi-

ton toward us in this regard
says the President, 'shas been
evinced by the issuance of an
trade for rebuilding the American
college at Harpo9l.
He scores the Senate rather Sc
verely for failure to act upon the
the commercial convention SUBJ
mitted to that body last session,
and says that much disappoint-
ment among the interests affected
has been caused thereby.
The surplus revenues for the
last fiscal year were $79, 9,527, O6O.-
18, he says. The six preceding
years showed only deficits, the
aggregate of which amounted to
more than hundred million dol
lars.
Our foreign trade shows a ree
markable record of industrial and
commercial progress, he says, and
on account of this wonderful pross
perity he advocates cutting down
the war revenue taxes to the
amount of thirty millions annual
". "Those taxes which are most
burdensome to the people should
be Topped off.
He reiterates his former de-
termination to "uphold the sove-
reignty of the United States in
the Philippines, as in all other
places where our flag rightfully
floats" Speaking of the Filipinos

PLEA FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
THE REV. SYDNEY HERBERT cox DE-
CLARES THAT UNIVERSALISM
breaches THE GOSPEL.

In plea for evangelical unity in the Lee Ave
nue. Congregational Church last night the Rev.
Sydney Herbert Cox discussed the subject, Does
Universalism Preach the Gospel" He declared
that 1t did and said that other denominations
should look upon Universallsts brothers and fell
low workers, only in theory. but in fact. They
should be invited to join in all union services, and
other denominations should realize the humhug of
excluding one body whose differences were no more
essential than those between themselves. Mr.. Cox
said in parts
Christianity has a supreme purpose IN the world.

sought by various methods of belief and orgauIZa-
ton. Is that attainment reached by the antago-
nsms and positive conflict OF those divisions of the

SAYS POLYGAMY PREVAILS.
DR.. SARAH ]. ELLIOTT DECLARES THAT
THE MARRIAGES ARE NOT RECORDED.


Sarah ]. Elliott who was a physician in one of
the counties of Utah for a number of years and
who made careful study of the question of Nor
monism. spoke last evening in st. AIMS Church
on the Heights. DR.. Elliott began by saying that
the Bible was taught in the Mormon Sunday
school where she lived as the Bishop who is the
half priestly half civil head of a community,
thought that it was bad a book to place in the
hands of the young. She declared that the theology
which was taught the Mormon children that
the boys would be gods and the girls would make
the boys gods
The speaker asserted that since Utah had been
admitted to statehood two thousand children had
been born in polygamy Polygamous marriages
are never recorded, she said and Mr.. Roberts was
right when he declared to Congress that there
could be found records of such marriages.
DIR. Elliott said that obscene rites performed

Adam and Eve was the feature.
Mormon women are degenerate and abnormal, not
necessarily, want you understand disreputable.
For never knew Mormon woman to be untrue
to her husband, even after the Edmunds-Tucker
law of 1884, which prohibited polygamy in Utah
and made some women husbandless."
DR.. Elliott declared that Mrs. Roberts had said
to her: The Mormon religion is a higher religion
than yours. You marry man because you love
him. We marry a man because We want to raise

monism was that there numbers of dsembodied
