NELSON ON PHILIPPINES.
Minnesota Senator Discusses Situation
in Orient.

Alexandria, Mimi, Sept. Ex-senator
Knute Nelson delivered an address
here last night and devoted himself
exclusively to the Philippine question.
He gave an exhaustive review Of the
situation on the islands and closed as
follows: Having given the FilipinOs
a stable form Of government, Bryan
would give them their absolute indie
pendence and then protect them from
the interference Of other nations. If
it is our duty to establish a stable form
of government, it follows that it is our
duty to see that such form of govern
ment is maintained, for without it we
cannot give them adequate protection
against the other nations. AguinaldO
and his chiefs represent the most civ
ilized and intelligent element of the
native races, and yet we know it was
their purpose to burn, sack and loot
Manila, and slaughter all foreigners
in the city. The independence the Fill
ipinos would enjoy under such leaders
as Aguinaldo would be such independ-
ence as the people of Hayti and st.
Domingo enjoy-brute lawlessness,
partly restrained by brute force, and
revolution succeeding revolution. To
relinquish our title and sovereignty to
the FilipinOs and then continue to
maintain stable government there
and protect them against the inroads
OF foreign nations would make out a
task more difficult and more burden
some than ever"

spondent of the Standard telegraphs
that the Germans. Austrians and ItaI-
ians i'll remain in Pekin after the Rus

establishment at the idea of eVacuating

terms with China behind the backs Of
the powers. The Standard expresses
qualification at the explanation of the
United States government, and does
not approve OF Russia's proceedings.

Emperor Nicholas the initiative in the
appointment of the field marshal,
Count Won Waldersee, to command the

ARKANSAS VOTE LIuaT.
Democratic Ticket Elected With Slight
~ Reduced Majority.

Little Rock Sept. 1.-The entire

of Hope county for governor, as elect
ed in Arkansas yesterday. early re-
turns indicate the vote to be lighter
than as expected. H. l.. Remmel, re-
publican candidate for governor, made
a good showing and his increased vote
over two years ago will probably re-
duce the usually large democratic ma
jority.

as follows; Davis, (dem.) 100000;
Remmel (rep) 10000; Files (pop.J
5000. Davis majority, $1,000.

Edward J. Erickson of Sun Prairie Is
back from Cape Nome, Alaska. He
left home in May and Joined party
in Milwaukee, which was bound for the
Alaskan gold fields. In about a month
from the time ne left he landed at Cape
Nome. He declares that it takes
money to make money in that country
and it's an easy thing lost there too.
A man entering that country does So
with his life in his hand. For the one
chance Of his getting back to the
states alive there are ten against T.
After two winters spent in that land
nan is too lazy to do anything and
should he have money enough to Sc.
away with comes back to the states.
Thousands die every year from disease
and lack of provisions. The reports Of
the wealth brought from those gold
fields are greatly exaggerated as was
the one sent out about the boat in
which Mr.. Erickson returned. 1t had
in the neighborhood Of 100000 worth OF
gold on board and the reports claimed
S. 900, 900. The transportation com
panies are making as much money as
the prospectors. Mr.. Erickson says
that it is a place where no married man
should go, leaving his family, and
surely no place for him with one.
