me to advise you that the agreement
signed August 20, 1859, between Brig.
Cen. John c.. Bates, representing the
united States, of the one part, the sultan
or Joio. the Dato Rajah Muda, the Date

AMEN of the other part, Is confirmed and
approved subject TO the action of con-
sress. provided for in that clause of the
treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain which provides that
the civil rights and the political status
of the native inhabitants of the territory
hereby conceded to the United States
shall be determined by congress-" AMI
with the understanding and reservation,
which should be distinctly u
Gated to the sultan of Jolo, that this
agreement Is not to be deemed In any
way to authorize or to give the consent
of the United States to the existence OF
slavery in the Sulu archipelago, a thing
which is made impossible by the thirtieth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. At the same time. when
you communicate to the sultan the
above : mentioned understanding, the
president desires that you should make
inquiry as to the number of persons held
in slavery in the archipelago, and what
arrangement 1t may be practicable to
make for their emancipation. 1t is ass
sumed that the market price referred
to in the agreement of August 20. 1899. is
not very high at present. and 1t may be
that a comparatively moderate sum.
which congress might be willing to ap-
propriate for that purpose, would suffice
to secure freedom for the whole num-
Der. -
1t Is needless to suggest that inquiry
should be prosecuted in such a way as
not to create the impression that we now
have authority to make such an arrange

create ~extravagant expectation. Very

HOGAN.

That man Hogan seems to be in the
way of everybody that wants to do
wrong.
There is fear now that he will run as
an independent candidate for the goverA
r.
norship. d l..
There is still greater fear that the In
dependent democrats may nominate or
indorse him. f.cT
When he ran for congress in 1896, he
received over 5000 votes. ri
Assuming that these would remain
with him, and hat the independent dem
ocrats would give him $1,000 more. it is
easy to be seen that the race for the
g~overnorship would be between Folsom
and Hogan, instead of Folsom and Toole.
Hogan has frightened the democrats
