mittee.


mittee.
In his letter accepting the republican
nomination for president, President
Mckinley treats Of the Philippine ques-
ton at length, reviewing the events
leading up to the present situation
He seeks to show that the present
situation has been forced upon the na-
ton by circumstances and that there
has not been a time since the destruc-
ton Of the Spanish fleet when we could
or should have left the Philippines.
He asserts that his policy viii be TO
establish in the islands a government
suitable to the wants and conditions
Of the inhabitants and prepare them
for self-government"
In part he says:
Those who profess to distrust the
liberal and honorable purpose of the
administration in its treatment of the
Philippines are not justified Imperial
ism has no place in its creed or con
duct. Freedom is a rock upon which
the republican party was builded and
now rests. Liberty is the great repub-
lican doctrine for which the people
Went to war. and for which 1000 600
lives were offered and billions Of dol
lars expended TO make it a lawful
legacy of all without the consent Of
master or slave"
Speaking Of China, he says:
"The country has been fully advised
of the purpose of the United States
in China and they will bee faithfully
adhered to as already defined The
nation is filled with gratitude that the
little band, among them many Of our
own blood. who for two months have
been subjected to privation and peril
by the attacks of pitiless hordes at
preme the Chinese capital. exhibiting
supreme courage in the face of dis
pair, have been enabled by Gods
favor to greet their rescuers and find
shelter under their own flag
The people not alone of this land,
but of all the lands, have watched and
prayed through the terrible stress and
protracted agony of the helpless SUI
ferers in Pekin. and while at times
the dark tidings seemed to make all
hope vain. the rescuers never faltered
in the heroic fulfllment of their noble
task

The siege of Ladybrand has been
raised after several desperate attempts
to capture the town and its little gar
rison of $50 British troops. The
Beers who attacked Ladybrand are e.

men. The British were summoned TO
surrender Sept. Sunday, but re
fused. and from that time on were sub
iected to continual cannon and rifle
fire. The Burghers twice tried TO rush

proach of a relief force saved the lit

elected four being anti-license. A few
weeks after the closing OF the saloons

so strong that three of the anti-li-

nations. A special election was held
last Saturday and license men were
elected. They at once issued a new

of the clerk. Mayor Robert Wallace

has rendered his resignation. refusing

ing on Les Cheneaux islands, Near

ence which nearly cost him his life.

glare of the maniac. He declared he
was going to kill the other two men.
The sailor, unnoticed by the maniac,
turned the boat toward land and the
prov touched the sand while the doc
tor was still talking and fiourishing
his weapons. Then Weiskittel and the
sailor jumped out and ran for life.
