ENGINES TESTING TRACK.
Two engines were used in testing the
completed track from Petersburg towards
Richmond last week. The track between
Petersburg and Richmond is almost COM
pleted.
The line comes into Richmond at War
ner Moore & Co.'S mills, and crosses be-
tween them and the Southern railways
freight depots. 1t crosses Cary street be-
low the gas house and comes across
Main between Fifteenth 9ld Sixteenth
streets. All Of this way has been cleared.
old houses having been torn down to give
place to the track. The track will go
over the top of some one-story buildings
All of the work on this line will be
completed by the first of April, but it is
not exactly known when the first trains
will begin to run. It is thought, however.
that they will be running by the middle
of this summer.
C. & o. WORK DELAYED.
The work on the piers for the elevated
track of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
has been greatly delayed, owing to the
fact that the contractors have been nn-
able to get the specified stone from Ken
lucky and West Virginia to continue the
work. 1t will be some time in the spring
before enough stone can be gotten to
complete the construction of the piers.
They are. however. almost completed. and
only four or five piers remain to be
built.

called for the purpose of selecting a can

Mr.. TOWne declined the nomination of
the populists it was generally supposed
Mr.. Stevenson would receive the popu-
list endorsement by general consent The
correspondence which has taken place
among members of the national com

committee meeting makes it plain that
this result, While apparently still proba-
BILE, viii not be accomplished without a
struggle. Indeed, 1T is understood that
many of the leaders OF the party are
strongly urging that the committee shall
name an independent candidate Those
who take this position include a ma
1ority OF the officers of the national COM
mittee, among them being Chairman
Butler and Treasurer Washburne who
are pronounced in their views. Vice
Chairman Edmiston is also said to in
cline towards the opinion that wisdom
demands that the populsts have a can
didate of their own in the field. Secre-
tary Edgerton is credited with being the
only officer of the organization who is
friendly to the endorsement of Mr.. Stew

Mr.. Stevensons friends claim that Ed

half. The best canvass of the committee
they have been able to make causes
them to feel hopeful of the result. Still
those now committed to the course are
considerably below majority in num-
bers. Senator Butler and others who
agree with him contend it would be sui

didate of their political faith in the field.
They also hold that unless there is a
populist candidate for second place many

AN organization was formed in the United
States, called the anti-imperialist league,
which has for the last two years Cooper

literature and materials of war for Aguin-

quired a large army and the expenditure of
hundreds of millions of dollars to put down
Aguinaldos rebellion. The assistance and
the encouragement he received from the
anti-imperialist league and the enemies OF
the United States both at home. and abroad
made his barbarous and irregular war ex-
pensive and bloody.
+ Congress, however, made all necessary
appropriation, providing for the executive
of the United States in the Philippines.
The so-called anti-imperialists declared
that the policy pursued by the government
to put down the rebellion and maintain
States without regard to the time when
such territories were acquired, as impe-
rialism. and that any use of the army to
maintain law and order, however neces-
sary, was militarism. and that giving aid
and comfort to rebels in arms against the
United States was maintaining the princi-
pies OF the uecIarallOn OF independence

SENATOR STEWART FOR M'k|NLEY
ANTiAMERIcAN, ANTi-MPERALST RANTERS GET MERCILESS
SCORING IN HIS LETTER OF ALLEGIANCE.

New York, August Ex-senator William
M. Stewart of Nevada called at repub-
lican headquarters to-day and said he
had decided to vote for President Nc
Kinley. He made statement in part as
follows:
1.-THE United States went to war with
Spain, urged on by the democratic party.
The popularity of the war was such
that Mr.. Bryan Joined the army. The
war was successful, treaty of peace was
entered into whereby the United States
agreed to pay S20,00O,0 ,0ne and accept tn
vote for the treaty, and it was through
in the Philippine archipelago. There
was opposition to the ratification of the
treaty. Mr.. Bryan came to Washington
and persuaded his democratic friends to
vote for the treaty ,and it was through
his influence that the treaty was finally
ratified. 1t then became the duty of the
United States to maintain law and order
and protect the lives and property of all
residents in the islands, whether native
or foreign born.
1.-The United States at the time of the
ratification of the treaty held military
possession of Manila and Immediately
after such ratification assumed the SOW
ereignty of the islands. The people OF
the United States, particularly on the
Pacific coast, became entitled to the vast
commerce of the Pacific ocean of which
the Philippines furnish the key.

lion in Luzon against Spain before the
commencement Of the Spanish war with
had sold out or settled his rebellion with
Spain for $4OO, 600 before Dewey set sal
for Manila, and as part of the bargain
with Spain Aguinaldo agreed to leave the
islands and never return.
Dewey took the willy Aguinaldo back
to the islands, supposing as matter Of
course, that Aguinaldo would naturally
be an enemy of Spain and a friend of the
United States. In this Admiral Dewey
was mistaken. Aguinaldo, as soon Al
he landed on his native soil, organized
