TOWNE WILL ACCEPT
That is, il Endorsed by the Democrats at
Kansas City.
DID NOT SEEK THE NOMINATION
Cannot Allow His Name to Be Used IL
There Is to BE Notification of the
Chicago Platform-Br,ef Biographical
Sketch of the Nominee.

CHICAGO, May 12.-Charles A.
Towne was seen at the Auditorium An
mex last night when about to take a
train for Duluth, his home. When
asked for an expression of opinion re-
gardlng the action of the convention,
he said: Il can only say what l have
always said in this connection, that l
have not sought the Office and made
no efforts to secure the nomination,
but If the populists and the other three
parties think | am the most available
man l will accept. l had wished all
along that the Sioux Falls convention
should name a committee to meet COM
m1ttees of the other parties at Kansas
City, out 1t looks as though my friends
at Sioux Falls did not consider that
the best course"
IF there is a modification of the Chi
cago financial plank at Kansas City on
the silver question, would you accept
the vice presidential nomination."
Il certainly would not if it approach
ed In the remotest degree to a back
down from the plank of 1896. But
there will be no b%ackdown; the Chi
cago plank will be reaffirmed."
Charles A. Towne was born in Ing
ham county, Michigan, heal the city of
Lansing, forty-one years ago last Oc-
tober. His parents were in comfort
able circumstances and young Towne.
after a common school education, was
sent to Ann Arbor university, where
he graduated in the academic and law
courses. After receiving his sheepskin
MI. Towne went to Marquette, Mich,
where he opened a law Office and prac-
ticed his profession for three years.
He then moved to Chicago, where he
struggled to establish a practice for
several months, but gave it up and
came to Duluth in the spring of 1890.
He has always taken an active part
in politics and until the free silver agi-
tation in 1896 was a republican.
In 1892 he stumped considerably for
the republican ticket through the
northwest, and his remarkable elo-
quence o % brought him to the front.
At the next republican convention for
the Duluth district Mr.. Towne was en-
Enthusiastically nominated for congress
and was elected with an overwhelming
majority. He seemed destined to be
n Of the foremost republicans in the
west until in the early summer of 1896
he declared himself in favor of free sill
yer. In the fall he was nominated by
the democrats and populists as their
candidate for congress-, although hold
ing his seat in that body as a repub-
lican. He was defeated by Page Nor
ris by nearly 1000 votes. In the fall of
1898 he was again nominated by the
fusionists for congress and was once
more defeated by Morris by a plurality
of 1000 votes, although he carried Du-
luth, the home town of both candi-
dates, by 1,343. In the summer Of 1898
he was chosen chairman Of the ma
tional silver republicans.

PLOT FOR AN UPRISING
Filipinos at Manila Are Said to Have
Prepared for the Same.
OFFICIALS DON'T LOCK FOR 1T
the New Civil Commission That the
Insurrection Continues-An Insurgent
Paper Says Congress Has Done Nothing.

MANILA, May 14.-The latest rumor
OF an outbreak in Manila among the
natives, which was in circulation last
week, was seriously discussed by some
of the local papers and attracted more
general attention than has usually
been the case with this sort of thing.
AS a matter Of fact many Filipinos did
leave their American employers with
the apparent intention of joining some
such move. Their action, taken in
connection with the arrest Of several
natives for carrying concealed weapons
and the dispersion of several suspicious
gatherings, gave color to the reports.
Officials have been active in the mat
ter, but are not inclined to think an
uprising will be attempted. They be-
lieve the Filipinos lack the necessary
courage, especially in view of the fact
that the natives feared to attempt the
demonstration at the time Oh General
Lawton's funeral, although they had
made careful preparations and many
insurgents had come to Manila for
this purpose.
A paper found among the effects of
General Pantealeon Garcia asserts that
the United States congress has done
nothing for the Filipinos and there
fore all Filipinos who are working for
Americans must leave their employers
at once or suffer the penalty. One re-
port is that the Filipino Junta is en-
deavOring to incite ar outbreak in Or
der to show the civil commission hat
the insurrection is still alive.
1t does not seem possible that the
peace proposals Senior BUencamino has
drawn for submission to A~guinaldo
and the other insurgent leaders will
have much weight with the Filipinos.
Buencamino's reputation, gained in
former wars, is that of a man who
hurries to get on the winning side. He
was in disfavor with the Filipinos
even before the collapse of their gov
eminent, owing to a widespread sus-
picion of disloyalty to his colleagues.
Last week General Macarthur re-
ceived a large number of officials, con-
suls and representatives of commercial
bodies. To Lieutenant Colonel Crow
der, his military secretary, he will as
sign many duties heretofore d%evolving
on the adjutant general. This action
is taken in view of the increasing i'm
portance of the governor-general's po-
sition. General Macarthur will give
to his staff authority in matters of de-
tail and will devote himself largely to
questions of policy.
The towns of Holongus and Maalin
on the island of Leyte have been occu-
pied by troops of the Forty-third vol
unteer infantry. The insurgents OPP
posed the landing of the Americans
and sustained heavy losses. The Amer
suffered three casualties.

CONGRESS NEARING AN END
House Ready TO Adjourn June L, Senate
May Continue Longer

IhtS continue LONScT
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE house
this week will send to the senate the
last Of the general supply bills-the
general deficiency and the military
academy appropriation bills-and will
be ready for adjournment IS soon as
the senate passes them and adjusts the
differences between the two branches
upon those already passed or pending
in conference. These conference reports
On appropriation bills are to be given
the right of way from now until the
end Of the session. The house leaders
say they will be ready for the sine die
adjournment June 1, but allowing for
delays and accidents incident to the
closing up of the session, they are
not inclined to think both houses will
be ready to quit before June 10. Later
on if complications arise in the senate
the house may emphasize it's readiness
to adjourn by adjourning over from
day to day, while the senate is in the
final thrOes of dissolution.
The general deficiency bill will be
taken up today and it will be followed
by the military academy bill. 1t is
understood the senate army reorgan-
iZation bill may be taken up on We'd
nesday. The remainder of the week
until Saturday VIII be devoted to mis-
~cellaneous matters. Saturday under a
special order adopted some time ago is
to be given up to the ceremonies at
tending the acceptance of the statue
of General Grant presented by the
Grand Army of the Republic.

FOR THE LAST STAND.
All Sorts and Conditions of Men Com
mandeered at Pretoria.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Lourenzo
Marquee correspondent of the Times,
telegraphing Sunday, says:
1T is rumored that the T%ransvaal
raad, in secret session. has resolved
to order all residents, irrespective Of
nationality, to assist in the defense OF
the republic in accordance with the
terms of the revised military law.
THE Beers now recognize that they
are in the last extremity and all sorts
and conditions of men have been COM
mandeered. The merchants have pro-
tested against the stoppage of a con-
signment of clothing and corned beef,
although the latter was purchased in
America. United States Consul Stan
ley Hollis, who sympathies are motor
lous, is said to have demonstrated
against what he called interference
with American trade"
THE war is practically over" says
the Daily Chronicles Kroonstad cor
respondent, and in less definite terms
this is the view to be gathered from
ali the correspondents.
They picture the Beers as utterly
demoralized and disheartened by Lord
Roberts Unexpectedly rapid advance
and by his facile turning of the care
fully prepared positions of the Beers.
There was practically no fighting
and there are no further details to
give respecting the occupation of
Kroonstad. The correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says the union jack
was hoisted in the market place by
Mrs. Lockhead, the American wife of
a ~Scotchman.
Most of the horses of the Beers are
in a wretched condition, but President
Kruger declares he will continue the
war.
1t appears that the Beers at Kroon-
stad had been reinforced by 5000 men
from natal last Friday, and that alto
gether 1900 with a number of guns
trekked from Kroonsstad on the ap-
preach Of Lord Roberts. The Beers
made an Intellectual stand at Bisch-
rand and had elaborate entertainments
in front of Kroonstad, which offered
great facilities for a rear guard action.
Their only anxiety, however, appears
to have been to get away safely with
all their guns and conveys, which
again they have successfully accom-
plished. The few stores they were
unable to carry away they burned.

Goddard, wholesale grocer, and for
several years was a travelling salesman
and also was secretary of the Indiana

friend Of Neeley's, and secured his ap-
pointment in the Cuban postal depart
ment through Medley. They were ex-
tensively associated together in bust
