THE Rev. DR.. John G. Patton, the
world-tamed missionary TO the New
Hebrides Islands, in his talk last
evening before large audience in
Hanover Presbyterian Church said;
1.-THE United States could not give
up the Philippine Islands; that at
present the Filipinos could not gov
crn themselves. To leave them
now, would be to let them cut each
others throats. The Every Even

THE Republicans who are pre-
dieting that the Republican party
will be a unit at the coming cleo
ton. will have to adopt more con-
clliatory course it they expect their
predictions to be realized. The
denuntiation Of any man or set of

action. There are other Offices
more important than the Senator
ship, and it is high time that this
truism were recognized. 1t will be
time enough to quarrel over this
matter alter it has been ascertained
that a majority of the Legislature
is Republican. If a majority of
the members are Democrats, two
Democratic Senators will be elected.
1t is against such choice the Re-
publicans should provide and if they
will not do it, they are not worth be-

sion John displayed large roll of bills

his cousin TO sleep at the candy factory,
and for this reason, about tnat time,

BIG DOCK FOR NORFOLK.
Government May Have TO Purchase Addi-

Special to The Washington Post
Norfolk, Va. Aug. 13-Whether the new
dry dock 10 be erected at this navy yard
shall be one capable of holding any war
vessel now afioat, or whether an addi-
tional hundred feet, already authorized,
shall be built. so as TO provide for a great
er increase in the length of the ships, is
an important matter
The Navy Department is now consider
ing the subject. and may decide in favor
OF the so0-foOt dock, simply because the
government at present owns only suffi-
clent land upon which to place such a
structure. Col. William Lamb. who Sc
cured the present deep water channel 20

most potent factors in continuing this
navy yard as the most important naya!

has not suihcient land upon which to
locate it, sufficient time should be taken

burg to-day by Sheriff Beard, and con-
fined IN the city jail. They are charged
with shooting and wounding the eight
white men who constituted the posse

William Carers Injuries are very serious.
The negroes had a hearing before Magis-
trate Wilsher, and were sent on to the
grand jury.
\ few days ago the health board OF
Pedlars District, on account or small
pox, passed a resolution directing the
negroes of the neighborhood not TO hold
certain church festival A notice to that
effect was posted on the church. 1t was
torn down, II is stated, by one OF the
Smith boys, who had a difficulty with
Constable Martin over the matter. The
constable swore out a warrant for the
negro.
Trouble was anticipated. and a posse
was made up 10 overawe the family. Tne
officers reached the Smith home about
o'clock Wednesday morning, and were
greeted with a volley. About fifty shots
were exchanged. The shooting on the part
Of the negroes was done by two of the
boys, hidden behind a chicken coop and
armed with only a singie-barreled breech-
loader and an old pistol. Every member
OF the posse, however, was wounded.
The affair created intense excitement,
and before morning people began assem-
bling at the house. thus giving the Of
ficers immense re-enfOrcements. The
Smiths finally consented to surrender, 1t
being understood that they were not to
be lynched and were to have a fair trial
Sheriff Beard thought 1t advisable to bring
them here.
In a statement made this afternoon,
the negroes claimed that they did not
know that the posse had a warrant but
were under the impression that they were
a gang of White Caps.
