Jones. Manifesto.

The Hon. James X. Jones OF Ar
kansas. rainbow chaser-In-chicf of the
Democracy. has been delivered of n
new prophecy. which compares favor
ably with some OF the finest of his
predictions In 1890. In the latter year,
It will be remembered, lie predicted
that the Democratic-Populist nominee
would sweep every state In the Union.
In this new manifesto he prophecies
that the American people will rise up
ms one man and condemn the course
of the administration In regard to the
Philippines. Here is the full text, as
reported by the Associated Press:
II believe that every people hive a
right to govern themselves In their own
way. The American people will rise
up as one man and condemn the course
Of the administration as criminal ng-
gression. The next Democratic conven-
ton will reaffirm the Chicago platform
and nominate Bryan. 1t will declare
against trusts. II will declare In favor
OF establishing freedom everywhere.
What our fathers believed in we be-
lieve in, and have no doubt about the
result. My idea about the Philippines
Is that It is our duty to restore order
there and then allow those people to
make a government OF their own and
let them manage their own Affairs In
their own way. The government OF the
United States should say to the Fill
pinos now that our purpose is to es-
tablish peace. We should treat the
Filipinos with the same good faith as
the Cubans. Whether we will keep
faith with the Cubans, l have my
doubts.
''rhe Beers by their resistance are
making votes for us with every rising
and setting Of the sun. Our sympathy
goes out to those poor fellows in a
way that words cannot express"
The Tagalogs in the Philippines have
the same right to rule those islands
that Colorow had TO rule Colorado, or
Geronimo had to rule Arizona, and no
more. II Agulnnldo's followers have n
right to govern themselves In their
own way. then the Utes and Apaches
have similar right. Why. under these
conditions, 1t should be our duty ito
restore order there" does not appear
in Mr.. Jones remarks.
But this is not perhaps the most re-
markable part of Mr.. Jones' statement.
He adds n new plank to the Democrat
ic platform. He says the Beers are
making votes for us (the Democrats)
with every rising and setting OF the
sum-" 1t appears, therefore, that while
II Is our duty TO keep out OF the Phil
ippines, It is equally our duty to en-
courngc and assist the Dutch in South
Africa. This does not seem exactly
consistent. but. then. consistency is not
looked for in Democratic platforms. II
Mr. Jones has his way. the next Demo-
cratic convention will declare that 1t
Is our duty to let Aguinaldo alone, and

SITUATION AT THE TUoELA.
Both Beers and British withdraw-Buller
May Attack.

May Attack.
London. Dec. 3O.-The latest special
dispatch from Chieyeley Camp hints
darkly at some important movement
as imminent. This is interpreted with
some misgivings, to mean that General
Butler contemplates renewal OF his
attempt TO relieve Iadysmith.
1t Is reported by the same dispatches
that the Beers have now retired to the
north bank of the Tugeln, being afraid
that the swollen river may bar their
retreat. They are also moving their
laagers nearer Ladysmith, probably
with the intention of putting further
pressure on the garrison, which now
seems to be suffering pretty heavily
from bombardment.
1t is difficult, however. to conceive
that General Butler would make an
other frontal attack. especially now
that the river is rising. and an addi-
tional indication that this is not his
purpose Is the fact that he has re-
moved his headquarters back to Frere.
The Boer movement northward from
the Tugeln is quite In keeping with the
enemy's usual plan of securing n safe
line of retreat.
1t is known that further artillery is
due to arrive for General Butler but
the belief here is that his forces, even
then, will be too weak. He may, how
ever, be animated by n desire to ac-
complish something before the arrival
of Lord Roberts and to satisfy the
keenness of his men 10 retrieve their
defeat.
The reported engagement with Kaf-
frs is very vague. and cannot be ex-
planned pending the arrival of later
dispatches.
The number of members of the
House of Commons who have volun-
teered for the front threaten seriously
TO reduce the governments majority
when Parliament reassembles.
The Rothschilds have donated f2,OO0
TO the Buckinghamshire volunteer
fund. 1t is estimated that f2OO.OOO
will be contributed privately to volun-
teer funds throughout the country. AL
ready the fund for the relief of the
families of soldiers exceeds f500,OO0.

At the dinner OF the New England
Society Friday night the Hon. John
Barrett, formerly United States minis
ter to Siam. read this letter written to
him by General Lawton In November:
II would to God that the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known by every one In America as
know II. If the real history. inspira-
tion and conditions of this insurrec-
tion, md the influences, local and ex-
ternal, that now encourage the enemy,
as well as the actual possibilities of
these Islands and peoples and their re-
lntIons to this great East, could be un-
derstood at home, we would hear no
more talk OF unjust shooting Of gov
srnment' into the Filiplnos, or of haul
ing down our flag in the Philippines.
II the so-called anh-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the truth on the
ground and not In distant America,
they, whom believe to be honest men
misinformed. would be convinced of
the error OF their statements and con-
cluslons and of the unfortunate effect
.of their publications here. II l am
shot by a Filipino bullet 1t might as
well come from one of my own men.
because know from observations con-
firmed by captured prisoners that the
continuance OF fighting is chiefly due
to reports that are sent out from Amer
ica."
This may be regarded as the last
message OF General Lawton to his
countrymen. He fell In war prolong-
ed by the American synpathizers with
the insurrection. Their inspirations di-
rected the bullet that took him from
his country in his prime of strength.
A war is indeed nccursed in which the
enemies Of America find their chief
encouragement and support among so
called Americans. By General Law
toms own charge his blood is upon
their heads. If they are honest men
mislnformed," they will now humbly
own their awful error and cease to hold
up the hands Of the rebels.

Congressman Curtis OF Kansas has
introduced a bill authorizing the sec
retary OF agriculture to establish two
branch stations Of his department. one
At Topeka and another at Springfield.
Ill. The object Of those stations Is
stated to be for the manufacture OF
such remedies for hog cholera and
black leg in young cattle a. he may
think proper. such remedies to be fur
nished to farmers and stock growers
at actual cost There is said to be a
general demand for such institutions
In Illinois and Kansas. and 1t is said
their naturalization will mean much
to the farmers, particularly those who
devote their time to the raising of fine
cattle and hogs.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in compliance with the request of
freight shippers and representatives of
the commercial interests, has transmit
ted to Attorney General Griggs trans
cript of the evidence taken at the hear
Ing last week respecting the new clas-
sification Of railway freight rates. The
proposed classification Is to made on
January LIST by all railroads using the
official classification. These include
more than sixty lines east of the Mis-
sissippI and north of the Ohio and Po-
tomac rivers. The petition of the ship
pers was that the commission should
transmit the evidence taken before 1t
to the attorney general with recon-
mendation that he institute legal pro-
ceedings by injunction or otherwise. to
restrain the roads from putting the
new classification into effect TO the
request OF the shippers the commission
In part complies. Tie evidence and ar
guments are transmitted to the attor-
ney general. but without recommenda-
tion. The letter OF transmittai, which
is signed for the commission by Martin
A. Knapp ns chairman. expresses no
opinion ns TO the claim OF the petition
crs, that the action OF the rnllroa ieom-
panies is in violation OF the Sherman
