NOMINATIONS IN CANADA.
The Whole Country in n Whirl of
Political Excitement.

TORONTO. Ont. Oct. 31.-The whole of
Canada, from Prince Edwards Island on
the Atlantic to the Yukon territory on
the west. was in a whirl of political ex-
citement today. The last day of October
was the date fixed for nominations for
tie ninth Parliament Of the Canadian
House OF Commons, to be voted for On
November Z. a week hence. 1t was
thought that there would be number re-
turned by reclamation, but expectation IL
this respect was not realized. In nearly
all of the constituencies there will be
contests between the two great parties in
Canada ami IN a few places are THU d
candidates.
1t is shown By the results of the day s
nominations that the contest now on
between the Liberals and Conservatives
is being more strenuously contested than
in any previous election held in the De-
minion. The number of labor candidates
nominated was conspicuously small, be-
ing less than half a dozen, including two
in Toronto, one in Winnipeg. and one in
British Columbia.
There are more Independent candidates
nominated than in any previous election,
this being due partly to the TACT that more
now opposing their party on account OF
their failure to lower duties and permit
of freer intercourse of trade with the
United States. Two members have SO far
been assured of election by reclamation.

The French Conservatives are trying to
injure the Liberal Government because
they sent troops to the Transvaal war.
while in Ontario attempts are made to

AGoNc1LLo TO AMERICANS.
Tells the People to Remember the
Declaration of Independence.

PARIS, Oct. 31.-Senor Agoncillo, Agui-
| naldo's representative in Europe. has is
sued an appeal to the American people.
Remarking upon the approach OF the Pres
idential election, he appeals TO the United
States to remember the terms OF the
Declaration of Independence, especially the
passage affirming that governments derive
their just powers from the consent CT the
governed. He declares that although the
war in the Philippines is everywhere Caus
ing material ard moral damage. it will
last until the Filipinos have gained their
Independence.
The Filipinos, he adds. are now behav-
ing toward the United States the same as
the United States once behaved toward
England. He contends that the war is
preiudicial TO the United States, because
nobody is able TO foretell when it will end.
Even ii the Americans triumph peace will
be merely temporary and the United States
will be compelled to maintain 4 strong
army in the Philippines.
Agoncillo protests against President Nc
Kinley's assertion in accepting renomina
ton that the Filipinos are incapable of
governing themselves. He also disputes
the statement that a great majority of the
Filipinos would accept American soyer-
eighty with pleasure and declares that If
the statement were true an armistice
should be declared and the desires of the
Filipinos ascertained by plebescite Then
these desires should be loyalty respected
He repeats that the idea and sentiment
Of independence are ingrained in the hearts
of the Filfpincs. and declares that i. would
have been impossible to have continued
the revolt SO long without the sympathy
OF the entire population.

Hannah johnson, because her father, an
enploye of G. B. Markle & Co, at Jeldo,
worked during the strike.
They also demanded uniform wag,
rate Of 81 4 day. The superintendent Of
the mill peremptorily refused to dis
charge Miss Johnson and also to accede
to the other demand and the girls all
went on strike The directors of the
company say they kept the mill in opar-
alton during the summer at a financial
loss because they did not want to throw
the girls out CT work.

MIR. BRYAN's REPLY.
Answers Questions PrOpounded by
Republican Princeton Student.

PRINCETON, n. j., Oct. 31.-When Will
lam J. Bryan was in Trenton. N. j., last
Thursday the Republican Club of Prince
ton University sent him a telegram re-
questing him to answer these two ques-
lions in his speech in Princeton:
First, Will you. if elected President,
redeem the coin obligations OF the Govern
ment in gold or in silver?
Second Do you approve of the disfran-
chisement Of the negroes Of North Caro-
lima by the Democrats Of that State?'
In his speech at the Junction Mr.. Bryan
did not refer to the telegram or the ques-
tions which 1t contained. Tonight Fran
els ]. Hall, president of the Republican
Club of the university, received the fol-
lowing reply from Mr.. Bryan:
New York, Oct 90 1900.
President Of the Republican Club, Princeton Uni
My Dear Sir: did not have chance to read
your telegram until the day following my visit
to Princeton 7 appreciate the courtesy shown
me by the Republicans at the meeting there, and
take pleasure in answering your questions.
First-I can only repeat what | answered in
repIy TO similar question at Wilmington, Del.
namely. that l shall enforce the law as find it,
but I shall not attempt to constGue the law until
| reach it. The Republican party has the ENccu-
tive, House, and Senate, and there is one more
session of Congress before another President is
insugurated. | have no way of knowing whether
this law or some other law will be in existence
after the 4th OF March Ny views on the money
question can be ascertained from the Kansas CITY
platform, and from my letter OF acceptance.
In regard to your second question, beg to say
that the North Carolina amendment is not an is
sue in the present campaign. and your own sense
of fairness will convince you that you should
hold the President responsible for what he mas
done in Porto Rico but not hold me responsible
for what has been done in North Carolina. The
Administration has prescribed an education quail.
fca;ion in Porto Rico, which excluded So per cent
OF the black men of voting. and has also denied
the protection OF the Constitution. The Repnb.
lican policy in the Philippines drew racial
line between our people and the people of the
Orient The race question in the country Will be
OF sufficient difficulty without adding race ques-
ton greater than our own, which VIII have TO be
dealt with 1900 miles from home.
] might susJgest this question TO you: How can
YOU object to anything done in the South if the
Republican party is going to do worse in the
PHILIPPINES than is done in the South? Very
truly yours, WILLIAM J. BRIAN.

TOWN LOOTED AND BURNED.
Shelby, Ncb., Deso1nted by n Fire
Started by Burglars.

LINCOLN. Neh., Oct. 31.-The business
portion of the town Of Shelby, Polk Coun-
ty. was almost entirely wiped out this
morning by fire. During the night a gang
of burglars. believed to be five in number.
swooped down on the town. The till Of
every store and shop in the place was
tapped. and three safes broken open. After
gathering all of the loot possible they set
fire to the Opera House block. the larg
est building in the centre of the business
district.
Before the flames were checked every
business establishment save two had been
burned. In the excitement the robbers
made their escape with money and goods
estimated at SLIGO. An organized band
of bank and store robbers has been operat-
ing in the State for several months with
out detection.

Kentucky Court of Appeals Dis
misses Minor State Office Contests.
FRANKFORT. Ky. Oct. 31.-The Court
of Appeals today handed down a decision
overruling the motion to dismiss without
prejudice. and affirmed as delay cases the
cases involving the contests of minor
State officers, holding that the action Of
the State Board of Election Commissions
awarding the certificates to the Demo-
cratic officer was final, and that the board
having sole jurisdiction in the matter and
having rendered its decision, the court
had no power to interfere with its de-
cision.
Judge Painter wrote the opinion, which
was concurred in by the four other Demo-
cratic judges. The Republican judges dis
sented. The court holds the Democrats
are the legal and rightful officers and
properly in possession of their rights.
The Republican attorneys raised Federal
question, and will probably appeal to the
Supreme Court.
