FACTS ABOUT THE iFILIPINOS

Representative Wise of Virginia was at
the White House today with R. Eweu
Scott. formerly of Virginia. but for seven
years resident of the Philippines. Mr..
Scott is great nephew of Gen. Ewell of
confederate fame, and when at home was a
democrat. He lived in Luzon for three and
half years and in Lamar for about tho
same time He left Manila in July and
since coming here has kept in correspon-
dence with number of Filipinos who were
at one time officers in Aguinaldo's army.
He induced these men to leave Aguinaldo
by telling them what they might expect.
The opinion prevails throughout the
Philippines said Mr.. Scott, that the in
surrection is kept going in the hope that
Bryan will be elected. 1 earnestly believe
and my information from the islands is also
to that effect, that month after the defeat
of Bryan the insurrection will go to pieces
in such way that there will be not even
any bandits left to give trouble to the
troops. L was living in the Philippines
when the war between the Spanish and the
Filipinos started l certainly have been
there long enough to have learned the char
acter of the people. With this knowledge,
and from what Filipino friends write me, /
know that the insurrection will go to pieces
with the election of Mckinley. After
that conditions will be so satisfactory in
the islands that a child will be able to 90
anywhere without fear of molestation."
Talking of politics in Virginia. Mr.. Wise
said: II am going to be elected in my dis
trict If 1 get a fair count Virginia will
also go for Mckinley If there is a fair
count. l hear of more changes than l ever
knew of in my life. There is going to be a
prise. We have had money to make a
campaign or to register our vote, and the
democrats have refused US every election
judge We have asked for. Despite all this
there be SnrDriSeS The
Gratis have never been more Indifferent, and
there have never been many democrats
who have declared for the republican pres
idential nominee"
The Presidents Departure.
President and Mrs. Mckinley will leave
tonight for Canton. to be absent until the
day of the election. They will go in a spe-
cial over the Pennsylvania railroad and
will be accompanied by Secretary and Mrs.
Root Secretary Cortelyou and DIR. p. NJ.
RiXey They will arrive In Canton tomor-
row morning.
Satisfied With the Agreement.
AS President Mckinley is going to leave
Washington tonight he called his cabinet
members in session at II O clock this morn
ing, the object being to dispose of all public
business now demanding attention. 1t was
found that there was little to be done ex-
cept to consider the Anglo-German agree
ceived by Secretary Hay and were commu-
nicated to the cabinet.
The cabinet found a great deal of salts
faction in the Anglo-German agreement and
will, it is stated, Immediately accept the
provisions of the note entirely satsfac-
tory. The President and his advisers look
upon the agreement a recognition Of
the principles contained in the note of Sec
retary Hay Of July 3. The agreement dis
tinctly recognizes the American contention
Of open door and the integrity of the
Chinese empire. These are, after all, the
essential principles in whatever settlement
Is finally made with China. The cabinet
sees nothing to become alarmed suSpi-
cous over, SO far as the interests of the
United States concerned.
The meeting also considered the subject
Of the Cuban constitutional convention. and
1t was said that General Wood brought
with him some interesting information on
this subject, which was laid before the cabi-
net by the President. In addition to this
there were a number of matters relating to
politics that the President wished
to discuss with his advisers before leaving
for Ohio, where he will remain till the
night of election day.
