Insists on Bigger Army.

ITO protect American soldiers
and life, to stamp out guerilla war
fare, to create such permanency of
power that every man, woman and
child in the Philippines will know
that we mean to stamp out this
warfare. In addition, to send there
an army SO large and permanent
that it can accomplish those four
objects"
That is "Our Duty to the Phil
ippines, according to a lecture de-
livered at New York OH Friday by
President Jacob Schurman, of Cor
nell University, before the Baptist
Social Union.
General Lawton told me-" de-
clared the speaker, THAT an army
of 100, 900 men would be needed,
and reports from the islands prove
it. hope and pray that Congress
will not consider the matter in a
penny-wise and pound foolish way.
Do not send sufficient force, but
an overwhelming force. l pray
that Congress will give us an army
large enough to wind up the bust
ness. -

Too Many Careless Hunters.

Many hunters escape being slaught'
cred by amateur nimrods only by stay,
ing out of the woods. The record OF
fatal or serious accidents among hunt.
ers will be large one this year, ana
the list Will keep on increasing as long
as reckless and excitable men and
boys feel that they must take to the
woods with shotgun or rifle upon the
rumor that game is plenty and must
explode their weapons at everything
that moves. If it were required by
law that no boy under 10 years OF age
might carry gun and that those VINO
are over that age should take out
license for the use of deadly weapons
the number of accidents that occur
among hunters would probably DC
small.

The Democratic Plan.

General Macarthur tells us that
there will be need of a large
army in the Philippines for a long
time to come in fact, that our
possession of the country will be
held only by the force of arms, and
it will then not be an undisturbed
possession. We understand his ad-
vice to be that the Filipinos are
united in their resistance to our
possession, and that they will dis
turb it by all the artifce and power
at their command. He tells us
that they change their apparent at
titude towards us as the occasion
demands. and while ready to CO.
operate with us and to be friendly
with us in appearance, are always
hostile in fact.
The policy of the administration
of this country, which has put us
in this hopeless position in the
Philippines, has been approved by
the country, and the administration
has been chartered to continue it !;
and to maintain the war, which has
no prospect of an end, in the pacific
submission of the country. The
pacifcation is much like that which
confronts England in her attempt
to subdue the Beers, but our un-
dertaking is far the less promising
of the two.
Our administration is not to be
congratulated upon the job before
it, though it has now four years
given it for its accomplishment.
How patient the people will con-
TIME to be, under the great ex-
penditure of blood and treasure in
the effort to hold the Philippines,
we await with much curiosity to
see. We do not think that they
will long remain OF the opinion that
the game is worth the candle and
we shall not be surprised to see a
complete change of front upon the
part of our administration, under
the popular dissatisfaction which is
sure sometime to appear over the
inadequate results of our military
occupation by these Improbable
lands. The only way in which Our
control of them can be held is the
Democratic plan /; controlling them
through their own people. If we
can get them to erect government
under our protection we will clear,
ly be relieved Of the need of keep
ing among them an army for theil
subjection, and our obligation will
be but to protect them from roreigr
aggression. We have little
doubt that the press Of the situation
will compel the Republican admin
istration to adopt the Democratic
plan Of treating with the Filipino.
on the basis of their independence
and self-government so eviden
does it seem to be that it is the only
practicable plan of relieving itsel
of its white elephant. .-Laneaste,

THREE TERRIBLE NIGHTS.
Mrs. Payne Tells of Her Experiences
In Picking.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 2.-Cecile E.
Payne, who went to Picking last spring
as the guest of Minister and Mrs. Con-
ger, was a passenger on the steamer
Coptic. She told graphic story of the
siege ON her arrival here.
''Of the whole eight weeks of terrible
anxiety and dread she said three nights
stand out with special prominence.
They are spoken of by the besieged as
the three terrible nights The first
was just before the siege-about June
II or IS. Yhat was while we were in
the American legation. We went into
the British legation compound on June
20. The night I speak of was one the
foreigners will never Sorget. All night
long went up terrible cries-howls and
shouts of thousands upon thousands of
Chinese crying for the blood of the for
eigners
1.-THE second terrible night was about
or four days of muggy and sultry
weather, one of the most violent thun-
derstorms I ever experienced broke over
the city. Everybody had predicted that
with the coming of rain the Chinese
would cease firing, but the effect was
Just the opposite. 1t was night of
believing thunder, roaring artillery, in
cessant lightning and pouring rain.
''The third and last night of horrors
was that of Aug. 10, the day before the
relief came. On that night the Chins@e
were fairly frantic to break in and g1n
us.
"The firing that had before seemed
furious was tame compared with the
hail of shot and shell that poured in
upon rs that night. 1t came from all
quarters and seemed to be from every
Imaginable kind of firearms. We had
received reports of the approach of the
relief column and knew that 1t must be
near from the furious attempts of the
Chinese to Stay us. We expected that
any moment might be our last, as many
breaches were made by shells and de-
termined assault at any one place would
have opened the way for the hordes out
side.'

GREENvI1LE, S. O., Oct "A shooting
ARRAY occurred here, which may result
in the death of one, and possibly two.
The shooting occurred at Monaghan cot
ton mills. All the parties are white
men. George Johnston, foreman Of car
penters at the mill, had cause to repri-
mand Ben Granger Granger went to
Johnston and asked for settlement Of
his account, and notified Johnston that
he intended to thrash him. Johnston
went to the paymaster's Office and mott
fed him to pay Granger off. When he
came out of the office he had knife in
his hand, whiting a stick. Granger
met him and told him to put up his
knife, as he intended to whip him for
the insult. Johnston held his knife,
and Granger drew his pistol and COM
menced firing at him at close range.
Two bullets hit Johnston on the head.
A brother of Johnston, from Atlanta,
who had just arrived at the mill, seeing
him shot down, drew his pistol and fired
on Granger, hitting him five times, two
bullets entering his breast, one i'll the
arm and two in the head. 1t is sup

Lady Relates Occurrences Preceding

of Timely Arrival of Troops.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 2.-Rev. Frede
rick Browne, presiding elder of the Meth
odist mission in Tien Tsin, who guided
the allied forces into the Chinese camp,
arrived here on the Coptic, He was one
of the last persons to leave Peking be-
fore communication with the outside
world had been cut off. He left Picking
June 4, and with great difficulty reached
Tien Tsin. He Immediately organized
an expedition for the relief of Pei Tai
Ho, where a party of rs foreigners,
mostly women and children, were be-
sieged by the Chinese. About 80 Amer
leans were in the party, DIR. Brownies
family among them. He sent his fam
lily to Japan for safety, and himself sue
ceeded in getting through to Tien Tsin
on an American tugboat. Mr.. Browne
was familiar with the city Of Peking.
His advice was asked regarding the best
means Of entering the city and it was on
his suggestion that the sewer under the
city's wall was chosen by the Americans
and the British. The result of this was
their arrival several hours before the
Russians and japanese DR.. Browne
said:
"trhe capture of Ticn Tsin on July Is
by the allied forces was so unexpected
that the various treasures, yamens and
minis did not have time to hide their
treasures or destroy their documents. l
was requested by the allies to search the
dockets and files of the various Chinese
departments, and in doing so came
across many accounts which clearly in
criminate the highest officials. A COM
plete register of all the Boxers i'll the
villages around Tien Tsin were also
found, giving names and descriptions so
perfectly that when the suppression of
this pestilential society is undertaken
the list will be of great assistance.
Rev. Frank Gamewell, one of the
Methodist missionaries at Peking, de-
signed the barricades, behind which the
besieged legationers so ably defended
themselves during the long siege. For
this he has been thanked in letter by
Sir Claude Macdonald.

COMPROMISE is SUGGESTED
France Makes Proposition to Settle
the Chinese Question.

the Chinese Question.
PARIS, Oct. Am official of the
French foreign office today formally
confirmed the accuracy of the details of
Frances note to the powers on the Chi
nese question as telegraphed from vi
emma last night. An official said:
I'M. DelCasse has been contemplating
this action for a number of days. France
wants peace and desires it expeditiously.
The minister is therefore anxious to find
q middle course between Russia and
Germany which will meet with the ap-
prevail Of all. There is no foundation
for the statement that an effort is max
ing to secure continental accord to the
detriment of England or the United
States We are unable to understand
exactly the course the United States in
tends to pursue, whether she intends to
act entirely separate under all condi-
lions or whether she will negotiate in
concert with the other powers in case
they reach an agreement satisfactory to
her.
"Germany's note, as | understand
her, presents two propositions, one the
punishment of the guilty, the other the
peace proceedings. While some people
interpret it as meaning that the first is
an absolute condition preliminary to the
second, we see no reason why the pow
ers should not proceed with the treaty
preliminaries with those appointed en-
issaries of the Chinese government at
Picking while the powers seek out and
punish Prince Tuan and his guilty asso-
ciates. There is no incompatibility
which will not permit the two actions
from occurring simultaneously. Our
hope is for an agreement to begin nego-
tiations, and the note expresses M. Del
Casse's opinion as to how best this can
be done. We feel there is nothing in it
antagonistic. to the interests of the
United States, and we trust we will re-
ceive her acquiesence.
