Made Great Inroads Into Republican and
Democratic Ranks 1t Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-Returns Of
the election in this city did not come in
from outlying wards till almost day
light. Sixteen magistrates were voted
for and the result shows q decided VIC
tory for the candidates nominated by

elected by reduced pluraities 10 candi-
dates they were entitled to under the
law, only two Of the six Democratic can
didates were successful, the municipal
league electing the other four. The
four men elected by the municipal
league are: Albert H. Ladner, William
Esenbrown, j. NJ R. Jermon and John
NJ. O'Brien. Jermon, before whom ex-
Senator Quay was first arraigned, was
denied support by the Republicans.

Little Left to Do Now but
Maintain Order Through
Police System.
WARNING TO INSURGENTS
An Remaining Under Arms
Hereafter to Be Treated
as Guerrillas.
Time Said to Be Ripe for
the Application Of Civil
Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-According to
information received at the war depart
ment from Manila with the end Of the
pressnt expedition Of General Bates into
the two provinces at tho extreme south
ern part of the island Of Luzon military
operations in the Philippines will close.
Afterward, it is said, there is nothing to
do but to undertake to maintain order
through q police system. Attention is
now being given to that subject and
steps are being taken to form thor
oughly mobile, lightly armed gendar-
merle, something on the order of the
Canadian mounted police, to cover the
islands at all points and conserve the
energies Of the regular troops.
The arrest Of a Tagal on the charge Of
being guerrilla, as reported from Ma
Mia, it is said at the department marks
the initiation Of another policy toward
the insurgents who still remain under
arms. AS the

Of the application Of the rules of war, it
is assumed at the war department that
General Otis has already issued some
kind of proclamation to the natives,
warning them that if they defy the
rules Or pursue a predatory warfare,
they will be treated as guerrillas when
captured.
The president is devoting special at
tention to the formation of the new
Philippine commission, acting on the
advice that the army has reached the
end Of it's functions in the islands, and
that the time is ripe for the establish
ment of civil government throughout
the archipelago. 1t is hoped that the
personnel can be complete before the
end of next week. 1t appears that Mr..
DENLY was obliged to decline reappoint-
ment as commissioner on account of
physical inability to stand the hard
work that will be involved throughout
the visit to all islands to set up local
governments

MIR. Welcomes Theory Regarding the
Whiteside Exposure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Mr. John B.
Welcome, Senator Clark's manager in
his senatorial contest, was the only wit
ness before the senate committee in the
Clark case during the day. His testi-
mony was at no time startling. Mr..
Welcome placed his expenditures for
the senatorial campaign at not to exceed
$25, 900 and at the request Of the COM
mittee produced his bank book and old
checks to substantiate this statement.
These documents were taken in hand
by subcommittee and were not made
public. He said that he suspected Mr..
DAILY of supplying the money used in
the Whiteside exposure. He also said
that he had concluded that the Montana
supreme court was prejudiced against
him and that this was the reason why
he had not gone upon the stand in his
disharment trial.

SECRETARY HAYS REPLY
Answers the House Resolution Regariin.,
the Macrum Charges.

Answers the House Resolution Regarding,
the Macrum Charges.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The answer
of the state department to the house
resolution calling for information re-
garding certain charges made by late
Consul Macrum has been transmitted to
the house by the president. 1t says:
Answering the first Part of the reso-
luton: The department Of state has
been in regular communication by mail
aud telegraph with Charles E. Macrum,
late consul Of the United States at Pre-
toria, South African republic, since his
entrance upon the duties of the office.
Communications made to him have been
answered and the execution Of instruc-
tions sent has been reported by him.
His dispatches to the department., for
warded through the consulate at Lour-
EMO Marques, have during the time
been regularly received. The only in
stance Of complaint in respect to the
transit Of the mails for Lourenzo Mar
ques and Pretoria was in November
last when temporary stoppage Of the
mails occurred at Cape Town, against
which Macrum and the consul at Lour-
EMO Marques protested. Arrangements
were made for the prompt delivery Of
the consular mails to the United States
consul general at Cape Town, by whom
the mail for Mr.. Hollis and Mr.. Macrum
was forwarded to Lourenzo Marques.
The delay lasted but few days and
has not REQUIRED SO far as the depart.
ment il advised. After that time the
departments mail for Lourenzo Mar
ques and Pretoria was sent by a neutral
route which it appears was known and
open to Mr.. Macrum and Mr. Hollis as
early as Nov. 16 last. No obstacle,
therefore, is known to have existed
since then to Mr.. Macrum's unham.
pered correspondence with the depart.
ment Of state.
''At no time while at his post did Mr..
Macrum report to the department any
instance Of violation by openin0 on
otherwise Of his official mail by the Brit
ish censor at Durham or by any person
or persons Whatsoever, there or else.
where. Neither has he so reported
since he left Pretoria, although having
the amplest opportunity to do so by
mail while on the way home and in
person when he reported to the depart
ment upon his return.
Answering the second part of the
aforesaid resolution, the undersigned,
secretary Of state, has the honor to say
that there is no truth in the charge that
a secret alliance exists between the re-
public Of the United States and the en-
plre of Great Britain; that no form Of
secret alliance is possible under the Con.
stitution Of the United States inasmuch
as treaties require the advice and con-
sent of the senate; and finally that 10
secret alliance, convent . arrange
ment, or understanding exists between
the United States ana any other na-
ton

CAUSES SOME ANXIETY.

Long List of Killed and wouA ded Omcers
From Lord Roberts.
LONDON, Feb. 22.-Lord Roberts list
Of 40 killed and wounded officers, in
cluding two generals, in the engage
ments up to Sunday evening, causes
anxiety, especially as in the official lists
neither the losses of the Welsh and Es-
sex regiments nor those Of the mounted
infantry are included. This il about
the number that fell 1T Colenso, where
the non.commissioned officers and men
brought the total losses to about 800.
It is considered strange that when send.
ing his casualties Lord Roberts gives no
information as to the result Of the fight
ing. II he has sent such report the
war office is withholding it,
Moreover nothing is known a. to
what took place Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. There was absence Of de-
tails from Lord Robsrts' dispatch con-
trnstsd with bis rather full narratives
during the first part Of his operations,
which produces uneasiness among mill
tary observers. The morning newspa-
pers, both editorially and critically, ex-
press the opinion that General Cronje
has been able to beat his pursuers and
is being reinforced by rail from Lady
smith and by forces on foot and horse
back from Northern Cape Colony, a.
well az the late beleaguerers Of Kim
berlsy.
Some Crsdence to Boer Stories.
AS the correspondents with Lord Rob-
erts are silent the kilograms from Boer
sources are received with some credence.
The latter aver that General Cronje,
while the British were endeavoring to
surround him at Praaderberg ond Koo-
does Rand, received reinforcements un-
der Dewel and that together the Boer
commanders fought the British to q
standstill.
However all this may be, public opin.
ion will not be reassured until the war
Office issues explicit statements Of sue
cesses, which, of course, would clear
away the gathering doubts respecting
the uninterrupted success Of Lord Rob-
erts' forward movement. No one
doubts his ultimate success, but there is
fear of temporary disaster and that q
lot of hard fighting is yet ahead of the
British.
The latest report regarding General
Butler circulated in the house Of COM
mons was that an agent Of the De Beers
company had received cablegram from
Cape Town, which must have passed
the censor, to the effect that General
Barton's fusileer brigade had reached
the hills commanding Ladysmith. Quite
apart from this, however, and apart
from other rumors, the early relief of
the beleagured garrison is thought in

But in point of morals we can see little

COTTON rEN GENTS.

The Houston CreXas) Post is rejoicing
over l0c cotton That has been the
dream and Inc hope of the Southern plan
ters for many weary year" it says.
Yesterday was the first time in ten years
that such lucrative price for this staple
vas quoted in any American market. Only
a little more than a year ago the South s
great staple product sold for just a little
more than one-half of its present valua-
ton
In 1896 the farmers of the South were told
that they would get less and not more
for their cotton if the gold standard was
continued The gold standard was con-
tinued and the farmers are now receiving
about twice as much for their cotton as
they received in 1886. We do not mean to
say. of course, that the gold standard is
responsible for this. except Indirectly. I'm
der the gold standard confidence was re-
stored and the country prospered There
is greater demand than ever for raw cot
ton. and it so happens that the supply is
short. But for all that the farmers OF the
South see that the evil predictions of the
free silver prophets in 1896 have not been
fulfilled, and we are not surprised that
