Suppression of Hong Kong Junta One OF
Fifst Moves.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Great Brit
ain will be requested by the govern
ment to suppress the Filipino junta
at Hong Kong. The administration
has had this in contemplation for
some time, and now that no politi-
cal obstacle presents itself the action
is to be taken without delay. The
Hong Kong junta has furnished the
Filipinos with arms and ammunition
for weeks. Secretary Hay has al
ready been advised of the admins
tration's wishes in the matter. He
will direct Ambassador Choate to
represent to the British government
at the rInplnCs are M dtaning
junta at Hong Kong for the pnr-
pose of aiding Filipinos in their re-
bellion against the authority of the
United States in the Philippines and
that they are practically making
Hong Kong n base of supplies for
the insurrectionists. Objection will
be based on the ground of viola
ton of the laws of neutrality. Great
Britain is expected to promptly com
connection it may be said that To-
PEE, the representative of Agoncillo,
who recently came to the United
States from Europe, will be closely
watched, and IL excuse be found by
reason of his conduct he will not
I've permitted 20 remain within tn"
borders of the United States. The
suppression of the junta at Hong
Kong is in accord with the policy
now to be pursued with respect to
the insurrection in the Philippines.
Accepting the results of the cleo
zion as an unqualified endorsement
of the presidents Philippine policy,
and believing that the American peo-
pie have expressed approval of the
attempted subjugation of the ma
tives, military operations win now
be carried on in the Philippines with
greater vigor.

NEGROES ARE DISMISSED.

0ttumwa. Nov. 10.-The case of the
state VS.. Walter Davis, charged vita
having sworn falsely as to the age
of Mary Gordon, the white girl WHO
married John Scott Wilkinson, col
ored, and Wilkinson, charged with
subornation of perjury, were dis!
missed by Police Judge Hall on mo-
ton of attorneys for the defense.
The prosecution failed to identify
Walter Davis as the man who signed
the application for Wilkenson's IL
cense to wed Mary Gordon. The
clerk who administered the oath
could not swear positively Davis
was the man who signed the appli-
cation. The case against Wilkinson
being similar to that against Davis
the court sustained motion to dis
charge the latter. This ends the
matter in police court as far as the
charges of perjury and inducing per.
Jury is concerned.

stein, of the firm OF Silberstein
Bros, has secured temporary in.
junction against the Retail Clerks
union restraining them from passing
cards to passers-by on the streets
boycotting the firm. The plaintiffs,

accusations:
plaintiff further state that the
defendants, through its agents and
officers, have unlawfully, fraudulent
ly and with the intention of injuring

Witt G. Main, as president of said
Retail Clerks union, caused to be
published al article in the Daven-
port Times, n daily newspaper pub
lished in the city of Davenport, on
or about October Is, 1900, in which
the plaintiffs were characterized as
unfair merchants
THAT the defendants have. on txo
occasions, caused its members and
associates unlawfully to congregate
in front Of the plaintiffs place of
business for the purpose of passing
out the cards aforesaid and inter
fering with those wishing to ente

was: shall the constitution be
amended to provide for biennial cleo

been made of the vote cast on this
proposition, usually known as the
Titus amendment, but those which

TRACING THE CRIME TO Hoor.
Damaging Evidence Against Waterloo
Man Charged with Attempted Murder

Damaging Evidence Against Waterloo
Man Charged With Attempted Murder
Waterloo, Nov. 1.-THE prosecution
in the case of Jerome w. Hoot, charg-
ed with attempting to murder his
wife through the agency of an infer
nal machine alleged to contain five
pounds of dynamite, introduced much
damaging evidence against the pris-
oner, and forged several links in the
chain tending to fasten the crime on
him. Among the principal witnesses
was Adolph Krause, the Omaha cabi-
net-maker, who swore that he made
for Hoot box similar to the ne eX-
ploded, and that he had made for the
prosecution fac-simile box, which
was exhibited to the jury and intro
auced as evidence. Perry Perkins and
e. o. Perkins of Des Moines, hardware
dealers, testified to selling five pounds
of dynamite to Hoot on October &c,
two days before the box of explosives
was expressed from Chicago to this
city. Both men positively identified
the prisoner, and the former swore
he had known him several years ago,
when Hoot was studying at Drake
university for the ministry. The
wrappings which were about the box
when received were also introduced
as evidence, as were railroad creden-
tials, which, it is claimed, Hoot had
signed, tracing him from Omaha 20
Chicago at the time of the shipment
of the box from there

Picking, Nov. 12.-Although the min,
listers affirm that their recent meeting
was perfectly harmonious, they prac-
tically agree upon all the questions
considered beyond the most elemen-
tary subjects. The question of indem-
nifty, for instance, was not even dis
cussed. 1t is of such magnitude that
they seemingly are DESTROYS of put
ting off its consideration as long as
possible and the negotiations are
likely to be protracted before any
thing will be ready to present to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries. The pres
ent desire of the ministers is. first

knowledging a few principles. such
as indemnity and the security for TIE
future of the lives and property of

years.

The Entire Fusionist State Ticket
Probably TI-ct-d.
Omaha, Nov 9.-Complete returns
from two-thirds of the counties in
Nebraska and scattering returns from
the balance show Mckinley has car
ried Nebraska by plurality of at
least 1000. An equal number of re-
turns on the state ticket indicate that
Nebraska has reelected Governor
Poynter and the entire state ticket
by pluralities ranging from 500 to
1,S00 over the republicans, the gov
ernor being high man.
If the balance of the state shows;
the same percentage of gain and loss,
Poynter's election is certain, and the
counties to be heard from being
mostly in the western part of the
state, it is fair to presume that this
IS the case.
The legislature will likely be decid-
ed by Douglas county in which it will
take the official count to determine
the vote.
The World-Herald (dem.) claims the.
lieutenant governor will cast the de-
Gliding vote in the upper house, and,
that the lower house is evenly di-
vided with two places in doubt.

three hours that the cabinet meet
ing yesterday lasted were occupied
in discussion of foreign affairs,
necessitated in part by the fact that
the president intends to eXhaustiveIy
treat on this subject in his forth

ence was made to the expressions
in portions OF the European press
that the united States policy re-
garding China would undergo a
marked change Immediately after
the election, and it is authoritatively
announced that after most exhaus-

the present moment, delivered by
Secretary Hay, the cabinet ratified
every detail and moreover unani-
mously expressed it's Judgment that
