AS RUNNING MATE FOR BRYAN.
Editors Suggest Hill, Croker, Dewey and Many
Others.
(By the Associated Press.)

tBY the ASSOCldteu 1TeSS.)
Philadelphia, June 21.-The North
American will publish tomorrow morning
the result OF a canvass OF the editors Of
prominent newspapers throughout the
United States. as to the logical running
mate of Bryan, in view Of the selection
of Theodore Roosevelt by the Republican
National Convention, as the Vice Presi-
Dental candidate.
There is wide divergence of opinion,
at least % Democrats Of more or less
prominence being named as possibilities,
strong running mates for Colonel Bryan.
The list of favorites includes such DEM
Gratis as former Senator David 3. Hill,
Of New York, Richard Croker, Joseph Pu-
liter, editor and proprietor of the New
York World, William r. Hearst. Of the
New York Journal Senator Tilman,
Shivcly OF Indiana; Bookwalter. OF Ohio;
/ General Ftzhugh Lee. Robert e. Pat
terson, of Pennsylvania; Admiral Dewey,
and General Joseph Wheeler. One Cali
fornia editor suggests Emilio Aguinaldo.
The tabulated vote shows a decided pref
erence for Hill of New York but no
man has a clear majority. Another ia
vorte is Hearst. He is almost as strong
as Hill. General Wheeler is another
whose name the editors believe would
be a strong one TO conjure with.
Admiral Dewey finds little favor. Pat
terson of Pennsylvania, is regarded by
many as strong candidate and Fitzhugh
Lee is held by not a few to be the one
man who can match the popularity of
Roosevelt.

hundred Filipinos met this morning in
Manila to adopt honorable and decorous
methods for securing peace.
The results were submitted this even
ing to General Macarthur who accepted
them.
The leaders of the meeting will use
their influence to induce Aguinaldo to
cessful, as they hope to be. they believe
Aguinaldo will issue orders in conjunc-
tion with the American authorities for
the cessation of hostilties.
The meeting which was the first of
the kind since the days of the Filipino

Flores, General Pho Del Pillar, General
Garcia. General Macabulos, and other
prominent revolutionists were present.

to be considered were military and civil.

the determination of the political status
of the Filipinos. The immediate object
of the meeting was to effect peace, and
subsequently the leaders could consult
with the civil commission as to political
matters.
1t was evident that Senior Palermo was
convinced that he could obtain Aguinal-
dos canction to a peace based upon the
following seven clauses, which. after four
hours, were unanimously accepted as
compatible with an honorable peace:
First. Amnesty.
Second. The return by the Americans
to the Filipnos of confiscated property
Third. Employment for the revolution

Wholesale Slaughter, Murder Of Emperor
Suicide of Empress Reported.
(By the Associated Press. J


London, June 21-The most startling
news from the East is the rumored death
of Vice Admiral Seymour, but no credence
is placed in the report here
The statement that Ii Hung Chang has
cancelled his passage 10 Pekin is inter
esting. How he manages to disobey the
Dowager Empress urgent command is
not clear, but evidently fear of a revolu-

in mutual slaughter Prince Tuan is al

palace, the Emperor is reported to have
been killed, the Dowager Empress is rep
resented as missing, and in some quarters
ii is believed she has committed suicide.
All this purports to have been contained
in letter from Pekin received by high
official Chinaman at Shanghai.
The Admiralty has received the follow
ing dispatch from Rear Admiral Bruce:
"Taku, via Che Foo, June 21.--No COM

NOTICE OF AMNESTY.
''Rebels" Who Will Now Acknowledge Our
Sovereignty to be Forgiven.
fRy the ASSOCIATED Press.

tBy the Associated Press)
Washington. June 2i.-The War De-
partment has made public the following
notice of amnesty which was issued by
General Macarthur today at Manila:
Notice of Amnesty:
Manila, June 21st, 1900.
by direction of the President of the
United States the undersigned announces
amnesty with complete immunity for the
past and absolute liberty of action for
the future to all persons who are now or
any time since February 4th, 1899. have
been in Instruction against the United
States in either a military or a civil ca
pacity, and who shall within period OF
ninety days from the date hereof for
mally renounce all connection with such
instruction and subscribe to declara-
tion acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty and authority of the United
States in and over the Philippine Islands.
The privilege herewith published is ex-
tended to all concerned without any reser-
walton whatever excepting that persons
who have violated the laws OF war during
the period of active hostilities are not
embraced within the scope of this
amnesty. All who desire to take aovant-
age of the terms herewith set forth
are requested to present themselves to
the commanding officers of the American
troops at the most convenient station who
will receive them with due consideration
according to rank: make provision for
their immediate wants; prepare the neces-
sary records and thereafter permit each
individual to proceed to any part of the
archipelago, according to his own wishes
and for which purposes the United States
will furnish such transportation as may
be available either by railway, steam
boat or wagon. Prominent persons who
may desire to confer with the military
governor or with the board of American
Commissioners will be permitted to visit
Manila, and will so far as possible be pro-
vided with transportation for that pur-
pose. In order to mitigate as much as
possible consequences resulting from the
various disturbances which, since 1899.
have succeeded each other so rapidly and
to provide in some measure for destitute
soldiers during the transitory period
which must inevitably succeed a general
peace, the military authorities of the
United States will pay thirty pesos to
each man who presents a rifle in good
condition.

A New Hat Story.

A well known young travelling sales
man who makes Marietta his head
quarters every Sunday, was the victim
of a joke yesterday, perpetrated upon
him by a Columbus hat drummer The
latter promised the former present
in the shape of new hat and the
article arrived yesterday by express.
The salesman unwrapped it in the
presence of several friends and was
more than pleased with the color and
texture of the hat and taking off his
old one proceeded to try the new one
on. His head is made for a 67s and
when he drew the new hat on it fitted
down over his ears. He had suggested
to his friend that he send him a 6B
but when it arrived it was TX. Hot
weather probably caused it to expand
on the way
