PHILIPPINE POLITICS.
Aims and Plans of the PROPOSED Auto
nomy Party.

Manila, December 20.-The leaders OF
the projected autonomy party have again
visited the Philippine commission and
the platform proposed was discussed
privately and In an informal way. The
commissioners advise ths elimination of
a few minor features. Personally tney
approve the movement as forward step
in the direction Of the ultimate measure
of self government which the commis'
sion has already been instructed to en-
deavor to bring about.
The plan of the party Is to form U United
Slater territories involving candtdature
for ultimate statehood. According to the
plan, the governor general appointed by
the President would have power TO veto
except in cases of a two-thirds vote OF the
Legislature. The legislature would choose
five delegates to the United States Con-
gress.
The platform opposes the sale Of the
PHILIPPINES without tha consent OF the
legislature. In the main it repeats the
features OF the United States constitu-
tion.

sire to discover who discloses to the Chi-

The ministers admit that yesterday was
a critical moment for the preliminary
Joint note, as 1t was felt that a point had
been reached where, II they did not
agree, other difficulties might occur. AS
a matter OF fact there was threat bV one
of the ministers that his government
would have other notifications and that
he had not reached decision.
A meeting of the ministers will be held
tonight to sign the note which probably
on Saturday will be delivered by all the
ministers to Ii Hung Chang and Prince

as soon as possible.
The original note Will be written In

Four days Will elapse before reply
can be expected, owing to the necessity oil

LEGISLATIVE FOX HUNTS.

Saturday.

The first of the series of three Legisla
tive fox races between the hounds of
Baltimore, Howard and Anne Arundel
counties took place Saturday morning
near Senator Elijah B. Williams home.
eight miles from Glenburnie, Anne
Arundel county.
The races are for cup offered by Mr.
Redmond c. Stewart. and the conditions
are that the packs are to start and run
wild foxes. and are to be judged accord
ing to their speed, edurance. nose am.
bition and "fox sense" The judges are
Senators Ravenscroft and Beasman and
DIR. Mackie. one OF the Delegates from
Cecil county.
The match was arranged at Annapolis
week or two ago as the result of dis
cussion as to the relative merits of fast
and slow working dogs. and as original.
ly fixed the cup was TO have been con-
tested for FIVE packs. but Senator Beas-
man OF Carroll and Senator Ravenscroft
of Garrett decided to withdraw the packs
owned by them.
A large number CT Senators and Dele
gates went down from Baltimore Saturday
to Senator Williams home, and were
entertained there. while few went from
Glenburnie that morning. The meet was
of course, at Senator Williams place,
but the real start was from The Island
six miles away. A light frost and a
crisp. bright morning made an ideal day
for the chase and gave promise of good
run.

Historic Rectory Burned.

The rectory Of St. James Episcopal
Church, near Tracy's Landing. in this
county, has been destroyed by fire. The
house was occupied by the Rev. Alex
ander Gait. rector of the parish. There
was an insurance of about 81 500 on the
building, which will net cover the loss.
This old rectory was one of the historic
and one of the oldest dwellings in Mary
land. 1t was probably built by the State
when the Church Of England was the es-
tablished church OF Maryland and it was
occupied by Bishop Claggett when he
was rector OF St. James parish. nearly a
century and half ago. Among the
articles destroyed in the fire was the old
silver communion service, which was
presented to the parish by Queen Anne
and which was regarded as almost inval-
liable. The rector and his family escap-
ed from the burning building just before
the roof fell in and all their clothing and
furniture were destroyed, leaving them
destitute.

telegram was received by the anxious

the sad fact that she was widowed and
her six children were orphans. The
death was wholly unexpected. and the
shock was a great one. In the death of

could aid and befriend. No bread was
ever permitted to become stale in his

were given to the poor, regardless Of
church, caste or color. He was generous
and kind-hearted. and always ready to
befriend those in trouble or distress. He
was a membor Of the First Presbyterian
Church. and on last Sunday his eldest

Commander Richard Wainwright was
taken completely by surprise by the re-

Superintendent OF the Naval Academy.
at this place. to succeed Admiral Nc
Nair. The first intimation he had OF it
came in the form of several congratula-
tory kilograms, which reached him near
midnight last night on board the ship
Saniee, where he had been entertaining
some friends at dinner. Up to noon to-
day he had not received official no,ifica-
ton Of the appointment. and expressed
himself as disinclined to discuss the mat
ter until the Official notice came.
Commander Wainwright's appoint
ment will cause>a radical change. not
only in his own status. but in that of
several others now connected with the
Academy. The new superintendent will
remove from the Santee, where he and
his family are now quartered, TO the
handsome house on shore, to which his
new position will entitle him. He will
have at his disposal horses and carriages,
besides goodly sum for entertaining.
Further than this. il will bring about the
detachment and removal to other 10.
calities of at least three officers who now
fill berths at the Naval Academy. These
are Commander Charles T. Hutchins.
Commander r. r. lngersoll and Com
mander Kearney. all of whom outrank
Commander Wainwright. and therefore
cannot receive orders from him. Com
mander Wainwright is very popular in
Annapolis, and his promotion gives
universal satisfaction.
