General Talks For Chicago Papers On Az
fairs In Philippines.
Major General E. s. Otis, OF the
United States army, arrived in Chi
oagO at 7:20 o'clock Friday morning
from San Francisco aud Manila, aud
left at $50 for Washington. Mrs.
Otis and daughter arrived in Chicago
Thursday night from New York, and
the general and his wife and daughter
spent the hours between trains TO-
gether-the ending OF q separation of
two years. General Otis said, LEony
other things:
1.-The war is over. The guerrilla
warfare can't last long. To be surc
we will have to repress those people
for q number of years, but there lie NJ
organized force Of Filipinos. The
depredations that are going on are
conducted by robbers and drones.
The United States troops are now en-.
gagged i'll defending the inhabitants Of
the Philippines against the robbery
and murder committed by their
own people. But the conditions are
generally improving, and in some
parts are better than they have ever
been.
"We have $4,000 effective troops
under arms in the Philippines. Esti-
mates regarding the number Of inhab-
itants in the islands are all wild, but
the number is between six and seven
millions. The great majority of the
people desire peace and wish to again
take up their business pursuits. Bust
ness in Manila has again resumed &C.
tivity and the inhabitants are peace
fully pursuing their avocatiOns.
az cannot see that the administra-
ton Of our distinguished secretary Of
war has made any mistake in this
campaign. We may have made q mis-
take over there, but, if go, they have
been the result Of human liability to
commit error"

Envoy Vessels, of tho Orange Free

for the struggling republics. At the
Creighton theater a crowd Of several
thousand greeted Hfr. Vessels.
"You don't henr the truth about
us, said he. England has all the
cables ard holds the ear of the world.
You know the history of the Beers,
for the Americans, find, have read
more than any other people on earth.
You know how Kruger went to Europe
twice and begged and entreated for
liberty; You have read how Steyn has
studied about the free nations OF the
world; he knows all about the Ameri-
Pn government, and when the English
people say that we were the aggressors
and threatened to drive the English
people into the sea, do you think that
those two men would think for a mo-
ment that they could do such a thing?
Why, there are only $50, 900 people in
both our republics, from the smallest
infant to the men bigger than am. ="
Calls were heard for Mr. Bryan aud
he finally responded in an impassion-
ed address. He spoke in part as fol-
lows:
81 came as Q citizen, an American
citizen, to be present with other Amer
lean citizens to meet the representa-
tives of the BOer republics; to join
with you in expressing to them our
sympathy for their cause and, as 1
earnestly believe, the sympathy Of a
great majority of the American people.

when a nation fighting for liberty will
look in vain to the American people
for sympathy and aid"

them were armed with spears and
swords. A few had firearms, which
they handled awkwardly.
The marines retreated, keeping up

killing between twenty and thirty
boxers.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
Program Of the Association Outlined by
President Hearst.

New York, May 22.-William r.
Hearst, who was recently elected pres
ident OF the National Association OF
Democratic clubs, in response to num-
erous inquiries as to his policy and the
program OF the association gives out
an interview in part az follows:
1.-THE National Association of Demo
cratic clubs will transfer its headquar.
tiers from Washington to New York,
but branch offices will be maintained
in Washington and Chicago so that the
machinery or organ will be in constan
touch with the national committee and
with the congressional campaign COM
mittee.
EVERY Democratic club, society OF
association in the United Seates is ex-
pected to unite in the political battle
this year. And the Democratic organ
ization in every city, town or village,
will be asked to assemble on the night
OF the Fourth Of July to celebrate the
declaration of independence and to re-
ceive news from the Democratic nation
al convention. This ought to be made
memorable display of old fashioned
American patriotism. In some cities
and towns there will be banquets, in
others there will be mass meetings.
"The clubs of each locality will de-
termine for themselves the form of
their celebration. The national asso-
citation desires to recall to the whole
country the fact that this year the
people OF the United States must defend
the declaration of independence or
abandon it. No man who has a drop
of democratic blood In his veins can
fail to assist in this great national pro-
test against the establishment OF sub
ject colonies under the American flag.
The great question to be decided at the
polls this year is whether this country
is to continue to be a republic con-
trolled by the people, or an empire con-
trolled by the trusts. All minor aues-
tions disappear in the presence Of this
giant issue.
THE National Association OF Demo-
cratic clubs enters on the work Of as
sisting the NATIONAL committee and the
regular party organizations in the va
rious states with determined heart
and full OF confidence. The next presi-
dent must be democrat and reports
from all parts OF tina country Indicate
that the principal work OF the demo
cratic clubs next spring will be the
inauguration OF Mr.. Bryan ut Wash
iugton."

AasNeaI In Bingham CoanaE.

The County Democratic convention
held at Rlackfoot Thursday Is entitled
70 more than hurried notice. Its pro
ceedings were satisfactory to all dele
gates and pleasing to all visiting mem
bers of the party.
1t was most harmonious convention
and the good feelings manifested be-
speak the same harmony and good
feelings up to the day Of victory in No
vember. The instructions to the dele
gates to vote for Hon. Robt. Anderson,
Of Idaho Falls, for delegate at large
and Hon. John G. Brown for delegate
from the 9TH judicial district were very
proper and we'll timed. Both gentle
men will do the state honor at Kansas
City.
The resolution indorsing the action
OF the State Central committee in secur-
ing union of all the reform forces in
the state and favoring, as it was favor
ed at Boise, the nomination OF every
state officer from United States senator
to Supt. of Public schools at Pocatello
gives out no uncertain sound, and
speaks in no unmistakable terms to all
who hear that Bingham Democrats
mean to be true to their agreement and
honest and fair with their allies.
The delegates to Lewiston form a
splendid body OF representative men
and women. They will do the county
honor at the convention and will be the
equal OF any delegation from any other
county in the state. With the conyen-
ton, its proceedings, selections and
resolutions THE News is pleased: it is
satisfied. The harmony and good-feel-
ings in all the proceedings, like bread
cast upon the waters, will show their
fruits after many days.

Democracy in New York.

Democracy has seldom presented a
front more free of flaw and seam and
crack. The leaders are all agreed.
They divide on Bryan-whom they re-
gard as inevitable-into two classes.
They all want" him: one band for that
they can't help themselves, and the
other because he's their fair and honest
choice. Decidedly Bryau's New York
stock is looking up. Richard Croker
is about to return; he's for Bryan. Hill
has bowed the head and bent the surly
knee to the Western choice. Bourke
Cochran is already phrase-forging and
beating English into shape at his Long
Island home, to be ready for use on the
Bryan stump. It's understood, too,
that he'll speak for the Democracy
without money and without price; a
/ rare concession.
Aside from folk whose names have
had common Democratic advertise
ments, there are others, either afore-
time independent or Republican, who
are to be anti-McKinley and pro- Bryan
in the war about to fall. Ex-Sugar
Trust Searles has well-developed symp-
toms Of pure Democracy. Parkhurst,
who comes from different coop than
Searles-one Is a reformer, while the
other Is a millionaire; highly different
matters-will break into the party II
he finds picket off the fence, and can
squeeze through. It's not with these
iolk that they like Bryan more, but
Mckinley less. There will be three
sorts OF votes cast In November-Re-
publican votes, Democratic votes and
anti-McKinley votes. Much OF Bryan
strength in New York will lodge In the
latter class. And some OF the names
Will cause more than ripple Of sur
prise.
Ferhaps the most striking figure to
take. the Democratic Bryan end Of the
argument In an aggressive and mill
tant way is James Il. Keene, the Car
OF Wall Street, the unchallenged king
OF speculation. Mr.. Kecne was for Ma.
Kinley in 1896; gave s4O, 600 toward his
campaign. Today he's for Bryan, and
had long interview with the Nebras-
kan on the occasion OF recent visit,
New York is shallow, and there's no
voice TO be 30 potent with New York
as the jingling voice OF money. There

uneasy stir among Mckinley folk. 1t
