Great Danger From over-Confdence.

Special Dispatch to the 1ntclliEencer.
y WASHINGTON. July Ex-senator
Scott, OF West Virginia, one Of the Re-
publican campaign liners Of the east,
spent the day in this city. He came
over from New York to take Sundays
rest In Washington, the last. perhaps,
that he. wi have until the campaign
ends. The senator is one OF the truth
full men in politics and his predictions
can always be relied upon for their ac-
curacy. Before leaving for New York
tonight he talked quite freely OF the
campaign.
Eyes, we have closed the first week
OF the campaign" he said. Naturally,
1t was spent In shaping up matters and
getting ready for the work which is to
come. Everything started off with
boom, however, and we feel sure that
we are going to win. though It requires
the hardest kind OF work. But, that Is
what we are there for. Senator Hanna
said the other day. that we have our
coats off and II we found 1t necessary
we would take off our vests also. I can
add to this by saying that we Will fur

Receiving Letters Of Assurance.
When asked II It is too early to make
an estimate Of the result this fail, Ser-
ator Scott answered In the affirmative.
80 far we are only advised Of the situ-
alton by letters we have received froro
all over the country" he said. "They
poured In last week. at the rate Of 4
couple Of hundred n day. These letters
give US confidence OF the result, though
each writer says that hard work will be
necessary in his immediate neighbor-
hood. But, as I said before, we expect
hard work and this does not discourage
us.
II do not think there will be the frac-
tional part OF one per cent lost in the
German vote" he continued. "Tha
Democrats have played 1t too strong
on the Bocr question and have tried to
place the German Americans in the
position OF alliance to the fatharland

PEACE PLATFORM.
Proposed by a Former Member
of AguinaldO's Cabinet.

Manila, May 12-Senor Buencaminio,
at one time a member of the so-called
Filipino republican cabinet and who
was recently liberated by General Otis,
announces that he has become recon
ciIed to American sovereignty and that
he will devote his influence to bring
about peace He has sent a proposed
peace platform for the national Fill
pino party to the insurgent leaders in
Manila and to the insurgent generals,
including Aguinaldo, in the field.
This platform declares that it is i'm
possible for the Filipinos to exist as a
alton without the protection of the
United States. and that consequently
they must recognize American sover-
eighty and to strive to attain under a
constitution the utmost liberty possible.
Continuing. Senor Buencamino ar
CUES that the Filipinos are incapable
of government He says:
In our Independent government the
most predominant notes were abuses
and immoralities the offspring of ignor-
ance and the inherited vices of Spain,
by which the Filipino regime was rem
dered odious to our own people"
Therefore he contends American con-
troll is necessary to prevent strife He
recommends to the national Filipino
party the adoption of a programme en-
bodying the following features:
First, recognition of the sovereignty
of the United States, cessation of hos
tilities and cooperation of the Fill
pinos in the prosecution of bandits
who continue depredations in the name
of independence"
Second, a request for a declaration by
the United States, that government
guaranteeing to the Filipinos personal
liberties and rights under a constitu-
ton.
Third-A Filipino representative delega-
ton to present to the American congress
and public the desire of the Filipinos re-
specting political status
Fourth-The application of a part OF
the public funds to the maintenance OF
hospitals for sick and wounded Filipino
soldiers and for the establishment OF
schools.
Fifth-The transfer of the fnsurgent
funds to the American treasury
Sixth-The esta ablishment of a pernan-
ent system of Filipino representatives tC

RUSHED THE PROFESSOR.
Juniors Didn't Want to Hear Seniors
Essays.

The graduating class Of the Hign
school has for several days past been
devoting one period during the fore
noon to listening to the essays and ora
tions Of the members of the class.
A different period each day has been
selected so as to give an opportunity
to the other classes in the building to
come into the assembly hall to hear the
seniors.
Friday it happened to be the sixth,
or last, hour which was selected. 1t
has been the custom of the scholars
who have finished the school day at
the end of the fifth hour to go home
for dinner. When they went to the
cloak room for their belongings it was
only to find the door locked. One of
the professors was there. and told them
to go back to the assembly hall.
There were about twenty boys in the
crowd, and someone in the rear shouted
Rush him" As soon as this idea was
suggested it was put into execution.
The professor stood in the doorway, but
the crowd bore down on him and carried
everything before it. The lock broke
and the boys We're the victors. The
professor attempted TO arrest some Of
the boys but did not succeed in making
a single arrest.
