HILL C0NFERS WITH JONES.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS DISCUSSED AT
SOME LENGTH.

Hill said There Was Nothing of Sig
nificance in the COnsuItntion-Sen-
ator Jones Says There Is No Rea-
son why Bryan Could Not Order
Rack Troops From Philippines, IL
He Is EIected-WOuId Like More
Harmony in New York.
New York, July 2s.-One of the earliest
callers on National Chairman Jones at
headquarters to-day was ex-senator Dav-
id B. Hill. Mr.. Hill said that local,
state and national political affairs were
discussed at some length, but there was
nothing of particular significance in the
consultation.
After a conference lasting over three
hours, at which Senator Jones, Norman
E. Mack, Frank Campbell, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, ex-Gov.
stone of Missouri National Committee
man James Guffey of Pennsylvania, Sen
ator Hill of New York, National Commit
teeman Urey Woodson of Kentucky and
others, were present, Senator Jones left
for Long Branch.
After the long conference was concluded
It was stated by Senator Jones that the
matters discussed related to affairs polit-
ical in particular in New Y ork state and
IN general throughout the New England
and Middle Atlantic States.
The national chairman was asked as to
conditions in this state and asked IL he
considered that there was the closest har-
mony possible between the party leaders.
To this he replied
Il think there might be more harmony
than at present exists, though the feeling
is not so serious as to affect the state
ticket materially"
He said he would not make any sugges-
tons in reference to state politics.
The Senator declined to confirm or deny
the rumors that the National Committee
had, or was about to make, overtures to
W Bourke Cochran, Carl Schurz and
other prominent anti-imperialists to enter
the campaign.
Chairman Jones said to-day:
Mr. Bryan believes, and the Democrat
&c platform says that imperialism is para
mount because the people are most in
tercsted in seeing the military and expan-
sionist policy of the present administra-
tion crushed"
Then what will Mr.. Bryan do?" It was
asked "Can he withdraw the troops from
the Philippines Immediately if he is elect
cd?"
why metz" said Senator Jones' "They
were ordered to the Philippines,W can't
they be ordered back? They were taken
in boats Why can't they be brought back
in boats?'

FOUR NEW FRENCH DEGREES.
They Relate to the French Army
and Council of War.


Paris, July 29.-President Loubet, on a
proposition from the minister of war,
has just signed a series of important de-
crees, reforming and recognizing the su-
ments of the war office.
The first decree appoints four new COM
manders 10 the army corps, namely Gems
de Laussier, Tanshot, Lagron and It's
seyre, modifying a former decree OF Gen.
Gallifet, according to which, all members
of the Council OF War, instead of resid-
ing in Paris. are bound to be commanders
of the army corps, and consequently, are
obliged 20 reside at the headquarters of
their corps. This rule Is open to this OBJ
lection, that on the outbreak of hostll-
tiles it would be necessary to appoint 9TH
ers in their place, who might not be
sufficiently prepared on such short no
tice for fresh posts.
The second decree makes several
changes in the war Office, including the
appointment Of Gen. lie Joincre director
of the infantry, in place of Gen. Millet
who replaces Gen. Tanshot as commander
of the division of infantry.
The third decree appointed Gen. Floren-
ton as military governor OF Paris, sue
ceeding Gen. Brugere, who, when appoint
ed. on July a. by the president of the
Council of War, desired to devote his en-
tire attention to his new duties.
The fourth decree replaces Gen. Negrier
who. a month ago, WAS relieved of his
duties as a member Of che council by Gen
De Gallifet in consequence of an impru-
dent order OF the day.

ayan, where the eighty-nine Filipinos are
said 10 have been killed and il Is certain
that no such action was taken on his part
without cause. Alvarez is a marauder
who has been making it uncomfortable for
us ever since we landed in the island and
has also been robbing the natives until
they have asked the aid OF our troops all
along the northern coast of the island. His
band Of marauders are located in the
neighborhood OF Cagayan and have been
making raids continually. They succeed
ed In entering the town at one time and
we're driven out by our troops. 1t was
probably his men who were implicated in
the murder"
