UNION REPUBLICANS REST.
Frorn the Dover state Sentinel.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
In the discussion of conditions in the
Republican party of this State very i'm
portant phase has been neglected or lost
sight of. The discussion has proceeded d
largely upon the single idea of factional
supremacy within the State. True, the
Union Republicans have battled for VIC
tory against organized, entrenched De
mocracy, with view to redemption
of the State from Democratic corruption
and misgovernment. Every effort IN
this direction has been met with bitter
and trelentess opposition, by those call
ing themselves Regular Republicans.
Not because of differences upon the
fundamental doctrines of Republicanism,
nor because of antagonisms to the Ma
tional Administration; but simply and
solely because of a blind, unieasoning
hostility to the personality OF the man
who has been chosen as the leader OF the
predominant wing OF the party. And
the hostility to Mr.. Addicks fould its
genesis in nothing so much as In the
phenomenal success he achieved where
SO many OF his predecessors in leader
ship had failed so ingloriously. Envy
and jealousy lay at the root Of the oppq-
sition to him and to the organization
that resulted from his leadership. The
frank, Ingenious announcements of mis-
candidacy for seat in the United States
Senate, for political prize for which q
host had been for years secretly plan
ming and praying, was viewed as vlo-
lation Of political ethics, not to be tole-
rated. Thereafter, it was the field
the field anything to beat Addicks'
l,i NJ h "a bn inn q A c,
nobody" From that day to the pres
ent the single aim OF those hostile to Mr..
Addicks' leadership has been the de-
struction Of him and the organization
back of him.
Today the same conditions exist. The
Union Republicans are firm in their
position there is no wavering. They
claim the right to select any man they
choose, for leadership, or as candidate
for any office, subject to the decision Q
the majority They claim the right
that belong to majority and this claim
they will never surrender. They CLAIM
more than two.thirds of the Republican
voters of the State, and have declare'
their willingness to test that claim at
common primary election. Possessin
an undisputed majority, conscious 9
strength, they have proposed, in the in
terest of harmony, and in the desire TO
a complete Republican administratio
in the State, to divide the State office
equally between the factions, and to gi 7
to the minority its choice OF Unite
States Senator. Liberality, generosit
cannot be expected to 60 further, an
this is the ultimate limit. Having mad
this offer in good faith the Union Reput
licans rest.

upon the Beers by the people of the
United States, whom they had almost

allies OF Great Britain, are getting their
revenge by turning upon Mr.. Richard

Washington. Jan. 10.-The war de.
partment has received the following
from General Otis:
"Manila.-Bates is pursuing the en-.
emy in the south with vigor.
''Schwan's column, moving along
the shore of Laguna de Bay, struck 800
insurrectos under General Noriel at
Binen the 9Th inst, and drove them
westward On Silan. He captured the
place, from which the cavalry pushed
through to Indian. Schwan captured
three of Noriel's six pieces of artillery
and will take the remainder; also his
transportation, with records, and q
large quantity of ammunition.
Two battalions of Twenty-eighth,
part of Wheaton's column, struck the
enemy near linus yesterday. killing
and wounding 140.
"Birkheimer, with battalion of the
Twenty eighth, struck the enemy en-
trenched west of Bacoor yesterday

THE LOSS OF THE HUPEH.
Chinese Crew Of Forty-Five Perished-

Chinese Crew of Forty-F Five Perished-
Were on Rats.
San Francisco, Jan. 10.-The story
cf the loss of the British steamer Hu.
peh, on her voyage from this city to
Hong King, via Java, has been received
in this city, and the details show that
the loss of the vessel was accompanied
by far greater loss of life than the
cabled reports told of. The vessel
sprung a leak after leaving Java with q
cargo of sugar for Hong Kong. The
Chinese crew refused to work. The
ships boats, with one exception, were
destroyed during storm. and the crew
built q number of RATS, launching
them and setting them afoat, leaving
the captain and one passenger on board
the sinking vessel. The Europeans oc-
cupied one raft and the Chinese were
divided on six or seven others.
The RATS were soon surrounded by
hundreds of ravenous sharks, which, in
their eagerness to get at the ship
wrecked sailors, jumped far out of the
water. Soon several of the Chinese
RATS were overturned, and 1t was then
that the Europeans decided to return
to the vessel. The only remaining
boat was repaired and launched, the
captain taking command.
The island of Luband, in the Philip
pine group. was finally made, and the
natives, on learning that the mariners
were British subjects, made them COM
Portable and later sent them to Manila.
Nothing was ever heard of the Chinese
crew, numbering As, and they must
have been drowned and devoured by
the pursuing sharks.

WHITE HOLDS OUT.

His Ammunition Is Low and tho Stu
alton Desperate.
London, Jan. 10.-General White
still holds out, or did so 60 hours ago,
when the Beers, ousted from their foot
hold inside the works, suspended their
assault at nightfall. England has
taken heart.
The situation, however, is worse.
The beleagured force must have ex-
pended large amounts of ammunition
which cannot be replenished, and must
have lost q number of officers and
men, which is counterbalanced, 80 far
as the garrison is concerned, by the
greater loss of the Beers.
General White still needs relief, and
the difficulties confronting General
Butler are as great as before. The for
mer's unadorned sentences, as read and
reread, suggest eloquently the peril in
which the town was for IA houls, and
how barely able his 5000 men were to
keep from being overcome.
The chief concern for General White
is in respect of ammunition. Sixty.
eight days ago, at the beginning of the
siege, his small ammunition was
vaguely described as plenty" His
artillery then had 800 rounds per gun.
Some of the batteries have been In &C.
tion frequently since then, and all were
probably engaged last Saturday. His
stock of shells consequently, must be
low, and this will make it difficult for
General White to cooperate in move.

Rebels Are Being Driven From tn

Rebels Are Being Driven From the
Country South of Manila.
Manila, Jan. 12.-Reports from the
movements of the American command.
ers south OF Manila show that Generals
Bates and Wheaton are at Perez Des-
marinas, and General Schwan Is at
Silan, all awaiting the arrival OF pro-
vision wagons. Reconnaissance have
shown that 1000 armed insurgents
have retired to the mountains from the
district between Indian and Naic, and
that others have retreated along the
coast from Novetel toward Botangas.
Last night, Nolsn's squadron Of the
Eleventh cavalry drove body OF insur-
gents from Naic. One American was
killed and two were wounded. Thir.
teen dead Filipinos were found.
The movement largely resembles
General Schwan's experience in the
same country. except that the towns
are now being garrisoned, and that the
insurgents refuse to fight, retreating
southwark and dividing into small
bands, with the apparent intention OF
reassembling later. The plan of catch
ing large number between two bri.
gades has failed. About 100 insurgents
have been killed, but comparatively
few arms have been taken.
The region is full Of amigos, who
doubtless have been bearing arms,
which they have hidden. The women
and children remain in their homes,
and the insurgents, as they fall back,
release all the prisoners they have cap
tured.

Murdered Sick Infant Given Him ia
Examine.
Hampton, Ia, Jan. 11.-Dr. G. w.
Appleby, for several years the leading
physician at Bristow, Butler county,
last evening, in fit of insanity, killed
10-months-old child of Henry Wear
ly, of this place, while making an ex.
animation of 1t in another physician's g
office.
The doctor took the child in his arms
and handled it so roughly that the par
ents protested, but to no avail. He
suddenly put his thumbs under its
chin, and with his fingers on top of its
head, crushed its face in 50 that the
blood gushed out of its nose and mouth.
Then he seized the child by one foot
and began swinging it around his head
resisting all efforts of the terrified par
ents to stop him, and it was not until
help was gotten that the child was
taken from MIN. 1t was quite dead.
The insane commission was con-
vened, and at midnight DR.. Appleby
was on his way to tie hospital for the
insane at Independence. Three or four
hours after the occurrence he seemed
comparatively rational, and said he
knew what he was doing when he
killed the child, but could not help it.
The cause of the insanity is supposed
to be religious excitement.

cial Debate Postponed.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-During dis.
cussion today of a resolution of inquiry
offered by Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
some sensational statements were made
in the senate regarding the attitude of
the United States toward the Filipino
insurgents. Pettigrew declared that
the government had attacked its allies,
and thereby had been guilty of the
grossest treachery. This statement
was resented warmly by Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, who declared that this gov
ernment had done nothing of the kind,
and that, not even remotely, had it
recognized the so-called government of
the Filipinos.
Morgan of Alabama discussed at
length the race question In the South,
basing his remarks upon q resolution
offered by Pritchard, Republican, of
North Carolina. He maintained that
to attempt to force the black race into
q social and political equality with the
white race was only to clog the prog
ress of all mankind.
The house today ordered two investi-
cations as result of resolutions intro
duced by Representative Lentz, of
Ohio. The first is to be an investiga-
tion by the committee on postoffices
and postroads into the charge that two
federal appointees of the president
John G. Graham, of Provo City, Utah,
and Postmaster Orson Smith, of Logan,
Utah-are under Indictment as polyga-
mists, and whether affidavits to that
effect were on file at the time of their
appointment. The other is . general

A FRIEND OF CHINA.

Commercial Policy.

commercial fOucys
Chicago, Jan. 10.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Minister WI Ting Fang, the representa-
tive of China in Washington, has been
following with the closest interest the
various developments in the negotiations
which have been in progress between
the United States and the various gov.
ernments relative to the preservation
of American rights in the empire of his
sovereign. He is satisfied that aside
from the natural desire of this govern.
ment to protect its trade, it has acted
as sincere friend of his country. In
speaking today of the effect of the as
surances given the United States by the
several powers, he said:
"China's friendship for the United
States is growth of years. Nothing
has ever happened to disturb the friend.
ly relations of the two governments.
look upon the recent negotiations fol
the preservation of American rights in
China as another move by this govern.
ment which, while designed primarily
for the protection of its own inte, ests,
cannot but be regarded in any other
light than as another manifestation oi
its good will for my country.
"There is only one ripple on the
placid waters of friendship of the two
countries which has in it any posi-.
bility of lessening the cordiality that
now exists. This arises from the policy
now being pursued by the military au-
thorities in the Philippines. which ex-
cludes Chinese subjects, and in some
cases even merchants and students who
belong to the excepted classes under
the treaty have been refused admission.
l am satisfied that when this country
considers the benefits which follow the
free admission of my countrymen into
the Philippines, it will issue an order
revoking the military decree which pro-
hibits Chinese immigration.
''The trade of the United States with
China has increased abnormally, 40
per cent over what it was the year pre-.
ceding. Its development is undoubt.
edly due to the friendship which exists
between the two countries, and to the
knowledge that the United States has
none but kindly interest in the EN-.
pire.
"Our relations with all the countries
of the world are,,of most peaceful char
acter My government is reorganizing
the army, and is employing foreign in
structors, and we hope to obtain mo.
bile army which will be able to defend
the country in time of need"
