Aid From the Fill
pinos.
They Wanted to Give
100000
If the Democratic Party Would
Aid Their Cause.

Washington, D. O., July S.-During
the Presidential campaign last year
Aguinaldo sent messengers to Mr..
Bryan Offering to surrender uncondi-
tionally in case Democratic President
was elected, and proposing contribu-
ton Of money from the Philippine
revolutionary treasury to the Demo-
cratic election funds.
During Mr.. Bryan's first visit to this
city after his nomination at Kansas
City two agents Of the philippine Re-
public appeared at the hotel and asked
for private interview with the Demo-
cratic leader. Mr.. Bryan declined TO
receive them. They tried again the
next day and failed.
Later in the day they were informed
that one Of Mr.. Bryan's friends would
receive them in his behalf not as Of
ficials of the revolutionary govern
ment, but as private individuals.
The two delegates waited on Mr..
Bfyan's representative and presented
their credentials. They declared that,
with Mr. Bryan's approval, Aguinaldo
would at once issue proclamation
announcing that in the event of Mr..
Bryan's election to the Presidency the
Philippine army would, without con-
dition, surrender to the United States
and trust the Bryan administration Tor
u favorable form Of government found
ed on the principles of the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
The delegates were authorized to
offer u contribution Of 100000 to the
Democratic national campaign fund.
They explained that the Philippine
people We're convinced by the utter
ances of Mr. Bryan that their only
hope of justice and freedom lay In
Democratic success. A Republican ad-
minstration, they said, would govern
the Philippines as subject colonies.
REFUSED TO DEAL WITH RE,
Mr.. Bryan's representative informed
Aguinaldo's envoys that the Demo,
cratic party could have no dealings or
bargains, directly or indirectly, open.
ly or covertly, with men. bearing arms
against the authority of the United
States.
The Filipinos were greatly surprised
and declared that Aguinaldo's inten.
tions were not understood. All he de.
sired to know was whether a pro
clamatlon Offering to surrender to
President Bryan would help or hurt
the Democratic party in its struggle
for control of the Government. Mr.
Bryan's representative declined to ex,
press an opinion.
The offere of 100000 was again re,
ceived, and was a second time declined
The Filiplnos We're deeply disappoint
ed. but Immediately left New York
and went to Toronto. Can, to com
municate the answer of the Demo
cratic leader to Aguinaldo.

No Lockjaw Cases.

Up to date no cases OF lockjaw have
been reported to any of the local ply
sicians as a result Of the injuries suf.
fered by Young Americans on the
Fourth of July,
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-07-08

conceded ON every side no one doubted
that Johnson would raise a merry row
on the platform matter, and probably
have his way If he were present
Kilbourne owes his strength to the
fact that he was ruthlessly shelved
two years ago more than to anything
else. He is about 60 years of age and
lacking in personal popularity. There
Is no enthusiasm in Kilbourne's fight.
So, while he seems to have nomination
clinched, with McLean's backing, he
could not hold his supporters against
Johnson's personal magnetism and
sweeping oratory.
Undoubtedly the majority Of the
delegates are in favor of some radical
declaration on the tax proposition and
want only such man as johnson to
point the way. His failure to appear
on the ground in person, however,
makes it not only possible but proba-
Bile that the KiIbourne- Mclean combi-
nation will be able to have some mean
ingless tax plank inserted in place Of
the hot and vigorous language which
Johnston advocates.
The whole situation seems to indi.
cate that the Kilbourne- Mclean ag-
gregation Is having an extraordinary
run of luck. First the only man in
the state 1t had to fear-Johnson-
threw politics to the winds by telling
just what he thought of Mclean and
KilbOurne, incidentally, just when
Cleveland was about to get the state
convention. Thereby Kilbourne got
the gathering for his home town, which
fact did not do him bit of harm.
Then because johnson refused to be
mixed up in the fight, KilbOurne was
allowed to have the run of the state.
The candidacy of John G. Welty, of
Canton, who Withdrew yesterday, was
never thing to he seriously consider
ed. Zimmerman has made half.
hearted campaign, holding back all
the time IN the hope that Johnson
would speak. But for the fact that all
Democrats seem to feel that Johnson
Is man to be reckoned with. Kill
bourne would have had plenty of
strong opposition. The formers dec
laration of war, however, drove all his
enemies and "those who are not with
him" into one camp and now, to top II
all, Johnson will not attend the con
vention. The Mclean combination is
certainly in luck
Hamilton county, according to Ber-
na"d, will not put up candidate for
any Office. Its members of the com.
mittee on resolutions will be former
United States Attorney General Jud.
son Harmon and Harlan Cleveland, a
nephew of the ex-president.
For the board Of public works Fred
q. Leets, of Ironton, James b. Holman
of Brown county, and II. Dwight Pau
Of Akron are in the race. Justus D.
Smoots of Knox county and Harry
Young of Cleveland, formerly deputy
United States marshal, are fighting fol
the Supreme Court clertsship For
state treasurer, II. =. Allistlne of Gal
lipolis, James III. Morris of Youngs
town and Newton Bunnell of I.eban

H. 4 b. Beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Dec 24-Our market
opened points lower in response to
disappointing Liverpool advices, i'm
proved subsequently on fresh buying,
declining later on the heavy receipts,
closing at net loss of to points
on the day. Notwithstanding port re-
ceipts are unusually large, 1t is claimed
that the same is offset by the loss in
the interior town stocks. Sentiment,
while still bullish, is not so rampant
as it was for the past ten days, yet 1t
is generally believed that values will
enhance further after the holidays, as
Ii is anticipated that there will be a
sharp falling off in receipts then which
VIII be confirmatory of small crop
ideas. While these views may material
lie we think 1t wise to realize on
steady periods because If anything
We're to transpire to shake confidence
In the interim, decline would take
place and as the market is heavily long
and uneasy feeling might be acceler-
ated considerably, however, the under
tone is strong and for any marked de-
cline to be established, receipts must
continue on an increasing scale. The
exchange will be closed tomorrow,
Dec. % and 26, and there will be no
trading on the curb. We wish you all
a merry Christmas.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 24.-The receipts to-
morrow will compare with a small
movement at ports last year, and also
on Thursday and Friday and of course,
this will prove advantageous to the
bear clique, who are already proclaim
ing that we have passed the low point
period, and that after the new year we
shall witness such a big movement of
cotton as to convince the whole trade
who have been loading up on the bull
ish bureau, showing that the bureau
is all wrong with the result of general
liquidation, and big smash in the
market. On the other hand the heavy
receipts in progress are described as
nothing more than regular shipments
of Christmas variety and that after
this month there will be nothing in the
receipts to change the views of those
who have been playing their faith in
the accuracy of government figures.
An avalanche of receipts at Galveston
and indications of a movement at the
ports of no less than 6S,000 as against
$4,000 bales last year, unsettled the
early market which declined 4 to 6
points and caused no little considera-
ton, but before long, most of the de-
cline had been recovered, and this fact
caused no little surprise, in fact the
buying power which constantly asserts
itself on very lower tendency mystifies
people who have been expecting pow
erful short interests to take advantage
of the big movement instead of which
they have been passive observers or
least have failed to initiate on agrees
sive policy. The belief here Is that the
Southern holdings of cotton are on
enormous scale and that holders can
not be shaken out at all, even If the
market rallies so promptly after all
breaks as to disarrange short selling.
Gables were lower by one point. New
Orleans expects tomorrow 5000 to 49,
900 against II. 43S bales; Houston $4,000
to 10000 against 1894

New York, Dec 24.-The stock market
for a greater part Of the day was under
the adverse influences Of further liqui-
dalton In Sugar. Apprehension of a
possible furry In money and the usual
disposition to close out contracts over
a holiday. The combined effect OF
these factors was to reduce prices in
the railroad list an average of lag per
cent. The largest losses were suffered
In ST. Paul, Union Pacific. Rock Island,
Atchison. Great Northern preferred and
New York Central. Hooking Valley is
sues were particularly strong on the
same considerations which Influenced
their recent advance. Considerable sup
port was apparent in Anthracite coal
stock. Missouri Pacific was sustained
by anticipation OF sem-annual dividend
OF 2H per cent. Local fractions were
irregular, Metropolitan Street Railway
and Manhattan Railway sympathizing
with the weakness of the general mar
ket. but Brooklyn Rapid Transit show
ing considerable strength. Among the
Industrials. American Ice stocks rose
sharply on news that the company was
about 10 engage through a subsidiary
concern IN the prof!ts OF coal business
In this city. Sugar was the dominant
feature, and II contributed over one
third 10 the total volume OF transae-
lions. The market closed, however,
with the development Of fresh feverlsh-
ness and uncertainty.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec. 24-The cotton mar
Ket opened steady, 4@7 points lower.
under fairly active selling for both ac-
counts, started by weakness in the
Liverpool market and heavy receipts
at the ports. January sold down to
o.l4c, March to S.24c and May to S.29c.
Foreign selling orders were something
OF a feature on the decline, the South
furnished little business to its repre-
sentauves here. Just when shorts APP
peared to have everything their own
way active Wall street buying set in
and soon forced the active options a
points or so over last nights bids, with
the market showing pronounced
strength. Liverpool responded to our
rally with reluctance. The South
turned buyer on the advance, picking
up late months as general thing as
against sales of spot cotton to ex.
porters. For the rest of the session the
market had an irregular movement,
and while far from weak, repeatedly
gave way before liquidating sales
through commission brokers. All pri-
vate news from the crop country told
of a light yield and of steadily adj
vancing prices in spot markets. The
information from spinning centers here
and abroad proved to be of the best,
and aside from the big port movement
for the day there was nothing to really
disturb the market. On all weak spots
Wall street and leading room bulls
bought May and July options.
The market closed steady, with prices
net 2Q1 points lower.

New York. Dec. 24.-The heavy move
ment of yesterday was rather more
than Europe expected and when 1t was
followed by the large receipts of to-
day 1t brought about a decline in Liv-
erpool. Here the expectation of a
sharp falling off in the movement and
an improvement in the demand from
spinners prevented any sharp break.
The sentiment is more unitedly bullish
than at any time this season and the
heavy receipts are disregarded. Janu-
airy liquidation appears about over,
though it cannot yet be foreseen who
will take up the tenders on Friday
Warmer weather Is reported through
out the cotton belt which will permit
the movement of the delayed ship
ments.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

In the sea island cotton market the
past week the demand was less active
than the week before, though fair
business was done. The sales reported
below were not all by Savannah fac
tors, however, some of the amount res
ported being receipts from the inte-
rior, and also cotton which was held
here and applied by exporters to or
ders received by them. The develop
ments of the past 1.-TWO weeks caused
many holders to dispose of their cot
ton here or in the interior, and II IS
said that after the holidays there will
probably not remain with planters
much cotton Offering as anything like
present prices. Close observers express
the opinion that after the holidays a
further demand from spinners may be
looked for.
