THAT WHITE HOUSE DINNER.
A Demonstration When Foraker Says Roose-
Welt Entertained Washington.
(By de Associated Press. D

Delaware, Ohio, Oct. l9.-The opening
of the campaign here today by the Re-
publicans Was largely attended. A fea-
ture of the occasion, from the opening
prayer of President Bashford to the
closing speech of Senator Hanna, was the
remembrance of President Mckinley and
the appeal for the support of President
Roosevelt. There was little reference to
State affairs by Chairman Warer or by
Nash and Nippert, who head the State
ticket, and none by Senators Foraker and
Hanna.
When Senator Foraker referred to
President Roosevelt entertaining Prof.
Booker 7. Washington las a representa-
tive of the colored race there was quite
a demonstration.
The greatest demonstration of the day
was when Senator Hanna declared that
he did not intend to quit politics or resign
as Senator or as chairman of the Repub-
lican of the Republican National Com
mittee. The crowd assumed that Senator
Hanna was referring to his fellow towns
man although not by name, Mayor Tom
L. Johnson, as he proceeded and there
were cries from the platform that Mayor
Johnson had gone
Mayor Johnson mingled with the
crowds of his political opponents until
speaking began and then he was accorded
a seat on the platform till his special
train left for Cleveland.

Administration Plans.
TIE EXPIRATION OF ENiIsrMENTs
How to Meet Deficiency Caused by Loss in his

is Now Exercising the

CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington. Oct. 19.-One of the ques-
tions that will require the prompt and
serious consideration of Secretary Root
ON his return to this city next week will
be the military situation in the Philip
pines. The recent serious outbreaks in
the island of Samar have disturbed the
authorities considerably 1t is realized
that they may prove serious setback
to the plans of the Administration for
the pacification of the F'ilipinos and the
extension of American sovereignty.
There is no longer any prospect of
| substantial reduction in the strength of
the Philippine army for some time to
| come In fact the latest advices from
| Gen. Chaffee contain arguments against
any reduction of the army at this time.
except as required by the expiration OF
enlistments As pointed out by Gen.
Corbin in his annual report, the army
will lose nearly two thousand men a
month on this account.
The War Department is now consider
ing how to meet this deficiency without
impairing the efficiency of the military
estimate in the Philippines. Gen. Chat
fee has said that he will require three
extra transports to assist in bringing
home the short term men within the
next six or eight months. The quarter
masters department has selected the
transports Meade, Rosecrans and Egbert
for this service. The last two named
transports leave Washington in a few
weeks for Manila. They will take out
civilian employees and supplies. The
Meade, which is at San Francisco is be-
ing held in reserve for the purpose of
taking out troops to replace those to be
brought home
Other vessels which will be utilized in
taxing troops to the Philippines are the
Grant, at Sanfrancisco and the Crook. at
New York. The former, which is ex-
pected TO leave about the middle of
next month, will carry out an entire reg
iment with its equipment and the Cook
will take the nucleus of another regi-
ment and a number of recruits. She
will start about the LIST of December.
Although not finally settled il is prob.
able that the Twenty eighth infantry

will be ordered to the Philippines on the
