IN EDITOR ARRESTED.
Charged With sedition---Entire
Press of Manila Aroused.

Manila, April 10.-Excitement pre-
walls here on account of the arrest Of
the editor and proprietor of Freedom,
a local publication, who is charged
with sedition in publishing, recently
an article from a periodical, to which
the editor of Freedom agreed. He
also added remarks of his own, censur-
ing the United States commission s
rule, and saying that when it stated
that in July last every paper in the
city upheld it, since which time they
had ali dropped by the wayside, as
they would not support arbitrary. gov
ernment, especially when evidences
of carpet-bagging and rumors of graft
were too thick to be pleasant.
The main charges were made that IN
many cases the Filipino oficeholders
are rascals and that the commission has
exalted to the highest positions many
of the FilipiGos who are notorlously
corrupt.
The editors of the Volcano have also
been arrested on a suit of the govern
ment for demanding the removal of
the Judge who recently tried Senor
Valde, (the editor Of q local Spanish
paper, who was fined 4,000 pesetas for
libeliing two Filipino members OF the
commission), and who is now trying
the editor of Freedom under the -sedl-
tion law.
These proceedings have aroused the
entire press of Manila, and its repre-
sentatives met today and resolved to
send a committee to the commissioners
to argue against the injustice OF the
proceedings. The meeting also deter
mined to send cable message to
President Roosevelt, urging him to
take steps to prevent the commission
from using the sedition law, IN such
cases, to prove lese majeste against
editors. The meeting, which was en-
thusiastic, was also largely attended
by lawyers, doctors and Others.

MISS ELLEN STONE.
Her Safe Arriyal in New York.
Met by Relatives.

New York, April 10.-Miss Ellen
NJ. Stone, tne missionary who was
captured by brigands in Bulgaria and
held for ransom, arrived here today
on the Deutschland She looked pale
and worn and said the sea voyage had
made her very ILL., She was met at
the steamers pier by her brother,
Charles A. Stone and by many other
relatives and friends. Miss Stone said
the brigands were not so fierce as
might have been thought. They said
many insulting things, but never
struck or beat either her or her COM
panion, Madam Tsilka.
There have been several reports
rrinted which stated that Madam Tsil-
ka had been held for ransom by our
captors,n said Miss Stone, "but that
is a mistake. Mrs. Tsilka was taken
as chaperone for which | was very
thankful afterwards and I will tell you
why. '.Seven weeks before we were
released a baby was born to Mrs. Tsll-
ka. The brigands had, by this time,
become so insulting and cruel IN their
remarks that it was becoming un-
bearable. The appearance of the baby
stopped all this, for the reason that
the brigands of Turkey believe that a
curse will settle on them if they do
harm to child or its mother. Our
treatment, after the birth of the baby,
was excellent.
cit was when the negotiations for
our release fell through or became dis
turbed that we we're subjected to our
worse treatment. You are to die 20
days from now or we will put bull
let in your brain soon were some Of
the pleasant things that they said to
u.s."
Miss Stone said she would go at
once to Chelsea, Mass, to see her
mother, who is more than 80 years old.

STATE: FAIR OPEN TO BIDDERS.
The Committee Meets in Charles
ton and So Decides.

Exposl ton Bureau or Inc otale,
Charleston, April 10.-Caarleston and
other cities will have an opportunity
to bid for the State fair this year. For
nearly half a century these fairs have
been held in Columbia annually with
few exceptions, principally during the
civil war. It is claimed that Colum-
bia does not offer the fair a sufficient
amount of financial support, ana LOT
that reason the committee at meet
ING held here yesterday, has called Tor
bids from other cities.
The resolutions adopted are as tol-
lows:
CITY of Columbia, S. c., are not IN
the proper, condition, and the build
ings on said grounds are now gettlng
dilapidated, and
whereas, this society is put to con-
siderable expense annually to keep IN
repair the buildings and grounds, to
rent the race track and to erect new
structures, and
whereas, the society has to furnish
all the money from its own treasury
for these purposes, therefore be 1t:
Resolved, That the State Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical society OF South
Carolina will consider any proposi tlon
from any city in this State, to hold
it's nexS annual fair in that city.
The meeting here was; called for the
purpose Of preparing the premium lists
and for arranging for the purses for
the races. The legislature having
made an appropriation of 81, 300 to the
fair. the races this year will be better
than ever, as that appropriation guar
antees good purses. Among the OIL
GERS of the fair association here were
Mai. A. II White, Rock Hill. presl-
dent, and Col. Thomas ". Holloway,
of Pomaria, secretary.
The members of the committee on
premium. lists here are: R. A. Love,
of Chester; T. J. Cunningham, OF
Chester; A. T. Smythe of Charles
ton: j. 6. Mobley, of Fairfield; J.
H. Wharton, of Laurens; D. +. Ehrd,
of Lexington, and G. F. Moore, OF
Bennettsville. The members OF the
committee on races are: r. P. Hamer,
Jr.. G. f. Moore, B. E. Williamson.
of Darlington, and A. T. Symthe, Of
Charleston.
The State fair last year was not
exactly {. failure financially, but 1T
did not attract many people to Coium-
bia, partly because of the bad crops
and partly because oil the fact that
people we're saving money for the ex-
position. Columbia responded very
wei to the call for funds two years
ago and provided very enjoyable street
attractions outside of the fair grounds,
but there was no such elaborate pro-.
gramme last year. and number OF
cities, Florence and Spartanburg
among them, began to talk of bidding
for the fair.
Charleston had nothing to do with
such suggestion, but if there is any
possibility for getting taat Institution
here Charleston would no doubt make
a pull for it. The grounds are here,
the attractions are here, and it would
be necessary to back this up with
little money. Bids may be sent to the
president, Maj. 4. II. White, of
Rock Hill. before the 18th OF May.
