ON the island of Cebu in 1921, where hs
attempted TO take possession in the name
of Spain, but was killed in a slirmish with
the natives. The ships of Magellan re-
turned TO Spain and his companions aroused
an interest in the wonderful lands they
had discovered, but it was not until 1855
that another attempt was made 10 sub
due the natives and gain foothold in tho
islands AT this later date Spanish feet
sailing from Mexico punished the natives
for the killing of Magellan, and formally
took possession Of the entire group in the
name of the Spanish sovereign. Five years
later the city of Manila was founded, and
the different native chiefs in Luzon took
the oath of allegiance to Spain.
Chinese pirates, who had virtually been
the rulers Of the islands for many years
previous to the Spanish occupation, gave
the new rulers much trouble, and disputed
with them the sovereignty. Two serious
attempts were made by these pirates to
drive the Spanish from the islands, but
both resulted disastrously to them, and in
time they learned that the hated Europeans
were too powerful for them.
In 1905 the Dutch attempted TO wrest the
control of the islands from Spain, but were
unsuccessful, loosing their fleet in the prof
ect. In 1852 Manila was captured by Eng
land. That country intended 30 hold the
city, and would probably have added the
whole of the archipelago to the British en-
pire had not political combinations in Eu-
rope prevented. As it was Manila was
again surrendered to Spain upon a promise
to pay a ransom amounting to 5000, 900.
1t is a debt that England has never been
able 10 collect.
Throughout the present century rebel
lions on the part Of the natives have been
frequent. The first serious one began in
1922, which continued for some months be
fore it was suppressed by the Spanish
troops Another came in lS4l, lasting
through the following year. The next one
of any consequence was that of 1872, and
this was followed by the one of ls96-97.

GEORGETOWN WANTS
new GRANT STATUE

For Its Location.

The suggestion has been earnestly ad-
yanced in Georgetown that the site Of
the abandoned high service reservoir
be selected for the location Of the pro-
posed Grant Statue 1t adjoins on the
west the Grant mansion. which for a long
time was the home Of the General-Presi-
dent The site Is a particularly com
manding one, overlooking the entire Dis
trict.
As a further argument in the matter
Of the selection of a West End site, lead
ing citizens here wish to call the atten-
sion Of the committee having charge Of
the monument movement to the fact that
Georgetown is the only distinct section
Of the District that has been neglected
I'm the matter Of public statues, fountains,
monuments and reservations. The high

Nine Congressmen are to be elected and the Democrats confidently expect that the en- tire Congressional delegation from this State will be Democratic. Despite the heavy fight against Burnett In the Seventh District, and the large amount of money which the Republicans have poured into tffe district to encompass his defeat, we believe the Seventh District Is safely Democratic.

CONDITIONS FAVOR HANNA
 AGAINST TOM JOHNSON.

Cincinnati. Nov. 1.-The canvass in Ohio for minor State offices and Congressman closed tonight with less raliying than usual on the Saturday preceding election -the most notable exceptions being in Cleveland. where Senator Hanna and Mayor Johnson have been speaking ali this week and at Columbus. where Sem ator Foraker addressed a large meeting.
 With the exception of Congressional candidates the call has been mostly for centered in the future of these two men at the present time. Mayor Johnson is a The result next Tuesday will have much bearing on their Senatorial contest.
 One of the features of this campaign has been the buttons bearing Johnsons s portrait and the inscription Tom John son for 1904" It has been the most per sonaI contest ever waged in Ohio. If the conditions of the canvassing continue in the bailoting Hanna will win. The Republicans have no factional fighting and Johnson has openly denounced some Democratic leaders. including County Chairmen and Congressional candidates. In this city the home of John R. Mclean. whom Johnson denounced at his tent meeting here last week, both personally and as editor of The Enquirer. bets are offered that Hamilton County will give Republican plurality of over 1h000. It Is believed that the Democrats will lose more than the Republicans on the short age of the registration. especially in Hamilton County.

GRTGGS SAYS HOUSE
 WILL BE DEMOCRATIC.

Washington Nov. 1.-Chairman J. M Griggs of the Democratic Congressional Committee tonight issued the following statement:
 ''The next House of Representatives will have a Democratic majority of not less than twenty. How many more than this we shall have can only be determined af- ter the counting of the vote on Tuesday next It depends largely. as every cleo ton does. on the weather and other con- ditions which cannot be forecasted.
 The Republican leaders until recently have been complaining of apathy. For the last day or two for political purposes they have been claiming that they have overcome this to a large extent and are faint heartedly predicting success. Re- ports to us do not indicate that this is true. Republicans everywhere appear list less and even careless of results We find that our Democratic friends are wide awake and alert in every district In the United States where there is a fight
 Tt is well to understand that the last apportionment bill was so drawn so as to add nineteen Republicans and ten Dem- ocrats to the House, a Republican ad- vantage of nine in addition to their pres ent majority. The Legislatures of the Republican States where possible to do 90. have outrageously gerrymandered Congressional districts so as to create a few heavily Democratic districts and a few Republicans by what they consider safe majorities. This notably Is the case in Illinois and New York. but these StateS have had a habit, of playing havoc with political gerrymanders in the past and we believe that this is a year in which there will be a repetition of this. We are not depending on this. however, for our majority named above. Even if these Stats go as they were gerrymandered to go. we shall have a Democratic House by a safe working majority"

trict, where ex-congressnA D. Lorimer Is making a hard fight for election. Of the other Congressional districts of Cook County. the Republicans are conceded the First, Second. Third and Ninth Districts, and Democratic victories are conceded in the Fourth. Fifth and Eighth Districts. The State delegation in Congress consists of eleven Republicans and eleven Dem ocrats. The Republicans claim that when the election is over they will have made a gain of at least eight Congressmen throughout the State.
 The Democrats say there is no possible chance of the Republicans gaining any more than two or three Congressmen. They claim that they will have at least twelve out of the twenty-five Congress men. who will form the next Illionis dele gation. In the fight for the State legis- iature which will elect United States Senator at its next session. the Republi- cans claim that including doubtful can didates they will have joint ballot 12i members of the legislature, while the Democrats assert that they will have 1o7 Democratic votes for the next Senator.
 While the Republican claims may be exaggerated, there seems to be every probability that they will control the next legislature and will elect the next United States Senator.

Washington, Nov. 1.-(special. )-An illustrious man of the world who re- ceived me late tonight, pade me say this: Tell The Montgome y Advertiser that I say Grover Cleveland is the greatest man in America, though I would not vote for him to save his life. This is the truth. and it may please The Ad- vertiser."
 This powerful tribute to the force of The Advertiser in the cause of honest government was called forth by an in quiry as to the present political outlook.
 Wise men in Washington estimate that MT. Cleveland's one speech in New Jer- sey has won 100000 votes for the Dem oerats in that State and New York and million votes in the Union. This is from purely Republican sources.
 Tonight Democrats are wildly exuber- ant as to the final result in New York and Pennsylvania, as well as the situa- ton regarding the legislative outcome in those states and in Indiana, Washing ton. Utah. North Dakota, California and Oregon. And they feel absolutely cer- tain of majority in the lower House of the 58th Congress. >- s-.
 The official Democratic claim as to Congress is that 199 Democrats and 14e Republicans are certain, with fl members in doubt. It will require 194 Democrats to organize the House. Counting Ala bamas nine members Democratic, the es- timate given me as to certain gains is as follows:
 Arkansas, i; California, 3, with more In the doubtful column; Colorado,I; Con- necticut, ?. with in the doubtful column; Delaware, 1; Florida, 1; Indiana, l, with doubtful; Iowa, and l in doubt; Kan sas ? and in doubt; Kentucky, 2; Lou isiana. l; Maryland, with ? in doubt; Massachusetts. 1 and 2 probable ones be- sides; Michigan, and 2 more probable; Minnesota, and l doubtful; Mississippi, l; Missouri, and in doubt; Nebraska, 2 and another probability; New Jersey. 1 with 2 possibilities besides; New York. with 5 more in the doubtful column: North Carolina 3; Ohio, 1 with more probabilities; Pennsylvania with 3 In doubt, Texas 3, Utah l, West Virginia and 2 in doubt, Wisconsin and an- other probability
 Private information to The Advertiser's s correspondent is that these estimates are most reasonable. This correspondent, having Republican sources of confidential information, concurs in this statement. IL seems extremely probable that the Democrats will carry the House.
 Even in Ohio and Illinois. the Repub- licans are in greatest doubt In answer to personal telegram from me to the most conspicuous Republican in Illinois. he answers at the moment of writing this dispatch: "I cannot tell"
 But, singularly enough, the greatest in- terest manifested in Washington is in the gubernatortal election in New York.
 The preponderance of belief here is that Coler will be defeated and that the Re- publicans will retain control of the House of Representatives. To this the best in- formation does not agree.
 To sum up the chances, so far as dispassionate observation goes. are that the Democrats will elect a majority of the next House and there is a possibility that Coler win be elected Governor of New York. There may be landslide to the Democrats. but landslides are beyond human calculation.
