THEY WANT TO ANNEX
Federals in the Philippines Ask
Territorial Rights.
Only Two Out of Sixty Provinces
and Districts Are in a State
of Revolution.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The memorial
OF the federal party of the Philippine
islands was transmitted to the SEN
ate this evening by the secretary of war.
together with letter of transmittaI by
Governor Taft, in whose charge the doe
ument was given. The memorial was
adopted at an extraordinary session of
the federal party held in Manila in No
vember. 1t sets forth that the perform
ance OF that obligation of the treaty of
Paris which gave the United States con.
grees authority to fix the status of the
Philippine islands had been deferred to
this time because of the attack of the
tlllplnos upon the sovereignty, an act
brought, the memorial says, through q
misunderstanding and not through
hatred OF the American sovereignty.
IL further states that out of the 60
provinces and districts war exists in
only two-Batangas and Samar. 1t al
so asserts that it is a demonstrated fact
that the pueblOs, or towns, anxiously
desire "a definite civil rule" and saw
that those who are still in arms alIege
that there is lack of civil regime.

Indians Claim Indiana Lands

Chicago, Feb. ia fight to regain
36 sections of land in Indiana has been
begun by the Miami Indian nation. The
land is situated in Grant, Miami and
Wabash counties, Indiana, and Mercer
county, Ohio, and came into the DOS.
session of the tribe by treaty with the
government. This treaty is said to
have specified that the land should not
be taxed and that it could not be sold,
except by consent OF the government.
Despite this fact, it is claimed that much
OF the land passed to other hands for
nOnpayment OF taxes, and a great deal
OF the remainder was lost by the Indians
through their ignorance. A mass meet
ing of the Miami nation, numbering
about 45O persons, was recently held at
Marion, Ind. 1t was resolved to fight
for the land and lawyers have been re-
tanned to take immediate steps.

den and Sophia Barth Chapman in their
action to prevent the Northern Securi.
ties company from securing the stock OF
the Great Northern railroad. The suit
was brought III the district court of Hen

TERED to the Ramsey county district
court last Monday.
1t Is cOntended in the answer that the

as formerly, managed, operated and con
trolled by that cOmpany's officers and
directors independently of other corpor
atiOns and railway systems.
Regarding the relation of the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago
Burlington L Quincy railroads to each
other, the defendants answer is as fol
lows:
They admit that the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern are parallel and
competing lines. They deny that the
lines of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad system and the lines of the
Great Northern or Northern Pacific were
or are parallel lines. 1t is admitted that
corporation designated as the Nor
thern Securities company was organ
lzed in November for the purposes stated
IN it's articles of Incorporation only and
no others.
The assertion in the complaint that
the object of the Northern Securities
company was the absolute withdrawal
OF the stock representing the controlling
interests and vesting it in the
Northern Securities company, with a
view OF perpetuating a combination OF
systems and placing the entire manage
ment and control in a central body is
denied in every detail and particular.
The defendants admit that after organ
izatiOn of the Northern Securities com
pany an offer was made to purchase
stocks of the Great Northern company
at $3.50 per share and of the Northern
Pacific company at $115 per share, and
that it has purchased under those terms
a majority of the latter company's
stock.
1t is admitted that the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern companies have
at all times kept and still keep up separ-
ate corporate organizations. The de-
fendants say that the corporations and
managing boards are wholly indepen-
dent of each other and that each of the
companies, it's affairs and systems OF
railroad have always been and are now
managed, controlled and opera ted indie
pendently of the other said companies,
its affairs and systems.

Fastest Boat In the World.

The submarine boat recently built for
the Russian government is supposed to
be the fastest in the world. 1t il claimed
that it will cross the Atlantic ocean in
two and one-half days. The secret Of
it's extraordinary speed lies in its pecu-
liar construction. The secret OF the
marvellous success OF Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters lies in the scientific com
pounding of the curative properties of
certain roots and herbs. 1t is family
medicine and can be relied on in cases Of
belching, fatulency, sick-headache, dizzi-
ness, indigestion and dyspepsia. 1t is
also an excellent appetizer and nerve
strengthener, and as a preventive of
malaria, fever and ague it is unequalled.
Give it a trial, and you will feel its
beneficial effects from the start.

Splendid Sermon in Edenton Street Church
Sunday Morning.

The Red men of Occoneechee and
Osceola Tribes turned out 116 strong to
hear Rev. George F. Smith in the Eden
ton Street Methodist church Sunday
morning. The front seats had been re-
served for the tribesmen, and it was to
them especially that Mr.. Smith preached
a strong. practical sermon on 1.-THE King
ship of Self-Control." He pointed out
that all mans powers of mind and
body were blessings bestowed by his
Creator and were not to be abused but
consecrated to the service of God. The
only safe and wise course, he said, was
to submit your life and all it's strength
to Christ and live under his direction.
There was a special quartet song by
the choir, Emanuel" and trombone

H. and B. BEERS MARKET LETTER

Especial to the News and Observer
New Orleans, La, June 17.-Liverpool
advices were disappointing, consequent
ly our market opened to points low
er, subsequently declined SO to ii addi-
tional on reports of rain in several points
of Texas and Arkansas and the afct that
the weekly weather report was more ia
vorable than expected. The net loss on
the day was 10 points on July and 10 tolls
on the other months. The weekly
weather report summary was as follows:
"Over the northern portion of the west
ern and central district and generally
throughout the eastern portions of the
belt, cotton has experienced generally
favorable conditions although lice are
causing injury in portions of South
Carolina and Georgia. Over the south
ern portion of the central district and
throughout Texas the crop has made
slow growth. Lice infest many fields in
Mississippi and Louisiana and rain is
now generally needed in these sections,
especially in Texas, where, howevr, de-
spite adverse conditions the crop is hold
ing on we'll, and the reports of lice and
boil weevil are diminishing The crop
is generally we'll cultivated throughout
the cotton belt"
The government reported showers over
Oklahoma, otherwise generally fair
weather prevails over the cotton region.
Rains today were reported from Guthrie,
Oklahoma, Fort Smith, Little Rock and
Hope, Arkansas, and Sherman, Bonham
anr Paris, Texas. The fear that these
rains would extend generally over
Texas caused the easiness prevalent, but
unless they soon materialize the chances
are reaction will be in order Spin
ners continue apathetic and although
spots locally were officially quoted Il
down, we are informed that traders were
made on a still lower basis. The inter-
est is in the new crop months and the
market will as before be regulated prin-
cipally by the daily weather conditions
