FIGHT IN PHILIPPINES.

A force of 100 constabulary, under
Inspector Keithley, Monday defeated a
body of 200 insurgents near Mariquina,
small town seven miles from Manila
City, after severe engagement, in which
Inspector Harris and one man of the
constabulary were killed and two other
men of the constabulary were
wounded. The enemy left fifteen
dead and three wounded. Inspector
Harris's home was at Atlanta, Ga.
The body of insurgents formed the
main force of the irreconcilable Gen.
San Miguel. The constabular! were
divided into three detachments, which
were scouting in the Maraquina
Valley. The detachment commando by
Inspector Harris came upon the insur-
gents, who were in strongly intrenched
position. Inspector Harris fell at the
first volley, being hit five times. The
detachment of constabulary, although
outnumbered, held its position until In
spector Keithley, with the main force,
arrived, when the Filipinos were put to
rout. Their headquarters were captured
and burned, and the constabulary seized
the records of Gen. San Miguel, who
claims that he succeeded to the CON-
mand of the insurrectionary forces when
the other generals surrendered. He has
only a handful of men under him, and
his operations have been of no conse-
quence. The wounded Americans are
all severely injured.

Dover, Del. Feb. 10.-The elimina-
ton of J. Edward Addicks is the only
hope of the democrats in this State SO
far as the senatorial situation is concern

one regular and leave the other seat
vacant. The regulars have not yet been

any day. Former Senator Kenny has

THE ACTION of the finance committee
of the legislature in fixing the salary OF
the Superintendent Of the Central State
Hospital at Petersburg, an asylum for
the colored insane, at 81, 800, and that
of Dr. Benz. Blackford, Superintendent
of the Western Hospital at Staunton, at
% $50. is hard to understand, and is
consequently provoking no little criticism.
The duties of both officials are the same
and why one is to be paid $3.50 more
than the other should be explained by
the finance committee. DIR. Blackiord
is an earnest worker in the institution
he superintendent, and should certainly
command as much salary as others doing
similar work.

sent that it be stricken from the Record.

Most PEOPLE heartily approve of the
course of Captain BrOwnson in his deter
mination to stamp out hazing in every
form at the naval academy. Captain
Brownson's demand is that the unquali-
fed promise be made to stop all molesta-
ton of or interference with the members
of the lower class. The third class men
always take it upon themselves to "dis-
cipline" the lower class, and have so far
declined to say anything further than
that they were opposed to brutality. The
superintendent is not willing to accept
this, and is carrying out a policy in
tended to stop all hazing or running, "
which is supposed to mean light hazing,
but has been extremely severe in some
recent cases. Therefore deprivation OF
holiday, extra drills, &C., were the
penalties inflicted for hazing, but the
time seems to have come when ex-
pulsion should follow the obduracy OF
cadets who refuse to promise to behave
themselves. There are thousands OF
young men in different parts of the
country who would promptly take their
places and guarantee also to observe all
the rules of the naval academy. Ex-
amples should have been made of some
of the headstrong youths many years ago.

WAR MINISTER ANDRE has issued
an order iorbidding officers and en-
ployes of the French Ministry of War
to take part in the renewed Dreyfus dis
cussion. The order is not considered to
show that it is the purpose of the gov
eminent to suppress the facts in the
case, but that it wishes to prevent OH
GERS and Others from taking part in a
political agitation. This is a sensible
procedure on the part of the minister.
With wars and rumors of war and the
commissions and turmoils of the present
day it is hoped this vexed question may
not be reproduced. People have long
since taken one stand or another on the
Dreyfus case, and all the arguments
which could be brought pro or con will
amount to nothing. The affair has run
its course and has long since ceased to
arouse interest outside of France, while
even in that country most people are
thinking of other things.

WOMAN BRUTALLY AssAILED.-A
dispatch from Monongahela, Pa, says
that during last night an unknown man
forced his way into the telegraph tower
at Walton station, on the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston railroad, and
assailed Mrs. Wilson, the operator.
Mrs. Wilson shot the man, and this so
enraged him that he beat her almost in
to insensibility and then tried to burn
her to death by forcing her head into
the stove. Before he succeeded, how
ever, an arriving freight train frightened
him away, leaving his victim uncon-
scious. Mrs. Wilson is the wife of ex-
Mayor Wilson, of Monongahela. She is
handsome woman, aged 80 years, and
is regarded as fearless. Her condition
is critical. Early in the evening four
men made an attempt to break into the
tower, but they were frustrated by the
timely arrival of several railroaders. Ii
is thought Mrs. Wilson's assailant be-
longed to this party and the police ex-
pect to arrest him soon.

THE SPEECH made by Secretary Roo.
before the Union Leagne Club in New
York night or two ago, in which he
declared that the right of suffrage be-
slowed upon the negro had proved a
failure so far as the uplifting Of the race
is concerned, and that the negro problem
is one of the important questions to be
solved by the nation, is accepted In
Washington as an indication OF a change
of front upon the part ofthe admins
tration. 1t is not believed that the
President has in any manner changed
his views on the negrO's right to citizen
ship, but that methods heretofore en-
ployed by republican administrations to
indicate recognition of this right are no
longer adequate to preserve the privi-
Ieges granted him by the constitution,
in the face of increasing opposition on
the part of southern whites. Republl-
can members of Congress, as a rule, are
not inclined to discuss the matter.
Southern members regard Mr.. Roots
utterances as a confession that neither
the President nor the members OF his
Cabinet have Justly appreciated the race
question as it is presented to the southern
people, and are, therefore, disposed to
acknowledge that forcing of negroes in
t. federal offices cannot result in any
good. Representative Littleheld said
that, in his opinion, a blunder had been
made when suffrage had been bestowed
on the negroes without reference to their
qualifications for citizenship. There
could be no doubt, in Mr.. Littlefeld'
opinion, that suffrage had been failure
so far as the negro himselfis concerned,
inasmuch as it has not improved his con-
dition or increased his qualifications for
citizenship. 1t has taken therepublican
party about one-third of a century to
realize what was always glaringly APP
parent to the white people Of the South.
