FAREWELL DINNEa TO WRIGHT.


GovernOr-Genega1 Declares He Soon
VIII Return TO the PkiIfppfnen.
Manila. Oct 31.-The farewell BAN
quet to Governor Luke L. Wright was
attended by many army offlcers and
civilians and was one of the most pop
uiar demonstrations ever given to an
official of the islands. The Governor
was toasted by Americans, Engiishmen,
Spaniards and Filipinns. He was
cheered for ten minutes when he arose
to speak.
In his address, he gave credit to his
colleagues for the work that had been
accomplished. He said there never had
been personal differences between the
commissioners. From the FIRST, they
never had been conscious OF swefving
from the policy of President Mckinley.
He urged the people to prevent dis
cussions and work for the development
Of the islands. He said:
Whatever may be the utterances of
any American, however distinguished,
he speaks for himself alone. Congress
speaks for the people. In view of what
has been accomplished, may not the
most suspicious Filipino trust the Gov
ernmentr"
Governor Wright expressed faith in
the future of the archipelago and his
belief Is that Congress would act ia
vorably toward the islands. A declar-
alton, that he expected to return in a
few months was greeted with great
applause.
A public reception which will be ten
dered to Governor Wright and family
on Friday promises to eclipse any sim
liar even ever given here.

He was unwilling to remain In of
fee under a parliamentary government
and tonight presented his resignation,
which was accepted by the emperor
who, at the same time named MIN 70
the Senate, the resting place Of retired
statesmen. The following rescript ad-
dressed to M. Pobiedonostseff was pub
Iished late tonight:
constantine Petrovitch; yielding to
your desire, we have called you 70 tue
Senate and also desire you to continue
your activity as a member of the coun-
ell of the empire, but liberate you from
the functions of procurator OF the Holy
SYNOD and from member of the COM
mittee of ministers. Having been TOT
more than a quarter of century the
nearest collaboration with my grand
father nv father and myself in the
administration of the Orthodox Church.
YOU have acquired by esteem by your
exemplary capability and devotion TO
the throne. In divesting myself In
your person of the services OF states-
man. whose zeal and firm convictions
were ever highly appreciated by me, l
find it my sincere duty to express to
you my gratitude for your devoted SER
vices"

templated by Count Witte also was In
