THEY DO NOT LIKE US.
eturned Officer Says 1t Will Take Twenty
Years to Subjugate Filipinos.
An army officer in Washington who
as just returned from the Philippines
ives a very pessimistic view of the
ituation there. Asto the length of
he war he says: “We haye been
hece two years, and it will take at
ast twenty-two to subjugate the
slands. The navives do not like us one

ill ; this talk of the Tagal rebellicn,

lation was disturbed by our presence,
s somewhat inaccurate. None of the
ribe there is ‘aead in love' with us,
lthough the tolerance of timidity ex
sts in different degrees, naturally, in
ifferent parts of the archipelago and
mong different tribes.”” He express
§ the belief that the United States
ill sooner or later get out of the
“hilippines; that before another four
ears have passed the republican par-
J, assuming it to be retained in power,
vill devise plans for a ‘‘masterly re
reat.”

ASTONISHING LIBERALITY.
Boy Finds $5,000 and Receives as
a Rzward One Silver Quarter. ~
From the Philadelphia Times.
Henry Stumm, a brioht faced boy in
the employ of the Automobile Patent
Company of 27 William street, on Fri
day afternoon was walking up William
street on his way home when, at the
corner of John street, he saw a large
unsealed envelope lying in the gutter.
Picking it up, he found that its con
tents consisted of a statement of the
weekly pay roll of Stern Brothers, dia
mond merchants, of 69 Nassau street,
and their check for $3,000 drawn on
the National Park Bank.
Young Stumm hurried to the office
of the Stern Company. Mr. Goldsmith,
the manager, took the check and pat
ted young Stumm on the head affec
tionately.
“I am sure the firm will deal gener
ously with you,” he said. e wiil
bring the matter to their attention,
and you must come back in an hour for
your reward.
When Stumm returned to the office
of the ,diamond broker he found the
manager beaming with generosity.
“This little tribute comes from the
firm. We trust you will spend it ju
diciously,” said the manager, handing
young Stumm an envelepe.
Stumm opened it and there rolled
into the palm of his hand a bright,
shining silver quarter fresh from the
mint.

j ALL THE MONEY JONES WANTS.
| Offered the Democrats by the Pobinson
1 Syndicate.
The democratic national committee
need not worry any more about money,
{says a New York dispatch. It’sall
|fixed. Joseph A. Robertson of Mont-
I ery, Mexico, has promised to get them
all the money they want if that is all
| they need«to win out.
| Mr. Robertson is at the Waldorf.
He came on here to see ex-Governor
William J. Stone, who is running
things for the democrats. Last even
ing he saw him at the Hoffman House.
He was with the Missourian from 6
|o'clock until 8:30. ¢
When he came out he was asked if
his call had been social or political.
“Entirely political,” he said, in an
unusually undemoecratic way. ‘A
number of gentlemen of means, of
whom I am one, have heard of the cry
of the democratic committee that they
lack money to carry.on the campaign.
We have decided to put the committee
on its feet financially. If that is all,
we'll supply the deficiency and stop
the cry.”
Mr. -Robertson would not say who
the other gentlemen of means are.
Mr. Stone, later in the evcning, went
to the Waldorf and had another talk
with Mr. Robertson.
BRYAN A SHIRT WAIST MAN,
Nebraskan Gets Warm and Takes Off His
Coat During Speech.
A Wheeling, W. Va., dispatch says :
Bryan is a shirt waist man. During his
speech here last night he 2ot enthusi
astic and as he scored the McKinley
administration the perspiration began
to flow from his brow and he wiped it
off with his handkerchief frequently.
The hall was crowded to the doors and
the heat became intense. At the end
ot a great period Mr. Bryan stopped
short in his speech. He said:
“GGentlemen, it is too hot to wear a
coat, ] am going to join the shirt waist
brigade.”’
Thereupon the dernocratic leader
took off his coat and laid it on thetable
and adjusted his sleeveand cuff so that
he could gesticulate gracefully and re
sumed his speech.
Mr. Bryan was given an enthugiastic
reception here. He was greeted by
thousands of people at the depot and
his drive to the hotel was through a
great line of bonfires and fireworks,
and a toreh light procession was guick
ly formed. The democratic feader was
loudly cheered and his reception was
the most remarkable demonstration of
his present tour. It showed clearly
that the people are taking more inter
est in polities now and that Mr. Bryan
is immenselly popular here.
Why He Resigned.
A Pittsburg dispatch says that the
reason Mr. A. M. Moreland wished re
dently to resign his office as secretary
of the Carnegie Steel Company was tv
avoid the necessity of writifg his name
54,000 times. Theecompany has just
issued 54,000 bonds, worth $160,000,000.
Each of these bonds must be signed by
the secretary of the corporation. Mr.
Moreland viewed the job of signing
those bonds with decided displeasure,
and tried to shift the work upou a
clerk, but that would not do. Then he
tried to resign, but failed in that, and
finally had to tackle the big pile of
bonds. After he had been writing his
pname on them steadily for a week more
than half of the pile remained un
signed.

THE SLUSH FUND.
Hanna Has Raised Only 30 Per
Cent of What He Did in 1896.
Fgom the New York World. 4
Despite the urgent appeals made by
Senator Hanna to the business inter
ests of the large cities of the east for
'money with which to meet the ex
: penses of the republican national cam
paign, the total of the contributions
have amounted to only 30 per cent of
the total that had been received on
September Ist four years ago. |
Sevator Hanna and the other mem
bers of the republican national execu
tive committee have lost no opportuni
ty to warn business men that the pres
ent campaign would be no holiday af
fair., They hava declared that unless
| money was forthcoming to enable them
to put their plans into execution the
success of the democrafic ticket would
be wholly within the bounds of possi
bility. -
To these warnings the men who gave
freely to the republican fund in 1896
have, in many instances, turned a deaf
r. Nothing can induee them to be
gfleve that the country will run the risk
of impairing the prosperity which is
now aimost universal by indorsing the
platform adopted at Kansas City. They
suspect that Senator Hanna is exag
gerating the danger of the situation
in order to frighten them into coptrib
uting, and they do not intend to be
frightened. ‘
Senator Hanna has spent many after- ‘
noons down-town visiting the heads of
creat corporations and other men who
gave liberal checks four years ago. He ‘
has also visited Boston and Philadel
phia since he came east for the pur
pose of starting money-raising cam
paigns in those cities. He has suc
ceeded, however, in gathering togeth
er less than one-third of the sum that
he obtained by following the same
methods in 1896,
Owing to this apathy of contributors
the plans of the republican managers
hawve been crippled to some extent al
ready, and they fear that later the
need of money will be even more se
verely felt. Though they are disap
pointed by the failure of the business
men to repeat their liberality of 1896
they are deriving a grim satisfaction
from the thought that the men who
are so confident now are likely to have
,:} genuine fright before the campaign
is over.
The Maine Election,
The election in Maine was a disap
pointment to the republicans. It was
a greater disappointment to them than
the election in Vermont. In 1896 the
republican plurality was 48,377. This
year the returns indicate that it is
about 33,000—a falling otf of more than
15,000 votes. It seems tlat the dem
ocrats were more enthusiastic than the
republicans, or else many republicans
voted the democratic ticket. The truth
probably is that the republicans, not
being enthusiastic about the Philp
pine policy of the republican party,
many of them remained away from the
polls, while the democrats, heartily
approving the position of their party
in condemning the course that has
been pursued it respect to the Philip
pines, as a geperal rule voted.
