IV .vsiitNgton, Nov. 13.—In addition to the points said to be agreed upon at L'Mug as a basis for .settlement with China, as announced in cable dispatches, ' ir ’> understood that several other points : tire likely to receive attention when the ! matter is taken up with the Chinese on- ; voys. One of these is as to making the city j of Peking an “open port,” for while it j is noron the seacoast the purpose is to extend to ir. that freedom of commerce and intercourse with foreigners which now applies only to those open ports designated by treaties with China. Thu suggestion that this action he taken was umilc in high Chinese quarters and its advisability is urged because Peking, as the capital of the Chinese empire, is the tv utvT of influence throughout the coun try. Another point which may be proposed is that capital punishment by beheading or otherwise shall not occur in future by imperial edict alone, but only after a trial such ns is given in civilized coun t-lie accused having an opportunity . heard. * This does not apply to the j alles of Brazil to the president cf Ar gentina has been productive of an agree able understanding by which these two powerful republics of the south are likely to exert their united influences ! toward the pacific adjustment of some j of the perplexing questions which have ! disturbed their neighboring republics. One of these concerns the coast line ' of Bolivia. At one time Bolivia was | possessed of a considerable ocean front with some good harbors, but as a result of warfare Chili took possession of all . Bolivia’s coast line, leaving that coun try without access to the sea and hemmed iu on all sides by opposing forces. It is believed that Bolivia’s plight has been taken into consideration by., the presidents of Brazil and Argen tina and that without any recourse to arbitrating means they will induce Chili to grant Bolivia at least some part of her coast line. Owing to the strong bonds between these two nations and Chili, it is felt that Chili will he dis posed to grant every just desire for the rehabilitation of Bolivia. Simpson Case Reopened.

Statement as to the Mail Service in the Philippines. Washington, Nov. 13.—F. W. Vaile, director general of posts in the Philip pine islands, in his annual report to the postmaster general, shows a surplus of $19,618 to tho credit of the Philippine postal service. The revenue to June 30 last was $117,848 and the expenditures $98,220, making both years of the de partment’s existence show a surplus. Decided progress has been made in open ing posroffices.

Thirty-seven other offices are in charge of army officials for the sale of stamps and the handling of registered matter. Tests Highly Satisfactory.

I did not come up to Decatur to hear any of the returns Tuesday night, I do uot like to go to funerals, and I felt that the Dem ocratic party’s funeral was being held. I felt it and knew that McKinley would be overwhelmingly re-elected. I could have told our people so six months ago, but what would have been the use. When I received the telegram calling me to the Eighth district, I told my family that I felt like I had received orders to go to the rescue of a sinking ship, but that I must obey the call of my party, which had honored me with ten terms in congress tyid must go aboard the old ship aud go down with her. I told our party leaders in 1898 that if one word was inserted in oar platform against the honor of cur coun try’s flag it would result in the Demo cratic party's utter annihilation at the polls. I was opposed by Bailey of Texas and he prevailed.” Continuing iu this strain, the general said: There are two things the American ; first, is their God, aud flag. A word against either will bring down their condemna tion. There never was a president de sympathy and the question of who would feated for re-election who had condnct- succeed him in case of his death, at this e q a successful.war. Wars are popular time, is a matter of considerable auxiety throughout the state. Lawyers differ widely as to this. Some contend that Governor Johnson would hold over for two years longer. Others insist that the president of the senate, who will be chosen when the body meets next week, would succeed as governor. in this country aud are growing more so with the masses, and any party that op poses a successful war president will meet with defeat.” H.
