too low and assessed them at SIO,OOO

valuations, divided the line, placing a dif
ferent value on each of three divisions.
From Savannah to Waycroaa and from
Waycroas to Dupont they valued It at sl tf .-

and from Waycroaa to the state line they
valued the road at S9.MO a mile The re
turns of side track, real estate and per
sonal property on the foregoing lines were
satisfactory and were accepted. The
Brunswick and Western dlilslon of the
Plant System waa returned by the arbi

properties not at dispute. In some cases

Of coprse the return having been formally
presented to this office and accepted, the
awards by the arbitrators ore not binding

•There la a difference between the val

to the state, and the values fixed by the
arbitrators in the main track of the main
line from Savannah to Balnhrtdge. the
rosin track of the Waycross branch, the
mam track of the Brunswick and West
ern division, and the main and side track
of the Oharieaton and Savannah division.
Ey reason or the same misapprehension,
notwithstanding there was no dispute, the
arbltratora reduced the valuation on the
aide track of the three flrst mentioned
lines to $2,000 a mile In the case of the
ffavannah. Florida and Western, this re
duction was from $5,561, In the case of the
Waycroas branch, from $7 AM, nnd the
Brunswick and Western from (1.500. None
of these were In dispute. The returns

closed.

turns of the railroad leaving out the line*

of tho arbitrators In the cases where
there was no dispute as well as In the
eases where they were called upon lo

Valdosta. <Ja.. Sept. 29 —The report from
the Philippine Island*, giving an Indefinite
account of tho capture of Company K,
of the Twenty-ninth Regiment, caused a
great deal of anxiety here, as a half a

From m letter received here recently by
the iwrents of • 'orpi. Williams. It Is
learned that the company went from Ma
nila to Baiun Cruz. Marndugue Island,
about the first of June, and carried six
months' ralkms tvlth them. Tho Island
Is said to have 30.000 people, and the city
of Santa Crux nbotit 15.000. C'orpl. Will
iams slated Hint two companim of Amer
ican soldier* were on the Island, the
other being located at Boaque. which t*
about fifteen mile* from R.inta Crux. It
was estimated that there were three hun
dred armed Insurgimts on the island, hut
the American* hod seen none at the time
of the writing. Corpi. Williams gnve In
his letter the details of a trip which the
• ompany hsd made up through the moun
tain* tn search of Filipino*, but when
about eight miles out. Capt- Rbleats be
came sick and the entire crowd returned
to camps. He says that the roads there
were the roughest .the soldiers bud ever
encountered, and that over the mountains
they were often crawling on their all
fours to keej> from f.dHng down the rough
place*.
C'orpl Williams stated that another trip
was planned for the first fair night, and
that they had learned that they would
encounter two hundred Filipinos, well
• entrenched. It Is probable that this Is
the trip which resulted in their capture.
It hoped here that more definite reports
will bring tidings of safety for the Val

audience that crowded the Coliseum, built
to seat 12,(10 persons.
The speech was under the auspices of

ed thousands, who were unable to enter
the auditorium TBo rrurh at the doors
when Mr. Cockran accompanied by May
or Harrison and others arrived, was so
great that scored of men and women
fainted, and both Mr. Cockran and Chi
cago s executive were Jostled and half
suffocated. United States Renator Jones
and his wife were caught In the throng,
and only by heroic efforts was Mr*. Jones
rescued from Injury.
Mayor llarriron Introduced Mr. Cock
ran who Immediately began an attack on
the expansionist policy of the govern
ment. He said:
"Slated In Ita very narrowest compass,
the Issue before the American people Is
the right of this govrromeni to seixe dis
tant territory an,l govern It against the
will of Its Inhabitants, not under our con
stitutional government, but through ofltce
holdera to be named by the President who
will administer their functions outside the
const Itu lion and Independently of Its
limit*. Upon the one side the Republicans
contend that Inasmuch as the extra con
stitutional powers are to be exercised out
side the United State*, Imperialism, so
far as thin country Is concerned Is n,t
an Issue of this campaign and they go
on to gay that even If It were dangerous
they would still he Itound to vote for It.
because to defeat It by the election of
the Democratic candidates would be to
bring about a money panic nnd that would
be too great a price to pay for the_se
curlty of Democratic Institutions. Now.
to that the Democrat* answer th.it such
a policy would be a violation of the prtn
dples Hint government tlerlves Its Just
powrrn from the consent of the governed,
ami that It would he Infamous to repudi
ate In our hour of strength the principle
which we invoked In our hour of weak
ness. They contend further that desfs>-
tlc or arbitrary powers cannot be confide,l
to officers of a republican govrrnment
without endangering tho Integrity of
Democratic Institutions. Thetr preserve
tlon cannot endanger prorperty. but must
contribute to its permanence and to 'ts
growth.
What Imperialism Is.
"Imperialism is not expansion and the
carrying of our political system Into new
country. it I* the ererslon In distant
lands by this government of another gov
ernment wholly distinct from it and rad
ically different from it and. therefore, Ir
responsibly hostile to It.
"It mean* armies must be put In the
fields and that American llvs* must be
sacrificed and the lives of helpless people
must !>• destroyed, and If the resistance
be subdued now. their resentment will be
undying Resentment will seek opportu
nities and expression tn the future. As
the man who Injured another expect* re
venge even when none Is planned, so the
alien foreign government which has
robbed the peopb-rof Its birthright of lib
erty constantly fear* resistance even
when none I* planned and then must
make preparation all the time for conflicts
in the field to Insure the safely
of Its own etttgena. To think that such a
system should ever have been submitted
to the American people and attempted to
be Justified by th purchas of Louisiana is
perhaps the most extraordinary Incident
in our history.
'•outside of the naked fact that Jeffer
son !<k territory and that Mr. McKinley
Is trying to take territory, there Is no
resemblance between tho two policies On
the rontrgry In every element that distin
guishes them there ls a radical and Irre
concilable difference. Jefferson took terri
tory to avoid war McKinley Is making
war to lake territory. Jefferson took con
tiguous territory to do Justice and avoid
the provo, ailons of war In the future.
McKinley I* taking u*ei* and remote
territory, which. If he succeeds In subdu
ing. will cause future contest* without
number Jrfferscn took territory to Incor
porate tt Into the t'nl >n of states. Mc-
Kinley is s txlng territory not to expand
our constitutional government over It. but
to turn It ovrr to officeholders to be ex
ploited and plundered by syndicate* and
lavorltes."
Why Not Take China, Tnof
Mr. Cockran ridiculed the various ar
gument* of the RepubHcan on tors upon
th* Philippine question, and *atd If It
were profitable to take the Phllpplne*.
It would be equally profitable to annex
China. > _ ,
It wua nearly midnight when Mr. Cock
ran concluded After reviewing th* ef
fort* of the Boer envoy* to obtain recog
nition at the hand* of the government,
he eatd. referring to the relation* of this
administration with the English govern
ment;
"There wa* not an alliance. That
would not be the proper way to describe
It. It wa* a surrender of this government
to the control of the British foreign of
fice."
He maintained that tf the gold stand
ard Is not secure now It can never b*
made secure by the election of Repub
licans.
In • oncluslon Mr. Co-kran said;
"I liave no itoubt how this campaign
will end. I nee on every side the proof
that Jurtbe will triumph now as It ha*
alwayw triumphed In this i-ountry. I can
not believe Ihtl s republic' Is In danger
that Is built upon all the virtue which
