BIG POPS,
Os Tennessee Quit the Party
and Pledged to
SUPPORT |Wlk.R|l.

Nashville, Tennessee, lugust
19 —When the populist state
executive committee met yester
day to complete its organization,
a surprise was sprung in the
shape of the resignation of three
members, which left the com
mittee without a q mum, and
the committee aeju.irned until
September.
The members resigning are J.
H. McDowell, W. J. Flatt and
T. J. Ogilvie, and in a letter
jointly signed, they say :
“Realizing the impossibility
of bringing about the returns
forvjWhich we have heretofore
labor*d, with the party in its
present disintegrated and disaf
fected condition,and having de
termined to support Hon. Ben
ton McMillin for governor of
Tennessee, we feel that the
honorable ’pursue is
first m resign, and we hereby
tender to you our resignations.”
Mr. J. 11. McDowell, w’no has
been the most influ nitial popu
list in Tennessee since the p ir
ty’s organiz ition, is one of Ten
nessee’s members of the nation
al people’s party committee,
says in explanation :
"The Populist party has ab
solutely n ) hope, because of the
disintegration of its state and
national organiza'ion. The dem
ocrats have nominated a man
for governor in whom we have
confidence. Roth his moral and
political character are above
reproach. Just what he says we
believe he will do. We believe
his pledges of reform will be
carried out,and have the utmost
confidence in his ability and
integrity.
‘‘While always vigorously
opposing the Populists, he had
treated us courteously, and never
abused us. Mr. McMillin could
have been nominated for gov
ernor at the time Buchanan was
nominated if he had consented
t" run. He was offered the
■nominat on by those of us who
afterwards named Buchanan
you see Mr. McMillin was
our choice eight veirs ago: I
do not think Richardson, for
governor will get over 2,000 or
votes if he stays on the
track.”

IN PHILIPPINE GROUP.
Are Ours, Outside The Famous
Protocol.
Washington, Aug. 19.—The
war department has made public
the dispatch cf Gen. Merritt,
giving the official story of Ma
nila’s fall, and also the text of
the significant instructions sent
Gen. Merritt yesterday requiring
the insurgents and all others to
recognize the authority of the
United States in the territory
occupied by our forces. Tliesa
dispatches were about the only
positive development of the day.
Nothing had been heard from
Gen. Merritt as to the casualties
last Saturday except that he es
timaten the killed and wounded
at fifty.
Another point on, which the
officials are without definite in
formation information is as to
the extent of our present autjior
it v m the Philippines. Under tne,
pu.ice protocol,.cue United.Stites :
was given the occupation of
Manila, with bay and harbor,
until a permanent disposition of
the Philippine question was
reached.
But according to press dis
patches, which tire, however, so
circumstantial as to be credited l
in most official quarters, Gen
Merritt and Admiral Dewey re
ceived the capitulation of the
entire Philippine archipelago.
There appears to be some
doubt, therefore, even* among
officials, as to whether our pres
ent authority and jurisdiction
covers Manlia only, as provided
by the pea o e protocol, or covers
all the Philippines. There is a)
disposition to await fuller official
information before laying down
a policy as the extent of our
jurisdiction in the islands.
Secretary Alger said today
that he hid heard no thing offi
cial of the surrender of the
entire Philippine group. At the
same time the secretary did not
discredit the accuracy of the j
press advices stating that the)
capitulation had this far reach
ing effect.
Pending more definite in for
mation, tne attitude of the ofli
cials is to assuma that our
authority covers Manila city,
Manila bay and harbor, and also
reaches other territy as may be
occupied by the military and
naval forces. The latter phrase
is elastic enough to cover any or
al! of the Philippine islands that
may have b?en brought under
our authority by the recent sur
render.
The instructions sent to Gen.
Merritt have in view the expan
sion of our possessions, based on
thS ter in mentioned in the,
protocol, as they distinctly state'
that this government is in pos
ssssion of Manila and that its
authority to preserve peace and
order will be exerted “within
the territ >ry occupied by their
military and naval forces.”
The cabinet meeting tomorrow
is expected to deal with the
