ES Tes, Hall Renominated by Acclamation. For Assembly— The Democratic congressional conferees from this, the 28th district, met in Ridgway on Wednesday evening last, and by accla- mation, without the formality of a hallot, made Hon. J. K. P. HALL the party nominee. Mr. E. T. GRANT, of Elk coun- ty, acted as chairman of the conference and Mr. MoRRris, of Clarion, and Mr. M. H. SHICK, of Forest, as secretaries. Messrs. A. J. GRAHAM, of Philipsburg; S. A. McQuisTioN, of Bellefonte, and Hon. R. M. FOSTER, of State College, were the conferees from this county. Each county was fully represented and a large number of Democrats, not officially connected with the conference, were present to.congratulate the Democracy and the candidate on the harmonious and auspicious opening of the congressional campaign. Mr. HALL has represented the district during the past two sessions of Congress and done it in a way that has met the warmest approval of his constituents gen- erally. While he was at all times mind- ful of the best interests of the people of the entire country he was particularly careful of the business and welfare of those of his own district. No request,no mattér how in- significant or unimportant it might be, from any one residing within the district: he represented, hut was promptly acknowl- edged and attended to by him. He was there, as he felt, to represent the people of this district and whether it was old sol- dier or civilian, man, woman or child, Democrat, Republican or Prohibitionist, who had any business beforé Congress or in any of the departments, Congressman HALL could always be depended upon to look af- ter it carefully and see that it was prompt- ly attended to. IF i It was not in his attention to small per: sonal matters in which his own people were interested that won him the reputation of being one of the most popular and efficient Congressmen the district has ever had, but his faithful fulfillment of every duty per- taining to the important position he occu- pied. His constant attention to public duties and his intelligent action on all public questions, put him to the front until ne Representative from this State, and bat few from any other State, enjoyed a more in- flnential or important personality in Con- gress than he did. "That Congressman HALL will be re-elect- ed by an overwhelming majority goes with- out question. His political opponents, for the sake of keeping their organization in tact, or for the purpose of satisfying the ambition of some fellow to have his name connected with a congressional nomination, may place a competitor in the field, but it will be without hope of success, or intent of making a serious contest. If the wish of the mass of the Republican voters of the district was heeded there would be no op- posing candidate nominated. and Mr. HALL would be returned to Congress by the una- mous vote of the.district. This may not he done, but he will be returned anyway and will have the smallest vote against him that was ever cast against a candidate in a i Lae Mark this prediction. =~ After the Celebration. The centennial celebration of Ceutre county has passed. Itis now part of history, just as are the events of the han- dred years that preceded it. The town has settled down again to normal condi- tions, the crowds, arches, columns and dec- orations are gone and we look back upon the two days with full satisfaction. It rained on Wednesday, rained hard and fast from half past five in the morning un- til eleven at night. Centre county were not responsible for the rain and the crowd took it as good natured- ly as the bright sunshine of Thursday morning. ; * Conservative estimates place the crowd in Bellefonte on Wednesday at twenty-five thousand and that of Thursday nearly as large. The great feature of gratification in all this is that not a single serious accident occurred and the only one that could be re- garded in that class was caused wholly by the condition of its victim, himself. Of course the town wascrowded. Crowd- ed until the stores were compelled to sus- pend business so that families could open their lunch baskets and eat their dinners on the counters and floors. Public build- ings and porches of private homes were jammed with similar parties, but the great But the people of arm of Bellefonte embraced it all in hospit- able fashion and the visitors went home pleased. ; F Naturally enough upon such a momen- tous occasion there is always more or less concern about the public safety and right here let it be said to the credit of burgess BLANCHARD that his police system was far and beyond anything that the commu- nity had expected. He is probably the youngest gentleman who has ever been in the position of highest honor and responsi- bility in a county seat at the time of its Centennial celebration and on that ground we heartily congratulate him on the digni- fied, efficient and representative manner in which he exercised the functions of his of- fice. The police system was splendid; from the mounted squad that did such in- valuable work in clearing the streets ahead of the’parades, down to the roundsmen who were on duty’ at all hours of the day and night and snapped up scores of unruly or helpless characters hefore they had time to precipitate disturbances or get injured. A patrol wagon was our ever present means of transport to the lock up and it became so evident early on the first day that order would be conserved at any cost that the in- fractions of law and decency were reduced to a minimum. Then the hospital that was temporarily fitted up in the Y. M. C. A. rooms served splendidly in several cases where strangers were taken suddenly ill and had a well ap- pointed place to be carried to, where the town’s best physicians were on duty gra- tuitously. Inall these things, that conserved so much to public safety and comfort on the two days, as well as the faithful attention to ‘bis official social duties burgess Blanchard far surpassed the expectations of even those who kuew his executive capacity best and Bellefonte has great reason to feel proud of her young official. The Centennial can in no wise be regarded as having had a single short coming. Every promise was fulfilled and today people are wondering just how so much was accom- plished ‘with the limited funds at hand. The answer ia readily found in the charac- ter of the men who had the great demon- stration in charge. They planned and exe- cuted the work of their various depart- ments with that faithful economy that has made them successful in their private busi- ness undertakings. Every detail was ar- ranged before band and when the eventful days dawned the work was complete. Some pick-pockets and confidence men were at work in the crowds, but so far as reports are in they reaped only asmall har- vest. The victims of their light fingered work, of course,are to be pitied, but the old Jesson has been taught so often that we are constrained to say that those who play with fire should not cry when they are burnt. Men who were robbed of large sums of money will probably never again carry valuables on their persons in such a jam, especially when there is no need of doing so. In resume, we have nothing but words of praise for all who in any way contributed to the success of the demonstration and we voice the sentiment of thousands when we say that it was a lasting credit to Centre county, the consummation of which far ex- ceeded-the-advance claims, ——————T Doubt Has Given Way. A Feeliny Akin to Certainty That Legations Are Safe. Were Certainly Alive July 22. Washington Officials Think the Attack Upon Them Will'not be Renewed. Gossip Relative to Onward Movement Chaffee to Judge for Himself. WASHINGTON, July 31.—Doubt bas giv- en way to a feeling akin to certainty that the legations at Pekin and the gallant marines, who managed to reach the Chinese capital just in the nick of time, were not only alive on July 22ud, but, in all prob- ability, are still alive and are likely to re- main so until they are released from their state of seige. The officials here feel certain that the attack by the Chinese on the legations will not be renewed. They are convicted that the counsels of the viceroys inthe gieat southern and central provinces and the ad- vice of Li Hung Chang have had effect and that whoever is in power, whether emper- or, empress, Ching, Tuan or Tung, now have been made to see the necessity for the preservation of the legations. The officials here, while anxious that the movement on Pekin beginat once donot attach much credence to the rumor mentioned by Gen- eral Chaffee that the forward march was to begin today. There are two reasous for this incredulity. In the first place, Chaf- fee’s force, his splendid cavalry and battery of artillery are exactly what is needed to strengthen a weak spot in the international column. In thesecond place (and infor- mation on-this point comes through Euro- pean channels), some of the foreign com- manders are still of opinion that they can- not begin the campaign before the last week in August at the earliest. The Unit- ed States government never has acceded to this view and is relaxing no effort to bring about a change of plans on this point. But our representations have been met by the almost unanimous view that the decision of this important movement probably should be left to the militury commanders on the spot, who must bear the responsibility for the outcome of the expedition. The kernel of just such a proposition is to be found in the last condition laid down by the President in his reply to the appeal of the Emperor Kwang Su and there may be a development in that direction speedily. Secretary Root says that nothing that has been received from China, either offi- cially or unofficially, necessitates any change in the instructions given Major General Chaffee. If there is an advance on Pekin, it is presumed that such of the United States forces as are now ready will participate in the movement. If dispatches are received at Tien Tsin from Minister Conger or others in the legations at Pekin, which change the existing conditions, Maj. General Chaffee will act in accordance with such information. The General hag full powers and has been entrusted with the command of the United States forces be- cause of the confidence the government has in his ability to meet any situation that may arise. : Loxpox, July 31.—6.10 p. m.—A spe- cial dispatch from Tien Tsin today says : “A Pekin message, dated July 21st, re- ports that the first outside news reached there Jus 266 gle failure of the relief expedition made t ge far more peril- ous.

Inhuman Slaughter of Natives, Offijers Act ns Jadges, Sheriffs and Executors. No Prisoners Wanted, and Suspevted Natives. Shot Without Trial. Deeds Done Under the Sanction of the Administration That Out- do in Atrocity the Acts of Weyler in Cuba. From the Regular Correspondent to the New York World. Hone KoNG, June 12.—While no proclamation has yet been issued declaring Fili- pinos in arms to be outlaws, the American troops are practicing in spots in the: Philippines a policy besides which a bandit law is a tame affair. ~The administration has decided the rebellion must be ‘‘kept down” and in spite of peace proclamations our soldiers here and there resort to horrible measures with the natives, Since the war was officially declared to be ended we have killed more Filipinos than the Spaniards did in both rebellions. Judges, sheriffs and executioners. If half a dozen natives, more or less, are shot on sus- picion of being our enemies no news of it reaches the Military Governor, who wants none. Publicly we are granting amnesty to prisoners. Publicly we are most liberal. Instead of executing our bandits in public plazas in the presence of the people we execute them whe e they are caught. That keeps the facts quniet—keeps the truth away from the people of the United States—which is considered justifiable because they ‘‘cannot understand the situation and its necessities.” If many actual occurrences were literally told, the people would refuse to believe that such barbarities take place under our flag. “I don’t want any more prisoners sent to Manila,”’ was a verbal order from the Gover- nor-General three months ago. That is the message passed along from the officers to the privates, and it has been interpreted in several ways. volunteer officers and men individually have. been guilty of deeds which when committed in Cuba by the Spaniards so inflamed the American people that they went to war to set Cuba free. CLIMATE BREEDS FEVER FOR KILLING. This class of officers does not include many regulars. This very point has led to some stirring scenes between officers whose professional training revolts against any cruelty and those of the other class. The bad class all got their “pull.” Outside of the field officers, who are generally regulars, the volunteer commissions were granted very largely to add to the patronage of the Administration. Regular officers say freely that the new volunteer regiments by no means represent the best of the National Guardsmen. The best returned to their civil occupations, where they could make more than $1,200 or $1,500 a year. Every one of these new volunteer officers has a score of friends at home who are using all their influence to ; help on the McKinley program of grafting the volunteer force, as it stands, into the regular army. When the ward boss chooses the man who is to wear the uniform of the United States in performing a task which requires such patience and ability as the one here, it is not surprising that there is a bad element among them. The tropical climate seems to breed a fever for carnage in the blood of some of these men. emt———" Some of them have not been the most industrious members of society at home. The exasperating work of chasing small bands of Ladrones leads them to shoot recklessly sometimes innocent natives. ol One of the first barbarities of this campaign was our treatment of the body of Pio del Pilar: This young man commanded the bodyguard which protected the retreat of Aguninaldo. He was of unusual intelligence and frequently said that when the rebellion was over and the Filipinos had won their independence he was going to ‘Cornell University to study under President Schurman. While defending a pass with a little body ‘of hid mien he was once wounded, but kept on directing the fight until he was killed. Less than a third of his company escaped alive. On his person we found a diary ip which he had jotted down some notes even while the fight was in progress. : “This 'is my last stand and I am going to do my best,” he wrote. All the valuables on his body were taken and he was stripped stark naked and left to lie in the road without the formality of a burial. : REVENGE FOR KILLING AMERICANS: Without any direct authority from Washington, withont any published orders calling for such conduct, it is now the custom to avenge the death of au American soldier by burning to the ground all the houses and killing. right and left, natives who are only ‘‘suspects.”’ : hs Ta When Lieut. Kiefer was ambushed and killed: and we sought in vain for the in- surrectos who were responsible for his death, the company rounded up a number of unruly male inhabitants and shot them without trial. The official report stated nothing of this. It said, as official reports always do when telling of such an instance, that the enemy had heen routed with great slaughter. Col. Howe ingeniously wondered why the natives did not return to their homes in Albany and Legaspi. For three weeks his pickets shot at every living thing that: came in range, whether or not it carried aris. Te To compel information as to where they have secreted their arms natives are often strung up by their thumbs or nooses are pat around their necks and they are par- tially strangled. In one instance where this was tried the native confessed that rifles were hidden in a certain house some miles distant. The soldiers searched the house, but did not even find a bolo knife. In: the mean: time they bad allowed the native to escape. FHI ? Since most of the Americans who were held as prisoners have been released, the = campaign has become one of no quarter on both sides. . As a result of the burning of barrios where ambuscades are attempted some of the localities where the people are : most bitterly opposed to us are scenes of devastation. There are almost as many natives in the field now with rifles as there were three months ago. . They are more cunning with their methods and are more treacherous. Recently 300 insurgents, attacked one of our garrisons, killing two men, in a town just across the bay from Manila. Any of Gen. Young's garrison could have ‘a fight any time they marched out of the tows they occnpied. oe TE (From an Official Dispatch.) : bya ra ; MANILA, July 26.—At Oroquieta, in Northern Mindanao, two American soldiers: entered a native store to buy food. While there one of thera was killed by a bolo man and his head severed from his body. The other escaped and gave the alarm. A company of the Fortieth Infantry, stationed at Cagayan, hastened to Oroquieta and Killed thirty-nine natives, thirty of them being in a single house. > © Subsequently the gunboat Callao, commanded by Lieat. George B. Bradshaw, shelled Orogquieta. burning the warehouses. One of the crew was killed.

This marks the collapse of the war in the northeastern portion of the Free State. General Dewet is at Reitz- burg, but it is known that his burghers are fighting ander compulsion. This was ad- mitted by his brother Peit Dewet, who managed to escape Christian Dewet’s eur- veillance and came in and surrendered. General French has occupied Pau station. The number of men in the various com- mandoes to the east is rapidly dwindling. The total number of men in Botha’s and the other commandoes is not believed now to exceed 6,000 men. These are scattered about at several points. The Boers still have one ‘‘Long Tom’” that is fit for ser- vice. The other one has heen damaged.
