Sept. 10.-William McKlnley, president of the Vnlted , tutee, as made pnbllc his letter ac cepting the renomlnatlon on th Kepub Ucan national tlckot. The president de--lam unqualified! for the (told standard ind prophesies Its approral bj the voters it the polli In the coming; election. He ilio consider the tariff question, the aoer-Brltlsh war and the isthmian rway. Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil ppinea are likewise dealt with. Referring to the currency issue, he says: "While regretting the reopening of this auestion, which can only disturb the resent satisfactory financial condition of Che government and visit uncertainty up o oar great business enterprises, we ac cept the Issue and again invite the sound soney forces to Join in winning another 2nd we hope a permanent triumph for an honest Daanclal system which will con tinue Inviolable th, public faith." ' Concerning the tariff he says the fol lowing: "The Republican party remain fslta fnl to It principle of a tariff which sup flies sufficient revenues for the govern aent and adequate protection to our en terprises and producers and of reciproci ty which open foreign markets to the Iruits of American labor and furnishes ftew channels through which to market 0km snrplns of Americas farms. The time feoaored principle of protection and reci procity were the first pledges of Repub lican victory to be written Into public taw. "In the unfortunate contest between reat Britain and the Boer state of outh Africa the United States has .Maintained an attitude of neutrality la accordance with he well known tradl atonal policy. It did not hesitate, how jever, when requested by the governments mt the South African republics to eier )Me Its good offices for a cessation of hos tilities. It I to be observed that while be South African republlea made like re- aesta of other powers the United State toe only one which complied. The Irltlstt government declined to accent It Intervention af any power. "A subject of Immediate Importance to fir country Is the completion of a great aterway of commerce between the At ntio and Pacific. The construction of maritime eaaal Is now more than ever Indispensable to that intimate and ready anmmnnieatioa between oar eastern and .treetera seaports demanded by the an iesatiea of th Hawaiian Island and the eapaaaion of our Influence and trade In the Pacific. , "We have been la possession of CJba alaot the 1st of January, 1S99. We have Iestored order and eatahliahed domestic reaqnlllity. W have fed the starving. Clothed th naked and ministered to the flea:. Wa have Improved the sanitary deadltioa af th Island. W have stimu lated ladastry. Introduced public edaca flea and takes a fall and comprehensive numeration of the Inhabitant. The ajoallfleation of elector haa been aettled, aad under It officer have been chosen for all the municipalities of Cuba. These local government are now In operation, administered by the people. Our mili tary establishment ha been reduced from 48,000 to lee than 6,000. An election ' has been ordered to be held on the 15th I af September nader a fair election law already tried In the municipal elections ! to choose members of a constitutional convention, and the convention In the i aaine order is to assemble on the first Monday of November to frame a consti tution upon which an Independent gov ernment for the Island will rest. All this la a long step la the fulfillment of our sa cred guarantees to the people of Cuba. "We hold Porto Rico by the same title as the Philippines. The treaty of peace which ceded as the one conveyed to us the other. Congress has given to this is land a government In which the Inhabit ants participate, elect their own legisla ture, enact their own laws, provide their own system of taxation and in these re spects have the same power and privi leges enjoyed by other territories be longing to the United Statea and a much larger measure of self government than was given to the inhabitanta of Louisi ana under Jefferson." Referring to the Philippines be says: "Every effort has been directed to their peace and prosperity, their advancement and well being, not for our uggraudize meiit nor for pride of might, not for trade r commerce, not for exploitation, but for humanity and civilization and fur the protection of the vast majority of the population, who welcome our sovereign ty against the designing minority, whose first demand mttuv thu Burrom!., ,f f,i Blla by the Spanish army was to enter ! the city that they miKbt loot it and d" troy those not in sympathy with their selfish and treacherous designs. "Nobody who will avail himself of the facts will longer hold that there was any alliance between ouf soldiers and the in surgents or that any promise of independ ence was made to them. Long before their leader had reached Manila they hud resolved If the commander of the Amer ican navy would give them arms wltu which to fight the Spanish army they would later turn upou us, which they did murderously and without the xliudow of cause or justification. There may be those without the means of full Informa tion who believe Unit we were iu ulli ance with the insurgent and that we as sured them that they should bavo Inde pendence. To such let me repent the facts. On the 20th of May, lsiiS, Ad miral Dewey was instructed by me to make no alliance with any party or fac tion in the Philippines thut would Incur liability to maintain their cuuue in the future, and ho replied under date of June 6, 1SUH: 'Have ucted according to spirit ef department's instruction from the be ginning, aud I have entered into no al liance with the insurgents or with any faction. Trnis squadron con reduce the defenses of Manila ut uny moment, but it is conaldurud useless until the arrival of uliiclent United States forces to retain possession,' "In the report of the first Philippine commission, submitted on Nov. 2, 1801), Admiral Dewey, one of its members! said, "No alliance of any kind was euter ed Into with Aguinaldo, nor wus uny promise of independence made to biui at auy time.' "General Merrltt arrived in the Philip. pines on July 23, 'R98, and a dispatch from Admiral Dewey to the government at Washington said. 'Merrltt arrived yes terday, ftttuatlon is most critical at Ma nila. The Spanish may surrender at any moment. Merrltt' most difficult problem will be how to deal with th Insurgents under Aguinaldo, who have become ag gressive and even threatening toward our army.' Here is revealed the spirit of the insurgents a early a July, 18!8. before the protocol was signed, while we were still engaged In actire war with Spain, Kvrn then the insurgents were threaten ing our army. "On Aug, 13 Manila was captured, and of this and subsequent events the Philip pine commission says: "When the city of Manila was taken, Aug. 13, the Filipinos took no part In the attack, but came fol lowing In with a view to looting the city and were only prevented from doing so by our forces preventing them from en tering. Aguinaldo claimed that he had the right to occupy the city. He demand ed of General Merrltt the palace of Ma lacanan for himself and the cession of all the churches of Manila, also that a part of the money taken from the Spaniard as spoil of war should be given up and above all that he should be given the arms of the Spanish prisoner. All these demands were refused. "Generals Merrltt, Oreene end Ander son, who were la command at the begin ning of our occupation and until the sur render of Manila, stste that there was no alliance with the Insurgents and no prom ise to them of independence. On Aug. 17, 1S9S, General Merritt wa Instructed that there must be no Joint occupation of Manila with the insurgents. General Anderson under date of Feb. 10, 1W, ssys that he was present at the Interview between Admiral Dewey and the insur gent lesder and that in this Interview Admiral Dewey made no promises what ever. He adds: 'He (Aguinaldo) asked me If my gorerameat was going to recog nise his government. I answered that I was there simply in a military capacity, that I could not acknowledge his govern ment because I had no authority to do so.' "Would not our adversarlea have seat Dewey's fleet to Manila to capture and destroy the Spanish sea power there, or, dispatching It there, would they have withdrawn It after the destruction of the Spanish fleet, and If the latter, whither would they have directed it to sail? Where could It have gone? What port In the orient was open to It? Do our adversaries condemn the expedition un der the command of General Merritt to strengthen Dewey in the distant ocean and assist In our triumph over Spain, with which natvm we were at war? Was It not our highest duty to strike Spain at very vulnerable point, that the war might be successfully concluded at the earliest practicable moment? "And was It not our duty to protect the lives and property of those who came within our control by the fortunes of war? Could we bava come away at any time between May 1, 1898, and the conclusion of peace without a stain upon oar good name? "Could we have come away without dishonor at any time after the ratifica tion of the peace treaty by the senate of the United States? "There haa been as time since the de struction of the enemy's fleet when we could or should have left the Philippine archipelago. After th treaty of peace was ratified no power but congress could surrender our sovereignty or alienate a foot of the territory thus acquired. The congress has not seen fit to do th one or the other, and the president had no authority to do either If he had been so Inclined, which he was not. So long as the aovereignty remains la us It Is the duty of the executive, whoever he may be, to uphold that sovereignty and If it be attacked to suppress its assailants. iWould our political adversaries do less? it has been asserted that there would have been no fighting In the Philippines if congress had declared its purpose to give Independence to the Tagal insur gents. The insurgents did not wait for th action of congress. They assumed the offensive. They opened fire on our army. Those who assert our responsi bility for the beginning of the conflict have forgotten that before the treaty wa ratified in the senate and while it was being debated In that body and while the Bacon resolution was under discussion on Feb. 4, INOtt, the Insurgents attacked the American army after being previous ly advised that the American forces were under orders not to fire upon them except in defense. The paper found in the re cently captured archives of the insur gents demonstrate that this attack had been carefully plunned for weeks before it occurred. Their uuprovoked assault upon our soldiers at a time when the sen ate was deliberating upon the treaty shows that no action on our part except surrender and abandonment would havo prevented the fighting und leaves no doubt in any fair mind of where the re sponsibility rests for the shedding of Americuu blood."

THE COLUMBIAN, DEATH LIST GROWS. Every Hour Brings News of Fresh Horrors From Texas. CORPSES USE GALVESTOH STREETS The Cltv Is Still flooded Vessels Blown Far Defend Hlh Water Mark Whole families Are Wiped Ont of Kalsteaee. HOUSTON, Sept. 12.-Richard Spll lane, a well known Galveston newspa per man, who reached Houston after a terrible experience, gives the following account of th disaster at Galveston: "The city is In ruins, and the dead will number probably 5,000. I am just from th city, having been commissioned by the mayor and citisena' committee to get in touch with tiie outside world and appeal for help. Houston waa the near est point at which working telegraph lastruments could be found, the wires aa well as nesrly all the building between here and the gulf of Mexico being wrecked. "When I left Oalveaton, the people were organising for the prompt burial of the dead, distribution of food and all nec essary work after a period of disaster. "The wreck of Galveston ws brotight about by a tempest so terrible that no words can adequately describe its In tensity and by a flood which turned the city into a raging sea. Th weather buresu records show that th wind at tained a velocity of 84 miles an hour when th measuring Instrument blew away, so It Is impossible to tell what was the maximum. The storm began at 2 o'clock Saturday morning. Previous to that a great storm had been raging In the gulf, and the tide was very high. The wind at tret came from the north aad was la direct opposition to the force from the gulf. While the storm In the gulf piled the water ap ot the beach aide of the city the north wind piled the wa ter from the bay oa to the bay part of the city. "About noon It became evident that the city was going to be visited with disas ter. Hundreds of residence along the beach front were hurriedly abandoned, the famllle fleeing to dwelling In high er portion ef the city. Every home wa opened to the refugees, black or white. The winds were rising constantly, and It rained In torrents. The wind was so fierce that the rain cat Ilk a knife. "By 8 o'clock th waters of th bay ad gnU met, and by dark the entire city waa submerged. Th flooding of th elec tric light plant and the gas plant left th city In darkness. To go upon th streets waa to court death. The wind was then at cyclonic velocity, roofs, cis terns, portions of buildings, telegrsph poles aad walls were falling, and the noise of the wind and the crashing of the buildings wers terrifying In the extreme. The wind and water rose steadily from dark until 1:45 o'clock Sunday morning. During all thla tiro the people of Gal veston were like rata la trap. The high est portion of the city wa four to five feet under water, while la the great ma jority of cases the streets were sub merged to a depth of tea feet. To leave a house wss to drowa. To remain wa to court death la th wreckage. Such a night of agony ha seldom been equaled. , Without apparent reason the waters j suddenly began to subside at 1:45 a. m. Within 20 minute they had gone down two feet, aad before daylight the streets were practically freed of th flood wa ters. In the meantime the wind had veered to the southeast. "Very few if any building escaped in jury. There ia hardly a habitable dry house in the city. When th people who had escaped death went out at daylight to view th work of th tempest and the floods, they ssw the most horrible sight Imaginable. Ia the three block from Avenue N to Avenue P In Tremont street I saw eight bodies. Four corpses were In one yard. "The whole of the business front for three blocks In from the gnlf was strip ped of every vestige of habitation, the dwellings, the great bathing establish ments, the Olympia and every structure having been either carried out to sea or Its ruins piled in a pyramid far Into the town, according to the vagaries of the tempest. "The first hurried glance ever the city ahowed that the largest structures, sup posed to be the most substantially built, suffered the greatest. "The Orphans' home, Twenty-first street and Avenue M, fell like a house of csrda. How many dead children and refugees are In the ruins could not be ascertained. "Of the sick In St. Msry's Infirmary, together with the attendants, only eight ore understood to have been saved. The Old Woman's home, on Rosenberg avenue, collapsed, and the Rosenberg Kehoolhouse Is a mass of wreckage. The Bull high school Is but an empty shell, ; crushed and broken. Every church lu the city, with possibly one or two excep tions, is In ruins. "At the forts nearly all the soldiers , are reported deed, they having been iu' ; temporary quarters which gave them no protection uguiust the tempest or tliu flood. "No report has been received from the Catholic Orphan nxyhim down the Is land, but it seems impossible thut it could have withstood the hurricane. If it fell, all the inmates were no doubt lost, for there was no uid within a mile. "The bay front from end to end Is In ruins. Nothing but piling and the wreck of great warehouses remaiu. The ele vutorx lost all their uuparworks, and their stocks are damaged by water. "The lifo saving station at Fort Point was carried away, the crew being swept across the bny 14 miles to Texas City. "I saw Captain Haines, and he told me that his wire aud one of his crew were drowned. "The shore at Texas City contains enough wreckage to rebuild a city. Eight persons who were swept aryoss the bay during the storm were picked up there alive. Five corpses were also picked up. There were three fatalities in Texas City. In addition to the living and the dead which thu storm cast up at Texas City caskets and coffins from one of the cemeteries at Galveston were being fish ed out of the water there. "In the business portion of the city two large brick buildings, one occupied by Knapp Bros, and the other by thu Cot ton Exchunge saloon, collapsed. In tho Cotton Exchange saloon there were ubotit 15 persons. Most of them escaped. "How many more coipKW there are will not be known until thu wourcb is finished. "The cotton mills, the bagging factory, the fas works, the electric light works BLOOMSBURO, PA. nd nesrtv all the Industrial establish Bients of the city are either wrecked or crippled. The flood left slhe about one Inch deep over the whole city, and t:nles f.st progress Is made In burying corpses nl csreasses of animals there is danger of pestilence, "Some of the stories of the escapes are miraculous, William Nisbett, a cotton man. was buried in the ruins of the Cot ton Exchange saloon and when dug out in the morning had no further injury than a few hrulseiTflngers. "Dr. 8. O. Young, secretary of the Cot j ton Exchange, was knocked scnaelc i when his house collapsed, but wa ruviv ' ed by the water and wa carried teu block by th hurricane. "A woman who had Just given birth to a child waa carried from her home to a house a block distant, the men who were carrying her having to hold her high abort their heads, as the water wa five feet when ah was moved. "Msny stories were current of house falling and Inmates escaping. Clarence N. Ousley, editor of The Evening Trib une, had hla family and the families of two neighbors In bis house, when tho lower hslf crumbled and the upper part slipped down Into the wster. Not one In the house wss hurt. "Of the Lavlne family six out of seven re reported dead. Of the Hurnett fam ily only one Is known to have been ssved. The fsmlly of Stsnley O. Spencer, who met death In the Cotton Exchange sa loon, Is reported to be deatft" ' LI TO WAIT. floverasaeat Won't Open Jlaajotla tlons With China Tel. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-From th formal statement given out it appeal that th state department I not yet ready to begin direct negotiations with LI Hung Chang. It does not question his credentials plenipotentiary, but aimply leaves th matter In abeyance. Probably this Is because all of the pow ers have not yet returned their response te the Russlaa Bete, and It Is desired to avoid making th United State th first among the power to abandon th hope f harmoniou action and strike out It self toward a settlement directly with China. Alio It may be deemed well to wait to hear from Mr. Conger, who lev eral days ago wa Invited te express his opinion about quitting Peking. Mlniater Wu wa twice at the stste department yesterday. It wss understood thst hi first call wa In part at least to ecur transportation for LI Hung Chaag from Shanghai to Taku on a Uulted Stat vessel. His later cell wa to recelv tha newer of the department to that appli cation a well a to th communication respecting Li Hung Chang' function. The answer returned by the atate depart ment te the latter communication ap parently made It unnecessary at tbia time to pursue the inquiry as to the ship. If Li may not enter into negotiation at present, there i no occasion to transport him to Taku. The state department haa received a report from Mr. John Fowler, United State consul at Chefu, showing th steps taken by him to secure a vessel Cj ge to the rescue of th miislonarie and their families who war escaping from th Interior of China. The consul says that through the extreme kindness ef the Japanese consul, Mr. R. Tayut, he sac ceeded In obtaining a Japanese steamer, tha Kwanko Maru, which made four trips along the coast. 'MAINE'S (LECTION. Belayed Hatnrna Show Rannblleaa Flnrnlltr af 83,000. LEWISTON, Me., -Seat. 12.-Belated election return from all over the state bar com sitting ia, but with th ex ception of Knox county very few showed any decided change from tboa already received. The estimates sent out hold good, and with 875 cities, towns aad plantations heard from out of a total of 512 the estimated Republican plurality for the state ticket remains it 32,000. The total vote of the above towns gives Hill (Rep.) 08,237 aud Lord (Dem.) 38,. 101. The same places In 1800 gave Power (Rep.) 70,308 and Frank (Dem.) 31,700. These show a Republican loss of 11 per cent and Democratic gain of 22 per cent. Perhaps one of the most notable fea tures of the election was tha Democratic victory lu Knox county, where, owing to labor troubles, every Republican candi date was badly knifed, and only Con gressman Littlefield and Sheriff Ulmer succeeded la coming out ahead of their opponents. This was surprising, as Knox county Is Mr. Littlefield' home. The Democrsttc candidate for governor carried the county and pulled along with him the senatorial candidate, L. II. Sta ples of Waahington, and th latter will bar th distinction of being the only Democrat in the upper branch of the leg islature. Despite th Democratic gaina in Kaoi county the complexion of the legislature will not change, and the Republican will probably be able to muster next winter 155 vote on Joint ballot for Wil liam P. Fry for United State aenator. It will probably be two or three day longer before all the little town and plantation send In their several votes. New York Burglar Sentenced. OSWEGO, N. Y..
