Imperialism is now bidding for south ern support, by holding out induce ments, which it is hoped will catch the cotton growers and manufacturers. It is now semi-officialiy stated that the administration, which claims to have secured verbal promises from European governments which have been grabbing Chinese territory, that American com merce should enjoy equal privileges with their own, in all the Chinese territory controlled by thorn, has de manded of those governments formal written agreements, to accord with the verbal promises and intends, if the de mand is not acquiesced in, to back it up with force. This is said to have been the real reason for the recent material strengthening of the American naval forces at Manila. X X X The same statement adroitly points out the material advantages to the South, the Chinese trade will give, be cause of the increased demand, and, of course, increased price for all kinds of cotton goods. The men who are mani pulating imperialism aro very sly in putting out this bid for southern sup port. Thoy know that the cotton raisers of the South have had hard lines of late, and hope that this promise of better times will create an imperialistic sentiment among them. X t X Tho administration has hatched up a scheme to commit tho country irrev ocably to imperialism. It has already began the work of securing promises from senators and representatives to vote for a joint resolution, to be offered as soon as congress meets, declaring the intention of this government to per manently retain the Philippine islands. Nothing could more strongly show the steady growth of imperialistic ideas in administration circles. Only a short time ago, Mr. McKinley said that he in tended, and had always intended, that congress should decide whether we should koep tho Philippines. Now lie will say to congress, in effect, "I have decided to keep tho Philippines, and I demand that you shall ratify my deci sion." t t t Tho reason for this change is obvious. Mr. McKinley fears that if congress takes up this question and thoroughly discusses it, so many good reasons will bo presented against our going into thojcolonization business to the extent of keeping the Philippines, that con gress might decide against their reten tion. Therefore, he will endeavor to head off anything like a free discussion, by saying to congress that it is neces sary to ond the war in the Philippines, that this joint resolution should be adopted, knowing that if he succeeds, any future discussion of the matter in congress will be without effect in de termining tho policy of tho government. X t X If prominent men from the eastern section of the United States, who come to Washington, know tho sentiment of their people, the anti-imperialist spirit : is rapidly growing irrthat section. Said one of thorn—E. S. Beach, of the Boston bar: "Senator Hoar is voicing the better sentiment and I believe that sooner or later, the country will ap preciate his efforts to keep our govern ment inthe safe path justified by all the years of our national existence. There are a great many good and in fluential men in New England, who are saying little, but who have firmly re solved that if Imperialism Is to be a fixed policy of the Republican party, thoy will cease to be Republicans. Aside from the moral question involved in keeping up this war upon a people who regard themselves as lighting for their liberty, American citizens want to know what is'to be gained by carrying on the conflict. X X J "Is It worth while to have saddled upon us a large standing army, an im mense indebtedness, increased taxation and tho loss of hundreds of gallant young men, in exchange for these Islands? I candidly believe that the mass of our people are against this de parture from our established policy of non-interference in foreign lands. Back of tho whole business is the spirit of commercialism and mercenary greed. Tho Philippines aro rich, That is all tho argument needed with a certain class of men who care nothing for prin ciple If there are dollars to be acquired." Tho entire military strength of Great Britain has been called out tb conquer the little Boer army. MANILA IMPRESSIONS. ~ r Price of Cigars, the Climate, Ants, Chinese, unci Self-Government. The general appearance of Manila Is not Imposing, the buildings being usu ally not over two stories in height, through fear of earthquakes. The streets are paved and rather wider than those In Cuban cities, and are lighted by electricity. The street cars are Jrawn by the diminutive ponies. The shops are very interesting, both In the Chinese quarters and on the Escolta. The latter is the principal business street. There are new and curious gar ments In beautiful light and soft silk (it prices that are extremely tempting. Men's silk pajamas, for example, at $3.50, would cost at least five times as much in the United Stutes. Khaki uni forms, made to order, cost $4.50, just about half the American price. Any thing involving labor is usually cheap. Laundry work is done well, the usual prices being from 3 to 5 cents apiece, while work Is done at the penitentiary for 3 cents each piece. The enterprise of American brewers s everywhere in evidence. Every blank 'euceand dead wall announces the mer its of respective brands, giving quite a some feeling until one discovers that seer costs 50 cents a bottle. The tempt ng sign of Ice cream proved on investi gation to be a delusion. At the great tobacco factory "La In mlar" some 3,000 are employed, and we were courteously shown through ill the departments. Cigars are the >nly cheap luxury in Luzon. Cuban dgars are not to be had, though, to mit the preference of some English tud Americans, Luzon cigars have Ha vana labels on the boxes. The tilling )f the cigar is known as tripa (tripe), :he wrapper being called capa (a cape >r overcoat). Everyone smokes every where except in the churches. The women smoke cigarillos. The eultiva :ion of tobuceo was a Government monopoly until 1891. Fines, imprison ment and bodily punishment were bi lleted remorselessly upon illicit grow rs of tobacco. Good cigars can be bought for $3.40 i hundred, and the very best, each ci jar "con anillo y pajiel platu o oro," wrapped in silver or gold foil, only cost |s(> a hundred. The cigar lacks the line Havana flavor, but those at $2.40 a aundred are quite good enough for or -11 nary smoking, far better than the lsual ten or twelve-cent cigar In the United States, and without any rank ador or taste. The best tobacco, the Esealante leaf, is raised in the northern part of Luzon. A very tine leaf is also rrown iu Degros, Cebu and Mlnauao; ;hat from Cagayun is probably richest n flavor. Cigars are the only manu factured articles exported. The ware louses of La Insular factory were piled jp with tobacco leaf two and three fears old. As to the climate of Manila, after >ne is acclimated, It is nil a question if "the point of view." Some say, 'lovely," "healthful;" others, "deadly." l'ho latter are putting the case too strongly. The climate is enervating, ind the many restrictions on diet cause iigestive disorders. No one can exert he same energy in this hot climate as n cooler latitudes. And yet this is a beautiful country o look upon—fertile, with well-culti vated sugar and rice plantations, beau :if ill drives along fairly good roads, shaded by bamboo and palm and ba lana trees. The absence of oranges inn poles about four feet above the zround, the better class of houses l>e ng on foundation pillars of stone and masonry. There are no windows, the openings being partially closed with sliding panels. The floors and Inside walls are of spilt bamboo, the roofs generally of nipa, sometimes of tin or galvanized iron. Banana and palm tres embower even the most lowly. The Chinese and the ants are the inly busy objects in the country; the ants are omnipresent. A bit of sugar left on my table attracted within ten minutes thousands of them. The nnt nills in the cultivated flelds are mounds four feet high and as large around. It is said one species will burrow through a wooden chest and destroy ill clothing therein in a day. The great mass of the people in Lu eon. and presumably to an even greater •xtent in the other provinces, cannot, after the years of oppression under Spanish and Church rule, be capable jf self-government for some years to come. The result of turning it over to the Filipino leaders would be an un stable government, with greater op pression of the lower and ignorant classes than even existed in the past. As they realize the Just treatment ac corded to them by the United States, a Ifappler era will dawn upon these poor natives and their work, morals, and physical conditions will be im proved. Once they know they will get money for their work, instead of the aid rewards of blows, fines, and im prisonment, permanent peace will be assured. Filipino Fans. A novel fan made in Manila Is made to fold. The handle and separating parts are made of frail ivory, daintily •arved. Inserted into the end of each is the feather of a swan, at the end sf which Is the gorgeous tip of a pea cock feather, altogether forming an at tractively beautiful blending of natural and quite artistic colors. Perhaps the most beautiful piece of work in the construction of the fan lies in the swan feathers. Woven into these slender feathers are variegated threads, form ing fantastic figuring of flowers, per sonages and leaves. In the centre of the right side of the fan is woven imong the feathers a picture represent i ing a man and a woman picking fruit. Into this one picture alone is Intro duced an amazing woof of colors, varied as those of the rainbow, causing sno to marvel how such a variety of threads could be woven so intricately and with such perfect precision upon the slender swan feathers. About these ligurcH are clustered varicolored flowers and leaves, the latter being of a pure white silk, while the former are made of silks of many hues. Upon the reverse side of the feathers are also Innumerable woven flowers and leaves. The work is evidently that of some past master In the art. HOW YE CAN TELL 'EM.

He's the j lucky chap that won. —Washington Star. THE SEQUEL. Count Corrlelli's greeting was a lei- j surely and fine performance. There is a grace and a reserved gra ciousness about a well-bred foreigner i which all Americans have not, even when members of that much-maligned and envied social strata, the one which leads the world In this republic of ours, just as it does in monarchical England and imperial Russia. The American usually presents him or herself, whether in drawing-room or on a platform before a crowded audi ence, with ease, and most creditably. But there is a fine, thin line of de markation, very distinct, which sepa rates the ease and simplicity of manner of those accustomed, from times re mote, to that deference paid to super iority of merit and position, with the self-assertion of the individual who is I forced to battle his way to the consid eration of others, and. however slight, it can be detected without diiilculty. Count Corrielli, although in his six ties, was still an eminently agreeable, cultured, even a charming man. Slight and of medium height, with hair abundant and white as the driven . snow, whose contrast of coloring was vivid, with eyes dark, sleepy and im- < penetrable, and his somewhat swarthy | complexion, not altogether free from | lines around the thin lips, which shut firm and straight, unconcealed by ! beard or mustache, for his was a clean- I shaven face, made the count a distin guished-looking man, while he was a conspicuous and attractive figure wher ever he happened to be. "How delightful your solitude is," re marked the count, with a sigli of con tent, taking the seat near the fire, and her own chair, suggested by a faint gesture of Estelle's pretty hand. Looking keenly at the beautiful face before him, the heightened color, the i gray eyes, in which a mist seemed to j linger sorrowfully, and the tremulous i motion of the fingers, fluttering rather 1 aimlessly among the silver of the tea service, he drew his conclusions. "A part lui," the count detested the sight of a samovar. There was no tea, Russian, Japanese, | English, nor other, which had the slightest attraction for this descendant of an old Neapolitan house, whose j ducal palace. Somewhat abandoned — | for the count was a confirmed wander- ; er, spending most of his life in Lon- 1 don and Paris —looked solitary and beautiful from the cliffs of the moun- i tain side, where it stood among its j gardens, down on the blue waters of the bay stretching out at its feet. That grand old castle which Estelle's j thoughts had pictured to her as a line i locale for a bright Christmas gathering j of American wanderers on the Con tinent. "With pleasure—No. Neither cream I nor sugar." "If the feminine world has decreed that one must drink the abomination," | the count once said privately to some club friends, "why, let it be without any additions. They only make it worse." "No callers? Why, it seems Co me this 1 is an ideal afternoon for friends to drop ! in. A little gossip, my dear young | lady, fits in admirably with the dull weather outside, and would add to your j charmingly bright fireside, where no shadows would ever dare to gather, if j such a thing were possible." "What a comedy of errors!" said Es telle's thoughts with a shudder. "Oh, yes; I caught a glimpse of Miss | Bennington as their carriage crossed j mine," said the count slowly, while with commendable virtue he sat sipping Estelle's tea. "Oh, if he would only go! Am I never ' to have one quiet hour to myself?" ! whispered Estelle's thoughts sadly. "It ! is maddening! But he stays and urges " "Why, surely you must put an end to it Estelle, once and for all," they com- j rnanded. "You'll be glad to get away > from this country and from all these | dear, hateful people. "And after all very few men can equal j the count, as everyone says and thinks. j You know he's devoted to you. and you 1 need not stay more than a month at a time in his ducal palace on the heights. Of course there have been marriages, j and births, and deaths, and joy, and i sorrow, and revelry, and crime, and wretchedness within its vast walls through all these centuries, and the ' spirits of the past must haunt its fres coed corridors and sigh through its halls and conservatories and wander through its myrtle and citron groves. 1 But what do we care? "Anything to get away. Anything to put the ocean between you. And conti- I nents, too, if possible, so what you will uever, never again hear his name ! spoken or learn of its successes and of those who willingly make up his daily . and hourly life." And all the while her thoughts were rambling on. Estelle and the count sat chatting almost confidentially of t.he scenes at the horse show, the latest opera, and the last novel, and the formal wedding of the forenoon, while the keen scrutiny of the count's veiled eyes read deeper into the young girl's soul than she was ' at all awa *e of. "A very suitable marriage," he com mented. rising lqipurely to put his half empty cup on the tabouret. Estelle's eyes Hashed and her lip curled. "Far those two," he supple mented, reseating himself. "What is folly for one may bo wisdom for another. We are all on distinct patterns, my dear young lady, although in different degrees. We possess with :u us ruu same irrational ounaie 01 contradictory emotions which are apt to play us queer tricks at odd times, | and whose vagaries we none of us are : ever sure we can circumvent or con ] trol." | "Don't you know, weally, sometimes | \ 1 wondeh if life is life, or is only a j blundeh? A twick of that devilish I fellah down youdeh, who's fooling us i all, don't you know?" quoted Estelle, I with a light laugh, while her thoughts I ran on in bewildering riot, picturing i scenes and forecasting events until, j j with a start, she came back in Count I Corrieill's last words. Would she be content? Would a life I jof luxurious wandering suit her? j Would liberty aud freedom and the j kaleidoscope of fashions, facts and | j fancies, aud the whirl of social life In ! the great capitals, please her fancy and j amuse and delight and ever keep a I bright smile on her beautiful lips, and j a gladness In the depths of her glorious eyes? ! And would she honor the home of | his forbears, the castle on the cliffs, i with her divine presence, and see | beauty in the deep blue skies of Italy ] and hear music in the beat and mur mur of the waves on the crags and locks of the shore? I "Yes! Yes! Yes!" said Estelle, j faintly and desperately, with white Hps ! and a despairing heart, while he stood before her, holding with compassionate j tenderness her cold and trembling hands. Then a long pause fell between them. | The wood fire burned cheerily, the j fretted brass work of the fireplace , gleamed and glistened us the fitful tlames rose aud fell. That of the hand -1 some room, familiar to Estelle from her bynny childhood to this culminating | hour of her young womanhood, looked with sorrowful reproach at her mad sacrifice, and her thoughts, tumultuous and wild, worried her with clamorous appeal, reproaches and surging, unde fined fears, until to still the pain and tumult, she sank hack on the amber cushions of her chair aud closed her eyes. | The white bear on whose long fur [ your feet are resting was driven, and hunted, and finally trapped by a decep [ tive cry, in the black darkness of the | night, when, wailed her thoughts, "the wild winds of the steppes caught up } and whirled the snow in eddies and blinding mists, while baffled and I wounded, he fell into the trammels of I Ills captor!" Estelle's thoughts sobbed and wrung | their hands. j The stillness of the library grew op ! pressive, and Estelle, drawing a long I breath, looked up. The dark eyes were gazing down j compassionately and sorrowfully at her lovely upturned face, whose varying color and troubled look told a tale of tentimes read by Count Corrielll in his wanderings through the world. ! "Caro mio," he said gently, drawing j a chair close to hers and resuming po | session of her hands. "I am better than you deem me. "Do you believe I would selfishly tie I your exquisite and reluctant youth to my gray hairs and sober years, and imprison your loveliness within the limits of a life, guilded and gaudy, but after all a prison life, little one, in which your heart would cry out and I beat its wings uutil it lay dead, all i bruised for struggling so ineffectually j against the walls of its living tomb? "No! No! Yours Is the happiness I hold the most precious thing in all this I world, sweetheart; so not to me shall you sacrifice one second of your price less liberty or give one unwilling thought iu obedience to a dictate which ' comes not from the heart." j Estelle sat and listened, while a wave of color swept over her face. | "See here, little one," continued the ! count, with a faint half-sad smile, I which sat well on his careworn and j thoughtful face, "1 came with a mission ibis afternoon." "A mission!" repeated Estelle, vague ly, while a sigh of unconscious relief escaped her. "Mine is a longer acquaintance with the world and its incongruous inhabi tants than yours. Will you not believe, child, that my knowledge of others, and love for you, will give me u greater In sight into intent and motive than you ! can possess?" "I suppose so," acquiesced Estelle, I still too bewildered by the singular out come of the count's proposal to draw any special conclusion, while a curious j hopefulness began to stir and assert j itself within her breast. [ "Then accept my advice and attach no importance to gossip rumor, j "And again caro mio, let no false barrier stand between you and that \ happiness which will Burely crown a glorious young life If you only will." "But monsieur le comte " began j Estelle, while her thoughts, now riot ing in gladness, sang curious and ex hilarating songs lu her ears. "I hardly know—" j "You will later," said the count, ris | ing to go. j "You will realize, in looking hack to this hour, the wisdom of the advice your Old friend now gives you, and you will partly understand the Immensity of his sacrifice and of his undying de votion to the sweetest woman in all the world." Raising her hand to his lips, Count ; Corrielll turned to leave the room, \ where Estelle stood uncertain and be wildered, when the heavy curtain In i the doorway was again drawn and ; someone paused In the doorway. "Mr. Carrlngton will complete the ! tale. Adieu mignonne," said (Jount Corrielli, as he passed slowly out, with i a courteous greeting to Estelle'e latest ! visitor. He came forward with a quick stride, and — ; Nothing was said. m $2.75 "Q* PAIN COAT A RK4HLAK $6.00 WATKHFKUOF J* MACKINTOSH FOB 52.75.

OREGOH SAILS FOE WEI-HAI-WEI. Pokm! lifllty of a DemoiiNtrnt lon In Chinene Wafer# by Xnvnl Force# of Germany, lulled States, Great llrlt -11 tn and Japan—C'aMalnl'a Statement. Washington, Nov. 8. —The state de partment has achieved another triumph. Germany's agreement to the United States' demand for u written assurance of the maintenance of the opeu door in China was received yesterday at the state department and was simultaneous ly given out in Berlin as au authorized statement from the foreign office. The agreement reduced to written form is expected from Berlin within two weeks. Nothing has been heard from Itussia and Franc# on this subject, and a com pliance with the request of the United States is not expected from these two countries. Germany's action undoubtedly results from the secret understanding and alli ance she has with Great Britain, un un derstanding established not more than three weeks ago aud involving the dispo sition of Samoa and the Gilbert and Solo mon islands. This development neces sarily eliminates Germany from the pro gramme formulated by Russia and France of either intervening in South Africa or taking "compensation else where," or both. The situation, therefore, resolves itself into a combination of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Jupan, Korea and China —all pledged to prevent the closure of ports and the change of the political map of Chiuu for the present. The Oregon, which sailed from Hong kong during the night, is apparently bound for VVei-llai-Wei, ulthough the navigation bureau refuses to admit that port to be her destination. A demon stration ut Wei-Hui-Wei by Great Brit ain, the United States and Japan will be an earnest of n determination to oppose the concluded Franco-Russian combina tion's intention in the matter of "open door" in China. Count Cnssini, Russian embassador, lins given out an authorized interview, which was rend with much Interest at the state department and in other diplo matic circles. It is significant thut in this interview Count Cassini does not deny Russia's intention of moving against Newchwnng. The embassador appar ently justifies liiß statement of Russia's pacific intentions by elaborating the fact that Talien Wan is open to the trade of nations and that Russia believed in the open door policy. WHEATON'S EXPEDITION. It linn I'rolinbly Already Landed at Snn Fnhlnti. Manila, Nov. B.—General Wheafon's orders were to land at or nonr Sun Fa bian, a fishing village 20 miles northeast of Dngupun. The Filipino force there only numbered about 300 men, intrench ed, whereas at Daguffan there are some thousands of insurgents and five miles of strong trenches. The Mounts river is blockaded. General Wlieaton is supposed to have landed, though communication with him is not yet established. The weather has been good since he started, anil he should have been able to take the trenches with out great loss of life. From San Fabian General When ton can control the rouds of escape from Tnrlac to the northeast, making a junc tion with General Lawtou. General Mac Arthur will begin his ad vance toward Tarlnc tonight. General Law ton will resume his advance today, though in the face of great difficulties, rains in that district having destroyed all the bridges in the vicinity, including sev eral the engineers built for the move ment. General Lawton has been working hard for several days to get rations for ward. The Thirty-fifth regiment re-en forces him today. A force of 300 insurgents attacked the Fourth cavalry Monday night, making three futile churges and losing three men. The Americans lost none. Ynquln Kill nn American. Ouuynias. Mexico, Nov. 6, via Nogales, A. T., Nov. 8. —The Yaqui ludiuns huve killed Nettleton, an American, and car ried a German into captivity. They have renewed hostilities in the lower Yuqui valley, uud the people in the river towns in that section ure uguin on the de fensive. A special courier arrived yes terday with intelligence of the terrible fight between Nettleton, the American, nnd Rossick, the German, and Indians at Cajauie hacienda, neur Bachm, last Sat urday uight. The two men were over seers of the property. At the beginning of the attack, shortly before daylight, they made a brave defense and used their arms effectively, but the doors of the house were battered down, and in the hand to hand battle that ensued Nettle ton was shot and clubbed to death. Ros sick, although wounded, was spared. After taking all the provisions in sight and their prisoner the Indians withdrew to the south side of the river. LIBOR WINTER, Eating House and Oyster Saloon.
