Critical IlloeM of Governor-Elect Brine*
On Much Speculation.
The continued critical illness of ,
t Governor-elect Samford of Alabama is
exciting the tenderest aymyathy of '
the state and the question of who ]
would succeed him in case of his (
death, at this time, is naturally a matter
of . very considerable anxiety
throughout the state.
Lawyers differ widely as to this.
Some able ones contend that Governor
Johnston would hold ever for two <

president of the senate, who will be
chosen when the body meets next <
week, would succeed as governor. ,

M'ARTHUR REPORTS

In Philippine Islands.
I
HR CASUALTIES FOR NINE MONTHS.
Americans Lose Over a Thousand In Kill*
cd, Wounded and Captured?Filipinos
Lose Nearly 7,000.
Major General Arthur MacArthur,
commanding the United States forces
n the Philippines and military goverlor
of the islands, has submitted his
report to the war department.
Every question in the Philippines is
* ' > ' > f K.
created, ana tiie lumreuco manu u?
many of those at headquarters is that
if the United States are to conquer the
Philippines it must be by sheer force
>f arms.
While, according to the report, Agninaldo
and his band voted to discontinue
war November 12th, 1899, as a
matter of fact it continued. By their
ability to doff the habiliments of war
ind assume the garb of peace, Filipinos
have successfully kept in the field,
nut at a tremendous loss. Fifty-three
stations occupied by Americans on
November 1st, 1899, had on September
1st, 1900, expanded to 413. While
:he Americans had lost 1,073 in killed,
grounded and captured, the Filipinos
nad lost 6.785. The report says:
"The Filipinos are not a warlike or
ferocious people. Left to themselves,
i large number would gladly accept
;he American supremacy, which they
ire gradually coming to understand
means individual liberty and absolute
?ecurity in their lives and property."
General McArthur says the exteniive
distribution of troops has strained
:he soldiers of the army to the full
imit of endurance. He says the apparent
desultory work has demanded
more of discipline and as much of val

General McArthur's report says that
the troops amidst all labors and hardships
are content.
The Filipinos, the report says, left
a> themselves would gladly accept the
American supremacy. The Americans
ire making as many friendly overtures
is is compatible with the conditions.
MCABTHUB 70 TAKE THE FIELD.
A Washington special says: In
pursuance of the plan to make an aggressive
campaign in the Philippines
luring the winter, it has been arranged
that Major General McArthur
iball personally direct the military
>perations against the insurgents.
(Vhile he is in the field Major Generil
Bates will be assigned to duty in
Manila, as exectuive head of the military
government of the island.
General MacArthurdoes not propose
to lay himself open to the criticism
vhich was made against his predeces)or,
General Otis, who occupied himtelf
with office details while his suboriinates
led the fighting. General
ttacArthur's determination to lead the
roops himself is warmly approved by
he president and the secretary of war.

MANY PERISH !
IN THE WAVES
Steamer Is Overwhelmed in Big
Storm Off Halifax Coast.
TWENTY-FIVE BODIES FOUND
Death List Known to Be ThirtyTwo-Five
Persons Were Cast
Upon the Beach Unhurt.
A special from Halifax, N. S., says:
The worst marine disaster in the long
list of steamers wrecked among the
rocks and shoals at the entrance of the
Bay of Fundy occurred Saturday morning
when the side-wheel steamer City
of Monticello, bound f rom St. Johns for
for Yarmouth, was quickly overwhelmed
by the mountainous seas only
four miles from her destination,
and engulfed with thirty-four of her
passengers and a crew. A heavy gale
was raging ot the time and there was
a tremendous sea.
The place where the Monticello
struck is at the mouth of the Bay of
Fundy, where tko waters of the bay
join those of the Atlantic. There are
many reefs and shoals at this point,
and the currents are many and
changeable, it being one cf the most
daugeron6 places on the coast.
Just before the vessel foundered an
attempt was made to reach the land in
a small boat in charge of the quartermaster,
and it contained Third Officer
Fleming, a stewardess named Smith
and three passengers. This bbat was
smashed by a huge comber, and the
occupauts being hurled high upon the
beach at Pembroke uninjured. It is
be ieved these are the only survivors.
The City of Monticello was used in
the coastwise service between Halifax, '
Yarmouth and St. Johns, and was due
at Halifax Sunday morning. She was
au iron, side-wheel boat of about 1,000
tons gross, and was commanded by
Captain Harding, of Yarmouth, where
most of the thirty-seven men belong. |
She was formerly called the City of
Norfolk, and was built at Wilmington,
Del., in 18G6. When she received
British register her name was changed.
She was valued at $35,000, and was
partially insured. The vessel had been
rebuilt within fifteen years, but was
not regarded safe in an exceptionally
heavy sea. She carried a crew out of
proportion to her sixe.
TWEXTX-riVE BODIES BECOVKBED.
A special of Sunday from Yarmouth,
N. 8., says: "The shore of this coun- '
ty for ten miles east and west ia
strewn with the wreckage of the hull
and cargo of the steamer City of Mohticello,
which foundered Saturday
morning, and twenty-five bodies of
victims of the disaster have been recovered
from the sea, whioh is still
raging with terriffic fury. The death
roll so far as known is thirty-two.
"Many people have assembled at
Kockville, near where the first body
came ashore, and numerous relatives
of members of the crew, who nearly all
belonged to points ou this coast, have
arrived to identify the dead. The
bodies were arranged in a room in the
public hall and Coroner Fuller, who
held an inquest, gave an opinion of accidental
drowning. All the bodies are
terribly battered.
"The first body was found at daylight,
when the zinc lifeboat, which
was supposed by the survivors of the
first boat to have been swamped, was
discovered on the shore. A few yards
distant were the bodies of Mr. Eldridge,
a passenger; Second Engineer
Poole, Mr. Fripp, a traveler for McGee's
Sons, of St. John, and the body
of a seaman. All four had life belts
I aronnd them.
"At short intervals along the beach
eleven more bodies were found, making
fifteen fonnd up to noon today.
They had all evidently some ashore m
the life-boat and were killed on striking
the beach, not one escaping.
"It is a coincidence that the ship
Peter Stewart was wrecked off this
shore a few years ago in the month of
July and a boat load of men came in
where the Monticello's boat was found.
Half of the men were dead before the
I boat touched the laud."

BRYAN TALKS
OF ELECTION
Defeated Candidate Declares Tbat
the Battle Most Continne.
FIGHT WAS STRICTLY HONEST.
Nebraskan Says That Republican
Honey Did Much, But Prosperity
Argument Was
Chief Factor.
A Lincoln, Neb., Special says:
William J. Bryan has given out the
following statement concerning the
election:
"The result was a surprise to me
j and the magnitude of the Republican
victory was a surprise to our oppo!
nents as well as to those who voted
| our ticket It is impossible to ana|
lyze the returns until they are more
complete, but speaking generally we
seem to have gained in the large cities
and to have lost in the smaller cities
and in the country.
"The Republicans were able to se*
| cure tickets or passes for all their
j vetcrs who were away from home aDd
this gave them considerable advantage.
We havo no way of knowing at
at this time how much money was
spent in the purchaso of votes in colonization.
"But while these would account for
some of the Republican gains, thcv
could not account for the widespread
increase in the Republican vote. The
prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the Republicans.
"They compared present conditions
with the panic times of 1893 $o 1896,
and this argument had weighed with
* -A? a :J _
111086 WD0 did not stop 10 cuiimuer iuo
reasons for the change. The appeal,
'stand by the president while the war
is on/ had a great deal of influence
among those who did not realize that
a war against a doctrine of self-government
in the Philippines must react
upon us in this country. We made an
honest fight upon an honest platform,
and, having done our duty as we saw
it, we have nothing to regret.
"We were defeated but not discouraged.
The fight must go on. I am
sure that Eepnblican policies will be
repudiated by the people when the
tendency of these policies are fully understood.
The contest between plutocracy
and democracy cannot end until
one or the other is completely triumphant."
Concerning himself, Mr. Bryan
said:
"I have come out of the campaign
with perfect health and a clear conscience.
I did my utmost to bring
success to the principles for whioh I
stood. Mr. Stevenson did all thai he
could; Senator Jones and the members
of the Democratic, Populist, Silver
Eepnblican and anti-imperialist committees
did all they could. Mr. Hearst
and his associates in the club organization
put forth their best efforts.
"Our newspapers, our campaign
speeches and our local organizations

be the duty of citizens to do bo and,in
addition to my interest as a citizen, I
feel that it will require a lifetime of
work to repay the political friends who
have done so much for mo.
"I shall not be a senatorial candidate
before the legislature which has
been elected. Senator Allen deserves
the senatorship, which goes to the
Populists. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. W.
H. Thompson are avowed candidates
for the Democratic senatorship. They
both deserve well of the party, and I
am too grateful to them for past support
to stand in their way, even if I
desired a seat in the senate. I made
my light for the presidency and I lost.
I am not going to take other men's po|
6itions from them."
! . Mr. Bryan said he had no other
plans at present than to remain at
home until he had recovered from the
j fatigue of campaigning. He denied
I the report that he would remove from
} Nebraska and make Texas his home.

Trasedlf* Near Greenville.
It has been a long time since the
dark corner of Greenville county has
been heard from in a killing function.
A few days ago the record was broken
in two ways. There was a killing and
white men had no part in the tragedy,
but negroes were the actors. Miles
Curetou is a bad negro, a thief and
"blind tiger." Warrants were ont for
him for selling whiskey and he skipped
to Dark Corner. Ned Parks, a
quiet negro, lives on the place of Robert
Pittman.
Curetou made himself at home at
the cabin of Parks, so much so that
he appropriated Park's Sunday trousers
aud wore them away. Parks met
Curetou and charged him with stealing
his trousers. Coreton, following
the custom, drew his pistol and shot
Parks, the bullet entering his heart,
killing him instantly. Cureton made
his escape and is supposed to have
crossed the line and gone into North
Carolina. The white people are swearing
vengeance, aud Cureton will fare

Georgia Will Have Exhibit.
The Hoq. W. A. Hemphill, president
of the Atlanta Constitution and
one of the most active promoters of
the Cotton States and International
Exposition, held at Atlanta in 1895,has
been appointed commissioner for the |
South Carolina Interstate and Weetln- j
dian Exposition Company for the state
of Georgia, and has appointed a special
committee to take charge of the
work of urging a special exhibit of the
resources of Georgia for the exposition
at Charleston.
He will be supported in hit efforts
by the state authorities of Georgia and
by the general assembly of that state,
as well as by the municipal authorities
of Atlanta and the merchants aud
manufacturers of that city. Upon a
recent visit of a special committee
from the exposition company to At* j
| lanta, the governor of the state and
; the general assembly gave the most
j gratifyiog assurance of the disposition ;
and determination of Georgia to fill a j
large place at the exposition at Charleston.
Atlanta and Georgia know what
expositions do for a community and j
state aud section in the development
of their material resources. When
the Cotton exposition was held in Atlanta
in 1881, the population of that
c ty, all told, was about 87,000.
The population of Atlanta now is,
in round numbers, 100,000. The exposition
of 1881, which was the first
held in the southern states, bronght
to Atlanta for investment at least
810,000,000 and $60,000,000 besides
for investment in the state of Georgia.
The experience of all the other cities
| in the south where expositions have
! been held is that they are great promoters
of commercial and industrial
) progress and development. Atlanta
i an/i P?Irimor?s and Philadelphia are
I
. already iu line, and it is expected that
f other enterprising cities in the country
will be represented in the great
avenue of states and cities when the
exposition at Charleston opens in December,
1901.

of $117,358,388 in comparison with

for that year was converted into a
surplus of S79,527,060 in 1900.
Promptly on the enactment oi the
new financial law the divisions of issue
and redemption therein provided
for were established, and to them were
tranferred the records and accounts
relating to the issue and redemption of

was from $25.38 to $27.01. The per
