Applies the Monroe Doctrine to the Philippines. THINKS A FILIPINO REPUBLIC WOULD NOT BE A1N EXPENSIVE THING FOR THE UNITED STATES TO PROTECT IA FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PARA MOUNT ISSUE. Chicago, Sept. 17. William J. Bry an's letter of acceptance of the demo cratic nomination to the presidency was given out for publication tonight. At the opening of (his letter Mr. Bryan renews his pledge of 1896 that if elected' he will not "uinder lany circum stances be a candidate for re-election." iHe then describes the character of his letter asi follows: "Having in my noti fication' speech discussed somewhat at length the pareumounlt issue, Imperial ism, and added some observations on militarism and the Boer wiar, it i suffi cient at this time to review the re maining planks of the platform." He then, under each head, approved briefly in most cases, the (position taken in the piatiform; on the following topics: Trusts, free silver coinage, election of senators by the people, direct legisla tion against "government by injunc tion, favoring the establishment of a governmenit department of labor, Chi nese exclusldn, liberal peri'sTonsT con-' structicxn and ownership of the Nica ragua canal, home rule in Alaska and Porto Rico, statehood for Arizona, New Mexilco and Oklahoma., Cuban in dependence, favoring the Monroe doc trine, charging republican extrava gance, income tax and "imperialism." TRUSTS. After denouncing "private monopo lies" Mr. Bryan says: "Our platform, after suggesting cer tain specific remedies; pledges the par ty to an unceasing warfare against pri vate monopoly in nation, state and city. I heartily approve of this prom ise, if elected it shall be my earnest and constant endeavor to fulfill the promise in letter and spirit. I shall select an attorney general, who will, without fear or favor, enforce existing laws; I shall recommend such additional legislation as may be necessary to dissolve every private monopoly which does business outside of the state of its origin; and, if contrary to my belief and hope, a constitutional amendment is found to be necessary, I shall recommend' su'ch an amendment as will, without impair ing any of the existing rights of the states, empower congress to protect the people of all the states from injury at the bands of individuals or corpora tions engaged in interstate commerce." THE FINANCIAL PLANK. On the currency question he writes as follows: "The platform reiterates the demand contained in (the Chicago platform for an American financial system made by the American people for themselves! The purpiose' of such a system is to rer store and maintain a bimetallic leveL of prices, a,nd in order that there may be no uncertainty as to the method of restoring bimetallism., tthe specific dec laration in favor of free and unlimited coinage at the existing ratio of 16 to 1, independent of the action of other na tions, is repeated. In 1896 the repubrT- can party recognized the necessity of bimetallism by pledging the party to an earnest effort to secure an international agreement for the free coinage of sti ver, and the president, immediately af ter his inauguration, by authority of congress, appointed a commission ON MONTFORD.

The financial law enacted less than a year ago eon tains a concluding ection declaring that the measure was not Intended to stand in the way of the restoration of bimetallism, whenever It could be done by co-operation with Wther nations. The platform submitted to the last re publican convention, with the endorse ment of the administration again sug gested the possibility of securing for eign aid in restoring silver. "Now, (the republican, party, for the first tlme,vopenlF abandons Its advo cacy of the double standard, and en dorses the monetary system which It has so often and so emphatically con demned.

Washington, Sept. 17. The Chinese minister has received a despatch from Prince Ohing, dated Pe'kin, Sentember 8, stating that he had been clothed with full authority, together with Li Hung Chang, to negotiate peace and requested Minister Wu to ask the sec retary of state to instruct Minister Conger to open negotiations at once. Minister Wu has taken the despatch to the state department. GHASTLY TROPHIES. Victoria, B. C, Sept. 17. Among the advices brought .by the British steam er Econshire were stories of the arrest of Chinese with the heads of foreign soldiers in sacks. Jt seems that head money of fifty taels is paid for' eaoh head. This fact was ibrought to light by the discovery of the private papers of Viceroy Tu Lu of Tien Tsin. In his day book there is an entry which reads : v-"TaUs;.lfl0ipA!d-& the heads of two Americans killed in the advance to the relief cf Tien Tsin. Taels, 50 for two. guns captured on the same occasion." Then an entry explains many ghast ly incidents which have been recounted of the killing of wounded.

The next night some Chinese were found hiding in the millet and in trying to escape were bayoneted.

POWERS tAJNCO LIAIIaLTIONS OF THB COMMISSION GOVERN MENT TO BE 1ESTAJ&LISHED WITH A VH3W TO THE HAPPI NESS, jpEACB AND PROSPERITY OPEOPLE OF PHTL-IPPENE ISL- Washington, Sept. 17. The war de partment has just made public the in structions of President McKinley to the Philippine commission appointed last April to organize a government In the Philippines. The instructions were transmitted by the president to the sec retary of iwar in tfie follo'wing form, dated April 7, 1900: Sir: In the message transmitted to the coftgress on the &th of December, 1899, I said, speaking of -the Philippine islands: "As long as the insurrection continues the military arm must neces sarily be supreme. But there Is no rea son why steps should not be taken from time to time to inaugurate gov ernments essential popular in their form as fast as territory is held and controlled by our troops To this end I am considering. t. advisability of the return of the commission, or such mem--bers eof us c&n be' secured, to aid the existing authorities and facilitate this work throughout the islands." To give effect to the intention thus expressed I have appointed the Hon. William H. Taft, of Ohio; Prof. Dean C. Worcester, of Michigan; the Hon. Luke I. Wright, of Tennessee; the Hon. Henry C. Ide, of Vermont, and Prof. Bernard Moses, of California, commissioners to the Philippine islands to continue and perfect the work lof or ganizing and establishing civil govern ment already commenced by the mil itary authorities, subject in all re spects to any laws which congress may hereafter enact. The commissioners named will meet and act as a board, and the Hon. Will iam H. Taft is designated as president of the board. It is probable that the transfer of authority from military commanders to civil officers will be gradual and will occupy a considerable period. Its successful accomplishment and the maintenance of peace and or der in the meantime will require the mast perfect co-operation between the civil and military authorities in the island, and both should be directed during the transition period by the same executive department. The com mission will therefore report to the secretary Of war, and all their action will be subject to your approval and control. You will instruct the commission1 to proceed to the city of Manila, where they will make their principal office, and to communicate with the military governor of the Philippine islands, whom you will at the same time direct, to render to them every assistance within his power in the performance of their duties. Without hampering them by too 'specific instructions, they should In general be enjoined, after making themselves familiar with the conditions and needs of the country, to devote their attention in the first instance to the establishment of municipal govern ments, in which the natives of the isl ands, both in the cities and in the rur al communities, shall be afforded the opportunity to manage their own local affairs to the fullest extent of which they are capable, and subject to the least degree of supervision and control CALL AND SEE j That we are al ways prepared to supply you with the best Wines and Whiskies... both imported and domestic at the Boston Saloon " GAftB & 37ABD, Props.

The next subject in order of import ance should be the organization of government in the larger administra tive divisions corresponding to coun ties, departments or provinces, in which the common interests of many or several municipalities falling within the same tribal lines, or the same nat ural geographical limits, may be best subserved by a common administra tion. Whenever the commission Is of the opinion that the condition of affairs In the islands is such that the central administration may be safely transfer red from military to civil control, they will report that conclusion to you, with their recom me ndationa as to the form of central government to be established for the purpose of taking over the con trol. Beginning with the first day of Sep tember, 1900, the authority to exercise, subject to my approval, through .the secretary of war, that part of the pow er of government in the Philippine isl ands which is of a legislative nature is to be transfererd from the military governor of the islands to this commis sion, to be thereafter exercised by them in the place and stead of the military governor, under such rules and regula tions as you shall prescribe, until the establishment of the central civil gov ernment for the islands contemplated in the last foregoing paragraph, or un til congress shall otherwise provide. Exercise of this legislative authority will include the making of rules and orders, having the effect of law, for the raising of revenue by taxes, customs duties and imposts; the appropriation and expenditure of public funds of the islands; the establishment of an edu cational system throughout the islands; the establishment of a system to secure an efficient civil service; the organiz ation and establishment of courts; the organization and establishment of mu nicipal and departmental governments, and all other 'matters of a civil nature for which the .military governor is now competent to provide by rules or orders of a legislative character. The commission will also have power during the same period to appoint to office such officers under the judicial, educational and civil service systems and in the municipal and departmental governments as shall be provided for. Until the complete transfer of control the military governor will remain the chief executive head of the government of the islands, .and will exercise the ex ecutive authority now possessed by him and not herein expressly assigned to the commission, subject, however, to the rules and orders enacted by the commission in the exercise of the leg islative powers conferred upon them.

Caused by the Falling of a Trolly Pole The large iron trolly pole of one of the Montford avenue cars became de tached yesterday while the car was sTrandiintg on court square, and there was a narrow escape from serious re sults. One young iady, Miss Undine Whiitesides, of Rutherford county, was very painfully though perhaps not se riously injured 'by tthe falling trolly,. Dr. Glenn, who was sta'nding near, was called and gave the opinion that none of the injuries received by Miss White sides would prove of special conse quence, though there were a number of bruises about 'the left shoulder and ami. It is said 'that no legal steps will be rtakeni, as the accident came through no fault of the men immediately in charge of the car. The biggest fool is the man who con siders himself the wisest.

CLOSED DOWN. Wilkesbarre, Sept. I7.r-The anthra cite coal miners' strike began this morning and the United Mine workers proved 'their strength and their lack of it. The Lackawanna and Wyoming districts are thoroughly tied up, with the exception of one colliery employ ing 45 men. Seventy-three thousand men are on strike in these two dis tricts. Twenty-five per cent of the workers in the Lehigh district are out, about ten per cent in the Shaimokln district, ten per cent in the Schuylkill, and hardly any in the Mahoney and Lykens Valley districts. The situation is rather doubtful, for it (is a question whether the men of the lower portion of the coal field, the districts where the minority of the workmen are on strike, will be inspired by the almost unanimous action of the Wyoming and Lackawanna men and also quit. The strike leaders claim they will. The op erators declare the union has struck its best stroke. The leaders of the min ers are somewhat disappointed over the fact that more men in some districts remained at work than they anticipat ed. There was no particular breach of the peace at any place today. SAYS STRIKE WILL NOT LAST. New York, Sept. 17. Robert M. Oli phant, president of the Delawiare and Hudson Coal company, said today of the coal strike: "I dont believe the strike can last or that it will permanently effect the price of ecual in this city. There are 140,000 men who go down to work in the mines of the anthracite coal region. In their recent statement the labor agitators declared that they had but $71,000 in their treasury. "This would mean that they can pay each of our men who go out at their order the sum of fifty cents for one day. This will not support a great strike very long."
