BY WIIA.IAM a. IsulCNARD. WIJ .N UTUJJI . G. Wkdjtesmay MoHKprG. Apriit 3. SOME HOSE OF THE RE3ULT8. We wrote something yesterday on the expressions of opinion as the effect of the capture of Aguinaldo in hasting the collapse of resistance to the United States in the Philip pine islands'. Charles Daniel, a correspondent of the Atlanta Jour nal, who takes a business-like view yiew of it, volunteers his opinions in fha f Allnwirter U WUW I tug "The march of the syndicates and corporations on the Philippines will now begin. "wunme capture and imprison ment of Emilio Aguinaldo, the Fili pino leader, the administration will within a short time establish civil arovernment in the islands. uTT-j - : 1 I A U UDUW civil rum auu ia tt a tun dozens of so called development com nanies which have been formed to ex ploit the Philippines will secure the franchises and concessions that have been promised them. "Capital will flow into the islands and the work of development, legiti- mate and otherwise, will be pushed. Until this time the insurrection car ried on by Aguinaldo has continued the necessity of maintaining a mili tary government at Manila and under military rule tne franchise grabbers could not secure the prominent con cessions they desire. "It is believed that with tne cap tare of Aguinaldo the insurrection will end and President McKinley will ' soon establish a civil form of govern ment in the islands, acting on the authority given him in the Spooner amendment to the war reorganization act passed by Congress the last days of the recent session. "Under V is act as it now stands the President will appoint a civil govern . ment commission or cabinet, and this body will act as a sort of legislative establishment until the Filipinos are permitted to hold an election and choose their own law makers in the limited manner that will be prescribed by this government. "it is the concensus or opinion in Washington that Judge Taft, the present head of the commission now in the Philippines, will bs made gov ernor general of the Philippines un Aer the civil government to be estab lished, and that several members of the existing commission will be mem bers of the cabinet. The powers of the commission or cabinet will be en larged and it will exercise legislative, executive and judicial authority. "Under this form of government the franchise grabbers will secure the val uable concessions of lands and exclu sive rights for developing the islands. it being notorious that these corpora tions. are for the most Dart, composed f 01 senators ana congressmen, politi V cians and schemers who have a power ful influence with the powers that be. ' Franchises will be farmed out and the Filipinos will witness a rush to their lands and cities the like of which they nave never areamed or. "Valuable timber and mineral prop ernes, agricultural lands and city streets and public utilities will be awarded .to these companies without price and the men behind the schemes will reap a rich harvest in the new Eldorado which they confidently ex pect the Philippines will turn out to be. - "The work of exploitation will soon begin and within the next few months the rash to the Philippines by the manipulators, schemers, speculators. nuniers win oe mara-ea. Uf course many honest settlers will move to the . .."7 . . islands, and with the end of the in surrection and the establishment of civil government the possibilities of the islands will soon be known. The Filipinos will now have to grapple "with a more powerful enemy and army than any that has yet confronted them the onward march of the mtn who seek franchises, valuable lands and concessions, and the schemers, who will fleece the innocents to the exquisite taste of a John BulL "The disposition of Aguinaido is a problem that will probably not worry the administration. The island of "Guam seems to have been selected as a sort of American St. Helena, and. like Napoleon. Cron je and other grand I warriors ana captured leaders oi wars and insurrections, Aguinaldo will doubtless be sent to Guam and im prisoned for an indefinite time, kept under heavy guard night and day . to prevent his escape or communication with the Filipino people. will not permit the Filiprio to remain I Z U . Di.:i! i 1 I a. u ioi haiu bust uio KUvormueuk in tne rniuppmes, as his presence near ms people would be a constant men ace and temptation for the Filipinos to attempt to liberate him. Aguin aldo's days in the Philippines are numbered. He will be kept in Ma nila only long enough for the news of his capture and imprisonment to spread throughout the islands in order to impress the Filipinos with the futility of making further resistance while their leader is a taptive and powerless to aid or command them in resisting the American army and government. "The talk of Aguinaldo ' being put to death for treason against the United States is absurd, f Such a thing would never be permitted by President McKinley. The army department in the Philippines may through the thirst for blood, demand that the Filipino leader be tried by courtmartial and sentenced to death, but Mr. McKinley will never consent to this. His kind ness of heart and spirit of generosity will cause a quick respite should Aguinaldo be so sentenced.' and the President will no doubt order Aguin aldo to be deported to Guam for the present", Mr. Daniel poses neither as a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but as a predictor in this case . we think he gets away with the. Rev. Ira Hicks, the St. Louis weather prognosticator. The only thing where there is any likelihood of his uums luiswtwu is iu Aguinaiao a oe ing shipped to our St. Helena," an event which may depend upon Agui-; naldo himself. If he concludes to accept the situation, take the oath of allegiance, and join in the work of pacifying the islands he will not be sent to Guam, for the Govern ment will find more and a better use for him in the Philippines, and so will the syndicates which have their eyes on them with a view to exploit ing them as soon as exploiting be comes practicable. If Aguinaldo should remain rebellious or sulky and refuse to come in and co-operate in the work, of pacification in that event they would have no use for ia the Philippines, and would proba bly, as Mr. Daniel t says, ship him to tnan - l , ' ' " . - mete ae wouia. be out of touch with Ms people :nd. could be rv eifc,wimout. trouble. . : That clause inserted in the army bill prohibiting the granting or get ting possession of concessions before the establishment of civil govern ments put the brakes on the syndi cate and other concession 'hunters, who in consequence have since been all the more anxious - and eager for the establishment of civil govern ments, and this may also" account for the, speed with which the Taft commission has been moving in that direction, j It may look like spite or narrow mindedness or nnfair partisianship to attribute the gratification at the capture of the Filipino chief to such a motive, but we know the fact that adventurers by the score have had their eyes on those islands and have already spotted the valuable proper ties upon which they proposed, to get their clamps at the very first opportunity. Some of them have had their prospectors spying ont the land and had the properties they want marked for seizure as soon as the way for grabbing was opened. A year or more ago a lumber syndi cate of which Congressman Hull, chairman fof the House Committee on Military Affairs, was a member secured concessions to large tracts of forest, where they propose to do a large business in cutting and ship ping timber, afsoon as that kind of work can be safely carried on. This was but one of a number of syndicates which had been looking ahead spying out timber lands, iron and gold mines, oil lands, coal and other properties in which they saw money, either in working or in hold ing for speculation when the rush of adventurers came. Of course the working of these properties or speculating in them depends' on the suppression of the insurrection and fce establishment of order which would make the in vestment of money and operating the properties safe. If the islands be as rich as they are represented to be, they offer a splendid field for the concession hunter and fine openings for the investment of capital in de veloping the mines, in cutting down the forests, in building railroads, running steamboats and steamships, in working hemp, tobacco and other plantations, and in the raising of cattle, for which it is said the valleys afford splendid pasturage From all accounts there are plenty of soft snaps over there for the syn dicates and others in quest of valu ables, all of whom, no doubt, are rejoicing : at the capture of Agui naldo, whose taking in will, they believe, hasten the consummation oi their schemes and the realization of their hopes. WHAT P CZZLED MB- WU. There are a 3d many things in China that the American sojourning there does not understand and a good many things in this country which a Chinaman sojourning in this country does not understand. Min ister Wu Ting Fang is a remarkably intelligent and observant gentleman; very little escapes his keen optics, and he sees more with one eye shut than most of his countrymen who have visted these shores do with both eyes open. He has seen a good many things which he does not un derstand, and during his recent visit to Chicago he saw some which filled him with astonishment, and even shocked his oriental simplicity. une oi the incidents is thus related in the Chicago Tribune: Chinese Minister Wu Ting Fane de voted yesterday to an investigation of the intellectual and esthetic side of Chicago life. He looked over the masterpieces in the Art Institute and did not attempt to conceal his surprise . r. , r at unaing young men ana women sketching from nude models. The popular diplomat, laughing and al ways interrogating, was the center of a bevy or women students the n ment he entered the classrooms. "Oh. what is that?" exclaimed ehe Oriental, pointing to a man In the nude posing as the dyine gladiator "He is a model? Do yon havj&ftnaoy like him? Why does he do th Why do these girls sketch him?" f Director French told the nsnor that the young women were studying ana tomy as concerned in sketching. m no. .lioj shuujr uaiuuij iu this way? Why should they study anatomy I" were the questions to which the minister, found . no replies. Tne party then entered a room where a class of young men were sketching from (he female figure. "Why is this?" was Minister Wu'a first question, a touch of disapproval rinding its way into his appeal. uai uucb iuu iuuuu . reprewoii Are the young men studying anatomy. too? Why do the girls study the man moaei ana the boys the woman! It does not appear from the ac count in the Tribune that Mr. Wu's inquiries were answered, for the reason, doubtless, that there wasn't anybody around just then who could give a satisfactory answer, and it dosen't seem that the person to answer has been found yet. .In. the meantime the pagan oriental will keep on wondering about the strange way they, do some things in Chicago. Colonel A; K. MoClure, the foun der and for twenty-five years the editor-in-chief and directing spirit of the Philadelphia Times, has re tired from its editorial staff, a great loss to: the Times. For fifty-five years, most if not all of the time. Colonel, McClure has ' been in edi torial harness and is entitled to a rest. But he doaen't propose to get out altogether. 1 The burning question put in Colo rado is,1 "Can a rattlesnake back He can if he want to, but if he is built right, like the rattlesnakes we have down this way, he" will not want to, but will stay ; right where he is found and fight from base. , : IET HO GUILTY UAH ESCAPE " And now it seems they have dis cussed scandalous frauds upon the Government in the Philippines. Thisis not surprising. , -Some time ago the discovery was made that a ring of army officers had been formed to gobble up and control the hemp crop, as a result of which the price of Manila hemp jumped away up, and the fellows in the ring pocketed lots of money. This was to be investigated but if investigated no report has yet been made. The last frauds discovered are in the commissary department. How extensive they are, or how many are implicated in themjis not yet known and probably never will be,for if there be any "big in j ins in it the proceedings- will be quashed before they are reached. We had been anticipating some thing like this, for some time ago we read a letter from Manila by some correspondent who referred to the high-handed robbery that was going on there, and remarked that practically unlimited stealing . i . . . was' "going on and. that many trusted officers were implicated in it. The announcement of the dis covery of these commissary frauds is accompanied by the stereotyped legend "let no guilty man escape,' which has been played until it has become a ridiculous farce that fools no one. It simply means that a few of the unimportant individuals who played the part of tools and go- betweens may be convicted and jagged, while the big thieves who rfi mstat a Iaa will ra rn gun iuvoii vj. viio xwu nut sawijiQ) stand by and exclaim "let no guilty man escape." LOOKS FOB LOW-PRICED COTTON We firmly believe, as thousands do who give thought to the subject of cotton' production and consumption, that the price the planters will re ceive for the next crop will depend mainly upon themselves. It will be high or low in proportion to the pro duction and that will depend upon the aoreage planted. The planter may not be able to control the produc tion, for that will depend upon favorable or adverse seasons, but he can and should control the acreage. In this connection we publish the following from one of our leading merchants: Wilmington, April 1st, 1901. Editor Star: Dear 8ir I noticed in your, col umns a few days ago an article advis ing people iiot to plant too much cot ton. I think it was a timely article. I think thtre will be 25 per cent, more guano sold this year and 35 per cent more land planted in cotton than the average has been for the last three years per year. If so, it looks to me . like the price oL cotton will be down to five cents buhe first of next Janu- - . m. . r m . ,. ary 11 not oeiore. xi our larmers wouia first try to make meat and brad. orf in other words, plant corn, potatoes and rice enough for home consump tion, including enough to fatten the meat that they will need for the year. and then make peanuts, cotton and tobacco as a surplus, not planting much of either, of the crops for the surplus, in that case they could afford to sell their surpius crops cheap if nee easary, having first made enough to supply their families. The cotton milHtg business looks very blue now, ana if the Asiatic war cloud does not pass away it looks like the mills will nave a hard time to make any money on cotton goods at any price they can get, so we can not expect them to pay much for cot ton, and especially when people make more than usuaL If the cotton crop was small tne factory people would be obliged to pay a higher price, because an article is often valued for its scarcity. I may be wrong, but it looks to me like we are going to have low prices for cotton next Fall, Yours truly, D. L. Gore Co. BOOK NOTICES.

It is to be hoped that the fact that franchises cannot be granted in the f hilippines nntu we give the is lands civil government has no bear? ing on the haste that has recently Deen displayed in that dTection. Atlanta Journal, Dem. The North Carolina Supreme Court justices have been vindicated. The Court therefore, deserves the respect of all good citizens.

Savannah News, Dem. According to iron master Shook of Alabama, the production of iron and steel will so far exceed the consumption by the end of. next year that there will be a great fall in prices. This takes no account of themi88ionof the Trust, which is. to keep the supply within the de mand, so as to maintain the prices at "all the public will stand' as it is doing now. Brooklyn Citizen. uem. North Carolina, we think, is to be congratulated noon the acanit- tal of the two impeached Justices of her State Supreme Court. Both of the justices are Republicans, and in view of the changed political con ditions m the State, a conviction would have been ascribed by outside spectators to partisanry. There would have been an impression that the Democrats, had carried their great victory too far and had used it for purposes of punishment.

Wkat Tfcla Gastronomic Criminal At mm A How It Impressed an Observer, "With Some Remarks on Appetite and Moderation. The usual thoughtful person who will spend ao hour studying the ant at his toil will disregard his fellow being stuffing- at the table d'hote opposite him. It is a great mistake to let any hour go by without analyzing and dissecting the human thingB around you. Impressed with this notion we earnest ly, but politely, studied the fat lady as she came to eat. She sat down and breathed heavily. That heavy breathing told of asthmatic tendencies due to an overloaded stom ach and it prophesied an early ending t a placid life.' It meant that she should, fast moderately for a month. All fat people have some queer con tradiction about them. This fat lady had for belt buckle a bronze plate four iVes as big as a sil ver dollar. ' On the xronze plate in relief was the bust of -a thin, scrawny, bony, spirituelle girL High in the air the fat lady Kid her three pink chins. Below at her belt and far out of her sight was the bronze relief of a woman as a woman should be. In the 'old days of knightly -frankness it would hare been proper to lean for ward and snj: "Beautiful fat lady, radiant being, if you will you can be as scrawny, health ful and pleasing as the thin thing at your belt." But in these days such frank talk will not do. We could only sit and watch sadly. "Oysters," said the lady, and ate them, breathing hard and tugging pitifully with her lungs at her cruel corset strings. "Mock turtle soup," said she, and ate that. Then her breath was a little bit shorter and her face a shade pinker. "I think I'll have some fish." She ate half a flounder, called a "sole" by cour tesy. "Lobster." "Boast beef." "Potatoes." "Corn." "Beets" no one can digest them. "Sweet potatoes." "Punch, with curacoa." This eats ont your stomach's lining. "Broiled quail on toast." "Lettuce and tomato salad." All these she ordered and ate conscltn- tiously. The waiter could have shamed Poe's raven with his solemn, impassive filling of a vast void. He showed no signs of mirth, amazement, rage or Impatience, bet only said: "What else, lady?" The lady said: "I don't care for anything else lost give me some ice cream and cheese and crackers-and a cud of coffee." She was an agreeable losKina fat ladv. She was tidy, fairly intelligent in appear ance; had evidently been subject all her life to Christian .influences. Undoubtedly, somewhere in this world. some one loves her, ana to that person she says quite often: "Dear me, I wish I did not a-etttao stout. I don't know what to do." The kind admirer says: "I don't think you're stout." The poor fat thing breathes heavily, but more happily, and eats in the same rep tilian xasmon tne next day. we are perfectly well aware that soma tat people do not eat a great dealthat they get fat in spite of all efforts. But they are exceptions, and. besides, we call their attention kindly to the fact that fat not made of air, but of food, and that if they eat less they will weigh less. W have no hope that many will re form at our bidding, but none the less we paint this picture from life for their con templation.,: . ; : -1 -. .

French knots are as commonly used for dress decoration as they were last spring. Bands of lace insertion alternated with tucked bands of- gray silk form effective waists., The tricorne hat in soft felt trimmed with silk or velvet and unique oriental buckles is a popular model. Red velvet applique designs embroid ered with gold are the decoration on the bolero of a white taffeta silk waist. Something pretty for evening wraps Is a silk iuntebesse, soft, thick, light and 'warm, whieu comes in pretty pale shades. Fancy buttons set with imitation gems are shown ingreat profusion In the shops, and no doubt their particu lar usefulness wlir become manifest later on. ' feea gulls are used for the body of chiffon muffs" and fancy small cape col lars to match, one gull on either shoul der, the heads pointing, down on the bust. Two birds are also used for the muff, with chiffon frills at either end- Scotch and Irish tweeds very light in weight and pliant In texture, with a white thread woVen in on the surface, giving a frieze, effect, have a place among the nev dress materials. The colors are very attractive. A rough, material called frieze, sub dued by a surface of white hair, seems to be one of the smart materials' for ' winter.? These rough fabrics are usual ly trimmed liberally with bands of silk or satin covered with rows of stitching, or with some of the fancy braids.

New York, April 2--Tbe cotton market opened steady at unchanged E rices to an advance of three points, ut developed a weak undertone, cables not responding to the satis faction .. of the trade here. For a time the market ruled quiet, but suddenly developed increased activity and strength on buying started by a Greek house and supplemented by considerable activity ior other suostantial houses on invest ment account. This led shorts to Cover freely and prices moved up five to seventeen points from the lowest to the highest figures, with May selling from 7.83 to 8 GO and being.the firmest on the list. Talk of a corner in May was not taken seriously although it is claimed that on the present relation of prices between the Southern and the New York markets the amount of certificates cotton at New York will not exceed fifty thous and bales on May first. The market was finally steady at a net advance of two to twelve points on futures and ic advance on spots. The movement of cotton keeps well and this restrained buying to some extent New York.
