V READY REPLY jy Col. Norton to the Unwarranted AttccUs of a Morning Newspaper. all honor to democrats flflio Surrender Party Affiliations and Stand by Their Flag and Country. A }Jo Deslro to Abuso His Fellow Citizens?Strong Testimony of an Invalided Officer, Who Has Always Been a Democrat. To the Editor of the Intelllgenccr. SIR:?When I published in-the Intelligencer, of the 22nd Instant an obituary nolice at:the gallant Captain Mitchell, who, with his command of a single , company of the Fifteenth United * States Infantry, was surrounded by S00 Fllplnos, under.General Callles, near Slnaloan, Island of Luzon, on September 15, and after a desperate battle, lasting for several hours drove the enemy off the field with'a* loss of 25 per ^ cent engaged, Including- both commis w?.v?-io V?i. cue WUIliimuy, Ullll when I criticised the acts of certain cltzens of the United States who. have Iw^en holding treasonable correspondcr.ee with, the Philippine Insurgent commanders, I did'not intend to,provolie a 'controversy with the editor of the Register, and did not intend any reflection on the patriotism and loyalty of any respectable Democrat, for I recognize that there are some members of that party who aro just as loyal, just V as patriotic and just as solicitous for the welfare of our army and the honor and Integrity of our government as any Republican, and many of these men testified their devotion to principle on a purely domestic arid financial issue when they believed.their party to ba wrong." ' No 'stronger* proof of patriotism and fidelity .to country could be irtven than to surrender party affiliations, and I honor all Democrats who now/on a much greater Issue stand by their rflag and country."" Undue Haste of a Newspaper. Therefore I must express my surprise at the haste of. the Register In accusinar.mp nf a flpslm to "nhnsp mv fpllntv citizens" who may differ with me on the policy of the administration in its effort to establish peace and order in the Philippine archipelago, and maintain our rights under a treaty with a sovereign power, which treaty was approved and ratified by the aid of Democratic votes In the United' States senate, by and with the urgent advice and Influence of Mr. Bryan himself, who was then patriotically serving his country in a military capacity in prosecuting a war for the liberation of the oppressed subjects of Spain. My denunciation and criticism was not directed at any of my "fellow citizens," all of whom have a perfect right guaranteed 16 them by the Constitution to discuss all public questions affecting the national welfare, but It was Intended to expose and hold.upto public execration those "so-called citizens who, Influenced solely by partisan prejudice are not content to confine their opposition to rational argument at home, but who engage 1 In treasonable 'communication, with the armed enemies of?their country, and have urged the Filipinos to resume hostllltes against bur army, and continue their attacks upon our troops until after the approaching presidential election, when they promise, in the event of the election of Mr. Bryan, he will .withdraw our army and abandon the Philippine Islands to their fate. The minds of human and civilized ' beings shrink from the contemplation of the dreadful results of such a policy. To surrender the government of the Philippines to the treacherous and blondthirsty Tagalos would mean the exile or execution of all the intelligent and progressive Filipinos, who have accepted American protection, and the Inauguration of a state of anarchy so appalling that tiic; Island, of Cut a when under Spanish domination would be a.?? a paradise compared to the conditions that "would"then prevail, and either the United States or some other civilized power would be compelled to forcibly intervene, and restore public order. Spirit of Philanthropy Wanting. What has become of the broad spirit of philanthropy that actuated the rank and file of the Democratic party when they vociferously demanded wc should wage a war against Spain for the liberation of the Inhabitants of Cuba? Have they no longer any sympathy with the oppressed, and by demanding the relinquishment of our sovereignty in the Philippines do they really want to relegate the millions of Filplnos to a condition of barbarism unparalleled in history. I do'not think the American people will thus shirk their duty and responsibility to mankind. As I do not often engage In public discussion, and as the statements made by me in the communication to the IntelllRtncer may be 'doubted or disputed by the Register or some of Its correspondents, I hereby append the testimony of a commissioned otllcer of the army, Wv*ut. Harry A. Ely, of the Forty-sixth volunteer Infantry, who was Invalided homo after partly recovering from an attack of smallpox and yellow fever, and who, upon his arrival In New York Inst Tuesday, published'the following statement in the New York Sun of September 21. uteutenant tuty says tnai letters nave been found on tlond und llvliuj Filipinos written over the signatures of well known persons In this country, advising the Insurgents' to keep up the wr.r until after election day. This advice was couched in. the strongest terms, nnd In 'several Instance* It was given In circulars, prepared and ncnt out by an organization In thin country, and some of them* treasonable communication:* have boon turned over to the war department, which has not. sls yet. seen * fit to make them public. Refuses to Vote With His Party. l?i^utt?riant Ely 1* a Democrat, but fjy* he will not vote with his party this year. He served eleven years In be National Guard, and In the Hpanlsh served In the Fourth Nwf Jers?-y Voitf,-..?nr. Ho went to the Philippines hi* rrgiment as nr*t lieutenant, " l ?a? Ntatlone-.l at Minila and In ' Mh'-rn f.u&>n. He further suya; aii of tha pa pars f jumJ wertr of tin J most treasonable character. .It wc literature, which, If It had been foun on Filipinos, friendly or bthcrwls would have led to their being court martialed and hanged. Martial la prevails In the Philippines, and this done with any one found harboring c assisting the enemy in any way. Noai ly all the letters have been of the snrr tenor. The writers state the consul sus of opinion of a majority of the cli :izens of the United States Is oppose to holding . the. Philippine, and that the Insurgents continue their warfan no. matter how unfavorable the cond tlons may be now, until after the Nc vember election, there will undoubtedl be a change of administration, and the Mr. Brjttn has .promised that upon hi being elected, the Philippines will I evacuated by the United States troop Agulnaldo "Would Flee. "There is no doubt in my mind, an every officer in the Philippines will sa , 'the same thing, that if it were not fc the support given them in this cour try the insurgents would lay down the: arms, and Agulnaldo would flee to Ch! na. We have his cabinet now, an we have most of the leaders, and thej are pieauing with Agulnaldo to come 1 and give himself up. Tho staiemor .that there Is no longer organized rcslsl 'ance Is a true one. ' A band of 600 c '800 that Is sometimes mentioned In die patches Is without what'might be call ed a military leader. They are n longer under, generals or officers c what was once their army. They ai gufcrrllla bands, and choose their ow leader, and make an attack upon som small detachment. That In a mllltar sense Is no more than an organized rc sistance than are the Sicilian bandltt There will always be a lot oC thes bands, Just as there are In Italy, an soltllers will be needed ' to suppres -them." Testimony of Democratic Soldier. Here Is the testimony of a patriot! Democratic soldier, and he Is the soi of an American citizen whom we dellgl: to honor, and will defend against th machinations of his enemies who shot at him in front, as well as from th cowardly attacks of renegades in th . rear. ,f; In conclusion, I-beg to say that; do not wish-to hide behind a nom-dr plume or conceal my Identity, as th writer of the article that has so muc excited the Register's editorial Ire, an I therefore sign my full name In thl letter. I now ask the Register, wit equal frankness, to inform the publl .whether or not It approves of the act of those disloyal citizens who, accord Ing to the testimony of honorable oill ccrs, are encouraging the Filplnoa t continue their resistance, and kill ou American soldiers, who, In the execu Hon of their sworn duty, are obeyin the orders of the commander-in-chief c our army. If this Is answered affirm atively, then all I have said applies t him, and to all who justify and uphol such views. .Very respectfully, T. II.'NORTON. Wheeling, Sept. 24. FINANCE AND TRADE.

The market found some support frot sundry causes at times to-day, an prices were at one time lifted to level quite substantially over that c Saturday at the close. Weakness pet slated In somo Individual stacks, an early in the afternoon put a stop to th advancing tendency of prices, so tha the closing was heavy and dull, wit only a few net gains remaining. Th special points of weakness were Ptc pie's Gas jind Brooklyn Transit, th former dropping below 83 before th close, and the latter touching 48, bot being the low prices on the presen movement. This late weakness had sympathetic effect elsewhere amon the specialties, Tobacco, Sugar and th New York public utilities being notabl affected. The steel stocks were prom inent in the early strength of the mar ket on account of a settlement for th coming year for the scale of wages. Several stocks in the group wer marked up from 1 per cent to 1% pc cent. Tennessee Coal came unde pressure under the advance, und wa marked down 4 points, but rallied ove a point, and closed with a net loss of 1} per cent. The whole group yielded t some extent, with the later weakness 1 the market. The rally In the murk?: was due In no small part to. coverlr. demand from the shorts, and to th absence from the board room of som of the Inlluential bear traders, on ac count of the Jewish holiday. The re sumption of mining in some of the cod mines had a rather bracing effect o the market, and published estimates o the available reserves of coal alread mined, detracted somewhat from un easiness over the effects of the strlkt but there was no radical change in th spirit of the speculation, and the under tone of sentiment continued decided! apprehensive of the future of the mone market. The failure of a stock ex uiiiiiiKv ?rm was unimportant in itseil but the exhaustion of customer*' mar Klr.H and their failure to oxtpnd then which waa assigned na the cause, at traded some attention. It Is a. matte of notoriety that many brokers hav demanded an extension of margin fo their customers, and no small part c last week's liquidation Is attributed t that cause.
