Attacking tht* 4»ov«raiuent.
LONUOX,
Oct. iiH.—The third reading
of the appropriation bill in the house ot
commons gave an opportunity fo« fur
ther attacks un the government's war
policy. Gavin Brown Clark, radical,
formerly consul general of the Trans
vaal, accused the secretary of state for
the colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, of pub
lishing an emasculated version of the
Boer franchise bill passed by the volks
raad.
Mr. Chamberlain tartly repudiated
this. He said the bill wa9 published
exactly as received from Secretary ot
State Reits. Thomas Gibson Kowles,
conservative member for Lynn Regis,
referred to the heavy military task be
fore the government, aud said he feared
the foreign powers would take ad
vantage of Great Britain's difficulties to
make an attempt upon h«-r possessions.
All the great powers, except Austria,
he averted, hated treat Britain.
Mr. ,Lloyd-G**urge, radical member
,*r the Carnarvon district declared tlv®
offers of the Transvaal had been mis
represented, whereupon Mr. Chamber
lain jumped up and protested, and the
speaker, Mr. William Court Gully, in
tervened. Mr. Lloyd-George then
withdrew his expression regarding mis
representation.
The session was thf»n suspended until
2 p. m. When the house reassembled
the queen's speech was read and parlia
ment was

8T. PAU,. Oct. 2^.—The supreme
lias given a decision sustaining
the Grindeland law which wasattacked
by the cuiuiui^sion men in the grain and
produco business as unconstitutional.
Justice Collins wrote the opinion.
Tho law went into effect June 1 and
charged the railroad and warehouse
commission to see that grain and pro
duce commission men took out licenses
for
purposes of registration, and g.ie
bonds for the protection of their con
signors, and made reports to the shipier
of sales.
This decision makes all commission
tnen liable to prosecution who fail
promptly to take out license and make
the required reports of their sales.
The objections to the law were that
it was class legislation, that it denied
equal protection of the laws, that
deprived some of the right against un
reasonable search and. seizure, that it
compelled some to be witnesses against
themselves in criminal cases, that
meddled with interstate commerce.
Most of the points are met by a sin
gle negative in the opinion. The mam
discussion is whether it is

Cannot Be Received Officially or
Diplomatically—He Has a
Memorial.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—A special to
The World from Washington says:
Secretary of State Hay, when asked if
Sen or Regidor, the Filipino envoy,
would be permitted to appear before
the Philippine commission said:
"I have heard that he contemplated
visiting the United States, and would
present some such plan as that out
lined by the newspapers. He would
have no official or diplomatic status in
Washington, either as the agent of the
Filipino insurgents or as a diplomatic
representative of the so-called Filipino
government. The question of his being
heard by the Philippine peace commis
sion rests entirely with the commission.
The state department is not concerned
in the matter in any way."
The basis of demands of the Filipinos
I for the establishment of an independent
government will be contained in a
memorial to be filed with the commis
sion as coming from a number of lead
ing residents of several of the larger
islands in the Philippine archipelago,
representing various races and not by
auy means confined to the Filipino.
MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1899.
This memorial will recite that the
Filipino government which was estab
lished June In. lsjs. was directly in
spired by the example of the United
States that at the time of the adoption
of the so-called government, the native:
who were in a majority aud by even
right should govern the islands, found
themselves supeiior in position as to
their control of their country to that of
the Americans when the American
declaration of independence was framed.
The memorial will plead that this
country should not repudiate an exam
ple based upon its own experience in re
sisting conditions similar to those which
the United States contested a century
ago.
The Filipino envoy, Senor Regidor,
will, it is said, not confine himself to
diplomatic representations, If he is re
fused an official status he will immedi
ately start a newspaper propaganda,
much after the fashion of that insti
tuted by the Cuban junta during the
early years of their war.
He will endeavor to. have literature
favorable to the Filipinos published in
the Congressional Record which will
be distributed throughout the country
and in this manner arouse sympathy for
his people. _____
