PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Summary of President jlcKinley ^lossage to Congress. Thc third annual message to C gress of President William Melvin submitted to that body December I is the longest document yet issued the President. Thc message will tract widespread attention becaus* deals with the new conditions brou about by the accession of new te tory resulting from the Spanish An ican war, and because it will bc garded as the plea ol' the Republl party for the support of the Amerii people in the presidential election next year. That the message is int esting throughout and is well wo reading, despite its great length, th is no doubt. It is given in full, w for word, in The Journal to day, mainlines are summarized below: The president begins by stating tl on the threshold of the deliberalic of Congress the members are call upon to mourn with their countrym the death o:c Vice President Hoba paying tribute to che worth of t :'<r dead statesman. The president next declares unqu ifiedly for the gold standard. On-tl momentous question, he says: "I urgently recommend that to su port the existing gold standard and maintain 'the party value of the coi of the t >vo metals (gold and silve: and the equal power of every dollar all times in the market and in tl payment of dehts,' the secretary the treasury be given additional pow and charged with the duty to s< United States bonds and to emph such other effective means as may 1 necessary to these ends." Mr. McKinley next discusses tl subject' of an American merchat marine, and earnestly recommenc that steps bc taken by Congress i encourage and aidintheestablishmer of a great marine, seemingly endor ing the proposed ship subsidy mo vt ment without raying so clearly. Perhaps there is no greater surpris in the message than the President' . reference to the trusts. He plací his administration squarely in opp( sition to *he combinations of trade On this s jject he says: "Combinations of capital organize into trusts to control the conditions c trade among the citizens, to stifi competition, limit production and de termine the prices of products use* and consumed by the people, are just ly provoking public discussion am should early claim tfhe attention o Congress." Coming to the Transvaal-Britisl war, the President seemingly rebukei in no uncertain tones the recent utter anees of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain British colonial secretary, and Mr Joseph Choate, United States ambas sador to England, proclaiming thal this country and England are practi cally in alliance. The President re¬ affirms the time-honored doctrine that this country shall remain free from entangling foreign alliances. He says: "This government has maintained an attitude of neutrality in the unfor¬ tunate contest between Great Britain and the Boer States of Africa. We have remained faithful to the precept of avoiding entangling alliances as to affairs not of our direct concern. Had circumstances suggested that the par¬ ties to the quarrel would have wel¬ comed any kindly expression of the hope of the American people that war might be averted, good offices would have been tendered." Coming to the acquisition of Porto Rico and discussing the Cuban ques¬ tion, the President dv ells on the des¬ tiny of both countries, recommending the establishment of a civil govern¬ ment for Porto Rico as rapidly as pos¬ sible and the raising of the custom duties on exports of that island. He declares that the island of Cuba, which is temporarily under the protection of the United States, must be turned over to the people of the is.'and as soon as a stable government can bc formed, reaffirming the purpose of the government declared prior to the Spanish war that the people of Cuba would be given their freedom and the yoke of Spanish rule swept away. He says this pledge is of the highest hon¬ orable obligation and must be sacredly kept. Then he speaks of the intimacy which must exist between America and Cuba and of the destiny of the is¬ land, declaring we must protect the people. The President relegated the Philip¬ pines question away to the rear of his message, but it can be clearly discern¬ ed that he intends what he says on this subject to be regarded as the most important part of the document. He begins on the question by referring to the treaty of peace between Spain and the United States signed Decem¬ ber 10th, 1898, by which Spain ceded to this country the Philippine Islands in consideration of $20,000,000 and peace. He declares on this ques¬ tion: "The islands were ceded by the government of Spain, which had been in undisputed possession of them for centuries. "They were accepted not merely by our authorized agents in Paris under the direction of thc executive, but by ; the Constitutional and well considered action of the Représentative» of the people in both houses of Congress. I had every reason to believe and I stili believe that this transfer of sovereign¬ ty was in accordance with the wishes and the aspirations of the great mass of the Filipino people. "On the 21st of December, after the treaty was signed, the commander of the forces of occupation was instruct¬ ed to announce and proclaim in the most public manner that we came, not as invaders cand conquerors, but as friends, to protect the natives in their homes, in their employment and in their personal and religious rights.' " "It is enough to say that the claim of the rebel leader that he was prom¬ ised independence by any officer of the United States in return for his assist¬ ance has no foundation in fact and is categorically denied by the very wit¬ nesses who were called to prove it. The most the insurgent leader hoped for »vheo he came to Manila was the liberation of the islands from thc Spanish control, which they had been laboring for years without success to throw off. "The future government of the Philippines rests with the Congress of the United States. If we accept them in a spirit worthy of our race and our traditions, a great opportunity comes with them. The islands lie under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They cannot be abandoned. If we desert them, we leave them at once to anar¬ chy and finally barbarism. "We fling them, a golden apple of discord, among the rival powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. "Their rich plains and valleys would be the scene of endless strife and bloodshed. The advent of Dew¬ ey's fleet in Manila bay, instead of being, as we hope, the dawn of a new day of freedom and progress, will have been the beginning of an era of misery and violence worse than any which has darkened their unhappy past. The suggestion has bern made that we could renounce our authority over the islands, and giving them indepen¬ dence, could retain a protectorate over them. This proposition will not be found, I am sure, worthy of your serious attention. Such au arrange¬ ment would involve at thc outset a cruel breach of faith. It would place the peaceful and loyal majority, who ask for nothing better than to accept our authority, at the mercy of the minority armed insurgent. It would make us responsible for the acts of the insurgent leaders and give us no power to control them. It would charge us with the task of protecting them against each other and defending them against any foreign power with which they choose to quarrel. In short, it would take from the Congress of the United States the power of de¬ claring war and vest that tremendous prerogative in the Tagalo leader of the hour.-Atlanta Journal.

Desperate Fight Between Constables and George Howard. Col it mb ut State. GREENVILLE, Dec. 5.-This after¬ noon between *i and 5 o'clock a desper¬ ate fight took place at thc bridge over thc Southern railway on thc road to Paris mountain, two miles from thc heart of thc city, between Constables Cornwell and Cooley of thc State constabulary, and George Howard, whose home is just outside the city limits, on the duncombe road near thc Sampson and Poe cotton mill. It seems that Cornwell and Cooley were ou the scent of whiskey wagons and met George Howard with another man coming from towards the mountains, but there is no acurate information as to what took place except that shoot¬ ing began without any unnecessary delay, resulting in George Howard re¬ ceiving a mortal wound, Cornwell be¬ ing severely, if not fatally, wounded, and Cooley receiving a shot through the thigh. Cornwell was brought to the Windsor hotel, where physicians were called immediately and he was put under the influence of chloroform. He was suffering so much that he could not give any account of thc trouble, but said he felt certain that shot from his pistol killed Howard. This is said to be a mistake, however, and that Howard is still alive, though there is no hope for his recovery.- Cooley's wound is not considered dangerous and he will probably sur¬ vive the combat. The man who was with Howard is unknown as yet, and it is said that he made a quick escape. Howard formerly lived in the Dark Corner, but recently has made his home near town. He is a cripple, about 45 years old and has a family. Later.-The shooting affray this af¬ ternoon took place in a piece of woods near the Paris mountain road, just before it crosses thc Southern railway. George Howard was there with his unknown companion, who had driven a covered wagon into thc woods this morning. The constables were out on a raid, and circled around the wagon. One of tnem discovered liquor kegs and notified thc other. Cooley took charge of the liquor and carried it to his buggy, while Cornwell approached the men. who were sitting on thc ground before a fire near thc wagon. The men surrendered without resis¬ tance and Howard says that Cornwell took hold of him, at which he remon¬ strated, telling him that the liquor belonged to thc other man, but that Cornwell again seized him. After saying this much he declined to talk any more. Cornwell has said that Howard in¬ formed him that he was not armed, but that Howard opened fire on him, which.he returned at close range, in¬ flicting five wounds, and when Howard was found on the roadside by his nephew his overcoat was afire from the powder of Cornwell's pistol. Cooley was putting a keg in the buggy on the opposite side from where the others were standing, and says he was fired upon when his back was to¬ wards them. He thinks it was the man who ran away that shot him, and says the fire was repeated almost in¬ stantly. He raised up and fired a rifle at Howard and then emptied his re¬ volver at him. Howard was wounded five times, the most serious of which is in the left breast, just below the nipple, the bullet going in straight, and the doc¬ tors are afraid to probe for it. He was taken to his home on thc Poe hill, and the physicians injected nitro-gly¬ cerine to keep his heart fcoing and prevent a collapse, while they were examining his wounds. It is thought he cannot live through the night. Cornwell's wounds are also consid¬ ered fatal, thc ball passing through his intestines, and 'the physicians do not express any hope of his recovery. He was married about two months ago in Chester county and his wife is seriously ill at their home, which caused him to be taken to thc hotel. Cornwell walked about 50 yards on the road to town before he fell, and when Cooley found him on the side of the road he was too weak to get into the buggy. Cooley then hastened to town for assistance, which was speedily given. Howard walked 100 yards before he gave up and when his nephew came to him on the roadside driving a wagon out of town on his way home Howard informed him very coolly that he had been in a shooting scrape and was cer¬ tain that he had shot one of the con¬ stables. Cornwell is unconscious at 10 o'clock and result is uncertain. The Greenville News of the 8th inst, says: Two of the men engaged in Tues¬ day's battle between moonshiners and dispensary constables died yesterday from their wounds. Constable John B. Cornwell, whose serious wound was in his abdomen, expired at his room in the Windsor hotel a few minutes af ter 2 a. m.. and "Little George'' Howard, whose mortal wound was ;- his left chest near the heart, breathed his last at the Poe mill village at 3 p. m. Neither made a dying declara¬ tion.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

Summary of President jlcKinley^lossage to Congress.

Thc third annual message to Cgress of President William Melvinsubmitted to that body December Iis the longest document yet issuedthe President. Thc message willtract widespread attention becaus*deals with the new conditions brouabout by the accession of new te

tory resulting from the Spanish Anican war, and because it will bcgarded as the plea ol' the Republlparty for the support of the Ameriipeople in the presidential electionnext year. That the message is intesting throughout and is well wo

reading, despite its great length, this no doubt. It is given in full, wfor word, in The Journal to day,mainlines are summarized below:The president begins by stating tl

on the threshold of the deliberalicof Congress the members are callupon to mourn with their countrymthe death o:c Vice President Hobapaying tribute to che worth of t

:'<r dead statesman.The president next declares unqu

ifiedly for the gold standard. On-tlmomentous question, he says:"I urgently recommend that to su

port the existing gold standard andmaintain 'the party value of the coiof the t >vo metals (gold and silve:and the equal power of every dollarall times in the market and in tlpayment of dehts,' the secretarythe treasury be given additional powand charged with the duty to s<

United States bonds and to emphsuch other effective means as may 1necessary to these ends."Mr. McKinley next discusses tl

subject' of an American merchatmarine, and earnestly recommenc

that steps bc taken by Congress i

encourage and aidintheestablishmerof a great marine, seemingly endoring the proposed ship subsidy movt

ment without raying so clearly.Perhaps there is no greater surpris

in the message than the President'. reference to the trusts. He plací

his administration squarely in opp(sition to *he combinations of tradeOn this s jject he says:"Combinations of capital organize

into trusts to control the conditions c

trade among the citizens, to stificompetition, limit production and determine the prices of products use*

and consumed by the people, are justly provoking public discussion am

should early claim tfhe attention o

Congress."Coming to the Transvaal-Britisl

war, the President seemingly rebukeiin no uncertain tones the recent utteranees of Mr. Joseph ChamberlainBritish colonial secretary, and MrJoseph Choate, United States ambassador to England, proclaiming thalthis country and England are practically in alliance. The President re¬

affirms the time-honored doctrinethat this country shall remain freefrom entangling foreign alliances. Hesays:

"This government has maintainedan attitude of neutrality in the unfor¬tunate contest between Great Britainand the Boer States of Africa. Wehave remained faithful to the preceptof avoiding entangling alliances as toaffairs not of our direct concern. Hadcircumstances suggested that the par¬ties to the quarrel would have wel¬comed any kindly expression of thehope of the American people that war

might be averted, good offices wouldhave been tendered."Coming to the acquisition of Porto

Rico and discussing the Cuban ques¬tion, the President dv ells on the des¬tiny of both countries, recommendingthe establishment of a civil govern¬ment for Porto Rico as rapidly as pos¬sible and the raising of the custom

duties on exports of that island. Hedeclares that the island of Cuba, whichis temporarily under the protection ofthe United States, must be turnedover to the people of the is.'and as

soon as a stable government can bcformed, reaffirming the purpose ofthe government declared prior to theSpanish war that the people of Cubawould be given their freedom and theyoke of Spanish rule swept away. Hesays this pledge is of the highest hon¬orable obligation and must be sacredlykept. Then he speaks of the intimacywhich must exist between Americaand Cuba and of the destiny of the is¬land, declaring we must protect thepeople.The President relegated the Philip¬

pines question away to the rear of hismessage, but it can be clearly discern¬ed that he intends what he says on

this subject to be regarded as themost important part of the document.He begins on the question by referringto the treaty of peace between Spainand the United States signed Decem¬ber 10th, 1898, by which Spain cededto this country the Philippine Islandsin consideration of $20,000,000 andpeace. He declares on this ques¬tion:"The islands were ceded by the

government of Spain, which had beenin undisputed possession of them forcenturies."They were accepted not merely by

our authorized agents in Paris under

the direction of thc executive, but by; the Constitutional and well consideredaction of the Représentative» of thepeople in both houses of Congress. Ihad every reason to believe and I stilibelieve that this transfer of sovereign¬ty was in accordance with the wishesand the aspirations of the great mass

of the Filipino people."On the 21st of December, after the

treaty was signed, the commander ofthe forces of occupation was instruct¬ed to announce and proclaim in themost public manner that we came, not

as invaders cand conquerors, but as

friends, to protect the natives in theirhomes, in their employment and intheir personal and religious rights.' "

"It is enough to say that the claimof the rebel leader that he was prom¬ised independence by any officer of theUnited States in return for his assist¬ance has no foundation in fact and iscategorically denied by the very wit¬nesses who were called to prove it.The most the insurgent leader hopedfor »vheo he came to Manila was theliberation of the islands from thcSpanish control, which they had beenlaboring for years without success to

throw off."The future government of the

Philippines rests with the Congress ofthe United States. If we accept themin a spirit worthy of our race and our

traditions, a great opportunity comes

with them. The islands lie under theshelter of our flag. They are ours byevery title of law and equity. Theycannot be abandoned. If we desertthem, we leave them at once to anar¬

chy and finally barbarism. "We flingthem, a golden apple of discord, amongthe rival powers, no one of whichcould permit another to seize themunquestioned.

"Their rich plains and valleyswould be the scene of endless strifeand bloodshed. The advent of Dew¬ey's fleet in Manila bay, instead ofbeing, as we hope, the dawn of a new

day of freedom and progress, will havebeen the beginning of an era of miseryand violence worse than any whichhas darkened their unhappy past.The suggestion has bern made thatwe could renounce our authority over

the islands, and giving them indepen¬dence, could retain a protectorateover them. This proposition will notbe found, I am sure, worthy of yourserious attention. Such au arrange¬ment would involve at thc outset a

cruel breach of faith. It would placethe peaceful and loyal majority, whoask for nothing better than to acceptour authority, at the mercy of theminority armed insurgent. It wouldmake us responsible for the acts ofthe insurgent leaders and give us no

power to control them. It wouldcharge us with the task of protectingthem against each other and defendingthem against any foreign power withwhich they choose to quarrel. Inshort, it would take from the Congressof the United States the power of de¬

claring war and vest that tremendousprerogative in the Tagalo leader ofthe hour.-Atlanta Journal.

MOKE BLOODSHED.

Desperate Fight Between Constablesand George Howard.

Col itmb ut State.

GREENVILLE, Dec. 5.-This after¬noon between *i and 5 o'clock a desper¬ate fight took place at thc bridge over

thc Southern railway on thc road to

Paris mountain, two miles from thcheart of thc city, between ConstablesCornwell and Cooley of thc Stateconstabulary, and George Howard,whose home is just outside the citylimits, on the duncombe road near

thc Sampson and Poe cotton mill. Itseems that Cornwell and Cooley were

ou the scent of whiskey wagons andmet George Howard with another man

coming from towards the mountains,but there is no acurate information as

to what took place except that shoot¬ing began without any unnecessarydelay, resulting in George Howard re¬

ceiving a mortal wound, Cornwell be¬ing severely, if not fatally, wounded,and Cooley receiving a shot throughthe thigh. Cornwell was brought to

the Windsor hotel, where physicianswere called immediately and he was

put under the influence of chloroform.He was suffering so much that hecould not give any account of thctrouble, but said he felt certain thatshot from his pistol killed Howard.This is said to be a mistake, however,and that Howard is still alive, thoughthere is no hope for his recovery.-

Cooley's wound is not considereddangerous and he will probably sur¬

vive the combat.The man who was with Howard is

unknown as yet, and it is said that hemade a quick escape.Howard formerly lived in the Dark

Corner, but recently has made hishome near town. He is a cripple,about 45 years old and has a family.Later.-The shooting affray this af¬

ternoon took place in a piece of woodsnear the Paris mountain road, justbefore it crosses thc Southern railway.George Howard was there with hisunknown companion, who had drivena covered wagon into thc woods thismorning. The constables were out ona raid, and circled around the wagon.One of tnem discovered liquor kegsand notified thc other. Cooley tookcharge of the liquor and carried it to

his buggy, while Cornwell approachedthe men. who were sitting on thcground before a fire near thc wagon.The men surrendered without resis¬tance and Howard says that Cornwelltook hold of him, at which he remon¬

strated, telling him that the liquorbelonged to thc other man, but thatCornwell again seized him. Aftersaying this much he declined to talkany more.

Cornwell has said that Howard in¬formed him that he was not armed,but that Howard opened fire on him,which.he returned at close range, in¬flicting five wounds, and when Howardwas found on the roadside by hisnephew his overcoat was afire fromthe powder of Cornwell's pistol.

Cooley was putting a keg in thebuggy on the opposite side from wherethe others were standing, and says hewas fired upon when his back was to¬

wards them. He thinks it was theman who ran away that shot him, andsays the fire was repeated almost in¬stantly. He raised up and fired a rifleat Howard and then emptied his re¬

volver at him.Howard was wounded five times, the

most serious of which is in the leftbreast, just below the nipple, thebullet going in straight, and the doc¬tors are afraid to probe for it. Hewas taken to his home on thc Poe hill,and the physicians injected nitro-gly¬cerine to keep his heart fcoing andprevent a collapse, while they were

examining his wounds. It is thoughthe cannot live through the night.

Cornwell's wounds are also consid¬ered fatal, thc ball passing throughhis intestines, and 'the physicians donot express any hope of his recovery.He was married about two monthsago in Chester county and his wife isseriously ill at their home, whichcaused him to be taken to thc hotel.Cornwell walked about 50 yards on theroad to town before he fell, and whenCooley found him on the side of theroad he was too weak to get into thebuggy. Cooley then hastened to town

for assistance, which was speedilygiven.Howard walked 100 yards before he

gave up and when his nephew came

to him on the roadside driving a wagonout of town on his way home Howardinformed him very coolly that he hadbeen in a shooting scrape and was cer¬

tain that he had shot one of the con¬

stables.Cornwell is unconscious at 10

o'clock and result is uncertain.The Greenville News of the 8th

inst, says:Two of the men engaged in Tues¬

day's battle between moonshiners anddispensary constables died yesterdayfrom their wounds. Constable JohnB. Cornwell, whose serious wound was

in his abdomen, expired at his room

in the Windsor hotel a few minutesaf ter 2 a. m.. and "Little George''Howard, whose mortal wound was ;-

his left chest near the heart, breathedhis last at the Poe mill village at 3 p.m. Neither made a dying declara¬tion.
