the treaty was signed at Paris and con
tinues to thia time. Our duty require
us to suppress this insurrection and to
establish peace and order there.
"With the restoration of peace and
order there I take it for granted that
congress will provide government for
the people of the islands in the spirit of
liberty and justice and witli a view to
their highest possible civilization. Here
tofore, when possessions have been
quired by the United
dealt w ith the people residing in those
lerritoriet in the spirit of liberty and
justice, which prevaila in our constitu
tion and our law s, and I have no reason
to think or even suspect that future con
gresses will not make such roles and
regulations for these inhabitants as will
provide for them tho largest measure of
liberty possible for them as well aa the
largest local participation in the govern
ment with the situation there nnder our
sovereignty and nnder our flag.
"So far aa I cin see tbe only practical
alternative to this la the abandonment
of the islands, the withdrawal of our
troops and the withdrawal of our navy
as well. The president has no power to
direct this, as he can no, alienate terri
tory acquired. Congress can do so by
law and will soon be in session, and
those who think we should surrender
what we have gained there and with
draw our army and navy will have an
opportunity of testing the tense of con

Fatal Apoplectic Stroke.
Fokkst Guovs, (Jr., Nov. 1. John
Dumphrey, who wa st.icken with apo
plexy here last Thursday, died this
morning, aged 63 years, never having
regained consciousness. He was born in
Baltimore, Md., in ISoti; came to Oregon
in 1X79, and for the last f.irty-three year
had been a locomotive engineer. For
twenty-one yeart be bad been con
tinuously engnged on the West Side
train, which first had its terminus at St.
Joeph, then at McMinoviile. bnt now
at Independence. Mr. Dumphrey waa
it necessary for the Republican national
convention to choose another running
mate for President McKinley, should
the president lie renominated next year.
It will uWo necessitate the choice of a
president pro tern for the eeua'e, to
preside over its ilt liberations until a
new vice-president takes office.
Republican pol'.tii-i.ms are practically
agreed that Mr. Hihait'a successor on
ac- the Republican ticket m-xt year must
States, congress , come from Ne l ork state. Senator
Piatt was in this c ty to lav, and it is
understood tha. candidate were dis
cussed. If Governor K-o.evelt had not
so clearly Imlic.Ued his disinclination to
acct-pt tbe second plact on the ticket,
be won'.d be an important factor in the
speculations as to the candidates.
His nomination is regarded, however,
as being practically out of the question,
and the two men mo-t discussed are
Secretary Root and General Frederick
Grant. Which one ol them receive the
Republican nomination may depend
upon the fortune of war in the Philip
pines. There are men who have served
with General Grant since hi appoint
ment to the army w ho believe that be
has inherited to a great degree the
military genius of his father and that all
he nee-Is is an opportunity. Ho hn not,
thus lar, had a chance to show whether
these opinions are well founded, but if
he should command the trooi s in some
brilliant action against the Filipinos, or
perhaps direct the final movement in
overwhelming the- insurrection, there is
little doubt that he would be the man
selected.
Should this opportunity not come to
General Grant and should the Philippine
w ar end successfully within the next few
months, the nomination would probably
be given to Secretary Root.
