J. llill. of the Great Northern railway, ia greatly interested in the Japanese and Oriental trade, and baa in the past and il now trying to bring about closff relation between the United State and the Far Eust. He I greatly chagrined that oongreea should have neglected to foster this trade, and attribute tba indifference displayed to tba Intervention of inter eats on the Atlantic Mr. Hill is earnest ' and bard-working In bis jtTorts to further his cherished scheme of maintaining and operating a line of Oriental steamships, and his trip to London now is said to be for the pur post of completing negotiations for a line of British steamers for tbis trade. "it ia a ihama," be declares, "that British veaaela should be loaded with American cargoes," bnt it appears to be the only way at present that com merce with the Orient may be main talned, until suob time as congress shall find it wise to make it possible for American ships to , engage in the trade. 'My view," aid Mr. Hill, "aroao well known on thla aubjeot, and they are at variance with so many men, that I do not care to talk along this line. It would do no good. 1 am in favor of low tariff, but the subject ia so far reaching, and, nnder certain condi tion, ao inapplicable, that a atatement of my viewa would be misunderstood." Few men sot deeply interested In promoting their own welfaie can see in Mr. Hill's ideas anything but per sonal motives, yet b says tbat nothing of so great moment la now befoie tbe American people a the extension of oar commercial relation through the medium of tbe Pacific Sentiment eorely doe not enter into calculation whioh redound to onr credit in dollars and cents, and when Mr. Hil decares that tbe import duties on silk, teas and other Japanese and Chinese products ate so bigb as to damage trans-Pacific trade, ha base hi statement on the re suit of hia stuJy of the subject. Mr. Hill merely views the situation a hard-headed, shrewd business man, who see a brilliant and wonder ful era of piogrsss and prosperity, and it appeala and discourages him to know that other who bare the power to bring about these condition should be N indifferent on a matter of euoh great importance to the people of thia country. In a recent ciicular Inspired by Mr, Hill, he shows tbat, while lie is a Democrat who favors low tariff, he is also an expansionist, for he aays: ' Had it not been lor the eye-opening power of Dewey's guns, the Asiatic trade of the United Statea might have gone the way ol her Sooth American commerce stolen, under her nose by Germany, France and other European nationa. What America emphatically needs today ia more markets. We have the raw material, we have the noeessary mill and factories, we have the skilled labor,' "Were there a sale for tbe goods, the output of agrioul' tural product could be immensely in creased. Tha benefit that would accrue to the whole United Statea would be incalculable.

Mmf Ca Vbcna to Unit, Washington, April 33. The deter ruination to send regulars to take tbe plaoos of volunteers in tbe Philip pines is believed to have a dampening effect upon those who ate encouraging the Filipino by their utterances in tbis country. The Filipinos are no fools, and if their leaders see that tba United Statea mean business, they will seek terms. If the order for call Ing ont the 16,000 provisional army was issued, it would have a good effect. not only upon tbe Filipino leader, but the Cubans who may be inclined to make trouble. The volunteers are coming home, and, according to previous orders, tba Oregon men will be among the first to return. Under tbe law, all volunteeis should bava been releaied from service aa soon as tha peace treaty was signed, Congress provided for this by authoris ing the enlistment of 116,000 men to take tbe place of the volunteers. Tbe war department's plans first con tern plated keeping the state volunteera in service and avoiding the necessity of a provisional army.

The president prefoired a' policy of liberality and tolerance until recently. when there came into the possession of the administration evidence incriminat ing United Statea eitizene furthering the sedition. Certain individuala, it is known to the government, have been trying not only to aid Agulnaldo, but weaken the army by spreading discontent among the voluuteera. Telegraph messages from anti-expansionists, xealona to gain political advantage, have been in tereepted, encouraging volunteer offl sera and men to demand their return from the Philippines on the ground that peace haa been ' declared. The meaaages even counseled the volunteera to go to the length of refusing fnithar to serve in the Philippines. ' What the president will do is not yet decided. , it will not be surprising if a warning in the shape of a message will remind the mischief-makers that there is a serious law against treason which will be enforced if any further attempt is made to tamper with the men at the front.

On this techni cality it may be shown that tbe charges were not sustained. ' The people will not be convinced that the board was not packed in tbe Interest of the war department.
