EXTEND OUR TRADE
Greatest Question Before the

Is Lcwev Doll., on Im
port, from the Orlaat.
fit. Paul, Minn., April 33.-Presi
jent J. 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. Thoughtful
business men ara a unit on believing
that to the west lies thia new field of
Oriental trade for the possess ion of
whicli nationa are playing tbe great
game ei aipiomacy." :

Certain individuala, it is known to

that peace haa been ' declared. The

' What the president will do is not yet

; ON A TECHNICALITY.
The Charge or General Miles Will Mot
; Ba Sustained.
Washington, April 34. The forecast
of the beet inquiry report indicates
that the charges of General Miles will
not be sustained, although there ia
such a mass of testimony to show that
bad beef was distributed to the army.
Tbe tea son for this will be technical.
Miles showed nothing in his charge
against canned beef, but used the term
embalmed beef." 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. ' It is
also possible that there will be a de
mand for .an investigation by congress
from those who believe that neither
the war committee nor the beef board
was unbiased. - Tbe people arc not.

Town. ....
Manila, April 35. Four men ol tha
Nebraska regiment, Inoluding Colonel
Stotaenburg, Lieutenant Siaaon, and
three men of tbe Fourth cavalry, were
killed, and 44 wounded in an engage
ment at Quingua. The Filipinos ie
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed ir.to a dis
astrous, though aucoessful, fight. The
insurgents iiad a horseshoe trench,
about a mile long, encircling a lice field
on the edge of a wood. t
. Majoi Bell, with 40 cavalrymen, en
countered a atrong outpost. One ol his
men was killed and five were wonnded
by a volley. The American retired,
carrying their wounded under fire and
with great difficulty, being closely pur
sued, fog enabling tbe enemy to creep
op to tbem. Two men who were carry
ing a comrade were shot in the arms,
but they continued with their burden.
Major Bell sent for reinforcements
to rescue tbe body of the killed cavalry
man, and a battalion of the Nebraska
regiment, nnder Major MufTord, ar
rived and advanced until checked by
volley from the enemy' trenches.
Th Americans lay about 800 yards
from the trenches behind rice furrows
under - fire, for two bours. Several
men were innatruck, one dying from
tbe effects of the heat aa they lay there
waiting for the artillery to come up.
Finally tbe second battalion arrived,
and tben Colonel Stotaenburg, who lmd
spent the night with bis father at Ma
nila, came upon the field. Tbe men
immediately - recognised bim ' and
raised a cheer. Colonel Stotaenburg,
deciding to charge aa the cheapest way
out ol the difficulty,' led the attack at
tbe bead of bia regiment. He fell
with a bullet in the breast, dying in
stantly, about 800 yards from the
breastwork.
Lieutenant Sisaon fell with a bo! let
In his heart, the bullet atriking bim
near tbe picture of a girl, suspended
by a ribbon from h is neck.
In the meantime, the artillery had
arrived and shelled th trenches.,, Tbe
Filipinos stood nntil the Nebraska
troops were right on tbe trenches, and
then tbey bolted to the second line of
the trenches, a mile back.
The Nebraska regiment lost two pri
vates and bad many wounded, includ
ing two lieutenants. The Iowa regi
ment bad several wounded. The Utah
regiment had one officer and three men
wounded., Thirteen dead Filipinos
were fonnd in tba trenches. Their loss
waa comparatively small on aocoont of
their safe shelter. . . .
. The Americans carried the second
trench with email loss, and are holding
the town tonight. '
Colonel Stotsenbnrg bad won a repu
tation as one of tbe bravest fighters in
the army. He alwaya led bia regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men aince the war began,
although, during hia first oolonelov.
the volunteera who were not nsed to
the rigid discipline of the regular
troops thought bim a hard officer. The
loss of tbe Nebraska regiment , in tha
campaign ia the greatest sustained by
any regiment, and today'a disaster has
greatly saddened offloers and men, who
promise to take fierce vengeance in th
next fight.
