Tliere were 2W yueita In B'lelidanre. KenaUir Cittf was Ilia t hief apeaker of the venin', and, rcsiioiiiling to the loet "Our (iiie.t of Honor," he said in part i "We are now In a riif our national hlatory, and your hearts ami mind, as patriotic rilifii of Ihi great country, are full of anxiety a to the prox-r aet llernent of the inouieritou issue which have resulted from the war with Npain. While our country a in war with Hpaln we were rely to oiake, I hope, every sai riflco lo Insure the eutreas of Ame-ican arms, and bun.- victory and honor to the American flag. And when the war over, I believe, the patriotic Instinct of American citizenship de manded, as your president enjoined up on us, that we would exhibit magnani mity to a prostrate foe and moderation in the hour of victory, a we had faced the war with steadfastiit'il and courage. In the first pi are, I want U ssy to you that it was my pleasure aa well as what I conceived my duty to endeavor to tarry out this Instruction, so creditable to us as a nation and worthy the high civKltation of which we prohss to be lcsdcr. "The acquisition of territory by the United State was not one of the objects of wsr, and we solemnly declared in the resolution of ContC'eae that our only ob ject In demanding the rt-linuismhent of the aoverelitnty of Cuba by ripain was not to bold it ourselves, except that we might pacify it and (It it for self govern ment by Its own people. M TT THAT Ca HOT BE KVAOKU. "But in this, as in all else, 'man pro pose and God disMes,' and it is one of ; the thing that makes thoughtful men desire to avoid war where it can be ' avoided, for no one can tell what its const quencea may be. I ardently de sire that we might escape the necesaily of taking the I'hilipplne Islands and as suming the harden I hat their Uklng will Impose uixin os, and 1 know that the preeident of the United States was eowlly anxious to the same end. Bat it became aprent that without our seeing, unexpected conditions had been created, and in one of these conditions un questionably duties had sprung which j could not be avoided or evaded by the United States. "It was amued that the performance of duty is sometimes not only unpleasant, but has dangers attended upon it ; never theless a brave man and a brave nation will not shrink from It on that account. On the other hand, if American senti ment did not justify the return of these islands to Spain, no more could it justify leaving them derelict in the Eastern ocean, the prey of the first occupant of Europeaa rapacity. Tha rowers of Europe would acquiesce in our taking them, but they would not stand by and see them in their helpless condition ol anarchy and disorder, without seising the opportunity to aggrandise themselves and so it was thought best by the presi dent and his advisers to take the cession of their sovereignty from Spain and hold it in trust to be administered in conformity with those high i deals and liberty-loving traditions which animate and glorify the history of our country. Duty cannot honorably be avoided be cause it may bring pain or danger, nor can responeibllity always be evaded be cause of its burdens. COV1.D NOT E8CAPK IT. "That I sought In TarU, by all honor able means, to escape this responsibity, does not matter now. It came to a point at least that we must either leave the islands to Spain, take them as we did, or break otT negotiations and come home without a treaty of peace. On the last event the truce would be broken and a state of active war would have been re sumed. We would have had no session of the sovereignty of the Philippines, and none of l'orto Kico, and no relin quishment of the sovereignty of Cuba. "It is true that in the protocol of August 12 Spain had definitely promised i that she would cede Porto Rico and re linquish Cuba, but without a treaty of peace that promise would not be per formed. What would then have been the exigency of the situation? Undoubt edly we would have been compelled to go on and seize, with the strong hand and by military power, both the Philip pine archipelago and the greater and lesser Antilles, taking by ruthless con quest what it was far better that we should take by voluntary cession of a treaty of peace. "But now that we have them it does not follow that we are committed to a colo- ' nial policy or to a violation of those great pririciplcs ol litr'y and self government which unmt always remain American ldels, if Olir Own free institutions are 10 endure. ' No country, and this country least of all, ran afford to trample on It Ideals. I have no fer that It will do so, With out auMiiriim for a moment any right tc speak for the president, I think I can assure you, with some knowledge where of I eak, that he fully appreciate Hie duties and responaibilitie of (lie situa tion, and that he i committed to no policy calculated to discourage, rnach less strike down, the aspiration of lilierty-loving jople all over the world. COKflMKUCK IN Tilt PKE'lbtXT. "1 belong lo a different political party, but I shou d be false to my sense of Justice and to that pride which I feel a an American if I did not declare my confidence in the patriotism and purity of purpose of William McKinley. lie U no usurper of power, no stranger to American institutions, but one of the American people called to his high office by their sutTragex, and it would be strange indeed, if he did not share to the fullest extent in the love of our constitu tion ami the principles that underlie it. When less than this can be said of an American president it will be the begin ning of the end of our great career as a nation. Rutlhe solution of the prob lem which confront as is not with the president When the treaty is ratifli l no policy can be adopted without the sanction of congreas. Anil the whole American people will determine, through their representatives, what relations we shall sustain to the Philippine. Shall we hold the sovereignty in trust for their people, as we will do in Cuba, or shall we, with their consent, establish a pro tectorate over them as we w ill tha inland of Porto Rico? All these importsnt questions will properly come op for de termination after the ratification of the treaty. I will not entertain the fear that the American people will not stand by the principles of the constitution and the declaration that they will not curb the ambition ol territorial aggrandizement, and exhibit to the world an example of moderation, justice and self-restraint that will be worth to us in moral strength more than all the islands of the eess." Dr.rESD". OX ACVIXALDO. ir Ha Kwpi Qulat Or.goai Volunteers Will Soon Coma Home. Portlaxd, Jan. . If Aguinaldo carries ont his threat lo begin hostili ties in the Philippines this week unless certain demands are complied with, that will mean that the Oregon boys will not get home in time to eat early straw berries this spring. It wonld take all the men the government could land on the is'ands to hold the insurgents in check for some tine, and all volunteers would be needed for a time. It is the purpose of the government, however, to send the bovs home as soon as possi ble, regardless of the action of the in surgents. The declaration of war in the Philippines would only mean delay, If things remain quiet the Oregon voluuteers should get home in April. The second transport with regulars will leave San Francisco tomorrow. This ship should reach Manila early in March. If things are quiet then the Oregon boys should leave there by March 15, and arrive home late in April. It is the opinion of a local military ... ! .1 man thai one year win cover me ser vice of the Oregon volunteers from the time of enlistment. He bases this pre diction, however, on the assumption that there will be no serious outbreak at Manila or elsewhere on the islands. Any outbreak, he thinks, would delay the homecoming at least twe or three months, and perhaps much longer. It is clearly the policy of the govern ment to keep no volunteers in service longer than is absolutely necessary, eyen in the event of trouble with the inhab itants of the various islands. All vol unteers now stationed cn thia coast are to be mustered out as fast as possible, unless they express a desire to go to the front. The California boys at Vancou ver will go out this week, and the vol uuteers at Fort Stevens are to be given their release within a few weeks. Spanlah Officers Murdered, Labuan, Island of Labuan, British Borneo, Jan. 24. The Bteamer Labuan has arrived here from the ' island of Balabac, SO miles south of Palawan, Philippine islands. The murder of Spanish officers, which was reported occurred at Balabac. The Labuan brought 65 women and children here. They had been robbed but other wise not ill-treated. The Zulus assisted the Balabacs lit killing the Spanish of ficers. The Spaniards left Palawan, where the natives were fearful of the Zulus. Stores nad been looted, business was at a standstill, and the natives were armed and ready for mischief. Vr.r.K I w rn;nK,. Tha Peara Traaly Will Soon Coma to th I rri. Washixoto, Jan. 21 The fact thst the anti-calping bill wa made the nn flniehed husines of the annate by (Sat urday's vote doe not necessarily Insure) ill immediate consideration. The gen eral understanding I that this bill will wait upon the peace treaty and Hie im propriation bill, and that the Indian ap propriation bill will he the first measure to receive the attention of the senate during the week. The diplomatic ami pension appropriation bills also may be) considered during the week. Several speeches on the general sub ject of expansion are expected to I made. One of these, by Hen a or Vki'e, in opposition to the government's polii J, will be made tomorrow, and Senator Lodtre will follow Tuesday with a brief talk in support of the policy and lu rd vocacy of the early ratification of the) peace treaty. How much time will be given to tie treaty in executive eaion will depenl upon whether the committee on fortlgrs relations consider, in the interest of the) treaty, to preis consideration. There hi an effort lo arrange a compromise which would permit speedy action upon ths treaty, bnt if this is not sacceaaful, tha indications are for considerable deli jr. Two7 compromise are suggested. One of these Is for a modification of the treaty or the adoption of a resolution declare tory against the permament holding ol the Itiilippine archipelago, and tha other is for a modification of the ai my reorganization bill on lines desired ly the treaty opponents! It is not yet po s: bie to state whether either coarse will ba pursued. On Friday the senate will listen to eulogies of the late Representative Ctok, of Illinois, THE WEEK IX THE HOUSE. The time of the honse this week, ex cepting tomorrow, which has been set aside for the consideration of District of Columbia business, will be devoted to the army reorganization bill. The con sideration of this bill, which is re garded as pre-eminently the most im portant general measure to come before congress at this session, baa been de layed by the illness of Chairman Hull, of the military affairs committee. Ha baa recovered sufficiently to pilot tha measure, however, and the house baa formally agreed to take op its conslJi ra tion on Tuesday. The general debate, not including three niht sessions is U continue 15 hours. This is as far as tha agreement goes. It includes no provis ion for final vote. The debate promises to be both inteteeting and important as it will raise all the questions involved la increasing oar standing army to 100,(X'O men, as proposed by the bill, together with oar whole future policy relative to the territory acquired in the recent wsr with Spain. There exists a wide variety of opinions upon the proposition to in crease the standing army. It has a strong majority of republicans behind it, and it comes into the house with the in dorsement of the president's message practically as an administration measure. The democrats and populists are in tensely hostile to the whole proposition, and intend to fight it to the last ditch. They will have some support from tha republican side. The opposition, how ever, do not desire to embarrass tha the government, and are witling to pro vide for a temporary increase in the army of 50,000 men, in accordance with the provisions of the substitute bi I offered by the minority of the committee. Or they are willing to authorize the con tinuance, temporarily, of the present war strength of the regular array (62,000) anything, in fact, to prevent the crea tion of a permanent increase. In thia they have the sympathy of many of the republicans. The fate of the bill is in grave doubt. The statements made on the floor of the senate to the effect that it was not the intention of the government to hold tha Philippines permanently, although their authoritative character was denied have placed a weapon in the bands of the opponents of the measure, who will use the statement that there is doubt aa to the future of the Philippines as a strong argument against a permanent in crease in the regular army. The bill may not be completed this week, as the order permits its consideration to be in terrupted by appropriation bills and con ference reports, One of these, the mili tary academy, is on the calendar. The river and harbor bill will be reported to morrow, and the naval bill probably be fore the end of the week. ' Aliens Excluded. Victoria, B. C, Jan. 18. The act to prohibit aliens from owning placer mines in British Colnmbia finally passed the provincial legislature this afternoon, and received the formal assent of the lieuten ant governor. The act goes into effect at once.
