ASKS THE AID OF JAPAN Government Will Be Asked to Recognize Filipinos. PANA'S SUPPOSED MISSION Reported to LivBonfkotforTntt PatTOsc-Seiator IgBsa't VUwa oa Matlooal Uiuet. MANILA.

Rejuvenated by a course of treatment at the Oerm&n Bath, and a summer's visit to Europe). United State Senator Hanna haa re turned to London for a few days rest previous to sailing for the United States Saturday nest Senator Hanna. la hurrying to Ohio to participate In opening tba republican campaign at Akron. From a conversation with Senator Hanna, a correcpondent of the Associ ated Press gathered that the seat with which tha senator is looking forward to conflict In Ohio, Is due to the fact that he recognizes that the coming campaign will not only furnish a reply to the question of the country's en dorsement of the national administra tion, but that besides the candidacy of John R. McLean for the governorship of Ohio, there la an aspiration for sec ond place on the democratic presiden tial ticket with Bryan and falling of election the future contest for the Unit ed States senatorshlp from Ohio. In such competition, Hanna la anxious to participate, because It meana the open ing of the national campaign of 1900. "I do not concede," Mr. Hanna aald, "that the congressional election In the late representative Bland's district In Missouri last week afforded any teat of American sentiment In relation to na tional Issues, for the election of a dem ocrat waa a foregone conclusion, and the tact that tha democrata ore calling It a teat caaa gives ground for sus picion that they made the majority to ault themselves. In Ohio, the republi can party nationally and locally, has no cause to fear a combat on the U euee aa now presented and It la evident now that the democrata of Ohio, a well as of the nation, ore ready to make the laaue ontl-expansloa and free silver the Issues, Just aa General Han cock need the tariff Issue In 1898 that Is, seek to make local Issues of them. They will use each cock In whatever pit they think It wilt fight the best- free silver tn the southwest and anti expansion In New England." , CARTER'S PLAIN TALK. Would Deal With Philippine Question On Basis of Dollar and Cents. . WASHINGTON, Sept. - 4. Senator Carter, of Montana, In an Interview with a Post reporter today said that. In his opinion the war in the Philip pines would be ended by January 1. Then, he said, would come the question of the future disposition of the Isl ands. The republican party, he be lieved, would settle this question by Insisting that the retention of the Phil ippines waa a matter of business profit. "This," added the aenator. "Is a practical age. We, are going to deal with this question on a basis of dollars and cents." MORE LIBERAL TREATMENT FOR AMERICAN SHIPPING. Eteamshlp Lines Granted Large Mall Subsidies In Europe Commission er of Navigation Report. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-A Herald special from Washington says: Commissioner of Navigation Cham berlain finds In the moll subsidies granted to steamship lines by Euro pean countries strong arguments In favor of the like liberal treatment for American shipping. . In a statement which he has prepared on this -subject, he says: "The most Important contracts at this time are tho9o of Great Britain, Gcrmiiny, France, Italy and Austria- Hungary for mull service to the East ern coast of Asia, China, Japan, Co chin China, etc. These five nations spend annually 1,500, W0 for their mail lines to tba east coast ot Asia. The United Sutes, ;t may be added, for Us Asiatic malls In '.597 paid f&OOO to American steamships and 114.004 to foreign steamshlpe. ' Ibis sum of H.'jOO.OOO la not expend ed; lr those nations for the exclusive purpose of sending the malls from London, Berlin, Paris, Marseilles, Vien na, Trl.aU and Brindlsl In the short est poMlble time to Hongkong, Shang hai and Yokohama. The time made by the aubsidlzed foreign steamships on this route Is not the shortest prac ticable by an average of about Ave days, and if the quickest delivery of the malls were the main object sought to be obtolied by these contributions to steamships, the completion of the various Pacific railroads of North America, the use of triple expansion engines and steel bulla ended -: the need for the expenditure. "The Brl'.lah peninsular and oriental line agrees to carry the malls, under Its latest contract from Brindlsl, Italy, to Shanghai, China, In TSf hours. The P. ind O. Brindlsl express train with Ita channel connections takes the moll from London to Brin dlsl In 44 hours, making the mall time from London to Shanghai 780 hour 15 days. The best that the company does la to cover the distance in U or 1 days and Its lines are faster than those of any other other route. Under Its new contract the North German Lloyd undertakes to carry the molls from Berlin to Shanghai in Si days. Malls are now brought across the At lantic to New York In nine days from Berlin and eight days from Parte. Seven days Is not a low limit at the present time for mail steamship from Liverpool to New York. Any letter ought to reach from Berlin or Paris within UK days and letters doubtless do cover that distance In sqorter time The distance from 8an Francisco to Shanghai by way of Yokohama Is I. TM nautical miles. 'The establishment of fortnightly American service from San Francisco to Shanghai will bring Berlin and Paris within 28 or 29 days of Shanghai, and under favorable, but not extraordinary conditions, within T7 days, while the best British achievement and the best German promise by subsidized routes Is now 13 days, tha average la 13 or 11. If quick moils between the capital of Western Europe and China and Japan were all that was to be accom plished by the expenditure of I4.SOO.000 annually in their steamship lines, their money could be saved by the develop ment of the American route. "Whatever may have been the fact In the recent post there Is very little substance in the notion that the pres ent large subsidies to foreign lines to Asia are for the quickest transit for the malls. There Is not much more In the claim that they are necessary for political purposes. In point ot fact the Peninsular and Oriental, the North German Llyod, the Mesagieres Mari tlmes, the Ioceta Navigazlone Italia, and the IJoyd Austraco Company are now backed up liberally by their re spective governments as a means of promoting trade and especially the ex port trade In manufactured goods of Great Britian, Germany, France, Italy and Austria-Hungary with China and Japan. There la no effort at concealing this fact In the reports of the compan ies every year, and there Is nothing discreditable about it to conceal It will not be discreditable for the United States to adopt the some policy. Whether it be printable or not depends on a balance of the value to the coun try of the trade to be acquired. "To the government which makes these foreign contracts, they mean car riage ot the malls and the Increase of national prestlage to the manufactur ers and labor of the country, they mean Increased opportunities for commerce; to the shipowners they are a comfort able addition to receipts and an oppor tunity for the employment of capital, and to shipbuilders they afford a better chance to build ships. ' "To the United States these foreign contracts must seem a very advanta geous means of obtaining national wealth and Influence from which we shut ourselves out" WARDNER RIOT CASES.

Sept t In today's race the second and last of the official trial races for the settlement of the de fender for the America, cup, the Co lumbla again demonstrated that she is the superior of the Defender by de feating her 10 minutes and seven sec onds over a triangular course of about U mile In az 8-knot breeze and smooth ' sea. The contest was a procession throughout the Columbia leading at the start by 13 seconds and gaining on every leg of the course. There will be) no more official races, that of today fettling conclusively In the minds of the committee, which of the two boats Is the better fitted to meet the Sham rock. What all yachtsmen wonld like to see Is a contest between the boats when they could carry only their lower sails. SHAMROCK'S FIRST TRIAL. Sails over the Regular Cup Course Yesterday. NEW YORK.
