Therefore General Breckinridge Thinks Seattle the Only Port on Pacific , Coast. j Seattle Post-Intelllgencer. Inspector General J. C. Breckinridge, ' of the United States army, arrived In the city last evening from a tour of Inspection of the army posts In Alas-; ka. He Is a guest of the Ralnler-Grand. j where he spent last evening In company with Capt. W. W. Robinson, Jr., and a party of friends. "What do I think of Seattle as a de pot for supplying the Philippine army? Well, I think everything," said Gen. ' Breckinridge, when asked the question. , "You have every advantage here. Rail- ways, deep water, energetic citizens , and the shortest route according to the , circle of navigation to Manila bay.

"I can say this, that on the question ; of sea carriage to the Philippines thej theory of the earth's circle puts Seattle j to the front with a great advantage over other coast cltleL The great ques- ' tion with me Is not how much Seattle j Is ur-d by the -army, but why It Is not ued more. The city has been given a ; vantage by Divine Providence, and now t remains for an energetic people to make It effective. The question Is set tied that nature haa made here a place ' f.r the great trade of the Philippines, i "? -attle Is already a commercial cen- It. but in the future It will be more nt a center. The situation In this city Is not yet thoroughly developed. Until , this has been done the military can- not permanently locate here.
