Does Not Agree With Them.
ih:w VoitK, July 0. In tndny'a isstiu
of tho Independent appear varbiiB arti
cles upon tho foreign relations o( llio
United States nnd expansion. CongruEB
limit Hitt; chairman of thu cotnuiittco
on foroigu relations, writes:
"Thuro aro aoino who say tho lust for
military glory has heou tlio cause of thu
downfall of till the republics of tho part,
but Mint iB not truo. Tho punt hud few
or no true ropuhlicB,curtolnly not any ut
all comparable with tho United States, u
ropublic organized on tiio principle of
representative government by all. Wo arc
making precedonte. There acorns to be
u great war cloud forming over China
nnd tho forces mustering there nro
mighty enough to produco a war of tho
greatest magnitude. But I see no reason
that will require us to join tiio conflict,
if conflict there is to bo. Thu inly interest
we have in tho matter is a trudu intor 'Bt,
and our great uixichal wars have never
had their origin in anything so sordid."
Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama,
writes: "Thoso who lament nnd decry
the conduct of our government in deal -iug
witli the Philippines as being viola
tive of our constitution are too late to ac
complish much else than to echo tiio pa
Miotic appeals of Agumaldo that we do
not destroy our government in order to
save tho Filipinos from thu fatal power
of liis dictatorship.
"It is not far to go, nor Is tho way ob
ecuro, to Unci in thu constitution of the
United Status expressed power given to
oongro'fi to do what was dona in Louis
iana nnd Hawaii, nnd what our self-respect
compels us to do in the Philippine
islandtj. The flag wo have planted on
thu Philippines is coneocrnted to the
hmiiu liberties it ahulturs on thu eapilol
nt Washington."
Kx-Suuutor George 1. Kdinunds, argu
ing against expansion, doinandd that
tho govurnmeut disclose to tho people
precisluy what took place before thu capture-
of Manila, and what promises were
Hindu thu Filipinos, He nsks if Spain
had anything but a "pretended" (sover
eignty to cede, and domiiuds thu reason
for the sudden turning of the Filipinos'
friendship into hostility. He concludes :
"First let us know the wliolo truth of
what lias happened and then perhaps
tho advocates of glory, or dominion, or
trade of civilization and religion ad
vaucod by tho cannon nnd thu bayonot
and supported by the blood nnd treasure
of our people can point out to us how
thoso nro 'tho wuys of pleasantness nnd
peace.' "

"A rumor is current hero of an nwful

President Schuruian, of the Philippine
Commission, Makes a Very En
couraging Report to Washington.
New York, July 0. A opecial to the
Herald from Washington says: The
departureof President Schurman, of the
Philippine commission, will leave at
Manila three members of tho commis
sion Mojor-General Otis, Professor
Worcester and Colonel Denby. It will
be the duty of the last two named to
continue the work of establishing home
rule within the lines held by the ad
ministration troops, in the hope thattbe
example will be followed by the Filipinos
outside of the lines, and show them the
beneficent purposes of this government.
Prof. Worcester and Col. Denby will
also aid Gen. Otis in the conduct of any
peace negotiations which may follow fu
ture operations ot the American troops.
Mr. Scburman'a dispatch is on the
whole very encouraging, and the au
thorities are very much gratified at the
conditions be reports having found at
the points visited. It is evident from
what the officials say that Mr. Schur
man believes the suppression of Aguin
aldo's insurrection means the establish
ment of peace throughout the archipel
ago. He ia confident that many of the
people throughout the southern islands
do not openly express themselves in
favor of an American protectorate sole
ly because of the fear of Aguiualdo and
bis Tagal army.
Mr. Schurman speaks well of the
sultan of Sulu, and it is evident that he
feels that there ia no danger of trouble
from him in case the United States ob
serves the treaties which exist between
bim and tho Spanish government. Mr.
Schuimau makes a number of recom
mendations regarding home rule for
some of the southern islands, and that
they will probably bo adopted by the
president.
The conditions in Negros were found
to be of n highly satisfactory character
by Mr. Schurman and home rule will
undoubtedly be given immediately to
the people of that island, although some
alterations were neeestary before it re
ceived the president's approval.
"We have sold many different cxigh
remedies, but uouo gave better satisfac
tion than Chamberlain's," eays Mr.
Charles Ilolsshauer, Druggist, Newark,
N. J. "It is perfectly safe and can be
relied upon in all eases of coughs, colds
or hoarseness." Sold by Blakeley &
