As to Advisability of Acquiring:
Philippine Islands,
The news of the surrender of Ma'
alia and the Question of terms of
peace with Spain has precipitated In
tcrcst on the question of acquiring
the Philippine Islands as American
territory. The following expressions
were heard from cltlrcns of the
Capital City.
Claud Uatcli: "we've sot 'em.
What arc we going to do with 'em'
Other nations will hold us respon
slblc for being In possession. 1 don't
think we want them hut how can we
get rid of them ?
A, N. Bush: "We Want Cuba and
Porto Rice. But I can't conceive of
anything more undesirable than the
Phlllipplnc9. Too far away. I hope
the president will express himself. J f
he does I'll endorse him."
John Q. Wilsen: "Hawaii has a goy
crnment and the Cubans will soon be
capable of governing themselves.
But the Philippines we have no use
for."
J.lfAlbctt: "Dewey should haye
sunk those ships and come right
home. We have no business over
there."
Dr. John Shaw: "BeyondNt coaling
station we want no territory so far
away.
Senator N, II. Loncy had not made
up his mind that we wanted more
than a coaling station and land
enough to protect It.
Frank Levcll: "We can't trust the
Bpaniaros to ruie cue natives ana we
can't triut the natives to rule the
Island. It Is hard to say what to do."
non, Jeff Myers: "We should
protect our commercial Interests first.
1 am opposed to returning the
Islands to Spain, or allowing any
European power to controll them."
Dr. Mradshaw. "If It's going to
Involve us in any International com
plications we do not want them,
W. II. Odell: "We ought not let
go of all that we have gained there.
Especially ought we to hold Luzon,
the principal Island that has been
surrendered to Dewey. We owe it to
tlio native races that they bo not
turned over to the barbarism of Span
ish rule, but be advanced toward
some of the benefits of civilization."
II. It. Klucald, Secretary of State:
"We shall have a port and one of the
best Island, at least, I don't see why
a free republic like ours shouldn't
have nnythlng that any flrst.class
nation In the world considers desira
ble, and If wo don't have It come old
world monarchy will."
C. II. Markham, general rrclghtuud
piSBonger agents. P. Co. would only
say that he thought It a question of
expediency from a commercial stand
point, to Ixj determined after an In
vestigation just us any other business
matter would be looked Into. If de
sirable to have tho Islands let us keep
them.
Cov. Lerd: Favors strongly compel
llngSpaln to get olt the new world
entirely and to rellngqish Cuba and
Porto Rice. Believes In annexation
of Cuba. The remoteness of tho Phil
ippines, the Ignoranceand superstition
of their people makes their annexa
tion undesirable. Temprorary po-
scssion Is necessary, but they aro not
tlttcd, as a mixed Asiatic race, to be
ccuie part of our population.

Union Declared Impossible.
Salem special to a Portland paper:
Prolessor Johnson, of Taeoma uni
versity, arrived In this city this
mornlngand was Immediately closeted
with Rev. John Parsons and General
W. H. Odell, two members of the
board of trustees of Willamette
University. They held a long con
ference on the subject of a union
of the threo universities, but no
deunlto conclusions were reached.
Geu. Odell stated today that Wil
lamette university had not considered
the matter of a union and had no
proposition to consider. It Is gen
erally understood that the trustees of
Willamette University do not favor a
union. Prof. Johnson was seen after
the conference and said that a union In
which Willamette university would
be Included would bo next to Impos
sible, though the effort would be
continued. Tho objections urged by
the Willamette university trustees
aic that a union would take tho
school away from Salem, and the
trustees feel under such great obli
gations to the people of Salem that
they could not fayor a change!
To Investigate Forest Fires.
Salem special to a Portland paper:
Frederick V. Colvllle, government
botanist, Is In Oregon again land
after a conference with John Mlnto
and S. B, Ormsby, he left for Eugene,
It Is supposed to. traycrse the reserve
with a pack train from Hazeldell to
Mount Hood. His object Is to gather
data concerning the time of occur
rence and cause of forest tires. Cap
tain S. B. Ormsby, who Is familiar
with mountain travel, and whose
home is In tho mountains, considers
this trip impracticable almost Impos
sible, He states that If Mr. Colvllle
traverses a country passable to a pack
tralu he will not pass through the
timber region and will miss the real
object iof his laliors. Mr. Colvllle
stated last evening that he Is entirely
lgnoraui ot tne country tluough
which he nropobcs to travel. Ills
guides are two young men froiuKlam
ath county, who have never been as
tar north In the Cascades as Hazel
dell. In view of tnee facts, Captain
Ormsby thinks It quite probable that
the party will get lost aud be obliged
to glye up their present plans.

The bids were all iu excess of the
cost estimated, and no contract was
let.
J udge Barton stated that he thought
bids would lie advertised for again
In tho fall, perhaps In October, for
the work to be done within a year and
he thought It could be done for $2000
less than offered by bidders nov
An Albany paper says: It Is hardly
probable a lower ono will be secured
under the present plans. The senti
ment there Is that a few thousand
dollars should make no difference In
securing sucli a building as the pres
ent needs of the county demand.
