Aguinaldo Will Tackle Americans After
spaniards Withdraw.
SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 17.-Captain
John Barneson, commander Of the
United States transport Arizona, has ar
rived here from Manila on leave of
absence.
Captain Barneson left Manila Sept.
"a. He said the general impression
among army officers was that when the
peace commission concludes it's labors,
the United States troops will have seri-
GUS trouble with the natives. Admiral
Dewey told him that Aguinaldo was
not only unreliable, but treacherous.
It is said that Aguinalde has promised
his men that Immediately upon the
withdrawal of the Spaniards he will de-
clare war against the United States.
He says he will kill off American SOL
diers faster than the United States gov
ernment can ship them to the islands.
Captain Barneson stated that there is q
difference Of opinion between the naval
and military men regarding the reten-
tion of the Philippines. The naval men
strongly favor and the military oppose.

Ohicers.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 15.-By an over
whelming majority Mrs. Lillian M. N.
Stevens of Portland, Me-, was elected to
the presidency of the W. G. T. u, made
vacant by the death of Frances Willard.
Miss Anna Gordon of Wisconsin was
elected vice president at large, Mrs. s.
NJ. o. Fry of Illinois corresponding Sec
retary, Mrs. Clara Hoffman of Missouri
recording secretary, Mrs. Frances E.
Beauchamp of Kentucky assistant re-
cording secretary, and Mrs. Helen M.
Barker of Illinois treasurer.
A remarkable fact connected with the
election of the two leading general Of
ficers is that they are not only the choice
of the convention, but they now hold Of
fees which Frances E. Willard wanted
them to hold, and for which she hon
estly believed they were intimately
fitted. That wish alone would have
gone far toward securing their election,
but it is an added honor that the dele

ST. PAUL, Nov. 15.-The Temple peo-
pie are anything but downhearted by
the action of the w. c. T. U. They
think possibly there may still be hope
aor them in the resolution to be pre-
sented, but they do not seem to care
much one way or another. They have
already gotten plans on foot for an or
ganization within this one, and circles
will be formed all over the country this
year in the ranks of the w. G. T. u. or
among the Christian workers of cities.
The plans have been practically formu-
lated, but a meeting will be held during
the day, when definite action will be
taken.
The new organization will be called
the Young Peoples World Temple
Union, and its sole object will be to
save the building.

TARIFF MUST BE REVISED.

Senator Hanna Says Changes Will BE
Made to Meet New Conditions.
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 14.-In an in
terview Senator Hanna says the tariff
will have to be revised to meet existing
conditions.
"The war revenue measure" he said,
''must be revised, but we will keep
many of the original features of the law
simply because it is now necessary.
Under the old tariff law we are not get
ting very much revenue because we are
exporting instead of importing and
something must be done to meet these
new conditions. We must have a new
revenue measure. So far as I am con-
cerned I favor putting a duty on tea
and coffee. The revenues for the sup
port of the government must be raised
in some way, and the indirect is the
best way, according to my idea."

Ehe Must Chae8o Her Tactics or There

Incident hut zone Of Series Of Un-
friendly Acts Perpetrated in Recent
Years"
MANCHESTER, Eng. Nov. 15.-At the
national Liberal Unionists' conference
held here Joseph Chamberlain, secre--
tary of state for the colonies, made his
first public appearance since his return
from the United States. Mr.. Chamber
lain, who was much more explicit on
the subject Of foreign relations than
any of his colleagues in the cabinet has
been, said:
st was the hope of every friend of
peace that French withdrawal from
Fashoda is indicative of their accept
ance of the principle Of British control
of the whole valley of the Nile, regard
ing which there cannot be any discus
sion whatever"
Going on to recite a ''series of un-
friendly acts perpetrated by France in
various quarters of the globe during the
last 10 or 10 years, he said:
French Must Change Their Tactics.
eff better relations are to be estab-
lished it will be necessary for French
politicians to abandon tactics whose OBJ
ject has been to embarrass British pol
icy in quarters where the French have
no interests to protect. refer espe-
cially to Newfoundland, where, despite
the fact that the French fisheries have
been confined to a comparatively insig-
ni6cant point, the demands of the
French have increased and their inter-
ference with the development of the col
ony has increased.
cat the present moment Newfound-
land is seriously suffering from an in
tervention which is of no interest to
France although serious detriment to
the British colony. The Fashoda incl
dent only serves to disabuse foreign
statesmen of the erroneous conception
that the British will yield anything to
preserve a blessing in disguise.
His Reference to America,
After referring to the colonies Mr..
Chamberlain continued as follows:
.What is Of equal Importance our
American kinsmen loud cheers] have
began to know us better. If we have
had differences in the past hope they
will not stand in the way Of a proper
understanding, but know that in the
late trouble our hearts went out to them
[cheers] and they heartily reciprocate
our kindly feelings. shall not attempt
to predict what may follow this better
|.feeling, but may at least hope that in
the future the understanding of which I
have spoken may be perfected and in
the fact of that understanding we two
may be able to guarantee peace and
civilization to the world" prolonged
