In regard to the statement of
Mr.. Towne that he was a protec-
ZIONIST when Page Morris was run
ming for congress on q free trade
platform, the latter answers the
fusion candidate for congress in a
manner that has left no room for
doubt in the minds of anybody
that either Mr.. Towne has been
badly informed on Congressman
Morris record or that he is will
fully misrepresenting it. Con
gresham Morris, in answer to the
statement says that he (Morris)
was a Republican candidate for
congress in a district in Virginia
on the same platform on which
James G. Blaine ran for president.

MANILA.

Now that the Philippine situation is
clearing up, and the purposes of President
Mckinley to secure the whole group prac-
tically announced, everything pertaining
10 the islands will be of interest to the
American people, says the Chicago News.
Naturally, Manila is the most interesting
city of the Philippines. and also the best
known from the memorable events of the
past summer. The city itself is historical
ly interesting, and, as the capital of the
group, it is likely to become even more
famous under American sway which will
make of this island city a magnificent
commercial gateway to the Orient.
By far the most striking characteristic
of the city is the number. size and splen-
dor of the religious edifices. Though the
walled area is only about 80 acres IN ex-
tent, within these limits are half dozen
churches. including cathedral The
spires and bell towers of these massive
structures form the most picturesque
characteristic feature of the city The
architecture of Manila, aside from the
churches, is far from being notable and
is, in fact, mediocre. The churches how
ever dominate the city architecturally,
and proclaim that it is the great seat of
tHe IdtHoilc religion In the East.
The oldest of the existing churches, that
OF st. Augustine, was founded more than
800 years ago. That it has withstood the
typhoons and earthquakes of three CEN
turles is proof of its soIdity and also of
the ability of its architect, nephew of
