STOCK MARKET STEADY.
Lower Prices at the Opening Wers
Quickly Recovered.

New York, May 6.-The stock market
showed momentary hesitation at the
opening. in sympathy with London's low
er range and sales to take profits The
buying orders, however. were so numer-
Gus that it was not long before prices
again were advancing.
Business was on a large scale and was
well distributed: almost the only stock
which suffered from the effect of reali-
cations was sugar. which was unsteady
and slightly below last nights figures.

the Dalton trail to Belle Isle. Two COM
panies of troops will remain at Dyea TO
keep order there. Those ordered back are
presumably because OF the war.

Keep the Philippines.

Nothing could be more encouraging
than the evidences We see on every
hand OF revival of sturdy, aggressive
Ancricanism. What a change has
come over us within few short weeks!
A few months ago this journal was
daily denouncing the narrow Chinese
provincialism which had left our coasts
defenseless. and prevented the increase
of our Navy. while our chief CONNER
cial rival was busy surrounding our
country with fortified outposts, and
ever increasing the force of her fleets
in our waters. We were complaining
of the selfish and sordid motives of in
terests which had long fattened at the
expense of the nation, causing them to
fight against the annexation of Ha-
waii. although that movement was no.
toriously necessary to Americas naval
position and future commerce in the
Pacific.
Now We hail with delight strong
sentiment, extending to unexpected
session in perpetuity of the Philippine
Islands. now that they have come to
us by the fortune of war That is the
right and a glorious patriotic spirit.
Its development alone is worth the war
with Spain, AT last We are able to see
an end to that old back-district policy
of Mongolian seclusion. At last there
is a chance for national expansion and
for the upgrowth of a commerce which
will relieve our orerburdened home
markets and make our great Pacific
Coast region the seat of a trade with
the Far East that must bring untold
wealth to the whole Union.
Yes, by all means. let us keep the
Philippines. one of the most fertile re-
gicns on the footstool. and capable,
with Yankee enterprise, of becoming
a vast mine of wealth. Under Spanish
misrule, the resources of this wonder
full archipelago of nearly two thousand
islands have been hardly exploited. Its
mineral wealth is yet almost virgin
and unknown: but the islands are reek-
ing with hidden riches of all sorts
mineral and other. They have a range
of climate which makes them produce
everything. from the Irish potato to
the pineapple. Their decorative and
dye woods are famous. To American
pluck and business ability they present
a very Golconda.
Once entrenched in the Philippines,
the Orient is assured. If we are to
have any important share in the fu-
to secure a naval base and
coaling station in the Far East, in any
case. and it might as well be the Phil
ippines as another place. Better, in
fact, because they will afford us room
ny of huge proportions, and a great
outpost, vitality necessary
10 our position in the commercial revo-
luton which must come to the civilized
world with the completion of the Mic
araguan Canal.
The reasons why 1t would seem ma
tional idiocy to give up the Philippines
apply with equal force to the Hawaiian
Islands. BY all means, let us have and
hang on to both. The battle of Manila
made us not remote and provincial
but a great world power. All right!
Why should We, hesitate to seize the
and assume the RESPONSE
bilities of such a position? We will
soon have powerful Navy, and, il we
need an Army. there are more than ten
million Americans of fighting age to
draw from!
Hurrah for the new Americanism!

Plenty of Havana Cigars.

CFrom the New York Press.)
New Workers will continue to smoke
Havana cigars for some time yet. though
the supply of tobacco from Cuba is cut
off.
"All the big factories have enough ma
.terial on hand to keep their workmen
busy and the market supplied for sew
eral months" said L. Sanchez, a manu-
acturer, yesterday. I'VE all renewed our
supply when expectation was resumed
last January, and there is enough on

going for a long time If we run out

Mexican stock next"

President Mckinley is understood to be-
lieve that the next decisive battle will
bring the active stage of the war to a
conclusion. This seems also to be the
view of leading military authorities in
Europe. They may be right, but probably
only so because another crushing Span
ish defeat will mean instant anarchy in
Spain. the flight of the Queen Regent and
King, and general chaos combined with
General Weyler.
