The Breakers Ahead

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. lex United
States Senator George A. Edmunds has writ
ten letter to Governor Stewart of Yer
mont, expressing his views on the proposed
annexation of the Philippine Islands to the
United States. Mr.. Edmunds says in part
In business point of view we must take
into consideration the cost of governing the
Philippine Islands. This cost cannot in all
human probability be met by the taxation
of the inhabitants to any considerable extent
If we take them we must govern them bv
external power and not through any auton.
omy Of their own. This means large and
expensive civil list, which must in the main
be paid out of the treasury of the United
States. The climate is, of course, unwhole.

Nearing the End

PARIS, Nov. l9.--The American Peace
Commissioners today have been closely en-
gagged in formulating the terms of the i'm.
portant communication to be made to the
Spanish Commissioners next week. 1t is
impossible at present, however, to deter
mine whether the work will be completed
for presentation ON Monday or Tuesday,
though it is believed that the Americans
will be ready on Monday. While the Amer
leans fully appreciate the necessity of max
ing progress, they are also under the neces-
sity of taking care in the preparation of
what may be the conclusive record of these
negotiations. The Spanish Commissioners
consumed a week in the preparation of the
last memorandum, but the Americans will
not require so long time to complete the
work in hand, and any present delay will
ultimately prove to have been advantageous
In their next memorandum, the American
commissioners will go to the vital point.
Definite notice will be given that the United
States will take over all the Philippines,
and Spain will unquestionably learn the
terms, from which there will be no devi-
alton 1t is more than likely that the
Americans will fatty summon Spain to af-
feet immediate amicable adjustments.
Should she refuse to make treaty cedinr
the Philippines to the United States the
instant alternative for America will be the
conquest of that territory at an increased
cost to Spain in the final settlement and
possibly with loss of Spanish life. It NAV
be held that tht Philippines, if ceded now
without any terms would be an ADEQUATE
indemnity to the United States for their
war expenses already incurred and that

THE PHILIPPINES NOT WANTED

Associated Press Special Wire


BOSTON, Nov. l9.-The organizers of the
movement against the annexation of the
Philippines met in this city today. A con.
stitution was adopted and officers were
elected, and an address was issued to the
people Of the United States, urging prompt
cooperation in getting signatures to pro-
test against the annexation of the Philip.
pines. Edward Atkinson presided Before
the meeting he received telegram from
Andrew Carnegie, stating that he had sent
him a check for 10000 for the use of the
movement. Funds have already been liber-
ally subscribed The address says, in part:
Whatever islands we take must be an
nexed or held in vassalage. to the republic.
Either course is dangerous to the physical
and moral safety of the nation, inconsistent
with our professions, and must result in
foreign complications, which will imperil
and delay the settlement Of pressing fnan.
cial, labor and administrative questions at
home.
Impressed with the Importance of these
views and recalling the declaration Of the
president, that the war with Spain could
never degenerate into war of conquest, we
have deferred action until it has become ap-
parent that pressure was being brought upon
the president to convince him that public
opinion demands the inclusion of alien ter
ritory and great masses of alien people into
the territory of the United States.
''We stand by the presidents declaration,
and. in order to give evidence of the op-
position to foreign expansion policy by a
vast body of our people, have organized an
anti-imperialist league"
The plan of organization is then outlined
and the following form of petition given:
= ..'To the President and the Congress of the
United States: The undersigned, citizens of
-, in the state of -, protest against
any extension of the sovereignty of the
United States over the Philippines in any
event, or other foreign territory, without
the free consent of the people thereof, be-
lieving. such action would be dangerous to
the. republic. wasteful of it's resources, in
violation of constitutional principles, and
fraught with moral and physical evils to our
naople."

Express Companies Rights

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 19.--The su-
preme court, in the suit of the Morton Ex-
press company against the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, has determined that
the steamship companies which occupy
wharves along the water front have 10
right to exclude express companies from
their docks. In the case in which this doc
trine was announced the Morton company
sought to enforce its right of admission to
broadway wharf. 1t has heretofore been
excluded from that wharf, and the Pacific
Transfer company given a monopoly of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company's trans
fer business It's exclusion from this pier
was found by the court to be unlawful.

ESTERlHAZY's BOOK
Does Not Make Hero Of the Author
Of It fv 80

PARIS, Nov. l9.-La Liberte publishes
this morning extracts from the advance
sheets of the first part of Count Esterhazy s
book entitled IL 'Affaire Dreyfus," in which
the writer declares himself 'the victim OF
Cavaignac," (recently minister of war),
whose enmity for him, he says, arises from
the fact that their fathers were political
enemies.
Esterhazy reasserts that he was the tool
of the general staff; that it was the general
staff who always dictated his conduct; that
by their orders he struck Lieutenant Colonel
Picquart, and that it was the general staff
who selected his seconds when he chal-
lenged Picquart and furnished him with Eek
ceptonal and irregular means of defending
himself.
He left France, he asserts, to escape as
sassination or being driven to suicide like

The War Department officials say that the

many soldiers is extremely gratifying. and

That only one death should occur among
10000 soldiers in week or ten days, is very
surprising. The department believes there
is great improvement in the health condi.
