HOAR OPPOSED
Massachusetts, Senator Definitely
Announces His Position on
the Philippines.
Spain at Present Has Very Little
Sovereignty in the Islands
to Sell.
And IF She Had the United States
Has No Authority to
Buy 1t.
Our Constitution Framed Upon
the Theory Sovereignty Is
Not Saleable.

WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 1.-Senator
II oar announces himself as positively
opposed to the acquisition of the Phil
ippines by the United States. In a COM
munication to The Gazette he says:
1--WE have not, so far, any news which
is absolutely trustworthy of what they
are doing in Paris. But if the report is
true that it is proposed to buy of Spain
'the sovereignty of the Philippine ISL
ands' and to pay $50, OOO, 900 for it, do
not believe that such treaty will be
agreed to, and don't believe it ought
to be agreed to. Spain has very little
sovereignty in the Philippines to sell
Just now, and 1 do not believe the
people of the United States are in the
mood to buy sovereignty just now, or
that the constitution has conferred on
anybody the right to buy any such COM
modify. The constitution was framed
upon the theory that sovereignty is not
saleable. The people of the United
States have conferred upon nobody the
power to make such purchases in their
behalf. We have acquired territory
either vacant or so sparsely settled that
there was no people capable of govern
ing it, and no germ of national life.
We have also, in one recent case &C.
quired territory where the original
germ of national life had persisted. But
neither of these precedents applies to
the Philippine archipelago with its mill
ions of Inhabitants"

Committee Appointed at the An
nual Meeting of the League
a Year Ago
For the Purpose of Preparing
Essential Principals for an
Ideal Municipality"
Will Report to This Conference.
Eighteen Months of Hard
Work.

D. INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 1.-The sixth
conference of the National Municipal
league is in session in the assembly
rooms of the Commercial club. This is
the most important meeting of the
league since the organization has been
formed. Its purpose is to discuss what
it regards as the first essential to gen
eral municipal reform-an ideal or
model system of government. The task
of preparing such a system was under
taken by the association at its meeting
IN Louisville in 1897. A committee of
seven was appointed and charged with
the task, without restriction as to time
or instructions as to details. The COM
mittee is charged with the duty of pre-
pairing essential principles" and
working plan or system consistent with
American industrial and political con-
ditions. The results of this work, which
has been constant for 18 months. are a
set of general state constitution amend
ments, and municipal corporations act
which the committee believes will &C
complish all that is sought.
During the morning there were ar
rivals of delegates to the conference.
The organization is representative of
many municipal leagues, Christian gov
eminent leagues, good citizenship
leagues and the like all over the coun-
try. State associations are represented.
Among the delegates attending the con-
ference are many who are distinguished
as students of political economy and
who are known as advocates of new sys-
TENS of municipal government. The
organization is comprehensive of the
various elements from the radical to the
conservative. The conservative ele-
ment is largely in control at present.
Charles Richardson, vice president of
the league, is presiding in the absence
of President Carter of New York. The
delegates were welcomed by Govern or
Mount and Mayor Taggart. The fol-
lowing papers were read:
=. "The Advance of Municipal Reform
in the United States" by Clinton Rog-
ers Woodruff of Philadelphia: the re-
port of the committee ON municipal
programme, by S. S. Rowe.

Glass Cutting.

The layman who is introduced to the
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
time is amazed at the amount of work
that the workman does entirely by his
eye. The first stage of the bowl which
is to be cut finds it in perfectly plain
condition, not a scratch upon it and
only half dozen or more marks in red
chalk, which mean absolutely nothing
to the Impractical eye. But to the
workman they mean the whole pattern.
Perhaps the dish is a salad bowl. The
marks in chalk will run from the edge,
five intervals apart, down to the center
of the bowl at the bottom. In one Of
the divisions of the bowl thus marked
there may be little further marking
in the shape perhaps OF diamond.
This indicates the pattern into which
the bowl is to be cut, and it will be re-
peated in each of the five divisions. All
the intricacies of the design the work
man has in his head, and they develop
on the glass in way which seems to
the locker on absolutely marvellous

CIVIL MAYOR OF SANTIAGO.
Old Resident of the City Appointed by
General Wood.

Old Resident of the City Appointed by
General Wood.
SANTIAGO, Nov. 2S.-SOme time ago
Major McLeary, whom General Leon
ard Wood had appointed mayor Of San
tiago, requested to be relieved Of his
mayoraity and returned to his military
post. This request has been granted.
In the opinion of General Wood it is
preferable to appoint to the mayoralty
a civilian acceptable to the Cubans and
he has appointed as Major McLeary's
successor Senior Bacardi, an old resident.
He is anxious to give the mayor as
much authority as is compatible with
military jurisdiction. The new mayor
will conform to General Woods ideas,
which are to give the Cubans every OPP
portunity to show themselves capable
of self government. The first official
act of Mayor Bacardi was to discharge
the entire clerical force in the mayors
Office and to employ Cubans who had
served in the war.

Strict Censorship Over Articles Referring
to Peace Negotiations.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spondent of The Standard, telegraphing
by way of the Spanish frontier, says:
The government. apprehensive of the
effect Of signing the peace treaty, has
ordered the military and civil officials
to maintain the greatest vigilance over
telegraphs and telephones. A strict cen
sorship over newspapers and kilograms
is continued all over the country and
strict supervision is exercised in regard
10 all articles regarding the peace nego-
tiations. The reports from all over the
country indicate that the situation is
serious. Ell Epoca says that
Carlism Is Spreading,
not only in Biscay, but in Guipuscoa, a
Basque province, bordering on France,
and in places hitherto tranquil.

NO NEED OF HASTE.
Chairman Cannon Says Colonial LegisIa
ton Had Better Wait.

ton Had Better wait.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Representa-
tive Cannon OF Illinois, chairman of the
appropriations committee of the house,
has arrived and the subcommittee on
deficiencies will at once begin the con-
sideration of the estimates for the e1-
traerdinary expenses of the army and
navy growing out Of the war and the
preparation of bill covering these de-
ficiencies for the period from Jan. 1,
1898. to July /, 1899. Mr.. Cannon will
push the preparation and consideration
of the regular appropriation bills as rap
idly as possible, but he sees no reason
now why any of them should fail, and
thus necessitate an extra session. He
expects that the urgent deficiency and
the District of Columbia bills will pass
before the holidays and that work on
the other regular bills will have pro-
crossed so far during the recess that
they can be brought into the house after
the recess as rapidly as that body is
ready for them.
Both Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Dingley,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, share the opinion that to try to
hold the house here during the holidays
would be impracticable and unprofta-
BILE.
No Occasion For Hasty Legislation.
With the enactment of the regular
money bills necessary to carry on the
governmental machinery at this session
Of congress, Mr.. Cannon sees no occa-
sion for an extra session, so far as legis-
lation for our new possessions is con-
cerned. He believes unripe or hasty
legislation for the government Of the
islands would be infinitely worse than
military rule. Under military COVER
norship there is perfect elasticity.
Changes can be made to fit new condi-
tons as fast as they arise. A years de-
lay before attempting permanent legis-
lation would give ample time for the
study and investigation of all the condi-
tons surrounding the government of the
islands, both by the military authori-
ties, and by committees which might be
provided by congress. Congress could
then, MI. Cannon says, deal lntelll-
gently with the subject.
The grand total of the appropriations
for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1899,
including all the extraordinary war ex-
penses to Jan. l, but not including the
Deficiencies for extraordinary expenses
from Jan. to July /. 1899, is 1903, 231,-
615. There are no figures as yet upon
which the appropriations for the com
ing session of congress can be based,
but Mr. Cannon believes til ; will be
considerably below the figure for the
last congress.

The Celebrated Cushing Protocol.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The protocol
of 1877, which the Spanish government
has notified her commissioners not to re-
vive, is the celebrated Cushing protocol,
which provides that no. citizen of the
United States residing in Spain or her
island possessions. charged with treason,
conspiracy against the government, or
any other crime, shall be subject to
trial by any exceptional tribunal, unless
captured with arms in hands. It is not
now considered of special Importance
since the loss of Spain's colonies. It
was framed with special reference to
Cuban disturbances. .@.
