I'm the discussion of the Open Door
policy l notice that many papers as
sumo that it is the uniform policy Of
Great Britain in her relations with her
colonies. 1t should be borne in mind,
however that there is conspicuous
exception to this case in the case Of
Canada, iner most important colonies,
which admits imports from Great Brit
ain at % per cent less duty than they
are admitted from the United States
and other countries.
"It is understood that this policy was
adopted by Canada, If not on the sug-
gestion, at least with the approval OF
Mr.. Chamberlain, British secretary for
the colonies, and that he is urging 9TH
er colonies of Great Britain to- give a
similar preference to that country"

"oPEN DOOR" POLICY
As to Philippines Explained by
Hon. Nelson Dingley.
"Means Simply Equality of Treatment
and Not Free Trade"
Will Only Apply While the Islands Are Under
Military Rule.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Chairnlan
Dingley of the ways and means COM
mittee, in an interview with Star re-
porter today, explained the term
"Open Door" policy as applied to the
future commerce Of the Philippines, in
case they should be acquired by the
United States. The phrase Open
Door policy, which is now being talked
about so much in the newspapers said
Mr.. Dingley, means simply equality
of treatment and not free trade. AS
applied to the Philippines it would
mean that imports from Great Britain
and all other foreign countries are to
be admitted at the same rates of duty
as imports from the United States.
.of course this policy could not be
applied to the Philippines If they
should be admitted into the Union with
a territorial form of government unless
there should be an amendment to the
constitution permitting this. 1t is no
ticeaeole, however, that in the resolu-
ton providing for the annexation of
Hawaii, passed at the last session of
Congress, it was provided that the Ha-
waiian tariff should continue in force
until Congress should otherwise deter
mine.
1T is to be borne in mind that the
present talk about an Open Door pol
icy for the Philippines is intended to-
imply entirely to those ISLANDS while
under military administration.
y "Of course It would be competent for
the Paris commissioners to incorporate
in the treaty with Spain provision
granting to Spanish imports into the
Philippines equality OF treatment with
imports from the United States for q
term Of years. and that provision ia
the treaty. when ratified

B0WD0IN.0: PORTLAND A. c.. O
Over 1000 People Watch an Exciting Thanks
giving Morning Game.

Portland, Me-, Nov. 25-(Special THE
asst big foot ball game of the season was
played al Deerng park. Thanksgiving
forenoon, by the Bowdoin and Portland
Athletic Club elevens. Over 2000 people
saw the exciting contest, and the long
game closed with honors even, neither
side had scored.
The local team put their best eleven IN
the field nearly all old college players
and it played by far the best game of
the season. The fact that the strong
lie, shows what powerful aggregation
Jhe athletic club has put in the field. 1t
was the last game of successful season
Tor both teams. and both were in fine
condition. At the start it was a pretty
even thing, but in the last half Bow
doin's superior training showed and 1t
scored in a minute or two more of play.
Ihe play was, in Portland's territory all
the time after the first of the game, and
once Bowdoin rushed the ball over the
land line. But after the ball was over
the, line Clarke dropped it in the melee,
and SO Bowdoin lost touchdown and
goal from place kick by few inches,
a piece of discouraging hard luck.
Bowdoin's interference was perfect and
its whole offensive game was snappy and
aggressive. Its line held Portland finely,
and the Bowdoin goal was not once in
danger during the game. 1t was curl
gus coincidence that two of Portland's
players, Murphy and Chapman. The lat
ter spoiled several long runs that looked
like sure touchdowns for Bowdoin.
There was much punting in the game and
excelled. The whole game was played
desperately by both teams. but it was a
remarkably clean exhibition of the sport,
rejecting credit on all concerned.
