Foralser stin Favors Expan.ion.

PITTSBURG, Nov 4-Senator Foraker
arrived in the city this evening and adj
dressed two large meetings, one on the
South Side and the other in Allegheny He
devoted almost his entire address
to the national aspect of the
present campaign. On the question
of the Philippines he said: "If we
keep anything at all, and I think the SEN
timent is overwhelming that we should, we
ought to keep the whole, rather than simp-
" APART 1t would require a greater army
and greater navy of the United States to
defend a coaling station or single island
than it would to defend the whole group.
For that reason l think we ought to keep
the whole of them; and I am speaking upon
the theory that we WILL because that de-
mand has been made by the American COM
Tnissioners by the direction and with the
approval of the administration at Wash
ington."
Other reasons ne gave for the retention
of the islands were that we may secure adj
ditional markets for our surplus produc-
ton and that on the score of humanity
the people of those islands should not be
thrown back to the cruel and mercilesS
government of Spain.
