Worcester, Mass, November 3O.-Sen-
ator Hoar announced himself to-day as
positively opposed to the acquisition
ofthe Philippines by the United States.
In a communication 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 Philip
pine islands, and to pay $40, 1000, 900 for
it, / do not believe that such treaty
will be agreed to, and l do not believe
it ought to be agreed to. Spain has
very little sovereignty in the Philip
pines to sell just now; and I do not
think the people of the United States
are in the market to buy sovereignty
just now, or that the Constitution has
been conferred on anybody to buy any
such commodity. The Constitution was
framed upon the theory that soyer-
eighty is not a salable article. The
people of the United States have con-
ferred 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 governing it and no
germ of national life. We have also,
In one recent case, acquired terri
tory where the original germ of nation
al life had persisted. But neither Of
these presidents applies to the Phil
ippine archipelago with its millions of
Inhabitants"

accurate information that does not tally

the danger of war but to tire out and
