NO CHANCE FOR BRITISH TRADE
ENGLAND's FRIENDSHIP PUT TO
THE TEST.
Americas Policy In Her New Col
onies Bitterly Attacked By the
London Press-No "Open Door,"

New York, Nov. PA dispatch to
the Times from London says: The
Daily Chronicle, in a strongly worded
editorial article upon the American
policy in the Philippines, says:
ut is a rather disquieting fact that
no sooner is American authority firmly
established over Puerto Rico than
medieval navigation law is passed,
killing at single stroke important
Canadian shipping trade with the
island, and making it impossible for
any but American ships to trade be-
tween America and her new colony
This is not an open door, 1t is a
door shut, bolted, locked and barricad-
ed. The Canadian commissioners nat
urally feel keenly the blow thus dealt
their country, and regard it as bad
augury for success in the negotiations
now in their hands.
"A much grayer question, however,
is ahead: Does the American govern
ment propose to establish an open door
in the Philippines, or propose TO shut
it fast with an obscurantist policy
worse than thatIof France, Russia, or
even Spain herself.
I'VE, as a nation, have much the
longest and widest colonial experience.
Our colonies are not only the most
loyal, but the best and most prosperous
colonies in the world. BY our methods
in the colonies we have created two
great virtually independent nations.
What has the opposite policy done? 1t
has created the colonies of France,
where there is no settlement of French
men worth mentioning, where the re-
sources of the mother country are
swallowed 10 as if by a bottomless
swamp.
':These facts are so we'll known in
! Germany and in Europe, where the
principal of protection is hardly less
revered than in washington itself, that
| as we announce today a policy of an
open door in Asia, it has Germany s
complete approval. Kiao Chou will be
open and free to the commerce of for
eign nations.
America cannot have driven out the
| iniquities of Spanish rule only to retain
its ignorance, and make commercial
suicide of it. s'
Deep disappointment would be felt
| throughout the British emDire-disaD-
! pointment equal to that now exper-
! fenced by the Canadian commissioners
! If the first result of the sympathy
and support of the United States, which
this nation has given with it's whole
heart, and would, under all circum-
stances, have given, should be to close
! one more link to that free and open
/ trade which is the only true advance
| agent of prosperity, the sign of civil
cation, and the guarantee of peace"

JOSEPH JEPFERSON'S SONS.
Made Favorable Impression In
'tThe Rivals"-New Plays.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 21.-What might
be termed critically curious audience
filed the Alvin theatre tonight to wit
ness The Rivals, as presented by the
Joseph Jefferson Comedy company. On
account of Joseph Jefferson's illness,
his 20-year-old son, William Winter
Jefferson, for the first time took the
role of Bob Acres in his stead. The
young mans striking resemblance to
the old, and the close copy of the
fathers manner and style by the son.
made decidedly good impression. The
verdict seemed general that with a lit
tie more experience, to give ease and
finish somewhat lacking in his first
performance, William will prove a
fitting successor to Joseph.
Another son. Joseph, jr., took the
part of David and made the most of it,
Otis Skinner, as Captain Absolute;
Nernacular Charges as Sir Anthony;
Wilton Lackaye, as Sir Lucius, and F.
Folliet Paget, as Mrs. Malaprop, each
made pleasing hits in their several
parts.
On Thursday night a third son of
Joseph Jefferson (Thomas) will essay
the role of Rip Van Winkle made fa-
nous by his father.

QUEEN ILLS CLAIM.
Going to Washington to Demand Ha-
waiian Crown Lands.

San Francisco, Nov. 21-Ex- Queen
LiliuokaIani of Hawaii arrived today
from Honolulu, accompanied by Colonel
G. W. Masfarlane and Hon. Paul Moo
nan. The eX-queen excused herself from
newspaper men, but it was learned that
Liliuokalani will leave for Washington
in a few days. The object of her visit
is to try and influence congress to al
low her to retain possession of the
crown lands, estimated at $4,000, 900.
Liliuokalani maintains that, despite
the annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands to the United States, the crown
lands are her absolute private proper
ty and this country has no more right
to assume ownership of the lands than
it has to take the property of any pri-
vate citizen.
The contention of President Dole, the
cabinet and the Hawaiian commission
that the crown lands became part of
the United States upon the annexa-
ton of the lands she takes exception
to, and is hopeful that her trip to
Washington will result finally in the
crown lands again becoming her private

The Daily Mail calls the offer of $780,

Of generosity
The papers generally take it for

States have now an Asiatic power, and

predict that the expansion of the United

LIE WHApoN o. Science.

Any disease may be deadly enough
when you have no adequate means
at hand to confront it. Plenty Of peo-
pie die eve4y day of durable diseases,
simply because the stereotyped, routine,
senseless methods and remedies usually
employed are not halfway equal to the
occasion.
But when truly scientific remedy like
Or. Pierce's great Golden Medical Dis
covery'' is brought to bear upon the
complaints which it is designed to cure,
it penetrates the tough hide-bound armor
of obstinate disease with the same I'M
erring accuracy and power with which
modern rife penetrates a savage shield.

cine for about year and a half, being unable to
work most of the time says John L. Cough

gestiOn. IL began with a choking and oppressed
feeling in the chest. 1 seemed to be raw from
my throat clear down into my stomach. My

ually and was short Of breath.

A MOUNTAIN OF FIRE.
siwash Indians Fight Prospectors
With Natural Gas.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov 21.-Hy Stone,
formerly United States government ex-
plorer in Alaska, met 600 would-be
Klondikers returning from the Edmon-
ston route, at the juncture of the Mac
kenzie and Laird rivers. Those who
returned by way of Laird river have
reached Vancouver in safety, after
passing through great peril. Stone ac-
companied them, and it is alleged that
on the second night they camped at the
foot of a cliff rising 500 feet sheer from
the river. Natural gas was escaping
from the sides of the cliff. About mid
night, so it is stated, the sides of the
cliff broke forth in flames, the fire be-
ing started by hostile Indians of the
Siwash tribe. The natives appeared in
war paint and demanded whisky, which
the prospectors did not have For three
days the demand was repeated when
the Indians fired volley at the whites
which was returned and the Siwashes
fled. Stone says he notified the govern
ment, but nothing was done. He did
not know any of the white men.

TEN THOUSAND STARVING.
Great Distress Among the Fisher
men of Etrup Island.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov 21.-Late ad-
vices from Japan state that 10000 more
fishermen living on Etrup island,
Northern Japan, are on the verge of
starvation. Some have nothing to eat,
while others are existing on rats and
purified herrings. During this winter
all means of transportation between
Etrup island and Hokkaido province
are suspended, in consequence of which
the islands inhabitants are subjected to
innumerable hardships in the event of
a bad fishing season.
A big catch having been expected this
year, 5000 fishermen were imported
from Hakodate and Nemuro. Contrary
to expectations, this years fishing
proved worse than ever. One bank has
sustained loss of $4,000 yen and indi-
viduals have lost from 5000 to 10000
yen each. Many dealers have failed
and famine prevails among the people.

bic conclusion. Then, handing the
American presentation to the inter
prefer, Judge Day concluded his re-
marks by saying that the Americans,
preferring not to break the armistice
or to resume hostilities, had deter
mined to present another and final
proposition, which, he hoped, would
tead 10 speedy and amicable adjust
ment.
That portion of the presentation set
ting forth the new proposal, the pro-
pos2l that the United States must
have possession of the entire Philip
pine archipelago with a tender of $780,
0O0OOO Tor a treaty cession of the is
lands was then read.
without betraying their mental at
titude, the Spanish commissioners sug-
gested an adjournment until Wednes-
day.
The new proposition, with its collat-
erals, was embodied toward the end of
the American memoranda. which filled
thirty typewriter sheets. Only this
part was read in the joint session, the
memorandum then being delivered to
the Spaniards for translation by their
own staff.
SPANS PROPOSITIONS REJECTED
Spain's proposition to invoke the Of
noes OF a third power to construe the
words control, disposition and govern
ment OF the Philippines" WAS rejected
by the American commissioners, on the
ground that the diction of the third ar
tcle Of the protocol, dealing with the
Philippines, is so broad and clear as to
AFFORD no Justification for arbitration
as between the parties of the agree
ment
An analysis Of the American memo
randum shows that all other sugges-
tlons and other considerations hinge
upon treaty cession at the amount
named by the United States and within
Two weeks. In the event of cesSion,
Spain may enjoy for a term of twelve
years rights of commerce in the Philip
pines equal to those of the United
States. If the United States acquire
the Islands by conquest, Spain may not
enjoy such rights
Should Spain refuse cession, she
would remain liable for indemnity
claims, national and individual, since
the outbreak of the last Cuban insur-
fecuon. Should she refuse. she would
also lose, probably. as further indem-
nifty for the expense Of conquest, one
of the Carolines, which she may now
sell; and other cable privileges within
Spanish Jurisdiction might be taken by
the United States without any return
to Spain for them.
This evening the Spaniards, doubt
less. do not know whether they will ac-
cept or reject the American terms. They
are telegraphing the substance of the
American memorandum to Madrid, and
they expect q reply at Wednesday 5
meeting.
Possibly they may conclude that be-
cause one money offer is made an
other and larger offer may follow pres
sure upon the American commissioners,
But if this be their expectation, it viii
not be realized. The American terms,
submitted almost at the close of the
eighth week Of patient hearing and
painstaking argument, are a practical
ultimatum

COMMENT AT WASHINGTON.
Spain Expected to succumb at the
Last Moment.


Washington, Nov. 21-The greatest
interest was exhibited at the state de-
pa1tment in all reports from Paris that
came from unofficial but reputable
sources. Of official reports there were
none, and it was said that no word had
come from the American commission
ers since Saturday. The impression OBJ
tanned among the officials that the sit
uation is not quite as acute as was at
first supposed, and that the prospects
of a treaty being framed by the pres
ent commissioners are not yet to be
abandoned. 1t was limited that the
Spanish resistance was really spec
tacular exhibition, intended to convince
the Spanish people al home that the
best efforts were being put forth to OBJ
tain the most liberal terms for Spain,
and that, at the critical point, some
time before the expiration of the time
limit allowed in the note presented by
the American commissioners today,
perhaps at the last moment, the Span
ish commissioners viii succumb to the
inevitable and accept a treaty on the
lines laid down.
But even should they refuse to do
this, and the commissioners part with
out result, the situation would not be
so very bad for the United States. AS
one member of the cabinet pat it, the
government will be under the necessity
Of taking possession of the Philippines
by force, but it would have been under
the same necessity in all probability
even were a treaty Of cession signed
for the insurgents promise to oppose
our acquisition of sovereignty over the
islands and will have to be subdued
But the United States government
would have saved the $40, 900 which
it has been willing to allow Spain on
account of the islands, and this is no
small consideration. The administra-
ton would avoid dragging the whole
policy of the war. at least so far as it
turns on the Philippines, into congress,
for there would be no treaty to submit
to the senate to excite discussion and
arouse antagonism.
There have been signs of opposition
to the payment to Spain even of the
small amount Of money which the
president felt to be demanded by con-
= sheraton of exact justice and inter-
national practice. and that opposition
might be jeopardized to the ratification
OF the treaty of peace. But. of course.
# there is no treaty, that danger win be
avoided. and meanwhile the govern
ment can take time to deliberate upon
the line of policy it is deemed best to
apply TO the government Of the colonies
ana determine just what disposition
should be made of all of them.

SPANS MISERABLE FATE.
Whole Government Edifce Is Going
70 Pieces.

u 11CCEo.
Paris. Nov. 21.-The'' Soleil today, re-
viewing at length the peace negotia-
tions, says: How miserable is the fate
of our Spanish neighbors. American ra-
pacity has not left them an inch of
territory they have possessed in Amer
lea since the tihae of Columbus. or in
Oceanica since Magellan. But that is
not the worst Of their nlisfortunes.
Their whole edifice of political economy
and administration is going to pieces.
Their parliamentary parties, which,
moreover. never had strong root. are
completely disorganized, and no one
dares assume the responsibility of
power. The present ministry remains
because no one wishes to replace it,
but it is almost Dowerless before ills
which threaten the country.
Touching the fate of the Spanish SOL
diers who are now returning to a life
Of idleness, the Soleil says: IF they
employ their leisure in conspiring, no
one can reasonably be. astonished."
The Petit Bleu says: Spain is becom-
ing resigned to the idea of giving the
islands up, and the cortes viii under
stand and approve Of the inevitable
sacrifice"
The Figaro declares that Spain will
give in, because she is powerless.
