The unique feature of the month is an ex-

President Mckinley has told number
of his callers this week that the "open
door" policy is temporary because it is ex-
pedient. He impresses each visitor with
the fact that he does not intend nor desire
to fix the policy Of the Government toward
the Philippine Islands nor Porto Rico. He
tells them that the representatives of the
people must assume the responsibility
and that it will be the duty of the Execu-
tive afterwards to carry out the popular
will. This is obviously not the kind Of a
President that the United States should
have at a critical point in their history.
The chief executive OF the nation under
existing circumstances ought to be its
leader, like Jefferson, jackson or Lincoln,
not the mere instrument of political ma
jority in Congress. The country's welfare
is evidently subordinate in President Nc
Kinley's mind to his re. election.

Cubans Fit For Self Government

CuUHHS FIb FOF SCH government.
Kingston, Jamaica, Dec. S.-United
States Customs Commissioner Robert
P. Porter arrived here from Cuba on
Tuesday on board the Admiral Samp-
son, and sailed for home yesterday
He says his Investigations indicate the
desirability of reciprocity between
Cuba and the United States. in spite
of Louisiana sugar and Florida tobacco.
The commissioner has framed Cuban
tsriff which will be promulgated on his
arrival home. 1t opens the Cuban
market to all nations on equal terms.
Commissioner Porter considers the
Cubans perfectly fit for self govern
ment.

The utter absence of comment on the
Philippine question by representatives of
the Roman Catholic church has not es-
capped observation But, inasmuch as the
Christianity in the Philippines is of the
Roman Catholic variety, it is reasonable to
suppose that the church views the situa-
ton with some interest. And it has been
active in a quite way, according to good
authority. An editorial in the Philadel-
phia Press, the Postmaster Generals paper,
says that Bishop Keane has received assur-
ances that our Government would not
abridge the privileges of certain Catholic
orders in the islands. 1t is also estimated
that these assurances were secured from
the President by Archbishop Ireland. If
this report be true, squalls may be expected
from some of the Protestant clergymen who
have been shouting for annexation and
describing the Philippine Islands as a
promising missionary field.

THE PEACE OF PARIS.
The Essential Features Of the Treaty
Disposed Of.
THE PHILIPPINES EVACUATION.

Our Government VIII Transport the
spanish Prisoners Now in the ISL
ands-some Matters TO Be Settled by
Diplomacy.
Paris, Dec. THE peace of Paris is
practically an accomplished fact. Yes
.erday's session disposed of the essen
! tial features of the treaty, which will
will be embodied in the following eight
articles:
First-The customary preface of
treaties, in the nature of an express
sion of amity and of hope for perpetual
peace.
Second = The REIMBURSEMENT by
Spain of her sovereignty over Cuba.
Third-The withdrawal of the Span
ish troops.
Fourth-The REIMBURSEMENT by Spain
of her sovereignty over Porto Rico.
Fifth-Spain's cession of the Philip
| pines.
Sixth-The withdrawal of the Span
| ish troops there.
| acknowledgement by the United
States of $2O.OOO,0OO for the Philippines.
Eighth-The provision for the "open
door" commercial policy in the Philip
pines.
The rough draft of the treaty, which
may be considerably changed, covers
| these proposals. 1t makes long docu-
ment, which Senator Cushman K. Da-
Wis, of the United States peace COM
mission, says will be found to be one
of the most interesting papers in its
| character ever written. So completely
are the details of the evacuation of the
Philippines stipulated that a commits
sion such as arranged for the Spanish
withdrawal from the West Indies will
be unnecessary.
Among the questions not yet set
tied, however, are the coaling stations
and religious freedom in the Carolines,
the Spanish commissioners not hav-
ing replied to the American offers.
The Americans have agreed to trans
port the Spanish prisoners home, in
| GLIDING the garrison and sailors at
Manila captured by Admiral Dewey
and General Merritt, as well as the
soldiers and civilians held by the
Filipinos for whose return the Amer
| leans have guaranteed. AS compensa-
ton Spain promises to liberate all
| Cuban, Porto Rican and Philippine po-
| litical prisoners. Spanish soldiers
electing to remain in the colonies may
| do SO, but it is more a matter of
economy for the Americans to return
the others, as these must be fed as
long as they are kept, and Spain is
unable to bear the expense of the re-
patriation.
Although the Americans have reject
ed SPANS request for free shipping for
ten years in Cuban and Porto Rican
waters, they have given the Spanish
commissioners such poor consolation
as the latter may derive from the per-
mission to re-apply.

The Republican party is not united
upon the question of expansion nor that OF

Philadelphia. Dec. 2.-Judge Finletter.
in the court of quarter sessions, handed
down an opinion deciding against the
defense in the Quay conspiracy
charges ON all the points it had raised,
overruling the demurrers to four indict-
ments and denying the motion to quash
the fifth, thus sustaining all the in
dictments as presented by the grand
jury. The defendants, United States
Senator Quay, Richard r. Quay, his
son, and former State Treasurer Hay
wood, were not in court, the presence
of the defendants on charge of mis-
demeanor at this stage not being necs-
sary. In their behalf, however, their
counsel entered pleas of not guilty on
all five indictments. The court fixed
upon Monday Dec. II, for the begin
ming Of t1a trial

THE TREATY EXPECTED SOON.

1t May Be Submitted to Congress Be-
fore the Christmas Recess.
Washington, Dec. lit may be
reasonably presumed that the peace
commissioners at Paris will be ready
to sign a treaty of peace within a day
or two. 1t is learned that the presi-
dents instructions to Judge Day were
to hasten the conclusion, and to that
end the American commissioners have
been authorized to limit the treaty
closely to the protocol points. leaving
other matters, such as the acquisition
of cable stations and naval stations,
to be dealt with hereafter. AS such a
separation of the points is entirely in
line with the expressed desire of the
Spanish commissioners there appears
to be no reason, now that an agreement
has been reached as to all of the pro-
tocol points, why these should not be
Immediately reduced to the form in
which it is desired they should appear
in treaty and be at once signed by
the commissioners. In this case it is
possible that the treaty of peace may
be submitted to congress even before
the Christmas recess.
