not only to European nations; but to
the United States as we'll. No nation
on earth is given an advantage. The
object is solely to raise enough revenue
to pay off the $2O,O00,000 to Spain.
That money will come from revenue
derived from England, France, Ger.
many, America, and, in fact, every
other nation. 1t can be seen, there
fore, that foreign nations, on account
of their convenient situation to the
Philippines, will have no material
advantage over the United States.
We want to raise the S20,000,00O to
pay to Spain, and instead of being to
our disadvantage, it will be to our
benefit if these nations can increase
their trade to the Philippines for the
time being, thus increasing the customs
receipts.
"The open door policy, therefore,
will prevail only so long as it is neces-
sary to raise the S20,O00,000 which it
is agreed to pay to Spain. After this
money is raised, then it will be time
for congress to act. 1t will enact such
tariff legislation as it deems proper.
If it is decided to annex the islands,
then customs duties will be prescribed
which will not give any foreign nation
an advantage over US in the matter of
trade. We will have free and unre-
stricted intercourse with the islands,
while foreign nations will be obliged
to pay duties on the products that they
import. Hence it can be seen that the
open door policy is only a temporary
measure, and instead of being to our
disadvantage, will rebound to our
benefit.
eff congress decides to grant the
Filipinos their independence, then they
will probably be obliged to pay US the
$40, 100000 which we are to give
Spain.
II find that the main opposition to
the annexation of the Philippines comes
from people who have all along been
opposed to the independence of Cuba.
They are disappointed in the fact that
Cuba has been freed, and, in line with
their views on this subject, are opposed
to the acquisition of the Philippines
by the United States. The cry of sim
perialism' is a misplaced one, and is
not only misunderstood; but entirely

FIFTY-SIXTH CONGRESS-.
1t Convened in Regular Session On Last
Monday.

1t Convened in Regular Session On Last
Monday.
The Fifty-sixth congress is now in
regular session, having convened last
Monday.
The roll call developed the attend
ance of 267 members; 179 being
quorum. There were no unusual Incl
dents and the most important feature
of Mondays proceedings was the read
ing of the presidents message.
The message is quite lengthy. 1t
begins with recital of the history Of
the recent war, cites the heroism OF
American sailors and soldiers, urges an
increase of the regular army to 1OO,-
600 men, reviews our relations with
the nations of the world, and is silent
on the Philippine problem and the
race troubles in the south.
The following is synopsis of the
more interesting portions of the mes
sage:
"The total casualties in killed and
wounded in the army during the war
with Spain were:
Officers killed %, enlisted men killed
257, total 2SO. Officers wounded lib, en-
listed men wounded l,464, total 1,5T.
Of the navy: Killed II, wounded 81,
died as result of wounds l. lnvalided
from service 6. Total 81.
"In the entire campaign by land and
sea we did not lose a gun or flag or
transport or a ship, and with the excep-
ton of the crew of the Merrimac, not
soldier or a sailor was taken prisoner"
The president bears testimony and pays
fitting tribute "to the patriotism and de-
votion of that large portion of our army
which, although eager to be ordered to
the post of greatest exposure, fortunately
was not required outside of the United
States" The president says: "In trac-
ing these events we are constantly re-
minded of our obligations to the Divine
Master for His watchful care over US, and
His safe guidance, for which the nation
makes reverent acknowledgement and
offers humble prayer for the continuance
of His favors."
Referring to the work of the peace COM
mission in Paris, the president says:
''Their negotiations have made hope
full progress. SO that trust soon 10 pe aole
to lay definitive treaty of peace before
the senate with review of the steps lead
ing to it's signature.
II do not discuss at this time the gov
ernment nor the future of the new posses.
sions which will come to us as the result
of the war with Spain. Such discussion
will be appropriate after the treaty of
peace shall be ratified. In the meantime
and until the congress has legislated 9th
erwise, it will be my duty to continue the
military governments which have existed
since our occupation and give to the peo-
pie security in life and property and en-
couragement under just and beneficent
rule"
AS 10 the future of Cuba he says:
"As soon as we are in possession OF Gu
ba and have pacified the island, it will he
necessary to give aid and direction TO It's
people to form a government for them
selves. This should be undertaken at the
earliest moment consistent with safety
and assured success"
1.-THE president says that with one ex-
ception, the rupture with Spain, the in
tercourse Of the United States with the
great family of nations during the past
year has been marked with cordiality.

THE OPEN DOOR POLICY.
Senator Chandler Explains a Much Dis
cussed Subject.

Senator Chandler Explains Much DIS
cussed Subject.
Senator Chandler, one of the best
informed men in the senate in regard
to such matters, has explained what is
meant by the much talked of "open
door policy" as applied to the Philip
pines:
"There seems to be general misun-
derstanding of the open door policy
of the administration as regards the
government of the Philippine islands.
The phrase in its present application
is somewhat misleading and it ought
to be explained fully. l have heard it
contended that if we inaugurate this
policy, foreign nations who are in
closer proximity to the Philippines
than the United States will have great
advantage over us in the matter Of
trade. Now, as a matter of fact, this
policy will not continue for any great
length of time. The president, it must
be remembered, has no authority to
prescribe permanent tariff laws for the
Philippines; that is a congressional
function and must be dealt with ex-
cluslvely by congress when the is
lands have reached their normal peace
conditions. The president, in the ex
ecution of his duties, has only the right
to demand that Spain must evacuate
the islands and that they must he
turned over to the United States. He
communicates with the Spanish gov
ernment and tells the Spanish people
to get out of the Philippines, for which
we propose to pay S2O,O0O,O0O. Then
he establishes a military government
for the islands until such time as the
congress may act. Further than To
declare to Spain that she must leave
the islands, he has no authority in this
matter. 1t then rests with congress as
to what commercial conditions shall be
outlined.
"Afler Spain has left the islands the
military branch of the government
takes charge, as they have already
done. Then comes the open 'or pol
icy. Tariff rates are prescribed by the
military government, which shall apply

Terrific Fire Plays Havoc In New Yor

Terrific Fire Plays Havoc In New YORK
City.
A furious fire ragged on Broadway,
New York, for several hours last
Sunday night, and for time it looked
as if a large part of the city was
to be laid in ashes.
The fire began in the base ment of a
five-story building, occupied by the
big clothing concern of Rogers, Peet &
Co. Two policemen standing within
half block, heard a tremendous ex-
plosion, which was soon followed by Il
thin curl of smoke. They gave the
alarm but when the fremen began TO
arrive the cellar of the building re-.
ferred, to was roaring furnace with
flames bursting out of the floors.
1t was raining hard and the wind
was blowing a gale. These things
operated against the iremen and con-
tributed to the rapid spread of the
flames. The magnificent building of
the Postal Telegraph company, erected
only few years ago at cost of more
than a million of dollars, was attacked
and destroyed. The building of the
Home Insurance company, 16 stories
high, went the way of the other two
buildings. The upper stories of all
were far beyond the reach of the
streams of water with which the fire.
men sought to extinguish the flames.
The fire mounted, in some cases, to a
height of more than $50 feet.
1t was nearly daylight Monday morn
ing before the fire was gotten under
reasonable control. The lower floors of
most of the high buildings were saved !;
but the upper stories were ruined.
The damage foots up several millions
of dollars.
