FAV0Rs A JOINT PR0rEOI0RATE
Finds thu Territorial Expansion Idea
Spreading, but Lays 1t t. Lack
Of Information.

WARRINGTON, Aug. "a. - Senator
Hansbrough Of North Dakota author.
ICES the following interview:
II have been surprised on meeting
prominent business men in the East in
the last - days TO find almost una
nimity Of feeling in favor Of holding the
Philippines. At first I supposed it was
merely the outcome Of enthusiasm over
the success Of our arms and q desire to
keep tho flag wherever it has been
planted, but I find that sentiment in
favor Of territorial expansion is grow.
ing. doubt, however, il people who
are evinciug enthusiasm over this ques.
ton 1T the present time have stopped
to consider that to
Retain Control Of tho Philippines
means standing army Of Il, 900 to
1000 men 5000 miles away from
home, with enormous expenditures for
garrison, etc. The opinion has been
expressed to me that if we do not take
the Philippines the several powers now
seeking control in the East will plant
themselves on the islands and the
whole Eastern question will be trans
ferred to and for some time revolve
about the Philippines. I presume that
some amicable arrangement could be
entered into on the part Of the foreign
nations who are reaching out for power
in the new territory whereby a joint
proteotorate could be agreed to, giving
France, England, Germany and Rus.
STA the same privileges that we will

LETTER DEAL CLOSED
THE FAMOUS OPERATION IN WHEAT
COMES TO AN END.
TIE LAST MOMENTS LIVELY.
Young Engineer of the Movcmen.
Apparently Master of the sis""-
tion-Bov Much Has He Made!--
Has He Lost.

CHICAGO, May a.-Leiters famous
wheat deal was closed to-day. The last
moments were lively. and Joseph Letter
to all appearance. was master of the stu
alton. AS IL TO emphasize his command
of the market, Letter sent May wheat
down from si.75 to s1.25. This move was
plainly for the purpose of evadins the
big receipts, and to clrcumvent the tall
ers." who wanted to ring in lot OF wheat
on Letter at fancy prices Letter fooled
them by putting the price down. Never
theless. he had TO take on board another
800, 900 bushels to-day, in addition to the
pile of 5,O0OOOO or 6.oOO,OOO which be stili
has on his hands.
All attempts to place Letter. so far as
his profits and losses are concerned, at
the elimination of this great deal, are
widely at variance. Some claim that he
will pocket profit of 100000, while
others insist, with knowing glances. that
he will be fortunate If he comes out
ahead on the deal.
