'A NN POWER
N IHE PACIFIC
Diplomats Believe the United States VIII
Extend Her Sphere Across
the Pacific.

Chicago, May IA special to the
''The representatives of the foreign
governments are taking an intense in
terestin the conflict between the United
States and Spain. They are specially
concerned at present in the fate of the
Philippines and discussing the posi-
bility of interference by the powers.
The consensus of opinion seems to be
that if the United States should con-
clude to retain possession of the con-
quered islands in the Pacific, the Eu-
;ropean powers will have no cause to
Interfere.
attention is also called to the fact
pines, the United States can claim the
Marianne, Pelem and Corinne islands,
A foreign diplomat whose opinion is
entitled to consideration, in discussing
the situation, says:
European statesmen are very
much grati6ed to note that the United
States appears determined to handle
the Philippine question ably and
strongly. When the newspapers first
asserted that only 10000 soldiers were
to be sent to reinforce Admiral Dewey
and make permanent the fruits of his
victory, considerable uneasiness was
felt.
est would be impossible to police
eight or nine million of inhabitants of
Spain's oceanic colonies with that
number of men. Under a good mill
tary government it would require TO-
900 for administrative purposes alone.
The proposition to transport 10000
soldiers to this conquest is more like a
business proposition.
''It may surprise some Americans to
know that Dewey's victory carries with
IL spoils of war probably larger than
was ever decided by the issue of one
battle. The future value and influence
of this conquestis almost incalculable.
Studying the situation as it exists, we
must assume that with the fall of the
Philippines the United States will claim
as their due all the natural results of
such capture. By this one victory
The United States acquired at least the
light of disposal of the destiny of more
han nine million people.
Together with the Philippines go the
Marianne islands and the Pelews and
he Carolines. The Philippines have an
rea of ia, 800 square miles; the Mari
nne OF Ladrone islands have 44O square
allies, and the Pelews, or Carolines,
ave 1,45O. Stretching eastward from
he Philippines, these groups extend
bout As degrees of latitude. A little
lrther to the north and east are the
-awaiians. Should the United States
hen build one of the Isthmian canals.

alter passage, but in the most strate-
ic portion of the Pacific ocean she can,

lie ocean upon her own stepping

COMMON SENSE PREVAILS.
A Competent, Worthy Man Made In
spector of Paving Repairs.


The board Of public works yesterday
appointed r. o. CLANCY Inspector, at $50
per day, for about three weeks to Su-
pervise- the repairs to be made to the as
2halt pavement on Main and First and
Second South streets, preparatory to its
final acceptance from the Culmer-Jen-
ningS Paving company. The paving COM
Dany will commence work on the repair
ing this morning. The only other apph-
cation for the inSpectorShip was from
Thomas 2. Evans, but inaSmuch as Mr..
Evans was last employed, Mr.. CLANCY
was chosen this time. Both applicants
are competent and trustworthy, and City
Engineer and Chairman Kelsey said he
had no preference. Inspector CLANCY is
a bona nde resident of the city and has
been since 1881, and, besides, he is a tax
payer. but not a large one.
Citizen StringfelloW and Street Super
visor Seldom OF the board receded from
their position that the insDectOrship
should go to pioneer citizen and a heavy
real estate owner, other capabilities being
secondary, and the board proceedings
were. in consequence, harmonious.
Relative to vacating the boards rooms
for e. A r. headquarters, it was deemed
best TO retain them. because they would
probably be needed again, and for the
further reason that other societies were
as much entitled to the concession How
ever. Mr. Seldom characterized it as a
dog-in-the-manger policy to refuse the
request of the committee on control of
building.
The board adjourned till the 18th inst,
when bids Will be opened for rOughenlng

CoRBETT HAD THIRTY. SIX.
Ballot For Oregon Senator Resulted
In No Choice.

Salem, Ore, Oct. 4.-Both houses to-
day voted for United States senator in
separate session. The vote was as fol-
lows:

AS 46 votes are necessary to a choice
there was no election.
The legislature viii ballot at noon to-
morrow in joint session. 1t is unlikely
that an election will result from the
ballot tomorrow, as the opposition to
Corbett has not agreed upon candi-
date. and the probability tonight is that
the 36 Corbett men will support their
candidate for several days yet. Out
of the 80 members in the legislature
Sc are Republicans. The Republicans
were elected on a strong gold plat
form, and it is entirely improbable that
any one not known to be a believer in
the gold standard will be chosen for
the senatOrship.

SUFFERING AT THE FRONT.
There was suffering when the army
was compelled to lie on the breast
works The meat was poor and they
had no bread but bareback. They were
forced to live in the sun and water al
ternately and necessarily there was
much sickness
While they had a full quota of doc
tors and nurses. he thought that if
more had been furnished the men would
have been better cared for. AS for
rations, three days supplies was gem
orally issued. Whenever the troops
went into action they would throw their
food away, as well as their packs, and
they often did not recover them. Cen
eral Wheeler took up the common re-
port that the Cubans stole goods thus
discarded. It was not fair, he said, TO
thus accuse the natives, for there was
so much of this flotsam and Jetsam
that, hungry and poorly clothed as the
Cubans were, they were not to be
blamed for helping themselves. He said
ne had seen among the 1900 people
who came out of Santiago many la
dies of refinement who were emaclated
and evidently hungry.
In reply to questions, he stated he
never had heard of any shortage of
commissary supplies at Santiago, but
he had been told that the medical sup
plies were short, yet he had nc per-
sonal knowledge on this point. He
had seen some wounded men crawling
to the rear in the engagements, but as
a rule as soon as a man fell in battle
he was carried TO the hospital by the
medical corps. He said that as rule
the quality of bareback was good.
Where there was any deterioration it
was due to local rains and not TO the
fact of original inferiority.
The spirit of the army was such, he
said. that there was no disposition to
complain. "They were all proud TO
be there and willing to undergo hard
