MERCHANTS BOARD AND PHILIPPINES

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Although. as you report there only ono
speech against the acquisition and retention Of the
Philippines at last nights meeting Of the Mcr-
chants and ManufaCturers Board of Trade yet
think that several members agree with me in op-
posing the resolution. The announcement was sim
ply that the resolution had been carried
chants and manufacturers Of New-York are In favor
Of holding the Philippines II the Fpinos can
govern themselves. nor OF holding any Of the
Islands whose inhabitants govern themselves.
We for what has come into our posses
sion but we must never forget that the foundatio
principle of Government is that the right Of
governing rests upon the consent OF the governed
Americans who eagerly desire that our country
shall keep tho Philippines Ike children | think
who cry for the moon. Distance lends endkant-
ment. and sound argument is lacking. Because we
have grown into contiguous and saubrious terri
into distant and unheathfuf territory the latter
indeed being already peopled. Naturally American
laborers move westward for the sake Of higher
wages. Territories become States and the whole Is
always homogeneous: but II would be wholly I'M
natural for our laborers 10 leave this country for
distant islands. where the rate OF wages Is ridcu-
lousy low We never repeope the Philippines
nor make good American citizens out OF the pres
ent nha bitants. ,
,enton OF the Philippines II your space were not 80
valuable | am quite that when the question
f. fuy understood the problem VIII be: How shall
we honorably get rid OF the Philippines?

THE SCHEME IMPRACTICABLE.
WATER COMMISSIONER AND ENGINEER on THE
OBSTACLES TO USING HARBOR WATER
TO rXTrNGI-ISI FIRES.

Water Commissioner Dalton and CHIEF Engineer
Blrdsall OF the Board Of Public improvements were
asked yesterday whether or not they thought the
scheme OF using the harbor water for fire-extin-
gushing purposes. proposed by the Board OF
Fire Underwriters was practicable. Both men re-
piled that II was not a scheme that would engage
the attention OF the municipal authorities after
they had gone further into the study OF IT, The
principal obstacle to the idea. they said. was the
difficulty OF obtaining the requisite amount ~ pres
sure
The scheme proposed by the Board Of Under
writer's is to use the nrehJdts on the North ana
East rivers TO force the water through the mains
to Broadway, the water TO receive fresh impetus
there from the fire engines thus obtaining enough
pressure TO enable the Fire Department 10 reach
tho top stories OF the high buildings In the down
town section Of the city. Commissioner Dalton said
that in his opinion. even with large outlay OF
money the plan would not prove practicable. Cnlef
Engineer Brisall .mphaticay expressed the opn-
ION that the idea could never be carried out In n
satisfactory manner.
The main thing said Mr. Birdsa. zig pressure

must invent a hose to stand IT. water-tower
