In alluding to the results of the war
SO far accomplished, the New York
Herald speaks of the Philippines rs .

can neither refuse nor give away. 1t
may be true, or it may not be, that the
Philippines and other insular territory
of.which We nay become possessed will
prove to be white elephants. II all de-
ponds upon the sort9 of craftsmanship
with which we meet the new conditions
produced by the war. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the government will fall
unless our c,,d,tPPo policies W. change chang:
succeed without abandoning policies
distinctive to our domestic affairs,
and it remains to be seen If our pol
iticsl parties are broad enough to ad-
just their theories and Anticipated plat
forms to new conditions. It would be
difficult to contemplate the republican
party as advocating free trade, and
would be still more difficult to witness
the democracy as gold STANDARD
force. Yet revolutions such as these
must be expected incident to the new
national policy. OF course it is not
meant that all republicans should be-
come free traders or all democrats
gold bugs, but that there must be such
q realignment as will bring . free
trade-gold standard force into
cohesion. If the political notions
Of the American people
can be changed from tho prevalent
chaos of ideas into some definite de-
claration OF logical interjoinsd poll
the way of managing colonies. That
is, an alignment OF gold standard free
trade forces in favor of colonization,
an imperial navy, worldwide mer-
chant marine, an adequate army, the
Nicaragua or some isthmiau canal as
again an anti-colonial party favoring
projection, silver and papsr fiatism
inant influence to the western hemi-
sphere. Neither Of the great
parties can successfully deal
with iosular colonies without
abandoning some of its distinctive
doctrines. and it is not going to take
long to demonstrate this fact. And
when the time comes to deal with the
problem, realignments may be expect
ed. 1t will be found, then, that the
fundamental issue upon which the peo-
pie will divide will be to hold or not
to hold the islands in our posses ion.
1t will be an issue sof international
and expensive liberalism against
extreme and oongestive domestic
conservatism. We already know
that there 1s large element or our
citizenship opposed to territorial ex-
tension save what may be acquired on
the continent of North America. We
know, too, that another element is
strongly imbued with that inherent
AuglO-Saxon instinct which opposes
the Remuneration of territory once &C
quired by conquest, except in the face
of overwhelming force. This issue
must determine the alignments and
decide as we'll the con-
jurctive policies which pertain
to either side OF the issue. In view of
the numerous domestic problems which
have begun to irritate the nation and
obstruct its natural progress, the colo
NAL prospects hold out some flattering
inducements TO the country. Even be-
fore the war, we were beginning to
realize that our industrial interests

The Opening of China.
CNew York Times)


The latest concession obtained by
Great Britain OF China is Of an impor-
lance and value quite incalculable. 1t is
nothing less than the opening of a treaty
port in the heart of China, hundreds OF
miles up the Yang-tse-Kiang.
The port proposed for the purpose by
China is Yo-Chau, or Yo-Chu. This is a
town as nearly as possible at the geo
graphical centre Of China, on the shore
OF the Tung-Ting-hu, which is the largest
Of the Chinese lakes. From this lake
there is easy access 10 the great river OF
which the sources are almost at the eX-
IRENE western and southern extremities
of the empire, and OF which the de-
bouchure is at Shanghai. What is even
more to the purpose, commercially. the
proposed port is the natural distributing
centre" Of the richest part Of China, the
great plain which is inhabited by the
greatest producers and the greatest con-
sumers OF the Flowery Kingdom.
The concession. like all the other con-
cessions insisted upon by Great Britain,
is practically exclusive. although theo-
retically IL Is made on equal terms 10 all
nations. That is TO say, in the absence
Of artificial restrictions upon the trade
in the interest Of some other nation, or
group OF nations, Great Britain will do
the bulk OF the business that may arise
from the concession. in view of her supe-
rior facilities for doing ii. 1t is a very
rich and, commercially, very promising
region, that has now for the first time
been pierced. Great Britain can be pre-
vented from exploiting It only by ex-
elusive concessions to some other Power,
and these are provided against before
hand; that is TO say, one OF the condi-
lions attending the grant OF new treaty
port is an assurance By China TO Great
Britain that China VIII not ALLEVIATE 10
any other power any portion Of the Yang
tse Valley" Next 10 Great Britain, we
ourselves ought 10 have the largest share
Of the trade OF the enormous, fertile, and
popuous region thus opened to COMPETE
tive commercial exploitation, since we
already have the second share OF the
commerce OF China through the ports
open TO the Pacific. We do as much OF
that as all Europe together. The same
advantages which have secured It TO us
ought 10 secure 10 us a like share OF the
inland trade OF Cuba. But our mer-
chants ought 70 take notice OF the new
conditions In order to keep the same
proportion Of the new traffic OF China
which we have had OF the old. We must
not only produce goods acceptable 20 the
buyers OF interior China, inr quality and
price and patterns: We must also be-
prepared to carry our goods by hundreds
of miles of river navigation, 10 the new
market. The certainty that the newly.
opened waterways will very shortly be oc
cupled by. British river steamers makes Il
especially desirable that American enter

them by telling them that their case is
hopeless.
They In turn discourage others. and
thus a disease that can in every case

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, February %
(SpeciaI.)-Acting under orders from he
war Department, the authorities sent
forty-six cases of steel projectiles to Fort
Washington, ten miles below the national
capital, on the Potomac river, by to-
nights washington boat. Each case con-
tains 100 shot for the modern 1O-inch guns
now in place at this fort. Another con-
Segment will go forward tomorrow.
The monitor Terror is now anchored OF
Ola Point with two 6-inch guns in her
fighting top waiting the arrival Of the
Vizcaya, which is expected tomorrow.
II the Spanish vessel does not show up
within twenty-four hours the monitor
will put to sea under sealed orders She
is in lighting trim, and could go into
battle at a moments notice. There Is
unusual activity in Fort Monroe. Four
OF the sixteen modern mortars have been
put in place, loaded and connected with
wires, so that they may be turned on an
enemy at once, if the necessity arises.
The lO-inch guns have also been loaded,
while the post is under double guard.
There does not now seem TO be par
ticle of doubt that the two factions OF
the Republican party of this city will get
together in a few weeks and commence
active work in preparation for the
spring campaign with view to making
q strong fight.
The presidents of the two Republican
clubs of this city have been seen in close
conversation on several occasions, and II
is understood that they have been ar
ranging for a reunion of the organiza-
lions. AS soon as the executive commit
tees decide upon their plans immediate
attention will be given TO candidates,
and il can be said with some degree of
certainty that a full Republican ticket
win be put in the field in the May cleo
ton.
1t is known that DR.. Joseph Charles Is
the unanimous choice of all the Republic
cans for the Office of Mayor. and q COM
mittee will shortly be appointed to wait

The XesuNius OF.
PROSPECTS FOR WAR SLIM.
This the Prevailing Opinion of the
Congressmen I'm Richmond.

The members Of Congress who were in
Richmond yesterday talked freely con-
corning the relations of this country with
Spain, and some interesting interviews
with them were secured by Dispatch
man, who met them on their private-car
and travelled part of the way with them.
Mr.. Bailey was less inclined to discuss
the question than were his associates. but
he expressed the view that war was i'm
minent, though he also expressed the hope
that IL might be averted.
Judge Adamson, the well-known Geor-
gia congressman. said he did not believe
war would result from the Maine disas-
ter, burt he feared that IL might come. He
Is not opposed to war. but says that the
policy OF the administration is being con-
trclled by the nsoney-lenders.
'Tf," said he, "these money-lenders get
their affairs in shape. and feel that by a
governmental expenditure OF $780, 900
they can add TO their already plethoric
treasures, they will undoubtedly cause a
declaration of war to be issned-all de-
ponds on them"
Mr.. De Graffenreid, Of Texas, did not

care to express an opinion concerning the
situation, but said that If war was de-
clared and Texas was turned loose there
would be no other language but Spanish
spoken I'm hades for the succeeding year.
Hon. Sydney p. Epes, of Virginia, does
not believe that war will be declared. He
said there was but one act the Spaniards
could cor NIT that would precipitate war,
and that would be to. fire bomb in Mark
Hanna's bed.

takes pretty much the same view of the
situation that Mr.. Epes does. He thinks
Spain will have 10 be very much more ag-
gressiye than she now is TO cause the

there will be war He says the United

this government should have recognized

CONDENSED ny FREEZING.
New Process for Preserving MIX In
definitely
Philadelphia Record)

philadelphia Record)
Considering the wide and extended use
of condensed milk products the new
method of manufacturing it by a
freezing instead Of a heating process, as
carried out at Cattaraugus, n. Y, Is I'M
portant and interesting. The first treat
ment consists in placing the milk in a
vacuum chamber to rid it of animal gases
and atmospheric air dissolved in the milk,
which appear at the surface in bubbles,
and thus escape This reduces the volume
OF the milk about one-tenth. The milk
leaves this chamber at the proper tempe
nature for the removal of the fatty con-
tents by means of a cream separator,
which is set to run heavy cream. Du-
ring this process any foreign matter,
such as solid particles. which are always
i'm evidence. are removed and the cream
is added subsequently to the finished
product.
From the separator the fat-free milk
Is run over a bank of copper pipes,
through which ice-water circulates re-
ducing the temperature of the milk from
50 degrees. After passing over these
cooling coils il is placed in refrigerating
chambers, and constantly stirred. In
about nine hours the whole bulk of milk
is converted into mass Of ice crystals
and milk sufficiently thick to form into
hummocks. This is again placed in a
centrifugal and the milk reduced in
volume about one half. An average sample
of the ice, which looks very much like
snow, gives, on analysis, only about two
tenths Of ] per cent. OF solid matter. The
now thick milk is returned TO the
freezing closet. and in about seven hours
more it is reduced 20 a dense mass OF
crystals, which, after centrifugal treat
ment. measures only one-quarter OF the
original bulk. A third freezing Of four
and a half hours, and a centrifugal eX-
traction, reduces the bulk OF the milk 10
about 13 per cent of it's original volume.
The final step Of the process is the adj
mixture of the heavy cream in proper
proportions to the fat-free milk. This
final product. or condensed milk, is fair
representation Of milk minus the bulk OF
its water Moreover il is free from
foreign favors, and has an aroma which
IS true TO the milk from which is is pre-
pared II mixes readily with water,
forming milk from which cream will sepa-
rate as from untreated milk. To show
the great concentration of the milk, IL
may be stated that taking 100 gallons OF
milk as a unit quantity, this would reduce
10 IL gallons IN the end IN Other words,
the 81 gallons Of water in the milk are
formed into ice. leaving an unfrozen
balance Of very thick milk which repre-
sents i'm milk sugar casein, and Inorganic

NEW YORK, February 2-The Brook
lyn Eagle to-day says: "At Willets Point
precautions are being taken to make the
East river entrance to New York inyul-
nerable. A so-called skirmish line OF
torpedoes is projected from the Willets
Point shore across the channel to Fort
Schuyler. The torpedoes will be an
chored so as to make it impossible Tor a
hostile vessel TO cross the line without
being blown up. The torpedoes Will be
connected with electric wires, and TO
make it doubly sure that their plans can
not be frustrated, the engineers have
arranged to have batteries located at each
end of the line so that in case an appa-
ratus should be used by an enemy to sever
the connection and break the circuit. the
torpedoes could still be exploded from
either end Of the line.
"The channel is already protected from
the Willets Point shore to the centre or
the channel by two groups of submarine
mines. Each group of mines consists OF
twenty-five torpedoes, the forty-tour to-
gether containing 1900 pounds Of giant
