LONDON VIEW OFT.
Declares That the United States Must
Not Retreat on the Philip
pine Question.
London. Nov. s.-The Times says this

London. Nov. 9.-The Times says this
morning:
Whatever may be the result of the
elections the United States administra-
ton has gone too far to retreat on the
Philippine question The American re-
ply may perhaps modify the original
proposals, but there is no doubt the
main demand will be pressed to sue
cessfuI conclusion
It is impossible to feel sympathy for
Spain, and we trust that on the dnan-
cial side the Democrats will show them
selves generous towards the fallen
enemy.
After expressing satisfaction that
future misunderstanding will be
avoided by the immediate adoption of a
section which is ultimately inevitable, :"
the Times says: I'VE trust that Amer
lea has learned to appreciate the fact
that commercial restitution and i'm
perial expansion do not thrive together.
But it must be confessed that our SYM
pathy with the Americans in their new
course suffers a great strain by such
blunders as the order for the regula-
lions to trade in Porto Rico that reads
as If borrowed from the British navi-
cation acts which the Americans found
so oppressive"
The editorial concludes by expressing
the opinion that the new policy and the
promising economic situation will pre-
vent any recurrence of an acute cur
Fency crisis.

what our majority in the house will be.
Thus far we have no definite returns
from Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota.

Republicans certainly and two districts
seem to be in doubt From Michigan
the returns indicate a solid Repu blican
delegation Representative HawIey is
elected in Texas. Vincent Boering is
reelected in the Eleventh Kentucky
district and Samuel J. Pugh is probably
elected in the Ninth Kentucky. The
election of George n. Davidson in the
Eighth Kentucky is in doubt with the
chances seemingly in favor Of his cleo
tiCn- AdVices from Maryland show that
we have elected four Republicans Ger
tainly. Nineteen members of the dele

haps more will be Republicans. Fischer.

only member We have elected in Greater
New York The election of Cochran in
the Nineteenth New York and of Ma

thus far received meager returns but
the indications are that we have SllS-
tanned some losses there. Unofficial adj
we have more than held our own and
my conviction is that we shall control
