From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, ID. c., DEC. 6, 1898.
There is little or nothing in Mr..
McKinley's annual message to Con
gress, long as the docun ent is, that
indicates with any degree of certain
ty, what policy he intends to follow
towards the Philippines. This in
dicates that he has not decided upon
a policy, or if he has, that he is
afraid to make it public yet, and
confirms the belief Of those who
think he intends playing foxy on
the Philippine question until after
he gets that Treaty of Peace ratified
by the Senate, and the $40, 000, 900
which we are to pay Spain, appro
priated by Congress. An announce.
ment Of positive policy before then
might result in making too many
votes against both treaty and appro-
priation.
Mr.. McKinley's handling of the
war and matters pertaining thereto,
in his message, contained no sur
prises. The message follows Just
about the lines it was expected to
follow-lines plainly indicated for
weeks, aye months, past, by official
and semi-cihcial carnations from
the administration. The message
also indicates very plainly that Mr..
Mckinley isn't as anxious to push
along financial Legislation as some
Of the members of his party would
like him to be.

Mr.. McKinley's foreign policy to

Americans to join him in opposing

remem Der that Senator Hale is not

no longer ago than the last session
of Congress, just after the Maine
was destroyed, he acted as the
mouth piece of Mr.. Mckinley on
the floor of the Senate, although
his pronounced pro-Spanish views
were at that time well known. There
is no probability that sufficient
number If Senators will act with
Mr.. Hale to reject the treaty, but it
may not ratified before the end of
this Congress, making an extra SEES
sion of the Senate necessary.

Third, 1t may be awarded to the
student who completes the High
