AGAINST EXPANSION.

BOSTON. Nov. 6-The annual meeting
OF the Home Market Club was held to-
day Colonel Albert Clarke. secretary Of
the club. in his annual report. considered
the question OF national expansion from
an economical standpoint. and said:
1T is greatly to be hoped that President
Mckinley will so frame his treaty Of
peace with Spain as to minimize the dan
gers and responsibilities which we must
assume as a result OF the war.
ION October 70. at the quarterly meet
ing OF our officers, all the New England
states being represented. there were
many strong expressions OF personal
opinion against the policy known as ma
tional expansion and there was no ex-
preston in its favor. Some think our op-
position is because expansion and pro-
lection will not be yoke fellows. That will
depend upon how the new acquisitions
are treated.
'If they are helped to independence. as
think they should be. or are governed
as colonies. as those not able to govern
themselves ought to be. II the constitu-
tion will permit. tariff may be main
tanned between them and the United
States. which viii reasonably protect
both. and at the same time give recipro-
cal preference.
But II they are annexed and made part
OF our country. their annexation would
seem to expose our Industrial population
to unrestrained competition with low
prices and ill-conditioned and coone la
Dor.
III We must have an expansion polAy,
and it must take the form o. annexation
and territorial government, how can the
party which has always favored protec-
ton to American labor ever again look
the working man in the face?"

ENGLAND DOES NOT NEED
ASSISTANCE OF POWERS.
II Any Alliance Is Formed With Other
Nations. Great Britain Win Give as
as Much as She Receives.

LONDON. Nov. 1s-Speaking at the
Conservative Club banquet tonight. Hon.
JOSEF Chamberlain said:
Germany and the United States are
the two great commercial nations whose
interests are identical with ours. In what
l have said. 1 have not meant a perman-
ent. formal treaty Of alliance, nor need
say this now. but that speech Of mine
some months ago gave rise to such in
terpretations.
These persons are very premature.
very much mistaken, who think that
Great Britain is IN need Of an alliance for
her own security, and in order that the
other powers may pull chestnuts out Of
the fire."
Mr.. Chamberlain declared that If En-
gland ever needed an alliance she wuld
give as much as she received, but that
she would never need more aid, in his
opinion, than would cheerfu-y be AFFORD
ed by her own children. He scorned the
idea that England should fear German
composition, as he believed. he said, that
Anglo-Sason cooperation and influence
wou'l prove irresistible.

Natives Distrust AguInaIdo.

MANILA, Nov. ls.--General Otis, com
mander Of the American forces. recently
proposed TO Aguinaldo that he release
the friars and civilians held in captivity
throughout the provinces. The lnsurgent
leader denied their maitreatment and re-
fused to release them, claiming that tho
civilians had enlisted as volunteers and
therefore were legitimate prisoners Of
war
Aguinaldo also denies that women and
children we're detained. but said some
women and children had voluntarily ae-
companied by their husbands and fathers
into captivity As to the friars. Auguin-
aloo argues that they are prohibited by
the pope from accepting narochial ap-
Dointments: that they are only permitted
to follow monastic lives, and that par
ishes are entrusted to members indepen-
dent Of the monastic orders But the
adds, the Philippine cIericals have delib-
erately and systematically deceived the
pope, pretending tnat the country was
barbarous. unfit for regular ministers.
and that it was necessary that monastic
orders should administer the parishes.
Therefore. Aguinaldo continues. he CON
sidered 1t necessary to detain the friars
until the pope is undeceived.
The Spanish papers here assert that
sanguinary mutiny has taken place on
board the steamship Bernardino, and
that the native crew massacred their
Spanish officers. These papers also ap-
peal to the United States to control the
natives.
Advices from nOilo say the natives Of
that city distrust Aguinaldo and want
American domination.
