London Times on the Disposition of
the Philippines.

LONDON, July 30-The Times, in an
editorial this morning on the terms of
peace, contents itself with a discus
sion of the questions aroused in the
Philippines. 1t says:
1T would be equally difficult for
America to take or leave them. Spain
had trouble enough to hold them be-
fore the war She would be still more
embarrassed now, and probably would
not remain long without tempting Of
fers from some of the powers, which
her poverty might impel her to accept.
Had America demanded a cession Of
the Philippines outright, Spain could
hardly avoided yielding. Now she may
find in her very weakness the means
of softening the other conditions of
peace. For, since the United States
have decided that the islands are not
worth anneXing, some arrangement
must be made with Spain to insure The
reversion of the islands to the United
States in the event of Spain failing
to maintain tolerable government
Here are all the elements of a bar
gain which sl1illful diplomacy might
turn to SPANS advantage, but the
thing must be done quickly and the
advantage not pressed too far"

Assistant General Freight Agent L. o.

turned yesterday from three weeks trip
to the coast. Much of his time while away
was passed on the cattle ranges in Montana.
where he was able to observe the condition
of cattle and to form Judgment Of the ship
ping outlook.
1.-The ranges in Montana" said Mr.. Brooks
to a reporter for The G / o b e, "are in bet-
ter condition than they have been in years
past. The cattle are magnificent and the
shipments will be large. There is difference
Of opinion as to whether as many cattle will
be shipped this year as were shipped last
year, and there Is fear of a hard winter
but l think the preponderance of views is
that shipments will be up to the average
The beef is of such fine quality that their
large weight will offset the difference Of
smaller numbers.
About Is Per cent of the wool has been
marketed at prices ranging from IA to is
cents per pound.
There have been more rains in Montana
this season than in twenty years-even the
bad lands are green with verdure. All over
Montana there is a feeling that the year will
be good for stock raisers.
THE shipment of cattle began today at
Wibeaux, Mont, and at Dickinson NJ D.
Il found things at Spokane, Wash, very
good. Spokane is a great city It Is the CEN

Officials Are Pleased with the Porto

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Iesu Is
thus far achieved by Gen. Miles and
Capt. Higginson, in command Of the
naval squadron in the occupation of
Porto Rico, have created a feeling of
intense satisfaction among officials Of
the Administrations. Information receiv-
ed today, directly from Gen. Miles and
through dispatches to the Associated
Press. was very gratifying to the presi-
dent and his advisers. 1t indicates, as
one official expressed it, that 'Miles is
cleaning up everything as he goes"
The surrender of Ponce, practically
without struggle. is regarded by the
war officials with especial satisfaction.
In Importance it is the second city Of
the island.
While nothing definite is known to
the war officials yet of Gen. Miles p ans
for the immediate future, the statement
i'll his dispatch that the troops will
soon be in the mountain country, is

seem, however, to be much better satisfied
with the situation, not only as regards the
peace outlook. but in relation to the crops

OF Wall street not to disturb the presump-
ton that the grain yield will be very large

ample tonnage for the railroads Western
railroads have also shown disposition to re-

OF this kind was certainly rendered necessary
by the unfavorable statements of June net

LONDON, July 29-Mail advices re-

Mr.. c. F. Partridge, the retiring Unit

he left, and in addition his successor,
Mr.. Samuel Gummere, was escorted to
the consulate, which is still guarded
by Moorish troops.
One American family, which had been
residing at Tangier, went to Europe,
fearing violence.
The conduct of the 5000 Spaniards
generally has been calm, though there
have been a few threats to cut the ca

Watson from using it, and in order
to interfere with the provisioning Of

Rates Disturbed by Competition of
Southern Roads.

The threatened freight rate war caused by
the competition Of the Southern Pacific and
the Panama and clipper lines has broken out
and the transcontinental lines find themselves
drawn into it as matter of protection. The
Southern Pacific has reduced rates for canned
salmon from San Francisco to New York
from so cents to 40 cents, and this has ne
cessitated cut in rates by the Northern Pa
cifc, the Great Northern and the Union Pa
ciflc.
No salmon is canned in San Francisco and
consequently the lines connecting with the
Columbia river, Fraser river and Puget
sound points are obliged to meet the reduc-
ton. The rate today from Seattle by these
lines is 65 cents. 1t used to be 70 cents for
lake and rail and 70 cents by all rail to New
York.
The water competition with the Southern
Pacific has precipitated this war, and it is
not known where it will stop. Other articles
Of shipment are likely to be affected, and
the war is expected to become general. The
Northwestern freight men are very much
disgusted for they were in hopes that they
would not be obliged to settle another fight
They would not mind 1t SO much If it was a
matter of their direct concern, but they dis
like to be drawn into a quarrel by foreign
interests.
