In the peace negotiations one of
President McKinley's provisions
is that the United States shall
have possession of Manila until an
agreement is reached as to the dis.
position, control and government
Of the Philippine islands. That
leaves the whole Philippine ques.
ton for deiberation. If the peo-
pie of this county desire to try the
experiment Of governing some of
the savage tribes of the western
Pacific, they can do SO. The sue.
cess met in establishing sound
government in the civilized island
of Cuba will probably effect the
public feeling regarding the eastern
islands. If there is much trouble
in Cuba between the American
forces and insurgents, it will de.
crease the American appetite tor
tho PHILIPPINE islands.

Speaker Reed has been renomi.
mated for congress in the First
congressional district of Maine.
In his speech ofacceptance he said:
II am very grateful for your con.
tinued kindness to me, and, being
in Portland, it is not unsuitable
for me to come here and say so. l
have no other purpose than this.
A newspaper the other day an
nounced that I would come here
and open the campaign. That is
not so, [ shall not open any
campaign, for the simple reason
that there seems to be no cam.
paign to open. In this district
there appears to be thus tar great
harmony in both parties as to the
great issues of the past and l shall
leave to somebody else the task of
disturbing it. All oyer the coun'
try also there is a dearth of politi.
cal feeling. Inever knew less of
it in all the years that [ have
known of such things. To me,
this seems fortunate for the coun.
try. I do not refer to the war
alone. The war is taking care of
itself, and seems likely to be soon
finished by the fighting qualities Of
our soldiers, qualities not dimin.
lshed by thirty.three years of
peace, and by the skill of our ma
val gunners, engineers and sailors,
which skill the general education
Of our people seems to have won.
derfuIly increased. The unfalter-
ing courage of both soldiers and
and sailors is a cause of pride to
every American. The problems
after the war will be the most
troublesome and demand the most
earnest efforts of us all. For my
part, I hope that all these prob
lens may be worked out consist.
emily with our time.honored and
dearly bought institutions and
with the traditions of our wise
forefathers."

DULUTH.TO EUROPE.

West Superior, Wis.,, Aug. g.
The largest whaleback ever built,
the steamer Alexander McDougall,
left the slip at the barge works
yesterday, and went to the Masaba
ore docks to load with 5000 tons
of ore for her maiden trip down
the great lakes.
Captain McDougall, the invent
or Of the whaleback, is of the
opinion that boats will soon be
going direct from Superior to
Europe. He said: "Next year
the new Canadian canal will be
opened and it will offer a broader
field for lake carriers. Boats car.
rying 1900 to 1900 tons will be
able to 60 direct from Duluth 70
Montreal and Quebec, and thence
to England and European ports
The new canal will permit of the
passage of boats 270 feet long and
drawing fourteen feet of water.
Vessels of this type can sail on
the lakes during the season Of
navigation, and can then go to the
sea and remain there in commits
sion all winter, when freight rates
on the ocean will demand it.
Within the next five years l ex-
pect to see a feet of at least 100
boats of this class trading between
Duluth and European ports.

Trade Conditions.

The past week has been quite dull
in business circles, but not any more
so than was expected. The farmers
were all busy harvesting their wheat.
and have too much at stake to leave
It to come to market for anythiU &
unless it is to facilitate their work.
Reports from all sections indicate
that previous estimates of the yield
in all products will he fully realized,
and as nearly all grain will he cut
by Saturday night. the crop is prac-
tically safe. The wheat is said to be
a good quality, and although 1t
ripened very fast the berry is well
filled.
Based on the new crop wheat quo
tationa are considerably lower than
last week. Old wheat always brings
from 5 to 10 cents more than new
wheat, when the latter IL first put
ON the market, and it is not then as
good for grinding as the old wheat.
Some of the local wheat buyers
think that the wheat proposition
this fall is difficult one to guess at.
There seems to be an immense yield
all over the country, which will have
a tendency, Of course, to make prices
lower, and some express the opinion
that the price of wheat will not go
above Is cents this fall. and that the
probable range of prices will be from
IS, the present figure, to IS or 20
cents.
Potatoes have gone down to IS
and 20 cents per bushel In the loca!
market, which reduction Is, OF
course, caused by the prospect OF an
enormous yield.
