THE PHILIPPINES.
Sovereignty Not Acquired by the
Bare Fact of Possession.
1icago Times-lierald. .

Chicago Times-Herald.
Henry Wade Rogers, president OF
Northwestern university, and reCog-
n.zod authority on international law de-
cares that the United States does not
now own the Philippine islands. even II
Commodore Dewey has taken them and
set up the American flag over ale capital
city of Manila.
IN my opinion" said DR.. Rogers. lit
is too early 10 say what the policy OF the
United States should be as 10 these ISL
ands. In the first place. the United States
has no title 10 the islands. Ownership and
sovereignty are not acquired by the bare
fact of possession. Nattel and writer's on
international law since his time have
abandoned The theory that territory passes
as r5s nuilius into the possession of an
occupant The original national character
of their inhabitants remains unaltered, and
The United States can have nothing better
than a quaSi-sovcreignty over them.
IF the United states shall remain in
posse ssion of the islands when peace is
concluded. il will DE entitled 10 retain
them permanently or dispose of them as
1t sees fit, provided there Is no stipulation
TO the contrary N the treaty of peace.
The United States may acquire title by
conquest. But to do 50, 1t must announce
It's intention TO appropriate and manifest
its ability to keep the islands The first
IS shown by a proclamation OF annexation,
and writers ON international law tell US
that ability 10 keep must I've proved either
by the conclusion of peace or by the es-
adjustment Of All equivalent state of
things.
"At present, we have no rights OF SOW
ereignty over these islands, and nothing
we could dispose OF If We were so in
clIned In the second place, il is TOO early
TO form n definite policy as 10 the course
wa should pursue. "a subsequent events
may make II necessary 10 formulate IN
entirely different policy"

the big fight in the reality can have an op-
portunity of viewing the famous event by
means of Edison's science.
The minuteness with which every detail
Of. the fight Is given IS marvellous. The
performance begins by showing the pre-
liminary arrangements after FitZs.mmons
ard Corbett has entered the ring; the an
nouncer telling the terms of the fight; the
introduction of the prize fighters, with the
refusal of Fitz to take Corbetts preferred
hand, and then the fighting. Every round
is shown, including the sixth, where Cor
bett seems to have the best Of the fight,
F'ltz being en- his knees. The hot fighting
lin all the other rounds is shown. The
principal feature is the knockout blow in the
fourteenth round, which is plainly shown.
The announcer at the performance calls
your attention to the time and position Of
the men, in order that the audience Will be
able to see the blow given. One can also
see the blow delivered on the jaw, given i'm
mediately after the knockout blow, as Cor
bett is sinking to his knees. 1t was this
last blow that was claimed a foul, Corbetts
seconds claiming his knee had reached the
floor before the blow was received, N
which case It would have been foul and
the contest awarded to Corbett. The blow
was not a foul, however, as the pictures
prove that the knee had not reached the
floor when the blow was received. The pie
ture shows Corbett's agony, his attempt to
rise, and, not being able to de- so without
assistance, he crawls to the ropes and pulls
himself to his feet, but not before the
referee has counted ten and places his
