luton took place. On one day the
idea of keeping the Philippines had
not occurred to anybody; on the next,
few people thought of giving them
up. Now, also, it is appreciated that
it is impossible to dispose of them to
any other power without the gravest
complications, while public sentiment
is intolerant Of the idea of restoring
them to Spanish misrule. Thus in
every direction events hayel moved

In Ambassador Hays words, it has
been a case of the imposition Of invis-

boldly what the fortunes of war have
brought and turn its face toward a
new destiny? The struggle will be
long and bitter.
He would be a bold or a reckless
man who would venture to prophesy
the outcome. Still 1900 men have
gone to Manila, 5000 are going in
ten days and more afterward probably
till 20, 600 are there, and these troops
are hardly sent merely to be recalled.
Moreover I have reason to believe it
has been decided to enforce only a
moderate revenue tariff upon the
philippines, to which American goods
will be subject like the goods of other
nations, and this is already SO great a
departure from tradition as to render
other departures less surprising.
Cuba will be given every chance of
freedom, but if, as may we'll be, she
lacks the elements of independence,
she must become American. That
Porto Rico will be retained feel sure.

The United State Supreme Cour-
has reversed the decision of the SUIT
preme Court OF Pennsylvania uphold
ing of the constitutionality of the
oleomargerine law Of that State. The
law is held to be an infringement Of
that provision OF the Federal Consti-

the power to regulate commerce among
the States. The rule Of free trade be-
tween the States is Of such paramount
value to the public welfare that it is
scrupulously maintained against even

Washington star. Tuesday.
President Mckinley has not aban-
doned hope that Congress will annex
Hawaii before 1t adjourns. He has
not ceased quiet and telling work with
friends in the national legislature to
have something done. Prior to the
cabinet meeting this morning he
chatted with number Of his callers,
renewing his expressions Of hope that
Hawaii will become part OF the domain
OF Uncle Sam before Congress finishes
its work for this session.
Senator Elkins was one of the men
who talked with the President, II am
willing to stay here until black frost

FUTURE NATIONAL POLICY.
An English Editors Views Upon the
Present Situation.

fiOoCut OitudtiOH.
Henry Norman, editor o. the Lon
don Daily Chronicle, whose letters
from Washington during the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispute attracted
such wide spread attention, is in
Washington again as war correspon-
dent OF his paper. He has cabled the
following to the Chronicle:
Since my arrival have sought dill
l gently in all quarters for some true
outline or suggestion of the policy to
be pursued by the United States in
the immediate future. The result Of
the war is a foregone conclusion.
Each days news has, therefore, only
an incidental interest. But wholly
without intention on the part OF the
administration, the country is rapidly
approaching situation where a de-
cision more momentous than any for
century past must be taken. The
results of this decision will affect
European nations hardly less than
America itself Upon such matter |
have been unwilling to say a word
until convinced it was based upon
solid facts. l have conversed with al
most every man, beginning with the
highest, whose authority will mould
the issue, and with many old friends
and new acquaintance representa-.
tive of all shades of opinion. The in
quiry has been like the search for z
needle in hay stack, and | have now
reached the conclusion that in thi.
particular stack there is no needle a,
all.
| mean that neither in the White
House nor the State Department is
there any definite conviction or de.
termination concerning the future di
rection of the national policy with re-
gard to the disposal Of those oversee
possessions over which the American
flag will be flying when the war is
over. This may sound like hostile
criticism. Nothing is further from
my mind. The United States has
drifted steadily toward its new fate.
If the Maine had not been blown up,
war would not exist today. The neu-
trality of England forced Admiral
Dewey's squadron to sea to smash the
Spanish Asiatic squadron, and to
seize Manila was his only course.
This accomplished, it became instantly
imperative to send reinforcements,
and these had to be strong enough to
defeat twenty Spanish regiments and
occupy the principal islands.
The same is true of the Atlantic.
When war was declared it was believ-
ed that the insurgents were capable
of taking the field against the Spanish
ifsupplied with arms, ammunition and
food. 1t is now known they are who'll
ly incapable of this, and the military

Spain will meyer be able to pay our
bill for damages and there is no other
way for final settlement of the ac-
count than to hold the captured terri
tory as security with the chance of
some sort Of negotiations with powers
more anxious to cwn islands than we
are. Indemnity for the past and
security for the future, is the recipe
for the occasion.

There is not halfso much danger Of
hostile intervention on the part Of the
European Powers to terminate the
war as of the hostile efforts of Popu-
listic Senators to break down the pub
lie credit before the war shall have
ended. Sagasta has more trustworthy
friends in Washington than in Paris
or Berlin or st. Petersburg.

BUTTE BANKER SHOT.

The Murderer, Thomas RILEY,
Gioafs 0per His crime-Indica-
fions Point to the Murder Being
Premedifated One.
Thomas ]. Riley could not obtain
work because he is cripple, so he de-
liberately killed Patrick A. Larpey,
president OF the State Saving Bank,
whom he blamed partly for his MANNED
condition, at is minutes to ] o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
There Is evidence to show that the
murder was premeditated, for Riley
walked into the bank which is situated
at the southwest corner Of Main and
Park streets, talked with Mr.. Largey a
few minutes and then drew revolver
from his hip POCKET and fired two bull
lets into the banker. Without waiting
10 learn the effects OF his work, and
with his mind filed with thoughts OF
escape, he hobbled out of the building.
Near the door he saw Frank w. Holmes,
the teller, with his head close to the
bars which guard his window, and with.
out word OF warning, he raised his
pistol and fired again. Holmes lodged;
the fraction of an inch saved his life.
The report of the last shot had scarce
ly died away before Riley was arrested
by Martin Pishkur, jailor at the county
Jail. He expressed no regret for his
terrible deed, but rather gloried in It.
Hanging had no terrors for him, he
said. All he asked was quick trial, 81
that all would end soon.
Late in the afternoon Riley was taker
secretly TO Deer Lodge to prevent an,
possibility OF lynching. There wa
little danger of such thing occurring
but Sheriff Regan decided not 10 TAX,
