THE OPEN Door IN THE PHILIPPINES.
TfnSS-London, Nov "a.
There has been considerable specula.
tion in this country, in the United States
and on the Continent as to the meaning
THE open door policy in the Philippine
Islands. Bald announcements of the.
intention Of the American Government
to extend the customs tariff OF the United
States 10 these islands have been eagerly
seized upon by hostile critics, in order
to suggest that English hopes are
doomed to disappointment, and that the
United States, while taking advantage
OF any doors that we may keep open in
the Far East, will exclude our com merce
as far as possible from territory under
American control. Itis, of course, easy
enough to understand that certain |
critics are eager to find flaws in the /
Anglo lo-American understanding, which |
they regard with III concealed uneasi-
ness. For our own part we have always
been aware that there are difficulties in
the way OF the adoption by the United
States OF an open door policy in the
philippines, as that policy is understood
usually IN this country; but we have
never doubted for an instant the SINGER.
Ity OF the United States Government, or
its ability 70 devise some means Of sub.
securing the results aimed at.
Mr.. Hay has now explained to anxious
nquirers the policy which the Govern
nent intend to pursue, He states that
he ordinary American customs tariff
Will be forced in the Philippines as
against all nations equally. not excluding
ne United States themselves. For all
International purposes that is the policy
II the open door. Economical purists
nay argue that, as the tariff must operate [
q restraint Of trade, the door is to be | a
egarded as very partially open; but, n
'hatever force there may be in that Fl
rgument, 1t IS OF purely dom estic v
pplication. Equality OF treatment and P
Osence of differential duties are the %
'sence of the open door policy as II
etween nation and nation. The precise vi
'ohng upon whiC goods enter the W

onsequence SO long as the footing is the Il

DaiIy News-London, Nov. "a.

The interesting and important dis
patch from our Correspondent at Wash
inSton throws a new light upon the
possible results of American expansion.
The rather vague assurances hitherto
given by the American Government had
been taken to mean that the goods of
all nations would be admitted to the Phil.
ippine Islands free of duty. But Mr..
Secretary Hay now points out that if
the Islands are annexed they will come
at once under the ordinary tariff, which
the Constitution requires to be the same
throughout the Union. This, indeed.
as our Correspondent says, 'is not free
trade" Very far from it, as Mr.. Dinglev
can testify. Once the PHILIPPINES
become part OF the Union, they could
only be put under a separate tariffbyan
amendment of the Constitution, and the
Constitution can only be amended by
majority Of two thirds Of Congress.
supported by three-iourths ofthe States.
Ii on the other hand. or so long as, the
Philippines are held under a Protecto
rate, the President may make special
regulations for their trade, and may
provide that there shall he no import
duties, though he is not, we imagine,
very likely TO do so. Porto Rico has
been annexed, and the annexation of
Cuba is virtually settled. But over the
future OF the Philippines a dispute is
raging. We do not mean in Paris,
where the Spanish Commissioners,
having no choice. must give way. In
America itself opinions are sharply
DIVIDED between advocates of the Eng
lish system and adherents to the old |
doctrine that all are
within the Union. Enthusiasm
or American expansion will be consid-
erably abated il it means the proportion

The LIPPE DETMoLD INCIDENT.
MSveHyy-Leeds, Nov a..

Lippe Detmold is a tiny principality
with a population of a hundred thousand
souls, and the German Emperor is one
OF the great monarchs OF Europe,
commanding an army of two millions Of
trained soldiers. The origin
Of the trouble may be briefly recalled.
Prince Alexander, who succeeded. to
the throne OF Lippe Detmold in 1905, IS
incspacitated by a mental malady from
discharging the duties OF his position.
There we're several claimants for the
Regency, one of whom, Prince Adolphe
of Schaumberg Lippe, was the brother
in law Of the German Emperor, and all
the influence Of Berlin was thrown into
the scale in support of his candi-
dature. The question was referred to
the Supreme Court Of the Empire, but
the Prussiau representatives in the
Federal Council secured the defeat Of
proposal to provide the Court with the
necessary powers for deciding the issue.
A Court OF Arbitration was ultimately
appointed under the Presidency Of the
