NO POLICY YET FORMED
EUROPEAN POWERS AWAIT OUR
 ANNOUNCEMENT.
As There Is No Alarm Over the Present Attitude Of Germany Dewey Will not Need
 Battle-Ships.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 23-The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the following: President Mckinley and his advisers are struggling with the problem of final disposition of the Phil ipTines. No settled policy has yet been determined upon except the necessity of retaining a coaling station on the islands. Beyond that the developments of the future must determine what shall be done. Reassured of Germany's neutrality by the visit of the German Ambassador and by representations made by the German Government to the American Ambassador in Berlin, the authorities do not consider 1t so important to reinforce Rear Admiral Dewey with battle-ships, as Secretary Long said to me some days ago would be done. Rear Admiral Dewey's fleet will be increased in the next ten days by the monitor Monterey and a few days thereafter by the Monadnock. and with these the authorities believe he will be able to cope with the Ger man force should developments of the future indicate, as does not now seem to be the case. that the Berlin Govern ment proposes to take hand in the final disposition of the islands I talked to-day with prominent diplomat who is well versed in the Eastern situation.
 At the present time" he said. com plications with the insurgents seem more probable than trouble with a third power. Aguinaldo has a very un- savory record, and Consul Wildman. who introduced him to Rear Admiral Dewey probably knew it. I suppose 1t was desirable to exhaust the Spanish by attacks from the insurgents, but it would have been better, the develop ments show. had Aguinaldo net been. returned to the Philippines.
 Tt seems to me that the United States should make haste to declare it's policy with respect to the islands If they are to be returned to Spain, the United States must declare it's inten- tion to assist Spain in holding them Otherwise there will be a general grab in which all the powers will partici- pate. Germany may be unable to se- cure the consent of Europe to inter- fere with the operations of the Ameri- cans because of Russia's alliance with

 The Emperor and the War Ministry are greatly elated at the recent returns of the French general staff, showing France has reached the utmost limit with her regular army, while Germany could easily enlarge her army 25 per cent more than France if such a step is deemed advisable.
 This, it is said, is not contemplated at present, the plans being rather to improve the compositions of the resi- ments last created and to increase the efficiency of both the artillery and cav airy, as well as to enlarge the techni- cal branch.

SMALL BIDDERS GET
 ALL OF THE BONDS
Only Applicants for Lots of Less Than Five Thousand Dollars
 Will Be Successful.

NEY YORK, July 23.-A Washington special to the Herald says: Applicants for war bonds in lots of $50O0, of whom there are thousands in New York alone, need hope no longer They will not get even the small percentage of the bonds for whic, they have sub scribed. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip told me this after noon that while final figures as to the not receive any bonds whatever. The entire issue of s2OO COG, 900 will be ab- allotment of bonds could not yet be given out, he could now say positively that subscribers for lots ce $5o00 would sorbed by subscribers for amounts of less than $5000
 It is known that a considerable num- Der of bonds have been purchased for speculative purposes, as was unavoid- able, in spite of all precautions adopted by the department to prevent it. The officials believe, however, that the great majority of small subscribers were investors, and that the amount of the issue that will find it's way into the hands of financial institutions and banks will be much smaller than would have been the case had subscribers for lots of $5000 and $10,000 received their bonds.

 United States Ambassador, in an inter view with the correspondent of the As sociated Press. Besides" continued Mir.

New York, Special.-E. L. Bonner
of Montana, in the course of q con-
yersation, made the suggestion that
every ex-prcsidcnt Of the United
Statcs should be sent to the senate.
Mr.. Bonner, who is on his way to
Italy. and one Of the wealthiest citi-
of Montana, where he has large MN
ing. agricultural and industrial in
tcrcsts, said: ""-..~'m-
'.Thcre is one thing that should
be settled and that is the term Of
presidents and the treatment Of
them when their terms expire. /
think a president ought to be elected
for a term Of eight years and then
be ineligible for reelection. Upon
his retirement | think he should be
placed upon a pension equal to one
half the salary he drew as PRESIDENT.
Thus hc would 90 into Office pra cti-
callv unlcttcrcd and would not have to
trim, politically or otherwise, to-
ward the future. 1t does not seem
to me that an cy-prcsidcnt should be
compelled to 60 to Il small town
and practice law for a living. |
think he should be sent to the SEN
ate, to remain rs long as he lives.

nation would be extremely beneficial

close Of the interview: ~". s.

favor Of international DimctalliSm,
as promised by the ST. Louis plat
FORM lie considers that ncgotia
tions with European powers are only
temporarily suspended on account of
the peculiar condition Of affairs in
India and it is the presidents in
tention to again send his cnvoys to
Europe as soon as conditions are
Favorable for continuing the ncgo-
tiations.''
Chandler added thai it was his
opinion that the president is as
earnestly in favor Of bimctalism, tho
use OF both metals as standard
money, as the senator himself.

Chance Harris Dead.

Chance l.. Harris died very sudden
~ at $3.50 o'clock this morning at his
room over Richards undertaking
rooms. He was in his usual good
health up to last evening when he
slipped on an icy sidewalk and strain
cd himself across the chest. Tho
injury caused him some pain but he
refused to allow the doctor to be
called in, thinking that the pain
would soon cease. About 3 o'clock
the pain grew worse and Mr.. Rich
ards and his assistant, William
Knight, applied hot cloths to his
chest. While they were so engaged
he suddenly became unconscious and
died u few minutes later. He did
not consider his condition at all SER
ious and up to the last refused ia
allow physician to be sent for.

struggle for the county seat Of RAJ
yalli county is to be dcplored. AL
though it was supposed as matter
of course that there would be an cf-
fort by some town this year to secure
the county seat, it was not thought,
even outside Of Stcvcnsvillc, that the
contest would be started so soon.
The election will not be held for
nearly ten months yet, and this idea
of keeping the people OF the county
worked up aud agtatcd ten months
over something that is not really
worth as much as imagined is very
unwisc. From all accounts three
towns, Grantsdalc, Hamilton and
Victor, are sending runners out for
the purpose Of securing signatures
to a petition in their behalf, and
this is certain to divert the minds OF
the people from more important
things. The contest has been start
ed four or five months too soon. AS
tor the part for StevcnsvilIc to take,
we believe the best policy at present
is one Of mastery inactivity: sign
no petitions at all, and await de-
velopmcnts.

Missoula TO Have a Creamery.

Missoula, Jan. 6.-Petter Fodder
sohn will start d creamery in Mis-
sOula as soon as the necessary ma
chinery can be landed and placed in
position. Mr.. Feddcrsolln has been
studying the subject Of creamcries
for some time and has reached the
conclusion that there is an opening
here for i profitable Institution Of
that kind in this city. lie has visit
cd the creamerics in various parts OF
the state Of Washington and has
studied their methods. From his
observations he has reached the con-
clusion that d creamery to be success
iul must be in the city rather than
in the country, and he will therefore
establish his plant in his block on
Higgins avenue From his own
dairy he will have nearly 100 gallons
Of milk day and he has this week
contracted for 100 gallons a day from
various points in the Bitter Root
i'his is a starter and he will increase
his field as rapidly as possible. His
plant will have a capacity Of about
800 gallons a day to start with, and
he believes that@thc city will sup
port creamery Of that size easily.
Mr.. Fcddcrsohnss long experience in
the dairy busiress and his excellent
standing in the city will make his
new work easier than it would be
otherwise, and there seems to be no
reason why the plan should not sue
coed. He viii have the cordial sup
port Of the local trade and that will
help him out some. His plans are
all made and as soon as the machin-
cry is here he will be ready to start.

Mantle Case Il Precedent.

Washington, Jan. 10.--It has been
expected that the committee on
privileges and elections would at
tempt today to take up the claim of
II. W. COrbett to a seat in the senate
from Oregon on the appointment Of
the governor of that state, but owing
to the absence Of Senator Burrows
the meeting will not be held until
next Monday. Mr.. Burrows is the
only republican on the committee who
will oppose the seating of Mr.. Cor
bett. He takes the position that
the decision in the Mantle case is a
precedent against the appointment
OF senators when the legislature has
had an opportunity to act, which
cannot be put aside. His vote vii
thus have the effect Of sending the
matter to the senate on an adverse
report, as without Mr.. Burrows the

1t is no longer possible for the pes
