ELkINS IS AN EXPANDER.
The West Virginian Unwilling to Re-
 store Foot of Land to Spain.

Washington, Aug. S.-Once counted
 as a peace-at-any-pric man, Senator
 Elkins has joined the ranks of the eX- .pansion army. Before the war he was
 opposed to hostilities He believed
 there were other methods of settle
 ment than a resort to arms, but he
 vent on record in a speech in the sen ate to the effect that if war had to come the United States should take Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines as the result of that struggle Mr
 Elkins stands upon that platform to- day. At first opposed to all annexa- ton, he now realizes that the condi- tions which he foresaw have come to pass and he does not want a single foot of territory surrendered which has come into the possession of the United States. Porto Rico, he knows, will soon become a part of the United States, and the annexation of Cuba is not much further, distant AS for the Philippines" he says, i've should certainly retain what has been taken at so much cost. There are two req sons why we should keep them. The first is that they are harder to give away titan to retain, and the second is that if Germany and England and other countries want them, they are
 good enough for the United States.
 "The great struggle of the future," continued the senator, will be for ter
 ritory. All the foreign powers want territory in order to extend their mar kets. We want territory for the same reason. This republic will last thou sand years, and hundred years from now we would be willing to pay half billion dollars for the Philippines
 which we can now get for the asking We need these islands in the future as an outlet for our people, while for the present they vin become our home
 markets. We need them as an incen-
 tive for the increase of our shipping
 and for the building up of our navy

 the seas. We need them because they
 mean so much to the Pacific slope, a
 section which is deserving of as much encouragement as the Atlantic coast

..MINING SUPPLIES.
WAR MATERIAL.
An Item in the Terms of inc Peace
 Settlement.

Washington, Aug. S.-The question of the disposition of war materials now in possession of Spain in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, which Spain is anxious to have included in the preliminary agree ment, belongs properly to the final settlement by treaty.
 It is not probable that Spain will be permitted to retain any of the war materials in Cuba or Porto Rico. The disposition of whatever materials Of this sort she may have in the Philip pines will be a matter of great conse- quence to Spain if she is permitted to retain any part of the Philippine group. The belief is strongly sup ported that the administration desires that our acquisition of territory in that region should be confined to the absolute possession of one island. If the rest of the group should be re- stored to Spain-or should never be occupied at all by this government Spain would be rendered helpless to maintain her government over the islands remaining to her if she were
  tary equipment and stores, whatever they amount to. The insurgents are already in possession of a large amount of arms and ammunition, cap tured at Cavite. Spain will naturally strive to secure permission for the withdrawal of her army now at Ma nila, with its arms and equipment, tc another part of the group if the United States should decide merely tc retain the island of Luzon.
 Until definite settlement is reached between Washington and Madrid stories of various kinds may be looked for daily from the Spanish capital calculated to create the impression that concessions from the original de mand have been secured from tht United States. These stories will bt given currency to affect popular feel ing in Spain. They will make no i'm pression here There will be nc abatement in the demand made in tn, proposition presented by the presi dent through M Cambon Nothins further will be done until the answe of the Spanish ministry is received from the French ambassador whel the full text of the communications O the two governments will be mad public.

 "The republican ticket will be elect ed by a majority of 15,0OO' said Colo 1el Moonlight Remember that as the prediction Of one man. Everything points to the defeat of populism this year. The people are tired of chasing rainbows and are ready to settle down to common sense."
 'tWhy did your conference not de- eide to place a ticket in the field?"
 we have no aspiring men. Our people do not care for office. We are fighting for principle and our whole aim is to defeat populism. The ticket that has been nominated is not dem ocratic ticket in any sense and it's de- feat does not mean the defeat of de- mOcracy.
 "For years we fought for principle in Kansas and we were content to do without the offices: We paid taxes for the support of the government, but we had DO voice in it. Still we kept right on fighting. We would be knocked down and immediately we would get up and keep on fighting

Washington, Aug. 8.-Representa- tive Cannon of Illinois is in the city and was one of the presidents visitors today. He talked on business and pol itical matters and did not ask the president about the peace situation. MT. Cannon, in answer to questions, said that the sentiment of the people, as absorbed by him on his rounds, is favorable to the administration.
 Everywhere the people are with the president he said. Especially is this the case in the peace terms proposed to Spain. The people feel that we started out to put Spain off this hemis- phere, and if this is done they will be satisfied. They will be willing to leave the question of the Philippines to the president He is in position to know all the facts about the islands 1l.d whether we ought to keep them pr retain a naval base. The question of the Philippines is one with which the people are not as familiar as they are with Cuba and other questions. l MT. Cannon says that there is lit
