H0AR DECLARES
AGAINST EXPANSION.
Says None Has a Constltu.
tlonal Right to Purchase
Sovereignty.

Worcester, Mass Nov. 3d.
Senator Hoar announced himself
to day as positively opposed to the
acquisition of the Philippines by the
United States In communication
to the Gazette, he says: eve have
not, so far, any news which is
absolutely trustworthy Of what they
are doing in Paris But If the report
is true that it is proposed to buy of
Spain the sovereignty of the Philip.
pine islands. and to pay $20,0G0,000
fox it, do not believe that such
treaty will be agreed to, and | do
not believe it ought to be agreed to.
Spain has very little sovereignty in
the Philippines to sell just now, and
l do not think the people of the
United States are in the market to
buy sovereignty, or that the consti.
tuition has conferred on anybody the
right to buy any such commodity.
The constitution was framed upon
the theory that sovereignty is not
salable article. The people of the
United States have conferred upon
nobody the power to make such
purchases in their behalf. We have
acquired territory either vacant or so
sparsely settled that there was no
people capable of governing it and
no germ of national life. We have
also, 10 one recent case, acquired a
territory where the original germ of
national life had perisbed But
neither of these precedents applies
to the Philippine archipelago, with
its millions of inhabitants.

Commissioners Look Out for
Her West Indian Trade.

Paris, Dec. l.--Anxious as both
are to conclude their work, the
Uuited States ard Spanish peace
commissions did not hold a joint
session TO- day Their next meeting
will be held at 2 O'Clock to morrow
afternoon.
This delay arose from the fact shat
the Spanish commissioners at yes
terday's session offered several urgent
propositions which called for special
deliberation upon the part of Che
Americans. Spain asks the United
States to grant for a term of five
years to Spanish ships carrying Span.
ish goods or products to Puerto Rico
and Cuba the same privilege as
American vessels engaged in the
sane trade may have, and she
qualities this request by q proviso
that trade privileges be extended to
Cuba so long as the United States
government is dominant over the
island.
In support of this request the
Spanish commissioners assert that
Spain cannot, without vital harm,
Immediately abandon or cut the bust.
ness relations 80 long maintained
between the mother country aud the
West Indian territories
They declare that family ties and
social relations, added to affairs of
trade maintained through centuries,
require gradual dissolution They
invoke the terms of the treaty of
1919 by which the United States
took over Florida from Spain and in
the fifteenth article of which granted
Spain for IL years the right to send
her goods and products to Florida in
Spanish ships, on the same terms as
the ships carrying tither goods and
products Of of the United States
The Spanish commissioners cite
further the fact that the treaty of
1903 with France for the cessation of
Louisiana granted French and spanish
goods and products the same terms
az Americans in New Orleans and
other ports in the ceded territory.
