greater questions growing out of the
war as relating 10 Cuba and Porto
Rico viii have TO be deal, with BY the
United States alone.
The fact that the Philippines will
present the difficult problem In the
peace negotiations has caused the .ad-
minisiration 10 give IL Il great deal of
careful attention. Several suggestions
have been made as 10 what shall be
done, one being the retention of the
bay. city and the harbpr Of Manila,
just wha, the protocol gives temporar
ily. Another is that Subig bay and
sufficient amount OF territory for
naval and coaling station be secured
and the building up Of an American
city at that place begun. Still another
idea. which IL being considered. is the
retention of the island Of Luzon, the
advocates OF that plan believing that
there would be trouble between the
governments which occupied portion
Of the island with n line of demarlSa-
ton such as would exist In case Ma
Mia and the bay only Were retained.
The island of Luzon is the largest of
the group and contains about 100000
people, which are said To be the better
class In the Philippines. II Is believed,
however. ihnt the administration aud
the commission win be greatly infiu-
enced by the reports which Admiral
Dewey aud General Merritt viii make
on the subject. Their reports are cx.
pectd before the commission meets.

MAY BUILD A ROAD.
Duluth & Iron Range May Have an
Opposition Line.

DULUTH. MIMI, Aug. 12-Since the pur-
chase of the Pioneer mine by the Oliver Min
ing company 1t has been announced from
Pittsburg, which is the headquarters of
Messrs. Oliver and Carnegie, that the COM
pany has secured options on valuable harbor
lines and water rights and rights Of way
for railroad from the Minnesota ranges to
Lake Superior, near Duluth, and that it will
build very soon.
The road. it is stated, will be first built
to the Vermillion range where the Pioneer
Zenith and other mines of the Oliver Mining
company are located, and later a branch will
be run to the Mesaba, where it holds the
Mountain Iron and Oliver mines 1t is not
probable that such a road could be con-
structed for less than S12 coo, 900 if built on
the lines that MIR. Carnegie would consider
necessary for his traffic in such a country,
nor that it could be constructed to carry ore
successfully before 1900.
The Carnegie Steel company, which owns
lve-sixths Of the stock of the Oliver Mining
company, has lately completed the Pittsburg,
Bessemer & Lake Erie road, running from
Conneaut on the lake to It's furnaces at Pitts
burg, and It is the model road in America.
carrying its ore at about three mills per
ton per mile. The same company will not
be content to construct road from its Min
nesota mines to Lake Superior that cannot
carry ore as cheaply as the other, and this
will mean very costly line. However, If
the company can get from the Duluth & Iron
Range road a sufficiently low rate on ore it
will, perhaps, not build.
