This war was a revolution. The old
America came to an end with the decia-

been maintained by this old America
and substituted for them those of the
other nations of the world. We must
make up our minds as to the new con-

will be encouraged by the recognition
OF force as the last appeal by the central
government itself And. too. entaneie-

nexed BY Us.
MKlNlEY HAS DECIDED
There II No Other Way Out OF 1.-THE
United States VIII Assume the
Debt and VIII Also
Pay Cash.

New York. Oct. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley is convinced there is no
way in which the United States can es-
cape the responsibility of taking all the
Philippines. He has arrived at the
conclusion after mature deliberation.
When the American commissioners
left for Paris IL was not contemplated
they should demand Of Spain more than
the absolute cession of one island to the
United States and a revisionary inter-
est In the other islands Of the group.
1t has been found. however. that there
were many practical difficulties in the
way of such a solution. not the least
of them being the evident impossibility
OF Spain's re-establishing authority
over the remaining islands without a
prolonged and bloody struggle with the
insurgent forces.
This information, coupled with the
opinions OF military and naval COM
manders familiar with the Philippine
situation, led the president to believe
that Dewey's destruction of the Span
ish fleet in Manila bay and General
Merritt's capture of Manila annihilated
Spanish sovereignty in the islands and
to establish a better government than
the one which was destroyed by Ameri-
can arms.
The president has been deluged with
letters from all parts OF the United
States and resolutions from CONNER
cial bodies urging that American SOW
ereignty should be maintained wherever
the flag has been planted. In this line
the presidents recent Western trip was
a revelation to him and to members of
the cabinet who accompanied him. The
further he went west, the stronger he
found the sentiment i'm favor of holding
all the Philippines and establishing an
American government over them.
The Philippines are regarded as
standing on a different basis from Cuba
and Porto Rico and some members of
the administration believe IL all islands
are taken Spain should be given some
measure of compensation for them,
especially as the Philippines have been
by far the most valuable of all her
probable the American commission will
be authorized to go so far as to pledge
the United States to assume the Phil
ippine debt or at least such portion of
IL as has been expended on public
works on the island. was told by a
high official of the administration to-
night IL might be decided that the
Spanish government should receive an
actual cash payment for the Philip
pines In addition to assumption of the
debt or a part Of IL by the United
States.

ANXIOUS TO GET HER.
The Botkin Case May he Appealed 10 the
United States supreme Court.

San Francisco. Oct. 2s.-The attorney
general OF Delaware has Instructed De-
tective Mcvey to employ an attorney at
law to get the Botkin case into the
United states supreme court. A writ of
habeas corpus will be applied for by Nc
Vey In the district or circuit court.
Should the application be denied an sp-
peal Will be taken to the supreme court
OF the United States. There is only one
possible obstacle TO such a course. The
district or circuit court which denied the
application. may also refuse to allow an
appeal. Such a refusal is very rare. and
was held by Judge Sawyer to be beyond
the power OF the lower court In habeas
corpus cases: but both the district and
circuit courts lately refused to permit
Durrant to appeal They took the ground
that the request for leave to appeal was
frivolous and made with intent to hinder
and delay the course Of justice.

THE CITY WINS.
Chicago Street Railway Companies Nuss
Pay for Franchise.

Fay Tor fronchtses.
Chicago. Oct. 2s.-rhe Illinois su-
preme court has decided that the city
council may insist on compensation for
street railway franchises. Corpora
tion Counsel Thornton says the city's
victory In this decision has q wide and
sweeping Significance in the matter OF
grants because IL establishes the rights
OF compensation without any limita-
tion. The decision was given In the
appeal OF the Chicago General Railway
company against a judgment Of $3.50
given the city in a suit to recover dam
ages on the bond Of the company. The
ordinance granting the right TO the
company to operate a street car line
imposed an annual license fee Of 500
for every mile of track.
The company protested against the
payment OF this fee. The supreme court
upheld the right of the city to impose
such a fee and made the broader inter-
probation of the law that the city coun-
ell could insist on compensation for the
use Of the franchise.
The Chicago General Railway COM
pany contended that the imposition OF
the license was a violation of the fed
eral bill of rights in that the company
was denied equal protection under the
laws and was forced to part with Il
without due process of law. The COM
pany maintained that the ordinance
was In the nature of class legislation.
as no such fee had been demanded from
other street railway companies in the
past.
Justice wilkin gave an opinion in the
case and on this point Of the city In
sisting on the additional condition Of q
$500 license fee. he says:
1t was clearly within the power OF
the council. by it's ordinance. to mako
this additional condition IL il so de-
sired. IL Is now claimed the condition
Is unreasonable or against public pol
icy. and therefore void. II Is not for
this court to review the acts OF the city
council. which are within It's discretion
and within the grant OF power to to-"
The court also held that the power tn
impose such a tax Is entirely discre-
tionary and that II may insist upon
such compensation from one company
and decide that the tax Is not warrant-
ed In another case
