HANSBROUGH'S PLAN.
Proposes a Four-cornered Protectorate
For the Philippines.

Washington. Aug. Ex-senator Hans
brough of North Dakota today authorized
an interview, in which he said:
Il have been surprised on meeting prom
inent business men in the last 50 days to
find almost a unanimity of feeling in IA
vor of holding the Philippines. At first
l supposed it was merely the outcome of
enthusiasm over the success of our arms
and a desire to keep the flag wherever it
has been planted. but L find the senti-
ment in favor of territorial expansion
growing. l doubt. however if people who
are enthusiastic over the question at this
time have stopped to consider that to re-
tain control of the Philippines contem-
plates a standing army OF perhaps 40 900
to $4,000 men, 1900 miles away from home,
with enormous expenses for construction
of garrisons, etc. The serious part of it
to my mind is that if we do not take the
Philippines, the several foreign powers
now seeking control will undertake to
plant themselves in the island and the
whole eastern question, so-called. will be
transferred to and for some time revolve
about the Philippines. 1 presume that
some amicable arrangement could be en-
tered into on the part of the United States
with the foreign nations who are reach
ing out for power in the new territory,
whereby a joint protectorate could be
agreed to. giving France England Ger
many and Russia the same privileges that
we ask.

London, Aug. 24.-The Madrid CORE
spondent OF the Times says: One pa

ity of an anonymous French diplomat
list, that, owing to M. Hanotaux's eX-
ertionS, a treaty of alliance has been
signed between Spain, France and
Russia, with the object of counter
acting the Anglo German influence in
Morocco. Other papers mention this
matter. but without affirming that the
treaty has been actually signed.
The idea of Il permanent rapproche-
ment between France and Spain is GER
tainly in the air and assumes. consider
able practical Importance. 1t had It's
origin in Frances role in the peace ne
gotiationS and reports of friction with
England over Spains military activity
in the neighborhood of Gibraltar
Many patriotic Spaniards, who appre-
bend further sacrifices during the
forthcoming peace negotiations, regard
the suggestion OF a French alliance
with much favor, especially as France
would be very useful also in the great
work OF financial and economic re-
organization, which Spain must under
take directly peace is concluded.
At the same time, it must be noted
that the protocol signed under French
auspices has produced a deal of popular
dissatisfaction, because while making
the loss of the Antilles irrecovable, 1T
may also result in the loss of the Phil
ippines 1t remains to be seen whether
France will render effective assistance.

CATHOLICS AND SCHOOLS.
Bishop Messmer Opposes the Position
of Archbishop Ireland.

Milwaukee, Aug. 2S.-It was II
O'Clock when the German Roman
Catholic society's convention met to-
day, the services at the formal opening
of the standardization Catholic day
in st. Mary's church having been ex-
tended.
Five bishops, one of them an arch
bishop, attended the convention. Two
of them made addresses, one deliver
ing an admonition that came from the
pope direct. Bishop Messmer, who has
just returned from his pilgrimage to
Rome, spoke concerning the school
question. Not only did he take a rad
ically opposite stand to Archbishop
Ireland with reference to the schools,
but he told the members of the socie-
ties that the propaganda regretted
that so many Catholics were sending
their children to the public schools in
place of parochial schools.
Bishop Schwebach said he fully en-
dorsed all that Bishop Messmer had
said.
Referring to the money that had
been contributed for the establishment
of German chair in the Washington
university, Bishop Messmer recon-
mended that the fund be turned over
to the Catholic seminary at st. Fran
els.

NEW GAS DISCOVERED.
Heat Conductivity Thousand Times
Greater Than Hydrogen.

Boston. Mass, Aug. 2S-Before the
American Association For the Advance
ment of Science, now in annual session
mere, Mr.. Charles f. Brush read a pre-
liminary paper of unusual interest today
on "A New Gas" This is a constituent
of the atmosphere and is found absorbed
in many instances. Its chief character
istics thus far experimentally determined
are enormous heat conductivity and low
pressure. Mr.. Brush showed that its
conducuvity, even when added with a
large excess of other gases, is something
the best gaseous conductor heretofore
known, and conjectures that the conduc-
tivity of the pure gas will be found a
thousand or more times that of hydrogen.
Mr.. Brush discovered the new gas nearly
year and a half ago while looking for
secluded hydrogen in gas.
