The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-10-20

The statement made in yesterday
mornings dispatches. before the yacht
race. that the shamrock had been re-
measured. and in consequence would be
obliged under the rules TO yield the
American yacht few seconds time
allowance, must have been puzzling to
everybody outside OF a few racing
sharps. II seems that the difference
between the two boats which necessi-
tates an evening up through the device
OF a time allowance has to do with
their length at the water line. and since
at the outset the Irish boat received
instead Of granted time allowance. it
appeared difficult to account for her
astonishing change in length since the
contest began. The mystery, however,
is easily explainable when it is remem-
bered that it is the quantity Of ballast
taken or discharged from on board that
makes the changes in a boats length
at the water line The fact that the
Shamrock has undergone a remeas-
urement and conceded the Columbia
the time allowance required shows
that the managers Of the foreign yacht
have admitted that she was no match
for the Columbia in her former condi-
tion, and are now endeavoring to re-
pair their mlscalculations by remedy /
ing her displacement in the water. II
will be noticed that the Yankee boat
has made no change, her managers evi-
IDENTIFY concluding that she is a good
enough boat TO save the cup as she is.
This alteration in the Irish yacht will
be watched with interest by those who
are following the races, and it ls a
confession Of weakness, whether il
helps or mars the speed Of the Sham
rock, which cannot b. else than graft

States and vests the sovereignty of the
Philippines in this country Under III
terms We have numerous international
obligations to fulnn. These cannot be
transferred to the Tagals. who have
( neither the resources nor the ability "a
4 discharge them. The Tagel leaders
take the position that they will offer
armed resistance 20 the treaty until
the democratic party can elect a presi-
dent, repudiate the treaty, give up the
sovereigIIy to a single tribe In sixty,
and cvacuate the islands, II is the
most insolcnt demand ever made upon
the Tinted states and every day bullets
are showered upon our troops to en-
force II.
Patriotic and self-respecting demo-
Gratis may well call halt upon false
and foolish leaders who have placed the
party in such light that Agulnaldo
claims II as an ally. For the next
thirteen months the Tagals propose to
contest every inch OF ground with arms
In the distinctly avowed hope that the
democrats may elect the next president
and h majority OF congress. Hundreds
OF American lives will be sacrificed in
that time. II Is a sad fact that sor-
row VIII, be brought TO many American
homes because the consplrators in Luz
zon conceive that the democratic party
sympathizes with TagRl victories and
is eager to replace the American nag
with that OF the socalled Filipino
republic" The evidence that such is
the Tagal belief and purpose is now
before the citizens OF the United
States. II comes embodied In an off,
clal proclamation signed by the leader
OF the Tagal revolt. Upon future dem
ocratic action rests the rejection or ac-
ceptance OF AguinaldO's proclamation
to the effect that the democratic party
has espoused his cause.
Aguinaldo in his proclamation de-
clares that in America there is a
great party that insists upon the gov
eminent recognizing Filipino indepen-
denee." The rebel chief keeps well in
formed about the capers OF Bryan, Nc
Lean. Altgeld. Goebel and the rest Of
the democracy. but he is far astray as
to the influence Of these copperheads.
He thinks and says that they and the
party they represent will compel the
government to withdraw all the Amer
can soldiers from the PHILIPPINES, so as
10 allow Aguinaldo and the rest OF the
TO massacre the foreign resi-
ients OF all nationallties and start their
projected reign OF terror The United
States. however. is not going to do
NJ the sort. The democratic
3arty has very little influence in the
Of American affairs at
his time. and it will have even less
influence next year.

AGUINALDo ON DEMOCRATIC AID.

In terms 80 direct that lodging them

his hope Of success now rests with the
democratic party Of the United States.
He says explicitly in his latest procla-
nation that In America there il a
great party that insists upon the gov
eminent recognizing Filipino indepen-
dence," and that we should pray to
God that the great democratic party
may win the next presidential election

BARE HEADS IN NEW YORK.
Only Visitors Are to Be Seen Without
Hats on the Streets.

The hatless women came to the New
York theater first from the cities out

lowed until the cold weather sets in.

York will probably never succumb.
Another incident In dress noticeable
during the last week was the DISPOSE
tion IN the part OF men to get into
knickerbockers at the slightest provo
cation. Tie holiday feeling made them
want TO do something that was out OF

they were particularly numerous. and
there seemed TO BE- a common agreement
that the costume most appropriate for
the occasion was a pair Of knickerbock-
ers. There have been some strange
eccentricities Of dress seen on the
streets, and they were generally evil
dences OF the fact that the crowd had
been gathered from many distant
points. The preponderance OF the out
siders was shown on every hand. Not

without carrying the load OF passengers
who had TO be told not to smoke on the

A forcible illustration of the impor-
tance to the Pacific coast Of the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal is
found in the recent orders said to have
been placed with southern lumbermen
by the British and Mexican govern
ments. The order from Great Britain
has ALREADY been mentioned in the AS
torian, and is intended, it will be re-
membered, for shipment TO South At
rica. The Mexican order, however, is
Of more recent occurrence, and is for
the stupendous quantity of 5000, 900, 900
feet. A prominent trade journal says
such an order is wholly unprecedented,
and is unquestionably the largest lum-
Der deal ever made in the world. The
order goes to a large concern in Texas,
and will exhaust the present supply of
every mill in that state, if it can be
filed from that section alone at all.
With the proposed water way between
this coast and the Atlantic, Pacific
coast lumbermen would be in a posi-
tiOn to compete for these large orders
from foreign countries, and there is lit
tie doubt, with their superior sources
Of supply. they could do so success
fully.

NORTH AND SOUTH.

At a meeting Of the confederate vet
erans in Dallas, Tex. one OF the mem
hers commented with cordial approval
on the fact that many high places are
filled with men who were once confed-
crates. and he declared THAI such
conduct toward those who had not been
In accord with the prevailing power is
without parallel in the history OF the
world. This statement is true and
can easily BE- verified by turning 10
the records Of the past The war for
the union was all that the name i'm
plies. 1t was d CONSIST to preserve a
common country and a common broth
erhood. Time has cleared away the
mlsts from President Llncoln's charac-
ter. His mate kindness Is seen to have
been as large and deep as humanity.
Every confederate acknowledges the
delicacy and consideration OF Grant
when the time came to arrange terms
with brave adversary who could Of
fer battle no longer. Nowhere IN
Grants career was the egutist display
ed or anything done for theatrical dis
play. He fought for the Union, for the
broad des.inies Of the republic in all
its greatness. and not for the humilia-
ton Of any Of his fellow countFymen.
Whenever a different sentiment was
revealed IL FELL immeasurably below
the level Of Lincoln and Grant and OF
the American people in general
Under the present administration the
nation throughout It's whole length and
breadth Is always kept In view. The
South perceivss from what has occurred
during the two years and half Of
President hcKinley's term that he
knows no sectional lines and desires
equally the prosperity OF every state.
At the Chicago dinner last Monday the J
president said: Fraternity and union
are deeply imbedded in the hearts Of
the American people. For half CEN
tury before the civil war disunion was
the fear Of men OF all sections. That
word has gone out Of the American vo-
cabulary. It is spoken now only as
historical memory. North, South. East
and West were never 80 welded to-
gether, and while they may differ
about internal politics, they are all for
the Union and the maintenance Of the
Integrity Of the flag" It is pleasant to
find In the same days issue an express
sicr to the same effect from a confed-
crate veteran in Texas When deeds
and words Of concord come from all
sides an era Of union is here beyond a
doubt.
This has happened under a republi-
can administration. The republican
party has been called sectional But
history confirms its right 10 be regard

The first great principle in It's creed
was that the country should not be di-

idea there would be two or more dis
cordant republics where one, Joined to-
gether in amity and rallying under one
flag, surprises the world for It's progress
and prosperity. Few citizens could be
found at this day who regret that the
Union was preserved. There may be
some lingering Of the passions Of
terrible war, but they amount to mol
more than a trace. AS whole the

Mr.. Atkinson had previously had a
number Of persons who claimed to be

so startling that he was not satisfied
