Presidents Philippine Policy.

New York, Oct. aS.-A special to
the Herald from Was hington says:
Prompt declaration by congress in favor
of asserting and maintaining complete
sovereignty over the Philippines at
whatever cost, and in favor of the most
liberal kind OF self.government when
the insurrection ends, is what the presi-
dent wants. 1t is also what the Phil.
ippine commissioners want. There is
a great deal of work for the president to
do OH his message, and for the commits
sioners to do on their report, but this
one important conclusion is certain.

makes the following estimates for SUR
veys for the coming year:

Public lands In Idaho. ............".... l0O,O0O
Mineral monuments .. ...."................. !, COG
Nondescript surveys in Alaska -. 1O3,s7.
OF its entire grant. the Northern Pa
citc has now received 81, Ills, 26S
acres, and 1851, 1882 acres are still
due.
AS the deps rSment now considers that
it has no authority to expect payment
for safeguarding privileges on the forest
reserves, the commissioner recon-.
mends that congress authorize the Sec
rotary to make reasonable charge for
such grazing, the grazing to be con.
fined to open areas. 1t is recommended
that from to 10 cents per head for
cattle, and to cents per head for
sheep be charged in the Cascade re-
serve, and ut the rate of IS per thous-
and in Rainier reserve in Washington.
He argues that so long rs the millmen
and lumber dealers pay u fair price for
, timber supplies drawn from public
lands, there should be an equal charge
levied upon the grazing products of
such lands, and hopes that legislation
to this effect will be early enacted.
When the geological survey has ex'
tended its surveys over the reserves,
and the lands more valuable for agri-
cultural than for forest purposes have
been segregated, the commissioner
thinks better disposition can be made
for the exclusion OF sheep from the re-
serves, and ii it shall be held that no
sheep shall Craze on any reserve, the
agricultural or grazing lands should
first he eliminated entirely from the re-
serve.
Among other things the commits.
sioner recommends legislation permit
ting lands within forest reserves to be
rented or leased for any purpose not
incompatible with the purposes for
which the reservations are created.
He also desires legislation permitting
the entry of lands within the reserva.
lions more valuable for coal than for
forest uses. A larger force to push
more rapidly the work of examining
the remaining unreserved forest lands
is asked for, which could be secured
for 5000, 900, and $3.50, 600 is asked for
additional special agents.
Other recommendations are for the
compulsory attendance OF witnesses at
land hearings; to prevent the mining
and sale of coal during the lifetime Of
coal declaratory statement, or until
full payment is made for the land; for
changing and enlarging the Mount
Rainier National Park; that a general
law be enacted which shall repeal
numerous conflicting and undesirable
statutes respecting timber on unre.
served lands, and in their stead mako
due provision for the protection and use
OF timber OH such lands.
The report shows grand total of
929, 3OS, 06S acres of unappropriated
and reserved pubic lands in the United
States.

Clifton X. Breckenridge, United States
minister to Russia during the second
Cleveland administration, in an inter-
view states that in case any nation or
combination of nations should attempt
to embarrass England in the present
war in South Africa, it would be the
imperative duty OF the United States to
take the part of Great Britain and sus.
tain her with our whole moral and ma
terial strength. He said:
"Great Britain's action in South
Africa is in line with the duty and de.
velopment of the Anglo-Saxon race.
In her present struggle, she deserves
the unanimous support of the American
people. In case other European ma.
tions should, through international
jealousies, attempt to retard her in the
clear and simple duty she is perform
ing at this time, the conduct of the
United States should be determined by
considerations mightier than mere po-
litical expediency or political proceed.
