on a question OF transcendent i'm
portance. But this must be said
Of Mr.. McKinley's history OF his
war in the Philippines. He afhrm'
that he had every reason to be-
lieve and still believes" that the
"transier OF sovereignty IRON
Spain to the United States "was in
accordance with the wishes ano
aspirations Of the great mass oi
the Filipino people" Mr.. Mekin
lev owes il to the country and to
himself to make public his grounds
for this belief No representative
body OF Filipinos anywhere, so Ia
as the record shows, ever gave
expression to such "desires and
aspirations. In an address de
livered by the Filipinos at Singa-
pore to Consul Platt on June 8,
1903, they spoke of the programme
arranged between our consul and
Aguinaldo as designed to secure
to US our independence under the
protection Of the United States"
Consul Pratt did not resent but
accepted this statement. Even
before Dewey sailed from Hong
kong the Filipinos there had
issued an address to their coun-
trymen, saying divine ProVi'
dence is about to place independ-
ence within our reach" This was
the "wish and the aspiration"
every where expressed at Manila
and throughout the popplous ISL
aud oi Luzon: Freedom and in
dependence!"
Mr.. Mckinley says that from
the earliest moment no opPortun
ity was lost Of assuring the people
Of the islands OF our ardent desire
tor their welfare" Yes-out
"welfare" under our military rule,
supplanting that OF Spain. In the
Presidents first proclamation to
the FIlipinos, issued on Dec az,
1898. before the treaty was rati-
fed, the policy Of military rule and
benevolent assimilation" was de.
claTed, and the inhabitants were
called upon to submit uncondi-
tionallY to our Sovereignty" No
other terms were ever offered or
suggested. The demand invited
resistance in a people that felt
themselves able to continue their
century old struggle for freedom.
But this unjusn6able and un
necessary war being now appar-
emily nearly over, for the time be.
ing, the President says "the fu'ure
government of the Philippines rests
with the Congress OF the United
States" They cannot be aban'
doned," he declares, and though
protesting that he has "no plan tc
offer" he proceeds to argue agains
protectorate as inadequate, anc
to suggest building up Of gov
ernment from the bottom" BY

A PRELIMINARY REPORT.
Philippine Commissioners Will submit
One to the President.

Philippine Commissioners Will Submit
One to the President.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The members of
the Philippines commission will make
a preliminary report to the president
before the end of this week and it is
understood the report will be immedi-
ately given to the public. This report
will be prepared at the request of the
president as the result Of a conference
between the president and the commits
sion at the white house to-day. The
president personally summoned the
commissioners and an hour was spent
in consultation, during which he eX-
planned the points he desired covered in
the preliminary report 1t may be
weeks, possibly months. before the COM
plete report is ready. Secretaries Hay
and Root were present at the confer
ence.
The commissioners made full YER
bal report to the president, forecastinS
in brief the formal report that is to be
prepared. Each of the members talked
in turn, not only upon the general fea-
lures of the forthcoming report, but
each treating in detail a certain line of
subjects upon which he was more fully
informed than his colleagues for it APP
pears that the commission while in the
/ Philippines divided itself into sub-com-
mittees - one. The significant feature
! of to-day'S conference was the revela-
ton that the commission is entirely
unanimous in its view respecting the
! proper line of treatment of the islands.

DEATH AND DEVASTATION
Great Storm in Japan Carries
Dissolution in Its Wake.
ENTIRE TRAIN WRECKED
Blown From a Bridge Into the River Be.
low-Accounts o: Vast Losses to Life
and Property-Russia Looking
for Good Thing.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-Advices from
Yokohama under date of Oct. IA were
received to-day per steamer China.
Some dissa tisfaction is expressed by
the foreign residents of Japan over
some Of the decisions rendered by the
Japanese courts under the new treaty
revision act. Several unjust arrests
have been made and great discomfort
prevails.
The great storm, the center of which
swept over Toxic and Yokohama on the
It'll instant, has proved to have had a
wide belt of destruction Beside the
terrible railroad disaster on the north
ern line, where a whole passenger train
was blown from a bridge into the swol-
len river beneath, with loss of 20 kill
ed and 40 wounded out of a total of so
passengers, the damage to the south
line between Yokohama and Kobe has
been very extensive. The great tidal
wave which accompanied the storm in
| the south has piled up mountains OF
sand and shingles across the mouth OF
| the Usui river the dam forming vast
lake. flooding the back country. Thou
| sands of labOrerS are at Work seeking
to cut an outlet through the embank-
ment, but thus far without success.
| In spite of the peculiar difficulties
with which railroads in Japan have to
contend in the way of earthquakes and
| floods, the work of building new ones
is progressing with great rapidity. The
increase in mileage during the last year
has been 470 miles. making a tota
| length now finished of 3,420 miles, while
those under construction or charter VIII
| make grand aggregate OF 6,slO miles.
The impending war in the TransVaa
is arousing the deepest interest on tht
part of the Japanese, the conviction be
ing very strong among them that Rus
STA will seize the opportunity to carr,
things in northern Asia with an ever
higher hand than usual.
In the meantime there is much gle
over the way in which the islander
have checkmated the Russian design
on Masampho. a port with a magnifl
cent harbor, which the Russian admira
recently visited, finding it just tn
place for the establishment of dock
yard and coaling station. An applica
ton made to the Korean government
was readily granted, but meanwhile
Japanese private parties had bought III
practically the whole site from the Ko
rean owners and cannot now be dispos
sessed. 1t appears. however. that tn
Russians, as counter move, are to de
| mand as compensation an island mid
way between Masampho ana Tsushima
the latter island commanding the chan
mel, being now a strategic point OF tn
highest Importance to the Japanese.

following news from Honolulu, under

most important refers to the claims of
British and other residents for dam
ages for Imprisonment during the re-
bellion of 1895. Enclosed with the

the matter. The merit of the claims
is acknowledged. No individual cases
are particularly specified. 1t is rec
commended that the local government

rectly from the secretary of state to
Special Agent Sewall 1t is understood
that the United States government

of the field labor required here.
The third letter was in relation to
the title of the minister of foreign al
