Appeal for Peace.

The second battle of Manila was fought

The American loss was nine killed and 40

wounded was 600.
Spain sent an evasive answer to the
United States Aug. 5, and it was received
Aug. 8. President Mckinley responded
with an imperative reiteration of the orig

Aug. IL, gave permission to Ambassador
Cambon to accept them.
The terms of the protocol demanded the
evacuation of Cuba, the cession of Porto
Rico and the appointment of commission

position of the Philippines. Before news

THE JAPANESE INSTANCE.

1t is a favorite rallying cry of the i'm
perial crowd that trade follows the
flag" 1t is a cry borrowed by our
Anglo-maniacs from the British, don't
you know, the flag being always sup
posed to follow in the wake of the
smoke of armed conquest.
1t is a new cry for Americans and
let us see if it is always true. Take
the foreign trade of Japan, for in
stance. The import trade of that coun-
try has increased in value from H.
324,776 yen in 1892 to 277, 270, 1913 yen in
1S9S-nearly four-fold. To what ex-
tent Great Britain and the United
States have relatively shared in this
growing trade is shown by the follow
ing table supplied by the British for
eign office report, the values being ex-
pressed in ven:
Imports from 1890. 1897. 1898.
Great Britain. 26,6l9,lo2 65,406, 266 81 ao1, 56a
If the United States trade with ia
pan shall continue this ratio of in
crease our exports to Japan will soon
exceed those of any of our competi-
tors.
Yet the United States have never
planted their flag in Japan! The
moral of this tale is that conquest, or
expansion" is not the only or the best
way to capture foreign trade.

No NEWS NOT GOOD NEWS IN THIS
CASE.

News from the Philippines is ex-
tremely Scant these days and the other
day Ayers right bower, Corbin, in
formed us that mo word has been re-
ceived from General Otis for the last
two days, whence it is inferred that
there has been no fighting and no
change in the Philippine situation
worthy of report"
The no-news-is-good-news theory is
reversed in this instance. If there was
any semblance of a peg to hang good
news on the news censors of Manila
would long ere this have filled the ach-
ing void on the bulletin boards at
Washington with rose colored YER
sions.
The fact is we are not likely to hear
any news from Manila for an indefinite
time, unless some extra-venturesome
newspaper correspondent shall man
age to escape the censor's eagle eye
the word having peer issued that the
correspondent who seeks to evade the
censor will cease to be useful to his
employers" a la Russian style. At
Washington a rigid order has closed
the mouth of everybody connected with
the War Department, and Washington

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, July IL
The No. 2 English of J. F. Biggs & Co.,
in the Wilson Run, Ohio, field, has been
completed and is a rank buster. The
well was a total surprise TO the COM
pany, as it was within 500 feet of the
big gusher completed by them recently,
and which is still doing more than 700
barrels OF oil daily. The dry venture
did not even have a showing of gas,
and from these indications it is evident
the field lies north rather than to the
east of the big gusher. Out of four
teen wells completed in that territory
but II buster has been encountered,
and the company intend pushing devel-
opments until the field is thoroughly
tested.
In Rltchie county, on the West Vlr-
ginia tract, the Crumley farm oil well,
which was completed several days ago,
is doing fifteen barrels an hour. June
80 a shot was put insthe hole, which
failed to respond, and when the tools
were sent down it went off, making a
bad mixup below. After everything was
cleaned out the well started off at the
above rate and has been keeping it up
ever since. The venture is on territory
which Major Steele developed over 25
years ago and got considerable oil, but
abandoned the stuff" and the new
owners are drilling right in the midst
of the old holes and getting good wells.

apply direct to the Adjutant General,
himself, for news from the Philippines
which that official may deem worthy
of report"
Hence it will be readily seen that
hens teeth will be plentiful compared
to news from the Philippines in the
future. Indeed, it is limited that the
censor may be able so to control the
situation and so minimize the amount
of news given out as worthy of re-
port" that public interest will flag in
the Philippines situation. All of which
would be a considerable aid to the sec
ond term campaign, which is quite de-
cidedly embarrassed by the costly and
bloody fasco of the un-American war
of conquest in these islands-a wal
that Congress never declared.
1t remains to be seen, however, II
curtailing the freedom of the press for
the first time in the history of the
country will be an act beneficial to the
second term canvass. Military press
censorship for the suppression OF the
truth is something new in the United
States and it will be interesting to
see how it is accepted by the sover-
eign American people, whose "sover-
eighty" by the way, cuts a sorry figure
during the reign of Would-be Emperor
Mckinley.

The efforts of our government for ar
bitration at The Hague conference are
somewhat nullified in European eyes
by the refusal of Washington to arbi-
trate the Austro-Hungarian claims for
damages growing out of the Hazleton,
Pa, riots. 1t being a matter in inter-
national dispute the Europeans cannot
understand why it is not a subject for
arbitration, which the United States
representatives have so earnestly push
ed in the peace conference. And Wash
ington doesn't seem to know just how
to meet the argument. No matter how
one-sided the case, why doesn't arbi-
tration apply?

Despite the administrations conspir-
acy against Roosevelt during the Span
ish war to get revenge on the gallant
Rough Rider for having told the truth
about the Wal Department embalmed
beef, Mr.. Mckinley has had to call on
Teddy" for help and advice as to how
to get out of the Philippines hole. But
although the New York governor re-
sponded promptly it is not plain that
he rendered Mr.. Mckinley any kind of
aid. The mistake of the President was
in not asking the advice and consent of
Congress before he entered on his dis
astrous war of conquest. But Congress
would have wanted to know more than
the Wall street masters of the admin
i~straf1on desired to tell regarding the
enterprise.

The administration is said to have
a scheme to enlist the Cubans in the
war against the F%ilipinos. If the adj
ministration does it will doubtless add
one more grand mistake to the many
it has made since the Spanish war.
The showing the Cubans made against
the Spaniards does not encourage the
belief that they can whip A~guinaldo's
warriors, who are better fighters than
even the Spaniards. If we whip the
persistent Filipinos, who are fighting
for their independence. we must do it
ourselves, and to that end the President
should cease dilly-dallying with the
situation and send an army such as
has been demonstrated time and again
will be necessary to do the job.
