prevail of the American people. He did
not believe the people of the Pacific
coast would favor the proposed ex-
change.
That is very interesting PROPOSE
tion, said Representative Butler of
Pennsylvania, but would not De IN
favor of it until I knew what would be
done with the Philippines. If we keep
the Philippines it will be because it is
to the advantage of us to do so. The
retention of the archipelago will mean
that we will have a stepping stone to
the great Asiatic continent, whose trade
amounts to $1,000. 100000 year, $40,-
100000 of which we ourselves controlled
last year.
The British West Indies offers no
such advantage. I am opposed to sur
rendering any territory that is for the
good of America and for the good of the
people living there

his reason for not allowing witness to
go on a vacation that he did not want
to do witness work while he was away
There was no objection made on ac-
count of witness financial position. The
following year, when witness took a va
cation of two weeks, he went to Brigh-
ton. Witness said at the time Stout
spoke of putting his son in as book
keeper in the bank, witness wanted Mr..
Groesbeck promoted to that place. He
WAS the oldest employee, and capable
man.
Stout did not tell witness. as a rea-
son why he should not go to California
for a vacation, that his account was
overdrawn at-the bank, and the over
draft was constantly increasing, and
that if he went for a trip it would make
matters worse. Nothing like that was
said. In April, 1888, there was $4,000
owing to the witness for salary, and he
asked the amount to be credited I'D.
The bank also owed him for keeping the
state treasurers books, for which he
was to receive $50 month. Witness
never drew out more than was owing
him when everything was credited up.
1t appeared at that time that witness
owed the bank $500, but his Salary
had not been credited I'D at that time.
Stout, in regard to the incident of
Jones refusing to help young Stout in
the bank, told witness that he was un-
grateful. Stout thought that witness
should look after his boys and educate
them
Court adjourned until this morning,
when the INSTRUMENTATION of Jones
will be resumed

Ii HUNG CHANGES RESTORATION.
Famous Chinese Statesman May Be
Recalled TO Power.

Washington. April 5.-The friendship
which the empress dowager of China en-
tertains for Ii Hung Chang may result
in his being recalled to power at an early
day. There have been reports that this
move was actually under way, but moth
ing official has been received here to bear
this out The main obstacle to his re-
call, it is said is the difference between
Russia and Great Britain as to the pre-
pOnderance of power in China In the
sharp diplomatic struggle going on be-
tween those two powers, Russia has re-
lied upon the good offices of Ii Hung
Chang, while Great Britain has had cause
to resent some of the activities of Earl Ii
in behalf of Russia. This feeling in Brit
ish official circles was the main cause for
the retirement of Ii. Since then. how
ever the British sentiment against him
has become less acute and it is under
stood that if the dowager empress sees
fit TO restore him to power there is not
likely to be the same opposition as Great
Britain would have interposed some time
ago.
In Ii Hung Chang, it is said. China
would have the services OF the first
statesman of the Orient for the crisis
through which she is passing and that
her helplessness in diplomacy during the
last two years would be thus overcome.

THE BEST SOLUTION.

Representative Livingston, of Geor-
gia, is heartily in favor of getting rid
of the Philippines at any price and re-
CARDS the proposition to make an ex-
change with Great Britain as the best
solution of a difficult problem yet Of
fered.
ST do not doubt" he said, that if
the matter is properly handled, Great
Britain will entertain the proposition.
She is ambitious to extend her COM
mercial interests in the east and would
doubtless consider that the possession
of the Philippines would give her much
greater strength than she now has in
that part of the world.
Cali that the United States needs in
the Philippines is a coaling station and
a place for repairing ships attached to
the Asiatic squadron. 1t seems to me
that an exchange might be effected
whereby the United States would con-
sent to make the trade, with the under
standing that we were to retain a ma
val base in the Philippines in consid-

PACIFIC COAST OPPOSITION.
Former Representative Hildburne of
California, did not regard the PROPOSE

the first place, whether the United

did not believe that the proposition

Exchange Of Philippines For British
West Indies.
PROPOSITION DISCUSSED
MANY PROMINENT MEN FAVOR
THE SCHEME.
But Doubt Is Expressed Whether
England Would Be Willing to
Trade-Germany Would Enter a
Strong Protest-Best Solution of
the Philippine Problem.

New York, April 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Much
interest is felt here in the proposition
originating with the inhabitants of st.
Kits in the Leeward islands, to ex-
change the Philippines for the British
West Indies.
There are strong arguments in favor
of such an exchange, if Great Britain
can be induced to part with her West
Indian possessions, and there is little
doubt that if the people of the United
States had an opportunity to choose
between the Philippines and the Eng
fish possessions in the Caribbean sea,
they would prefer the latter. This is
practically true of the residents in the
eastern states.
The possession of the British West
Indies would be of great Importance to
the United States from military point
of view, as it would make the Carib-
bean sea practically an American lake
and would enable this country to doni-
nate completely all approaches to any
future isthmian canal from the Atlantic
side. 1t would also bring the United
States into closer relations with Cen
trail and South America and would
tend to develop commerce with all the
nations south of Mexico.
Representative meyer OF LOUISIANA,
who as a member of the house. COM
mittee on naval affairs has given close
attention to the new possessions of th4
United States, said: GAS long as we.
are in the business of buying and SELL
ing and trading in sovereignty, 1 should
prefer, other things being equal, to hold
possessions near the United States
rather than at a distance.
1T would also seem to me to be bet
ter to undertake the government of is
lands, the inhabitants of which under
stand and are in sympathy with our
system of government and who want TO
come to us, rather than islands, the in
habitants of which do not comprehend
the American system and who are not
willing to come under our government.
Whether Great Britain would consent
to such an exchange as is proposed,
however, is, think, a question of grave
doubt"
