remarkable work of civilization and prog
ress has been accomplished. We should take
a leaf out of their book which shows US
that semi-barbarous people frequently can
be led where they could not be driven.
Il have been already harshly criticised
for taking this stand in regard to the Sulu

States, but it is my honest belief that what

any attempt to interfere by force in the
Sulu islands at this time will bring on
bloody and wholly unnecessary war"
The Philippine commission will be formal
ly received by the President at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. At the session of the
commission to-day it developed that the re-
port probably will take longer in prepara-
ton than was at first supposed, and may
possibly not be completed until very near
the meeting OF Congress. In this event the
President may want certain information
now in the hands of the commission for use
in the preparation Of his message and the
conference tomorrow will give opportunity
for an exchange of views. To-days session
consisted only in further blocking out the
commissioners report, and actual work can
hardly be said to have commenced. 1t is
understood the report, when completed, will
be not only a presentation of facts as o3-
served by the commission, but will include
certain recommendations for the future
government of the islands. The commits
sioners are quite thoroughly in accord on
the subject OF the needs of the archi-
pelago, and it is not likely there will be a
minority repOrt.

MADRID, Oct. GA sensation was
caused in the Senate to-day by the declara-

ignorance of the Spanish-American peace
treaty commissioners, three islands of the
Philippine group--the two Patanes and Cat
allan iS.and--both north Of Luzon. were not
included in the scope Of the treaty. These
islands, he asserted. ought TO be made the
basis of negotiations for the liberation of
the Spanish prisoners.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-The islands in
the Philippine group referred to In the
Madrid dispatch as not having been Included
in the treaty ceding the archipelago to the
United States are not regarded by the men,

Importance, and no regret, they say, need
be felt If the statement should prove COR

meant is the Calayan Islands, belonging to

Capt. Charles French was mustered in as

Wisconsin's Governor Sees Danger In
Retaining the Philippines.

MILWAUKEE,, wis, Oct. Ex-Governor
Scofield has written a letter on the Philip
pine question in which he says IL would be
dangerous to the Republic TO keep the
Philippines. The Governor writes: while
the question OF the disposition to be made
of the Philippines is political in the highest
sense 1t has not become a party issue and
/ believe is question which Is TO be set
tied in the near future. ! take 1t that the
issue is not really one Of expansion or anti
expansion, so called. and II is only obscured
by the talk of Imperialism or anti-imperial-
ism. The real issue presented is this:
Shall the government, after II has sup
pressed the insurrection, plan to retain per-
manent possession of the Philippines and
make that archipelago portion of our
territory and its S0c0.O00 or more people a
part of our population? Is 1t expedient for
this country to permanently add to its ter
ritory and its population those far-off
islands and their group Of motley inhabi-
tants?
Possibly I may be taking a rather mel
ancholy view of the situation, but it seems
to me that the continued existence Of our
present form Of government Is threatened
by this Philippine problem. We are a great
nation but we have our limitations. The
people cannot, I believe, undertake with
safety the assimilation of 100000 or more
OF foreigners alien to US In every charac-
teristic. And It is folly to talk of MAIN
tanning permanently our supremacy over
those people without working toward as
similation. 1t is worse than folly, 1t is
criminal. Supremacy over those islands
must mean either a control having in view
the ultimate uplifting of the people to our
level, or a control for the purpose of en-
riching ourselves materially at their ex-
