STATESMAN Is NEEDED.
General Anderson's Opinion Regard
ing Government of Philippines.

=
Chicago, July 24-"The greatest
statesman in this country should be
made governor general of the Philip
pine islands and the military authori-
ties in the islands subordinated to him."
Brigadier General Thomas NJ. Ander-
son, commanding the department of the
lakes, today outlined In the foregoing
words what he believed to be the best
course to pursue in the far east
General Anderson expressed himself
as follows when asked his opinion of
the results likely to follow the institu-
ton of the new secretary of war. He
said:
The greatest exigency with which
we have to deal at present exists in the
Philippines, and to it we should bring
the best talent we have. The governor
general should be first of all a states
man. He should have the dictation of
the course to be pursued, and the mill
tary representatives should carry out
the orders Of the governor general i'm
plicitly, but preferably in his own way.
GAS it is, General Otis is both civil
and military governor in the islands.
Exercising both of these functions, he
is the most absolute and arbitrary ruler
on earth, the car of Russia not eX-
cepted. The military power should, in
my opinion, be merely a means of car
rying out the policy of the civil admin
istration- Understand, that 1 n not
mean this as a criticism of General
OTIS for he is vested in this dual power,
and must do the best he can. believe
that the task he is trying to perform is
too great for any one man, no matter
how capable he may be.
1.-The man at the head of the war de-
partment at Washington should be one
of good business executive ability and
sound common sense. The statesman
ship is required on the scene of ac-
ton. I have no intimation of any
change in the administration of the de-
partment under Mr.. Root. One thing is
certain, however, so long as General
Otis is allowed to remain in command
he should receive the support of the
administration at Washington. An in
correct policy carried out with deter
mination is usually productive of bet
ter results than is policy which, on
the whole, might be better, but the ex-
ecution of which is wavering.
Whether or not general Otis has
acted wisely in the matter of press
censorship, am too far away to tell.
Personally, 1 have a great deal of re-
spect for the correspondents with
whom 1 came in contact in the Philip
pines and believe them to be men of
truth and honor. There may be other
clements entering into the case, how
ever. which would justify General Otis
in that in which he is said to have

THE REAL SPORT.
Such It Is Indeed, to Seek the
Rorqual.

The seeker after big sea game should
attack the rorqual If he would see sport
indeed. For this agile monster has
such a reputation for almost supernat-
ural cunning that, even if he were as
valuable as he really is valueless COM
mercially, it is highly doubtful if he
would ever he molested. AS it is all

no whaleman is likely to risk the loss
of boats gear for the barren honor
of conquest. And not only so, but the
rorquals, whether ''fin-b back sui
phur- bottom or "blue-back," as well
as the ''hump-back" and grampus,
make it a point of honor to sink VIXEN
dead, unlike the ''cachalot" or bow
head" who float awash at first, but
ever more buoyantly as the progress of
decay within the immense abdominal
cavity generates an accommodating vol
ume of gas. ANY old whaleman would
evolve in the interests of sport no end
of lodges for dealings with the willy
rorqual, such as a collection of strong
ly attached bladders affixed to the line
to stay his downward course, short but
broad-barbed harpoonS, to get a better
hold upon the thin coating of blubber
etc. In this kind of whaling there is
quite sufficient danger to make the
sport exciting in the highest degree.
Not, however. from. the attack of the
animal hunted, but because his evolu-
tons in the effort to escape are so

though seldom exceeding a ton and a
half in weight, these small whales are
quite vigorous enough to make the
chase of them as lively an episode as
the most enthusiastic hunter could
wish. especially if two or even three
are harpooned one after the other on
a single line, as the whalers custom is.

RETURN OF VOLUNTEERS.

Every Nerve to Be Strained to Get Them
Away From the Philippines
WASHINGTON, July Under direct
orders from the president, every nerve
is to be strained to get the volunteer
regiments away from the Philippines
without a days delay. Even the i'm
portant work of sending reinforce
ments is to be considered secondary to
the necessity of returning the volun-
teers- The president feels that they
have been kept too long already and
is anxious to see the last man home
ward bound.
To facilitate the work, the admins
tration has ordered transports to
clear from San Francisco as soon as
they can be made ready for sea,
whether there are recruits ready or
not. They will take reinforcements
when there are any ready to sail, but
after arrival will hasten back for vol
unteers, without regard to the new
recruits for Otis. The President has
also authorized the purchase of two
new transports, which will be put
into the regular service as soon as
they can be equipped After the vol
unteers are returned the transports
will carry back full loads of regulars
and when they are landed will return
for new volunteers
