THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

Senator Foraker in his speech in the SEN
ate on Wednesday, declared the Presidents
policy in regard to the Philippines, speaking
with authority Four courses, he said, are
open to the United States one is to turn
the islands back to Spain, which everybody
opposes; the second is to parcel them out
to the powers to be fought ever; the third
is to leave the islands to anarchy, while
the fourth is to hold them as the President
force, but to the end that the inhabitants
may secure an Independent and stable gov
eminent of their own. Speaking for the
President, Mr.. Foraker said that it is his
purpose to recognize the services of the So
called insurgents in the Philippines well
as in Cuba. Aguinaldo and those under
him will not be attacked by the United
States, and there will be no collision unless
he and his followers shall be Influenced by
bad advisers to take the initiative.
This is the first time that any one has
in any authoritative manner announced to
the country the policy of the President. This
statement should relieve the minds of those
who have been led to fear that our army
would be used to drive the Filipinos from
Iloilo 1t also confirms the report that Gen.
Greene, who is favorably known to the
leading insurgents viii present to them the
plans Of the President 1t is probable that
when the purpose of the President shall be
understood there will be no more danger Of
hloodshed in the Philippines than in Cuba.
The only thing which can interrupt the sue
cess of the negotiations is suspicion, caused
by the emphatic assumptions of those who
oppose the ratification of the treaty, that it
is the Presidents policy to seize the islands
and hold them as a part of the United
States. As now declared the Presidents
policy is to assist the Filipinos in estab-
fishing a good government with home rule
and to protect them in its enjoyment in the
years to come.
The Presidents position may be misrepre
scented, but when it is clearly understood.
candid people must see that it is not only
wise and humane, but the only one which
can be adopted.

Mr.. HARRIS NOTIFIED.
He Will Take His Fishing Rod with
Him to Vienna.

Last night dispatches from washington
indicated that the Senate had confirmed the
appointment of Addison C. Harris to be
minister penipotentiary to Austria-Hun-
gary reporter brought the first intima-
ton of the Senate's action to Mr.. Harris,
who did not seem much surprised at the
news. Mr.. Harris has decided to accept the
appointment. When asked how soon he
would leave, he replied: II do not know how
soon the administration may wish me TO
sail l presume it will be in thirty or sixty
days As l understand it, Charlemagne
Tower, my predecessor, who has been trans
ferred to Russia will leave for St. Peters
burg Immediately. AS you know, there is a
vacancy there, former Ambassador Hitch
cock having been appointed to a place in
the Presidents Cabinet. The consul general
at Vienna, Carl Bailey Hurst. is a most
capable young man. He is a son of Bishop
Hurst, of the Methodist Church. / do not
know that there are any urgent matters
needing the minister's attention.
Mr.. Harris said that his plans are nat
UTally not matured. He did not know until
a few days ago that he was to be appointed,
and hence has had TO time 10 prepare for
an extended absence abroad. So far as his
law practice is concerned, Mr.. Harris says,
the time is opportune, as he has but few
cases in hand that require his undivided
personal attention. Mrs. Harris Will accom-
pany the new minister TO his post. but
farther than that they have not determined,
and have not decided what disposition to-
make OF their handsome North Meridian
street home during their absence. Mr.. Har-
ris is a most enthusiastic angler, and mas
heard through his friend, Ferd Mayer, that
there is some fine fishing in famous trout
streams In Austria Mr. Mayer has prom
ised Mr. Harris an outfit that would fill any
anglers heart with delight
There is one thing | would like TO do, II
/ had time, said Mr.. Harris, and that IS to
go South and spend ten days with some OF
my old friends fishing. / have had some
delightful experiences in Florida. There
are several Of my friends who gather there

bonds Already independent refneries have
been built at low cost. equipped with the
latest machinery Such refineries carry no
closed plants at large expense in interest,
consequently with abundant capital the new
refineries can sell sugar at a less price than
can the trust with it's burdens. Already the
competition has caused both rivals to cut
prices, and the war continues. The chances
are against the trust, as they have been
against those which have already gone to
pieces before Independent competition. A
tin-plate trust has been announced. Its
formation is closely followed by the
nouncement of the construction of an indie
pendent mill Such will be the result of
every combination when outsiders having
capital find that competition at the prices
received will be profitable. Nevertheless,
the legislator who has the wisdom to de-
wise law which will prevent such combi-
nations can lay claim to craftsmanship of

A Lecture on .savonnroIa.-

DR.. William Fl. Crawford lectured last
night for the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation at Englishs Opera House His sub
ject was "Savonarola." He ecquently told
the dramatic story of the life Of the Italian
reformer Born in 1852 at Ferrara, Girolamo
Savonaroa was educated for the practice of
medicine. He cast away his profession to
enter a monastery There he discovered
that the corruption in Italy during the last
half of the fifteenth century included the
church. He rose up and denounced the rot
teness which existed at the head of the
church. He was the real ruler Of the state
of Florence for a time. Alexander VI, more
wicked than his predecessors of the same
era forbid Savonarola preaching, and finally
communicated him. In 149S SaVOnarola
was attacked in the priory of San Marco and
tortured and burned.
