A CRITICAL ANALYSIS.

Mr.. Hoar then entered upon n criti
cal analysis of Mr.. Platt's speech. After
summarizing the argument he said:
THE constitutional argument for
slavery was ten times as strong as the
argument of the Senator from Connec-
ticut. The slave master said he owned
men for their good. The Senator from
Connectucut proposes to own nations
for their good.
He sets forth his own constitutional
doctrine, which he desired To oppose to
that of Mr.. Plat. He declared that the
people Of this country had not deposit
authorized no agent of theirs to cxer-
else all sovereignty. unlimited and I'M
comfortable. He continued:
The power to conquer alien peoples
and hold them in subjugation is no.

OF the opinion that the Insurgents have
been so long imposed upon that they
are naturally suspicious and fear the
worst if they surrender their strong
holds into the hands of the United
States.
ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY.
The policy to he adopted now is n
gentle one. Persuasion will he used be-
fore powder. That will be the last re-
sort, and Secretary Alger is optimistic
in his views that 1t will never be nee
essary. The President. 1t is said. also
views the situation in Il similarly hope

nos will become less suspicious when
they understand more fully the inten-

When the Senator from Connecticut
undertakes 10 declare" said Mr.. Hoar,
that we may do such things, not for
the perfect union, the common Defense

United States. or the securing of liberty
10 ourselves and our children, but for
any fancied or real obligation to take
care of distant peoples beyond our
boundaries. not people of the United
States, then deny his proposition and
tel him he can find nothing either in
the text of the Constitution or the eX-
position of the fathers. or the judg-
ments of courts from that day TO this
to warrant or support his doctrine.
We have heard of limited monar-
chies, constitutional monarchies, des-

UNSUSTAINED PROPOSITIONS.
Mr.. Hoar maintained that the propo-
sitions advanced by Mr.. Plat were not
sustained by single one OF his au-
thorities. He held in the course of his
argument that powers of the
United states must be afirmativcly del
eSated or they do not exist" in other
WoruS' the implied powers referred 10
by Mr.. Platt-the power to govern ter
ritory acquired through war-did not
exist. The power which Mr.. Plat main
tanned this Government possed was one,
Mr.. Hoar said. that our fathers and
their descendants have ever loathed
and abhored, and they believed that
no sovereign on earth could rightfully
exercise it,"
MIR. Hoar was inclined to ridculc
those who favor expansion and the
ratification of the treaty of Paris, with
out amendment. Their arguments, he
said, were "Thrce cheers for the flag,

AS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, ID. c.. January "a
great deal of reticence is exhibited at
the War Department relative to the
state Of affairs 1t Iloilo. 1t is admitted
that General Otis has reported 10 the
Department the facts that were report
ed 10 him by General Miller. but all
that can he gathered as to the nature
of the communication is that goes to
confirm the press reports as to the atti-
tude of the insurgents. There are eX-
cellent reasons why the officials at the
War Department should. at this stage.
maintain secrecy as TO the instructions
governing the movements OF troops in
the Philippines.
TIE SITUATION CRITICAL.
The situation is admitted to be criti-
cal, but not hopeless by any means.
and 1t is extremely desirable that the
danger of a rupture shall not be in

which will result in the extension OF
his control over the island of Panay
without actual hostilitiess or, if it must
come TO warfare, then with the least
possible exposure OF the American
troops.
FIRST STEP PROBABLY TAKEN.
Probably the first step in this CAM
paign has been taken by this time in
the establishment Of a camp on the ISL

miles from 1loilo. and easily accessible

A good story, says the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal, is being whispered around
about one of the beautiful brides of !astl
week. She was married in a big church
on the avenue. with the usual accompaui-
ments of flowers and pretty bridesmaids.
Every one remarked how perfectly beau
tiful the bride looked as she walked up
the aisle on the arm of her father to meet
the bridegroom waiting at the altar.
After the wedding breakfast, and Just
as the bride was preparing to start for
the depot to catch the afternoon train for
her honeymoon, an old school friend of her
mothers came to her, kissed her on both
cheeks, and said:
My dear child, you were the most per-
fectly lovely bride that 1 have seen Jhis
winter AS you walked up the aisle to
meet the man who was so soon to be
your husband, every one could see from
the half-frightened yet trustful look upon
your face, and the firm yet tender smile
about your mouth, that you were thinking
of the serious Importance of the step that
you were taking. Your very look seemed
to say: 1 am leaving my girihood be-
hind me and going forth upon an unknowl
sea, but so great is my trust in him whom
have chosen that l step forward with
out fear and in perfect confidence Tell
me, my dear, just what the thoughts were
WDlCn brought tndt lovely expression upon
your face this morning"
VERY well. 1 will tell you" said the
bride Exactly what my thoughts were
as l walked up the aisle. My mother
| who, you know, is a much smaller woman
than l am for some sentimental reason,
insisted Upon my wearing at the altar me
| very silkeh hose i'm which she was married
| to my father twenty years ago. They were
so tight for me that at each step 1 kept
repeating to myself: This time they will
surely split This time they will surely
| split! And when / reached the altar with
out accident l was so much relieved that
| l probably did wear the look of bliss which
