PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.

ended in defeat and no responsibility
resulting from war is tainted with
dishonor. In peace we have been sig
nally blessed, and our progress has
gone on unch ecked and eyer-inereasine
in the intervening years.
"Our national credit, often tried, has
been ever upheld 1t has no superior
and no stain The United States has
never repudiated national obligation
either to its creditors or to humanity.
1t will not now begin to do either. 1t
never struck a blow except for civiliza
tiou and never struck its celors.
1--WE have grown from thirteen states
to forty-tiye. We have annexed every
variety of territory. from the coral
reefs and cocoa nut groves of Key West
to the icy regions Of northern AlasSu
territory skirting the Atlantic, the
Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific and the
Arctic, and the islands of the Pacific
and Caribbean sea, and we have eX
tended still further our jurisdiction te
the far-away islands of the Pacific.
Our territory is more than foui
times as large as it was when the
treaty of peace was signed in 1888.
Our industrial growth has beer
even more phenomenal than that OF
population OF territory Our wealth
estimated IN 1890 at 100000, 600, has
advanced to S5G.oOO, 600, 600.
Has the republic lost any Of its
virility? Has the self-governing prin
ciple been weakened? Is there any
present menace to our stability ano
duration?
Fraternity and union are deeply
imbedded in the hearts of the Ameri.
can people. For half century before
the civil war disunion was the fear OF
men of ali sections That word has
gone out OF the American vocabulary
It is spoken now only as a historical
memory North, South, East and
West were never so welded together
and while tLey may differ about inter.
nal politics, they are all for the Union
and the maintenance Of the flag"

DEWEY ON PHILIPPINES.
Believes United states should Keep the ts-
lands Increasing Fleet.

Washington, Oct 7.---Concerning the
government of the Philippines Ad-
miral Dewey believes in American con-
troll through the medium of commits
sion allowing great latitude for the
local government of the sixty or moro
tribes, considering their different hab-
its and conditions
lie has given his unqualified APP
proval of the policy that there shall
be no faltering in maintaining the vic
torie won in Manila bay. He is of the
opinion that by increasing the force of
warships it will be practical to main
tain stricter blockade and prevent
supplies from reaching the insurgents
as well as to impress them that recog-
milton of the sovereignty of the United
States will be compelled.
The admiral expresses strong con-
viction that the United States should
retain permanent control of the Phil
ippines and spoke of their great value
from commercial standpoint, EN-
phasizing what MANY officers have said
about the immense resources of the
islands.

England Ready for War.

London, Oct. 10-Whatever may be
the result of Great Britain's contro-
versy with the South African republic,
every department of the government is
as busy as though actual hostilities
had begun. The electric flash that an
nounced the mobilization of the army
reserves and the summoning of parlia-
ment, set every wheel of the govern
ment machinery in motion. Orders are
being dispatched from the war Office to
every section of the kingdom, and the
10, 900 bulletins which appeared posted
throughout the country are said to be
identical with the proclamation pre-
pared for use had the Fashoda incident
required such a step.
The important news from South Af-
rica comes from Mafeking, where twice
on Saturday the British camp was ar
reused. the men stood to their arms,
guns were limbered and patrols were
dispatched in the direction of the bor-

eally to the border, eight miles from
Mafeking, in force, estimated at least
5000, comprising five commanders.
