TITLE IS CLEAR.
Senator Allison Says We
Should Hold the Philippines.
Movements Of Our Troops in Luzon
Are Very Successful.
Or. Jurado, Spanish. Offered Filipino Am
bassadorship at Washington.

New York. Oct. Ex-senator w. b.
Allison of Iowa, discussing matters in
the Philippines in the forthcoming is
sue of the Independent, says:
1T does not seem to me that there
can be two sides to the question of
what is our present duty in the Phil
ippines. BY our treaty with Spain and
with the exchange of ratification treaty
these islands become ours. Our title
to them is clear and unqueStionable
under our constitution and under the
law and usages of nations. The insur
rection there against our authority be
gan after the treaty was signed at
Paris and continues to this time. Our
duty requires us to suppress this insur-
rection and to establish peace and or
der there.
This, | understand, the President is
endeavoring to do through the means
given him by Congress before the close
of the last session through the army
bill, which provided for 100000 men
temporarily, with the understanding of
all parties that this army would be
used so far as necessary to suppress
this instruction. This duty was i'm
perative upon the President. not by a
unanimity by all parties in Congress.
and a failure on his part to use this
power to restore order there would sub
ject him to the sevcrest censure OF
Congress and the American people.
with the restoration of peace and
order there, | take it for granted that
Congress will provide a government
for the people of the islands in the
spirit of liberty and justice and with
public to their highest possible ciViliZ-
alton. Heretofore when possessions
have been acquired by the United
States. Congress dealt with the people
residing in those territories in the
spirit of liberty and justice which pre-
walls in our constitution and our
laws. and | have no reason to believe
or even to suspect that future Congress
ses will not make such rules and reSu-
lations for these inhabitants as Will
provide for them the largest measure
of liberty possible for them as we'll as
the largest local participation in the
government consistent with the situa-
ton there under our sovereignty and
under our flag.
80 far as | can see, the only practi-
cal alternative to this is the abandon
ment of the islands, the withdrawal
of our troops and the withdrawal of our
navy as we'll The President has no
power to direct this, as he cannot
ALLEVIATE territory acquired; Congress
can do so by law and will soon be in
session. and those who think we should
surrender what we have gained there
and withdraw our army and navy, Will
have an opportunity of testing the
sense of Congress by Offering PROPOSE
lions to that end.

Whisky Bill Of Importance.

The contest of the plaintiff in the
Wiley divorce suit for temporary ali
mony occupied the superior court
about all day yesterday. DEPENDENTS
motion for continuance for ten days
to procure evidence from California
was over-ruled yesterday morning, and
the court proceeded to hear testimony
on the alimony question. Philander
L. Wiley, the defendent, was on the
stand during the forenoon. During
his testimony the plaintiffs attorneys
were very anxious to find out what he
did with certain moneys. Although
somewhat reluctant to answer he final
ly commenced to detail his expendi-
lures. He started out by saying he
spent $40 for this and SIS for that aud
finally blurted ont that he had paid
among other things a whisky bill of
$7OO. There was half-suppressed
whistle from those present at this as
tonishing piece of evidence, and sever
al heard to remark that they would like
to know the saloon that allowed its
customers to get into it to that amount,
as $50 was about all that most of them
had ever been allowed to ''put on the
slate " The question of temporary ali
mony is still undecided by the court,
and the now noted case has barely be-

occupied with an application of the
plaintiff for temporary alimony, and
the fight for and against the applica-
ton has been sharp. On Thursday
Judge Linn took the matter under ad-
visement, and yesterday he granted
the application of the plaintiff. His
ruling was to the effect that from the
pleadings IN the case there appeared to
have been marriage between the
parties and on this ground he granted
Mrs. Wiley $175 attorneys fees and
$3.50 with which to prosecute the suit.

gave notice of an appeal and the case

Supervisor Ham has just completed
one OF the most thorough and extended
examinations ever made of the Olym-
pic reserve and had an exceedingly
hard trip. He is one of the most en-
ergetlc and best informed supervisors
In the service, and is familiar with
every portion of his reserve. He was
out thirty-six days and traversed the
entire boundary of 300 miles, going in
at Matlock and around by the coast
and straits back to Quilcene. His err
rand was to find what parts of the re-
serve are most threatened by fires SO
as to locate the extra summer force of
rangers.
"For twenty days l did not see q
wagon road" he says, "and travelled
by horse over almost impossible trails.
Many trails had been unused for wears
and three times slept out with no
shelter, the country being uninhabited.
From Quinault lake, in the southwest
corner of the reserve, to Ozette, the
northwest, kept about twenty miles
from the Pacific, most of the wav
through forests of magnificent timber.
Settlers are rot numerous on the
west side of the Olympics. The Queets
river valley is capable of becoming one
OF the richest valleys in Western Wash
lngton and if it could be excluded from
the reserve would easily support $50
families. At present there are about
twenty-five in the settlement of Queets
and Evergreen. This valley is sixty
miles from Grays Harbor. It IS one to
three miles wide and twenty long.
The land is wonderfully fertile. There
are other small valleys only good for
agricultural purposes, but so far from
markets or civilization it would not be
practicable to exclude them.
Il saw a great many interesting
things on the trip. Between the Clear
water and Hob rivers there are large
numbers of elk, and the trails over
which / travelled often looked as
though herds of cattle had been driven
over them. The Hob river is the
largest stream flowing west from the
Olympics and was obliged to swim
my horse. 1t is mountain torrent
and the animal was carried nearly
quarter of a mile before he made the
opposite bank.
Zone of the wonders of the trail is
the log bridge over the Clearwater.
An immense tree, which fell many
years ago, spans the gorge at height
of eighty feet above the water. Set
tiers have built a railing on each side
OF the log, which is five ieet in diane
ter, and it is the only crossing for man
and beast. The span is over eighty
feet and the log sways like wire. 1t
was either cross it or go back to Aber-
deem, and l took the chance. The
settlers take it as a matter of course.
81 have concluded there is but re-
mote danger of fires in the region west
OF the Humptulips to the ocean and
north to Ozette, and the patrol will
not need to be close. The greatest
danger saw was in the crews of the
Port Angeles and Eastern railway.
Men are scattered along for forty miles
and when it gets little dryer there
may be danger of careless fires. Sur
veyors are now working on the west
side of Discovery bay, thirty miles
from Port Angeles.-Tacoma Ledger.
