Mr.. Bryan and the Filipinos

MIR. w. J. Bryan to set forth his posi-
ton on the Philippines subject has wiz

the B .con resolution which promised
the Fllipinos independence as soon ss
q stable government could be establish
ed. | believe further that our ma.
ton should protect the Filipino re-
public from outside interference while
l. works out its own destiny.
In other words, / believe we
should treat the Filipinos as we have
treated the people of Mexico and Cen
trial and South America. Monsrchles
are founded upon force, but republics
are founded upon consent.
"The declaration of independence as
serts that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed. II the declaration is sound, we
cannot rightfully acquire title by con-
quest or by purchase from an alien mon
archy, whose title we disputed when
we furnished arms to the Filipinos.
IF the administration had given to
the FIlipinos the assurances of indepen-
dence which was given 10 the CuDans
there would have bsen no bloodshed.
If that assurance is given now HOSTILE
ties will cease.
mo one proposes to withdraw the
soldiers until stable government is es'
tablished but it will be easy to estao-
lish stable government when 1t Is
known that our occupatiol OF the Philip
pine Islands is only temporary.

HOW Alexandriane can be prOfted

How Alexandrians can be prohtea
in any nationally conceivable way oy
spending money in Washington, where
Alexandria is ridiculed and spoken OF
as Ia dead city," to boom the bus
ness of their city, even including
that of its Pioneer Mills and
Vulcanizing works, to the people OF
Washington, who are as we'll aware OF
Alexandria's superior trade facilities as
thew are of the disadvantages OF their
own city, in respect of both manufac-
turing and commerce, may be plain to
some people, but that it is not so to others
is certainly equally as patent. Money
so spent, it is feared, is so much thrown
awav. This is bad season for booms.
Alexandria's experience with torelgn
help should have taught it that lis
chief reliance for growth and prosperity
is upon its own citizens. If thoss of her
people who have money locked up In
bonds and stocks would invest it in &C.
tive industries, her advantages would
not need advertising, certainly not ID

MCKINLEY AND BRYAN.

A dispatch from Washington says
President McKinley's denomination by
reclamation being foregone conclu-
sion, the thing that is most discussed
by the politicians respecting next years
presidential conventions is whether Mr.
Bryan's denomination can be defeated
and what the platforms will be. The
republican politicians generally al once
desire and expect that Bryan will be
renominated and the Chicago platform
Of 1896 resfiirmed, with additional de-
clarations against trusts, the admins
tration of the War Department and the
possible dangers Of imperialism" and
militarism."
The majority of the democratic lead
ers, the vast majority of those in the
south aud west, and the rank and file
of those who voted for Bryan in 1896
everywhere desire and expect the same
thing. Such men assure you with the
fanatical sincerity of Mr.. Bryan him
self that Mr.. Bryan's denomination is
just as certain as Mr.. McKinley's, and
that next time his campaign will be car
ried on just as he wishes it and will not
be hampered as it wasin 1896 by the in.
reference of traitors within the party.
The silver question they hold to be a
question that can never be settled until
it is settled their way, and they con-
tend that Mr.. Bryan is the only man
that Can be even considered for nomi-
nation on the platform which he has
practically made his personal property.
The very fact that Mr.. Bryan has such
a hold on at least two-thirds of his
party is significant. The National
Democratic Committee, when it meets
in Chicago the middle of the week,
will do just what Mr.. Bryan wants, not
only because large majority of its
members were put on as Bryan men, but
because they believe now that the vast
majority of their constituents are
Bryan men.
The National Committee will, there
fore, plan to organize a Bryan conven
ton next year, and at present it looks
as if they would have little difficulty in
managing the convention as they
please without any necessity for follow
ing the ill-starred precedent OF the
Charleston convention, and amending
the rules so as to provide for nomina.
ton by bare majority instead of the
traditional tWc-thirds.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Philippine Situation.

Hong Kong, July 17-Eleven staff co.'s
respondents Of leading American news
papers in Manila, including the repre-
sentatives of the two big press assocla-
tions. unite in the following statement
1--WE believe that owing to official dis
matches from Manila made public at
Washington, the people OF the United
States have not received correct i'm
or. ssion of the situation in the Philip
pines. and that these dispatches pre-
sented an ultra-oDtimistic view not
shared by the general officers in the
field. We believe these dispatches incor-
rectly represented existing conditions
among the Filipinos respecting Internal
dissension and decentralization resulting
from the American campaign and the
brigand character of their army. We
bslieve the dispatches err in the de-
claration that the situation is we'll In
hand, and the assumption that the To-
surrection can be speedily ended with
out greatly increased force.
"We think the tenacity and purpose
of the Filipinos has been underestimate
cd and that the statements are unfound
ed that the volunteers are willing to
give further service. The censorship
has compelled us to participate in this
misrepresentation by excising or alter
ing uncontroverted statements and facts
on the plea, as General Otis stated,
that they would alarm the people at
home, or have the people in the
United States by the ears
SPECIFICATIONS of this are the pro-
hibition to send hospital repor.s and
the number of heat pro3trations in the
field; the suppression OF full reports ol
field operations in the event OF their
failure; systematic minimazston OF ma
val operations and the prohibition to
send complete reports OF the situation

stayed settled just three weeks. The
lines are all tied up tight this morning
by resumption of the strike by tine
Union men. The trouble arose mostly
from the presence ofthe non-unionists
hired during tho late strike, an attempt
bsing made by the company to mix the
crews.
Violence has already begun though
there has been no real rioting or dam
age. Union men boarded two cars
early this morning and ordered non
union men TO quit work. In another
case revolver was held at conduc
tors head as he was walking to the

STORM IN. WAsHINGTON.-The rain
and wind storm which visited the city
aud suburbs of Washington Saturday
evening WAS one of the severest of the
summer. Water fell in torrents, caus-
ing sewers in south Washington to back
water up into the streets, washing out
suburban roadways, and in numerous
other ways producing much damage.
The street railways, particularly those
reaching out into the country, suffered
the greatest damage by reason of the
storm. The power house ofthe Bright.
wood Railway Company, on Brightwood
avenue, was struck by lightning and
disabled. A largei smokestack was
blown down and the dynamos injured
AL traffic on the road ceased and per-
sons from the city, who had travelled
out the road during the day found the
greatest difficulty in returning to the
city. Almost q thousand persons were
stormbound at Glen Echo, Cabin John
Bridge, Tennallytown. and various
places along the lines OF the Great Falls,
Glen Echo, and Trnnallytown rail
roads. Many cars were also disabled
by the burning out OF their motors.

The Brooklyn Car Strike.

New York, July 1.-THE second day
of the great street car strike in Brook.
Ign finds the situation unchanged. The
Rapid Transit Company has, thus far,
been able to run few cars on all of its
lines, thus averting complete tie up.
On some of the main lines about q
third of the usual number of cars are
being run. From midnight until day
light not wheel was turned, the com
pany officials deeming it the safest pol
icy TO keep the cars in the barns. There
were few demonstrations by strikers
and their sympathiZers early this morn
ing but none was of serious character.
Both sides claim to have made gains
this morning and are firm in their re.
spectve positions. The men are will
ing to submit their demands to arbitra-
tion but the compaDy's officials say
there is nothing to abitrate.
1t looked as if the trolley strike had peter
ed out almost before it had assumed any very
great proportions 1t appears that the failure
of the strike is due to tho incapacity of the
so-called leaders" who are directing it. 1t is
undoubtedly truo that the majority Of the
eompanys employees are averse to strike.
Chief of Police Devery, of Brooklyn, says
that the strike is virtually over and that the
men had better return to work.
