THE FUTURE OF
THE PHILIPPINES
RESTS WITH THE WILL OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, SAYS POST
MASTER GENERAL SMITH.

Chicago, April 27.-Charles Emory
Smith, postmaster general, editor and
diplomat, was at the Auditorium annex
last night. Today he is the orator at the
Grant birthday memorial exercises at
Galena. Chatting in his apartments last
night of national affairs, Mr. Smith said :
This nation does not need an alliance
political commercial or military, with
any nation that exists. ! believe that
the American people feel this, and that
we are able to stand alone and cope
with anyone that confronts us. / believe
in that. Curiously enough, in almost all
of the last things that Grant wrote be-
fore his death, he dwells on this point
and states that through all time England
and this country should be natural allies
and friends, and then he refers to Eng
lands colonial policy, and dwells at
length upon that superb colonial system.
At that time we possessed no colonies, so
that it looks as if he almost OWNED what
the future was to bring for the United
States"
He then referred to the incidents which
have grown out of the Spansh-American
war, and the policy of the administra-
ton in colonial matters. Regarding Cuba
he said:
I'VE will maintain a form of govern
ment there until the people in the island
can give to the world a stable, perma-
nent government of their own. AS to the
Filipinos. the United States is fighting
them now to secure peace. That is the
only object of the present campaign. AS
to what will be done with them after
ward, the American people will settle
that question themselves. They will de-

CONDITION OF
IRON MARKET

Cleveland, April 27.-The Iron Trade
says: Big movements in the iron trade
have been in the air the past week. Their
significance is paramount. They show
that control by few large corporations
is not only the destiny of the iron trade
of the country but is practically it's con-
dition today, and that movements just
ahead will mean further dominance by
the large corporations. Greater certainty
of profitable prices year in and year out
and of harmonious action by the few
large interests is to result from the deals
now under way. The only apparent ele-
ment of uncertainty is that growing out
of the $15.000,000 steel works project at
Buffalo. While on the face of it this
may promise conflict, the final form
may give ample guaranty of peace. In

CONGRATULATE .
THE AMERICANS

London, April 27.-The Daily Mail, in
Philippines says:
The Americans are to be congratulated
warmly upon the victory which they have
won at Calumpit. Now, at last, it looks
as if the back of the Filipino resistance
had broken. The Englishmen will be par
ticularly glad of this fact, as they alone
appreciate to the full extent the difficult
ties which their cousins have to contend
with. The victory is all the more well
come and all the more grateful to us be-
cause we have been watching with deep
interest the efforts of a political party
in the United States to humiliate the
nation and the government by persuad-
ing them to a diSgraceful and cowardly
retreat. This party is insignificant in
strength and influence. but what it lacks
in this direction it makes up for by it's
lung power 1t has gone to the length of
endeaVoring to induce American volun-
teers to demand their recall in the face
of the enemy. To the eternal credit of
these volunteers, be it said that few have
acted upon this treacherous and unpatri-
otto instigation.
The American people may well be
proud of their soldiers BY the very
nature of things volunteers enlisted for a
short war with a civilized enemy are not
the troops best fitted for work at a great
distance from their country or for a
tedious, protracted and harassng strug-
gle with an unciviized foe in a tropical
climate. But the valor and determina-
tiOn Of volunteers and regulars have been
such that they have not once been worst
ed in battle. If Aguinaldo has a head on
his shoulders he will see that time has
come for him to submit to the inevitable.

of the Guard.

It is understood that within the next
few days the National Fencibles, Company
c, Second Battalion, District National
Guard one of the best known organizations
in the country, will be mustered out of the
service. The company, it is said, has not
been in a prosperous condition since 1895,
when the Fencibles sent drill team to the
interstate drill al Memphis. Tenn, which
failed to take a prize. Shortly after the
return OF the team to this city the annual
