 He showed that, regarding all the terri tory heretofore acquired by the United States. under democratic administrations, it had been provided that the inhabitants should be incorporated as citizens Of the union. whereas, in regard to the Philip pines, the United States senate on the ratification of the treaty, adopted reso- lution declaring that it was not the inten- ton to incorporate the inhabitants Of the Philippines as citizens of the United States
 He argued the question at length from a commercial standpoint, showing by con- elusive arguments that the annexation Of these islands would tend more to hinder than to promote trade in the Orient claim ing that in this day and time, as in the past the doctrine of Jefferson was best: Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."
 Something Rotten in Denmark
 MT Tomlinson said that democratic con- ventions, as they were meeting in the states of the union, were sounding note of warning against the imperialistic ten. dency of the republican party's foreign policy regarding the new possessions; that MT. Bryan was sounding note of warn- ing, and that there must indeed, be some- ;,, rlf yub rpnnb1ip like Thos. B. Reed, John Sherman, Sena- tor Mason and Senator Hoar refused to follow the president in his colonial schemes.
 MT. Tomlinson said, from partisan standpoint, it was advisable to fight the republican party along this line and at every vulnerable point; that the Germans of the pivotal states were indeed in thor ough opposition to the republican party now on account of the foreign policy which afforded an excuse for a large standing army, the burdens of which they had felt in the home country; that the same was true of the Swedes, and that the labor vote was also soldly against the republicans, seeing in expansion only an excuse for a large standing army, which has always been regarded as a burden and menace, and seeing it 1t also an opportunity to bring the cheap labor of the so-called new possessions in competition with the labor of this country.

Washington, September 23.-The state de- partment has not been in communication with United States Consul Macrun, of Pre- tcria, or in fact with any of it's consular representatives in South Africa recently, sc that officially 1t knows nothing of late developments in that section.
 Some weeks ago Secretary Hay gave in- structions to the consular officers of the United States in South Africa to protect all American interests in their respective To- calties, and to protest against any in- fringement upon the personal liberties of Americans These instructions would cover any attempt to impress them into the mili- tary service of the South African Republic.
