AS CHEMICAL ENGINES.
Tire Commissioners Are Preparing 10 Equip he
hose Wagons Of Lhe laparlmen

IT is quite probable that the fire de-
partment has at the present time all
of the heavy double chemical engines
that are needed. The commissioners
are not aversc TO this useful type of
apparatus, but on the contrary will call
IL into use stilI farther. but i'm a differ
ent manner. for at the present time
they are making arrangements To equip
one Of the hose wagons with a chemical
tank. and II this works satisfactorily
II is probable that all OF its wagons. or
at least all that can be, will be likewise
equipped.
Ii is claimed by some that the heavy
chemical engines have had their day.
and the wagon chemicals will take their
place. \ well known Gre fighter said
when the first wagon arrives at a fire
and II Is found that the blaze is con-
fined TO a closet or small space. the
tank. which, OF course Is large one.
can be used instead OF being obliged to
wait for the chemical engine. Then,
again. should the contents Of this tank
b. insufficient 20 eXtingulsh the blaze.
the neAt wagon that come can be called
into play.
This viii prove great saver OF
household goods especially as the light
hose can be readily carried up into
houses without doing any damage. and
the stream from n tank Is much easier
managed than one from long line OF
hose. Nearly all of the firemen are
pleased With the idea. and believe that
u is a move In the right direction.

Would Not Permit Spain 10 Break Her Re.
nunclatIon Of Sovereignty.
THERE MIGHT Be SOME TURBULENCE
In Time Permanent Settled Government Would
Be Evolved No Nation Good Enough 10
Own Another The Senator Says.

Franklin, Mass. Jan. 10.-Joseph G
Ray OF this town a short time ag,
wrote To Senator George F. Hear ask
| ing for an expression from him OF wha
the United states should do in the mat
! ter OF holding the Philippine islands
| Senator Hoar has replied 10 the query
| by saying he would assist the inhabit
ants OF the islands to establish tn,
form of government which they desir,
ana then withdraw.
The letter from Senator Hoar is as
follows:
MY Dear Sir--I have your letter OF
December 21 i'm which you as9 what |
should recommend doing with the Phil
ippinc islands now that we have them
In our possession.
I'm the first place, we have not got
them in our possession, and i'm order to
get them into our possession, as / un-
derstand it. we have got to subdue the
inhabitants. We have driven the Span
ish army from one port i'm a single ISL
and out Of twelve hundred. where they
were already hemmed i'm by the insur-
gents. We possess that port and one or
two similar places. We have under our
control a population of perhaps 100 900
or 10000 persons out of 5000 900 or
L., 900, 600.
IF we get possession of the Philip
pine islands ii will be by the somewhat
remarkable process, for a republic
founded on our Declaration of Inde-
pendence, that governments rest ON The
consent of the governed. by conquer
ing them for their good--a process
which must be supported. If supported
al all, by the same logic by which our
slave holding brethren and fathers used
to hold slaves for their good.
What / would do with them is ex-
actly this: | would offer the insurgent
leaders who seem TO be the strongest
parties i'm those islands. our aid in es-
tablshing such form Of settled govern
ment as they desire and leave them a
sufficient military force To restore or
der. | would compel the renunciation
Of sovereignty there by Spain as we
have in the case of cuba, and then
after the government is fairly set up. |
would leave the islands To the care of
themselves.
Il suppose there may be a good deal
of turbulence and disorder. as there
was in the case of the republics south
of us, including Mexico, after they were
from Spain and Portugal
But ] think i'm the course of time
permanent settled government will be
evolved. II il were necessary / would
have an understanding with the great
powers OF the world that we would all
join in promoting and guaranteeing
such a result. / would have Spain un-
derstand that we should not permit a
breach of the treaty renouncing SOW
ereignty.
Il agree very much with Abraham
Lincoln when he said that God never
made one man good enough to own an
other, and | think also that such is
what he would have said il he had been
asked about IT, that God never made
one nation good enough to own another.
II am with friendliest regard, faith
fully yours,

The eagerly expected statement of
the first lord of the admiralty, George
J. Goschen, on the supplementary
naval programme, was made the other
day in the house OF COMMONS. he re-
viewed the original programme. which
wa considered sufficient when it. was
framed. being based upon the two
power system, that the navy of Great
Britain must be equal to the combined
fleets of any two powers
But, in consequence Of the action Of
Russia, on the same system, the gov.
eminent was compelled to present Il
supplementary programme. parallel
ing the Russian increase OF six battle
ships. which Russia proposed to begin
in 1898. onlytwo battleships we're taken
into account in the original British
programme. ard the first Lord of the
admiralty announced that be BOW
asked the house to grant four more
b~attleships.
Continuing. MIR. Goschen said. The
Russian programme provides Tor four
cruisers. We propose to build SOnr ard
also ~ d~estroyers. 1t IL estimated that
the cos Of the new programme will
be es.GOo COG $40. oOo. 0o0). making the
entire expenditure for the new ships
f1s.0oo.o 900 (s75. 000. ooo). The battle
ships will be especially adapted for
the passage OF the Suez canal"
Mr.. Goschen pointed out that her
majesty's government desired Europe
to note that the proposal was not
aggressive, but essential to main
tanning a principle laid down. Nor
was Russia's action a menace to Great
Britain. She had the right to build
such a fleet as she thought her posi-
ton required.
