of the most impracticables and ma
lignants. He declares that there is
not the least intention of subjugating
the Philippines. All that the presi-
dent seeks to do, he remarks, is to pre-
serve law and order in the islands, and
if the islanders would cooperate the
president and the peace commission
"would enter at once upon the work Of
their political regeneration, with q
view to giving them all the privileges
which the territories Of the United
States between the Pacific and the At
lantic now enjoy.' The territorial
form Of government which the secre-
tary mentions as being favored by the
president does not necessarily mean
a government like that which Okla
homa, New Mexico and Arizona have.
1t is more likely to be a regime on the
Alaska order at first. Full territorial
privileges may come in time, but it is
not likely to be adopted at once. 1t is
the desire of the American people to
give the Filipinos all the home rule
which they can use with safety to their
own and American interests, and to
increase their privileges as they can
use them profitably.

of the insurgent forces are becoming
more apparent as time goes on. One
of the most significant indications as
to the view Of the situation enter
tanned by the Washington authorities
is the fact that Admiral Dewey has
received permission to return to the
United States, and that an officer has
already been designated to relieve him.
The general impression is that this
distinguished officer, whose conduct in
the presence of delicate conditions has
been marked by a sagacity which has
fifty matched his b~rilliancy and dash
in actual naval operations, would not
be detached from service at Manila if
it were not felt that his work there
was completed. 1t will occasion no
surprise now at any time to learn that
the Filipinos have accepted the scheme
of government proposed by the pres
ident and which offers them as large
q degree Of autonomy as is compatible
with the maintenance of American
authority under present conditions.

The Washington correspondent of
the Minneapolis Journal says with re-
lation to the controversy relative to the
free admission of seed wheat: At the
last session of congress Senator Hans
brough Of North Dakota endeavored
to secure a change in the tariff law so
wheat free of duty. This was in ac-
cordancc with the requests made by
many North Dakota and not a few
northern Minnesota farmers. who have
in years past gone to the Saskatche-
wan country for a portion Of their seed
wheat and who believe that a change
Of seed being beneficial, they should
be relieved from the necessity Of pay
ing % cents per bushel duty. The
bill met with unanimous opposition in
the house committee on ways and
means, where all revenue measures
under the constitution must originate,
but one day in the senate a bill, which
had come from the house, providing
for the free admission of circus ami
mails which had gone from this coun-
try originally to some foreign and
were being returned, came up for pas
sage, and Senator Hansbrough offered
an amendment to it providing for the
free admission Of seed wheat. After
4 brief debate the amendment was
adopted and the bill and amendment
went to a committee Of conference Of
the two houses, where a spirited dis
cussion took place, resulting finally in
the senate conferees receding and per-
hitting the original animal bill to pass
without the seed amendment. The
senator, however, did not give up the
fight, and in order to fortify himself
for Il renewal Of the contest i'll the
coming session addressed a circular
letter to about 500 farmers in North
Dakota and Minnesota, soliciting their
opinion as to the necessity for such
legislation. \ large number Of the
farmers to whom the circulars were
sent have replied and their answers
are most interesting. Fully 30 per
cent of the answers favor the pro-
posed legislation. The North Dakota
Agricultural college, however, op-
posed it. The extreme diversity of
opinion on the subject will doubtless
result in spirited discussions in farm
ers' meetings in the northwest. Sen
ator Hansbrough thinks that the pre-
ponderance of the testimony in favor
Of the removal of the duty being so
strong he will be justified in asking
the next congress to take action.
