Every Loyal American Will Approve
From the Utica Press

The United States. in discharging its re-
sponsibility and in the performance of the
national duty, will bring blessings to the
Fiipinos. a fact which the better element
among them all recognize. There is no at
tempt at argument in the Philippine com
missions report. 1t is plain statement of
incontroVeruble facts. which of itself estab-
fishes the very best possible argument for
the administration position. 1t is a COM
plete and indisputable answer to the charges
OF Atkinson Schurz and their ilk. 1t is the
opinion of men who are known and re-
spected. who have made personal iuvesti-
satlon. and know whereof they speak 1t
Is at once interesting and instructive, and
every American should read it, and every
loyal American will approve it,

THE "oPEN DOOR" TO CHINA.
France the Only Power Likely to OBJ
1ect. -.


Throughout diplomatic circles the keen
est interest is manifested in the American
attitude toward China, and particularly in
the replies which are likely to be elected
fl ON the American inquiry abroad. The
view prevails that, while there will be no
difficulty IN securing general assurances of
a favorable character, it IS not so certain
that a definite statement in writing or
other tangible form will be given.
Those best acquainted with the subject
said that Great Britain Germany and Rus
STA will coincide with the American view.
and that If any objection comes it is likely
to arise in France, as the French policy in
MAZDA gasCar ard Cochin China is to give
preferential rates to French goods and dis
ordinations against foreign goods. From
this it is implied that France would not
give definite assurance that American
commerce will be on equal terms in China
where French spheres of influence prevail.
The Chinese minister in Washington, Mr..
WI Ting-Fang, is keeping watchful eye
on the recent developments relating to
China. Within the last few days he CON
ferred with Secretary Hay with view to
learning to what extent the United States
had acted. The Secretary of State is I'M
derstood to have said that our ambassadors
and ministers abroad had been asked to
secur definite assurances that there should
be no interruption to the access of Ameri-
can trade and commerce to the interior OF
China through the treaty ports.
Such assurances had been given from
time to time in somewhat informal man
ner. as parts of the manifestos by which
foreign powers assumed control Of ports
on the China coast. but the purpose of this
request was to have the assurances take
definite, tangible, written form, 50 as to
leave no room for doubt that the future
commerce of the United States in the orient
would meet no unforeseen barriers. The
recent move of the United States was not
the result of any understanding or agree
ment with the Chinese minister and so far
as is known here. the Chinese authorities
We're not consulted. Whether it would be
regarded favorably by China depends. in
the judgment of Minister WI, on subse

FOR ILLEGAL SALE OF LIQUOR.



John c. Seller and James Tobin were
this afternoon arraigned before Judge KIM
ball and a jury to answer the charge Of
keeping an unlicensed bar. Lieut.. John c.
Daley of the ninth precinct testified that
with Sergts. Falvey and Ellsworth and sew
eral other officers he went to Sellers house
Sunday, October %. and succeeded in cap
turing large quantity of liquor and some
glasses. Seller was taken to the station
house and locked up. Later Tobin. who is
alleged to have been either a partner or an
employe of Seller, was arrested and also
held in custody.
Mr.. c. Maurice Smith, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS asked the lieutenant IL he had not
held out inducements to Tobin to make a
confession of the accusation against him.
In reply the lieutenant said ne had not but
that while locked up Tobin told the witness
If the latter would let him out he {Tobin)
would make statement that he sold the
liquor for Seller and not for himself
MI Smith argued that the statement of
Tobin to Lieut.. Daley ought not to be adj
mitted as evidence. Before ruling on the
question the court took a recess for the
purpose of holding a conference with Mr.
A. b. Duvali, counsel for the District, in
reference to some matters affecting court
proceedings.

Naval Signal Service Outfits.

Several interesting local topics are con-

Eighteen thousand red stars, $4,000 green

Admiral Dewey's Views.
From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal

From the Lewiston lMe.l Journal.
Admiral Dewey, speaking of the report
of the Philippine commission, says that he
indorses every word of il. The admiral
says that there has never been a moment
since he captured Manila when We could
have withdrawn from the islands. He be-
HeVeS permanent American control to he
essential, and that the ranks of Aguinaldo
are rapidly disintegrating lie thinks the
insurrection is rapidly weakening. and he
believes the war cannot be long protracted.
This conversation of the man who opened
up the Philippines to Uncle Sam is a ire
mendous poser to the anti-imperialists, who,
it is clear, have prolonged the rebellion,
which they seem also to have egged on
Aguinaldo to start The judgment of Ad-
mral Dewey seems to differ sharply from
that of Mr. Bryan.

RULING IN BANKRUPTCY CASE.
Justice HaEner Decides Point Against
Certain Creditors.


Justice Hagher today, in the District
court. made an important ruling in con-
STRUNG the bankruptcy act. Jacob Epstein
and number ref Baltimore merchants, Oc-
tober 30 last. instituted proceeding to have
Jacob Lesser. q merchant of this city, de-
clared bankrupt. alleging that he had, on
the I'D of October, assigned and transfer
red his stock lin trade to Samuel w. Au-
genstein, with dntent1t to hinder, delay and
defraud his creditors,fand that such trans
Ter was upon rno consideration.
On ming the petition the court directed a
warrant of seizure to ISSUE requiring the
marshal to take possession of the trans
ferred stock, (which sthe marshal obeyed
Ihereupon Augenstein filed motion to
Guash the warrant of seizure, claiming to
be a bona fide purchaser for value.
upon nearing of the motion to quash the
warrant OF seizuretthe court held that the
proceedings were defective, in that the pc
tition combined an application for adjudi-
catlon IN bankruptcy with the application
Tor seizure; that the affidavit upon which
the warrant had issued was insufficient to
justify Its issuance, and that the court of
bankruptcy could not direct the marshal
summar1ly to take possession of property
Whicn had been transferred. and was in the
possession OF third person claiming ad-
Versely to the bankrupt and his creditors,
prior to the institution of the proceedings
IN bankruptcy; that if the creditors de-
sired to proceed against the property they
must mus DO so through the trustee in bank
ruptcy, and directed the warrant of seizure
to be quashed and the marshal to deliver
the stock to Augenstein
he same creditors today presented an APP
picatlon tor an injunction against Augen-
stein to enjoin and restrain him from SELL
ing or d1SpoSing of the stock pending the
adjudication in bankruptcy. After argu-
ntent by counsel the court held that the in
j. notion should be refused; that no injunc-
ton in the matter could issue out of the
court of bankruptcy, but that separate
proceeding on the equity side of the court
must be instituted Messrs Mackall and
