SPEAKS FOR M'KINLEY.
Senator Allison Discusses the Philip
pine Situation.

New York, Nov. Senator Allison,
of Iowa. discussing matters in the
Philippines in the forthcoming issue of
the Independent Will say:
1T does not seem to me that there
can be two sides to the question of
what is our present duty in the Philip
pines. By our treaty with Spain and
with the exchange of Publications OF
the treaty these islands became ours.
Our title to them is clear and unques-
tionabIe under our constitution and
under the law and usages of nations.
The instruction there against our au-
thority began after the treaty was
signed at Paris and continues to this
time. Our duty requires US to suppress
this insurrectiOn and to establish peace
and order there. This understand the
president is endeaVOring TO do through
the means given him by congress be-
fore the close of the last session through
the army bill, which provide for 1OO,0OO
men temporarily, with the understand
ing of all parties that this army would
be used so far as necessary to suppress
this insurrection- This duty was i'm
posed upon the president not by par
tisan majority but practically with
unanlmity by all parties in congress,
and failure on his part to use this
power to restore order there would sub
Ject him to the SeVereSt cenSure OF con-
greSS and the American people.
with the restoration of peace and
order there, 1 take it for granted that
congress will provide a government for
the people of the islands in the spirit
of liberty and justice and with a view
to their highest possible civilization.
Heretofore when possessions have been
acquired by the United States, congress
dealt with the people residing in those
territories in the spirit of liberty and
justice which prevails in our constitu-
ton and in our laws and have no
reason to give or even to suspect that
future congresses will not make such
rules and regulations for these inhab-
itants as will provide for them the
largest measure of liberty possible for
them as well as the largest local par
t1c1patlOn in the government consistent
with the situation there under our
sovereignty and under our flag.
so far as L can see the only prac-
teal alternative to this is the aban-
donment of the islands, the withdrawal
of our troops and the withdrawal of our
navy as well.
THE president has no power to direct
this, as he can not ALLEVIATE territory
acquired. Congress can do so by law
and viii soon be in session and those
who think we should surrender what
We have gained there and withdraw OR
army and navy will have an oppor-
tunity of testing the sense of congress
by offering propositions to that end"

Grain Letter

Chicago, NOV. ].
WHEAT-The surprise and disappOint-
ment of the day in wheat holders was the
apathy of Liverpool in face of English
disaster in Africa. 1t had been generally
conceded that any decisive battle there
going against England would effect our
own markets. But on the contrary their
Indifference was only more marked There
was a good deal of long selling and shorts
We're the best support. The decline was
sufficient to reach few scattered buy

are showing marked falling off but they
While not especially bearish on wheat it
looks to US if market would work some
lower before any material advance A
good shaking out of long wheat would

measure as wheat nor for the same reas-
ons. The local talent has been against

ADANGEROUs GIFT.
Internal Machine Sent by Express to
an Iowa Woman.

Waterloo. Ia. Nov. An Internal
machine of ingenious design was re-
ceived by express from Chicago last
evening by Mrs. J. W. Hoot. The ma
chine was in the form of we'll finished
cabinet, about a foot long. When she
pulled the knob to open the drawer a
percussion cap exploded, but failed to
do any damage. She dropped the pack
age in alarm and latter turned it over
to the police who tested the machine to-
day. Taking it to the river and fasten-
ing a rope to the knob they retreated
and pulled the rope A terrific eXplO-
sion resulted, throwing rocks over a
block and leaving not a particle of the
machine. Every building in the vicin-
ity was shaken and residents alarmed.
Mrs. Hoot received a letter at the
same time calling attention to the pres
ent that would be received. Mrs. HOot
has received strangely wOrded letters
written from Hotel Morrison. Chicago.
The authorities here are investigating
and the Chicago authorities have been
notified
