there Is sort; OF agreement as to what
our policy should be. It remains to be-
seen whether the administration view
will be the congressional view, but 1t ID
fair to predict that this Is not improb-l
able. The administration view, as 1t
has been discussed at cabinet meetings
and in private conversation, Is to place
over the archipelago governor with
absolute authority in all civil affairs,
leaving the military under the direction
of an experienced general, his duties
being confined to the suppression of
any disorder that may arise. The vari-
GUS important islands are to be kept
apart, each under government of Its
own, and the self-government within
those islands to be developed as local
autonomy only, its only relations to the
government of the archipelago being
through the governor at Manila.
In other words, this plan calls for
segregation of the islands as political
communities, because they are already
distinct and apart in some of the racial
characteristics of their people, in their
tribal sentiment and their language. A
government that will be good for one
of the islands might not be good for an
other. The methods that proved eff
cacious in one might be wholly I'M
suited to its neighbor Each could thus
be dealt with according to its circum-
stances and needs. OF course, no trade
barriers would be erected between the
Islands. no impediments to intercourse.
but each would be placed upon it's
bottom as an embryo state. gradually
working it's way toward a more perfect
civilization and more perfect form of
local self-government In time these
various states may be welded together
| in Philippine nation, either with abb
solute sovereignty or with something
very closely approaching it. But that
can only come generations hence, when
| the education of the people in the art of
self government and their character as
a nation shall have been shaped by the
guiding hand of the United States into
something strong and cohesive.

the opinion that the present prices
would continue for the next two or
three years.
He said that his company was export
ing no less than 700 tons of wire pei

sold at lower rates abroad than at
home, but for'the present this was nee
essary to hold the outside trade. He
had found that in Germany all lines of
the iron and steel industry were syndi-
Gated.
He said that the American company
had earned dividend on it's common
stock as well as on its preferred, the di-
rectors considering it wiser to lay aside
something for possible rainy day.

Carnegie WIN Not Retire.

Pittsburg, Nov. 15.-Andrew Carnegie
will not sell out his interests to III. c..
Frick or any trust. This was agreed to
at conference between Mr.. Carnegie,
Mr.. Frick and others in the Carnegie
offices yesterday afternoon. AT the
conclusion af the meeting a statement
was given out for publication,
The paper stated that there will be no
change in the ownership, management
or policy of the company, and that
there Will be no war between the Rock
efeller ore carrying and the Carnegie
interests. The Rockefeller boats 1T is
claimed, are insufficient to carry the 4,
100000 tons of ore required annually,
and the Carnegie people We're required
10 get boats of their own. The com
pany denies any intention of entering
the shipbuilding business.
Failure to finance the deal is said 70
be responsible for the collapse of the
negotiations for Mr.. Carnegie's hold
Iings.

FAvoRs FEDERAL SUBSIDIES.
Manager of Steel and Wire Trust
Presents some Interesting Views.

Washington, Nov 15.-In giving his
testimony before the industrial COM
mission John w. Gates, managing di
rector of the American Steel and Wire
Company, gave an interesting account
of his effort to effect a consolidation of
all the wire producing countries. in
oludng all the European nations. The
commission had failed he said because
of the in1possibllity of reaching an
agreement on the share of the product
to be allotted to the United states.
Mr.. Gates commended A high terms
the German method Of encouraging the
producing and exporting interests say
ing that If the government of the Unit
ed states would adopt the plan there
pursued they soon would be doing 80
per cent. of the iron and steel business
of the world.
He advocated subsidies TO steamship
lines and to national corporations of
5000. 600 capital and over. He would
have the corporations pay literally for
such charters in the beginning and then
have them pay large sums annually for
the continuance of the franchise, in
creasing the amount as the eapitaliza-
ton increased until the annual fee
should be no less than million dollars
for a company capitalized at hundred
millions. He advocated government
supervision of all such corporations.
He said the protective tariff had had
much to do with building up the iron
land steel Industry, and that the con-
istinuance of the policy was necessary to
! the future prosperity of the industry.
| He said that his consolidation had been
/ affected last January. A large number
4 of plants that could not be operated
4 had been shut down.
The company employs $4,000 men and
I wages had been increased on an aver
! age of 40 per cent. The company did
not, nor would it, recognize the trade
4 unions dealing with its men as individ-
i uals. He said the company controlled
1 all the barbed wire patents and had q
4 monopoly in this respect. On this prod
4 uct higher charge was made than or
other products, because of the monop.
oily of the patents. This was because OF
the money spent in their acquisition
4 Generally speaking, the advance in wire
A products had been only proportonatt
to the increase in the prices of raw ma.
terial and of wages He considered
that all these advances had been due t.
j demand and supply and not to the com
bination.
He asserted that the American com
pany did not seek a monopoly of thu
production of unpatented articles o.
seek to control the selling prices of III
patrons. He said that the trusts onl.
controlled about 40 per cent of the irol
and steel business of the country. MI

THE STORAGE or WATER.
Survey Figures on Reser-
yoirs for Irrigation.

Washington, Nov. 15-The question of
storing food waters for irrigation pur-
poses, which is being generally dis
cussed throughout the west. has
brought in SO much correspondence to
the geological survey that Frederick n.
Newell, the photographer, has issued a
circular setting forth what has been
done in the way OF government sur
veys and the attitude of the govern
ment towards the building of storage
reservoirs. The circular says that a
large number of reservoir sites in west
ern states have been surveyed andre
served, and that the maps and esti-
mates of cost of construction have been
prepared and plans drawn to afford an
accurate basis for appropriation for
construction.' The circular states that
the officers of the survey have no con-
Germ with the question where these
reservoirs are to be built by private
capital or public funds.

Expect Pence soon.

Washington, Nov 15.-There is here
an abiding confidence that by the time
congress gets down to business the re-
bellion in the Philippines will have be-
come thing of the past. 1t would not
surprise the president or the secretary
of war to learn any hour now that Ag-
uinaldo, 1.-The George Washington of the
East" had thrown away his Ratchet
and taken French leave of his beloved
Philippines. Indeed, it is perfectly true
that this would be more acceptable
news than tidings of his capture. Moth
ing could better please the officials of
this government than the flight of the
agile adventurer to Hong Kong or New
Zealand or any other seaport beyond
the Jurisdiction Of Uncle Sam. This is,
also. about what is expected. No eff
forts would be made to follow him up
and gain possession of his body. dead or
alive. His would be good radiance.
Doubtless Aguinaldo believes the
Americans would shoot or hang him II
they caught him, and this is the reason
why it is believed he will escape at the
first opportunity, If he has not already
done so. He probably thinks that ii
caught he will get what he deserves
but he is not familiar with the Ameri-
can way of doing such things He does
not know that even the most vigorous
supporters of the war against hin
would not harm hair OF his head, but
would give him the benefit of the doub
as to whether or not he was q bandit OIL
patriot, and let him go. That is the
American way, but 1t is hoped here
Aguinaldo does not understand 1t, anc
that he will HE himself far away. A:
captive he might prove to be a sor
of elephant on our hands.
| While it is true the time has not come
for serious discussion as to the de
tails of the future government of thu
Philippines, that phase Of the situation
may be nearer at hand than we think
In this connection it Is interesting t.

it had come to be the general opinion
among arctic explorers that the only
possible way to reach the north pole
was by a dash from the farthest point
on the land toward the pole at the sea-
son when the ice was safe. Explorations
had shown that the pole, wherever 1t
might be, was in the midst of great
sea. and the last 40 miles must be made
across this sea.
