SECRETARY WILSON'S OPINION.
He Says the Pacific Coast VIII Control the
Trade of the Orient and
the Pacific.

Seattle, Wash, July 1S.-Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson will remain
in this city several days. or until he
has seen every farmer from whom it is
possible to obtain any information. He
said:
ton to command the trade of the Orient and
Pacific. Manila alone will take all the butter
Washington can manufacture and put up in tin
cans. The Pacific coast is destined to yet be
the great market of the world and it is the
ambition of the department that the state of
Washington be one OF the first to enter actively
into the manufacture of butter and tin cans to
export to China, Japan and the Philippines.
Expansion is going to be great thing for the
coast 1t will open up and develop a market
that would otherwise be Stagnant for many
years to come. The people are already begin
ming to see it in that light Why, say
that great majority of the people of the states
from here east are in favor of keeping the flag
where it is. The feeling of President Mckinley
and the administration regarding the Philip
pines is the same as took us to Cuba believe
it is our duty TO teach self-government to all
those whom we happen to come in contact with in
the Philippines through war, in the name
of humanity, with Spain Aguinaldo is cut

ing Mustered VIII BE Incorporated
into the Regular Army.

Washington, July 1s.-At the war
department the pressure for commits
sions continues, although most of the
appointments for the volunteer regi-
ments ordered have been made. The
pressure is believed to be due to the
belief that eventually this provisional
force" will become part of the regu-
lar military establishment, and
that the tenure of officers now
appointed will be about as secure
as that of those who have
long been in the regular service. There
is no doubt that there will be need for
all the forces now authorized for Ions
time after the expiration of the limit
of time placed upon the enlistment o.
the volunteers. Under the terms o.
the existing law all of the officers
and troops are to be mustered out
July 1, 1901, but it is believed that
before that time arrives the necessity
of extending the time will be APP

FAvoRS LOCALIZED POOLING
Paul Morton, of the Santa Fe, Says Disas-
ter Would Follow Unrestrained Com
petition Among Railroads.

Chicago, July 1S.-Paul Morton, vice
president of the Santa Fe railroad sys
tenn, was asked by reporter his opin-
ion as to the final outcome of the pres
ent vigorous railway consolidation
movement. Mr.. Morton said:
One Of three things. it seems to me- is bound
to come in the transportation business of the
country: LOCALIZED pooling, concentration of
ownership or government control. OF these
three the people, if they wise, Will accept
the first and should advocate it earnestly. One
fifth Of the wealth of this country is invested If
railroad securities and people owning then
should be protected. Unrestrained compet-
ton would in time destroy the value OF these
securities, and disaster in all other lines of in
duStry would certainly follow.
