LOSE THEIR POSITIONS.
Thousands OF Travelling Statesmen.

Three thousand travelling tobacco
statesmen, il is said, rave lost their
positions in Indiana alone since the
gigantic tobacco trust was formed
and a. many of the other lii es Are
similarly affected il is safe TO esti-
mate the number a, twice that
figure. A few days ago President
Dove OF the Commercial Travellers
Association told the industrial con-
gress that 80, 100 men had lost po-
sitions, -, 900 had had salaries re-
duced, and that the outlook was
black.
These figures according to the
statement of a number of travelling
men who were asked about the mat
ter last night, have not been exag
gerated. The travellers as a rule
agree with President Dove, and
while they have no way OF knowing
Just how many knights of the
grip have lost out, they know that
the number is very large. They
have trust for dinner. breakfast and
supper every day and it usually
forms the topic Of conversation at
every gathering of travellers.

THE PHILIPPINES.
EULOGY OF ADMIRAL DEWEY.
We Have Got Either TO Conquer or
Annfhilate the Eilipinos-Agutn-
pendencc.

NEW YORK, October Edwin Wild
man, ex-Vice-Consul OF the United
States at Hongkong who was stationed
at Hongkong when the war IN the Phil
ippines began. was a passenger on the
American Line steamer st. Louis, which
reached her dock from southampton
and Cherbourg to-day.
Mr.. Wndman spoke on conditions in
the Philippines, and eulogized Admiral
Dewey.
"The Philippines" he said. "are well
worth the struggle. The country out
there IS magnificent. and the climate is
good. There are seven months Of good
weather, and then comes the rainy season,
when one can do nothing. But then, in
every country, there is a bad time Of the
year. The sooner we get down to gov
erning the islands the better. They arc
worth much from a commercial stand
point The whole country IS rich ana
productive.
General Otis IS too old, and is not
aggressive enough. He tries to do tho
whole thing out there. and, like every
other man who tries 10 90 all, ne uOes
nothing successfully. The great need out
I'm the islands is a young and aggres-
sive man.
"As 10 the question Of self-goyernment,
am led to believe that none Of the ma
tive people are capable Of that In the
highest sense of the word. The only way
that the natives could govern themselves
would be under American supervision.
1T believe that the flag in the Philip
mines should never be lowered. We have
got 10 conquer or annihilate them The
question is. Which will our War De-
partment do2
NO PROMISES TO AGUINALDo.
~ want to say now that at no time
was Aguinaldo, or any OF the Finpinos'
promised independence. Admiral Dewey
made them no promises. We brought
Aguinaldo over to Manila just as any
other man was brought over there 10
HELM. At no time was anything said
about giving them their independence.
You will notice that in his maniIestoes'
Aauinaldo is careful not 20 say directly
tbaf there were promises made; that
tax always comes from some OF his fol-
lowers. VINO have something 10 gain by
his success"
