senator noar ON Philippine Question.

SehAtOE hoAE ON Ehlippihe question:
Senator Hoar delivered in the Senate
Monday a very extended speech on the
Philippine question. He occupied between
three and four hours, and presented pam
phlets and reports which were not read but
which will be printed as part of the speech.
He contended that the United States had
no right, morally or from precedent or es-
tablished policy, to govern the people Of
the islands against their will and that the
Filipinos, under Aguinaldo, were not only
fitted TO govern themselves, but had been
aiming at independence for years. Our
government of them against their wish, he
argued, was contrary to the policy of the
national government, contrary to the prin-
ciples of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and contrary TO the principles Of the
constitution and international law.
He saw no prospect of relief except
through the Republican party, which he
hoped to see in time drawn back to the
old beaten path from which it had strayed.
He felt that the election of Bryan would
give no assurance of a better settlement of
the question of imperialism, while it would
bring in other evils which were to be
avoided at all hazards.
He then urged that under the principles
on which American greatness had come
into being, the acquisition of new terri.
tory could only be for constitutional end.
and that in every case of American expan-
sion heretofore, territory had been acquired
only with the intention of ultimately max
ing new states. He held that no territory
had been acquired in the Philippines out
side of Manila. Territory, not people,
may be conveyed, he said, but only when
the title is unquestioned. And if people
like the Filipinos rise against a tyrant and
gain possession, have they not the title?
he asked. He argued that the Philjppine
republic was a nation, as far advanced as
Cuba, and worthy of the same treatment
by this country. The whole difficulty with
the Fllipinos, he urged, could have been
avoided If the islands could have had the
same treatment as Cuba.

The United States Charge d'Affairs at
Constantinople will be directed to inform
the Sultan that this government must in
sist on the payment without further delay
OF the 100000 indemnity for outrages on
American missionaries and destruction of
their property. The patience of this gov
eminent has finally become exhausted over
the trihing and evasive policy pursued by
tne Ottoman government in regard to these
claims, which were fully recognized as val
id over five years ago.
Several courses have been urged on the
President for the collection of the 800
OO0 indemnity which is admitted by the
Sultan to be due to the American mission
aries. Consideration has been given To a
proposition to seize the port of Smyrna
and administer its customs revenues
until the judgment and the expenses of
collection are cancelled. Such a course
might lead to serious complications, or to
war. -

Er.GOv. Woodbury. In Court Again.

Ex.-Gov. U. A. Woodbury. was again a
witness at Burlington yesterday in the petit
ton for an injunction against himself and
the two managers of the Van Ness house.
II has been generally supposed that the
case against the Van Ness growing out Of
the now celebrated banquet of the Fish
and Game club had been closed with the
decision of Chancellor Rowell in the petit
ton denying the application for tempo
rary injunction. 1t now develops that the
case in which there remains the applica-
ton for permanent injunction is still
pending. 1t was in this matter and also

Page Not So Jauntv.

The st. Adams Messenger says that one
OF the unmistakable indications at the
gatherings in Rutland and in Burling-
ton was that NJ. F. Allen of Ferrisburgb.
is not likely to have an opponent in his
canvass for the nomination of lieutenant
governor.
The messenger also says the Powers men
were feeling unusually iubilant at Rutland
and Burlington and claim that the recent
choice OF delegates in Lamoille county was
made strictly on the Powers-Page issue
ana that they were overwhelmingly sue
cessful. 1t is not too much to say that in
The opinion of men long observant of Yer
mont analrs, Ex-Gov. Pages canvass is
not gaining strength, to say the least. and
there is reason to believe that he is losing

governor himself does not exhibit his Gus
tomary Jaunty air of cheerfulness and that
ne shows signs of care and anxiety.

back water upon the wheels. The new
arch bridge of the Fitchburg road has been
an object of interest, to see what effect the
changes would have in time of high water,
as affecting the grandeur Of the scenery at
that point, and it is conceded that the
bridge adds much to the beauty of the
place. The water is now some little dis
lance up on the lower part of the arch,
nearly filling the space allowed, and as the
water comes out the lower side il makes
the torrent seem more irresistible than ever.
