PEACE FOR AeuINALpo,
The Only Terms Upon Which 1t WIN
BE Considered Is Surrender

NEW YORK. Jan, sA-A special TO
the Herald nom Washington, says;
A proposition OF Aguinaldo's agent for
making the desires Of Filipinos known
to clvil representatives OF this govern
Iuent is perfectly feasible, II is all in
Agumaldo's own hands lie knows
perfectly well the terms OF peace,
which mean surrender acknowledge
ment OF American sovereignty and the
fullest measure OF self government,
which will be framed after fully ascer-
tammg the desires and capabilities OF
the Efl,piuos,
This was the statement made by
PostmastCr-General Charles Emery
Smith, after reading Senior Mabinis
message 10 the Herald, Colonel DENLY,
OF the Philippine commission. said that
Senior Mabml was one OF the most able
Fnipmos and he regarded the fact that
he had written the communication as
favorable indication. Colonel DENLY
indicated that he believed there was
plenty OF work that civil committee
could do to advantage in the Philip
pines.
1T is my opinion" he said, that
civil government ought TO be estab-
lishei H. the islands as soon rs posSi-
bic and that as soon as any commun-
ity shows itself ready or tit Tor gov
ernment. whether municipal or pro-
vincial, such government ought to be-
established without waiting Tor the
complete pacihcation of the islands.
These governments ought to be
built up from the bottom starting with
the municipal government and then
advancing to the provincial govern
meuts. II a modus viyyndi could be
established between a civil commission
and the military authorities, il might
be desirable to have a new commission
sent out 20 continue the work OF the
old commission"
other administration officials read In
q frienoly spirit the message from
Senior Mablni. In effect they say that
Senior Mabini is requesting just what
the administration has contemplated
doing for the Filiplros The only con-
ditmn required are surrender and COM
plete acknowledgement OF the sover-
eighty Of the United states. Then win
come civil government and fun and
free conference with the natives, with
the view to giving them the largest
measure II self government.
Az to the suggestion for a civil COM
mission, a cabinet officer told me the
president contemplated sending such
commission to the Philippines at an
early date. In his message to congress
he mentioned that it would soon be de-
sirable to send the present commission
or a pa,t Of it back to Manila and this
idea is now under consideration.
Concerning the visit Of a Filipino
commission to the country, the same
cabinet officer said it would be the
policy Of the administration and con-
errss to give a full hearing TO leading
Filipinos and that congress, at the
proper time would doubtless welcome
a representative body Of men from the
islands.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Interesting Report Submitted by the
President at the Last Meeting.

At the last meeting of the chamber
Of commerce. held Monday evening,
January %, President Van Dusen sub
mitted his annual report as follows:
To the members of the Astoria
Chamber Of Commerce = Gentlemen:
Another year has been added to the
existence and history Of the Astoria
Chamber OF Commerce. Its records
show that a temporary organization
was effected or November II, 1877, and
that committee was appointed TO
draft a constitution and bylaws, and
that said committee submitted report
five days thereafter, which was adopt
ed and permanent organization et-
fected on the 22nd day of November,
1877. with ]. G. A. Bowlby as president,
August c. Kinney, secretary, and A.
Van Dusen, treasurer. The chamber
is therefore now entering on its twen-
ty-third year OF continual effort to
promote the commercial prosperity OF
Astoria ard the welfare of its citizens.
True indeed it is, that all the efforts
put forth by the chamber in the past
nave not been crowned with the sue
cess we deem they merited, but an ex-
animation Of our records will clearly
show that any failure has not been
caused by lack of persistent effort, and,
although at the present time success
in some measures, which we deem to
be Of vital interest to the welfare of
our seaport, seem to be deferred and
opposed by antagonizing interests, the
chamber can surely congratulate itself
on the good it has accomplished and
is accomplishing.
During the past year We have, by
correspondence with the heads of the
proper departments and our congress
sional representatives. endeavored to
secure favorable action by the govern
ment as follows:
First-The laying of the Hawaiian
telegraphic cable from the Columbia
river, as affording the shortest route.
Second-The construction Of gov
ernment dry dock.
Third-That the secretary Of war

CHINA AND AMERICA.
The United States VIII Be Welcomed
as a Factor in the Orient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24-Ho
Vow, the Chinese consul at this port
was among the speakers at the ban
quet given at the Palace hotel to Ex-
Park Commissioner Metzon. In the
course Of his remarks he said:
Il am glad to realize that the United
States is becoming more and more
Of a factor in the orient. The Chinese
are convinced that the Americans are
not trying to seize any part Of their
territory. The open door policy is
what this country wants and should
have. / do say that you should throw
down your barriers and let in your
cheap labor. 1t will be to your advan-
tage to allow other Chinese free ac-
cess in to the United States.
Permit me also to say that a city
that can build warship like the Ore
gon is just the place for China to come
for It's new war vessels and trade
steamers"

Before Mr.. Rhodes had forcseen and
carried out the great scheme OF ex-

had been preaching It to deaf ears.
His expedition through Beuchanaland
in 1855 when the Beers disputing over

was due to the dread which his name

He has had greater experience in
South Africa than any other British
general aud his column Is the only one
that has attacked the enemy In the
Boer way among the boulders and
koples ard taken advantage OF the
cover offered by the rocks.
The plan on which the British troops
are now operating was not heard OF
until Warrens arrival and the compli-
ments SO freely bestowed upon the
theoretical brillIancy Of General Bull
ler's turning movement have been
earned In reality by the general who
is carrying out the new method Of
operations with wariness and delber-
alton.
General Warren is described as a
man Of military genius and as pro-
fomdly religious. resembling in many
respects General Gordon and having
far seeing mind. He has no social
qualities and 1t Is probable that his
aversion FOR drawing rooms and the
dislike Of the Lord Wolseley gang for
stern, mystlcally- soldier OF
the Gordon type have stood In the way
Of his promotion.
If Warren succeeds 1t will be the
most brilliant feat Of arms since the

ler's victory will be followed by the

forces, and the war will virtually be
ended; II the movement fails the fault
