OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.

1t is understood that the President
will appoint Ger. Luke b. Wright. OF
Memphis, Tenn. as the Southern mem
Der of the Philippine commission. Mr.
Wright is a gold standard Democrat, an
expansionist. and is in accord with the
Presidents Philippine policy.
WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES TO END.
News has been received at the War
Department from Manila that with the
end of the present expedition Of Gen.
eral Bates into the two provinces at
the extreme southern part Of the Island
of Luzon, military operations in the
Philippines will close. Afterward there
will be nothing to be done but under
take to maintain order through police
system. 1t is said that steps are being
taken to form a thoroughly mobile.
lightly EARNED gendarmerie, something
on the order Of the Canadian mounted
police, TO cover the islands at all points,
and conserve the energies of the regu'
lar troops.
The arrest Of Tsgal on the charge
Of being a guerilla. as reported from
Manila, marks the initiation Of another
policy towards the insurgents who still
remain under arms. AS the summary
punishment of guerillas cannot be had
until some action has been taken to de-
clare a termination of the application
Of the rules of war. it is said at the
War Department that General Otis has
already issued notice TO the natives,
warning them that if they defy the
rules of war and pursue a predatory
warfare they will be treated as guerilias
when captured.
The President is devoting special at
tention to the formation OF the new
Philippine commission. acting upon
the advice that the army has reached
the end of its functions in the islands,
and that the time is ripe for the estao'
lishment of civil governments through
out the archipelago

The Boston journal, in discussing
the shipping interests of this great
country, brings to public attention
many curious facts, and shows that
we have not been as vigilant in the
past as we should have been in looking
after our shipbuilding. The Journal
asserts that there are not more than
thirty shipyards in the United States
and not more than FIVE of them are suf'
6ciently equipped to turn out vessels
OF over FIVE thousand tons. A COM
psrison of our ship building with that
OF England for the last years, shows
that we are scarcely in the business
at all. The total amount Of shipping
turned out by all the yards in the
United States last year, amounted to
two hundred and eighty-four thou
sand tons, while that of England was
one million seven hundred and sixty.
nine thousand. Thus making Eng
lands shipping per ton over six times
more than ours, while our output in
the manufacture Of iron and steel is
one.third more than that Of Eng.
lands.
The natural inquiry is. why this
difference The Journal answers that
il is found in the fact that our laws
do not give American shipbuilders
the requisite protection and encour'
agement, therefore instead ofiucress-
ing in shipbuilding We are decress-
ing. 1t is claimed that more than 8
hundred years ago our coastwise
traffic from one port to another was
reserved to American built and
American owned ships, and tothis wise
sefssiyAt the shipbuilders are in.
debted to Washington and his cotem-
poraries for every shipyard now in
existence in our country. 1t was this
exclusive privilege Of building for the
coasting trade which kept the ship
yards alive from the close OF the civil
war until the beginning of our steel
war feet in 1888.
. The Journal asserts that the IRE
served coastwise trade has kept our
shipbuilding alive when but for that
aid it would utterly have vanished.
The ocean mail subsidies of 1891,
though small in amount as compared
with foreign subsidies, and insufficient
for their full purpose, have given us
the st. Louis and st. Paul and
superb feet of fast steamships for
West India and Pacific service.
" 1t is q fair, honest and perfect
~ impregnsble conclusion that if We
extend to our whole mel chant marine,
by the passage ofthe Frye bill, the
protection and encouragement which
we now give to part of it, Ameri'
can shipyards will multiply in quick
response to the new demand for
American ships as American factories
have multiplied in response to the
protective tariff"
