PRESIDENT WILSON'S COMMENTATOR OF
THE COURSE OF THE ADMINISTRATION


Lexington. Va. Sept. 3.-EX- Postmaster-Ge
eral William l.. Wilson, president of Washing
ton and Lee University. speaking to-day of the
Chinese question. said that for our management
of the sudden Chinese crisis up to the present
time there could be no criticism but r,uch COM
mendation; that the United States alone of the
many Powers obliged to participate, free
from suspicion of selishness and mercenary
designs, and that sound Judgment and openness
marked our diplomatic procedure. There were
yet many questions of delicacy and marked diff
ficulty to be dealt with while securing guaran-
tees against similar occurrences in the future. AS
to territorial possessions under no circum-
stances, in his opinion, should we accept them,
but should moral influence against the
European Powers endeavorng to extend their
spheres of influence" When peace re-
stored, Secretary Hays open door, plan. which
all the European Powers and Japan have as
sented to, would give opportunities for com
merce in the East unheard of before.

Ii Hung Chang in the past on questions OF Chl-

CHANGING HAWAII.

Today Hawaii passes out of the
political stage of transition and to-
morrow it becomes one of the indissol-
uble union of States and Territories
Some things that have proved good for
us In the past have been lost; more
things that will be good for us in fu-
ture are being gained. Commercially
speaking the outlook is all that could
be wished for by the most ardent friend
OF Hawaii. Our sugar can never be
removed from the American free list,
We are assured. of the cable and of a
naval station at Pearl Harbor. Capital
unless driven away by some unfor-
tunate renaissance of fanatical politics,
will flow hither in a steady and food
ing stream. Real estate. subject to the
same conditions, promises great re-
turns to investment. We look TO see
Honolulu and Hilo in a few years time
as populous, respectively, as Los An
geles and San Diego. The opening of
public lands means that thrifty white
settlers will multiply. Old Hawaii will
vanish with much of it's picturesque
ness and charm of primitive racial GUS
toms; new Hawaii will come with the
intense activities that mark the Amer
lean commercial spirit The passwords
for the day will be Hail and Farewell.
