BISHOP FOWLER ON EXPANSION.
Churchman Says 1t is Republican Doc
trine and Democratic Practice.

trine and Democratic Practice.
Last evening the Right Rev. Bishop Fow-
Ter of Buffalo, N. Y, spoke to great as
semblage in the auditorium in Chicago I'M
der the auspices of the Marquette Club on
Lincoln and Mckinley" The bishop spoke
for two hours, holding the close attention
of his hearers. At times the applause was
tremendous Taking up the subject of ex-
pansion, he said in part:
LAS believer in American history l am
an expansionist 1t is republican doctrine
and democratic practice Expansion is the
law of Saxon life. When he accepted indiv-
ual accountability directly to God, without
the Intervention of any man, then God gave
him self-reliance and sent him about the
job of subduing and saving the world and
he is out and at ii. The effort to sweep back
the tide of the ocean is more certain to win
than the men who stake their success fight
Ing expansion, for they fighting not
merely Mckinley and the Rough Rider and
the American people, but they are also
fighting the resistless force running through
all ages of nature, the force of natural Sc
lection. and they are also fighting Gods
eternal purpose to elevate the races.
Expansion is in our blood in our his
tory. in our religion. 1t is our destiny. To
call expansion Imperialism is either foolish
or inSincere, or both"

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. ie Adyices
from Yokohama TO January 2i are as fol-
lows:
The coming naval maneuvers of the
Japanese fleet are attracting great inter-
est The display of Japan's increased
naval power. which will make a most inn
posing spectacle will undoubtedly tend 10
increase the war spirit of the nation.
Much interest is taken in the enormous
increase OF late In the emigration 10 the
Hawaiian islands More than l0oo con-
tract laborers and $500 free emigrants
have left. between May and December of
last year. This large increase liz said to
have resulted from the laxity with which
the immigration laws have been adminis-
tered by the Hawaiian authorities. 1t is
probable that, owing TO reports OF trouble
given 10 Honolulu by the large number
of Japanese loafers something will be
done to check the tide OF immigration.
The news OF the court intrigues In China
excite the lveliesi interest The relations
between the Japanese government and the
empress dowager remain undoubtedly OF
an intimate character, and something OF
the nature Of an accord OF the two gov
ernments causes all movements among
the celestials 10 be regarded with tho
liveliest concern.

AUSTRALIAN BALLOT LAW.
Maine supreme Court Makes an linz
portmnt Railing.

Special Dispatch to the Post-lnteiligencer.
WASHINGTON. Feb I6.--A recent de-
cision OF the supreme court of Maine viii
apply to all states having the Australian
ballot law. The Maine court held that
under i,s ballot system. which is the Aus
tralian, presidential electors are state Off
GERS and that. therefore. they should be
selected by the large constituency repre-
sented in a convention composed of dele
gates from the whole Of the state. not by
the delegates representing the smaller
constituency % congressional district
Heretofore presidential electors have becn
nominated BY the congressional oonven-
tions. Their names then have been paced
upon the general state ticket. but IN their
selection only the constituency OF each
congressional district has taken a hand.
This matter has been brought 90 the at
tention Of the Republican national com
mltsee by Joseph H. Msniey. ef Maine. by
whom ii was suggested that. in order
to obviate the possibility os any trouble
later, all Of the states would best con-
form 10 the Maine decision
Chairman Hanna and Secretary Dick. OF
the committee. believe {, VIII be sufficient
II the states merely raafy the selection
BY congressional district conventions. and
they vail 80 instruct the national BepgbGi-
can committeeman in each state.
Senator's and members have discussed
pretty generally the question % ratifyinx
the nominations of presidential electors
az state conventions. and II has been de-.
cided thai this furnishes one a the chief
reasons why congressional conventions
should be held early this year.
The notification Ein be sent 10 the Re-
publican committeeman In each state at
once. with A yisw of having state central
committees, in their call for state conven-
tions. provide for the ratification of the
names Of candidates Tor presidential elec-
tors The decision os the Maine supreme
court does not apply solely TO the RepBh-
hcau party. of course, aud it Is probable
therefore. that the Democratic national
