Boats VIII Run.

It is expected that boats will be able
to pass through the locks of the gov
ernment dam that is being constructed
at Meeker island, next summer. The
east side of the dam is rapidly nearing
completion, and the lower and upper
locks will be put in place before cold
weather interferes.
Preliminary work has been COM
menced on second Golfer dam, which
is about 100 yards from the west shore,
and next season this will be the prin-
cipal scene of activity. From the
outer wall of the lock there will be
built dam, which will have an apron,
over which the water will run. This
dam will be 100 feet wide, made of
criss-cross sections, into which loose
rocks will be placed. Over this will
be the apron. 1t is estimated that d
foot Of water will be kept running g
over this continually.

FIGHT FOR EXPANSION.
f'orto Rican Debate in Congress This
Week Is Regarded as Of Sig
nificance

washington, Feb. 19.-Both sides
accept the debate on the Porto Rican
government bill in the house this
week as the beginning of great bat
Tie to determine the right and power
OF the United States to maintain
colonies. Administration leaders ex-
PLAIN that the insistence upon Porto
hlcan tariffs is due, not to any fear
OF the competition of that small is
land, but to the fact that if Porto
Rlco were admitted to be a part of
the nation, entitled to share its con
stltutlonal guarantees, the same priv
llege, or right, must be accorded to
the philippines. It is represented that
the president, with the majority of
the leaders of his party, holds that all
the newly-acquired islands are the
property of the United States, and
that congress has undoubted power to
leglslate for them. The democratic
attitude is that if Porto Rico is to re-
main an American possession it must
be as an integral part of the United
States, and in such case the tariff
duties for the island must be exactly
the same as those governing this
country. Decisions of the supreme
court are quoted by each side in sup
port OF these conflicting contentious.

existence of secret Polish league

hundreds of others under surveillance,
The two men now held are in close

their identity. The documents seized
not only show how long a time this
vicious secret agitation has been in
progress, but they clearly prove that
the conspirators were organizing a
great simultaneous rebellion against
the three empires that shared in the
partition of Poland. The high gov
eminent authorizes in Vienna attach
great Importance to the discovery.

PLEA FOR SHIP CANAL.
Hepburn Bill Reported by the
COmmittee-Its COnstruc-
ton Urged.

Washington, Feb. 10. - Chairman
Hepburn, of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, has
submitted the report of the commit
tee in favor of the Hepburn bill for
constructing the Nicaragua canal.
The report details at length the adj
vantages that would accrue to the
United States by the building of the
waterway and then takes up the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. This conven-
ton is held to be voided and consid-
cred a dead letter from the date of
signing to the present day. The con-
tention is made that Great Britain by
securing control of the Suez canal Sc
cured a short route to the east, thus
violating the agreement made with
the United States.

British officials in South Africa. If
am called upon, I am prepared at any
time to testify to them and furnish evil
dence of their truthfulness." Mr.. Mac
rum is evidently delighted over the eff
feet of his statement made public last
week. The ex-consul says he is not 60
ing to Washington on any special mis-
sion, but wants to be on the ground to
give his testimony should it be needed.

COLONIAL POLICY.
An interviewer Gives Whist Purports
to Be the Views of Presi-
dent Mckinley.

New York. Feb. ia morning pa
per on Sunday published summary
of long statement made by Presi-
dent Mckinley to Henry LOOMS Mel
son as to the American policy toward
the newly-acquired islands The ar
ticle is vouched for as an authorita-
tive Interpretation of the presidents
views. Among other things Mr.. Mel
son says:
1T is Mr.. McKinley's belief and 1t will
be his purpose to carry the belief into
operation. that the constitution does not
apply to any Of our new islands; that
those people are not fit for self-government
beyond that proposed for Hawaii; that
our new possessions must not be permitted
to 1nJure any Of our protected interests,
and that free trade with Porto Rico IS
right, because our protected interests will
not be injured thereby
The president believes-and this is the
most important statement that can posi-
oily De made touching his present beliefs
tnat congress has plenary power over Ha-
wan, Porto Rico and the Philippines. He
no.os that congress must pass one tariff
law for Porto Rico, another for Hawaii,
another for the Philippines, and that all
may be different from that of the United
States. ..
Mr.. McKinley's attitude toward the
natives is benevolent. He desires to ele-
vate them, to educate them, and he hopes
tnat IN the end they will become worthy
OF being intrusted with local self-govern-
ment. He does not think any of these
natives are worthy now, except the few
IN Hawaii upon whom it is intended to
DestoW the suffrage-a few more than pos
sessed the suffrage under the Dole gov
eminent
ne main purpose of the president is to
zeal with the islands as markets for Amer
lean products and as the subjects of COM
merclal exploitation generally.
He looks forward to benefiting the ma
tives by expanding the blessings of Protes-
tant Christianity and civilization by means
of commerce
1T is important to digress a moment,
says Mr.. Nelson, for the purpose of saying
ehat the president is largely under the
influence Of certain clergymen, one OF
whom considers that he is the chosen
champion Of Professionalism in its imagi-
nary war with Romanism and this &C.
counts IN large measure for his convic-
ton that in spreading Christianity and CIV
MIA ton among the heather he is gaining
and Keeping the approval Of good Ameri-
cans. Mr., Mckinley is a loyal Methodist
and is naturally stirred and moved by
the enthusiasm and spirit of that impor-
tant denomination.
One thing is settled definitely In respect
or the Philippines. The open door is not
to be applied to them. The republican
party will not consent to give to the Ash
attic world an opportunity to land its goods
IN the Philippines free of duty, to enjoy
whatever modified tariff there may be es-
taollshed between the Philippines and this
country.
The protected interests are not to be
injured bV the Of
tory. Mr.. Mckinley did not favor free
trade with Porto Rico until he was sat it's
ned that no harm would come to any
American interests"
