Spain's Open Door.

Spain already has, for the next ten years, an

countries ship into the Philippines without
limitation and from there here without restric-
tion duty q any kind, except only such as
VIC have power TO impose what comes from
the Philippines here in our own commerce with
those islands, and that would mean free entry
for Spain into the whole unted States and for
all others who might make out Of Spain and
the Philippines an open door. On this point
lnere is no speculation, but only serious reality.

Foraker said:
But an open door TO China means an open door
to the Philippines or a mean and niggardy re.
fusal to grant what we have so generously dc.
manded and so gloriously secured; and an open
door TO the Philippines means that the ships and
merchandise OF other countries shall enter the
ports Of those islands upon the same terms and
conditions that our ships and merchandise enter
them. II the Philippines are part Of the United
States, and the constitution is already In full

because the flag is there; and, IL on this ac.
count, we cannot levy a tariff duty on our mer-
chandise going into the Philippines, then, OF
necessity, it must go in free Of duty, then,
everybody else who is TO share the open door
policy with us will also, Of right, enter free OF

they are already within the United States, on
the theory that they are a part of the United
States instead of a mere possession belonging to
the United States, then, indeed, are we undone.
for in such case, it must follow that no tariff
duties can be levied on articles coming from
there here, even for the purpose Of revenue;
and thus an open door to the hl.ppines would
prove an open door for the whole world to the
| whole United States.

STRIKERS ARE VIOLENT.
Ex- Employees of the Butler Coal Com
pany Interfere with Workmen.
,ccial to the Scranton Tribune

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, April 22-The striking en-
plOyes of the Butler Coal company at
the Fernwood colliery, near Yatesville,
are becoming trifle violent in their
efforts to keep the colliery idle. The
strike has been on for several months.
but last week the company made an
effort to ersume operations with their
non-union employees, who had refused
to go on strike. For a few days the
colliery worked shorthanded. On Fri
day morning, however, the strikers at
tempted to stop the non-union men
from going to work, and by flourishing
clubs and revolvers compelled a num-
Der to return to their homes. Yester-
day morning again the strikers met
the workmen and with clubs in their
hands drove the men back, throwing
the colliery idle for the day.
On Friday two of the striking Ital-
ians, Guiden Fennertine and Gemord
Domino, were arrested on warrant
sworn out by Martin Kearney, charg-
ing them with surety of the peace and
carrying concealed weapons. They were
given a hearing before Alderman Bar
rett, and when searched by the police

revolver with four loaded and three
empty cartridges were found on the
person of Fennertine, also a razor and
a large pocket-knife. On Domino were
found a razor and knife with a blade
four inches long, such as are used by
shoemakers. The men were released on
81 900 bail. Other warrants have been
sworn out and more arrests will likely
follow.
A meeting of the striking workmen
was held this afternoon in Granahan's
hall, Cork Lane, and committee will
meet with the mine officials tomorrow.
