NO ALLIANCE WITH
GREAT BRITAIN.
Senators Oppose the Hay-Paurce-
tote Treaty as Now Signed.
WILL INSIST ON A CHANGE.
Must be a Provision Which Bars Out
Offensive and defensive Alliance
Win Britain.

New York, Feb. GA special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says:
At hurriedly called meeting OF var
lous senators tonight Monday) 1t was
determined to oppose the ratification Of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty as It applies
to the Nicarasuan canal, which was
abrogated on Saturday. The leaders in
the opposition are Senators Platt and
Hawley Of Connecticut Mason, Of H..
hnois, and several others.
The treaty Is regarded, In effect, by
some Of the most conservative senators
on both sides, as an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with Great Britain;
that 1t closely associates the two coun-
tries IN the control of q purely Ameri.
can project. that under its provisions
the United states abandons the right TO
defend It's own property In return for
the promise Of assistance from Great
Britain whenever assistance for the
maintenance of the canals neutrality
shall be required.
Instead of the treaty being ratified
promptly the opposition to its ac-
ceptance in the present form viii in
sist upon its being referred to the COM
mlttee on foreign relations for revision
and for the instruction to insert the
following
The contracting parties further en-
gage that when the canal shall have
been completed the government OF the
United States shall have the right, in
case the United States is at war with
any nation, to take temporary possess
sion Of, defend and fortify the canal
and IS approaches without prejudice 70
the commercial rights OF any other ma
tion guaranteed by the neutrality OF
the canal"
There seems 10 be no doubt that the
treaty In its present shape cannot get
through the Senate.

Commons today, replying TO a question,
the secretar! OF state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, admitted that a
critical stage Of the war had been

cure peace and TO do nothing to endan-
ger II.
sir. Chamberlain further declared
that the war was Just, necessary and
righteous. He regretted the proposed
amendment TO the address, because he
said, II would throw doubt upon the
unitedness Of the Kingdom.

Chamberlain, and have made mis-

WHEEZER'S Plan.

Gen Joe Wheeler, who has just
from the Philippe es,
writes the following in an article to
Leslie's Weekly. The article is
headed ssWhat to do with the Philip
pines:"
in the Philippine, is broken, and there will
be little more to do in military way.
There will be some guerrilla warfare, but it
will not amount to much. AS for Aguin-
aldo, do not consider him patriot. He
was fighting for great prizes had he won.
he would have been a powerful emperor, a
mighty dictator.
Gas far as possible, I believe that we
should establish civil government in the
Philippines. am in favor of territorial
government and nothing incongruous
in making these various islands into terri
tories. The group should be divided into
three or four territories, not only because of
the extent of the islands, but because of the
antagonism existing between the different
peoples. Some of these tribes have been
our devoted friends, and it would be most
unfair not to give the right of self-govern-
ment. Many of them are already fit for
self government in local affairs, and under
territorial governors appointed by us they
would get along very well, am sure.
81 consider the Fillipinos very superlo,
people, people with great possibilities
rhey are ambitious; many of them have beer
finely educated in Europe; they are not te
be spoken of in the same breath with the
| Africans, SO far their possibilities go.
ssThey are, too, easily governed. and with
| the fair treatment which they will receive
from us, we shah have no trouble with them

but they are sensitive and are unwilling t.
be treated as interiors. They ittl

ands, especially to those Filipinos who hav

sorts of prosecutions and many of then
would meet death, all on account of thei

If would be difficult to say who
made the frs, iron pillow; in Scotch
land a contemporary says the in
ventor was humble Scotch black
smith named William Allan. His
modesty was SO great that after he
b d made this first pillow, and it did
satisfactory work on his own farm,
he declined to make second for
neighborng gentlemen on the plea
that he was not as good black
smith as the gentlemen ought TO
have and recommend a nelghbor OF
his, named Gray. The latter be-
came rich at the business, while
Allan remained as poor as ever

The Rayne Tribune puts 1t in
these words: :When two men are
playing poker and one lends the
other money to continne the game,
the man who lends his money has to
trust the others honesty and honor,
because he cannot collect gamb-
ling debt by law; hence it is called
a debt of honor, and the man who
fails to pay such debts is properly
degraded in the eyes of all men.
1t is the same way in a primary
election. A man can't be Coma
PEELED by law to abide by the
primaries, hence his honor IS at
stake and the man who goes back
on a primary fairly conducted, will
cheat at cards.

The Broussard meeting seals the
fate of our friends, the boilers.
The manly speech of young Gilbert
ST. Julien and the action of that
true and tried Democrat, Mr.. ]. O..
Broussard, who presided over the
meeting, have served to sound the
death knell of the combine. Messrs.
ST. Julien and Broussard made their
fight before the primaries and were
defeated. AS consistent Democrats
and men who do not want to violate
a pledge they give their unqualified
support to the ticket nominated by
the primaries. The Gazette had
refused to believe the report that
Democrats like Gilbert ST. Julien
and Omer Broussard would join the
enemies of the Democracy in a
movement to disrupt and destroy
the party. If Democrat has any
grievances he should make his 6gh,
within the lines, but not do like
Don Caffery and others who have
gone boots and body to the enemy
because they do not like certain
methods employed by some of the
! leaders of their party.

The plague has made its appear

Every man who voted at the pri
mary is under a moral obligation to
abide by the decision of the ma
iority. The man who argues tina,
there is no way to hold him to it,
can be likened to the fellow who
makes the plea of prescription to
escape the payment of a honest
debt. The voter who cast his ballot
at the primary election, entered
into an agreement to accept the
verdict of the majority. With the
man of honor this agreement shoulc
be as binding as notarial act.
