Great Induccments for Investment.
Cincinnati o., Nov. 2s.--A private
letter has been received here from Judge
Taft, president Of the Philippine COM

sources aud needs Of those islands The
letter in part is as follows:

cate that In the campaign strong point
is being made against the present policy
Of the administration by dwelling on
the expense which these islands are
likely to be TO the government and the
very small return which the people are
likely to get out of them. With the is-
lands completely pacified they are far
and away the best possessions in the
Orient for purposes of trade and devel-
opment. Their climate is better than
| the climate of any tropical country 1
know Of; their capacity for agricultur-
| al, mineral and commercial development
| would seem to be unlimited. Even with
the unsettled condition of the country
| the tonnage of vesrels coming into the
1 harbor is double what II ever was in
/ Spanish tines. The same thing is true
of inter-islard tonnage. With the con-
struction Of roads and railroads the OPP
! portunities for development can not be
exaggerated. The people here are peo-
1 pie who take to the luxuries OF life, en-
| Joy good clothes and comforts: the mar
kets among them for cotton goods. can
ned goods, -four, petroleum, comforts
land machinery can be Increased in a
wonderfully short time. One OF the
things needed is the introduction OF
American business methods. The estab-
iishment of cne or more large American
esta blishments. wholesale and retail,
carrying into the business the same
methods that prevail at home. would do
wonders for the business, standards OF

show that the belief is justified that the

in favor of annexation to the United

Denmark hasin holding them is to graf

The merchants, and property holders
in this city sssnte think that the pur-
chase of the islands would tend to re-

great naval station must be located in
this section by the United States in the

In discussion Of the Chinese affairs

discussion OF the last phases of the Chi

at every point of the policy of Secretary
Hay, and especially OF the last instruc-
tions to Minister COngsr, which We're
forwarded just week ago. While
Minister Conser has full plenipotentsary

that 30 far he has not signed any pro-

our state department to Mr.. Conger It.

necessarily call for a formal response

suit will be such an exchange OF views
as has taken place verbally at Berlin
between our ambassador and the Ger

expected that several days Will be con-
