What Answer Can We Make!

In every true American heart there
will be a sympathetic response to the
appeal addressed to President Roose
welt by the ''Comite Central Filipino
from the representatives of that dis
tressed people at Hong Kong. What
these patriots of the Asiatic archipel-
ago ask of President Roosevelt is ian
adeqate assurance to our people of
some form of national life. - That is
all; but is it not that for which the
American republic stands the cham
pion in this world? And the Filipino
advocates in all sincerity ask: as not
this aspiration both legitimate and
laudable:" And if so, what other
course would you have self-respecting
people adopt: What answer can Presi-
dent Roosevelt make to such an ap-
peal? What answer can the American
people make: That we have bought
the Filipinos from Spain; that they
must give up their national aspirations
because we want their territory. And is
this a sufficient answer? Do not these
Filipinos read us a lesson in the inter
probation of the Declaration Of indie
Post

HAWAII NAVAL ITALIAN.

Washington, May 25.-The naval board having charge of the location of a naval station on Pearl harbor, Ha- waii, has completed it's work. The board adheres to the vie that Pearl is the only harbor in the Hawaiian group capable of complete naval defence. It is only five miles from Honolulu. Much of the surrounding land has been occu- pied for commercial purposes. The board proposes to leave this shore land for commercial purposes, and if possi- ble, to locate the naval station on the large islands lying in the middle of the harbor. The improvement of the harbor contemplates deep water channel across the coal bar at the en- trance, and heavy batteries on each side of the entrance

THE RAILROAD NEXT.
President o'Connell Says He will Re.
 commend Nine Hour Day.

Washington, May 25.-President James O'Connell of the International
 Association of Machinists, announced yesterday that he would recommend to the next convention of machinists in Toronto, beginning on June 3, that. a date be set for nine-hour day with- out reduction in wages on all the rail- roads of the country. On railroads which fail to comply with this demand a strike will be ordered.
 Mir OConnell says that railroad strike would involve probably 100000 men, including 40,O00 machinists, the others being boiler makers, pattern makers and semi-skilled workmen who work with the machinists in the vars- ous shops. The policy will be to en- force the demand by tying up prac- tically the entire mechanical service of the roads. It was simply matter 0f policy, he said, that the railroads were not included in the present strike. AL though number of them now are in- volved none of the roads was origin ally contemplated ill the order declar- ing the present strike. Mir O'Connell says the convention doubtless will fix q date when the nine-hour day must be in operation on all roads, and he be- lieves this date should be some day n the auIuHlu.
 At , o'clock yesterday afternoon MT O'Connell said the outlook of the pres ent strike was gratifying. A report from Memphis announced the signa- ture of six establishments there to the agreement The headquarters of the strike has been shifted from Washing ton to Toronto, for which city Presi- dent O'Connell left here last night. He will stop en route at Pittsburg, Buffa- To and possibly some other city to con- fer with local strike leaders, and will take charge of the Toronto headquar- ters Sunday night.
 The navy department received no- tice yesterday from Harlan & Hol- lingsworth of the pendency of the strike at their establishment, where naval vessels are building. This makes the fifth notice of strikes in yardA doing naval work.

THE ARMY CANTEED.
Conspiracy on Part of Army Officers

Conspiracy on Part of Army Officers
 to Work Public Sentiment.
 Chicago, May 25.-.'If army officers would only present statistics showing the amount of disorder at military posts while the canteen was open, as carefully as they have shown up these disorders since the abolition of the canteen, the reports would lose much of their ilnpressiveness.
 This was the conclusion expressed by Mrs Lillian McStevens, National presi- dent of the Women's Christian Tenn perance union, who has returned to Evanston after tour through the south. sThere is great deal of evi- dence," she continued, s'that there is conspiracy on the part of some army officers to work up public sentiment in favor of the reinstatement of the can teet. l do not say that all officers are interested in this movement, but there are good many of them and some hold high rank
 'The Women's Christian Temper ance union has made inyestigation at several army posts and is thoroughly satisfied with the results of the aboli- tfon of the canteen. We believe that drunkenness in the army has been de- creased since the canteen was done away with, and that its abolition has tended toward the higher morality of the soldiers

I SCAB, BUT NOT \ COWARD

 Chased by the Crowd.

Made a Statement to a Democrat Re
 porter This Morning-Say He Will
 Return to Work When Ordered by
 His Superiors-Scofield Also Makes
 a Statement-Says He is Not a
 Striker-Told Union Men He Would
 Not Join Them.
 George Delevieleuse of Washington avenue, who figured prominently i'll what is called the first outbreak of the local strikers, takes exception to some of the statements which have been made concerning the treatment which he was accorded on his depar- ttlre from work at the Farrel foundry on Thursday noon. On request q Democrat reporter saw MT Delevie leuse to-day at his home. After friend ly greetings the machinist stated: II have q serious subject to talk about. may ,be a scab, but 1 am no coward. l did not run. The history of the trouble is as follows: Wednesday, night F. +. Bannon, assistant superin- tendent of the Farrel foundry, called at my house and said that he had woro from Superintendent Lamb that he wanted me to return to work the next morning. However. I did not return the next morning, but on Thursday morning. On walking home to dinner at noon time three men, striking ma chinists, met me in front of the Ring shop. They said they would let me off easily this time. but that I would fare worse if I continued to work They called me scab. 1 defied them. l went as far as the Brooklyn bridge There met another crowd. They be- gan yelling and hooting at me, calling me q scab. etc. When I reached the Italian fruit store just above Riverside street another crowd was there. and they joined in jeering at me. Their hoots did not make me afraid. When came to the corner of James and Bank streets there was another crowd and they added themselves to the jeer- ing crowd. At Mitchell's meat market met some more strikers who jeered at me. A few minutes afterwards I reached home. I am no coward and didn't run. 1 was not afraid of the crowd. I have lived in Brooklyn for twentythree years and I have worked in the foundry twenty-four years I am a citizen and everybody in Brook lyn knows that I am not bad one. 1 would not say anything except for the fact that some people wish the public to have the opinion that I am a cow ard. 1 have no hard feelings against my fellow workmen ''
