MAY UNITE LIBERALS.
Rosebery's Speech Believed to Have
Paved the Way for Ending the
Division.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-These are stir
ring times in the evolution of Brit
ish libralism. Now that Lord Rose
berry has made what perhaps is the
greatest speech since the days of
Gladstone, the country transfers Its
anticipations to the forthcoming ad-
dress by Sir Henry Campbell-Banner
man at London on January 49, 1t is
felt that the liberal leader whose re-
cent campaign stump ali but recon
structed his shattered party. holds
the key to the liberal situation. II
he decides to sponge out the liberal
differences between himself and Lord
Rosebery and marshal his great host
under the earl's banner, it is believ-
ed that England will witness quick
naturalization of the strongest op-
position Westminster has known for
sixteen years.
Although Lord Rosebery's Chester
field policy parallels that of the gov
ernment in few respects and
clashes Herewith with many, it sup
plies what a large number of polite
ians regard as a broad. clear plat
form for the liberals. Those who
seek unified opposition point out
that the differences between Lord
Rosebery and Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman are wholly differences in
methods, and not in principles. 1t
is said that the Chesterfield speech
breathes a spirit of liberalism from
beginning to end, and stamps the ex-
premier as one OF the most thorough
ly democratic statesmen.
Lord Rosebery's scheme for the re-
habilitation of South Africa is gener-
ally recognized as the most in viting
peace programme yet promulgated.
1t is thought to run far ahead of the
resolution recently adopted by the
Derby National Liberal Federation
1t contains no mention of crown col
ony government, of which the Beers
stand in special horror. Lord Rose
berry hoists the flag of Imperialism so
high, because he holds this the first
requisite for securing the confidence
of the nation and thereby an oppor-
tunity to apply liberal ideas to do
nestle reforms absolutely necessary
in British greatness. Many Ameri-
cans imagine they recognize in Lord
Rosebery's loud call for efficiency a
reflex of Rosevelt's doctrine of siren
uous life

REPORT OF
COMMISSION

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-The re-
Srort of the Unired States Philippines
commission to the secretary of war,
so far as it relates to the mipes of
the Archipelago and the Philippine
Gonstabulary was made public today
vt says that the limitations of hin
ing operations have been extremely
strict, but under the new order of
things 1t is now possible to develop
the mineral resources of the PhAlip.
pine islands. and that this be done is
strongly urged.
There is unquestionably enormous
valuable deposits of gold. copper. coal
and iron. and the future of the corn-
try in this respect is very bright
Fundamentally however, says the
report, the islands are an agricultural
country, and while the methods of cul-
tivation at the present are of the
crudest, there is a rich harvest and !;
possibilities OF the islands are vast.
especially for the growth of sugar
cane and other similar crops
The report says the climate is fine.
What disease there is at present rs
in a great measure terminated by rats
against which war of determination
has been inaugurated. There is no
smallpox in the islands, but there is
considerable consumption prevailing,
especially among the very poor ma
tives. Personal uncleanliness has
caused considerable leprousy. some
estimating that there are 10000 cases
of that disease In the islands.
The commission believes thoroughly
in the native troops as constabu-
larry. 1t thinks they can maintain
order better than American soldiers.
It also shows the undesirability of
maintaining large army of Ameri-
cans in the islands. the Americans be-
ing unacquainted with the language
and the hibits of the people. and
therefore at disadvantage in main
tanning peace among the natives.

ERE responsible for the assaults upon

need of a vindication, he certainly has

paid him by Admiral Dewey in the
latter's minority report. Admiral

FRENCH LICK, Ind, Dec. 2l.-ln
response to question Richard Crok-
er declared that he would remain at
the head of Tammany Hall and would
not go to England to live. and that
while not talking politics now. he
would continue to take an interest in
state and national affairs. Asked
what he thought of the outlook for
the Democratic party, he replied:
81 believe the trusts will be the
salvation of the Democratic party
The party is against trusts and al
ways will be, while the Republicans
are not in earnest in their opposition
to them. This will work to the good
of the toilers and the common people.
who make up the Democratic party.
If the trusts continue they will GER
tainly ruin this country
What do you think the Democrat
ic party ought to do to get together
and present a solid front to the en-
emy?"
Get together? The party will
drift together naturally"

HARD TIMES HIT CHRISTMAS.
one-third Less Than Usual Spent for
Gifts In Germany.

BERLIN, Dec. 21.-The most con-
servative estimates places Germany's
Christmas spendings at one-third less
than a year ago, as a result of the
economic crisis. This decrease, how
ever. is said to be accompanied only
by a reduction in value, indications
showing that there will be no dimin-
ution in volume. Merchants declare
that this is conclusive evidence that
the hard times have affected both the
masses and the classes, all of whom,
while intent upon perpetuating the
traditional splendor of the German
holiday season. have found it neces-
sary to indulge themselves on con
siderably cheaper basis.
