FOR TARIFF REVISION
An Active Campaign to Be
Commenced.
PRESIDENTS POSITION
IF TAKEN UP IT MUST BE CAR
RIED THROUGH.
Not Movement Toward Free Trade.
but Step to Preserve the Pro-
tective Principle.
PRESIDENTS POSITION

An active campaign in behalf of tariff re-
vision is to be commenced at the beginning
of the coming session of Congress and ia
to be continued throughout the session by
the advocates of revision. The object OK
the effort will be to arouse sentiment In
the House, and especially in the Senate IN
faVor OF amending some of the alleged uu-
necessarily high tariff schedules and put
ting them on strictly protective basis.
Politicians and newspaper men who ara
familiar with President Roosevelts atti-
tude upon this subject know that the
President would be glad to have Congress,
at as early date practicable enter upon
the work Of revision, provided that thero
can be assurance beforehand of making a
clean job of it.
The Presidents Position.
At the last session the President several
times stated to congressional visitors that
he did not want Congress to take up the
subject Of tariff revision until the way was
clear in both houses to carrying it through.
He was afraid of the effects of a possible
failure to do what the party started out
to do.
In other words, if he should recommend
and majority of the republicans of the
House should concur in the proposition that
1t was wise and necessary to revise the
tariff and then a coterie of ultra-protec-
tionsts in the Senate should succeed IN
frustrating the effort, the republican party
would suffer more than If the attempt had
not been made. That has been the PTasl-
dents argument right along.
He still insists that the work should not
be commenced until all possible obstacles
to its completion have been removed In
plain English that means until the ultra
protectionist senators can be convinced by
the majority sentiment in the Senate It
can be said frankly that the time has not
arrived when 1t seems that tnis can be
done.
Plan of the Campaign.
The campaign from now on will be for
the purpose of convincing the men who are
standing in the way of revision that the
welfare of the republican party in the next
election depends upon something being done
in the way of revision in the meantime.
Pains will be taken to show that this is
not a movement toward free trade. but q
step to preserve the integrity of the pro-
tective principle 1t will be urged that
only the schedules which go beyond the
point of affording protection will be pruned,
and that they will not be pruned till below
the point of protection. 1t will be con-
tended that such action would meet the
popular demand and would prevent moro
radical action later if something was not
done in the near future.

TO RETURN TOMORROW
PRESIDENT TO BE BACK IN THE
MORNING.
Will Go to Philadelphia Saturday and
After That Will Be Occupied
With His Message.

President Roosevelt will return to Wash
ington tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock,
and after breakfast In the White House
with his family, will spend the day in his
office considering a number Of important
things. On Saturday morning at $50
o'clock the President will leave here for
Philadelphia and will spend the day there,
returning to Washington that night. The
object of his trip to Philadelphia will be TO
attend the Founders day banquet Of the
Union League Club. The President will at
tend several other functions during the
day, however. One of these will be the
dedication Of the new Central High School
on Saturday morning. During the after
noon the President will attend a luncheon
in his honor by Charles Emory Smith, for
mer Postmaster General. At the Central
High School ceremonies the President will
deliver the Grafton.
Conferences Expected Next Week.
The President will not go out of town
again unless it is to the Thanksgiving foot
ball game between the Naval Academy and
West Point. He will have enough to do TO
keep his mind going at rapid rate until
his message goes to Congress when that
body assemblies a week from next Monday.
1t is expected that throughout next week
he will have number of important confer
enceS with cabinet officials and congress
men on the most prominent portions of his
message. The expectation is that the trust
question will occupy much space in the
message and that the President will urge
Congress to get to work promptly and take
some action on this question. The outcome
of the Presidents earnestness and activity
for legislation to correct trust evils will
be an effort by leading republicans to unite
upon a measure that can command the
most influence. The chances are that this
measure will be one the draft of which At
torney General Knox is believed to be pre-
pairing. This will embody his views that
the Sherman law may be naended SO as to
be effective in dealing with the trusts. AS
long ago as last spring the President talked
to the Attorney General about his desire
to have something done by Congress, and
at the Presidents request the Attorney
General has given much consideration to
the question of the best way to proceed.
An Administration Measure.
1t is practically certain that a bill TO be
submitted to Congress will carry with it
the administration support and backing, as
we'll as the legal stamp of the ATTORNEY
General, and that it will pass muster in the
Supreme Court of the United States. The
bill will be thrashed over in number of
conferences before it is finally centered
upon. 5.
To avoid the appearance Of anything like
attempting to dictate legislation the repub-
ican leaders Will all be- consulted with be-
tween now and the early part of Congress
as to Mr.. knoXs propositions, and when
all the ideas have been given in and gone
over the bill will be drafted

CHOLERA IN PHILIPPINES.
Officials Believe That the End of the
Epidemic is at Hand.

Mail advices received at the War Depart
ment indicate that during the closing days
Of September the cholera epidemic in the
Philippines reached its lowest stage for
many months. Only seven new cases and
seven deaths from the disease occurred in
Manila on Saturday and Sunday. Septem-
ber "a and 2s. BY the officials in the islands
it is believed that the practical end of the
epidemic is near at hand. While Iloilo con-
tinued to be the plague center. the number
OF cases there and in that vicinity was not
great; and only fifty-five cases were report
ed in the whole island of LuZerne.

The Tenure of the Land.

The State Department does not regard
the objections lodged by Colombia as ma
terial: the Colombians their part think
that they are vital Such for instance is
the difference over the tenure of the United
States in the canal strip. This has been al
luded to before as one easy of adjustment,
but 1t now appears that the Colombans
do not see their way to accepting any of
the compromising propositions on that point
offered by the United States. Prominent
senators who have been consulted by the
State Department have indicated their
strong opposition to the acceptance of a
hundred years lease with provision for
renewal as insufficient to meet the provis-
ions of the Spooner act. Nothing less than
perpetual control as set down in the act
will satisfy them. The Colombans hold
that that would be violation of their con-
stitution. But careful reading of the Co
lombian constitution by the officials here
does not convince them that there is any
such prohibition against alienation of ter
ritory as is represented

CULEBRA MANEUVERS
THEIR PURPOSE OUTLINED BY
ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Situation Will Be Similar to That
When Cervera Sailed for
Cuba in 1898.

Admiral Dewey has made statement in
regard to the projected naval maneuvers
in the Caribbean sea, which are to be con-
Quoted under his direct command.
1.-The maneuvers," said the admiral, will
undoubtedly be of great value to the navy
and the public ought to look on them with
as much interest as do the officers and men
who will participate AS to their scope and
purposes I think Rear Admiral Taylor,
chief Of the bureau of navigation, has stat
ed those very correctly. First and most
important is the assembling or mobilization
of the fleet. To bring together these I'M
portant and Independent. commands and
form a fleet of this magnitude at given
place and a given time will be valuable
experience. To bring this force together,
ready for active service, ready for any
duty it might be called on to perform
with supply ships, colliers, hospital ships
and repair crafts what We are aiming at.
If you get your fleet so provided with the
things essential to war at the right place
and at the right time. then half of the bat
tie is won.
Experience for the Captains.
Second only in Importance to this is the
experience our captains will have In han
ding their ships in large companies This
is not often done and never before has 1t
been attempted on such large scale. Our
commanders are naturally timid about this.
1t is just like driving a team in a crowded
street. such a thing as l noticed over Ill
New York the other day in Broadway. A
man came down driving four-in- hand.
That great thoroughfare was crowded with
vehicles of various kinds. Some OF the
drivers were nervous and lost their heads,
but the driver of the four-in- hand threaded
his way in and out and got out of the jam
without halting and without collision. 1t
is experience which gives confidence,
and that is what we will get during the
maneuvers
Spanish War Problem Repeated.
1.-The search problem, as pointed out by
Admiral Taylor Will put both the defend
ing and the attacking squadrons on their
mettle Admiral Sumner assembling his
ships at Port of Spain, will endeavor to
strike at some point that the other squad
ron is defending. The situation will be
similar to that which prevailed during the
Spanish war, when Cervera was making for
Cuba, only the line in which lodgment can
be found will differ somewhat. The de-
Tending squadron will know the points from
which he may make his selection. This
problem will last five days and will be
more elaborate, because we have more
ships, and will be more valuable, because
the theater of the operation is larger, than
was the search problem which occupied the
North Atlantic squadron last summer
FINALLY, the maneuvers will be of the
greatest benefit to the navy in insuring
uniformity of routine in evolutions at sea,
in work ashore at the naval base in target
practice and in all matters of progressive
instruction.
above all the combined work of the fleet
will be of advantage because it will be
done in the Caribbean sea-

SENATE MAY DECIDE
Several Canal Treaties Likely
to Be Submitted.
EFFECT OF THE DELAY
MINISTER CoREA OF NICARAGUA
AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
Present Deadlock With Colombia Over
the Question Of Tenure of the
Belt Of Land Needed.
EFFECT OF THE DELAY

The check in the negotiations with Co
lombia relative to the Panama canal has
given great encouragement to the friends
of the Nicaraguan project, and the first evil
dence of renewed activity on their part
was the appearance at the State Depart
ment today of Senior Corea, Nicaraguan
nlnister to Washington. Secretary Hay
has never taken the ground that the nego-
tiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
were terminated by the passage of the
Speoner act. On the contrary he has felt
called upon to direct the attention of the
Colombian government at moments when
the negotiations have Jagged unseemly
delay intervened to the fact that under
section of the Spooner act, if he is un-
able to obtain a satisfactory title from the
Panama company and the control of the
ne cessary territory in Colombia by treaty,
then he is required to obtain such terri
tory from Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
May Draw Up Other Treaties.
The present hitch in the Colombian ne
gotiations has. therefore, encouraged the
Nicaraguan contingent, and it is now said
to be probable that to emphasize his re-
peated declaration that the action Of Con-
gress in the passage of the Spooner amend
States to the acceptance of the Panama
route, Secretary Hay may proceed to draw
up a treaty with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
on the lines of the protocols laid before the
Senate at it's last session, and submit 1t
to the Senate at its next session along with
such treaty with Colombia as he may be
able to conclude. In that way the Senate
might itself decide whether or not the Co
lombian treaty is entirely satisfactory, and
If it should decide in the negative then 1t
viii have at hand the Nicaraguan-Costa
Rican treaties that there will be no eX-
cuse for delay in the canal project.
AS for the Colombian negotiations, it can
be stated that the United States has now
gone to the practical end of the concessions
it is willing to make: it has received from
Colombia a memorandum noting a number
OF objections to its proposed draft of the
treaty. Some of these have been admitted
to be well taken, but the great majority
have been regarded as either in contact
with the terms of the Spooner act or mad
n1ssible for other reasons. The Colombia
minister here has been notified of the decis-
ion reached and is expected to make further
reply. either accepting or rejecting our last
prppocitjop
