and carefully prepared speech was deliv
cred in the Senate to-day on the Philip.
pine bill by Mr.. Dubois, Of Idaho. lie
confined himself entirely to a discussion
of the commercial and industrial aspects
of the Philippines, his purpose being to
show that it would be a. disadvantage to
the people Of this country to retain the
islands. This Governments activity IN
the Philippines also would serve to arouse
China from her lethargy, and, once
aroused, the Dragon would devour the
trade of the world.
Mr. Dubois reviewed at length the ag-
ricultural resources of Japan and China
with a view to showing that, with their.
advantages of cheap labor. they would be
able to control the markets of the Orient,
including the Philippines.
Mr.. Dubois contended that little advan-
tage in holding the Philippines would ac-
crue to the people Of the United States
except possibly to the capitalists who
would go into the island,
BEvERIDGE REPLIED.
An earnest and forcible reply to Mr..
Dubois was made by Mr.. Beveridge. Of
Indiana, who contended that the deyel-
opment of China's resources would be OF
advantage in trade and commerce to the
United States, as the industrial develop
ment of other nations had been.
The argument of Mr.. Dubois, he In
sisted, was refuted by all the facts. s
it had been demonstrated that our ex-
ports had increased most rapidly to those
countries In which international develsp-
ment was increasing, as thereby the peo-
pie of those countries were better able
to purchase from the United States. This
certainly would be as true of China. as
it had been of other nations. AS the
country was developed the wants Of the
people would increase and so would our
opportunity to supply these wants.
The Philippines, he maintained, were
door to the Chinese trade.

worlds of good. There has been much
tobacco planted. and indications point
towards good crop. TIE oat and wheat

former is a failure.

the interest of Rockbridge county, rela-
tive to the $445,OOO of stock held of
the Valley Railroad line between Harri-
sonburg and Lexington. and of which
Baltimore city holds 100000 Of stock.
The conferences with members of the City
Council, many Of whom were surprised
to learn that sllch an amount was held
by RockbridGe,3 and only knew OF the
amount held by their city, were most
cordial and the idea suggested by HIM
that the city cooperate with Rockbridge
relative to the stock met with appro-
val.
Tho apparent idea uppermosts In the
minds of the Baltimore City Council was
to push the movement of finding out
what their stock was worth and If pos
sible negotiate q, sale.
If the City Council will cooperate
with Rockbridge county relative to sale
Of their stock, control of the road can
be obtained as the two combined hold
a majority Of the stock.
a LEASE.
a lease might be obtained which would
at least prevent the piling up of an an

The Southern can, however, become own

with two other roads, the Chesapeake and
Ohio ut Stanton and the Chesapeake
