The Philippine Problem.
Cbnant in the Atlantic.

Charles A. Conant in the Atlantic.
The benefit Of the Philippines, and Of
nearly all colonial establishments is the
degree to which they offer openings for the
enterprises and capital Of the nation. Let
a single great colonial market, like Hong
Kong or British India, be closed to British
goods, and the effect would reach back
from Bradford and Lancashire, with their
idle and starving factory hands, to every
agriculturist in the British empire, and
from them to the wheat farms and cotton
fields of America. That the necessity for
such openings is recognized by the states
men of all countries is shown by the eager
ness with which Germany Is fighting for
colonial footings in such barren and un-
promising soil as German East Africa, UNI
der the burning sun Of the equator; by the
heavy expenditures assumed with SO much
lightness of heart by Belgium in the Con-
go; and even by the heavy sacrifices made
by impoverished Italy in Eretria and the
heart Of Abyssinia. If the need is less OBJ
vious at the present moment for these
openings for the people and resources Of
the United States, it needs but little re-
Election upon the great output of our mills
and factories to show how soon this need
must become imperative. Even If the Phil
for a time, the United States would be
peculiarly fortunate-while France, Ger
many, Belgium and Italy have been con-
tending for quarter of a century for the
most desolate and unpromising quarters OF
the earth-in having wrested from Spain
one of the most fertile and promising do
mains of the Pacific.

ANY ONE CAN

good straightforward test Of food Is worth
much to humanity. The following is interesting:
Mr.. T. X. Durboraw of Greenfield o. saws:
After 3 months sickness with grip I found I
had lost AZ pounds. with little appetite and almost
no digestion Wife finally put me on Grape Nuts
and actually lived on this food, taking it three
times day, and a cup Of Postum Coffee ut each
meal for about four weeks
when began l was 50 nervous and weak that
my strength was exhausted even by dressing, and
OF course, l was unable to do the work loaded
upon my desk, but hammered away without any
tonics or medicines only my diet Of Grape-Nuts
and Postum three times day. l found at the
end of % days my nervousness gone, strength
greatly increased and that had gained 16 pounds
FINALLY. after getting back to good health again
I, Of course, took on different kinds Of food and,
as a change, began using for breakfast.
After while some peculiar spells began to appear
in the morning with deathly sickness and nervous
lassitude. l took treatment for biliOusness. but
that did not avail.
About a month ago gave up the - for
breakfast and took Grapc-Nuts again. These
+. morning attacks left me entirely in a day two
and feel that i have had sufficient evidence Of
the scientific value Of Grape-Nnts as vitalizing.

Oil as q Marine Fuel.

From the New York Times.
There Is now in dock at Thames Haven
a steamer which has just completed the
longest voyage on record under steam gen.
Grated by the combustion Of crude Pc
troleum. 1t is the Murex Of the Shell line,
built about ten years ago for coal. but
changed last fall for oil. She left Singa-
pore December 1S. and reached Cape Town
January IL. From that port she cleared
January Is and reached the Thames in
about thirty days.
Taking the voyage throughout. the con-
sumption of oil, which on account of heavy
weather somewhat exceeded the expecta-
tion ranged from II to 1871 tons per day.
Had she been burning coal the requirement
of Welsh would have been about 70 tons
per day. and of japanese or other inferior
steam fuel about SO tons Making allow
ance for differences in price. this compare
son would show saving in fuel cost great
enough to engage attention, but not exactly
revolutionary. Much more significant, 1t
would appear are the economies In cargo
carrying capacity and labor. The crude pc
tro,eum is stored In the forepeak. In the
double bottom OF the steamer, and In other
places which could not very well be utilized
for coal. The whole central area Of the
ship, inclosed fore and aft by copper-pro-
Getting dams, is available for oil. grain or
other freight in bulk, or for mixed cargo.
AS the oil Is moved through pipes by
pumps. the Murex made the voyage with
three stokers, instead Of the twenty-four
which would have been needed to handle
coal out OF the bunkers into the furnaces.

DEFENDANTS FILE ANSWER.
Contest Over Title to Valuable Realty
in District,

Annie NJ. Handy, Bette Handy and Eliz-
abeth Handy Gale, defendants, filed their
answer. today, in the case of Annie T.
Parrot and others against Elizabeth
Campbell and others, which was instituted
some weeks ago in the equity court for the
purpose of establishing the proper title to
sublots u. 13 and IA, in square 121, which
are located on H street northwest, within
a few feet Of the corner Of 18th street. The
defendants. in their answer, say that two
of them are residents Of the state of Mary
land, and the other Of the city Of ST. Paul,
MINI. They declare that they are all the
heirs-at-law now surviving Of the late John
c. Wilson, jr., who. by the pleadings in the
case, is shown to have had at the time OF
his death the fee simple title to the prop
erty involved. 1t is denied that the COM
plainants are the owners Of the property
referred to, or that they have any right in
the same, as it Is claimed that John c.
Wilson, jr.. died 1nteState, In 1872 upon
which all his rights and property descend
ed to his heirs, the survivors of whom are
the defendants.
1t is averred that the complainants have
no right of ownership by reason Of ad-
verse possession, and the tax sales upon
which they say complainants claim color OF
title, are charged to be subject to many ir-
regulartfes and defects.
al
his death, John c. Wilson, jr., left in addi-
ton to his heirs-at-law, brother, H. =. c.
Wilson, who, it is claimed was a resident
Of the city of Washington and guardian
OF some of the minor heirs-at-law Of his
brother 1t Is charged that one Of the
deeds upon which the complainants are
supposed to rely for their interests in the
property was obtained from H. P c. Will
son. who, it is claimed had, without notl-
flying the heirs -at-law Of the existence OF
taxes due upon the property. undertaken to
purchase the same at tax sale, which, they
claim, rendered the deed referred to void
and imperative. 1t is also alleged that
the defendants were not advised of the true
condition of the title to the property until
recently, since which time they have omit
ted no opportunity to protect their rights
and the court is asked upon final decree to
vest the title of the property absolutely in
the defendants as tenants in common, SUBJ
Ject to whatever conditions the court NAV
feel proper to impose In connection with
the establishment of the defendants in
tereSts.
The three lots In question are described
as having width Of about forty-five feet
on II street, and depth Of about ninety
feet and are said to be worth about $50, GOO.
The defendants are represented by ex-
Representative Joshua Miles, and Attor-
neys Wilton j. Lambert and D. w. Baker.
