Self Government in Some Of the French Colonies

Paris, May17-While many of the French
colonies have been successful and pros
porous those of the West Indies, by rea-
son of their small area and distance from
the mother country, have proved not only
burden financially but somewhat I'M
satisfactory in the demands which their
representatives have made and continue
to make upon the mother country France
has tried the experiment, did spain,.
of giving to certain of her colonies repre-
sentation in the legislative body of the
home government and, according to M.
Leroy Beaulieu that experiment has been
unsatisfactory. The French colonies in
America, as is well known, consist of
Martinique and Guadeloupe with their ad-.
jacent islands forming part of the chain
of small islands which stretches in a semi
circle enthusiastically from Porto Rico
almost to the coast of South America. On
the mainland of South America. near the
southern terminus of this semicircle of
Islands just mentioned, is another colony
of France, French Guiana, while further
north, just off the southern coast of New
foundland. is the remainder of French
colonial America, the islands of St. Pierre
ard Miquelon.
Martinique has an area of 381 square
miles and a population of about 100, 900,
of which number about 5000 are laborers
brought from India and over 5000 labor
ers from Africa; also about 500 Chinese
immigrants. The remainder of the pop
ulation is largely native negroes, the
white population numbering in all about
10000. A large share of the interior Of
the island has never been brought under
cultivation, although it has been occu-
pied by the French almost constantly
since 1886. period of 267 years, the only
Interruption in Fre8. control being the
period from 1894 to when the island
was held by the Britt Slavery existed
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-05-17

until 1S48, when it was abolished in this
as well as other French colonies. Not
withstanding the fact that a large part
Of its interior has never been brought
under cultivation, the island is described
by Reclus as zone of the most densely
populated spots on the globe; on the ar
able lands people are packed as closely
as in such Industrial centers as sLanca-
shire, Flanders or Saxony.
The government of Martinique consists
of a local legislative body composed Of
natives which has the power to pass laws
applicable to the exercise of political
rights, the regulation of contracts. mat
tiers relating to wills, legacies and sue
cessions, the institution of juries, GRIM
inal procedure, recruiting for naval and
military forces, and the methods of elect
ing local officers in the cities and towns
The governor and other officers are ap-
pointed by the French government which
also makes the tariff laws Of the island,
as is the case with reference to its
other colonies. This and the other
American colonies of France have, as al
ready Indicated, much larger share of
self government than any other Of her
colonies, and are each represented by a
senator and two deputies in the French
legislative body corresponding to the
congress of the United States These
large powers Of self-gove rnment and of
participation in national legislation are
the subject of open criticism by French
economic writer's. Leroy Beaulieu, per-
haps the most distinguished of French
writer's OF the present day upon economic
subjects, in his Colonization che d les
Peuples Modernes," says: .As ress rds
politics, we have introduced French lib
erty into our colonies; we give mem
civil governors. admit their representa-
tives into our parliament, and while all
these reforms are excellent in them

The Question Of Torture Stated by Bishop Hal!

New York, May 17.-'.There is deep.
question which has been referred to in
pulpits. in the press and elsewhere-the
question of the torture of the Filipincs
by the army. Because these people are
ignorant 1t is no excuse that they should
be tortured. The words of President
Roosevelt stand out boldly when he said
nothing can justify or will satisfy the
use OF torture methods by the American
army so long as am president of the
United States 1t will be your duty while
there to use your influence and that OF
the great church which is behind you to
stop these practices which have brought
the blush of shame to the cheeks of every
true American patriot.
Such was the impressive statement at
service held in Calvary Episcopal church
yesterday as farewell to the Rt. Rev.
Charles H. Brent. the newly appointed
Episcopal bishop OF the Philippines. The
speaker was Bishop Hall of Vermont, who
addressed his sermon directly to Bishop
Brent, as an elder advising younger
man..

When the provinces of Alsace and Lor-

pire, being formally coded by France in
the treaty of. Frankfort, signed May: 10,
1871, the reichsland Imperial land}, as
the two provinces are Jointly styled, was
placed under the administration of a.
stadthalter, or governor general, with al
most absolute powers. A very strong
French feeling prevailed in the annexed
provinces, in spite of the fact that they
were principally of German stock. except
in Lorraine. s 7@a
So difficult, indeed, seemed the task of
assimilation that even Bismarck was up
to the end of the war, strongly adverse to
the annexation. s>
At the first the regulations governing
the Alsatians were very severe and were
enforced with military harshness, but a
series of enactments of the German reich
stag gradually introduced a constitution

members in the reichstag, but it is not
represented in the bundesrath, or federal
council. The population of Alsace-Lor-
raine is now about 1900 900.

Charges Against Him May Be
" Brought In the Senate.
QUESTION REGARDING LOOT
His Conduct Mt Picking During the
n. Boxer. Trouble-Mrs. sauires'
:. ~ Claims. @.te
Now York Sun, SpscfaI Services

Washington, May. 16-The nomination
of Herbert G. Squiers for minister to
Cuba is not approved in army and naval
circles. Mr. squiers was hrst secretary
Of the legation at Picking during the Boxer
troubles and preferred charges of coward
ice against Captain Newton H. Hall who
was in command of the United States ma
rines. A court Of inquiry not only exoner
ated Hall, but recommended that he be
breveted for conspicuous bravery. The
court Of inquiry in it's report said that the
charges against Captain Hall were largely
due to xpetticoat politics in the legations
Mrs. Squiers thought she ought to be
recognized by the marine guard as was
the wife Of Minister Conger. She rebuked
the marines because they. did not give
her official recognition by presenting arms
when she passed them at the, gate, and
she also complained to Captain Hail. The
captain expressed his regret but explained
that he could not require his men to sa
lutte. anyone except the minister. The ma
rines had saluted Mrs. Conger, not as: a
right due her position but purely as a
courtesy becau use of her consideration for
the men. She had been exceedingly kind
to them, looking after their comforts in
many ways while in the legation com
pound.
This explanation did not satisfy the
lady. She began a campaign Of petty per
secution against the marines When the
siege Of the legations began the British
minister, Sir Claude Mcdonald, assumed
command Of the defense and Mr.. Squiers
was designated as second in command. In
that capacity Mr.. Squiers assumed to di-
rect the movements Of the marines and
ordered Captain Hall to hold a certain
position on the wall. In this position the
men were exposed to the fire of the Box
ers and Captain Hall assumed RESPONSE
bility for changing their position to one
more protected and more capable of de-
feDsive warfare. For this Secretary
Suuiers preferred charges of cowardice.
ND MIR. Squires Have Lott
There have been other criticisms of Mr..
Squiers' conduct in Picking and 1t is said
that charges will be preferred against him
and laid before the senate committee on
foreign relations. These relate to the al
legged looting Of. the Chinese palaces in
Picking. Mr.. Squiers brought home with
him large collection Of valuable art
works which he has presented to the Met
ropolitan museum in New York. This col
lection was denied free admission at the
custom house in San Francisco and the
controversy has not been settled. Mr..
Squiers' explanation is that he purchased
these things in Picking but it is admitted
that they were taken from the palaces OF
wealthy Chinese without the consent OF
the owners.

selves, it.. is unfortunately to be feared
that: they will in practice result in
abuses, and that unless the mother
country is very watchful those very pow
ers which she, has granted to her colonies
will become. powers of oppression. The
deputies whom Martinique send to our
parliament serve only to represent the
malice, prejudice and ignorance of: the
blacks. The weak executive power in
France allows itself to be intimidated
by these deputies and sends out to the
colonies cowardly and incapable govern
ors whose indecision of character feeds
the more or less barbarous hopes of the
native population of the island.".> = -
Sir Charles Dixie, the well-known Brit
1sh legislator and writer upon colonial
governments, does not join in the pessi-
m1sttc views which the French writer's
express. regarding the experiments, which
the French have made in ;:the encourage
ment Of local self-government in their
West Indian colonies. = In his problems
Of Greater Britain,,,' he says: sd ~: J.
Some who think the negro. united for
self government point to Haiti; but they
might reflect, that: In the French islands of
Martinique and Guadeloupe power is tn the
hands OF the colored people while the islands
prosper. q. The experience, indeed, Of those
islands in which the negroes and tcoloTed',
people have been entrusted: with large
!
make of representative institutions seems to
show that their detractors are in the wrong
The friends of the negro, are: now able to
point to the progress effected by the; West
Indian peasant proprietors, to the spread Of
education. to the undoubted rise in the STAN
dard of comfort, and to the prominent place
already taken by individuals OF ethe African
race. The example of Martinique and Guade-
loupe goes to show that it is time that we
(the English) should make trial Of more
liberal system. It is commended that where
representatives of the people are elected by
| manhood suffrage, as is the case in the
French islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe and
Reunion, the result has been recrudescence
Of race hatreds and the political subsection
OF the whites to men of color. While we
have a certain contempt for the French
considered as colonzing people, every
English writer on the subject admits that
the French have been more SUCCESSFUL in
Martinique and Guadeloupe than we have
been tn similar and closely adjoining islands
Excellent results have been attained by the
French through their frankly accepting the
principle that the :colored race Is better
suited to the West Indies than is the white;
and France has encouraged and helped the
colored people to become dominant in the
French islands Meantime the trade of two
French islands, Martinique and Guadeloupe,
is, roughly speaking, one-third that of all
the British West Indies vastly greater in
size and population, and the British island
Of Dominica, which stands between the two
French colonies, shows a lamentable contrast
| to their prosperity. ..&a71z
