But in the Philippines we have men working for $15 per month. The Filipinos are human beings with hopes and aspirations like our own. ican colonists saw it in 1775 and now is it to be wrested from them and are they to yield up their hope of liberty? Pacified? Yes. temporarily, perhaps, at the muzzles of American rifles, but let those rifles be turned away and their hopes and ambitions will return and they will renew their struggle.
 We have killed their men and some times their children and even, per haps, though accidentally, their wo- men. Will they forgive us and accept our rule? Never, except in the pres ence of large armed forces. To pre- serve peace in the Philippines we must maintain an army of from forty to fifty thousand men in the islands for years to come, perhaps forever; and this to conquer people to whom liberty is as dear as it is to us. Can the Philippine question be said to be one of minor importance"

The appointment by the president of J. s. Clarkson of Iowa to an i'm portant federal position in New York is sad commentary on MT Roose- yelt's civil service reform professions, writes q correspondent. This is the same Mir Clarkson to whom, it will be remembered, Civil Service Commis- sioner Roosevelt paid his respects in unequivocal terms. MT Roosevelt, if remember rightly, characterized Mir Clarkson as the '.headsman of the ad- ministration" and as "a conspicuous advocate of the spells system What can have induced President Roosevelt to so far depart from his principles and appoint the man he f1ayed at St Louis the people will have to judge.

The garden party planned by Mrs Roosevelt for one evening last week was necessarily transformed into an in- door party because of the weather. The entertainment proved quite a sue cess, however, several hundred guests being present. Miss Roosevelt assist ed her mother in receiving the guests, who were presented by Colonel Bing- ham. and Miss Hagner presided at the tea table in the state dining room.
 The president has informally an- nounced to Henry Clay Evans that he will, in the near future. tender to bim the position of consul general to Lon don, the place having become vacant through the death of William McKin- ley Osborne, cousin of the late presi- dent.

 Though he has circled the Eiffel tower in an airship, Santos -Dumont has done nothing as yet that would indicate that he can build an airship that will carry 100 passengers across the Atlantic in two days, but he said before he sailed for Europe the other day that he could build such ship for S1,OOO,O0O. However, he hasn't the million and it will doubtless be a hard matter for him to get it. We should imagine, too, that he would find diff ficulty in getting the 100 passengers Hartford Post.

The sensational story sent out by some Washington correspondents, of q combintion of democrats in the sen ate with the beet sugor senators to prevent action on the Cuban reciproc- ity bill. the Philippine bill and the Nicaraguan canal bill is positively de- nied by the democratic leaders. The story may have originated with the beet sugar senators who are being driven to desperate straits, but the democrats have heard nothing about it except from the newspapers. As for as the Nicaraugan canal bill is concerned there is little hope of se- curing an appropriation for that pur- pose. Treasury receipts for the past two months have not been up to eX- pectations and there will be a compar- atively small margin between receipts and expenses so that it is believed most probable that Senator Allison will oppose any large appropriation for an isthmian canal.

A Strike Expected.

HAZLETON, Pa.,. May 5.--The i'm pression prevails among the miners of the Hazleton district that there will be general strike as q result of the fail ure of the operators and the representa- lives of the United Mine Workers to come to an agreement. If the district executive boards decide on Wednesday at Scranton to order suspension of work, the members of the union here abouts will, it is believed, obey the or der to man. conservatively esti- mated that tn sourths of the en- ployees in and sl.sut the mines in this region are organized, and if strike is declared operations will be brought to a standstill at every colliery.

Mayor Sullivan of Hartford has the satisfaction of knowing that he pleased some people by his decision not to grant 'Bill'' Crowley a license for prize fight, even if he did hurt the feelings of the followers of the '.profesh'' Rev MT Dixon of the Hartford South Baptist church in his sermon yesterday spoke as follows about the mayors action: It is pleas ing to note that Mayor Sullivan has the courage to respect the better sen timent of the city and refuse the ap- plication for license for prize fight against the wishes of very consider able number of citizens who are in fa- vor of such exhibitions. It was the duty of the good people of the city to let the mayor know, by mail or other wise, that they approve of his action. For his part, MT Dixon hoped the ad- ministration of Mayor Sullivan would be on the high level set by this act. There had been mayors who came from other walks in life than the pres ent mayor who did not have the cour- age to refuse such applications. It was of no consequence whether the mayor came from the ranks of wage earners or where he came from so

1.-The editor or the citizen who un- derestimates the Philippine question, who fails to appreciate that it is of paramount importance, who imagines that senators, in ventilating and op- posing the Philippine policy of the ad- ministration, are losing sight of the in- terests of our own people, is short sighted. He does not grasp the true import of the situation,'' said Senator Clay, in reply to a question put to him Saturday. 'sIs an undertaking which means to the people of the United States an annual expenditure of ESQ., 100000, and which means that expen- allure not for one year but continuous ly a question of minor importance? And that is not the most serious phase of the situation. Reflect for q moment upon the effects of the war upon our American soldiers, officers and men. It is brutalizing them as is plainly shown by the evidence which has been given before the Philippines commit tee. And why this cruelty? Is it in accordance with the past histories of our army? No! And for good req son. In the civil war men fought for the principles in which they believed, the rights of the sovereign states on the one side, the preservation of the union on the other.

calling another meeting of the cOncil1a. ton committee, as that procedure would be useless in view of the latest development
 Senator Hanna said he had been awaiting report from the subcommit- tee of the conciliation committee, but that MT. MitchelPs statement had an- ticipated it. The work of the concflia- tion committee was ended, said the senator, when it brought together the operators and the representatives of the miners union, and he added that nothing more could be done unless there were some new developments.
 T want to emphasize the fact" con- tinued Senator Hanna, that the con ferences between the operators and miners were satisfactory. Three con- ferences were held, and the proceed ings were conducted in the best spirit think the operators formed fayora- ble impression of MT. Mitchell and gave him credit for honesty and sin cerity in his efforts to change the con- ditions of the miners. On the other hand, Mr. Mitchell appreciated the con sideration shown him and the interests he represents. Unless bitter and pro- tracted strike should occur I believe much good will come out of the confer ences. I am of the opinion that they will lead to better conditions between capital and labor.
 T am in favor of meetings between employers and employees to consider differences. l want the people to thor oughly understand the position of the Civic federation. It can do only two things, exert its influence to prevent strike or arbitrate when rupture has occurred at the request of both parties to the dispute. In this case the Civic federation has done all within it's prov ince. It brought together through it's conciliation committee the representa- lives of the miners union and the oper- ators.
 Tn the evolution of things rapidly taking place in this country the confer ence of employers and employees is one of the conditions that must neces- sarlly be part of it. The progress and development of our industries must be accompanied by the development and
 
 HThe peculiar situation of the an- thracite mining industry continued the senator makes the proposition most difficult The combination of the railroad and mining interests brings forward the question of tonnage, and this, with threatened competition from the enormous production of bituminous coal, constitutes matters which must be considered. This is the foundation of the operators argument. It is nr,t mere selfish interest that impe,,s them to the stand they have taken, but the proposition Is difficult t5 explain to the rank and file of the workers in and about the mines. It is my hope that when they are educated to understand these conditions they may be consider ate and not governed by prejudice in future actions"

POTTER PALMER DEAD.
One of ChicagO's Prominent Business
 Men Suddenly CoIIapses.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Potter Palmer, for nearly half a century one of Chica- go's most prominent business men, is dead at his residence on Lake Shore drive.
 The exact cause of MT. Palmer's death has not yet been determined He had been suffering for several weeks with a nervous disorder, but as he was able to be about the house his condition was not thought to be serious. When he retired Saturday night, he was feel ing if anything better than for several days. During the night, however, he seemed to lose all his energy and in the morning was unable to leave his room. He gradually grew weaker during the day, and last evening he suffered a sudden collapse, from which he ex- pired.
 The physicians who were attending MT. Palmer are at loss as to the ulti- mate cause of his death. Apparently he had not organic troubles. Mrs. Palmer and their two sons, Honore and Potter junior were with MT. Palmer when he died.
 Potter Palmer was born in 1926 in Potters Hollow, Albany county, \. Y. He received common school educa- ton and at the age of eighteen engaged as clerk in a store at Durham, N. r., where he remained three years. When he became of age, he opened a store of his own at Oneida, N T., and conduct ed it for two years. He afterward spent one year at Lockport, N. r., and then removed to Chicago, where he es. tablished a dry goods firm. This firm afterward became Field, Palmer x Letter, of which the other members were Marshall Field and Levi z. Letter and which has been succeeded by the firm of Marshall Field & Go. The sharp advance in the price of goods after the beginning of the civil war found the firm prepared with large stock, and it reaped immense gains from every ad- vance.
 MT. Palmer retired from mercantile life in 1865. and so liberal had been his policy in meeting public requirements during the war that the government was indebted to him to the extent of ST500o0. After disposing of his dry goods interests Mfr. Palmer invested largely in Chicago real estate and be- gan the erection of business buildings.
