Opportunities Offered.

1.-THE negroes would have an opportunity
Of lettering themselves by engaging in
abaca. coffee. cacao and rice culture, for
they will have learned the methods that
must be followed and when their contracts
expire with the sugar planter they may
launch out as small planters. each work.
ing his own fields as do the natives
Some will marry with Filipino women
and some with their own race; they will
write home of their prosperity and more
will come, either as contract laborers or as
settlers, perhaps aided by the fnsular gov
eminent. Such immigrats would be as use
full as the average discharged soldier would
be worthless. His military experience. dur
ing which he had never a thought for the
morrow, would have spoiled him entirely
for manual labor and he would never be-
come self-reliant and Industrious.
IF capital is enlisted in this cause, the
hegira which Senator Morgan desires may
be realized and the funds for investment
will be found If the government Is efficient
and fair in It's attitude toward investors.
There are available but two classes Of
laborers who are naturally fitted to with
stand the enervating effects Of the tropical
climate, who are equally suited to the task
and exist in sufficient numbers. These are
the negroes who overpopulate our southern
states and the oriental coolie; both withstand
equally well the tropical malaria and the
cold Of northern winters; both are good
laborers and docile and law-abiding. but
the Chinese are hated Intensely by the
Filipinos. They have been massacred by
the tens Of thousands and had the Fill
pinos achieved their independence the Chi
nese would have been forbidden to come
here or to stay here. 1t woull be extremely
unfortunate if the doors should be opened
to general Chinese immigration, for next
to the friars, the Filip1nos hate the China
men.
Legislation Needed.
ITO secure an exodus to the Philippines
of the superabundant blacks in the south
ern states a few acts Of government are
necessary:
II. Some SORT Of homestead law under
which the bona-ffd1 sQuatter could receive
free a title TO land for home after GER
tain im npSs Z. had been made and
"2 Insular aid In way Of transportation
and a start in the islands to bona fide negro
immigrants.
SO. Laws shopld9be enacted permitting
the granting of franchises, so that capital
may be induced to come.
81. In orderi that: modern sugar making
may be established land subsidies should
be allowed to9indtytduals or companies who
undertake to establish sugar centers on a
large scale; the passing of final title to the
land to be conditioned upon the realization
of the project andDproduction OF certain
tonnage of sugar for a term of years.
"5 Industrial establishments such as the
above to be exempt from all taxation for
a short term LOT iySars on capital invested
in fixtures.
50 The esta blishthent Of steamship lines
cific coast, so that communication may be
rapid, the contracts for this service to re-
quire the lowest possible rates to intending
settlers."

Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. 5.-In an
swer filed in the federal court by Port
land Mining company to "A suit brought
recently by the American Bridge COM
pany for $1,000 damages for breach
of contract the mining company charges
that the bridge company is a trust in
itself, and ii part of the United States
Steel Corporation, and pleads this as
q defense. The suit was brought on
behalf of the -HerzOg Manufact-
uring company.
The Portland company alleges that
the bridge company did not complete
its contract in the stipulated time,
which it says was an important consid-
Grafton. and that the building was left
fendant to complete the work. The
Portland company sets up a counter
claim for S145,O36 for damages. That
part of the answer making the charges
alleges that the American Bridge COM
pany and the Gillett-Herzog company
are part of a combination known as the
United States Steel Corporation.

MAKE 1T USELESS
What Railroads Promise to do to
Erie Canal if it is
Rebuilt.
PROJECT CARRIED AT ELECTION
Cost Will be $1O1,OOO,OOO and so
Years are Needed to Com
pIete il.

New York, Nov. 5.-"If the Erie
canal is ever rebuilt according to the
plan for which the people of the state
of New York voted Tuesday, the rail
roads will put it out of business in
less than a year, making it as useless
to the producer as is the present
waterway"
This statement was made yesterday
by an executive traffic official of one
of the large railway systems, and was
backed by the general sentiment eX
pressed in railroad circles. Another
statement of sensational character
was to the effect that the Erie canal
improvement never would be accom-
plished, as the railroads would find
some way of defeating the under
taking. The boast that the railroads
would be able to more than success
fully compete with the rebuilt canal,
capable of floating only 1,OOO-ton
barges, is not considered by traffic
and transportation experts as an idle
