The so called "Open door" policy in
the Philippines Is perple1ing the War
Department and Senate committee on
the Philippines. Great Britain and
Germany have protested against what
they claim is a failure on the part OF
this country to maintain that policy
In evidence of such failure they cite the
case of Manila hemp and fibre on which
the Philippine commission, with sane
ton of Congress, has imposed an ex-
port duty of 81 so per ton, which duty
however, is RENTED when the product
is shipped to the United States. Sena.
tor Lodge has always argued that the
open door policy must stand and for
that reason no advantage could be af-
forded the United States on goods ship
ped into the Philippines, but it now
looks as though that position was a

terms of the Cuban treaty negotiated by

has been possible to ascertain, members
Of Congress are pleased with the treaty
and several have predicted that it will
be promptly ratified. The President
has skillfully forestalled the imminent

House, he would at once send a message

The THRICE-A- WEEK WORLD was bril-
! liant success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing eyer since. Time is the

proval on the Thrice Week World, which

ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the coming winter and the

sible, more extensive than ever. All events
of importance, no matter where they happen
are reported accurately and promptly.

The Thrice Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns and
Democrat and Republican alike can obtain
in its pages truthful accounts of all the great
political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.

scrlption price is only $100 per year and this
pays for 1856 papers. We offer this unequal
ed newspaper and THE CLARION together

The adage that The laughs best who
laughs last" is being proven in the case
of the Senate and the Philippine none
tary standard. Last session the House
insisted on a gold standard fer the Is
lands, but the Senate objected and as a
result the present standard was main
tanned, although the wise ones in the
House predicted at the time that a
change would have to be made soon
The necessity has now arisen and the
Senate Philippine committee has fav-
orably reported bill providing for the
gold standard. This is the second time
during this session that the Senate has
had to yield to the judgment of the
House, the other instance being 10 re-
gard to the Cuban treaty, the Presi-
dent, as have elsewhere stated, having
determined to ask the sanction of the
House if the Senate does not.

Under the provisions OF the Cuban
treaty Cuban products entering the u
nited States will do so at a uniform dis
count of 20 per cent from the Dingley
rates and products of the United States
entering Cuba will receive concession
of 90 per cent from the lowest Cuban
tariff assessed on similar goods from
other countries except when otherwise
provided, the exceptions being instances
where special discounts of rs. 80 and
40 per cent are allowed. 1t is worthy
Of note that even with the 20 per cent
discount, the producers Of beet sugar
will enjoy protection of one and one
third cents per pound against Cuban
competition. Agricultural products re-
ceiye special consideration, to-wit: 30
per cent on butter, raw cotton and wool
40 per cent on rice, etc. Manufactured
cotton and wooden goods receive DIS
eount of 40 percent, while manufactures
of iron and steel, and the raw material
receive discounts of 25 per cent and
silk goods, watches, umbrellas. etc., re-
ceive discount Of 40 per cent.

The sanguine view of the Venezuela
situation taken in my letter of a week
ago proves, in the light Of subsequent
events, to have been amply warranted.
Not only haye all the parties to the DIFF
fculty consented to submit their differ
ences to arbitration, but they have &C.
copied the suggestion of the United
States and will employ the good offices
of the Hague Tribunal. Numerous ad-
ministrative details remain to be per-
fected and even some more important
contentious on the part of the Powers
await final settlement, but it is known
that Secretary Hay has already begun
work on the preliminary protocol which
when signed, will confde to the Hague
the arbitrament Of the many claims
and differences. There was time du
ring the past week when it was feared
that the President would be compelled
to accept the onerous task of arbitrat-
ing the case, such being the wish Of the
Allies, but Secretary Hay, with great
diplomacy, succeeded in making it clear
that it would be an imposition to ask
the President to perform so difficult
and thankless an undertaking.
