FIVE YEARS OF MANILA.
In One Particular We Have Not Treat

Harper's Weekly.
We are now In the fifth year since the
city of Manila was surrendered to American
troops, and since the Philippines were cut
OF from free access TO the Spanish market.
What have we done since then TO replace
ucts were by our own act deprived: or, In
other words, what have we done to stimu-
late and sustain the industries OF our in
sular possessions In the far East which
henceforward must look to us exclusively
for prosperity and progress? The shameful
truth must be acknowledged that we have
done next to nothing. We have treated the
products of the Philippines precisely as
If they were the products Of foreign
state, except that we have consented to
make the derisory reduction of Is per cent.
OF the Dingley rates in their favor. There
Is absolutely no excuse for this monstrous
discrimination against a particular part or
the American domain. The Philippines did
not petition to be annexed TO the United
States; annexed them against their
will, and the least thing We can do with
any show of decency is TO give them a sub
stitute for the Spanish market, from which.
as belonging to a foreign country, they are
now debarred. What possible reason can be
advanced for treating the philippines less
generously and less justly than we have
time did we deny to Porto Rican products
freedom of access to our markets. The bar
was quickly lifted, and with benefcent re-
suits to both parties. II turned out that

AN AUTO ENDURANCE RACE
1T WILL BE RUN TO-DAY ON WAGER
OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Carl G. Fisher and Conrad Mueller
Will He the Contestants-Start
from Monument Place.

An endurance race of 100 miles will be
run to-day between two Indianapolis auto
mobiles, no matter what the weather may
be- A few days ago Carl G. Fisher. of the
Fisher Automobile Company. offered to
race an Olds Mobile against the Cadillac
machine sold in this city by Conrad Muel-
Ter. Mr.. Fisher offered to wager $500 that
the Olds machine could beat the Cadillac
in a 10O-mile race. Mr.. Mueller accepted
the challenge yesterday. and representa-
tives of the two men met last night and
drew up an agreement under which the race
will be run.
The committee, composed of j. A. Nc
Kim, George Weidly and Frank Moore.
agreed that the machines to be used in the
race shall be stock machines, fitted with
regular engines and gears. A representa-
tive of the opposing side will ride in each
machine. The operators will be permitted
to carry such supplies as are necessary
Several routes were discussed at the
meeting, but ii was decided that the route
to be traversed will not be chosen until
fifteen minutes before the start of the race.
The machines will leave Monument place
at o'clock. and will run slowly until the
city limits are reached, when the drivers
can use as much speed as they desire. The
distance will be in the neighborhood of 100
miles, and one Of the following routes Will
probably be selected: Indianapolis to Co.
iumbus and return: Indianapolis to Rush
Vile to Dunreith to Indianapolis; Indian
apolis to Kokomo and return, or Indian
apolis to Noblesville to Anderson to Green
field and home. Several other routes were
also considered, but most Of the best roads
are in bad shape just at this time on ac-
count of the work being done on interur-
ban lines.
After the agreement was practically
made it was suggested that 1t would be
better for the automobile interests of the
city to postpone the race until the weather
Is more settled and the roads are in better
condition, but Earl Fisher, representing
his brother, refused to have the race post
poned, and the start will be made at
o'clock this morning.
Under ordinary circumstances 1t is be-
lieved the 100 miles could be covered in
four hours. but the members of the commit
tee that drew up the agreement believe II
will require ten or more hours to complete
the 100 miles owing to the condition of the
roads.
In accepting Mr.. Fishers challenge Mr..
Mueller exacted a condition that Mr.. Fish
er agree to another proposition for 600
a side to be settled later. The proposition
will cover speed contests, hill-climbing con-
tests and other endurance trials.
