Would Protect Philippines.

A report sumbitted by the joint
army and naval board OF which Ad
miral Dewey is the senior member
relative to fortifications for the Philip.
pines. transmitted to the House by
Secretaries Root and Moody. says:
THE policy of Congress may be as
an American possession as against any
foreign enemy. but although the islands
have been in our possession now more
than five years, not gun has been
mounted nor an earthwork raised to
protect any Of our harbors."
The board, il is stated, is unanimous.
ly of the opinion:
That without fortified naval base
in the Philippines the Asiatic feet can
not keep open the lines of communica-
tion for supplies from the United
States or between the army posts
within the Philippines, without which
supplies the military forces OF the
United States could not hold command
of the islands.
That Manila is not, but that Subig
bay is suited for a naval station. and
of all harbors in the archipelago 1t Is
the best for the purpose.
That the fortification of Subig bay
is essential to the security for naval
station located there.
That fortified naval base on Su-
big bay will contribute materially to
the defense of Manila bay"

SENATOR WARREN ADDRESSES
CONVENTION OF WOOL GROWERS

Portland, Ore. Jan. 1.-THE conven-
tion OF the National Wool Growers As
sociation was called to order yesterday
morning. Sheepmen from the western
states and representatives of allied in
terests from various parts of the coun-
try were in attendance. as were two OF
President Roosevelt's commissioners to
investigate the public land question,
which will be one Of the important
matters considered by the wool grow
ers.
United States Senator Warren Of Wy
oming, president Of the association,
presided, and the business of the con-
vention was inaugurated with the read
ing OF his annual address, in which he
said:
THE changes since 1865 in the wool
growing industry have brought about
many new problems. Among them is
the adaptation Of the industry to the
public land laws. with a view to foster
ing to the greatest degree the most i'm
portant industries affected.
In forest reservation matters there
has been friction, and the patience OF
fiockmasters has been sorely tried. But
there is a prospect Of forestry matters
being consolidated In the Department OF
Agriculture and for 50 tisfactory dust
ment of many of the troubles which
have heretofore attended forestry ad-
ministration.
THE interests of the wool growers
and wool manufacturers are in the main
neutral. There is very little that the
two can or should differ about, and a
great deal upon which both should
