ISLAND COLONY
Secretary of War Taft on the
Philippines.
ADDRESS At INDIANAPOLIS, IND.
states Had No other Course
40 Take Than ia Assume SOver-
eighty of the Islands After
War, Said Speaker.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. TAT
the national convention of the Repub-
lican League clubs in this city Secre-
tary of War Taft spoke at length on
the conditions of the islands and ex-
pectations of the government in rela-
ton to the United States greatest colo
ny, the Philippine Islands.
Secretary Taft began by referring
to the pleasure he had in visiting the
home of the late General Harrison,
who, he said, was "a great lawyer, a
great statesman and a great man."
The speaker devoted substantially
all of his speech to the issues respect
ing the Philippine Islands and dwelt
Mt some length on the situation in
which 'the United States, without
fault, found itself after the protocol
with Spain was signed" saying that
there was no other course for the
United States to take other than to as
sumo the sovereignty of the islands.
ITO turn the islands back to SPAIN"
he said, would have been false to the
reasonable hope of the insurgents, and
to turn the islands over to Aguinaldo
would have found the people suffering
from oppression far greater than to
continue them under the rule of
Spain" He described the condition of
the people in the islands, showing that
I per cent spoke Spanish, and the re-
mainder were in a condition of ig-
norance hard for the Americans to I'M
derstand. He spoke at length of the
plan of education by a thousand
American teachers who have been i'm
ported to teach 10000 or $4,000 Filipi-
no teachers the English language, II
aiding them in turn to teach the pri-
mary and secondary courses.
Secretary Taft discussed the ques-
ton of the cost of the Philippines to
the United States and pointed out that
down to May, 1902, the cost, as Off
cially reported by the secretary of war,
did not exceed $169,000, 900, that the
500, 900, 900 to be paid under the treaty,
added to this, increased it to $1S9,000,l
600, and that the cost per year to the
United States for maintaining the
courts and the additional cost of main
tanning 1900 troops in the Philippines
instead of in the United States, all
taken together, do not exceed $5,000,-
900 a year.

Plainfield will be the thlckest part
of the fight in the Fifth district con-
gresslonal campaign and a good deal
depends upon the attitude to be taken
by the Republicans who voted the

turn the tables on the boilers or will
they remain regular? The personal
popularity of tho Democratic candi-
date among his towns folk is de-
pended upon by his friends to be the
means Of cutting down the big ma

THE VENTURE OF FAITH.
Elements of True Faith and What
the Soul Loses With
out Them.

The simplest words are the most I'M
fathomable, the most impossible of def
milton. They have the simplicity of the
sea and of the sky, which bound each
other at the horizon, but are not to be
scored and marked by any boundary
line of ours. One such word is faith,
which Christ and Paul agree in putting
into the forefront of the working virtues,
but which the theologies have moreo OBJ
scured shan explained to us. We are
getting back to the discovery that faith
is not so much a mental operation as q
personal relation in which the will is en-
listed. Its proper object is not a creed,
but a person-our God and Saviour.
We ade learning that he is not justified
by faith who merely holds a right on
ception of that doctrine. and who can di-
late on the imperfection of rival defini-
tions of it, but he who from his heart can
say that he has put himself for sal
walton into the hands of that Christ
who is made justification unto us.
Not that creeds are useless things, but
their use is to embody our convictions
,ather than our faith. When the
lpostles say: Il know whom | have
believed. he combines both.
Equally faulty is the confusion Of
iaith with sight. which Phillips.

CARS WAR COUNCIL
st. Petersburg Disturbed by
Unrest at Mukden.
KUROpATKIN MAY TAKE OFFENSIVE
Wal Omce OmcfaIs Gave Out No News
From Manchuria Port Arthur
Fleet May Have struck
n Blow.

LONDON, Oct. IA special cable
gram from st. Petersburg says that
the war commission sat until an I'M
usually late hour last night, but adj
journed without issuing additional
news from the front.
Expert opinion is divided as to
whether n serious engagement is like
ly to occur at Mukden, but the dis
patch from that city reporting an un-
usual activity there gives rise to much
speculation. 1t is impossible to say
whether this condition presages the
evacuation of Mukden, but in any case
it is evident that something of unusual
interest is impending. Some ever are
bold enough to take il that General
Kuropatkin is preparing to assume the
offensive. but i'm view of the facts that
most reliable advices credit him with
only about six divisions at Mukden
this is exceedingly improbable. 1t is
thought more likely that the commo-
ton had to do with one or other of
the Japanese thanking columns, which
the Russian commander may have
been preparing to check.
Advices from st. Petersburg this
morning say that while the admiralty
claims to have no knowledge of the
departure of the Port Arthur squad
ron, it is inferrable from the way in
which the report that such an event
had t%ranspired has been received that
definite confirmation would not create
surprise. 1t is said that no direct or
ders have been sent to Admiral Wren
to break through the %blockading fleet.
but it is tacitly admitted that the adj
miral has discretionary powers to leave
Port Arthur should the situation de
mand or conditions be propitious. In
naval circles it is pointed out that the
present conditions seem to be favor
able for a sortie. Heavy storms have
ragged outside Port Arthur and doubt
less compelled the blockading vessels,
and particularly the torpedo boats. to
seek shelter, thus leaving the way
clear for a dash to V~ladivostok.
A Tokyo report says that the Port
Arthur ~blockading fleet has captured n
junk laden with provisions which was
%endeavoring to enter the harbor. State
ments of the crew and evidence found
aboard indicate the existence of a fleet
of thirty junks organized to run the
blockade from the vicinity of Using
tau.
Despite the vigilance of the block
aiding fleet many of these vessels reach
the Russian lines at a number of land
ing places on the lower end Of the
peninsula. They enter at night, the
Russian guns and mine fields giving
them an advantage over vessels of tho
blockading fleet.

dams duty, and it is fulfilled by faith
working on to hope and love.
In this process we are greatly him
dered by want of faith at one critical
point. We deplore our sins, we ask
for help to overcome them, and we go
about our life and its works without
any faith that the prayer had been
answered. We know it was right in
itself, and that we really wanted what
we asked for. We know that without
the help we asked, sin will continue
TO rule in our mortal bodies. Yet we
do not really expect the help to be
given, and still less do we believe that
1t has been given. So we find ourselves
Just where we were, and begin the
same prayers over again, and to just
as little purpose. Where has the fall
ure been? Not in God, surely! Not
in the grace and willingness of Jesus
Christ to save us and all His people
from their sins. 1t has been in us.
Gods hands of giving have been
stretched out to us with the gift we
asked, but no hand of faith in us went
put to grasp it. We did not believe
That our prayers were answered. and
we were left as pcwerless against the
evil thing as before.
The prayer for sanctiication is the
prayer to be filled with the Spirit"
OF Jesus Christ. When we offer that,
as Mr.. Meyer says, we are moi to look
for any outburst of emotion as EVIL
dence, but to wait humbly upon God,
believe that He is going to keep His
word with us, and then go forth reck-
oning that He has. done SO. All that
is personal trust in Him; anything
that m short of 1t is less than
faith. Let us no longer doubt either
His ability or His willingness
