OUR PHILIPPINE INTERESTS
Advantages Accruing to the United
States Through Possession of
the Islands.

Gen. James III. Wilson undoubtedly
expressed "A widespread view when he
declared in the discussion on the Rus
so-Japancse war before the American
Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence that the Philippines conferred no
substantive advantage on the United
States.
This view fails to consider all the
conditions, says the Philadelphia
Press. The Philippines yield no reve-
nue.. They furnish the United States
no military forces. They add instead
TO the points which demand defense
and garrison, an army and a feet
But this army and this feet give I he
United States its entire position in the
east. In 1900 the United States en-
joyed its weighty authority at Picking
because II was nearest to the scene OF
disturbance, had $4,000 seasoned men
on whom il could draw. and. next to
Japan, was the first power to be ready
with brigade in the march on the
Chinese capital. Thanks to the Phil
ippines and our interests there. our
navy in the Pacific is to-day the larg-
est save that of England. What did
we have on the Pacific coast OF Asia
1856? The Monocacy. side-wheel-
er, and one or two cruisers To-day
our battleshiDs and cruisers fall just
short OF Englands As NJ Delcasse
said in the French chamber Of deputies
when taken to account for the small
Frenen Pacific feet, France could not
think of rivaling or equaling the naval
force of the United States on the east
coast of Asia. since the United States
had to-day larger interests on the Ash
attic Pacific coast than any other
power
These interests are conferred by the
possession of the Philippines They
would not exist otherwise. They may
seem small ard Of no substantive adj
vantage to Gen. Wilson. They do not
thus appear to an astute and expert
enccd French diplomatist and states
man like NJ. Delcasse. the French min
lister Of foreign affairs. He secs that
Secretary Hay speaks with authority
in Chinese affairs because Of these in
terests. and would be no stronger than
his predecessors without them.
The Philippines give the United
States standing in Asiatic affairs. They
give those who direct our policy and
speak in our diplomacy the weight and
backing OF an army and navy nearer
the scene Of action than any other
force directed by any great neutral
power. On these things influence and
authority rest. With them the United
States Is a power in east AsIatic in
terests. without them II would be
but one Of the great powers. with no
special authority to Speak and with no
force at hand to give its authority ut
terance. and policy weight.

Of Connecticut. in the Senate this afternoon. the
sentiment being echoed by several leading SEN
ators the Republican side.
The declaration was brought about by the
marks Of Senator GornaE. who attempted TO
show that the Presidents instructions to the
Panama Commission involved a radical de-
parture from his well known Civil Service reform
views. Senators Hoar. Spooner P1att and Lodge
took part in the debate. showing that in no sense
did the work the canal come within the
scope Of the Civil Service law. Senator spooner
declared that il would be impracticable to Sc
cure the engineers and. other employees required
for the construction OF the canal by the slow
and uncertain process of Civil Service examina-
I tions
This brought Senator Hoar 20 his feet with
lucid explanation Of Civil Service reform. Mr..
Hoar said that under the old system employees
