Special to Times Republican.
Washington, March 16.-The state
ment Of Congressman Hull printed in
the east today that the United States
will probably have to defend the Phil
ippines against Japan or sell them has
occasioned considerable talk here. Few
agree with Hull and stated such talk
is to facilitate passage of large mill
tary appropriation bills. Hull has
large interests in the Philippines and
wants the islands fully protected.

The Hull Interview.

Des Moines, March 16-Congress-
man j. A. r Hull Of Iowa. chairman
of the house committee on military
affairs, sees in the continued successes
of the Japanese against Russia, still
greater reason that ever for this coun-
try's preparation for war in time OF
peace. Casting glance into the fu-
ture as he discussed the far eastern
situation on his return to Des Moines,
Capt Hull SAW the promise Of trouble
between the japanese and Americans
over the Philippine islands, and he
urged the Importance of following out
the presidents policy Of increasing the
effectiveness Of the navy.
Would the Japs Fight Us?
II venture the prediction" said
Capt. Hull, that if the Japanese win
this war, as they seem to be doing,
we ourselves, will have trouble with
them on our own account within fif-
teen years.
"The japanese want the Philip
pines; of that there is no doubt.
either in Washington or in other
capitals Of the world. The, Philip
pines would be very valuable acc
qsiisition to Japanese territory, and it
is right at their door. The Japa-
inese feel now that they can whip any
other country on earth, and If that
condition Of mind grows and their
desire to possess The Philippines
continues. trouble will surely fol-
low:
How to Prevent Trouble.
"As it seems to me, the thing for
this country to do is to begin now a
strengthening of its navy that would
be an effective preventive Of any
trouble with Japan or any other coun-
try. In the event of disagreement
with Japan, the navy alone would have
to bear the brunt Of the trouble. It is
$500 miles to the Philippines ~ too
great a distance to think Of trans
porting troops with an effective hos
tile navy lying in wait for them.
So there could be no land warfare
The only hope Of this country
would lie in absolutely destroying ia
pans supremacy on the oriental seas.
That would be the sole hope of VIC
tory.
II think that each congress that
meets should build at least one bat
tleship. We have now about six
teen battle ships in course of con-
struction; when these are finished we
will have navy second only to that
OF England. But we must get on an
equal sea footing with England, be-
lieve. We spend now about $70,OOO,-
600 a year for naval maintenance; with
the new ships added our expense will
be about $100,000,OOO, while England
spends annually $24O,00O,O00.
Hawaii Should be Fortified.
1--WE need, Furthermore, to fortify
the Hawaiian islands properly. If
we do that we can be masters of the
Pacific. No ship can cross the Pa
cific both ways without coaling. III
Japan sent ship to San Francisco
to lombard that city, it would be
stranded there unless it could coal
somewhere on American territory.
The thing for us to do is to make that
sort Of thing impossible, and Hawaii
is one of the points that must be
strengthened.
"By following out this sort of poll
icy the possibility Of war with JAPAN
or any other country will be great
ly lessened. 1t is an important poll
icy, even though it may cost money
now; it will be economical of treas
ure and life in the long run"

John Redmond Asks Government to
Avert impending Famine.

London, March 15.-In the house OF
commons yesterday John Redmond
urged the government to take imme-
diate steps to avert impending famine
in the west of Ireland. The existing
conditions of things, he said, are in
famous and cruel and have made Eng

manity. Mr.. Atkinson, attorney gem
eral for Ireland, admitted the enormity
Of the evil, but said the difficulty Of
solving the problem was appalling. He
claimed it was most unjust to say that
the government had not taken every
precaution to meet the distress. Mr..
Hayden's motion arraigning the gov
ernment was rejected by a majority OF

Tie pass is now in the hands of
Che Japs and the broken Russian
army continues its retreat to the
NORTH. No details Of the action
have been received, and the ulti-
mate fate Of the remnant OF kuro-
patkin's force is still problemati-
cal. Another successful Ranking
movement on tho part Of the Japs
would probably seal its fate, but
Il may be the Japs are not ii con-
dition to accomplish such a feat,
after their exhausting efforts OF
the past two weeks. kuropatkIn
evidently left Tie pass yesterday
and reports to st. Petersburg that
his army is falling back in good
condition. The next town OF inn
portance in the line Of Russian re-
treat is kaiyuan, some twenty
miles from Tie pass, but its STRAIT
euie value is not known.

( ion Of Russian troops, is now In pos
session Of the Japs. After slight re-
sistance the Russians evacuated at
midnight the strong position they had
prepared months ago, setting fire to
the railway station and other build
lnes. The Jap troops, which had occu-
pied Yinpao and east Fushun, are IN
hot pursuit of the retreating Musco-
yites along Kirin road. It is predicted
the Russians will retreat to Harbin.
Toxic is preparing a municipal cele-
Z bration Of Japan's victory for Satur-
day"
santoupuo, March Wednesday
eyening-The Russians have abandon
ed their advanced positions on Fan
river, where the desperate attack OF the
Japanese Tuesday was repulsed, and
have, fallen back on the defenses at
Tie pass. Previous to the retirement
the supplies of wood were set on fire.
"A desperate and bloody battle is now
waging north of Tie pass.
( st. Petersburg. March 16.-The news
from the front is again very serious.
Oyama is striking another blow at the
defeated Russian army. In spite of the
exhaustion Of his forces after the long
twelve day struggle for Mukden, he
has been able to organize fresh turn
ing movement in the hope of completing
1he victory won under the walls OF
Mukden. Tuesdays attack upon the
Russian advance line at Fan river, 1t
is now evident, was only a feint, while
the Japanese columns were being
worked around to get in position to
fall upon the Russian rear, and as
yesterdays blow was struck dispatch
to the Associated Press from San
toupu was bringing to st. Petersburg
the first word OF the battle in progress
north OF Tie pass.
That Kuropatkin was taken by sur
Rise is a fair inference from the man
ner in which, Tuesday night, he aban-
doned the Fan river positions leaving
10 hurriedly that he was again obliged
to burn his stores to prevent them
from falling into the hands of the Jap
anese. Il Is evident the Japs struck
In from the west. Tie pass is practic-
ally the gate where the mountains and
Lao river meet and it commands the
whole country northward. With the
Ja,os in behind the Russian army at
Tie pass, Kuropatkin's position is ex-
tremely critical. Once the Japs are
across his rear in force, Kuropatkin
would have to cut his way out or sur
render.

foundry trade has not yet shown any notable eE-
pansiOn. hIle this branch OF the business may be
expected to trail along after the heavy trade, II
must be confessed that Improvement should be
tinue very active and under full pressure. There
has been further good booking of steel rail orders
chiefly from the West and southwest, which the
Chicago mill to which they must hrst come has
only been able 10 handle in part, the overflow going
TO works further east. The tonnage coming 10 the
bridge shops is exceedingly heavy. The leading
interest has been hooded with inquiries. which
during the week aggregated more than those of the
previous mC1Lh. Tney include railroad bridges and
steel structures for industrial plants, and very
office structures the demand has not vet developed
Both on structural material and plates the
Steel Corporation Is forced TO pro orders being
able to bid only part OF the tonnage presented.
Premiums are becoming more general some
what noteworthy fact is that plate makers have
been in receipt within the last few days of in
quiries from Atlantic Coast shipyards. This is not
for work in connection with the navy. but comes
from the merchant marine. II may indicate an i'm
prOvement In branch of industry which has thus
ment. A somewhat curious situation has been de-
VelOping in the lighter lines wire, sheets pipe.
etc. From some sections of the country come com
plants that JObberS have been making concessions
disappointment with the development of the spring
demand. In other parts OF the country the very
reverse seems TO characterize the situation and
premiums are even asked and conceded.
