JAPAN's TERMS CONSIDERED HARSH
French Press Doubts That Russia VIII
Surrender Intcrped WarshiDs.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE French press
unanimously refrained from comment
ing on the Japanese peace terms until
acquainted with the trend of opinion in
Russia. Most of the journals to-day
agree with regard to the severity of the
conditions.
The Temps devotes an editorial to an
analysis of the terms, dividing them
into three categories, the first compris-
ing the acceptable conditions-the evac-
uation OF Manchuria, the cession of
Liaotung Peninsula the handing over
of the Harbin railroad and the recog-
milton of Japan's protectorate over Ko-
rea- Then follow the debatable points
the reimbursement of the expenses of
the war and the cession Of Saghalien,
which, II thinks, are both capable of
arrangement; and, finally, the limita-
ton Of the Russian naval forces in the
Far East and the handing over of the
interned warships, which appear to it
not to be acceptable.
However the Temps adds that the
conditions, taken generally, offer a good
basis for negotiation. The Journal des
Debats points out that Russia, if desr-
Gus of preserving Vladivostok, has
every reason to seek peace without de-
lay.

Predicts That the Cooper Bill

Far East -Colony's Output

MANILA, Aug. 12.-Now that the
Taft Congressional party has been in
the ISLANDS more than d week, conSen-
sus or the opinion of the majority of its
members on the free admission of Phil
lppine Islands products into the mar
kets of the United States has been OBJ
tained and it can be stated without fear
OF contradiction that the attitude of the
leaders of the opposition To the policy
OF a reduction of the Dingley tariff on
sugar and tobacco has materially
changed since their arrival here.
representative Il. ]. Hill of Connect
1cut, one of the leaders in the House of
the opposition to the further reduction
or the tariff on tobacco, declares him
self in favor of the free admission of
cigaEs and tobacco from the islands to
the United States. Senator f. T. Du-
bois, leader of the opposition to the
Cooper bill in the Senate, has said that
he would not oppose free trade, while
other members, erstwhile of the opposi-
ton party, have convinced themselves
that sugar and tobacco from the islands
Will i'll nowise menace like products of
the United States.
Representative Swagar Shirley of
Kentucky, an American tobacco grow
ing district, says he will favor the free
admission of island tobacco. being con-
vinced that the cigars from here will
not compete to any appreciable extent
with those manufactured in America.
1t can be stated, upon no less author
ity than Representative c. III. GroSvenor
of Ohio, that the Cooper bill, which was
favorably reported upon by the House
committee at the last session of Con-
gress, will now be amended, providing
for free trade instead of the proposed
reduction of % per cent on the prevail
ing Dingley rates Representative
Grosvenor says:
An amendment will be offered by
Representative Serene E. Payne of New
York, chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means. providing for the free
admission of Philippine products and
the outlook for it's passage is very IA
vorable.
Secretary Tafts speech, definitely de-
fining the political status of the islands
and the possibility that their indepen-
dence will be deferred for a generation
at least, and probably longer, has
strengthened the administration on all
hands. Local American merchants are
highly gratifed at the attitude taken by
the administration in respect to the
present and future government of the
islands.

The Marine Hospital service has made
so good an impression with the manner
in which it is doing it's work of disin-

RAILROAD WAR

Special Dispatch to The CAN.

SEATTLE Aug. Pin the sale of the
Bellingham Bay and British Columbia
Railroad to the Canadian Pacific. negotia-
ted by President II. A. Taylor or San
Francisco this week, the seven years war
between the CandaIan line and the Great
Northern has been renewed and strug-
gle, unequaled in railroading in the
Northwest, is predicted.
When James ]. Hill sought a Canadian
franchise for his Canadian branch
through the Hope mountain pass he
brought on the war. The Canadian Pa
clfic viewed the new road as usurper of
it's rights. Then began fight between
the two roads which lasted until last year
when Lord Strathcona, a heavy stock
holder in both the Great Northern and
Canadian Pacific, brought about peace.
In the new deal the Canadian Pacific
secures a line from Bellingham north
ward and eastward to Maple Falls and
a survey from the latter place to Spo-
kane. 1t is midway between the Great
Northern's Canada and American lines,
tapping the richest territory the Hill
road draws its traffic from. According
to a prominent Canadian Pacific official,
it is the intention of the CANADIAN Pa
cific to build the extension to Spokane
and very probably southwark from Bel
lingham to Seattle. If this course Is
pursued Great Northern officials who
refuse to be quoted say the Hill lines
in Canada will be extended into new
Canadian Pacific territory with the
view of tapping the richest mineral and
agricultural sections.
President Hill will arrive here in two
weeks and at that time it is said he
will make a trip to British Columbia
where he will look over the situation
and determine what weapon he will
use to Offset the invasion of the Cana
