Assimilation of Asia by OccI-
dental Civilization.

PORTLAND. Ore. Aug 29-severaI
prominent educators addressed the Lewis
and Clark educational congress today
among them being President Benjamin
Ide Wheeler Of the university of California.
President Wheeler said:
The great problem with which the worlds
history will have to deal in the next CEN
tury concerns the assimilation of eastern
Asia TO the other world-half The man. of
the west and man of the east cannot Jin-
derstand each other. In superficial things
they may seem 10 establish a temporary
understandings but they are apart on the
fundamentals.
The Pacific coast has become within fifty
years the outer, selvage of occdentalism.
Its population represents by its aggressive
individualism, Its riskfulness and IT'S power
of creative initiative, the most advanced
type of the occidental spirit Within the
next decade the educational institutions
OF the Pacific coast will surely be called
upon, To an extent out of all proportion
to anything i'm the past, 10 render service
In opening western education to the people
OF the Orient.
Our nation was shaped for the work OF
evangeliEation. II has gathered into IL all
the bloods and faiths OF the occidental
world and has moulded them together into
a people out OF which Is emerging the
concrete man. Our evangelizing zeal Is the
zeal OF democracy-the ultimate zeal OF the
west to make men self-determining and
self-governing.

TAKE OVER ANOTHER RAILROAD
leans, but VIII Pay
Damages.

OYSTER Bay, L. l., Aug. 9e-Tt was an
nounced here by President Roosevelt this
afternoon, that the empire of China had
cancelled the rights and concession Of the
Canton -Hankow railroad, operating be-
tween Canton and Hankow in China, and
that, as an idemnity. the Chinese govern
ment would pay to the owners OF the road,
the American China Development company,
the sum of Sc, go, COO
The decision to abide by the determina-
ton of the government Of China to cancel
the franchise was reached at the conference
yesterday between President Roosevelt and
J. Pierpont Morgan. the frm Of which Mr..
Morgan is the head, controlling the prop
erty.
The announcement Of the decision was
received in the form Of the following on
cial statement:
After full discussion with Mr. Morgan
it was decided to accept the offer Of the
Chinese government to pay $675O,O0O as an
indemnity for the cancellation of the con-
tract for the building OF the Hankow-Can
ton railway. The imperial Chinese govern
ment having cancelled the contract and at
the same time expressed a willingness to
pay any damage 1t left only the question of
the indemnity and a satisfactory amount
having been offered the stockholders have
agreed to accept the terms.
Mr. Morgan has consulted with the ad-
ministration and shown every desire to do
what American Interests in the orient de-
manded and only consented to the arrange
ment proposed by the chinese government
in view Of the fact that the attitude Of the
Chinese government rendered It obvious
that there was no other course that he
could take in regard td the interest Of the
stockholders he represented He could not
finally decide until he had laid the fact
before the president and the president had
stated that as far as he could see no other
course was open than to accept the offer" ."
The development company owned, beside
the railroad already built a concession OF
right to extend 1t 500 miles into the interior
of China. The portional distance between
Canton and Hankow was twenty-eight
miles. The Chinese governments offer for
the whole was reported to be S,OOO000. King
Leopold, Of Belgium, one Of the largest
stockholders of the company, is said to
have opposed the sale but Mr.. Morgan
was reported to favor 1t.

Those of Them who Desire Indepen-
dence Given Hearing by the
Taft Party.

MANILA, August 29.-Tne marble hall OF
the municipal building was crowded all
day by followers of the agtatOrs for the
independence of the Philippines who had
been invited by Governor General Wright
to air their grievances against the insular
and federal governments before the visiting
congressman. The meeting was called to
order by Senator Scott of West Virginia,
who acted as chairman during the meeting.
The speakers urged the immediate inde-
pendence of the islands. Nothing new de-
veloped in the arguments, which were the
same as have been put forward since the
civil government was instituted. One
speaker, until lately member of the Hong
Kong junta, maintained that the Filipinos
were better fitted for self-government than
the Greeks, Bulgarians or Peruvians, and
would be willing to accept independence
under an American protectorate or a sys-
tenn Of perpetual neutrality arranged by
the United States with the leading powers.
which would guarantee noninterference on
the part of ambitious powers. The same
speaker said that one reason advanced by
Americans for not granting the Filipinos
independence was their lack of a common
language.
He referred to their dialects and COM
pared the Filipnos with their multitude of
tribal tongues with the three languages
spoken in Great Britain. English, Scotch
and Irish, saying that the nation met with
difficulties in the matter TO languages.
This statement aroused uproarious laughter
on the part of the congressman. All the
speakers were subjected to volleys of ques-
tions by Messrs Newlands. Warren, Hep
burn, Grosvenor, Payne and Cooper, all
finally admitting that they had not given
the subject sufficient study to determine
just how to handle Independence If given
to the Fiipinos.
Congressman Cooper of Wisconsin. in an
interview said:
1t is quite apparent to any one who has
looked into the matter even superiCially
that self government for the Fiiipinos at
the present time is out of the question,
and that of within a few months after the
granting of independence there would be
factional fight, similar to the Agunaldo-
Luna feud, which would give the powers
as excuse TO intervene and divide the
islands.

Of the Illinois Central, reducing the rates
on pine. originating in the southern lum-
Der districts cents and making the rate
2s cents to Sioux City and 80 cents to
Sioux Falls. The Great Northern at once

SHAW WRITES TO CUMMINS

However Friendly.

WASHINGTON. Aug 29.-Another chap
ter in the controversy between Secretary
Shaw and Governor Cummins of Iowa.
growing out of statements in speech of
the former, was added tonight when Secre-
tary Shaw made public the following:
Mr.. Dear Governor Cummins: have seen
COPY of your letter of August 2S as pub
lished. in which you justify quoting me
as saving that the senate had refused TO
consider the French treaty because 1t gives
everything to France and nothing TO the
United States" BY an excerpt from an
editorial comment on my remarks, In which
II is stated that | demonstrated that we
we're offering France a tremendous bargain
and getting practically nothing In return.
You take several rJAes0ns in your letter
in which ] cannot concur do not agree
that public men are bound by editorial
comment, however friendly. Neither do
agree that an expression Of opinion, how
ever erroneous. is a violation of the pro-
prieties of debate. | expressed however,
no opinion whatever concerning the French
treaty in my Des Moines talk, as you would
have observed had you read the report
instead of the editorial comment thereon.
dismissed the subject. stated that by the
terms of the French treaty We agreed to
admit seventy kinds Of French merchandise
at a less rate of duty than we collect upon
the same kinds of goods coming from any
other country and expressly consented that
twenty kinds of American products should

goods from several other countries !
the French treaty. which ! certainly should
not had | thought it gave everything TO
France and nothing to the United States,
as you quote me as saying.
l also stated that some senators thought
II unwise to discriminate against the coun-
try of our principal market In faVor or
another country. As you do not take issue
with any of these propositions, what | re-
gard as a hasty statement in your letter
Is that I Violated the proprieties of debate
when at the most you attribute to me an
opinion with which you take issue, | for
the balance of your speech was more care
fully considered. Certainly, the subject was
more worthy of consideration than any
statement | might have made or any edi-
tnrial comments thereon.
