( There has in fact been strong
propaganda abroad IN favor OF dispos.
ing OF the islands altogether. The
idea of having q two years tour OF
duty In the Philippines is not pleasant
to n great many army officers and
such as do not see any benefit to their
health In this direction would like to
have the United States dispose of the
Philippines in any way II can. It has
been suggested that Japan would be
ready purchaser and that the FIJI.
plnos would prefer Japanese rule to
that of the United States. OF course
there is some question as to where
the money would come from in ia

is possible that she might be willing
to hypothecate her. camphor monop

only unpledged asset she has left
But the cry just now for perhaps a
small but certainly noisy faction
Is to dispose OF the islands in some
way on the score that, they are not
worth keeping and will be an expense
to the United States for many years
to come.

The mystery OF the past few days
at the State Department has been the
coming mission to Europe with which
Judge Penfeld was charged by the
President This has been exploited
as secret mission" and considera.
BILE mystery made of It. The whole
matter has now been disposed of by
the President who explains that
Judge Penfield's mission is not to
Europe but to South America. though
possibly his work may take him to
Europe eventually for a short time.
He is to help the special agents who
are now in the South American fields
to study the trade relations OF the
southern republics as they have bear
ing on European exports. This is a
large question and one in which the
merchants OF this country should be
and probably at some future date will
be much interested. The reports that
have been already received at the
State Department from the special
agents and the consuls in South
America indicate as In fact nearly all
our foreign trade reports indicate
that the American manufacturer does
not want the foreign business. Ger.
tainly the few who have gone after
such trade have done SO in hall
hearted way and have shown a degree
of ignorance as to conditions that
would have meant their financial an.
utilization had they applied such
methods in the United States. Blu,

TONLETT'ER

(From Our Regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. TO-
The date for the meeting for Congress
is drawing near rapidly. and the
chances are that among the ques-
tons that will come up for serious
consideration is that of tariff revis.
ion whether the leaders In the
House and Senate wish 1t or not.
The talk Of revision is in the air and
It is quite possible that the wishes
of the President In this regard will
be forced on Congress after the
standpatters had thought the subject
more than half dead and were making
preparations for the funeral. One
thing that has given impetus to the
talk is that detection OF the Pittsburg
Gazette. an old and tried Pennslylva.
MIA Republican organ. The paper In
question is felt to represent large
and growing sentiment both east and
west and 1t is possible that the devo-
tees Of high protective tariff would
rather see the question OF revision
brought up under such men as Can
non, Payne, Grosvenor and Dalzell
than to wait little longer and have
the question preached in the camp
OF the enemy. So Roosevelt luck
may favor the President as usual and
the matter that is very near his heart
may stand chance of accomplish
ment. II It is considered at all by
the present House and Senate, the
result probably will not be fully sat
isfactory to the country at large.
But the discussion in the present Con-
gress is likely to be an opening
wedge for more effective action in the
future. .-.,,e.,3.,r>
In the same connection, the return
Of the Taft party from China and the
Philippines is awaited here with great
interest Nearly ali the members OF
the party expressed themselves salts
fed while in the islands that closer
| and more generous trade relations
with the United States were desira-
BILE and the Filipinos were certainly
led to believe that something would
be done in this direction when the
party returned to the United States.
When they get back 1t is an even
chance that some at least of the party,
win either discover that they were
misquoted as to their views on Phil
ippine trade or they win lay their
temporary alteration to change of
air. 1t is not likely that the islands,
raising as they do great crop of to-
bacco and sugar. will be given any
better show than they now have at
the United States markets. II the to-
bacco trust and the sugar trust can
prevent 1t. The mere fact that such
action would be highly beneficial to
the whole people Of the United States
as well as to the islanders win Of
course not figure in the discussion.
Local and selfish interests prevent a
