Bold Philippine ScuttlerS
Non Afraid Ship Will Sink
Treaty -Scrapping Senatorial Crew Spend Day Mailing
Amendment Planks and Searching Horizon
for Some Means of Escape.
BY WILLIS FLETCHER JOHNSON, l.. II. D..
Author of "a Century of Expansion"

Author Of - Century Of Expansion,
Washington. Feb S.-The Philippine
scuttlcrs are getting ratified. That Is
the obvious situation to-day. Perhaps
10 is not 20 be wondered AT. after the
Wild katzcnj ammcr of yesterday. II is
not an uncommon experience in the
cold gray light Of the morning after.
Yesterday. with o q Re hurrah, they put
through the ClarlA amendment, itself
amended so as 20 make IL more cyni-
cally mischievous than before. and they
planned 70 put the BILL thus doubly
damned. on its final passage to-day.
But this morning they awoke to find
themselves tagged scrap-of-paper Sen
stors. The fact dawned upon them that
they had done an abominablo thing.
So they with one accord began 20 make
excuses and 70 talk about the weather.
When the time came for the bill to be
put on its final passage il wasn't
passed. Instead, the treaty scrappers
sat quiet as mice and looked longingly
to the others TO help them out. The
result was more amendments.
Senator Lewis. not q treaty scrappor,
proposed that before we cut the isl
ands loose from US we shall lie them
fast forever in bonds Of perpetual free
trade, at least so far as our sales 20
chem, are concerned. and also Tint the
President be authorized TO collect from
them, on the instalment plan, the
money we have spent on them. These
were, OF course, voted down. but at
least they demonstrated that there is
one Senator who would rather be a
humorist than a treaty scrapper.
Senator Newlands, who was a treaty
scrapper, proposed counter irritant
20 Lewis's collection scheme to the eff
feet that before we turn the islands
adrift we shall spend S20,O00000 more
on them. Finally Senator Hitchcock,
not treaty scrapper, offered an omni-
bus amendment designed 10 undo pretty
much all that had been done and turn
everything back to the beginning. Al
which ~ Senate took recess until
tomorrow TO think il over.
The plight Of the Filipino delegates
is half comic and half tragic. Nominal
ly they want independence. Actually
they don't They know that IL would
be ruinous 20 their business Interests
as well as 20 those of most other sub
stantial people in the islands. Yet
they dare not oppose II openly. for If
they did d. might be decidedly un-

healthy for them TO return home in
the present active state OF the bolo
market. SO they keep on ostensibly ad-
vocating measure which they dread
and dctest, and meanwhile are ready TO
fall upon the nccks Of its opponents
and implore them to kill the thing.
They are n good deal like the farmer
who thought he could train fractions
steer by himself getting into the yoke
alongside Of him, and who was heard
TO yell rs he disappeared in the bushes
az the other side OF forty-acre lot:
Here we go, -- - our 1901 soulS'
Somebody head us off,
Equally humorous IS the attitude OF
the Administration, though II savors OF
Gilbert rather than Radicals. Al hrSt
the President disapproved the fixing OF
date for scuttling, and practchIy
forbade the reintroduction OF the Jones
bill In its original form. Yet now ne
is understood 20 approve the clarke
amendment with its arbitrary nNlng OF
still earlier date. Why? Wei, he
wants votes for the shipping bill, and
there is process called log-rolllns
which is not altogether unknown n the
pure air of the new freedom.
SO here is the lovely logic o. the
case:
We must have s50,000,000 for the
promotion Of commerce, and 10 get II
we must sacrifice many times $50 OOO,-
600 Of commerce in the philippines.
To get commerce, destroy commerce
Perhaps we are getting to be TOO
proud TO trade"
Conditions in the islands themselves
ara described as bordering upon panic.
Prices of securities are being badly
shaken. distrust prevails. and not a
few business men are preparing for an
exodus. Nor are these only Americans
and Spaniards. Native Filipinos dread
the withdrawal Of American control a.
much as any one else. Many who at
FIRST favored independence did so be
cause they fondly imagined that they
would still enjoy American protection.
Now that they realize what the scut-
Ting policy would actually mean they
are half frightened. half indignant
at those who dcluded them, and who'll
lv DESTROYS Of q continuance Of the
present system.
As for the trucul,nt non-Christiar
tribes who constitute Formidable
element. they are sharpening up their
bolos. swearing that they re uhdef
American sovereignty and mean 10

Try 10 impose any other government
upon them. All Of which gives color
i'm another sense 10 the words OF
friend who remarks that the existing
bin ought 10 be renamed a bill tor
raising hell in the Philippines.
