mWUM LETTER,
Endorsement of the President's
Philippine Policy by the
Senate.
Senator Hanna and Ship Subsidies.
Washington, Jan. 14th. Friends of
the army reorganization bill are disap
pointed that the measure has not yet
reached a vote in the Senate, but they
find some cousolation in the positive
promise of leading senators that the
bill will be pas?ed this week. The de
lay is particularly annoying to Sec
retary Root, because it keeps all his
arrangements for bringiug the volun
teers home from the Philippines up in
the air, so to speak.
When the house took up the river
and harbor bill it was' confidently ex
pected that it would pass after about
two days debate, but the general de
bate only came to an end today. The
debase has consisted largely of Com
plaint of the leaving out of projects in
which members are interested.
Eulogies on deceased members are
usually of the perfunctory order in
congress, but those on the late Senator
Davis were not in that class. Mrs.
Davis and a party of friends occupied
seats in the executive gallery during
the delivery of the orations, of which a
Veteran newspaper man said : "In re
cent years in the senate, no more
beautiful, heartfelt and eloquent eulo
gies have been pro nounced upon the
memory of any senator."
The D. B. Hill boom for 1904 reach
ed Washington forty-eight hours ago
in charge of Bird S. Coler, Comptrol
ler of the City of New York. That it
is not a secret boom may beseen from
Mr. Coler 's very frank reply when
asked what brought him to Washing
ton : M have been seeing democratic
senators and representatives in the in
terest of David B. Hill's nomination
for president. I believe Mr. Hill will
be the nominee in 1904. I think he
will have the support, of democrats pf
every state in the IJniojj..H-iriepids
have taken hold of this matter in ear
nest, and are going tp push his claims
for the nomination with great vigor
from this time on. I have not beard a
single objection to Hill's nomination,
and I have talked to many leading
democrats from different parts of the
country. On the contrary what I have,
heard confirms me in the belief that
Hill will be the next democratic nomi
nee for president." The invasion of
the Hill boom seems to have taken the
thick and thin Bryan democrats by
surprise. J neii private . taiK indicates
that the Hill democrats and Bryan j
democrats may indulge in a little fig- I
urative throat cutting before long. I
The Burleigh reappointment bill on-
ly needs President McKinley fs signa
ture to become a law, and that it will
get during the present week. It went
through the house by a majority of 63
and through the senate without a di
vision. At a single suttiBg the house passed
170 private pension bills, which was
the largest, number disposed of in one
day since the fifty-first congress.
By a vote cf 32 to 19, the senate has
again put itself on record in favor of
the Philippine.policy of President Mc
Kinley. The vote was on an amend
ment to the army re-orgauization bill
offered by Senator Hoar, providing
that no further military force shall be
used in the Philippines, except such
as might be necessary to keep order in
places already in the peaceable posses
sion of the U. S. The effect of the
amendment, if it had been adopted,
would have been to encourage the Fil
ipino rebels to gather a big army in
any portion of the islands not actually
garrisoned by our troops, without fear
of molestation ; while supposedly in
the interest of peace, such an amend
ment would actually operate to pro
long hostilities. History has taught
that rebellion cannot be put do wo by
pacific legislation ; that those who ap
peal to arms against teh powers that be
must be whipped into subjection. That
has been true even in advanced civi
lized nations Any other method of
ending the revolt of the semi-barbar
ous Filipinos would convince them
that the Americans are afraid of them.
Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, stated
the case in a nutshell when he said of
the' democratic pretense of believing
that the president would abuse the dis
cretion vested in Tiim by the' army bill
to increase the army when necessary :
."If we could eliminate, politics and ar
gument for political effect from this
chamber for a single day, I believe it
would be the : unanimous sentiment
that there should be some flexibility in
the army." . '
Senator, Hanna usually declines to
take notice of charges made against
him by unfriendly newspapers, but he
made an exception of the charge that
he had a personal interest in the pass
ing of the ship subsidy bill, and au
thorized the following explicit dejiial :
' I say that the assertion that I am in-
terested in any way or in any eompa
! ny that has given orders for the con
! struction of colliers through which it
i is expected to participate in the bene
fits to be derived from the passage of
the shipping bill is absolutely false and
without foundation. My sole interest
in the shipping bill is that of an Amer
ican citizen who honestly believes in
the upbuilding of the merchant ma
rine." THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The United States a World Power in
Money as Well as Politics.
Mo t marvelous and impressive has
been the progress of this country since
the triumph of sound money in 1896.
In a little over four years the United
States has become a world power in
finance as well as in politics. It has
become a great factor in. international
affairs, and almost the cont roiling
voice in international markets. Its
traditional policy of indifference to
what the rest of the world did, pro
vided America was left alone, has
been reversed, and in the West Indies
and the Pacific we have become the
governor of colonies, while in China we
have joined the other powers in sub
duing that Oriental empire. Our
commercial expansion has been even
more remarkable than our political.
We have become the greatest export
ing nation. We have been able to
produce better and cheaper than other
manufacturers, and he products of
our forges and factories as well as the
products of our farms are going abroad
in vast quantities. We are rapidly
taking the place so long occupied by
England. Europe has become our
debtor. Instead of our borrowing
from England and Germany, we are
lending to those great countries.
England, Germany and Russia have
Iplaced loans in New York: American
credits abroad are very large, and are
likely to be increased by shipments of
gold to relieve European necessities.
Our financiers are solving problems
and are engaged in enterprises vaster
far than was dreamed possible a few
years ago. They have expanded with
the times, and appear equal to their
increased responsibilities.
The Crucible Steel Company m of
America has decided to build a rolling
mill and open hearth furnaces to pro
duce more steel to keep pace with the
increasing trade. The company al
ready has four plants which make the
special steel used. The new plant will
cost $1,500,000 and will be situated ei
ther at West Elizabeth, eighteen miles
from Pittsburg, or on Brunot's island,
which is in the Ohio river, within the
limits of All eghpny.
The Jersey City Journal has been
commenting on export and import sta tistics
and the growing balance of
trade in our favor. It says :
' The progress made since the Mc
Kinley administration put an end to
hard times and started the commerce
of the nation on the road to prosperi
ty is a record to be proud of. From a
national deficit to a surplus, from a de
clining foreign trade to figures which
eclipse all other nations, from hard
times to protperity. It is a fitting pre
lude for the beginning of the new cen
tury, and the inauguration of a trade
movement that will make the Pacific
Ocean the scene of commercial activi
ty that will rival the Atlantic Ocean's
record of the last century."
The coffee exchange enjoyed unusu
al prosperity last year. Its total sales
were nearly seven and a half million
baes against nearly four and a half
million the previous year.
The Richmond Locomotive and Ma
chine Works recently received an or
der from the Wabash Railroad for fifty
locomotives, the contract price of
which will aggregate about $650,000.
There died in London last week in
poverty a character once well known
in New York, London and Paris
Henry A. De Lille, who married Olive
Logan years ago. He, was Connected
with several New York newspapers.
While in Paris he greatly aided in a
confidential capacity Napoleon III.
One of his sons- was formerly consul
at Sheffield, and he was made a Chev
alier of the Legion of Honor by Napo
leon. I Poverty and- illness made his
closing day tragic
Another death last week was that of
James Defoe, the last male descendant
of the author of' Robinson." He was
82 years old and a pauper.
