Lohore, Punjab, April 17.-That Great Britain's attitude toward Afghanistan in connection witn liussian deeiirns on Herat does not meet with approval at Cabul ' (the capital of Afghanistan) is proved by an autograph letter published with the Ameer's consent, in which, after referring ty the various rumorsj he adds: - "Wow, wnen ATgnanistan is : over whelmed on all sides, the British govern ment does not seem to take any interest, but enjoys the pride of aloofness and reserve. Whenever I have suggested a check to Russian aggression, I have had no response from the government of India, except the suggestion that Afghanistan might consent to the ' construction of railways and telegraphs. This is impos sible, as the Afghans consider that such a step would mean their ruin. Notwith standirg all these troubles, I have proved for the past twenty-one years the firm ally of Great Britain. But now, at the last moment, I must inform ray powerful ally, the government of India, that the present is the time for deeds and not for talk." C H. Mebakc.

X (JU Senator Hoar made;: a speech in the senate Tuesday on the Philippine ques tion. 1 f ' Mr. Hoar took for his text the reso lution of Mr. Beveridge, of Indiana; de clarinir that the . Philippine -Islands' are territory belonging to the United States ana mat tne, umtea otates must govern the archipelago. '1. Adverting to the authority to be found in the declaration of independence for ex pansion, in the course of his speech, Mr. uoar aeci&rai: : "There is expansion enough In it. but it is the expansion of freedom and., not of despotism; of life, ) not of death. V Never was such growth In all humai history as f.liot. . f-nm fVi . baoH Thririr AHotfawmnri planted. It has covered '.the Continent. It. ii nn hAf.h uoi I r. ri a a aa irort HnnfH America. .

Ours is the expan sion 01 Aaron Burr, it is oesuned to as short a life and to a like fate." "J - Mr.Hoar discussed at crreat lenirth the Filipino risinsf and the causes which, 'iri his opiniohled up to it.' : He made an earnest and vigorous defense of the Fil ipinos, especially of Aguinaldo, who, he declared, was "brave, honest and Da- triotic." In the course bf his eulogy of Agumaiaone saiar . 1 tin -' YHe deserves to be remembered with that small band who have given life and everything dearer than life to their coun try m a losing cause, iie snail live with Kossutb., with 00m raul, with Joubert. with Emmet, With1 Egmont and Horn, with Nathan Hale, with ; Wa ren. with all the great mar tyrfi of hist&ry , whose blood has been tne seed 01 tne church of liberty." " -v 1 Mr. Hoar maintained , nis well known position that the Filipinos had achieved their independence, that the United States bad made them its allies and was bound to recognize their independence, and that they had proved themselves fit for such independence and capable of self-government. As one bit of their statecraft, he declared: i - - 'The state papers of Aguinaldo, the discussion of the law of nations by his attorney-general, the masterly appeal of Mabini are products of the' Asiatic mind. They are not unworthy of 'the Asiatic mind, the vehicle ttrougb'wbteh came to us the scriptures of the old and new, tes tament, the poetry of David the elo quence of Isaiah, the wisdom of Solomon: the profound philosophy of Pahl.' ! i i J The t senatoj; 1 presented an elaborate ddenseofVthTUipihoskgainstl.the charge that they . were r responsible for the present war, fully justifying their action in resisting the- American forcep'. Continuing, Un Hoar said: i -s "U to thiak as I do in regard to the interpretation of the constitution in re gard to the mandates of the moral law or the law of nations, to which "all meh and all nations must render obedience; in regard to the policies which are wisest for the conduct of the state, or. in regard to these facts of recent history . in the light of which we have acted or are to act hereafter, be treason; then Washing, ton was a traitor; then Jefferson was a traitor; then Jaokson was a traitor; then Franklin was a traitor; then Sudner was a traitor; then Lincoln was a - traitor; then Webster was a traitor; then .

' ' " As to what he would do with the Phil ippines, Mr. Hoar said: "1 would declare now that we will net ta!: a these islands to govern them against th r will. : -'..c r:;.V, "I Would reject the cession of 'sove re!jnty which implies that soverc'nty m.y bebot-htaad sold end delivered wi: 'iout t'r.a consent of the people.

"The constitutional question presented by the proposed amendment is one that must be determined by the judgment and conscience of ; each individual voter. Therefore, we do not makei it a party question. We state the evils and dan-; gers and leave the voters of all parties to pass tneir verdict m tne ugnt ox tnese facts." The question is above party and noione should be more active and anx ious in our judgment to defeat itthan the rank and fie of the Democratic party. h The platform claims the Populist party Is a whit j man's party and proposes as a solution of the race question to disqualify negroes from noldingomce... 4 , S The platform severely denounces the election law.
