This CeeaU-y.
WisaixoTon, December I. Tba gen
eral lose of tbe opinions eipreeoed by
Senator and Representatives, oa tbe i
Philippine quest loa, la decidedly ooa-.
servativa. Only a .very few of them ap
pear to hare made np their minds aa to
whether wa should ratal tba islands
permanently, aow that tba treaty, of
peace haa given them to as; give them
an independent government, ander war
protection, or dispose of them to some
other pstloa.
Senator Teller, who was a strong ad
vocate of the annexatioa of Hawaii, aad
who oa general principles favors poli
cy of expansion for this government,
voioed the sentiments of many of his
colleagues when he said: '-Noae of
as know what tba relations of tba Phil
ippines to the United Slatea ought to be.
Wa have not Information enough to
know, bnt In time wa will arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion. I. take no
stock in these lamentable predictions
that wa have entered on the downward
road because wa have departed from our
traditional policy. If a mistake has
been made, we will survive It. The re
public Is treat and can survive many
mistakes. I beard It said that the re
public would ba destroyed when we
apnexed Hawaii, bat that was all mere
twaddle, as most of the present doleful
predlctloni.are. Of course wa want to
go carefully la what wa do aa to making
laws for tbe Philippines. We ought to
have plenty of official Information about
the Islands and the people.and especially
to ascertain If the people are capable of
governing themselves." This sentiment
falls In with that of the President, to
keep the Philippines ander military gov
ernment nntll we know enough about
them to decide Intelligently what ought
to be done.
The antl expansionists ara not work
log the right way to Influence the sentl
meat of intelllicant men. They have
established bureaux In Boston and
Washington from which they are. send
Inar out printed protests agilnst; this
government retaining tba Philippines.
to labor organizations, and other bodies,
asking that they be signed and returned.
These ' protests will, of coarse, In due
time be presented to Congress, as an
expression of public sentiment. When
this method of manufacturing public
sentiment was first nsed It waa vary ef
fective upon Congress, bat since then it
has been worked to death, and often In
the interest of questionable schemes,
and Congress baa learned to place the
true value upon it.
Russia is one of the nations that has
been resorted to be strongly opposed to
oar acquiring possession of the Philip
pines, but that report was as wide of the
troth as aome of the others concerning
European protests that were likely to be
made if we took theMslands, If the Rus
sian Ambassador to the United States
knows what lie Is talking about, and of
that there la not the slightest doubt. In
discussing the completion of .the treaty
of peace, agreeing to all our terms, In
cluding possession of the Philippine,
the Ambassador said: "Russia baa never
entertained anything but friendly feel
ings towards the United States, and far
from resenting the appearance of Ameri
ca in Eastern waters, ahe will extend
cordial welcome."1 He Intimated that he
would have said as much before, only
for diplomatic etiquette, which bound
him to silence while the negotiations be
tween Spain aad the United States were
pending.
