The Republican party, he believed, would
settle this questloa b Insisting that the
reunlioa ol the Philippines is a matter
ot business profit. '
"Thlt," added the Senator, "Is a
practical age." Wa are going to deal with
this question ea the basis of dollars and
oenta. If the American people believe
that the Philippines are going to help as
tbey will never let the Islands to. If.on
the other hand, tbsy find that the Phil
ippines mean a constant drain and small
return, you will Bud the verdict of the
people to be against permanent retention.
'Neither religion nor sentiment will
have much Influence in determining the
verdict The great question, Will It pay?
If we can show the country that It will,
as I think we can, the American flag will
never come down from the Philippines."
What sort of government should be
devlsedr
"Throe suggestions will undoubtedly
be made. The first will be to abandon
the talands entirely to the natives. I do
aot believe this will meet the approval
ot the American people. -The second
will be to seize the Islanda In a firm grasp,
aauring the people that we mean to give
them a better government than . they
could enjoy under any other flag or oonld
create for thekrselves, but that we are
the masters and propose to remain so.
"The thlid proposition will be to throw
s loose string around the people, hold'
ing their seaports and customhouses
with our nsvy, but allowing them abso
lute freedom In their Internal affairs.
This freedom, In my judgment, .would
soon become auarchy, and we would
have to rule aayway. : I should ssy that
the second proposition is the one that
ought to be adopted. The firmer we are
In our administration the more respect
will those people have for us.
"As to the form of government, con
tinued Senator, Carter, "I should say
that a Governor ought to be appointed
by the President, with a council also
selected by him. There might be a Fili
pino Legislature, composed of promi
nent men from each ot the Islands, to
discuss questions and advise the Govern
or. I do not approve ot a commission
I think tbe authority ought to be vested
in a responsible bead, not spread through
several commissions." .

London, Sept. 4. A dispatch from
Johannesburg to Reuters Agency defi
nitely announces that the reply of the
Transvaal to the British communication
withdraws the franchise proposals and
screes In principal to a conference at
Cape Town.
The afternoon papers take the view
that if the foregoing dispatch is correct
President Kruger's reply is ominous as
It wss palpably made to gain time. Sir
Alfred M liner s suggestion of a further
conference at Cape Town was instigated
with the sole purpose ot considering de
tails and for the euforceinenvef the con
cessions offered by the Boers.
.If these concessions are withdrawn
there can be no object from a British
point of view for the parleying.
The ouly Inference to be drawn la that
the Buur have taken Mr. Joseph Chan
berlslu, the Secretary of State tor the
Colonies, at his word in a broader sense
than be intended, and that they now
want to beglu negotiations over again
on an entire new basis." - ,

oats are coming np badly, and fall plow

counties springs, walls, and branches

Cotton is opening quite rapidly .picking

State, and new bales are coming Into

short top crop, the previous damage by

fodder were cured In the cenlral-aasl

a good crop. The week waa too dry for
turnips, which are coming up poorly.
