Its diplomatic agencies must, therefore, be greatly en- larged, strengthened and’ improved, while a powerful navy, up to date in all points of construction, armament, general efficiency and readiness for instant service, becomes of equal necessity. Our Philippine posses- sions will not merely emphasize the urgent oceasion for such innovations. They will make. the innovations greater and more burdensome, while at the same time com- pelling others which we could have done without. The Philippines inevitably make our navy larger than {t would have to be without thém—they Inevitably enhance the extent and the quality and the cost of the diplomatic establishment with which we must provide ourselves. But besides ag- gravating the weight and the expense of the necessary burdens Invoived in our as- suming our true place among the nations, the Philippines add burdens of their own. There will be no respectable government of the fslands until they are furnished with a large force of highly educated and trained administrators. The first duty of every na- tion, as already observed, is to {tself#is the promotion and conservation of its own in- terests, Its position as an active member of the international family does not require it ever to lose sight of that principle. But, just weight being given to that principle. and {ts abilities and resources and oppor- tunities permitting, there is no reason w the United States should not act for the 1 Nef of suffering humanity and for the ac vancement of civilization wherever anc whenever such action would be timely and effective. Should there; for example. be a urrence of the Turkish massacres of Ar- ulan Christians, not to stop them alone cr in conce others, could we do s without imperiling our own subs terests, would be unwortt tent with our ii no ively, without c the affairs of the world at lar; Along with the Monroe 45 in the internal r which our changed Inter ade will undoubtedly tend to has heretofore been cons alliance betw United any purpese or any time, was some- i not to be thought of. To give a thing a bad name, however undeservedly, is to do much to discredit it, and there is no doubt that the epithet “entangling’—almo: invariably applied—has contributed lars to make alliances popularly and odious. Yet there may be “alliances” which are not “entargling.” but wholly ad- vantageous, and without the French al- Hance American independence, if not pre- vented, might have been long postponed. Tt has been a prevalent notion that Wash- ington was inimicai to all alliances as such, and left on record a solemn warning to his countrymen against them. Yet Washington clearly discriminated between alliances that would entangle and those that would not, and between alliances that were permanent and those that were temporary. We now find ourselves actually caught in an en- tangling alliance, forced there not by any treaty or compact of any sort, formal or in- formal, but by the st of the inexorable facts of the situation. n alliance that entangles, t use we might be, and sho} be, friends with all the nd bee: our ne ary intimacy with and depen dence upon one of them is certain to excite the suspicion and ill-will of other nations.

To a Politician Things Political Are Most Absorbing. “Whenever T abandon the ‘queen city’ by the lake to enjoy the beauties of Washing- ton,” said Frederich Hopkins of Buffalo 1o a Star reporter, “I feel, as I look upon its brave men and pretty. women, that the former are not like the men of other large cities of this country.

Practically all that was determined by the republican senators at their conference, which lasted until nearly 6 o'clock yester- day, was that the bill making an appropria- tion’ of $2,000,000 for the relief of Porto Rico should be put throygh the Senate as speedily as possibile. Senator Foraker explained many features of his Porto Rican bill and was frequently interrogated, so that he was on his feet a great deal of the time. He was questioned by different senators, most of whom wanted to know the effect of different provisions of the bill. It was intimated that the bill could be amended if not satisfactory, and senators opposed to a tariff on Porto Rican products sald that there would not be the least objection to passing the government bill. Mr. Elkins Counsels Delay. Senator Elkins said that he favored leav- ing not only the question of revenues, but the government of the island as well to the President. He thought the island would be much better off under military rule for the next two years than under any gov- ernment that could be devised by He particularly counseled delay. know a lot more about this whole question in a year or two years than we know now,” he said, “and the other islands will be as well taken care of during that time as they would be under any legislation we may pass.” Senator Elkins said that haste was not necessary and he earnestly supported the proposition to delay the tariff bill, and Said he thought the governmental bil might well be delayed, too. Senator Foraker said that the question of dealing with the islands was before Con- gress, and he for one thought METeSS should act. The committee on Porto Rico had given a great deal of time to the sub- ject and felt sure the bill prepared would meet all emergencies. Need of Immediate Relief. There was genera! unanimity as to the wisdom of providing for immediate action on the $2,000,000 rellef proposition, the opin- ion of ali senators being that that measure should be passed for humane reasons. There was some effort to have the appro- priation bill, the House tariff bill and the, Senate bill considered at one time. but thi as antagonized as likely to result in too great delay in affording the relief the ap- propriation bill was intended to give. Wants Protective Principle Retained. nator Platt of Connecticut expressed himself as firmly convinced that the prin- ciple of a-protective tariff in the interest of the industles of the United States should be sustained in whatever was Gone. He showed a leaning toward the House tariff veral other senators who > of them expressed the optinio that this measure would command the vote: of two-thirds of the members of the cau- cus, if tested. Members of the Porto Rican committee were not willing that the gov- ernmental features of their bill shou'd be abandoned at this time. Senator Foraker expressed the opinion in this connection that the Porto Ricans themselves would not object to the tariff provided by the House bill, and said that some of the residents of the island had even gone so far as to that they would cheerfully accept per cent rate, But, while this was he would have a civil government prov as a concomitant of the tariff proposition. Mr. Hoar Favors Deliberation. Senator Hoar talked at con: length about the legal phase pf the ques- tion, i the opinion that e Se ate could not act with too great delibe: tion in considering so momertous a sub- ject. Senator Warren agreed with Mr. Hoar n this latter point. He had, he been favorable to absolute fi tween Porto Rico and the United proper, but he had listened with inte: and profit to the arguments on the oth i not believe that the su means, at everything was to be gained and % by proc ing deliberate! ily in view of the fact that the en- problem was new.
