THE NEW PHILIPPINE COMMIS- { THE BIG TREES OF CALAVERAS.

SION.

JUDGE TAFT'S VIEWS.

WASHINGTON, March 6 Senator Perkins presented Senator Bard and Professor Bernard Moses of the University of California to the President this morning, The l'resident congratulated Mr. Bard on his elec tion and Califomia op the fact that the State again had a full representation in the Senate. Mr. Bard thanked the President and informed him that he would loyally support the adminis tration's policy.

Gratifying, indeed, says the San Francisco Call of 5th "ultimo, is the announcement from Washington of the passage by the House of the resolution of Congressman de Vries authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to open negotiations for the purchase of the famous grove of hig trees in Calaveras. Early during the week the measure will be called up in the Senate by Senator Perkins, and there is every assurance it will receive there an attention not less prompt and favorable than in the House.

With the passage of the measure the redemp tion of the grove from the destruction which The President at the same Interview tendered threatened is virtually assured. It is not likely Professor Moses an appointment on the new-the Secretary of the Interior will delay in acting Philippine Commission, which was accepted. upon the authority given him, or that, the lum- In presenting Professor Moses, Senator Perkins berman of Duluth who holds the bond upon assured the President that nearly every college the grove will interpose any serious obsta in the country had indorsed him.

He was averse to talking dispose of them to the Government, and no freely of Philippine affairs, but said that he be- doubt he will gladly do so. If, however, for lieved in the general policy of expansion. As any cause he should be foolish enough to desire for the Philippines, he could say nothing until

He will re-Congress to authorize the Government to main, here until about March 34 preparing him institute condemnation proceedings to acquire self for membership on the commission, and will said from San Francisco for Manila on April 15.

Judge Taft, the president of the new Philip pine Commission, has this to say:

The commission is not organized. Its mem bers have not conferred together. I speak, therefore, for myself alone. I am not now and never have been an expansionist. I have always hoped that the jurisdiction of our nation would.not extend beyond territory between the two oceans. We have not solved all the pro- blems of popular government sa perfectly as to justify our voluntarily seeking more difficult ones abroad. I do not think in this instance that we have voluntarily sought them. Cir cumstances beyond our control, the sequel of the Spanish war, have thrust on us responsi bility for the future government of the Philip pines. The proposition is vigorously denied by high-minded and conscientious inen and by some with a fury of superlative and epithet that is hardly consistent with a judicial attitude or an impartial consideration of the question.

My conviction is that the can investigation of the future historian into the conditions existing at the time of taking each step toward the present situation in the Philipines will lead him to conclude that President McKinley and his administration selected in each crisis the only afternative which a due regard to our national and international obligations would permit.-Call.

the land..

In the satisfaction felt over the prospect of preserving the grove the public should not neglect to give due credit to the energetic men and women of the State to whose public spirit

and action the present good results are prima: rily due. Every notable work performed in this way for the general good is a matter for congratulation. It will encourage further efforts for State improvements by coperation and lead to many results hardly less important than the preservation of the wonderful trees.

A STRANGE STORY.

WASHINGTON, March, zad.

Private information has been received at Washington by mail from Manila that about six months ago a German warship visited the

Sulu islands, and an officer or officers of the M. in the FIRA of Messrs. DAVID SASSOON

vessel endavoured to persuade the Sultan to declare himself and his possessions under the protection of the German crown. The sender of this information says that the Sultan rejected the attempt to get him to repudiate his acknow ledgment of American authority.

While this report would hardly have received credence here a few weeks ago, the suspicion that Germany is behind Spain's attempt to regain the islands of Sibuta and Cagayan Sulu on the claim that they were not transferred to the United States by the Paris treaty falls in closely with the new information. The man responsible for the statements concerning the visit of the German warship to the Sulu group is described as being thoroughly reliable.

No answer has been returned by the Goyern- ment to the representatives of Spain about Sibuta and Cagayan Sulu. An examination of the law and geographical and historical autho- rities is being made by direction of the Secre tary of State to ascertain if there is any warrant for Spain's claim

A statement was made to-day by an official concerned in the matter that nothing has been discovered yet to change the opinion of the department that the entire possessions of Spain in the Philippino archipelago, whether included within the boundaries set forth in the peace treaty or not, were transferred to the United' States.

BERLIN, March 2nd. The Foreign Office, when questioned to-day regarding the cabled report that certain islands in the Philippine archipelago are the subject of controversy between Washington and Madrid, but were likely to become American, replied that Count von Buelow had accidentally

leamed of a difference of opinion between. Spain and the United States as to whether the islands in question were included in the treaty of Paris, and that negotiations in respect to these were in progress.

The official said it was understood that the negotiations were being conducted in a friendly spirit, and he pronounced entirely false the report that Gennany wants the islands.

The speaker in emphatic terms asserted that the present inhabitants of Great Britain were a mere shadow of their forefathers in point of brains and health, Jordan thinks that a nation. that founde its destiny on war must reach a speedy decay. He said a great war saps the vitality of the best blood of the nation. Jor dan deprecated that so many of the best youths of a nation are killed during times of war. He remarked that this accounted for the existence of a weak nation, both mentally and physically. The speaker declared that France, more than any other great nation, had deteriorated. He said war, more than anything had contributed to this sorrowful condition.
