Territory.
SARATOGA , N. Y. . Aug. 19. The national
conference on the foreign yollcy of the
United States woa opened heio today with
an address by Henry Wade Rogers of Chicago
cage , chairman of the committee of arrange
ments. Mr. Rogers says that the confer
ence was called to consider some ot the mo
mentous questions in the history ofthe re-
puhjlc. Ho spoke of the war nnd returned
prayerful thanks for the peace now at hand.
While peace had arrived , he said , there were
many serious problems to be con ldcrcd. He
referred to the close friendship between the
Americans and British , which would
promptly lead to International arbitration
and finally to universal peace. The speaker
spoke favorably of the Nicaragua canal ,
which he argued should bo built nnd con
trolled by tbo United States government.
That canal would shorten the distance by
water to San Francisco by 10,000 miles. A
reference to the trip of the battleship Oregon
elicited hearty applause.
Mr. Rogers said the principal problem before -
fore the present conference was that of terri
torial expansion , on which many distin
guished men of national reputation hold
widely divergent views. Indirectly ho re
ferred to the positions respectively held by.
the expansionists and the anti-expansionists.
Whether we should annex the colonies that
arc lost to Spain or control them by carpet
bag goiernmcnts Is a problem that has be
come the most serious to Americans , who
should ponder wisely over It In order to not
make a mistake. Commercial Interests urge
that wo adopt a colonial system , said Mr.
Rogers , "But business alone ought not to
control our conduct. "
for the Canal.
The question of the Nlcaraguan canal was
taken up and Warner Miller of New York
took the platform. Ho briefly spoke of his
persistent advocacy of the canal. Events of I
live last three months demanded Its imme
diate construction and he believed tbo Amer
ican people were universally In favor of U
as were also nil of Europe. He spoke of the |
numerous surveys made of every proposed
route to pierce the isthmus and said the
route by way of the Nicaragua canal has re
ceived the greatest consideration as both
feasible and desirable. Mr. Miller gave the
history of the Nicaragua route , beginning
with tbe administration ot General Grant
and continuing down to the present time.
Had not the canal treaty been blocked by
antagonistic legislation years ago the canal
would iiave already been built and now in
actual operation , rinnnclal distress for a
number of years also hindered the work.
Distinguished senators have for years urged
the building of the canal , but congress did
not act favorably upon it. The Nicaragua
route Is looked upon as the most feasible '
and far preferable to that of Panama. The
canal can be built for from $100,000,000 to
$140,000,000 , as shown by statements
made by experts. Is the canal desir
able ? That the canal would reduce the
distance between New York and San Fran
cisco 10.000 miles Is alone a sufficient an
swer In the affirmative. The railways and
canals of the country have made all sec
tions accessible and available and have lu-
crsased the wealth of the United States.
Railroads have been built In advance of
the population and have carried emigrants
to the western plains , where there Is now
a teeming population developing the broad
acres.
Mr. Miller referred to several canals that
have materially aided In opening up the
country. The Nicaragua canal alone would
save us 10,000 miles nnd would be a great
outlet for those states on the Pacific coast.
The continent Is grldlroned with transcon
tinental roads , but these do not alone af
ford the advantages that could be secured
by a canal. It Is a question of cheap
transportation and the Nicaragua canal
would solve the problem. Within ten years
after the completion of the canal , the popu
lation of the Pacific states will have In
creased to 10,000,000. One of the best re
sults of the Spanish-American war Is that
It will compel the building of the Nlcarn-
guan canal.
The entire morning session was devoted
to a discussion of the Nicaragua canal.
OUcutii Colonial RximiiNloii.
The colonial extension problem was taken
up at the afternoon session. Carl Schurz
of New York spoke at length , giving the
views of the anti-expansionists , whose cause
he advocated. He wan opposed by Judge
P. S. Grosscup of Chicago , who Is an car-
nest expansionist , aud who spoke at great
length.
Judge Grosscup said , in part :
I am among those , Mr. President , who be
lieve that the people of the Unltc.d States
can , without breach of faith to the promises
of our past or anrlouH danger to the ex
pectations of our future , hold permanently
all.or a portion of the territory that has
been occupied by our troops during the prog
ress of the war. I nm ready to go a step
further nnd assert that the obligations of
our duty toward mankind , and especially
toward the particular peoples who have
been drawn within the sphere of our opera
tions and tovuird the future usefulness of
ourselves , demand that wo should hold per
manently so much of these , the captures of
war , as are needed to round out the moral
purposes for which it was inaugurated nnd
the- greater destiny upon which , as n nation ,
we are nbout to enter. I challenge atho
outset the statement , so liberally Indulged
by our opponents , that , In taking thU
stand , thu American people are moved ly
emotionalism or nro deceived by general-
IHes.
IHes.Wars
Wars are the thunderstorms of clvlllra-
tlou ; they never subside without clearing
the atmosphere of much of its sultriness.
The one through which \\o are just passing
seems to have enveloped the people of Amer
ica In u new atmosphere. We see , more
clearly than ever before , the things that in
this world can be called our own and the
things that stand apart from us , the pos
session : ! of others , ourselves and our rela
tions to the other nations of thn world nr
distinct fiom ourselves. The air through
' Jilch we look Is clearer , cur vision longer
.uul the outlines of tin1 future have taken on
a distinctness that leaves us no longer in
doubt which way to take up our course.
Four months ago the eyes of the na
tion were habitually ii.rned Inwardly upo'i
llbtflf , Th" Industries mil commerce of this
continent monopolized us. Our policies \vsto
the politics of America alone running too
frequently , particularly In their financial nnd
commercial phases into a thing ipart from
the corresponding systems of the world. U
VCR , lii my judgment , a providential hand ,
gloved In the smoke o' battles , that led us
out from these confining boundaries to the
mountain spur we now rocupy.
There Is moral elevation in n wide out
look. As a people , we , for the first time ,
look clearly over the empires of the earth.
Without the sacrifice of righteousness or of
honor , but ns tin ministers ot both , the In
vitation comes to take our share In the op
portunities and responsibilities of this
wider field. The Immedlatlo question , the
cno that , by Its solution , will either bring
us In or bar us out of this larger national
sphere , relates to the permanent occupa
tion of our Spanish conquests. The trun
question la not whether Porto Rico , Hawaii
nnd ths Philippines are intrinsically worth
the responsibilities incurred by their occu
pation ; whether their commerce and re-
imircfs will counterbalance the nw danners
that tr" lr acquirement -would Introduce Into
our political system. For I see behind
them , in the horizon toward which we are
hearting , looming up from the Pacific , Innumerous
mountainous Interest nnd opportunity
against which the outlines of the Philip
pines arc but a Immlepock something more
than Islaidd , nothing else than n continent ,
Within Asia ties the Interest nnd the op
portunity , that , by Its largeness , dwarfs
every other prospect. I favor the acquisi
tion of Porto Rico , partly because flic moral
pilrjioso of this war demand1 * that It should
no longer be n political plague spot In .the
otherwise purified Caribbean sea , hut chiefly
because It IB nt the gateway to the Cnrlb-
bean n sea that when the commerce of
Asia Is fully developed nnd the Nlcaraugua
canal opened , will , from both a naval nnd
commercial view , become the rapit Im
portant water on the fnco of the globe. 1
favored the acquisition of Hawaii and I
favor the acquisition of the Philippines , erse
so much of them ns may be needed , solely
because in the new career of commercial
activity upon which , I trust , we are about
to enter , we need , clear across the Pacific ,
o line of naval stations nnd homo ports ;
stations in every sense our own , carrying
under ths toll the American title and over
It the American nag.
I favor the retention of the Philippines ,
or nt least n part of them , that they may
stand is n tangible continuing demonstra
tion of the physical presence of the rspub-
llo In Asiatic waters. The value of these
conquests Is not In their territory , nor their
resources separately considered , Inrt In the
fuel that OB nn entirety they constitute a
chain preclsolv adapted to the expanded
sphere In which we are to cntnr. T care
little for the links. Individually , hut everr-
thlnir for the chain that will , henceforth.
hold us to our opportunities In the far east.
Hnturc of
After paying notice at great length to ob
jections urged by opponents of annexation ,
Judge Grosscup continued :
I come now tovhnt is , In my judgment ,
the most Interesting and Important object
of our future foreign policy. I refer , of
course , to the Immediate futiiro of Asia. It
Is In that quarter that we will find a situa
tion open to American enterprise , a com
merce waiting for American venture , and
eventually ( n people and institutions ready
for n graft from the tree of Anglo-Saxon
civil liberty. Outside of these countries that
nro already European dependencies the pop
ulations of Asia numbers already 400,000-
000 souls.
They have , up to the present time , lived
almost apart from mankind. The breaking
of the seal upon their ports Is to us of Eu
rope and America the discovery of n now
continent. In tbo nature of things great
results must follow. The discovery of un
peopled Ameilca broke up the deepest
foundations of European life ; the opening of
Africa , peopled only by savages , has stirred
every corner of European enterprise , nut
11 hero in the far east , swinging Inward , are
doors that will admit us to one-half of the
desirable territory and one-third of the pop
ulation of the earth. It Is a land without
railroads , without manufactories , without
cities built on modern lines , without fields
cultivated by modern Implements. It bids
for every character of American enterprise.
U lies under the temperate zone , the only
strip of our globe that Insures health to men
now alive and promises Increasing vigor to
men yet to come. Looked at from every ma
terial point of view the Invitation tendered Is
one that no enterprising people con afford to
decline. The break-up In the current of
Asiatic life is at hand. The people of China
ore already beginning to compare their
modes of life with us and to reach out for
some of the phyMcal aids that we are ready
to offer.
Dcforo us In the far cost at this very mo
ment nro opening gates that will in a few
years reveal a market transcending in value
our own and transcending our own im
mensely ' in its potentialities for the future.
The full magnitude of this opening era has
not jet dawned upon the world. The farseeing -
seeing statesmen of Europe see it ; farseeing -
seeing America will soon compass it. Looked
nt from every side Its certainty , its , Imme
diate proportions , its Immeasurable poten
tialities for growth It reveals itself as a
world even more commercially important
than the discovery of America ; an event , in
many respects , without a parallel in the
history of mankind.
Our course seems clear , if we nr in
earnest In our purpose to participate in the
development of tho. cast. We need these
Islands as an Integral part of the naval
force , without the display of which we can
never obtain a proper share In Its com
merce , or protect it after It Is obtained ; we
need them as strategic points in a naval
contest with any power on the earth ; we
need them that wo may draw physically
close to that quarter of the globe in which
wo wish our influence to be felt and our
commerce to expand ; we need them , above
all other considerations , as security toward
PMCC that character of peace bonds that
all nations respect.
Sch ii rz
Mr. Schurz said In part :
"The future policy of the United States
will be largely determined by the peace soon
to be concluded with Spain. We have to
remember that tbe war with Spain was vir
tually Initiated by the resolution adopted by
congress , which declared that the people of
Cuba should be free and independent , then
moved by the sense of duty the United
States demanded the withdrawal of the
Spanish forces fiorn Cuba , that the president
should use the army and navy nnd militia
'to the extent as may be necessary to carry
these resolutions Into effect' that is , to
liberate Cuba and that such liberation nnd
pacification of Cuba accomplished , t'j
United States emphatically disclaiming dis
position of any intention to annex Cuba ,
would leave the government of the Island
to the people thereof.
"Now , I ask the aJvojilcs of1nnncxatlou
among us , whether. If this republic undOr
any pretext annex- . anof this Spanish
colonies , it does no really turn this sol
emnly advertised war of llb > "Mti < irt and hu
manity Into a war of self-aggr.indlzc'ment ?
I ask them what they will have to ray when
our detractors rcp nt against us their charge
oi Iivpocrisy nnd uplfHh motives ?
It these questions cannot be satisfac
torily answered this might be the end of
the discussion. But in these days of ours
it is , perhaps , well to go on proving that
honesty is really the best policy. What
shall we do with these Spanish colonies if
wo do annex them ? Are these colonies or
any of them such that we could with
safety make states of our union of them ?
I challenge the advocates of annexation to
show me a single Instance of a tropical
country In which people of that kind have
shown themselves able to carry on demo
cratic ! government in a manner fitting it
for statehood in our union.
"Let the thought of annexing these
Islands and their population to thp United
States cither as states or as subject prov
inces be abandoned. Let Cuba nnd Porto
Rico be occupied by our military forces
under discreet commanders , until they are
thoroughly pacified nnd until the people
thereof , with such aid on the part of the
United States ns may bo necessary , will
have formed effective civil governments nnd
an armed force of their own for the main
tenance of public order ami security. Let
them , In accordance with the explicit prom
ise given In the resolution of congress , the
control of those islands to bo turned over
to the people thereof ; and let this flual
settlement Include agreements with them
securing to American citizens on the Islands
the fullest protection In their right of nun-
Ing property nnd carrying on nil kinds of
business.
"Tho pioblcm of the future of the Philip
pines Is no doubt much more complicated.
Hut as to the main point that concerns the
United States , I shall say that the same
principle should be adhered tn na In the cass
of Cuba and Porto Rco | that Is. we should
obtain , by means of agreement , the greatest
attainable facilities for commerce and civil
izing Influences with the least political re
sponsibilities and entanglements ; In other
words , wo should not annex , but secure the
opening to our activities of the territories
concerned , "

I.lfc with Their Vlnll.
Under ordinary circumstances ' 'rldny
would have been on off day In the Horti
cultural bulldlne. but knowing that the
florists were to pay the place a visit , the
exhibitors did their best to shlno up their
fruit nnd have everything ready for In
spection. There wcro crowds of people In
the building all of the time , but the big
rush came when the florists and their
friends put In an appearance.
Illinois got to the front yesterday and
put on exhibition some ten varieties of new
pears and a big lot of apples nnd peaches.
Just now the state seems to be devoting Its
energies to making a great display of pears ,
and nil of the orchardlsts are sending In
large quantities. One ot the long tables
originally Intended for apples has been
turned over to the pear exhibitors , who have
used up most of the space thus allotted.
Nebraska has beautified one of Its tables
by having several ornamental designs
worked out In small fruits. The designs are
in the form of wheels , circles and things
ot that kind , while the centers arc filled
with bouquets of sweet pens and geraniums.
Oh the outside of the designs there are
large plates filled with grapes , crab apples
and berries. The state has struck some
thing else that Is new. Superintendent
Youngers has skirmished around and has
made a collection of hazel nuts and chest
nuts which ho takes much pride in showIng -
Ing , as it has always been contended that
these nuts , especially the chestnuts , will
not grow In this country.
Kansas has added to its horticultural ex
hibit largely within the last few days , and
Is now showing some of the finest grapes ,
apples and peaches that have been seen
since the fruit commenced to come into the
building.
Vor the purpose of keeping In the front
ranks , Superintendent Wilson ot the South
ern California exhibit has sent on and has
secured a lot of new fruit from Bishop &
Co. , who reside near his home in Los
Angeles. The shipment arrived yesterday
and contained crystallized fruit , the first
shown. The preparing of this fruit In
California , Superintendent Wilson says , is
a new Industry , nnd until three years ago
the process was unknown. Even now the
method of preparing the fruit Is a secret ,
known only to the fruiter who puts out the
product.
Notwithstanding the fact that the orange
crop of California has been reported short ,
Superintendent Wilson says that he will
show new citrous fruit until the close of the
exposition , and that Instead of his exhibit
growing smaller , It will increase.
DUIInKuUhed VixHorn from Mlnnourl.
At the exposition yesterday Missouri was
represented by President F. M. Sterrett of
the state commission , Prof. Waterhouse ,
who for forty years has held a chair in
the Washington university nt SI. Louis , and
J. R. Rlppey , secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture , and also secretary of the
Agricultural and Live Stock department of
the Missouri commission. They were all
pleased with the exposition , and expressed
the opinion that beginning next mpnth the
attendance will be enormous.
President Sterrett said' that he had not
given up hopes of having a big crowd In
attendance on Missouri day , which he pre
dicts will be put back upon the calender.
He is working with the railroads in an ef
fort to secure a cheap rote from nil portions
tions of the state , and if he is successful
thousands of people will come to Omaha
and visit the exposition.
Will Add to It * Exhibit.
Sedgwlck county , Kansas , is preparing to
send another and more complete exhibit to
the Agricultural department , and It Is prom
ised that the material will be on hand be
fore the end of the month. Through the
Interest taken by the Commercial club ot
Wichita the county Is already fairly1 repre
sented by samples of wheat , corn , potatoes
and other farm products , but since some
of the citizens of that locality have visited
tbe exposition they have gone home to be
gin a vigorous crusade for a more exten
sive exhibit. The result is a determination
to send a new and more exhaustive ex
hibit , and Pat Healy ot Wichita has been
selected by the Commercial club to accom
pany a carload of agricultural and manu
factured products that are being rapidly
collected.

ical make-up of women. It tells how to
treat all the diseases peculiar to women.
It gives the names , addresses , photographs
and experiences of hundreds of women who
have been snatched from the verge of the
grave to live happy , healthy lives by Dr.
Picrce's med'cines. This book she can
