SAN FRANCISCO. Aug, 30.--Con-
gressmau Hull of Iowa, chairman of
the house committee on military af
fairs, who has arrived here from a
live months' tour of China, Japrn and
tho Philippines, Is deeply Impressed
with tho possibilities of the new
American possession) in uio uncut.
Ho says:
"If I was a young man I" don't know
whero I would rather no than
to tho Philippines. For a man of
brnlns and Industry the Islands open
a vast prospect In moot every lino of
business for one who has tho grit to
go there and stick to It.
"Tho mineral, agricultural and tim
ber resourccsof theso Islands consti
tute a field of commercial enterprise
that Is practically unlimited. Of course
the present conditions of brigandage
make It exceedingly unsafe for people
to settle In tho IslannB away from tho
protection of tho military postB. But
tho people, or the great majority, de
sire peace and safety and are doing
nil they can to help the troops attain
this end.
"Of course, it Is Imposstnie to iiiuko
nn Anglo-Saxon out of nu Oriental,
therefore tho Filipino will probably
never bo nn American citizen In the
broad sense that 1b understood by all
that term conveys to the mnn born In
tho United SttitcH of white parents.
But rut soon as ho gets n sufficient
education and becomes n little more
impregnated with our Ideas and loses
some of tho Ulcus acquired by a 300
years' association with the Spaniards,
tho Filipino will be u citizen In spirit,
pntrlotlBin, Industry nml education and
will bo worthy of participating to the
fullest extent In nil the benefits of
this government.
"Of course, wo will hnvo to govern
them with llrmnesa ns well 113 with
kindness. I think that 40,000 troops
Is about tho right number to keep
there for soino years to come."

"WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. The
French nrabascodor has withdrawn
from Constantinople becauso tho sul
tan has attempted further delay of the
settlement which the ambassador, M.
Constans, urged.
In official circles here this announce-
mont, received today, Is feared to por
tend tho dissolution of the concert ot
European powers under which tho In
tegrity ot Turkey was guaranteed. By
tho treaty of Berlin all the great pow
ers of Europe subscribed to an agree
ment to refrain from nny net that
would tend to tho destruction of tho
Ottoman empire. This action was tak
en to forestnll what was conceived,
to bo tho designs of Russia to seize'
on Turkish territory and Russia it
self was led to subscribe to tho ngrec
ment by forco of circumstances. Al
though several times severely strained,
notably by such events as the last war
between Turkey nnd Greeco, this pact
has so far endured without amend
ment, but It Is apprehended now that ,
It tho action of France 1b carrlod out
to tho oxtremo condition each of tho
other signatory powers will feel oblig
ed in self-protection to disregard the
agreement nnd press upon Turkey tho
vast financial and other claims that s
havo accumulated in tho past quarter
of n century, with a result ot dis
rupting the present Turkish govern
ment.
