WASHINGTON NOTES. Nosurptlso was felt in Washington ntllin se,ml-ollloial announcement that tlid U. S, would demand nil of thu Philippine Islands. It hns brou foil fi'oin thu (list t lint such would 1)0 the l ul tl unit i! result. Politics has 'tad littlo or nothing to do with tho decision of tho nd in In 1st nil lor. 10 adopt this policy, t is puhllo oplniitn, tegaidlc" of poll ties, that hits hrutig'.t Jt about. N hen President Mi Ktnlry Murird upon II. at western trip, noithor ho nor any mem ber of his cnbinot had mado up their minds that wo should tako the, Philip pines, nnd nt least ono of them See ivlary Gage was opposed to our tnk. lug nny of the Islands, but when they roUirned to Washington, they had nil about mado up thoir minds that public opinion wns so strongly in fnvor of American ownership of the entire Philippine, group, us the oulylopioal crowning of Dewey's grbnt victory In Manila bay, that no other policy would do.' What thoy heard later nt Philadel phia, clinched that opinion, nnd our ponco commissioners at Paris woro ac cordingly instructed to mako the- de mand. So much for tho adoption of tho, policy. . Whllodt is certain that the policy of American ownership ol tho Philippines will bo popular, it remains to bo ascer tained' whether tho mothed pf obtain ing that ownership will meet with such genotnl approval. It must bo under stood to .start with that no official an nouncement haB been mado concerning that method, but that enough has boon said by thoso who ought torkuow to causo it to bo believed the consent of Spain will bo obtained either by a di rect payment of money to Spain, or by the assumption of about 910,000,000 of Spanish bonds, issued for improve ment in tho Philippines. At first glance thero will naturally bo opposition to tho U. Si paying $40,000,000 or" any othor sum, for undisputed possession of torrltdry, 'which has already btcu conquered by forco pf arms. But many will doubtless accept tho argu ment that the Philippine bonds, which were not, as woro tho Cuban bonds, issued to mnku war against tho natives of thu islands, but for purposes of pub lic Improvement, should bo considered a lien oh tho island, regardless of ownership, nnd that, it would bo, an in justice, discreditable to n great country like tho U. S. to take tho islands from Spain nud leave that country to pay in debtedness incurred for public im provement! on them. The1 question is likely to bo much discussed, as soon as it bocomos absolutely certain upon what terms wo aro to acqulro tho Philippines. , At tho Headquarters of tho republi can and ilemocratiq congressional com mittees in Washington, the claims nro about equn,l ns to which party will elect a majority ot tho next house, but the opinion outsldo is that tho republi cans will retain control of tbo houso by a reduced majority. Sotuo democrats say that thoy would prefer that tho houso would remain republican, bo cnuso if their party carried it, thov would havo to share in tho responsibi lity of tbo administration, in inau gurating tho oxperimont of n colonial polloy, or tako tho responsibility of hampering that policy, nud that thoy would prefer doing ueithor tho next two years. If that sentiment exists to any extent among tho voters of tho party, thero Is no doubt of tho result of tho election. Among tbo noted officers now in Washington, are Gens. Miles, Wheoler, Loo, and Lawon, of tho army, and Capt. Robloy D. Evans, and Lieut. Hob son of tho navy. Tho latter officer is hero to report to a board of tho chiefs of bureaus of tho navy department, on his work on tho wrecked Spanish ships, This board will decido whothor tbo work shall bo continued. Hobson's confidence in success in raising tho ships is not shared by all tbo naval officials. But if publio sentiment is consulted, thoy will not stop Hobson's work, on nccount of its cost, if thoro is nny certainty of his succeeding, in sav ing tbo ships. Thoso ships would, in tho oyos of most pooplo, be worth moro than now ones would cost, its object lessons in tho patriotism, bravery ond markmanship of thu American sailors, and if they can ho saved, neither cost nor jialously of Hobson should bo allowed to stand in tho wav. A rather curious request has been mado of the uavy department by tho Aomo Wrecking company of San Fran cisco. This company wnnts to raise tho battleship Maine, and bring her to tho U. S., claiming to hnvo a method by which tho work can bn accomplished, and inks nothing mote of tho govern ntcu' than permission to do the' work nt its own expense. The company states in Its request thai if the govei n mont wishes tho ship nfter it has been brought safo to somo U. S. harbor, that it will not ask moro than the usual sal vago payment through condemnation proceedings. It is not supposod that tho goVorumont would euro to buy tho wroek. In fact, tho real object of tho company Is to raiso tbo Maino in order thatsho may bo exhibited In this coun try, although nothing of tho kind Is said in its letter to tho navy depart ment. According to tho request of tho company, it Intonds to blow tho mud from under tho wreck, with streams of water under high prossuro, nnd thon pass chaius undor and attach thorn to framework on each side, connected with a system of stool air-tight barrels. The gradual winding up of thoso chains iscoupted upon to raiso tho wreck. The Best Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on to the affected parts is superior to any plaster. When troubled with a pain in the chest or side, or a lamo hack, give it a trial. You nro certain to be moro than pleasod with tho prompt relief which it affords. Pain Balm is also a certain euro for rheuma tism, For snlo by H. E. Giico. LINE. Weather ploasnnt.
