The memorial waa adopted at an extraor dinary aeaalon of the federal party held In Vanlla In November. It aeta forth that the performance of tht obligation of the treaty at Paris which gave the United 8tatea con gress authority to fix tha atatutea Of the rhlllDDlue islands, haa been deferred to thla time becauee of the attack by the Fil ipino upon the sovereignty of the United State, an act brought about, the memorial aye, through a mlaunderatandtng and not through hatred of the American, aover cignty.

The memorial announces aa principles ot this union the formation ot "a more perfect union, an establishment of justice, the in aurance ot domeatic tranquility, promo . tton of the general welfare and the secur ing of the bleeslnga of liberty." The memorial then proceeds: - Opposed to Independence. To make of the Phlllpplnea a colony of the United Statee or to grant Independence to the Philippine would be to hand the Inlands over to disorder and to anarchy, to AaAtninttan and to chaos. In effeot the colonial system Involve the principle of difference of cltlsenahlp. In equality of 5 tents and other consequent abuse and In uatlcea. of all of which we Filipinos were surfeited under the Spanish government, and for thl reason we reject everything which tend toward a colony.

IN DIRECT LINE WITH AMERICAN POLICY Geaeral lafereace I that Enslaad Has Arrived at Fixed Orleatal Policy, aad Malsal Peace ' Is Protected. WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. Mr. Takahlra. the Japaaeae minister to Washington, today called at the State department aad notified Secretary Hay. of the signature ot th treaty between Great Britain and Japan, made public yesterday In England, binding the two nation to Joint action to maintain the Integrity of China aad Corea. The assent of the I'nlted State I not necessary to this agreement, but If It were It would probably not be withheld, for It ia pointed out that, the treaty ia precisely in line with the alma of the 8tate department aa fully disclosed in the notes published by it from time, to time. It is ' again stated that there has been no Joint action between the- United States and the two powers named, yet it la a fact that the preamble to the new treaty might be regarded as almost a para phrase of the poaition of the United State toward the Manchurian question as enun ciated in Secretary Hay' not to the Rus sian ambassador here. It is mad very clear here by .the official statements that the purpose of th United States all relate to commercial 'and Indus trial phases, s Manchurian question. With the political phase we have little concern. The sovereignty of Russia or China over Manchuria "ild be to use an Immaterial Issue, so long a American ships are free to Ball Into Manchurian ports on even terms with Russian shlpa; ao long as American products may be entered In Man- churls at the same tariff rates aa Russian, and so long as American railroad and mining projectors may operate In Man churia as freely as those of any other na Uon. In other words, the United States Is con tending for the open door In Manchuria and It recognizes In this new treaty a valuable support in it contention. It Is understood that the Japanese minister and the British and Russian ambassadors here are fully ac qualnted with this attitude of the United States. Ensllnh Press Applaads It. LONDON, Feb, M. The liberal 'after noon newspaper view the alliance between Great Britain and Japan with mixed feel ings and conservative organs generally ap plaud it. The St, ' James' Osteite (con servative)' expresses "modified surprise st this wide departure front British tradi tional policy," but finds solace la the thought that the policy and Interests of the United State are Identical with those ot Great Britain and Japan, and concludes: Perhaps we ahall find, when, th policy! ot Great Britain Is definitely known, that th United State I formally or informally a party to th. league of peace In the. far east.. At, any, rate, 'no effort should be spared 6 secure It "'adhesion." ' " ' V ' The Westminster Gasette thinks the at. liance caa be fairly termed offensive and defensive, say that - it, therefore,, has a dangerously wide extension and concludes that it looks like a rather hasty answer to European hostility. Baron Hayasbl, the Japaneae minister here, - who signed the treaty In ' behalf of Japan, in an iuterview published today, declared that the Anglo-Japanese treaty wa not directed against Asia, but Man churia was within . it scope. It solely meant to maintain the status quo. The Manchuria Question was at present the subject ot negotiations between Russia and the United States, representing the Inter est ot all the other powers, snd sa the minister trusted the negotiations would bring about a state of affairs In Manchuria which would not be prejudicial to the other power, it was unnecessary to pre maturely dlacuas that question. The present treaty has no collateral In th shape of treaties between Japan and other powers, but it doe not exclude the possibility of a similar ' treaty between Japan and Russia, of course with the full knowledge of Great Britain. ays Its Did It. The Toklo correspondent of the Dally Mall aaaerta the alliance is the outcome of the tour of Marquis Ito. At St. Peteraburg, cables the correspond ent, Marqula Ito sounded the possibility of an agreement and certain rather exacting base ot a suggested understanding were submitted to him. The marquis then pro ceeded to London and frankly told the British government of Russia's proposals, and Intimated that If Great Britain were disinclined to enter on the agreement, Japan would fall back on the Russian offer. These negottatlona resulted in the arrange ment of a rough outline' of the agreement and Marquis Ito notified Rusals ot hla in ability to accept Its proposals. Baron Hay- ashl, Japaness minister at London, con tinues the correspondent, took the matter up and brought the suggestion to a sue cessful conclusion. There la no doubt that th alliance Is very popular In Japan and quotations in tho stock market have advanced. Influential Japaneae regard the agreement aa a guar antee ot peace and aa a check upon Rus tan greed. The Japanese mind is greatly Impressed by the strength and determine. tlon Great Britain ha ahown in South Africa and th beat men In Japan have hoped that the visit of Marqula Ito would reault tn a eloaer union with Oreat Britain, and with Russia alao, if that were pos sible.

A special to the Journal and Tribune from Its Mld dlesboro, Ky., correspondent kays: Six men are dead aad as many more are dying aa the result ot a battle between of ficers from Mlddlesbore and mountaineers. The battle, which waa one ef the most des perate fight of lt kind la the history of mountain warfare, occurred between apd ( o'clock this evening at Le ' Turner's "Quarter House" saloon, three and a halt mile from Mlddlesbore. Last month some mule snd other goods of Turner', were levied on in payment for a debt, and a few nights sgo. It Is alleged, he, with others, went to Virginia, where the property had been taken, aecnrlng what was formerly his and returned to the "Quar ter House." 'Today Deputy unerin watt Thompson summoned a posse of ten or fif teen men for the purpose ot arresting Tur ner at his saloon. ; Turner had heard that an attempt would be made to arrest him and he and his men, fifteen In number, gave the officers a warm reception. Turner's surrender was demanded. His reply was s round of shots. Charley Cecil of MIddlesboro was riding a pony, in plain view of the Turner men. Someone raised a window of the log house and shot Cecil, who tell dead. Instantly the man at the window fell back, pierced by half a doxen bullets. Then the firing began in earnest. The officers scattered, and, hiding behind trees, poured a galling fir into the moun tain fortress. In the fight John Doyle, s railroad man, waa badly wounded, perhaps fatally, and Simon Bean, another railroad man, was shot In 'th hand. Aa soon a Cecil was killed his companions determined to burn Turner's rendesvou ad In th midst ot the battle a man applied a torch to aa ex posed side of the building. Boon th build ing waa in flames. 8everal of the moun tain men came to the window and were Im mediately shot down. Lee Turner and sev eral of his friends, in some manner, es caped and he Is now at Mingo mines, eight miles from MIddlesboro. Several of his men perished In the flames. All sorts of rumors are afloat tonight, one being that Ave Turnerlte were killed by the attacking men and that Ave more perished in the flames. It is also believed that the posse lost more men than 'one and that aome of th MIddlesboro fighters may now be lying dead or dying In some ot the hollows surrounding the "Quarter House."

The corporations which rover with their opera- iiuua ma wnum nation snouia oe national, not atate, corporatlona, and every dollar of stock that ia Issued ahould be paid for In money at par, ao that the capital repre sented in the association would measure I the actual value of the property it ao- uon or competition woum nav. naen a potent Inducement in many lnntanc.es, even inougn ine capu.i wer limn. a to th real value of the conaolidated property. W muat, therefore, look deeper info tha auh. lect. If experience haa taught us anything it ls that there are but two force which can be aafely trusted to regulate prices: First, competition; second, th law. I can not look with complacency upon the at tempt on the part of the government to convtruct a schedule for the sale of manu factured products. Competition la. and until we are leady to enter the laat dttris of socialism, must remain the supreme rule or industrial ill, and it la our Imperative duty to preserve competition against the aaault of consolidation and monopoly. V Ith producing corporations properly limited as I have already suggested I be-' lleve that individual enterprise muat bs chiefly relied upon, and I rest with confi dence upon Us eventual victories. Coatrol of Competition. T cannot, however, leave the question without uttering my conviction that It we cannot create competition by law, we can at least make sure that it la not ex cluded by law. I am a profound believer tn tha ay stem of tariff duties for which the republican party in rwpunsiou ana wnirn conmltutee Its highest title to the a tree tlon of tha American people- I do not allow. however, my devotion to tne principle to blind me to the object It waa ordained I reht to competition than-producer hava I to protection, therefore.
