fWASHINGTOX Feb. 12. The memorial
f the federal party of the Philippine
(elands tu transmitted to the aenata this
afternoon by the secretary of war. together
with a letter of tranimlttal by Governor
Taft, In whoaa charge the document waa
given.
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. It further atatea that out of the alxty
province and districts "war axiata in oniy

till la arms allege the lack of a civil re
gime, "agreed upon and promulgated by the
congreaa ot the United Btatea aa a weighty
pretext for their belligerent attitude, which
regime aball determine at once the political
status and civil rights of the Inhabitants
ot the archleplago in accordance with the
treaty of Parla."
Wait CUI1 Bale. '
The memorial then makes a presentation
af the deduction of the federal party that
eongreaa ahould proceed to carry Into ef
fect tta Intention ot defining the future ot
the Phlllpplnee In their relatione to the
United Bute and aaaerta that there 1 ao
reaaoa for sat replacing the military re
glme "by a civil rule of a popular char
acter In conformity with the declaW word
at the never-to-be-forgotten President Mc-
. tanley." '. .
The memorial proper la divided Into two
. parts. The Aret of these ia a petition for
t annexation and a preaentatlon of the foam
of government desired.. In thla subdivision
.Ue .federal party aeta lorth' that It has
taade an exhaustive atudy ot both the FIN
' Jplno and the Americana and eoncludea
that from the maea of data collected It le
the Intention of the two peoplea that they
Should never be disunited."
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. Philippine
Independence, with or without a protec
torate, means a holding of power by all the
-h&i inm.nti of the sect which pre
dominate, and would predominate still for
Bom Veara, until ine anger ui iniumui
toward Filipinos ehall have been completely
calmed, education become general and the
x-Um w Hitve inherited from Una in
nailed. Federation or annexation would
ttl all theae dimoultlea by concentrating
the Interest of the Filipino, people upon
education and labor.
Th meznorlaliata then pray a declaration
try th congress ot the United States to the
affect that th Philippine islanda aa de
scribed in the treaty ot Pari and the sub
sequent convention with Spain, are an In
terra! part of th United States, the said
Fhlllppln lalanda constituting a territory
With the righta and privlllge which th

homing a state of the union.

Th second part of th memorial sets
forth th aspirations of a social and eco

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.

.KNOXVILLE, Tenn.. Feb. II. 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."
Some of the deputies . came In tonight
with their guns over their shoulders. They
state that hs,lt of the men sre still at the!.,

with reinforcements..

Governor Cummin aald In part:
There sre some conclusions which .eam
to me beyond reasonable controversy. 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. If congress flnda
consumers nav a better
that any manufacturer has destroyed the
competition of our own country and that
tne monopoly j -" '- ... . .
it ahould, and I believe it will, withdraw
from the monopolised products the protec
tion hitherto accorded them.

competition and protection, not one. but
both. We ahould keep our eyes eteadlly
unon the great end tariff duties wer In-
ed f ""0 attain-to give the utmost po-
.ibl. work and good wages to the Aniert-
ducers. I am willing to tan as my motto,
I can laborer. We should remember that
the point of view has rhsnged and that
formerly our chief object was. to prevent
the Invasion of our markets, while now It
Is to take and hold foreign markets.
