PHILIPPINE ISSUE.
"What will be the effect of the Philip

campaign?" was asked.
"That Is difficult to venture a prediction
upon. I believe that the Idea advanced
by many of our prominent and conscien

be made free, as Cuba Is. should not re

"The Philippines were won by a w-ar

both parties.
"Thehv ate now held by a treaty which
was artilled by votes of both Republican

"Therefore. It appears to me thit the

"The Philippines have no place In parti
san politics. The tendency of their present
government has been to prefer the Fili
pinos themselves for ofllcers. when they
show tho capacity, and when outsiders
are appointed, politics has not been the
governing factor in the choice of them.
"There are more Democrats than Re
publicans In the judicial office" The Fili

The brig ides and regiments of the Jap

Thus, the Second Dh ision is composed of
the Third Brigade, from Kendal, and tho
Fifteenth Brigade, from Shlb ita. Tl? Third
Brigade is composed of the Fourth and
Twent -ninth Infantry regiments, both
from Sendai. and tho Fifteenth Brigade
of tho Sixteenth Infantry, from Shibata.
and tho Thirteenth, from Muramatsu. Tho
headquarters of this division are at Sen
dai. WAR PLANS CHANGED.
Before the war began there was much
talk that the first operations would in
volve the seizure of Masimpo, on the
southeast coast of Korei. with Its splendid
harbor as a great bae. from which tho
main advanco would begin. That involved
marching practically the entire Japanese
Army the whole length of the rugged
Korean Peninsula before even a start was
made at ejection of tho Russians from
Manchuria. But at that tlmo the Japa
nese apparently had figured on having to
fight for Seoul and Korea.
The first naval operations, however, re
sulted so successfully for them that they
were relieved of that hard necessity and
were enabled to make sure of Korea, with
hardly a struggle. Thereupon tho plans
were changed. Tho main body of the
First Arm, or rirst Corp", was landed at
Chemulpo, and, as events continued to
favor them, several thousand of these
men were taken some seventy miles fur
ther by sea and landed at Haliu.
PUSH TO PING-YANG.
The first objective point now was Pins
Yang, where the Japaneso had a sharp
engagement with the Chinese in their war
nine jears igo. To this point troops were
sent at once, and at this writing the Jap
anese occup It in force and have sent
their advance considerably further north,
to Anjou, where the have had several
little brushes with Ru"san "coutsi But,
still, no serious engagement Is in sight
for the near future.
The naval successes have produced a cu
riously mled-up change in the Japanese
plms. They have undoubtedly advanced
the campaign, as a whole, bv a corsider
able time, possibly a inomli or more. At
the same time they have delajed the de
parture of troops from Japan Tin time
It would have taken to maich up from
Masampo, or wherever the might have
landed on the south coast of Korea, has
been saved, and it has not been necessary
to start the troops away from home. As
a matter of fact, if It were not for tho un
favorable weather conditions, which make
landing "till farther up the coaft not only
difficult, but productive of unnccccssary
hardship upon the men, the Second Corps
would probably havo been mobilized some
time ago and already landed north of
Halju, perhaps even up at Chinnampo, or
even in the Korean Gulf
MOBILIZED QUICKLY.
The First Corps was mobilized very
quickly and transported with a celerity
and i-ato thit are models for any lighting
nation The Second Corps has had thir
teen dajs In which to mobilize, and, as fir
as can be judged by one who has no more
facilities for observation than the extraor
dinarily "ccretivo Japanese permit, its
work has been done as well as that of the
First The last of them should be m
Ujlna, whence it Is expected they will de
part within two da"
In transporting these troops over "ca.
the Japanese have tho advantage of a
very short haul. They are not obliged to
keep the men alxjarel ship morn than a
few davs. at the most, and can, therefore,
subject them to more crowding, if ncces
siry, th in would be possible If the Jour
ney weie longer The onlclsl estlmite
of paee necessary per man is two and
three-tenths tons of the ship's d'splace
mo'it. It Is jwpularly lclleved hero In
Toklo, where mighty little exact Infor
mition tomos to the surface, that a great
man troops will bo concentrated on the
Island of Tsushima, in the Korea Straits
if. indeed, the have not been sent there
alread and that when tho time comes
they will be simply marched aboird ship,
as thick rs they can stand, and hustled
iirourd to Haiju, about a da's steam
ing. As a matter of fact, the men already
transported were not so crowded as the
official estimate would seem to imply. On
most of the trc nsports horses were taken
also, or supplies of one sort or another,
so that no effort was made to take .ill the
men they could carry.

There remains Vladivostok, protected by

Thev have alrculv sent some troops' to

toward Vladivostok That will be a "hike"

There is no talk here but the Japanese

to settle the bill they must hold Ru""ian

from the Czar. Port Arthur will not suf
fice ?"o doubt, with most of the Jnpanese.
these is more desire to take Port Arthur
than Vladivostok. Thev feel that it
would be retributive Justice to capture It
from the s. and tho present Indi
cation Is that they will grstlty that de
sire. It has been officially intimited to the
iicvv"pap.r men here that there will b
tnri e principal columns of Japanese
roop-. The course of only one of them
has been Indicated In any wav- so lar.
That is the one now forming In Korea.
MAY INVEST PORT ARTHUR.
It seems to be indicated by the situa
tion that one of the others will land
somewhere on tho LIio-Tung Peninsula,
either to assist the main column bv a
turning movement tow ird Mukden or to
.nvesi i-urt .annur viorc likelv the in
vestment of Port Arthur will bo under

turning movement will be mule That
leaves the third column for Vladivostok,

M F Dunlap. treasurer of the Demi-e-ratlc
Natio:. il Commltti o, and .111 Illinois
banket, who is managing the Hearst cam
pilgn in Illinois, was here to meet some
of his fellow -members of the National
Ceimmltte-) who are arranging tho details
of the convention To a Republic reporter
Mr Dunlap said.
"I'wentv-four counties In Illinois outside
of the Tivent-fouMh District havo se
lected l&S dt legates, of which 171 ar for
Hearst. 143 of this numbr b'ing instruct
id 22 iininstructe-d Hearst delegates, and
tlie preferences of the remaining 17 are
unknown
'Of the tvent-four counties, nineteen
have In en carried "olid for Hearst, and
in time of the remaining live he has 11
out of 19 delegates
'The counties of Mcloan in the Seven
teenth District, and ermi'ion in tie
Hightecnth District, which are included
in this number, in ike the so two districts
absolutely certain for Hearst These two
districts thirty da.vs ago were looked up
on as tile two most doubtful eiistricts in
the State. Of the twentv-rlve congres
sional ulstncts In Illinois, the situation at
this tlmo fully warrants our claiming
twenty-one of them for Hearst, and un
der the unit rule which will be adopted
by the State Convention the lift -four
delegates from Illinois will go to the Na
tional Convention nstructeil for him"
Charles A Walsh, a member of the Na
tional Committee from Iowa and secre
larv of that bod, was In consultation
with Mr. Dunlap and other leading Demo
crats -aIo are in the city- Mr. Walsh,
who is a Hearst mnt said:
"Mr. Hearst is dally galnirg in strength.
I have becn through most of the Middle-
Western Slates.
To carry the doubtful States the Demo
cratic candidate must have the labor vote
behind him. Democrats forget that under
the teapportleinment the center of polic
has shifted. We cannct now win the elec
tion by carrving New York. Connecticut,
New Jersey and Indiana.
"If It were possiblo for Judge Parker to
carry New York, New Jersey, Connecti
cut and the solid South, including Dela
ware, Marvland and Kentucky, and again
assuming the Impossibility that he could
carry Indiana, the Democratic ticket
would te five votes short of the necessary
number In the Electoral college
"Where could Judge Parker obtain any
moie votes than these I have so gener
ously given him, merely for tha sake of
argument? He could not carry Pennsyl
vania or Ohio or Michigan or Wisconsin or
Illinois or any of the Rocky Mountain or
Pacilic Coast States."
M F Ihmsen, secretary of the National
Association of Democratic Club", who was
in St. Louis, said:
"Mr. Hearst his secured the onlv- dele
gates to the National Convention that
have as jet been selected I refer to Rhode
Island, South Dakota and the six delegates
alreadv cho"en In Ohio by congressional
district conventions.
"On Saturday, at the countv conventions
In Arkansas, held for the purpose of se
curing delegates to tho State Convention,
Mr Hearst received indorsements from
counties choosing a majontv of the dele
gates to the State Convention.
"Most of the populous counties directly
lnstructeil their delegates to vote for him.
Out of twenty -five counties heard from,
twelve Instructed I am informed by Ar
Uansvs friends that the delegation from
that State Is certain to be for Mr. Heart.
Senator Pcttigrew- has stated that he be
lieves Mr. Hearst will enter this cltv at
convention tim with 3i Instructed dele
gates I believe the number will be near
ly 4i
"Over In Illinois tlie ca"e is complete.
Mr. Hopkins by coming out for linker
Is iMng what the regular Democrats ot
Illinois, who are the Hearst men, predict
ed three months ago he would do. Hop
kins's adveicacy of Representative Wil

HEARST WILL SPEND SMALL
FORTUNE FOR HOTEL ROOMS.
Reservations Made Arc on W hnlrnRlc
Scale, enrlj Mi Floors
Helnjr. KnKiiKeU.
William R. Hearst has. tl rough his
agents, reserved G30 rooms in St. Louis
hotels, for the period immediately before
and including the week of the Democratic
National Convention. For theso rooms he
will pay K.X0 a day, or a total of SHOiO
In tho event that they arc retained for
six days, which is quite likely.
Two weeks ago one of Mr. Hearst's
agents asked Lvman T. Hay, manager of
the new Jefferson Hotel, to reserve five en
tire Moors for the Hearst managers und
their foiowers, but Sir. Hay refused, on
the ground that he felt it necessary to
provide for numerous other patrons who
had spoken to him for accommodations.
These Include various State delegations,
national convention bodies, societies and
World's 1'alr visitors. The Hearst mana
gers then prcio-ed o take three floors,
and comproml-e was effected by setting
asldo two floors and two-thirds of the
rooms on another floor. Sir. Hay would
not ellscuss the price paid for this whole--salo
accommoelation further than to admit
that J1.600 a day would not be far out of
tlie way.
Floors wn. eight and nine at the
Planters have been engaged bv- Sir.
Hearst also The price for these will
reach something like $2.1f. although
Manager Weaver declined to go into dc
talN as to figures nnd the character of
accommodation;?
It is reasonable to assume, however,
that the agreement provides only for the
utei ot rooms em the European plan, and
that both the Jefferson and Planters will
bo paid extra for meals s-erved to oc
cupants of the rooms.
Neither Sir. Weaver nor Mr. Hay has
knowledge of who will occupy tho room-.
They will probably be thrown open to
Hearst leaders from various parts of the
country. There is no similar example In
the history of nation il conventions of
such lavish provision for the friends and
supporteis of a candidate for nomination.
