as lias arisen froin the abnormal ooodl.
tlons of the S()anlsliAmeriin war."
"What are yoir views on expansion,
senator?"
"If It means or contemplates our se
aring as tbe trade we can, you may
quote tn as toeing strongly In favor of
It. I tvllove that It was our bounden
duty to take ftxnn Spain tho Philippines.
I was sorhrialy opioe4 to permitting
(.ernuay to have them. As to the oaar
airter of tlielr conrol, the situation Is
I still In a chaotic state and It would be
difficult lo deduce any logical conclusion,
r am averse to the policy of establish,
lust a government In the Philippines com
posed entirely of American c!t'ns, and
In dlr-oot opposition to die wishes of
their pejte. They should be privileged
In every particular lo organise their own
government. But the United States
should hare International control, and
ebould It so develop that the FlUplnos
fall ln exercising the requisite authority,
then It should be the prerogative and
duty of Unole 6 am to come to the re sous.
Still, I am of the opinion that the war
was unoalled for. I favored the treaty
of peaie, and persistently urged that It
be ratified pro-nptly. In such aa event,
tKe present trouble would have been
averted."
"WW you state your opinion of the
MoKtnliy administration T"
"I can hardly testify to Its being a
suooes. We were told last spring when
we left Washington that th. war would
be settfled ln SO days time. It appear
now that we are decidedly iworse off than
we were then. I read In this morning's
paper that Becretary Roof purposes send
ing 10.000 men to the Philippines. If It
Is the Intention to continue Arhttng the
insurgents, I don't believe that 40,000 men
are enough. There should be at least
60.000 sent over, and It Is questionable tf
that number would serve to meet the
emergency. In short, if the United States
government contemplates carrying on
the war In the Philippines It should do
It In such a wsy at to effectually cruh
lh raHllon at one. Thrn steps should
be takni to organize the people Into a
government of their own and get them
to work. Of oourw It s not to be ti
rected thit 111-7 wlH oreatt a common,
wealt'i or body polltlo In keeping with
the excellent form of sovereignty pro.
vailing here. But they are entitled to
uch government at they themselves can
maintain. That la the republican doc
trine. For ua, however, to set up a got',
ernment In their behalf would be to limp
ly Imitate a monarciitcal Idea. We enould
treat them praotlcally aa we are pledged
to treat Cub. Whenever tbe Filipino,
ran e:4MUh a goreemment that will
malmalo peaoe and order. It Is my opin
ion that we sbwld let tbem do It. That
la the schejis we have in new wttn
Cuba."
"Do you anticipate a large Pacific Im
port and export trade, senator?"
"1 look fr an enormoua Asiatic (raffle
In fa:t I am one of ttie people who be
lieve that within a very few year the
trade of the Facino will exceed that of j
the Atlantic. Million, of dollars wit be
Involved and the United States should j
get the liun's share of It. But we will
nrver get It through tbe system of war
fare we art ow prosecuting. 'If we ac.
quire It at all It must be by peaceful
methods."
"Who-n would you name as the prob.
atie pi-ei!denta candidates In the tcsu
Ing national camialgn?"
"They will be Bryan and McKlnley. Of
! iMs there Isn't a shadow of a doubt. Mo-
Klnley will be nominated by the men

are few In number. I think we win

and, unf r4unaiy, lets others do all the

"What wEl be the primary Isesue? The

take Hi em up, convert the non-Interest
bearing debt Into an Interest bearing
debt and turn over to the national banks
tbe right to Issue the only paper money.
I think that Is a proposition which la
very dangerous and one that will be
hotly contested In the next congress. If
they do this. It will serve as one of the
isrues of the coming- campaign and I
don't believe that on that score they can
win."
"Will Bryan carry any states addW
tKmal to those which supported him In
1S96?"
"I do not think he wUI lose any that he
previously curried, and I believe he will
gain several new ones. Colorado will
almost unanimously support him." .
Senator Teller was eleoted to the United
States Senate the last time In January,
1897. He took his seat In March, 1897, has
nerved two years, and practically has
fcur years still In Washington. Senator
TeBer was appointed secretary of the la
terlor under the Arthur administration
and served from XfSt until 1SS5.
Mrs. Teller accompanies the senator In
Ms Paclflo coast tour, and the dlstln.
gulahed visitors will leave on the up train
