Washington, Jan. 24.—Mr. Clay of
Georgia, one of the Democratic senators
who expects to vote for the ratification
of the treaty of peace, addressed the
senate today ou the general question of
territorial expansion. He made it very
clear that nothing should be allowed to
stand in the way of prompt ratification,
but that this government should make
the Filipinos the same promise of ulti
mate independence that are held out to
the Cubans.
Mr. Clay expret led the opinion that
had ic been declared at the beginning of
the war that it was the purpose of this
couutry to conquer, acquire and annex
the Philippines, the proposition would
not have had half a dozen votes in the
senate. He believed that suggestion
of possible acquisition and annexation
of the Philippine islands as a natural
result of the war would have prevented
the passage of the war resolution by
congress. Discussing further the pur
poses of the war, he quoted President
McKinley’s message to congress declar
ing it the duty of this government to
assist the people of Cuba to build up a
government that is free and inde]>eH4-
eut and asked why should not the same
declaration be made with regard to the
people of the Philippines.
"The responsibility is in our hands
aud we must meet it in a practical,
common sense way."
He admitted the right of the govern
ment to acquire the Philippines and to
govern them as any other territory be
longing to the United (States, but he
coutended that such a policy would be
unwise and against the best interests of
the people of the United States.
Nu Right to Acquire- IsiMiids.
He contended that we have not the
right to acquire those islands or any
other territory, either mainland or
islands in the sea, aud govern the peo
ple of such territory without constttu-
tioual limitations. He said:
"If wo acquire this foreign territory,
we must deal witli the population in the
game manner and iu the same constitu
tional way we have dealt with territo
rial forms of government heretofore.
We cannot, however, maintain one lorm
of government for citizens of the United
States aud another form of government
for a subjugated race. The inhabitants
of ihis laud were the inhabitants of
Spain. They were ceded to us. When
we assume sovereignty over those
islands we expect allegiance from the
Filipinos to our government and if we
expect allegiance at their hands, then
why are they not entitled to all the
rights and privileges ef citizens of the
United States.”
Mr. Clay described the islands nnd
their inhabitants, contending that there
can be no hope of American communi
ties being built iu that territory, capa
ble of statehood. About the only sure
result of an attempt to maintain gov
ernment iu the Philippines which he
could see was that it would involve us
in future wars with foreign govern
ments. He said:
"We want to continue our friendly
commercial relations with all of them.
We want no territory or population
liable aud likely to involve us in com
plications which may lead to war with
any of these powers.”
Certain t<* Itesult. In Wars.
Mr. Clay maintained that free nations
cannot govern subject provinces. Even
monarchic* engaged in the colonial busi
ness have not lound profit iu extending
their colonial possessions, which have
almost constantly involved them in
cruel and expensive wars. The inevi
table result ot our cutering upon such a
policy must be a large increase iu the
standing army.
"A happv solution of the present com
plicated situation,” he said, "would be
a just, benevolent and humane govern
ment, created by the people of the Phil
ippine islands under the temporary di
rection aud with the temporary assist
ance of this government-a Philippine
government whose independence should
be recoguizsd just at soou as it is found
capable of perlorming all international
obligations. If it be wise aud states
manlike to onrliue our policy before the
adoption of the peace treaty, what rea
son or logic can the friends of expan
sion give for silence ou the pokey of our
government in dealing with cur other
territorial acquisitions ”
Mr. Clay concluded by calling atten
tion to General Leonard Wood’s state
ment before the military committee
that it would require 50,UOl> soldiers for
Cuba, aud said:
"In my judgment the acquisition and
reternon of the Philippine islands
means an army of 150.000 s-ildieis. It
means the unuual expenses of the army
will increase from $20,000,000 to $200,-
000,000. A large standing army means
also that the pension list will be in
creased from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000
annually."

mate and a saiior ou the Pausy leaves
no doubt as to the fate of the yacht and
of those on board.
The mate says the wreckage was scat

other things picked up were the fore-
ma-t of the vessel, a plank bearing the
name "Paul Jones.” a mirror, a table,

Macon, Jan. 21.—It has developed
that Macon men are iuterested in uu-
other railroad. It has not transpired
that actual cash investment is involved
in the lending of the name of the Ma
con people to the undertaking to build a
road from Anderson, S. C., to Cara-
belie, Fla., but it is certain that Messrs.
George A. Smith, the presuleut of the
chamber of commerce, Mr. Howard
Smith aud Mr. T. J. Carling appear
among the incorporators of a road to
be built between these points.
The charter for the road is now being
applied for in the couutiss through
which the road runs. English capital
is, it is said, behind the scheme, but
just who the men are it is not yet given
our. Iu fact the whole undertaking
seems to be shrouded in a good deal of
mystery and the incorporators have
kept the plans of the rowd a profound
secret, so that the announcement that
they were interested iu a railroad seems
to have creaied no small sensation.
Mr. George A. Smith, speaking of the
matter, said that iha road would be
built and that it would be a big thing
for the whole south iu that the road was
destined to play u very important part
in the tuture of business with the south
ern ports and the Nicaraguau trade.
The incorporators seem to think that
there is ample money here for the un
dertaking, that is to say (hat tho money
will bo forthcoming when the English
men are called upon to put it up. They
will themselves take stock in the rood.
It is said that tne road is an outcome
of or iu connection with the Black Dia
mond road about which so much has
becu said in the newspapers.
