(From our Regular CorreHponilont. > WaHhington, Octtober 27.?The trongest evidence that there is o foundation for the numerous mors of concerted interference y the European powers to preent Great Britain taking posses ion of the Transvaal Republic nd the Orange Free State after tie war in South Africa has been ought to a victorious end is furished by European members of be Diplomatic Corps, who always now what is going on in Euroean courts. Not one of them beleves in the possibility of any oncerted action against Great Iritaiu, although Rome of them elieve that if tne Boers can proDog the war for awhile that Rusia, to serve purposes of ita own d India and elsewhere in Asia, say tread quite heavily on John lull's toes. There is much specuition as to what this government rould do, if Russia made war gainst Great Britain, but there i absolutely nothing to be obained in official circles on the ubject. Many individuals, some f them prominent, insist that in ase of need it would be the duty f this government to give Great Intain the same moral support he gave us in our war with ipain, and which there is little loubt operated to keep Kurope <n ngers out of that war. Archbishop (Jhappelle, Apos olie Delegate to tho Philippines, tho is at present in Washington athering information preparatoy to his coming visit to the isands is a strong expansionist. He aid on tho subject: ''If wo had ot taken tho Philippines, Spain ertainly would have sold the is* inds to some other power. VVe ave a large Pacific coast, there[)re we should have strategic poitions in the Pacific. The islands 4 / ft > " ?'*1 ' *?'..' \ * \ 'i ? , v 'are* very valuable commercially, 4 a fid, above all things, they furnish the key to the trade with China. I firmly favor their retention by the United States?their retention permanently if that shall prove, to" oe the best advice to be derived from future events. Thev should be ours on moral, * ' legal. commercial, social, logical and religious grounds." Expansion seems Jikely to bring about the existence of a new and important House Committee, which shall have jurisdiction over all legislation for our Island possessions, as well as a new Cabinet portfolio. At least, that is what the Western inen who are agitating the matter say. They claim that such a new committee is absolutely necessary; that the regular committee on Territories will have its hands full if it does justice to Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Alaska, and that it should not have charge of legislation for our new possessions. Those who are interested in the formation of the new committee claim that it is already assured, and that its chairman and a majority of its members will be western men who are known to support to the fullest extent the President's policy for increasing American commerce in the Orient. Representative Tawney, of Minnesota, is frequently mentioned in connection with the chairmanship of the new ' committee, arid will certainly be a ! momhor of if if if i c fnrmnil Notwithstanding the personal protests of Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho, against the removal of the Federal troops, which have been in that State since the mining strikes in theCoeur d' Alene district, Secretary Hoot lias notitled the Governor that on and after the tlrst of November the U S. troops will cease to do guard duty over riot prisoners, alt bought they will he kept in the State for'a time. To show that he fully appreciates ttie invitations that have been extended to him by various cities, Admiral Dewey has announced his intention to make two extended trips early in 1SKI0, one south and the other west. The tlrst will include visits to Altanta, Mobile, St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and New Orleans, and the other visits to Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and St. Paul. He has taken possession of his new house, and the oiginal intention to hold a reception therein as a housewarming was ab ndoned. nimply because the Admiral desires to avoid crowds for a time, not only in obedience to his own feelings but because of positive orders from bis physician.
