'T believe I am not in error In pie
siunlng tli.it the unhappy fate to which
my adverse foitune has led mo, is not
a surprise to those who have been
i'.nnllliir with the piogtes.s of tho war.
The lessons taught with a lull mean
ing, and which have icecntly romp to
my knowledge. suggest with ineslst
ihln force that a complete termination
of hostilities and l.Lstinpr pe.ice aic not
only desirable, but absolutely essential
to the welf.ne of the Philippine islands.
' The Kilipinos have never been dls
in.i.ved .it their weakness, nor have
thev f.iltcied In loHcrwiug the path
pointed out bv their fortitude and
courage. Tho time has come, however,
in which the llnd their advance along
this path to be impeded by an itieslst
Ihle foicc w hich, while it restr.iins them,
t t enlightens their minds and opens to
them .mother course, presenting them
the cause of peace. This cause has
been jovtiilly ombi.iced by the major
ity ot m lellow -countrymen, who have
.ilie.idy united mound the glorious sov
ereign banner of the United States. In
tliis banner they lepose their ttust and
belief that under its protection the Fili
pino people will attain all those prom-
Wed llbeitics which they are beginning
to cn1o. The country lias dcclaied un
mistakably In flavor of peace. So be it.
Then- has been enough blood, enough
teats, enough desolation. This wish
cannot be ignoted by the -men still In
aims, if they ate animated by a desire
to seive nit! noble people, which has
thus deaily manifested its will. So do
r ie.sptct this will, now that It is known
to me.
"Alter nintuie deliberation, T icso
lutcly ptoclaim to the woild that T can
not refuse to heed the voice of a people
longing tor peace, nor the lamentations
of thousands of families j earning to
sco their dear ones enjoying the liberty
and the promised geneioity of the

W.600, which Manager Shettsllne Mid
was the highest salatv the Philadel

had no opportunity to find this out
until alter signing the contract, when
he learned that Fltst Haseman Dele

SIGNING OF WARRANTS,
Recorder Moir Explains His Position
with Beference to the Matter.
Other Side of It.
A question that Is Just now ei eating
much discussion and comment in city
hall Is, shall the city wait ants in the
future be drawn in the city eletk's
office ot in the recorders oflice?
liver since 188fi all warrants on llie
city tieasmy have been diavvn and
signed by tlie city cletk and issued
from his office. Tlie ripper bill under
which this city is now operating pro
vides that all wai rants shall be signed
by the recorder but makes no piovisiou
as to who shall eft Aw or Issue them
to the persons entitled to leceive them.
Itecorder Moir while he says that he
has not yet atrived at anv definite ton
elusion nevertheless piactlcally ad
mits that he will not sign any war
lants diavvn by the tilty clerk. The
councllmanic friends of City Cleik Ia
velle who do not like to see htm strip
ped of any of the functlonn of the office,
which he has tilled so long ami so well,
maintain that the lecorder cannot
take upon hismself the power to dtaw
anil issue warrants until the resolution
passed in 18S.1" conferring that power
on Mr. L.avelle 1s repealed. This icso
lutiou tends as follows: N
II ii lieiebv icaolved bv- the jdect. council of
Ihe city of Scimtoli, the (ouiiiiou council ion
eiitiinpr. th.it. from and aflei (he p.i--ji;t of IV-i-,
ifiolution n(y wai rank, idi ill be prepared, xigned
and iiuvicd bj Ihe i ity clerk and connteriigned
by the city oontmllt i .
T3x-Clly Solicitor Vosbtug is autlior
ity for the statement that all tesolu
tions and ordinances passed while
Scranton was a city of the thiid elass,
lomain in foree and binding. Of eomse
tliat pot tion of the lesolutton which
ptovides that the city cleik shall sign
the wataiuts is inconsistent with the
rippei bill but il is held by Mr. T.avelle
that the tost of Ihe lesolution stands
as law until repealed by resolution,
Itecorder Moir when seen yestetd.iv
afternoon by a Tribune man and asked
lor an expireisou of opinion on the
subject said:
"1 want It undeistood thai ibeie Is
no peisonal feeling in rav contention
that the dtawing and issuing of w.ir
tants should be done In my oflice. r
have no elesiie to strip anybody ol any
duties. 1 shnplv feel that if r am to
sign the vvairants as ptovided In the
ripper bill they should be eiiawu in
my office and thoioiiRhly sciulhiiied
either by mjself oi bv a clerk whom
f can hold dliectly it sponsible.
"If I attach my slgnatute to a war
rant and it is dlseovered that It was
diavvn for too laiee an amount II is 1
and not tho person who diow it who
will be held tesponslble, I umnotsnylut;
that the warrants could not be piop
eily or correctly drawn outside of my
oflice, but 1 do say that mistakes nilglu
occur and that it is not loasonable to
ask mo to bo sponsible for what
somebody else docs.
" am under heoy bonds to the city
for the proper and faithful peifoitn
ancp of the duties of my oftlce and
shall not consent to being held lespon
olble for something I would h.ue no

with America Is Nearly Impossi
' We, Her Wealth and Energy Belnp
Too Gieat America Willing- to
Take the Philippines but Unwill

London. April ID The Speotator to
moirow will discuss "The Continent
and Anieiica," Liking as a te.t a por
tion ot an Intel lew with Admiral
Count Caneato, at Toulon, which the
Spectator believes lias not attracted,
thp attention It deserves. f
Admhal Cancvaio In concluding' hli
ntterane'e teg.ndlng the triple and dual
alliances having given Europe thiity
years of peace, said:
"This fact, would, peiliaps, lead Ku
lopean nations to consider tlie possi
bility and necessitv of uniting against
America, Africa and Asia, as the fu
tuto of clvilis-ation will icquire itiem
to d6."
The Spectatoi does not consider this
the nash outburst en the "man in tlie
stieet," for Admit al Canevato has been
Italian minister of foreign' affairs.
"His, utterance." the Spectator will
say, "coi responds exactly with that ot
Count Coluchowski (Austro-Huiigar-ian
foreign minister) and with alt the
lecent trend of affnlts. The annoyance)
of the continent with America, which
is veiy deep, is based upon three rea
sons, the first being the dread, or rath
er the conviction, that competition
with America is neatly Impossible, her
wealth aim eneigy being too great.
Both aie employed, the Spectator
thinks, to monopolize trade and so to
contiol in the end all the wealth of
the world, an idea not without advo
cates even among ourselves."
The Giant Tiusts.
Tlie Spectator mentions tlie giant
trusts and protection and refeis to thn
Ameiiean as "not scrupling to com
mence ti!ck and severe reptlsal If Eu
ropean governments fence them off
with tariffs."
"Second reason," llie article will sav,
"Is that Am'Mica is sadly in the way in
As!.-. Tlie whole action of the Wash
ington government In the Chinese mud
dle points to the conclusion, that al
though the Americans took the Philip
pines, they are not willing do see anv
but native poweis in contiol of the.
richest countries in Asia.
"The third le.ason ts America's al
titude In South America. She will
neither take it not 11 anj body else.
"The total icstut is a bitter dislike of
America, mixed with clieacl. Our oh-1ec-t

eie.ise their Meet and to peisuaile them
