ARE THE PHILIPPINES TO BE
Eastern papers are publishing a story,
"vouched for by those In the confidence
of the president," that It has been de
termined to sell the Philippine isla.ds
to Japan or to parcel them oat among
the nations. The appointment of Gen.
Luke E. Wright, a iemocrat, to be am
ba.-sailor to Japan is explained to be
for the purpose of negotiating the sale.
His long association with the islanns,
it is said, quulifies him particuarly to
speak of their value to Japan.
In substantiation of this story it is
pointed out that recently Senator
Crane, of Massachusetts, who is close
Mr. Uoosavelt. introduced a resolu
tion in the Senate authorizing the pres
ident to negotiate with foreign powers
to the end that the integrity of the
Philippines will be preserved incase
the United States relinquishes them,
and that Representative Longworth, of
Ohio, soon to be the president's son-in
law, made a speech on the Philippine
tariff bill in wbich lie asserted with
startling frankness that the Filipinos
are a shiftless, worthless lot, and that
the sooner the United States is rid of
then: the better it will be for all con
cerned.
These things were given something
iporv than passing attention when they
took place, as indicating a loosening of
the ''keep the Philippines at any cost"
attitude of the dominant forces in the
republic, but in view of the announce
ment, coming with credentials said to
be first-class, that plans are already un
der '.vay for disposing of the islands,
they loom up in the back ground like
towering mountains in a landscape
painting.
It is said, further, that whether any
thing more nearly official shall ever
come of this scheme depends upon the
manner of the acceptance of the unoffi
cial .innouncement by the people.

In an editorial ot appreciation of the
Juneau Dai'y Dispatch the Sitka Ca
bles-am gives that paper credit for be
ing the first newspaper in Alaska to
take a telegraphic j ress report. The
Juneau Dispatch is an enterprising
paper, but it is not entitled to the credit
th.U is given it bv the Sitka publica
tion Skagway papers took dispatches
before the c >ble was completed to Ju
neau. The Daily News, of this city,
took a regular service for several
wee! s before its suspension, and the
Cai' ? Alaskan had arrangements to get
all b'g news by wire. When the cable
was completed to Juneau the Daily
Alaskan, first in connection with the
Rec rd Miner and afterward with the
Disp itch, took the dispatches from the
beginning. This paper has never
ceas-'d taking a news service since that
time. Several times while the cable
was :,ot working it was the only paper
in the district I eing so served.
A Juneau paper says a great-grand
son of George Washington is raising
gens- ug in Tennessee. According to
the I istories used in Skagway, George
Was! ington had no offspring, and hence
no gi eat-grandiihild to claim him as a
progenitor.
All Agree on That
Speaking of the president's promise
to appoint an Alaskan governor of this
distrct to succeed Gov. Brady, the Ju
neau Record-Miner says:
"All true Alaskans will most cer
tainly endorse the proposition to give
us an Alaskan, but we want one who is
so in reality and not in form; not one
who may have some business interest
here, but whose domicile is in some
other part of the country."
