We are in the Philippines; we are there to stay by conquest and by treaty rights. All which precedes the ratification of the treaty by the Senate of the United States is an academic question. Still the presentation of this ancient history, for the rapid progress of events makes history speedily ancient, has occupied so much of the time of the Senate that it is well briefly to review the situation. I have heard no one dispute the righteousness of our war with Spain. The contention is that, it having been undertaken with the avowed purpose, and that only, of freeing Cuba from intolerable oppression, the forces of the United States should have been concentrated in and about the island, and when the Spanishards were expelled our country should have confined its efforts to the establishment of Cuban independence. The most merciful way to prosecute war, the surest method of speedily enforcing peace, is to strike the enemy wherever he may be weak and vulnerable. To have permitted Spain ports for her fleet and freedom of the seas and the ability to concentrate all her efforts in Cuba, would have been the madness of sentiment and criminal folly. By capturing Porto Rico we closed the harbors where fleets of Spain could go outside of Cuba and cut off her sources of supply. By threatening with a flying squadron the coasts of Spain we kept troops within her home fortifications and ships within her own harbors. The wisest of the many orders issued during the war was that to Admiral Dewey when at Hongkong: "Find the Spanish fleet and destroy it." The destruction of that fleet ended the power of Spain in the Pacific ocean. The destruction of the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Manila, the silencing of the guns of the forts and the landing of an American army ended the prestige and power of Spain in the archipelago. The Filipinos, released from fear of punishment and smarting under wrongs present and hereditary, would have flocked to the standard of General Merritt as readily as they did to that of Aguinaldo, had such a course seemed best. The victorious fleet and conquering army of the United States created Aguinaldo's forces. But for our demonstrated power appealing so dramatically to the Oriental Imagination, Aguinaldo would have remained reveling in Hongkong and his followers humbly subservient to the rule of Spain. The signing of the terms of peace and the surrender of Manila to our naval and land forces occurred at the same moment of time. Dewey and Merritt refused to permit the troops of Aguinaldo to enter and loot the city, and forced them to withdraw to a safe distance. The peace treaty, guaranteeing the rights of property in the island by the United States, dissipated the hopes and dreams of the Filipino leaders of division and enjoyment of the confiscated property of the religious societies, the wealth of the church and the riches of the Spanish residents. Then, and not until then, did Aguinaldo and his party become insurrectionists against the authority of the United States; then, inflaming an ignorant population with lies about the government and purposes of this country, he received the support which has required a large army to suppress. This people had been cheated and robbed of their rights for centuries. They had never known the blessings of liberty and law, nor what they mean. It was easy for the rebel chiefs to make them believe that we came to plunder and oppress. We now understand why CITRUS FRUITS IN CALIFORNIA. The First Orchard of Early Planting Was at San Gabriel Mission in 1804—The Wolfskill Orchard Set Out Thirty Years Later. The most important of all California's varied industries at the present day is fruit growing. It has rapidly come to be a great productive industry, and has overshadowed all others in its extent and importance. Stock growing, mining, agriculture, viticulture, have all been overtaken and passed on the road, and today the production, handling and marketing of the various fruits of the State give employment to a larger number of people and have more capital invested in them than any other class of enterprises in California. Horticulture is the staple industry of the State, and everything that will affect it for either good or bad is watched with great interest. The condition of the weather in the Eastern fruit sections, the records of the thermometer in our own State, the climatic conditions affecting the bloom or the setting of the fruit, the coming and spread of pests or diseases, are all watched with the keenest anxieties, for they mean to the State at large good or bad times as the indications are favorable or otherwise. Out of this pursuit has grown numerous organizations having in view the advancement of the industry on various lines. These are both public and private. There are State and county boards of horticultural commissioners, whose duties are protective; fruit growers' associations; co-operative associations for curing and marketing fruits, fruit exchanges and fruit unions, besides district and county horticultural societies. All these are the outgrowth of this industry and all are working to advance it to the line of perfection as nearly as possible. One of remarkable things in connection with fruit growing is the rapidity with which it the seas and the ability to concentrate all her efforts in Cuba, would have been the madness of sentiment and criminal folly. By capturing Porto Rico we closed the harbors where fleets of Spain could go outside of Cuba and cut off her sources of supply. By threatening with a flying squadron the coasts of Spain we kept troops within her home fortifications and ships within her own harbors. The wisest of the many wise orders issued during the war was that to Admiral Dewey when at Hongkong: "Find the Spanish fleet and destroy it." The destruction of that fleet ended the power of Spain in the Pacific ocean. By the destruction of that fleet and the landing of our troops and the surrender of Manila, the United States stood as a conqueror upon the enemy's soil. When the Spanish flag went down from the citadel and the American flag floated from its flagstaff, the 300 years of Spanish dominion ended and the American occupation began. At this point we hear of the alleged Filipino republic and the alleged assault upon it by the United States. That Dewey, that Merritt, that Anderson used the natives for the purpose of fighting Spain no one denies. It was within the discretion of the commanding generals to utilize the enemies of Spain in such manner as in their judgment would best cripple the enemy. When Dewey, before sailing from Hongkong, sent the commander of the Petrel to Aguinaldo to secure his services, Aguinaldo refused, saying that he had sold out, had taken Spain's money, and was under obligation not to fight her any more; and it was not until after the battle of Manila that he concluded to go back on his bargain. Aguinaldo headed one of the insurrections and formed a revolutionary government, which, however, existed only on paper and governed nothing but the camp which he had in the mountains at Biac Na Bato. After continuing a desultory and mainly guerilla warfare for months, he finally opened negotiations with the Spanish authorities, and sold his government to Spain for $800,000, of which $400,000 was paid down. So that at the time that Spain ceded the Philippine islands to the United States by treaty, she had as her title the sovereignty of 300 years, and had removed the cloud upon her title by buying the claims of Aguinaldo's government. The transaction stands unique in the history of governments, if Aguinaldo's authority constituted a government. It is the first time in ancient or modern days when a power claiming sovereignty, asking for recognition from foreign states, for a valuable consideration, which was agreed to, gave a quitclaim of all its rights, its properties and its powers. The $20,000,000 paid by the United States to Spain for the cession of her sovereignty and rights, also purchased the rights, if any, quitclaimed to Spain by Aguinaldo. When Dewey was leaving Hongkong, Prince Henry of Prussia, in command of the German fleet in the Orient, said: "Goodbye, Commodore; I fear I shall never see you again. You are going on a desperate undertaking." This sentiment was the origin of the admirals residents. Then, and not until then, did Aguinaldo and his party become insurrectionists against the authority of the United States; then, inflaming an ignorant population with lies about the government and purposes of this country, he received the support which has required a large army to suppress. This people had been cheated and robbed of their rights for centuries. They had never known the blessings of liberty and law, nor what they mean. It was easy for the rebel chiefs to make them believe that we came to plunder and oppress. We now understand why they said, "Better the Spaniard than the American." It is only when peace and order are-established in the islands that we will gain both their confidence and their gratitude by a government which will guarantee law and liberty, civil and religious, and promote their progress and prosperity. Territorially, constitutionally and by the decisions of the Supreme Court, the United States has been expanding for nearly a century. At the close of the administration of Washington our country was bounded by the Atlantic ocean and the Ohio river. England on the north, and Spain and France south and west, blocked the possibilities of development and commercial power. Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence, of the strict-construction theory of the Constitution, and of the extreme doctrine of State rights. He is claimed by the anti-expansion party today as their example and guide. He saw that the West must have an outlet or the fairest portion of our country remain a wilderness. He opened negotiations with Napoleon for a harbor at the mouth of the Mississippi river and transit over its waters. Bonaparte had received the vast territory called Louisiana from Spain for a gift to a Bourbon prince of the right to rule a petty principality. He saw he could not hold his acquisition against the power of Great Britain on the ocean, and astonished the American envoys by offering to sell the entire territory. It extended from the Gulf to the Rocky mountains and the Pacific, and is the seat today of a large part of the wealth, population and political strength of the republic. Jefferson saw immediately a meaning and a sovereignty in the Constitution which opened his mind almost as was that of Paul on his journey to Damascus. He eagerly said, "We will," to the remark of Talleyrand, Napoleon's famous minister, "Why not take it all?" and for $15,000,000 the inhabitants — French, Spanish and Indian—and the territory became ours. Monroe followed Jefferson's example, and in 1819 bought Florida from Spain for $5,000,000, and Pierce purchased Arizona from Mexico for $10,000,000 while Seward secured Alaska from Russia for $7,000,000. Texas came in by annexation, and we claimed, and Great Britain yielded, Oregon to be ours by right of discovery, because an adventurous Yankee skipper had explored the Columbia river. Mexico lay at our feet crushed and bleeding after the war, but by the treaty of peace we gave her $15,000,000 for California and residents. Then, not until then, did Aguinaldo and his party become insurrectionists against the authority of the United States; then, inflaming an ignorant population with lies about the government and purposes of this country, he received the support which has required a large army to suppress.

Monroe followed Jefferson's example, and in 1819 bought Florida from Spain for $5,000,000, and Pierce purchased Arizona from Mexico for $10,000,000, while Seward secured Alaska from Russia for $7,000,000. Texas came in by annexation, and we claimed, and Great Britain yielded, Oregon to be ours by right of discovery, because an adventurous Yankee skipper had explored the Columbia river. Mexico lay at our feet crushed and bleeding after the war, but by the treaty of peace we gave her $15,000,000 for California and New Mexico, and assumed the debt of $3,500,000 which she owed to American citizens. Under the same broad, generous and wise policy of dealing with defeated enemies, in confirming the title we had by conquest to the Philippines, we have conceded to Spain for her rights and sovereignty $20,000,000. Constitutional objection and indiscriminate abuse preceded, attended and followed each of these acquisitions. The grim specter of the ruined public was each time dragged out from the stage properties of the spectacular drama of despair, only to be laughed back into its crypt by prosperity, population, thriving industries, mutual benefits to the old and new States, and the blessings of American law and liberty impressing the people with the wisdom of the expansion. There have been tyrants and usurpers, if President McKinley is one, who did these same things in the past as he has done, and they were Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, James K. Polk and Franklin Pierce. All of them were leaders and teachers of the old Virginia school of strict construction of the Constitution. Our country on this continent, and without including the Spanish islands, numbers 3,692,125 square miles. Washington governed a republic of 1,378,981 square miles, and 2,313,144 square miles have been added from the close of his administration to the beginning of President McKinley's. The United States has a domain with nearly three times greater area than it possessed when it became a nation, and stands original and alone in the beneficent processes of its growth. Its authority has been extended over new lands Continued on Fourth Page. GUITES IN CALIFORNIA. Guard of Early Planting Was Daniel Mission in 1804—The Kill Orchard Set Out Twenty Years Later. Important of all California's varieties at the present day is that it has rapidly come to productive industry, and has had all others in its extent since. Stock growing, minature, viticulture, have all been and passed on the road, the production, handling and of the various fruits of the employment to a larger number and have more capital in them than any other class of California. Horticulture industry of the State, and what will affect it for either is watched with great interest condition of the weather on fruit sections, the recordsometer in our own State, the conditions affecting the setting of the fruit, the spread of pests or diseases, shared with the keenest anxieties mean to the State at bad times as the indicative or otherwise. Our fruit has grown numerous orchards having in view the advancement industry on various lines. Both public and private state and county boards of local commissioners, whose protective; fruit growers' co-operative associations and marketing fruits, fruit and fruit unions, besides county horticultural soils these are the outgrowth of duty and all are working to adhere to the line of perfection as possible. One of the remarks in connection with fruit the rapidity with which it conquest of the wild Pacific tribes to modern civilization, and both brought with them civilizing influences. The Russians who obtained a foothold here early in the century planted an orchard of mixed deciduous fruits at Fort Ross, as early as 1812. The Russian orchards, like those of the Mission Fathers, were not planted from a commercial consideration, but to supply their respective owners with fruit for home consumption. However, like the corresponding industry in the south, it served to prove that fruit would grow in California, and thus became the pioneer of the present great wealth-producing industry of the State. The fruits introduced into the two sections of the State were characteristic of the countries from which they were brought. The chief fruits brought by the Fathers were oranges, figs, grapes and olives—all fruits of a genial southern clime. They met on common ground in California with those of the more rugged climate of the north—apples, pears and cherries, introduced by the Russian pioneers. It speaks highly for the diversity of products to which this State is adapted that both once having obtained a foothold maintained it, and today we find the apple of the north growing side by side with the orange of the south, while the pear and the lemon thrive together. The varieties of fruit grown in the missions of Lower California, whence the Francisans derived their stock, were few in number and consisted of figs, citrons, oranges, pomegranates, plantains, olives and dates. There were no fruits of the north temperate zone, unless it were a few peaches of very indifferent quality, which did not thrive well and were not regarded as worth much consideration. As elsewhere related, the Francisans made their first establishment at San Diego in 1769, and proceeded from that point northward, establishing altogether twenty-one missions; the last THE SANTA FE OIL WELLS. Wonderful Development in the Oil Fields —New Derricks Being Erected—How Water Is Procured. Not more than a mile from the site of the boom town of Carlton, which flourished for a day on the Olinda ranch some twelve years ago, the new town of Olinda has arisen. Here one of the greatest strikes in oil that has yet been recorded in California has been made, in what are known as the Santa Fe and Graham and Loftus tracts. To Olinda the Santa Fe railway runs some four miles from Richfield. It is confidently asserted that within a year the road, winding in and out of the hills dotted with derricks, will be pushed on to Whittier and Los Angeles. Within a radius of not much more than a mile thirty derricks may be seen—those of the two companies already named (the Santa Fe and Graham-Loftus), Columbia, Fullerton Consolidated, Soquel Canyon, Rex and other companies. New companies are being organized to bore for oil in contiguous territory—the Liberty company among the rest. Two years ago, when Prof. W. L. Watts of the California State Mining Bureau, who was at the wells last week, took his first photograph of the tract, his picture showed two solitary derricks. On returning to the canyon on Thursday the Professor was quite surprised to find that the two wells had grown to thirty. The town of Olinda is equipped with a restaurant, where an excellent meal may be had; a schoolhouse, railway office, and numerous cottages which are occupied by the fifty men employed at the wells. The men work in shifts, going on and off at noon, when the hoarse whistle blast awakens the echoes of the canyon, reverberating on the distant hillsides. Standing upon Reservoir hill, back of the company's office, the ocean may have in view the advance-industry on various lines. Both public and private estate and county boards of local commissioners, whose protective; co-operative associations and marketing fruits, fruit and fruit unions, besides county horticultural soils these are the outgrowth of industry and all are working to add to the line of perfection as possible. One of the remarks in connection with fruit the rapidity with which it itself to the front. For, has been grown in California date of the first settlement, within the past twenty years industry has come into any use. In that time it has be great specialty of the State, California now boasts the proud of being the orchard of the states. State and soil of the State especially adapted to fruit common with all our agricultural pursuits, California introduction of horticulture Mission Fathers, who first planted fruit-bearing trees on the acres. These plantings were of no great importance, except as they proved that fruit well in California. Their orchard planted with no regard to commercial value, and the only planting them was to furnish pears and their servants with fruit. The best varieties then obound their way here, but no made to improve them. In horticulture in California, as other developments of agriculture very crude, and its products comparable with those of the large; but in the planting of their orchards the Fathers laid the plan for a gigantic industry and better than they knew." All the Jesuits were expelled frommissions in Lower California assessments were turned over to Franciscans, and Junipero Serra acted as President of the Mission dispute arose between the Franciscans and Dominicans over the property. The latter then interest in the mission work sequence of this a division was found in 1769 the Franciscans northward, entering and occupant is now the State of California he avowed object of their establishment was the conversion of the places to Christianity; but while themselves to the harvest of the Fathers did not neglect the interests of themselves or establishments. The surrounding was speedily subdued and the were changed from hunters to men, and the flocks of the misceame numerous and of great not thought possible in those says that the vast plains of Cali would ever be available for other grazing purposes. To the civil world this State, together with whole Pacific Coast, was known as varieties of fruit grown in the missions of Lower California, whence the Franciscans derived their stock, were few in number and consisted of figs, citrons, oranges, pomegranates, plantains, olives and dates. There were no fruits of the north temperate zone, unless it were a few peaches of very indifferent quality, which did not thrive well and were not regarded as worth much consideration. As elsewhere related, the Franciscans made their first establishment at San Diego in 1769, and proceeded from that point northward, establishing altogether twenty-one missions; the last one being at Sonoma in 1823. Here they found the Russian settlements, and the horticultural products of the north and the south met and have grown together since. At each of their missions the Fathers established orchards. Vancouver, in his memoir of the Pacific coast, in 1702, describes an orchard which he found at Santa Clara in which were growing apples, peaches, pears, apricots and figs, the trees all being thrifty and promising. He further details finding at the mission of Buenaventura apples, pears, plums, figs, oranges, grapes, peaches and pomegranates. The orchards connected with the mission San Gabriel were among the most extensive of that early period, having, among other fruits growing, oranges, citrons, limes, apples, pears, peaches, pomegranates and figs; grapes also grew in abundance. No statistical accounts are extant recording the number of trees or the amount of fruit produced by the missions at the period of their greatest prosperity. Inventories of the mission properties were made at the time of their secularization in 1834. That of the Santa Ynez mission recorded 987 fruit trees, valued at $1 each. San Fernando returned 1,600 fruit trees, valued at $1.50 each; San Gabriel, 2,333 fruit trees, upon which no valuation was placed; and San Diego returned 517 olive trees. Outside of the missions there were a few attempts at horticulture, which might be called the "prehistoric" orchards of the State. From the period of the secularization of the missions the early fruit industry began to decline. In a few instances the orchards were kept up to their original standard of excellence, but these were exceptional cases, and when General Fremont visited California in 1846, he wrote of them that "little remains of the orchards that were kept in high cultivation at the missions. **** Fertile valleys are overgrown with wild mustard; vineyards and olive orchards are decayed and neglected." While most of the orchards were thus allowed to fall into decay, a few still maintained their early vigor. Of one these General Fremont, in his "Geographical Memoir," says: "Among the arid brush-covered hills south of San Diego we found little valleys converted by a single spring into crowded gardens, where pears, peaches, quinces, pomegranates, grapes, olives and other fruits grew luxuriantly together, the little streams acting upon them like a principle of life." Some of the earlier settlers, with varieties of fruit grown in the missions of Lower California, whence the Franciscans derived their stock, were few in number and consisted of figs, citrons, oranges, pomegranates, plantains, olives and dates. There were no fruits of the north temperate zone, unless it were a few peaches of very indifferent quality, which did not thrive well and were not regarded as worth much consideration. As elsewhere related, the Franciscans made their first establishment at San Diego in 1769, and proceeded from that point northward, establishing altogether twenty-one missions; the last one being at Sonoma in 1823. Here they found the Russian settlements, and the horticultural products of the north and the south met and have grown together since. At each of their missions the Fathers established orchards. Vancouver, in his memoir of the Pacific coast, in 1702, describes an orchard which he found at Santa Clara in which were growing apples, peaches, pears, apricots and figs, the trees all being thrifty and promising. He further details finding at the mission of Buenaventura apples, pears, plums, figs, oranges, grapes, peaches and pomegranates. The orchards connected with the mission San Gabriel were among the most extensive of that early period, having among other fruits growing, oranges, citrons, limes，apples，pears，peaches，pomegranates和figs；grapes also grew in abundance. No statistical accounts are extant recording the number of trees or the amount of fruit produced by the missions at the period of their greatest prosperity. Inventories of the mission properties were made at the time of their secularization in 1834. That of the Santa Ynez mission recorded 987 fruit trees，valued at $1 each. San Fernando returned 1，600 fruit trees，valued at $1.50 each; San Gabriel，2，333 fruit trees，upon which no valuation was placed; and San Diego returned 517 olive trees. Outside of the missions there were a few attempts at horticulture，which might be called the "prehistoric" orchards of the State. From the period of the secularization of the missions the early fruit industry began to decline.
