If'an attempt were made and a convention called for that purpose not one-third of the dele gates could understand any and the miracle of the “gift e languag ot tong would have to be repeated before th vention could understand the propos submitted consideration. Who would arise to reconcile the divergent views, prejudices, fixed convictions and inherent characteristics there assembled? Which civilization should give way? That of the cross, or the crescent, of the dragon? Is it not manifest that at the end of useless effort, predestined to failure, the United States or some other established, homo, ous natlon would be obliged to' formu and establish a government for th islands? In short, do then just what United Siates has done now The policy of the administration was set forth in_the instructions of the president to the Philippine commission, drawn by | Becretary Root and slgned by President | McKinley.

Under these nstructions the commission proceeded to build a govern- ment from the ground up. This work of developing the government reviving industry, promoting = commerc establishing schools ‘and courts, has bee accomplished by .the exercise of the mili- tary powers of the United States. The army, organized, trained and equipped for the work of destruction,’ was made an in- | etrument of construction; the enginery of war was utilized as an agency of peace; that which was fashioned to overthrow and expel one government was devoted to the purpose of erecting another.

The Venezuelan gov- ernment’s situation s critical. Recent advices received from Venezuela confirm the dispatches of the Assoclated Press from Willemstad of Friday, Septem- | ber 12. The battle which was then an- nounced began September 11 in the vicinity of Tinaquillo, Venezuela, between about 4,000 revolutionists under the command of Generals Mendoza, Battalla and Rivera and government forces of about the same strength led by the Venezuelan minister of war, General Garrido, resulting in the de feat of the government forces, and mot in | @ victory for the latter, as announced in a dispatch from Torres Cardenas, secretary of President Castro, which set forth that Gen- eral Mendoza’s army had been annihilated September 8 near Tinaquillo.

The real battle began September 11 and lasted four days, after which General Garrido re- treated on Valencia, and eventually entered that city September 17 with about 2,500 men, leaving the road free for the further ad- vance on Caracas for the revolutionary army under Generals Mendoza, Rivera and Battala.

VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 17.—A letter re- teived from a thoroughly trustworthy Chi- nese correspondent at Nanning states that the rebellion is entirely at an end. General Ma, one of the ablest Chinese officers in the south was killed. Though the rebellion, so called, is at an erid, a disquieting feature of the situation is that a large quantity of up-to-date rifles are still imported constantly. The Chinese complain that they are smuggled over the Tonkin frontier. The town of Tunghua Hslan, northwest of New Chwang,-is re- ported to have been occupled by the bri- gand leader, Liu Tang Tsae, and followers Making this their headquarters, they are ald to be busily looting all the districts around.

BITES ON MATRIMONIAL GAME Young Man from Otoe County Ha Ex ive Experience in Omaha. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Sept. 17.—(Bpe- olal)—A young.man who gave his name es Ernest Jessen arrived in the city from Omaha last evening and stated that he was on his way back to Otoe county, where he had been working on a farm. Accord- ing to the young man's story he had been reading a matrimonial paper and in that way secured the address of a “pretty young with blue eyes and a fair complex- whose name Is Gracle Goldenberg and her home is In Omaha. After they had ocorpesponded for mame time Krnest became {mbued with an irresistable desire to see the idol of his hedrt, so he gath- ered together all the money he had saved up—about $160—and boarded a traln for Omaha. As previously arranged, 'he was met at the depot there by a young woman whose dazzling eyes and happy smiles complitely captivated him. After a few moments' conversation they went up town and stopped at a restaurant and had dinner, after which~ they enjoyed. a walk along some of the streets for a few hours. As they approached a dry goods store she asked him to walt a few minutes while she went in and purchased a pair of gloves. He walted a few moments and then a few moments more, and until the moments grew into hours, and still Gracle failed to eppear. He finally puckered up courage and went into the store and inquired for ber, but was Informed that the young woman had gone. About that time he dis- covered that his pocketbook and money were missing and he barely had enough money. left to buy a meal and a ticket to Plattsmouth. When asked if he had reported the mat- ter to the officers in Omaha he stated that he had mot, and gave as a reason for so ence opened by a misslonary sermon by Rev. J. W. Scott. He especially pralsed the work of Willlam Taylor and hoped to see many missionaries follow the noble example set by him. Attention w lled to the mecessity of work in China and Africa, but he appealed to the people to begin at home; that there was much need of mission work in America. Rev. H. O. Ostrom, the evangelist, held services at 4 o'clock and was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. In the evening L. F. Smith of Emmanuel church, Lincoln, led the scriptural reading. Dr. Parr of Philadelphia, president of the Church Extension soclety, was the prin- cipal gpeaker. Eloquence, enthusiasm and sincerity characterized his address. He called attention to the fact that 125 years ago there was absolutely nothing of Meth- odism in the country, while now there are 12,641 Methodist churches in the United States. He implored the people to work among the Africans, for in that race he sces much good, which, if developed, will roduce grand results. At the close of the mon the proposition was pl the people to bulld & chapel in Manila and name it the Nebraska Conference chapel. The audience responded willingly and over $110 was subscribed.

CONGER TAKES UP MATTER Attention of Ohinese Foreign Office led to Continued Murder of Christians. PEKIN, Sept. 17.—United States Minister Conger has presented to the Chinese For- eign office a letter from Dr. Canright, the American missionary of Cheng Tu Fu, de- seribing the massacre of native Christians there in July. Dr. Canright says that eleven people were killed by Chinese and that the author- ities refused to take measures sgainst the Boxers. The letter was written August 2. The missionaries were then guarded by troops and were unable to leave the mis- slon buildings except when escorted by soldiers. Dr. Canright's recent telegrams say the situation is worse. The native papers declare the trouble is due to the collection of excessive Indemnities for Christians on account of the troubles of 1900 and owing to the Christians’' arrogant attitude under foreign protection. MAGOON TALKS OF PHILIPPINES Law Officer of In Plain Statement of Con- ditio (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 17.—~(8pecial.)—Hon. Charles O. Whedon last evening gave a complimentary dinner to a number of old friends and former assoclates of Charles B. Magoon, law officer of the Insular bu- reau of the War department. Mr. Magoon delivered an address on insular affairs and s81d in part: ‘The people of the United States have ac- quired sovereignty in the Philippines: that soverelgnty is supreme and Is established by treaty stipulations, by force of arms and by universal assent of each and every member of the family of nations. It Is only In our own country that our sov- erelgnty is assailed and there the assault comes from those who overlook the history of the acquisition of Loulsiana, Florida, California, New Mexico and Alaska, which acquisitions made it possible for us to dominate the western hemisphere and gave .us the solidity which enables us to suc- cessfully encounter the machinations of forelgn foes and withstand the shock of civil war. Among the benefits to be derived from acquiring the Philippines is the develop- ment of national character. As a nation we have been selfish. We were content to int to ourselves as an example and to 0ld _aloft the torch of lberty. But the world has grown smaller and the brother- hood of man is seen more clearly. In exercising soverelgnty in the Philip- pines the first and paramount duty Is to provide a government which will secure to_the inhabitants the largest degree of political freedom consistent with public peace. This is a great work, but the 0~ ple of the United States are well fitte perform it. There are many obstacles to overcome. ‘It took 100 years and three wars to bring the government of the union to its present excellence—the revolution, to establish_its political Independence; ‘the war of 1812, to establish its commercial in- dependence, and the civil war, to establish the supreme sovereignty of the federal government. The first obstacle, the insurrection, has been overcome. Its underlying causes are little understood. It found its Inception in the desire of Aguinaldo and his followers to sack Manila and when this scheme w defeated a new Impetus was given by rea- son of an effort of the privileged classes to reserve the conditions which existed under panish dominion, where land holdings consiéted of large estates worked by peons. Under Bpanish system church and state were combined and many of the political powers of the state were exercised by church officials. There were also office holders who held their offices by right of purchase from the crown. These offices were sold at public auction, were consid- ered perpetual and to pass by descent from father to son. Fearing their interests were in jeopardy, these ‘several classes jolned together and sought to make the insurrection suffl clently formidable to induce the United States to abandon the islands. ‘The insurrection was scarcely organized when it became evident that the clerical element of the alllance would have to be sacrificed. Thus arose what 1s now called the “friar question.” ~The friars must not be confused with the parish priests. They were the head men, petty magistrates, tax gatherers and office holders of every com- munity. Permitted to exercise the com- bined suthority of church and state, they abused thelr power and devoted it to their own advantage and enrichment and are hated for their acts as Spanish officlals. The Philippine archipelago extends from the fAfth fo the nineteenth parallels of north latitude, a distance about equal to that between Lincoln and Pittsburg. Be- tween the fifth and the ninth the country is occupled by the Moros; their religion and ideas of government is that of Mahomet. From the ninth to the thirteenth it is oc- cupled by the Vi an race; these people are nolnlnblly Christians; their ideas "ol | DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED Small Boys' Play with a Ends Up Tragedy. oaded Gun WILBER, Neb., Sept. 17.—(Speclal.)— While Adolph and Steve Javorsky, the young sons of Frank Javorsky, living a few miles southwest of here, were playing in the gran- ary where there was a loaded gun, about 11 o'clock this forenoonm, the gun was ac- cidentally discharged in some manner while in the hands of the younger boy.
