But he is op ed to the setting of any time granting of that independence. “The United States in all its dealings,” he sald, “must show itself absolutely hon- est. Its promises must be carried out to the letter. I think that. the Filipinos should be given independence when they are ready for it. No set time must be fixed in advance, however. Complications might arise which might make the grant impossible at the time set, and then the United States would be placed in the di- ise or grant independence at an unfavor- able moment."

The first the occupation were gol- the Americans there, he ince that a reaction had come in, resulting from the wars, the rhinder- pest and surra, which had destroyed all the agricultural cattle, and the epidemic of choléra. : “All these things,” course, enormously chasing power quent depr however, s year's are also magnificent, and with another good vear the islands will have entirely re- covered from the past calamities.

The chiefs of these have been nearly all exterminated and few outlaws remain in the hills. The | troubles fn Samar are due to the heredi- tary feuds between the mountaineers and the lowlanders and the situation there is being surely mastered. In Jolo, Minda- nao and Bohol the troubles come from the fanaticism of the Mohammedan tribes nd there punitive oxpeditions are, having a wholesome effect. On the whole an American can travel alone nearly every- where in perfect safety.” General Smith placed no credence in the report that Japan is seeking to negotiate for the purchase of the Philippines. *I think there is abeolutely no. truth in the report,” he said. “In’the first place, 1 doubt If Congress would have the power to sell the islands. Secondly, it would be against all American principles to seil the Philippines without thelr consent and the Filipinos show no inclination to con- |sent to such a bargaln. They are, in {fact. very much worried over the rumor and look upon the idea with undisguised repugnance.” General Smith will soon go to visit his parents in Cloverdale, Sonoma County. Afterward he will probably go to Wash- ington. He will return to the Philippines In August to assume the Governorship on September 15. |[NEW YORKERS FAIL T0O OBSERVE THE DAY | NEW YORK, April 13.—For the first time in many years Good Friday was not observed as a holiday in business | circles in New York today.

From his position on the bridge deck he could see the waters of the bay gleaming golden, far- ther the city throned on its hills, farther still in other directions the green of the spring rain-soaked hills, and from -all | sides scores of craft converging upon him to bid him welcome. The sun had finally plerced the haze that had obscured the morning, and a fresh bréeze from the flags in virile applause. He stood on the bridge deck, side by side with Mrs. Smith. He wore a brown overcoat, a soft gray felt hat, a broad smile distended his face, his blue eyes fairly danced, and right away the crowds upon the boats recognized the same Jim Smith who had left elght years before. The Golden Gate, bearing the deputa- tion of the municipality and the National Quard, won the race and lay alongside first. The Blocum, with General Fungton, the regular army deputation and the band, was pext,-and then the ruck of the Yate tfed’ p ‘&10ngside vile by one. Here all order was lost. If dignified welcomes had been planned, if pompous speech had been prepared, they were all lost in a turmoil of sponta- neous greeting. From the boats the-depu- tations sprang pellmell up the ladder, while General Smith descended the gang- way to its head, and then it was a chorus of “Hello, Jim,” and “How's the Fill- pinos?’-and “How much o you weigl and “Gee, It's good to see you agai varied with furieus handshakes, and re- sounding slaps upon the back. The Governor-and-general was jostled from friend to friend, pirouetted, pulled here and there. And he seemed to like it. | His face beamed and his eyes danced. To amicable questions as to his weight he ex- plained that he weighed 198 pounds when he left eight years ago, and now weighed To demands for photographic poses he took off his hat and, pointing ‘to a | naked pate gleaming in the sun, pleaded modestly that his hair wasn’'t combed. But he was photographed—with his coat on, without a coat, with his hat, without his hat, with his wife, without his wife, standing on deck, sitting In a chair. He was not an Orlental satrap, but a plain, jolly good fellow. ° At last he was shanghaied upon the Slo- cum, upon which everybody forthwith crowded. At the wharf a line of cabs was walting and he was whirled off to the Palace Hotel. His homecoming had been far more than ‘that of a mere con- queror. — PROGRAMME FOR TODAY. Reception to Be Given General Smith at the City Hall. General Smith will be given a well- deserved rest this morning and after- noon. In the evening, however, he will be the recipient of a reception at the City Hall, to be preceded by a parade from the ferry building. The reception committee of citizens appointed by the Mayor to act as escort to Smith will meet tonight at. 7:45 o’'clock at the Palace Hotel, and, in con- junction with Governor Pardee and staff, will conduct him to th$ ferry building. Here the Federal anli State troops wiil be in waliting, under com- mand of Brigadier General John A. Koster. The parade will leave the ferry building at 8:15 and will proceed on Market street to the City Hall. The ceremonies will take place in the rotunda of the City Hall. Captain Peter Riley will be master of ceremonies. The address of welcome will be delivered by Mayor Schmitz. Speeches will be made by the Hon. Thomas F. Graham, Profes- sor Bernard Moses of the University of California; Rev. Joseph P. M. McQuaide, who was chaplain of the First Califor- nia in the Philippines; Jayme Araneta and Samuel M. Shértridge.

KHARKOFF, Russia, April 13.—The famine among the peasants in Riazan, Kazan, Simbirsk and Tula provinces has assumed 'an acute phase. The grain is all gone and among the peasants, who absolutely are without bread, hun- ger typhus has appeared: The mortal- ity is especially large.among the chil- dren.

Tries to Incite Attack on the Jews. KIEFF, Avril ~13.—Kounitsk, an agent of the secret police, was arrested here today for attempting to incite a crowd in a bazaar to make an attack on the Jews. MTEBISCISSIN AT WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON, April 13.—Railway rate legislation was again & topic of important discussion today at the White House. The President talked over the subject with Senator Nelson of Minnesota, one of the stanch supporters of rate regulation, and later discussed it with Senators” Simons and Overman of North Carolina. The President suggested to Senator Nel- son that in his judgment it would be wise to attach to the Hepburn bill either the amendment by Senator Sfmons or that by Senator Mallory of Florida, both of which are designed to prevent unusual delay in the consideration of applications for tem- porary imjunctions. The proposed amend- ments providé that proceedings for pre- liminary injunctions must be begun before the rate fixed by the commission goes into effect. The complainant must begin proceedings within fifteen days after any given rate is flled by the commission and the notification has been received. Ten days are then allowed for the taking of testimony and return of papers. In thir- ty-five days all the facts in any case must be ready for submission to the court on a motion for a temporary injunction. Such an amendment, it i8 belleved by the advocates of rate regulation, would insure a speedy determination of - any glven case and would prevent the delays which they fear. It is regarded as likely that such an amendment may be adopted. A REST FOR RATE BILL: No One Prepared to Speak on Measure in the Semate. WASHINGTON, April 13.—Owing to the fact that none of its members were prepared to speak on the railroad rate Dbill that measure was temporarily laid aside today in the Senate, permitting the devotion of the entire time to th consideratién of . other bills on the calendar. Of these more than 300 were passed, most of them being private pen- sion bills, B Among the general bills passed was one increasing the pensions of ex-sol- diers who lost limbs in the service; an- other retiring and pensioning petty of- ficers and men of the army, navy and marine corps after thirty years of ser- vice at three-fourths of their regular under him with the First California Regiment in the Philippines.

W. Bashford of the Methodlst :Bpiscopal church, who for the last four vears. has made his headquarters at Shanghai, says that the reports of dis- \turbances in, China have been greatly ex- ‘aggerated In the United States. He de- rclares ‘that’ the Chinese generally are friendly to Americans. He bases his opin- 'lon on, observations made during a 5000- \mils journey in and around the empire sinee the American boycott was put into ieffect and 10,000 miles’ travel through China since the Boxer* uprising. Bishop Bashford arrived here yesterday ,:4;‘1;1 Shanghal on the liner Mongolia.

At Liengchou five Americans were killed. At Nanchang six French subjects and thres nglish subjects were killed, and a day or two follcwing the riot more than a score of Chinese lost their lives in a wild stampede made by them to escape through the city gates and on boats on the report that for- elgn gun boats were coming to destroy their city.

Owing ‘to the boyeott of American goeds beginning in China in May, 1906, the missionaries at their summer gatherings last year were unanimous in the conviction that the attendance upon the schools and colleges in the fall of 1905 would be smaller than usual. At first some of the students wrote timid letters’ during the sum- mer vacation expressing a fear of return- ipg to the schools. But the Chiness soon lost their fear of persecution if they sattended American schools. During the last six months over Chinese students have been in at- tendance at Methodist schools in the empire and over 40,000 students at all the Protestant schools. I cannot *foretell the effect. of an adjourn- ment of Congress with no modification of the exclusion act and with no provision for a more rational and just enforcement of it. If that difficulty were out of the way I would say without hesitation that the prospects of American trade, of American influence and of Christian missions in China are better than at any preceding period in history. gl it g RBROYCOTT FUND CAUSES A RIOT IN HONOLULU Chingse Squabble Over Money Intended - fer-Use-in Shanghat, but Not Needed. HONOLULU, April 7.—The disposition of a fund collected among local Chinese to aid the anti-American béycott in Shanghat has:caused exciting Chinese. meetings here, jeading to two riots, in which the polce have had to.interferc with a liberal use of clubs. The money, it appears, was returned from Shang- hal, with a statement that it was not needed, there being enough without it. A hot controversy_ then began as to what should he done with it; and on last Thursday night there was a meet- ing to discuss the subject, ending in a riot. The police dispersed the meeting and made a number of arrests, and for some time afterward they had to’de- fend the police station again¥t a mob of several hundred Chinese seeking to rescue the imprisoned men. SANITY OF MARQUIS SUBJECT OF INQUIRY LONDON, April 13.—According to the Daily Mail, Justice Vaughan Williams has decided to order a public inquiry before a jury into the condition of the health of the Marquis of Townshend. In February the statement was pub- lished that the Marquis of Townshend, who is 39 years of age, and who in Au- gust, 1905, married Gladys, daughter of Thomas Sutherst, a barrister, was being restrained of his liberty by his wife and her father, who claimed that he was of unsound mind. The mother of the Marquis asserted that her son was not insane and entered upon a strenuous effort to secure his freedom. Medical specialists engaged by her re- ported that although ill, the Marquis had displayed no hallucinations or de- lusions, but that his voice and manners “point to some arrest of development.” The Sutherst family asserted that the Marquis was perfectly rational except with regard to a friénd, whom he had known for sixteen years and who, the Marquis said, had helped to save his estate from attacks from other quar- ters. This friend was once a clergy- man. The Suthersts assertéd that the Marquis was master in his own house. A reporter who was admitted to Suth- erst’'s house saw the Marquis, who said he intended to remain in his wife's care. —_————————— Switszerland Accepts Invitation.

The {rouble at Nanchan started with the French missionaries located there. According to Mrs. James a Chinese at- tache of the French mission had been arrested for some infringement of the law. The missionaries sent for Chiang Chao Tang, the chief magistrate, and demanded the prisoner’s reiease. Chiang sald he could do nothing until the case had come to trial. The missionaries in- sisted.

To the Chinese, says Mrs. James, it makes little difference whethey their mag- istrate was murdered by the French mis- l slonaries, as the autopsy would indicate, | or whether he was driven by their insist- ence to commit suicide. They held the missionaries responsible for the defllh.’ and the massacre that followed was the i yyyyy pmepaBL mob's method of balancing the account. The French missionaries notified the Governer of the magistrate’s death and requested that a guard be sent to ED[EC( the mission. This was on Thursday’ Feb- ruary 23. Nanchan is a city of abodt 1,000,000 peo- ple, and the news of the violent death of the magistrate caused the greatest excite- ment. On Saturday a poster was issued calling for a mass-meeting on Sunday to consider the matter. The poster, says Mrs. James, was issued by Chinese mill- tary students, who afterward directed the murderous attack of the mob. At the meeting the Chinese ~worked themselves into a frenzy, wrecked the meeting-house and marched in a body to the Catholic cathedral, where they mur- dered six French priests. After destroy< ing the edifice and. tearing to pieces two other establishments maintained by the French mission the mob attacked the Ply- mouth Brethren mission, where.they mur- dered Mr. and Mrs. Kingham. BRAVERY OF NURSE. The Kinghams' native nurse or amah tried to save her two . little charges, Gracle Kingham and the two-year-old baby girl. Chinese soldiers were strug- gling with the mob in a vain effort to save the people in the mission. The aman hid the baby and taking Gracle in her arms tried to reach the soldiers. An infuriated Chinese snatched the little girl from her arms and dashed the child heavily to the sidewalk. With a scream the amah picked up the brulsed and bleeding form and Was preparing for another rush when yet- low hanas tore away the precious bur- den agalm and once more flung the limp little body on the ground. Be- fore the-amab ‘could again interfere a heavy heel crushed in the fragile skull Others eized the frall and mangled form and flung it into a nearby lake, from which jt was rescued by soldlers and turned over to the Methodist mis- sionaries. A spark of life remained, but flickered out a few hours later in spite of frantic efforts to fan it to a glow. Abandoning Gracie when she could do no more for her, the amah, herself bruised from the rough handling of the mob, took the baby from her hiding place and handed her to a Chinese sol- dier. @athering the child to his breast he buttoned his great coat over the lit- tle one and carried her to a place of safety. Meanwhile the Governor had sent sol- diers to protect the Methodists. whose mission was located outside the city gates There thirty. people—missionaries, their wives and children and a few faith- ful native attendants—were, gathered, awaiting with dread the next move of the mob. Under strong guard the thirty | were conducted to the mint bullding, in the inmost recesses of which they remained until dark, while outside in the pouring rain 25,000 fanatical yel- low men yelled and shrieked for their blood. » Through the shrieking crowd and un- der a hail of stones the soldiers at night rushed the refugees to the river bank, where they embarked in a life- boat, which carried them beyond the reach of the mob. Later they were transferred to a launch, which carried them safely to Wuchang. Mr. James has since returned to Nan- chan and is there now. Mrs. James and her two little girls are in the United States to stay. —_——— Greet the New President.
