RACES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Desc~ndants of The Cons.eri,s Aa-

-vidrnce

OF tss rsn million inhabitants of
the PE-.il Pines, very few of them are
spaniards. less than one-fortieth of
them live in Manila and about one
seventh of the entire population arc
believed to be onconquered natives.
Among the natives are found repre-
sentatives of seven distinct races. The
aborigines were probably the Negritos.
a diminutive. dark-hued race. with fea-
lures resembling the American negro.
They are still found in limited num-
bers. harmless, uomadic people. very
fond of the dog and of cigar. which
they frequently -moke with the light
ed end in the mouth.
The aboriginal people were grad
Hally conquered and driven into the in
terior by invading Nalaya, whose de
scendants now form = large proper
stion Of the population. The Tagals
md Igolotes are the most Important
of the Malay tribes. the latter be-
ing law-abidine and devoted to agri-
cultural pursuits. The Tagals. with
more war-likc prnpensifies. occupy the
lowlands- living near the water in pic
turesque. elevated huts- They are in
danao, where under the sovereignty
of their own sultans they are free to
enjoy the cock-fisht. dancing and mu-
sic. for which they seem to have great
aptitude. They lave strongly stockad-
ed villages on the mountain sides. and
while they Acknowledge the suzerainty
OF Spain they do not pay taxes nor per-
nit Spanish officials to reside among
them.
Besides these two races there are
in the Philippines Ma.ay Indians and
nnfive Caucasians. with a large number
Of Chinese and Mestizoes. The laziness
OF the natives in times of peace is pro-
verbal. but this is not TO be wondered
at when we know that nature has fur
nished the islands with wealth of
vegetation which may be used for food.
Their Incidence is probably increased
by the climate, which is hot and en-
ervating. The heat is. however.
greatly moderated by alternating land
and sea breezes. and n more healthful
climate is unknown in tropical coun-
tries.-John A. Osborn. in Chautau-

T am certainly not in favor, how ever, of an exposition which would lh- terfere with that of the Paris Exposl- tion, and appear in the light or an act of discourtesy to the French Govern ment. But if the dates could be so ar ranged as not to clash with those of the French Fair, l am sure that San Francisco could depend on Northern California putting no stumbling block in the way of the project as outlined in The Call.
 San Francisco's winter climate Is such a great attraction in itself that it would be a mistake to open an ex- position in any other season of the year, and on that account there is no reason why our exposition should in- terfere with the Paris fair. which closes.
