ARMY BILL CHANGES.
Hulrs Measure Will Probably Be Re
ported Wednesday.

Washington, Dec. 19.-At the session
of the house military committee num-
Der of changes were made in the army
bill. The provision placing the corps
of artillery under the supervision of
an inspector general of artillery, with
the rank of brigadier general, was
stricken out The division of the coun-
try into Atlantic and Pacific divisions,
respectively, for the purpose of coast
defense, also was stricken out, on tho
ground that this was a matter of de-
partment regulation rather than law.
The remaining general provisions, in
Guiding those as to the adjutant gener-
ais and inspector generals department
were passed substantially as in the
Hull bill After a discussion and vote,
the provision was retained giving the
president authority to appoint addi-
tional second Leutenants. An amend
ment by Mr.. Hay was adopted provid-
ing that reports from inspector gener-
ais in the field be furnished in duplicate
to commanding officers in the field and
to the inspector general of the army.
Today's work disposes of about half
of the bill, and Chairman Hull feels sat
isfied that he will be able to report the
bill to the house on Wednesday,.

Manila, P L, Dec. 19.-The Spanish

priests on board. She reports that

Herald from Madrid says: One of the
best informed men in Spain on the
subject of the Philippine archipelago,
having lived in the Philippines for a
long time and being personally ac-
quainted with the leaders of the present
insurrection thinks the Americans win
not meet with much difficulty in estab-
fishing their dominion over the archi-
pelago.
In regard to the monks, of whom he
spoke without aninosity, ne thought
they constituted a power in the coun-
try which could be utilized, but their
sphere of action, he thought, should
be limited to purely religious and
moral functions.
'Spain,' he said, has not lost much
in losing the Philippines. Instead of a
colony, the enormous profits of which
went to Rome and into the hands of
chiefs of various orders which exploit
ed the archipelago.
There are many who think that
the origin of all the instructions of
the TagalO was the creation by the
monks of universities at Manila, which
distributed every year a great quantity
Of diplomas to the natives, who thus
regarded themselves as young literary
men, but who had more arrogance than
understanding. The monks filed the
empty heads of the Tagalos with the
theory of Roman law and the philos-
ophy of st. Augustine and st. Thomas.
Masonic lodges and Spanish liberal
democratic newspapers quickly trans
formed this kind of learning into revo-
lutionary aspirations and protests
against an insupportable theocratic
domination. 1t is very probable that
few schools of the arts and crafts
of agriculture would have produced alb
solutely the contrary results.
1.-THE power of the Tagalos, in COM
parison with the Americans, is much
exaggerated. Aguinaldo and the other
chiefs have not behind them a people
anxious for their liberty and struggling
for it. The natives who are following
Aguinaldo are generally native SOL
diers, who have been drilled by the
Spanish, and Indians who have adhered
to the instruction movement without
any fixed idea of definite object.
But, principally, there is at the bot
tom of this instruction a morbid
hatred of the Spanish. who have ruled
over them so many centuries with an
ill-considered and arrogant domina-
ton, and also a hatred of the absorb
ing power of the monks.
IF the Americans endow the Philip
pines with a prudent desire for liberty
they will soon be the masters morally
and materially Of. the country. No
country ever had colony with a more
glorious future before it."

PRIESTS OF THE PHILIPPINES
UNITED STATES MUST TREAT
THEM RIGHT.
Archbishop Ireland Says They Civil
lied the Philippines and Taught
the People Too Much.

New York. Dec. 19.-Archbishop Ire
land of ST. Paul was seen at the Hol-
land House, where he has been stop
ping during his stay in New York, and
said, regarding the attitude of the
Roman Catholic church in the Philip
pines:
WHO in America knows anything
about the Philippines? The church in
the Philippines WILL I have no doubt,
accustom itself to the conditions under
the new regime, as it did under the old.
The church will accept the conditions
that are to be, just as it accepts them
in this country. All the civilization
that the Philippines have has been re-
ceived from the priests. They are the
representatives of social and civil order
in the islands. The people are taught
by the priests, and they were taught
too much. The priests will uphold this
government as they upheld the gov
eminent of Spain. That is, as the rep
resentative of order, they will uphold
the existing government. This govern
ment will have to depend upon the
priests to large extent for their
moral influence in law and order
This government will do well not
to antagonize the priests. And I will
say 1 know it is not the policy of the
government 10 dnCdSOnlze InSnl, nor
is there any disposition to do so in any
quarter"
The archbishop was asked if the pur-
pose of his visit to Washington had
been to discuss this matter with the
president. He said: 81 saw the presi-
dent, but I cannot say what the sub
ject of conversation was. There was
no truth in the published report that
the archbishop of Manila has issued a
circular of an unfavorable character
against the United States. Aguinaldo
is Jealous of the powers of the priests,
and wants to rule absolutely himself
The conduct of the priests will de-
pend entirely upon the policy of the
United States in the Philippines, and
that, have no doubt will be the
same as in this country"

COLONEL RANDLE KILLED.
Well-known Texas Citizen Shot Down
In the Street.

ST Louis. Dec. ia special to the
Republic from Dallas, Tex, says:
Colonel L G. Randle, one of the best
known men in Texas, was shot to
death near the city hall at o'clock
this evening by H. P. Erwin of For
ney, Tex.
Colonel Randle was talking to
friends, when Erwin walked up brisk
ly, and, with the words, I've got you
now," fired five shots just as Randle
drew his revolver. Randle dropped
dead, shot through the brain. Erwin
at once surrendered, but declines to
discuss the killing, further than to de-
clare that he was justified: that it was
the result of former trouble, and that
Randle had threatened his life at va
rious times.
For nearly a year Randle has been
identified with extensive electric street
railway and other important enter
prises. He shot and killed Ed Randall
in 1892 Erwin has served d term in
the penitentiary for forgery.

Augusta, Ca, Dec. 19.-The demon

st. Louis. Dec. 19-The Republic to-
morrow viii say: Negotiations are re-
ported TO be in progress for consolida-
ton Of all the lead companies in Missouri,
with the intention OF organizing one
mammoth corporation. As far as can be
learned, the promoters of the deal are
capitalists Interested in thu National Lead
company, controlling nearly every white
lead plant in the United States. about
fifty in number. The promoters hope to
be able to bring into the consolidation the
St Joseph Lead company. one of the larg-
est lead mining corporations in the world.
The national company short time ago
bought what is known as the Taylor
property. in ST. Francois county. and al
ready has expended 100000 on it. Its
departure in this direction is considered
by lead experts to be the entering wedge
OF the big deal in contemplation, as the
trst overtures were made 10 mining COM
panies for the purchase of their properties
within a few weeks after the Taylor tract
was bought in.
With the ST Joe and national companies
as nucleus. the capitalists behind the
deal expect to bring in big corporations
