Outside of the Spanish colony in Ma
Mia there is little care for the fashions as
they change from season to season III
Europe and America. The same material
and cut does in summer and in wlnOer-
or, more accurately, in the wei season
and in the dry. There is never any iroS'
and never occasion for furnaces or open
fires. Except for cooking there Is plehty
of heat in the atmosphere the year
around.
Men wear white duck suits. with thin
flannel or-silk underwear, no linen shirt
or collar, white pith helmets, and white
canvas shoes the year round. The Span
iards and the Spanish half-castes 60 in
for stvle little more. The Spaniards
are naughty and fond of displaying their
uniforms of blue or white and their gold
trimmings. The half castles, or Mestiza,
are equally fond of display. but their at.
tire Is something of a compromise be-
tween European and Chinese modes
Besides the one year out of seven that
ali foreign employees of the great mercan-
tile houses represented in Manila have
given to them as nome leave, bnere is b
months vacation every year. regular
holiday each month, and all the saints
days, and Spanish, French, English, Ger
man ard American holidays Not to OBJ
serve a saints day in Manila is sinful,
and everyone holds such sinfulness In
especial detestation. Figuring in all the
saints days, Sundays and general holt
days, there are 1879 days in each year when
these people do not work.
Clerks earn from $500 to $4,000 year,
besides having lodgings found, mess al

ling expenses. In many cases their rooms
are over the Offices They work from day
light to noon, rest two or three hours,
and then work till 5 o'clock, but they
have much freedom in choosing their
hours and are hurried only on mail days.
There are many excellent bands in Ma
Mia, and open-air concerts are given
every evening in fair weather. Theatri
cal companies, both native and foreign,
play through the season. The Mestia
chorus girl is a1luring. In the cathedral
and the churches the music is always
good though it is startling to the new
conner to hear, as he will in some ser
vices. Gloria from "Trovatore, the

VTCyORIOTs METHo TSTS

It has taken the Methodist laymen a long time to win their fight for equal representation in the general confer ence of the Church. The matter has been agitated for nearly a hundred years. The constitutional amendment to the discipline, submitted a year ago by the Rock River conference and which provides for the equal represent ation of ministers and laymen, has re- ceived S,790 votes, while but 1.495 votes have been cast against it. A three fourths vote is required to carry an amendment. To defeat the Rock River proposition would now require over HOO negative votes, which number could not possibly be secured. There are sixteen conferences yet to vote: on a similar proposition submitted about eighteen months ago these conferences boiled only $40 votes. But these confer ences are certain to cast not less than

800 votes in favor of the Rock River proposition, and several will in all prob ability vote unanimously So far as equal representation is concerned the matter is practically settled, although the action of the annual conferences must be ratified by two-thirds vote Of the general conference, which will meet in May, 1900. As there will be no ques" ton about it's vote the lay electoral conferences, which will be held in the fall of 1899 and spring of 1900, to elect lay delegates to the general conference of 1900, will elect in addition to the two lay delegates they are now entitled to under the present law additional pro visionaP' delegates in number equal to the ministerial delegates their confer ence is entitled to. There may be some opposition to the seating of these dele gates, but it does not promise to be se- rious.
 Of course the laymen will be valu- able addition to the conference. and everybody will soon be wondering why they were not admitted long ago.

as the Maria Teresa was modern ship built at cost of some three millions of dollars. Few business men would con- slider it foolish to put out the amount l expended by Hobson with good chance Gas it was considered he haD of getting so much in return At least three firms asked for permission to raise some of these Spanish vessels in the hope of ob- taining salvage, This would tend to show that it was considered good bus mess venture.
 l The vessel was raised and started for Norfolk navy yard, only to go to the | bottom of the sea. Was this the fault of Lieutenant Robson? How many new vessels on their maiden trips encounter storms and go down? That is chance that all vessels, both old and new, must take. The Maria Teresa would have come through in good shape, there is little doubt, had she had good weather. The same could be said of the Reed and the Platt, both vessels of our New Ha- ven fleet, which have gone down with all on board in the southern storms this year. Call it fate or poor luck, or what you will, when vessels are lost, as was the Maria Teresa, 'tis the fault of no man, least of all the man who was smart enough to raise her. Lieutenant Hobson has done all he ever agreed to do. He did his best to carry out the orders of his superior officer in sinking the Merrimac, an idea (by Sampson's own report) that was not originated by Hobson, and came out alive and well. Then after the guns of Uncle Sam had conquered the Spanish fleet and left 1t a wreck on the coast he conceived the idea of raising one or more of the sunk en vessels by means of pontoons. After receiving permission from his govern ment to go to work he brought his work to complete and successful conclusion. Could he do more? And now the News seems to want him to control the ele- ments.
 Honor to whom honor is due" has been the heading of many articles pub- lished about Sampson and schley Will 1t not do for Lieutenant Hobson in this case who has accomplished all he promised to do and has well earned his good and great name? W. J. l..

Isohnon All ffight.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 In the last issue of the Morning News I notice an article in relation to Lieu tenant Hobson and his work, which seems to me very severe and unjust. To those who have followed his move ments since the war began and he be- came known, as a hero, to the citizens of the United States this article will have little weight, but there are others knowing less of the facts in the case who might be influenced. To these would like to say word of explanation. In its inventory of the benefits which our government has acquired through Lieutenant Hobson and his work the News says: He bravely and brilliant- ly wrecked the Merrimac serviceabe and valuable vessel in a very praise worthy effort to obstruct the entrance to Santiago harbor. The sequel proved the effort a complete and expensive failure"
 Should Hobson be blamed because the effort was not entirely successful? If the News will look at the official report of Admiral Sampson 1t will see that he alone, the admiral of the entire fleet, takes all the credit for having originat- ed this plan of sinking the Merrimac, and that Lieutenant Hobson was ap- pointed by him to take charge of the minor details under the supervision of Admiral Sampson Hobson was simply obeying orders when he stood on the bridge of the Merrimac amid q hail. storm of shot and shell, and did his best to place the vessel a wreck, in the spot which had been decided upon before. But the conditions were against him. First of all, the current kept his vessel out of the desired course, and, to add to the difficulty, a shot is said to have damaged his steering gear, which left him helpless in placing his vessel, called by the article in question "a serviceable and valuable vessel" So far from be- ing a valuable vessel she was quite an ordinary collier, which would doubtless have stood some service, no one knows how much, and whose value was mere nothing compared to the money that was wasted in other ways at that time.
 Following this the news adds: His next achievement was to expend tre- mendous sum of money for the govern ment in raising the sunken Spanish flag ship Maria Teresa, only to have her go to the bottom of the ocean, hopeless loss"
 This enormous sum of money spoken of was as matter of fact, about $100,- 900, and when compared to the value of the vessel would seem a small amount,
