Population in Manila.

1t is difficult to make ever an APP
proximate estimate to-day of the
numerical population of Manila, but
it probably consists of from 100000
to 800, 900 souls. The largest pro-
portion of these excepting the natives
themselves, is composed of Chinese
and so-called Chinese natives, exceed
ing even that of the Spaniards. There
is a large colony of Germans and
Swiss, who, according to rumor, are
mainly responsible for the present and
recent uprisings, and also a handful
Of English-Scotchmeu; not too small
a handful, however, to maintain an
English Club in the suburbs and a
ssTifin Club downtown. The say
ing goes in the Far Fast that if an
Englishman, a Spaniard and an
American were to be left upon a
desert island, the first would organize
a club. the second build a church,
and the third start a newspaper.
Half a dozen Americans are all that
remain in Manila now, in sad con-
trast to the .old days when two
great American business houses -four
ished only to go down almost together
with a crash that was heard around
the world. What is now the English
club house was built by one of these
houses for its ~junior men,; and on

~Freemasonry in the Philippines.

The "Siglo Future ascribes the
revolution in the Philippines to Free
masonry. The statement has seemed
quaint, but it has the merit OF being.
At Cavite there is-or was-a lodge
known as the Primera Luz-the First
Light. Affiliated branches are en-
counterable throughout the archipel-
ago.. In all there are nearly two hun
dred. Each branch is a revolutionary
center. In earlier days the fragmen-
tary state in which the tribes sub
sisted precluded any idea of national
unity. The solidarity which was Lack
ing Freemasonry brought. To the
natives the rites represented a form OF
sorcery fresher and even more mys-
ferrous than ancestral superstitions.
The enthrallment of the unknown,
attractive to all but irresistible to
primitive natures, captured the most
influential among them at once. They
found in the brotherhood dignities
which they craved, ceremonies which
appealed, and Herewith unimagined
opportunities to rebel. In her three
hundred years of dominion Spain
failed to touch the native heart.
There is one of her oversights. Where
she has not massacred, she has alien
ated. She repels and never endears.
As a consequence, when it was found
that Freemasonry, in addition to
other charms, offered opportunities
at table-turning, the latter were not
suffered to go to waste. Once intro
duced-and introduced through pro-
cesses too complex for recital here
it spread, and, in spreading, de-
veloped into a vast association known
to-day as the Katipuan, which in some
respects presents a curious resem-
blance to the Ku-Klux-Klan, and OF
which the watchword is HAsTA La
MUERrE and the significance Hatred
of Spain.-Collier's Weekly.

Death By Storm.

The most violent electric storm thft
has visited this section within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant swept
over it ON Wednesday afternoon, kill
ing one man, injuring at least four
other persons and causing considera-
bic damage to property. A dark and
ugly cloud came up from the north
east shortly after 8 O'Clock, and the
rain came down in such sheets as al
most to amount to a cloudburst. It
was the heaviest flood of the season
and for about an hour the clouds were
afame with electricity accompanied
with detonations of thunder that
sounded like a park of rapid firing
artillery.
The only fatality reported was tina
of Neville Caruthers, who lived with
his family just outside of Rayne on
the north side. Mr.. Caruthers was in
his residence with his family when the
storm came up. The house was
struck by lightning and almost CON-

injuring three of the children. His
wife is reported to have escaped with
out injury.-Crowley Signal.
