 Manila, May 3-The Filipino commis- sIoners left here by special train today. They will be escorted to their lines under flag of truce. It is expected they Will re- turn soon.
 President Gonzage, of the Philippine com missions. previous to his departure, said: We greatly appreciate the courtesy shown us, We have spent some time with your commissioners incidentally considering the American constitution. Its principles i'm press us profoundly.
 "The plan of government offered the Philippines seems in theory good colonial system. But why should a nation with your constitution seek to make colony of a distant people who have been so long fighting against Spain to secure the same rights your constitution gives? You fought the same battle in America when you fought against England"
 In the fighting at San Fernando yester- day fifty Ftlipinos were killed and many wounded The Americans had two men killed and twelve wounded.

 CASTELAR, LIBERAL LEADER IS DEAD BaniShed From Spain for Demo- cratic Utterances THROUGH HIS NEWSPAPER By His Writings He Paved Way for the Spanish Revolution of 18e6-Re- tired from Public Life Six
 Years Ago.
THROUGH HIS NEWSPAPER

Madrid, May 25.-Senor Don Emilio Cas- telar, tho distinguished republican orator and statesman, who had been suffering from an attack of pulmonary catarrh contracted last winter, is dead:
 Senor Castelar, passed away at Murcia. capital of the ancient kingdom and mod ern province of that name. The immediate cause of death was albuminaria.

 Emili Castelar, was born in Cadiz, Sep tember 8, 1882. His father, an exchange broker, spent seven years in the English possessions, chiefly at Gibraltar, to escape sentence of death passed upon him for his implication in liberal movements. Not withstanding his father died poor, Emilio, who was only seven years old at the time, received superior education and attained great distinction democratic journalist and orator. In 1856 Castelar, was the suc- cessful competitor for the chair of history and philosophy in the University of Mad rid. He also delivered lectures on the his tory of civilization in the aesthnaem He was deprived of his university professor ship in 1864, after having, with Senor Car ascon, founded the Journal La Democra- cia Castelar, paved the way by writings and speeches for the revolution in 1866, which was put down by Marshal Serrano. He was sentenced to death and his paper suppressed. In disguise he escaped to Gen. eva, and thence to France.
 During the troubles 1888, when Isabelle was dethroned, CasteFar returned to Spain and labored for a republican form of gov ernment, but the throne was re-established in 1868, with Amadeo as king. Castelar, was restored to his professorsVlip in 1868, and resigned in 1875. He was elected to the cortes for Saragossa and Leriga and op- posed to Prim and Serrano, and subse- quently King Amadeao.
 When King Amadeo abdicated in 1873, Castelar, became minister of foreign affairs to the republic (February 12), and president of Spain with extraordinary powers (Sep- tenber D. On January 2, 1874, he resigned. Serrano came to the front in military re- action, and a year later, when Alfonso XII. was called to the throne, Castelar, made a second journey to Geneva In 1876 he re-entered the cor'tes.
 Senor Castelar's republican views became modified as far as their application to spaln went. In 1898, on May 23, just six years ago, he announced his retirement from public life.

who seek to secure monoply. Since the corporation is fictitious person, created by law, the power that creates can regu- late, restrain or annihilate. To say that the government is impotent to prevent the organization of trusts is to say that 1t has called into existence a fictitious person and that the fictitious person created has be- come greater than the creator.
 Hide Behind Constitution
 a"One of the difficulties which has been encountered in opposing trusts is that the trusts hide behind the federal constitution when attacked by state legislation and shields itself behind its state charter when attacked in the federal courts. No remedy will be complete that Is not co-extensive with the federal government If the ex- unguishment of trusts is left to state legis- lation the public at large will be victimized as long as a single state vii furnish robbers roost where the spells contained in other states can be divided.
 Just now people are startled by the principle of monopoly as 1t manifests itself in the industrial trust and well may they De startled. The principle, however, is the same as that which manifests itself in the eHort of the national bankers that secure monopoly of the issue of paper money.

far it is to the next village he will tell
you it is only short distance, al
though it may be many miles. He
does this to please you, thinking you
want it to be so. And this custom of
courtesy is as old as the world, ap-
parently, among the orientals, for
when Abraham went into the land of
the Hittites and asked them to sell
him some land they replied that the
land amounted to nothing and for him
to help himself. The natives of the
hills are very different, and have lit
tie polish. AS rule, they go all but
naked, still use the hunting spear,
crossbow and long knife, or 'dha,' and
are savage and treacherous. They live
IN very ordinary bamboo huts in the
deep woods and jungles, where they
cultivate rice almost exclusively, of
which they distinguish $50 varieties.
Their marriage customs are very pc
cullar. They still buy their wives, and
the young married couple have nothing
10 do with the matter. The groom's
and asks her price. If the father ap-
pears willing and says, oh, yes; you
can have her; take her along with
you! 1t is equivalent to an absolute
refusal. But if he appears very un-
willing and makes a great many op-
]ections to the young mans family,
tribe and poverty, the boys father
knows that it is all right and finds out
her price. This is usually a COW or
water buffalo, brass gong, spear,
sword. cotton blanket, and four or five
rupees. If she is chiefs daughter,
an elephant tusk is always included,
though never paid, for elephant tusks

NIAGARA's VOICES.
They Are Not Rumbling or Rapid. bu,
Plangent and Silvery.

Plangent and Silvery.
Niagara mas many voices, and some
of them are thus described by Mrs.
van Rensselaer, in the Century: "And
the noise of Niagara? Alarming
things have been said about it, but
they are not true. 1t is a great and
mighty noise, but it is not, as Henne-
pin thought, an outrageous noise 1t
is not roar. 1t does not drown the
voice or stun the ears. Even at the
actual foot of the falls it is not op-
pressive. 1t is much less rough than
the sound of heavy surf-steadier,
more heterogeneous, less metallic, very
deep and strong. yet mellow and soft;
soft, mean, in its quality. AS to the
noise of the rapids, there is none more
musical. 1t is neither rumbling nor
sharp. 1t is clear, plangent, silvery
1t is so like the voice of steep brook
much magnifed, but not made coarser
or more harsh-that, after we have
known it, each liquid call from for
est hillside will seem, like the odor of
grapevine, a greeting from Niagara. 1t
is an inspiriting, an exhilarating
sound, like freshness, GOODNESS, vitality
itself made audible. And yet it is a
lulling sound. When we have looked
out upon the American rapids for
many days, it is hard to remember con-
tented life amid motionless surround
ings; and so, when we have slept be-
side them for many nights, it is hard
to think of happy sleep in an empty
silence. Still another kind of music is
audible at Niagara. 1t must be list
ened for on quiet nights, but then it
will be heard. 1t is like the voice of an
orchestra so very far away that it's
notes are attenuated to an incredible
delicacy and are intermittently per-
ceived, as though waited upon varia-
BILE Zephyrs. 1t is the most subtitle, the
most mysterious music in the world.
What is it's origin? Why should we
ask? Such fairy-like sounds ought not
to be explained Their appeal is to the
imagination only. They are so faint,
so far away, that they almost escape
the ear, as the lunar bow and the f1uted
tints of the American falls almost
escape the eye. And yet we need not
fear to lose them, for they are as real
as the deep bass of the cataracts."
