The report that the Filipinos are try
ing to break through the American

ment that this force is becoming short
of supplies. 1t is evidently General
Otis intention to remain on the de-

AGUINALDO MUST LAY DOWN
HIS ARMS.
WASHINGTON, May ). = The State
Department day received a dispatch
from President Schurman of the Phil
ippine Commission, giving the sub
stance of the conference with the rep
resentatfves of Aguinaldo, and asking
for further instructions. While the
text of the dispatch is not to be made
public, Secretary Hay stated that lit
showed a very satisfactory condition
of affairs in the Philippines, and point
ed to a settlement of the difficulties
there.
The reply of the President to Pro-
fessor Schurman's cablegram, it is I'M
derstood, stated that he was very anx-
ious to have the peace negotiations
concluded at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and to this end he desired that
no unnecessary or humiliating condi-
tions should be imposed upon the in,
surgents
1t is believed in Administration cir
cles that as soon as Aguinaldo is con-
WINGED of the sincerity of the Ameri-
can Government he will agree to sur
render. He will be required however,
to lay down his arms. This, will be
the principal condition, and until an
agreement ON this point is reached the
negotiations will not make any pro-
gress toward a conclusion

lee CASE oF MR. RoBERrS.

No one subject has brought about
more animated discussion throughout
the country since the assembling of
congress than the case of Mr. Rob-
erts. Religious newspapers particular
ly are plunging deep into the argument
and commenting extensively upon the
question Of the morals involved. Mr..
Roberts makes no concealment of his
plural marriages, but he proposes to
make his prosecutors prove that he has
lived with his wives contrary to the
law
Mr.. Roberts is the author of several
books and pamphlets, which defend the
institution of polygamy. In one of his
works lie shows that it was command
ed by God as an everlasting covenant,
that it is the celestial order of mar
riages; shat it is necessary for the edi-
fication of man; that upon it depends

Aside from the moral aspect of the
question, this question involves, in all
truth. the honor Of the federal union
and it's right to discipline the states
The state of Utah came into the union
under the condition that the Mormon
church would abandon polygamy. This
was pledged, not only in the state con-
stitution, but by the high authorities
of the Mormon church. If Roberts is re-
ceived as a representative in congress,
1t nullifles the contract. 1t condones
Utah's violation of good faith and a
surrender of the general power to en-
force it's own stipulations. OF course it
becomes necessary first to prove the
guilt of Mr.. Roberts as polygamist
Once that is done, Utah should be de-
MED representation until she has
learned to keep better faith.

WHOSE IS THE BLAMEa

Ever since the death of General Law
ton, that small faction of the press adj
vocating American withdrawal from
the Philippines, has been attempting to
make political capital out of General
Lawtons well-known aversion to the
war in the Philippines 1t is apparent
from the letter written by General
Lawton to Hon. John Barrett of Yer
mont, which the latter first made pub
lie at the New England clubs banquet
in New York, that General Lawton
hated the war because he deemed it an
unnecessary war. 1t was unnecessary.
he thought, because he was certain the
rebellion owed it's strength to the stand
taken by certain public men at home.
Mr.. Barrett is right when he makes
the point that the public men who have
studied conditions on the spot are bet
ter judges of the proper policy to be
pursued in the Philippines than those
statesmen who have formed a judgment
thousands of miles away, however
much we may respect their opinions.
II would to God that the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known by every one in America as
know it, says Lawton. IF the real
history, inspiration and conditions of
this insurrection, and the influences,
local and external, that now encourage
the enemy as we'll as the actual pos
sibilities of these islands and peoples
and their relations to this great east,
could be understood at home, we would
hear no more talk of unjust shooting
of government into the Filipinos, or
of hauling down our flag in the Philip
pines. If the so-called anti-imperial-
lists would ascertain the truth on the
ground, and not in distant America,
they, whom l believe to be honest men,
misinformed, would be convinced of the
error of their statements and conclu-
sions and Of the unfavorable effect of
their publications here.
If I am shot by Filipino bullet It'll
might as well come from one of my
own men, because I know from OBJ
servations confirmed by captured pris-
oners, that the continuance of fighting
is chiefly due to reports that are sent
out from America"
On hearing the news of Lawton's
death, "Pitchfork' Ben Tillman Of
South Carolina said: THE whole archi-
pelago is not worth the cost Of one
such life" True. But who is RESPONSE
BILE for the loss of Lawton's life, the
administration, or the little iunta COM
posed of Tillman, Bryan, Erving Win
slow and Gamaliel Bradford, whose un-
patriotic conduct has kept alive an in
surrection that ought long since to-
have been ended? Lawton himself,
speaking posthumously in a letter from
the grave, puts the blame upon the
latter.

this story Of a theatre manager and his
scheme of getting around paying for
having programs printed. He ran a va
rlety theatre, as such were called ten
years ago, and had an Irishman to an
nounce the program for each day, at
the close of every performance. The
lrishmon used to come in front of the
curtain and make his speech, and at
the close, would bow deliberately to the
audience. AS there was only about IL
inches space between the footlights
and the curtain, his coat would rub the
curtain every time he bowed, an6 the
result was that by the end of the first
season, all the paint was worn off in
that spot. The manager was away most
Of the time but occasionally visited the
theatre. One day he noticed the worn
place Oh the curtain, and, asking the
cause ne was told that the Irishman
always bowed when he finished his an
nouncing. The manager thought to
break him of the habit, so arming him
self with long needle, he took his stand
behind the curtain, when the Irishman
went out to make his speech. Pat
cleared his throat and began as usual:
Program for tomorrow night-same-
asst night-no-c hange-in-a line. Miss
pple-premier-d dancer -Howly Mu-
ther I'll murder tn man thot done it,"
And the manager had to run for his
life, and after that used printed pro-
grams.

DEATH OF DWIGHT |. MOODY.

It is rather an extreme statement,
perhaps, but it is undoubtedly true that
no man now living has accomplished
so much good work during his life as
had the late Dwight L. Moody Aside
from his sermons and sayings, it was,
after all, largely his personal work
among humanity here and abroad that
gave him the credit of having a greater
range Of influence perhaps than any
other man of his time. His sincerity
and his manliness were always to the
front. He said what he meant without
fear or favor. Although his character
was so large and strong, no one could
be kinder. gentler or more tender in
what he did and said He had love
for little children, delighted to be with
them and they all loved him. He was
always very generous, not only in his
time and efforts, but in his gifts of
money. No better evidence of this was
ever given thar in his refusal to re-
ceive nearly half a million of dollars
resulting from the sale of the Moody
and Sankey gospel songs. He was de-
termined that that money should be
given to the cause of religion.
Broadminded in all his views, lacking
a liberal education as that phrase is
used, yet travelling. study and hard
work had given him a broad educa-
tor which left no room for small or
dogmatic ideas. Moody's most notable
short sermon was this, 'God has no
use for a man who has no hope" Ger
tainly his own life was an exempliflca-
ton of his belief in this respect. He
was always hopeful and courageous
and no obstacle was too great for him
to overcome. His firm belief was that
the only cure in the world for evil was
the gospel of Christ
Mr.. Moody is one of the very few men
in the religious world of whom thou
sands of young clergymen throughout
America can say from their heart of
hearts: He was the best friend II
ever had"
