THE intervention Of the United
States in the Philippines" he said, ''is
an act of the providence of God. We
have received a God given trust. 1t is
our duty to take up the white mans
burden and to show the effete mon
arches of Europe that when it comes
to enlightening the heather and up
lifting humanity the United States are
in the van. This is the reason and
the justification for the interference of
the United States in the Philippines. y
On most occasions the Rev. DIR. Jacob
Voorsanger is wrapped in mantel of
self-restraint He seldom gives ex-
preston to emphatic opinions if he has
any, but it seems that the reverend
gentleman entertains, on his own ac-
count, some very pronounced ideas on
the white mans burden. They are not
in accord with those of Professor How
ison. although in matters philosophic
the two gentlemen are more frequently
in accord than in disagreement.
When Professor Howison saw in the
conquest of the Philippines the direct
act of God the Rev. DR.. Voorsanger
made caustic reply. He is unable to
see God anywhere in the affair and
more than that he does not believe that

keener than his own. He cannot bring

"They can do all the talking they

These words alone would make John
Garber's breakfast famous. Hunting
ton resumed his seat and received the
tribute of marked applause. The gen
tlemen at the board were becoming en-
thusiastic. Even John CARRIER forgot
his staid dignity as host and applauded
with frequent Interruptions of ap-

seriously at breakfast questions Of bar
ter and sale.
Professor LIE Conte opened the dis
cussion. In eloquent seriousness the
aged scholar argued against the theory
of Americas expansion. America s
destiny, the speaker said. is not in the
direction of the Philippine Islands.
There is something more in American
ideals than commerce and commercial
success, and the honored professor of
Berkeley hoped that American states
men will realize this before it is too
late to return to firmer ground than
that upon which they now stand. The
polished eloquence of Professor LIE
Conte may have been the inspiration
for the enthusiasm of the subsequent
discussion which reached a most un-
expected climax in a personal debate
between Professor Howison and Rabbi
Voorsanger.
Professor Jordan followed Professor
LIE Conte in the argument, and with the
success with which he attacks any sub
ject, acquitted himself well to the salts
faction Of his hearers. Professor Jor-
dan argued against expansion, as he is
sincerely of the opinion that the white
man has troubles of his own, without
taking unto himself those Of the brown
men.

in the Philippines.
The breakfast began with cocktails
and ended with a divided sentiment
that the white men of the West should
take up the burden of the brown men
of the East. Strange as ii may seem
decided efforts have been made to keep
the incident Of the CARRIER breakfast a
secret Why this should have been
done no one seems to know except it
be that such master spirits as John
CARRIER drew to his breakfast board
wish modestly to conceal their thoughts
upon great themes from. the inspection
and discussion of the vulgar public.

VICTORIA, B. c., April 17.-Late
Chinese papers say news comes from
I,anchou, capital Of Kansu province,
that the Mohammedan communities to
the northwest of the city-known as
the Salah Mussulmans, the most saw
age and bigoted of that faith in the
Chinese dominions-have rebelled. The
green sacred banner of the prophet has
been unfurled by their Akhoon or chief
Mullah. and the word passed to all the
Mohammedan townships in Kansu.

war to the knife upon the Buddhist un-
believers.

among the Tunganis (Chinese Moham-
medans) and Tarantchis in Kuldja and
Turks in Kashgaria.
A later dispatch from Viceroy Tao OF
Kansu has been received at Peking, re-
porting the massacre of over thirty
Chinese Buddhists by rebel Salah Mo-
hammedans. A general conflagration is
feared with the return of warm weather
in April or May, when communication
becomes easier, unless a strong army
is assembled in Kansu.
The Viceroy complained Of the with
drawal to Peking of Generals Tung

best troops, whose sanguinary battles
of the past twenty years against the
Mohammedans have made them greatly

for money and markets, and for no
other reason in the world, and Professor
Howison knows it"
The closing remark Of the reverend
gentleman provoked most heated and
somewhat personal discussion between
Professor Howison and DR.. Voorsanger.
There was a series of explanations, a
renewal of all sorts of good fellowship
and an agreement that the white mans
burden would not again become the
personal concern Of those present. In
the argument Mr.. Foote remarked that
if any of the gentlemen who seemed to
be SO personally interested found the
white mans burden too heavy on their
side of the table they could transfer it
and it's obligations to him.
Whitelaw Reid then made a
few remarks, but discreetly dealt
in generalities that were not
glittering. His experience as a
diplomat abroad probably made him
discreet Then there was a call for

NO CALL FOR MORE
VOLUNTEERS AT PRESENT

CHICAGO, April IA special TO the
Inter Ocean from it's Washington cor
respondent, who is a close personal
friend of President Mckinley, which
fact leads to the belief that the article
was inspired at the White House, says:
The President has not changed his
mind about. calling for more troops. He
decided six weeks ago that he would
not organize the provisional army of
35 900 men unless he found it absolutely
necessary. He has been often urged to
organize this force, but only by those
who wish places in the army. General
Otis has not asked for more troops in
the Philippines, and Secretary Alger
found no necessity for a large force in
Cuba and Porto Rico
There has at no time been any diff
Guilty in eniisting men for the Philip
pines. All regiments ordered to Manila
have been filed without effort on the
part Of recruiting officers. The War
Department has received no demand
for releases from volunteers in the
Philippines. General Otis reports the
volunteers with him are willing to re-
main as long as there is fighting to be
done. The War Department has re-
ceived nothing from Manila to contra
dict this statement.
The news from Manila that the
Filipinos have moved their so-called
capital still further north to Tarlac con
firms former advices that Aguinaldo's
forces are disintegrating Their capital
is nothing but military headquarters.
It's removal is confession Of waning
power.
There is no occasion for alarm over
the situation in the Philippines. The
rebellion is confined to the Tagal tribe
of LuZon. The administration holds
that the Tagals must be handled in the
only way which has been found sue
cessful with other semi civilized tribes
The President is not worried over tba
situation in the Philippines. He he
lieves the Schurman Commission will
be able to accomplish much in aid Of
the army. Unless better reasons are
forthcoming than have hitherto been
advanced there will be no call for

INSURGENTS HAVE
REITERATED TO TARLAC

MANILA, April 1.-THE Filipino seat
of government, which since the capture
of Malolos has been at San Fernando,
province Of Pampanga, has been re
moved to Tarlac, in the province of the
same name. Tarlac province is the
next north of Pampanga. Tarlac town
is seventy three miles from Manila
San Fernando is only forty-seven
miles. The removal of the Filipino
headquarters is practically retreat on
the part of the insurgents. They are
evidently preparing to abandon Pam
panga province.
The American troops at Calumpit
have been reinforced, and movements
TO the north against the rebels are eX
pected. General Lawton's expedition
to the eastern shore of Laguna de Bal,
having accomplished its purpose, has
been disbanded.
A board has been appointed to deter
mine the validity of claims for dam
ages incident to military operations,
which are being negotiated by foreign
Consuls at Iloilo and Manila. Lieuten-
ant Colonel Crowder, judge advocate
general Of the department, is president
of the board.

JOHN CARRIER IS HOST AT
A REMARKABLE BREAKFAST

There was murmur of gratifled sur
prise when c. P. Huntington gracious
ly consented to discuss the theme of the
afternoon. Everybody present raised
his glass and drank in acknowledge
ment of the magnate's condescension.
c. P. Huntington was in a pleasant
mood. More than that, he was candid.
He made an announcement that is of
rational interest. He assured his hear
ers that he never does anything for his
health, which is surprising in one of his
age, and that when he makes move he
knows what he is after 1t was not
generally noticed that at this remark
George Crocker again drank the old
mans health.
Huntington announced himself en-
phatically in favor of expansion and on
the American possession of the Philip
pines. If we behave ourselves, Hunt
ington says that in two or three years
he may be building railroads in the
Philippines. That there might be no
mistake in reference to his meaning,
and that mis- bluntness might not be
misconstrued. the old railroad magnate
spoke from notes.
Gentlemen" he said, II believe that
expansion is good thing for the com
mercial interests of this country.
believe in snatching everything in
sight"
George Crocker again raised his glass
to his lips and Huntington continued:

ber of years and 1 find that it pays far
better than conservatism. Expansion

This constant suggestion to grab
everything in sight seemed to have a
depressing effect upon George Crocker.
AS might have been expected, Pro-
fessor George Howison agreed in opin-
ion with D. o. Mills. 1t will be remem-
bered, perhaps, that D. o. Mills is re-
sponsible for the chair of philosophy
which Professor Howison so creditably
fills at Berkeley.
When Professor Howison arose to
speak there fell upon the feasters 81

of the distinguished scholar. Professor
Howison sees in the intervention of the
