GIVEN A BAD CHARACTER.
Allegation Made That the United Slater
Has $4,000 "Drunkards, Rakes and
Gamblers" Around Manila.

New York, Oct. IA Mr.. Peyton
army secretary of the Brotherhood o
st. Andrew, a Protestant Episcopal SO
ciety, who has just returned from &
stay Of six months in the Philippines
declares that the United States has A,
600 "drunkards, rakes and gamblers
in and around Manila, and that re
ligious progress is quite out of thu
question while American soldiers are
there. He says the Roman Catholic
priests have made up with the Taga'
los and are losing no time and sparinp
no money to tell the Filipinos that the
Americans now in Manila, who have
made that city what Mr.. Peyton calls
a hell hole" are fair specimens Of
Protestant civilization.
Mr.. Peyton visited five Of the islands
and had exceptional opportunities OF
observation. He is an ex-soldier, hav.
ing seen service in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, and having served at Montauk
while the convalescent camp was there.
In the course Of an interview he said:
Without qualifying exceptions, the Ia.
galos are the most moral and most re-.
ligious people ever saw, but they are mere
children In ability TO govern themselves,
1t would never do, in my judgment, for the
United States to abandon them. The Taga.
los could not hope to control the other principal
races Of the island and there would result a lot
Of petty states too weak to take care OF them
selves and too ignorant and prejudiced to join
In one united state.

CHICAGO'S FESTIVAL.

the Presence of Vast ThrOng -Electric
Light Decorations Beautiful.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-With music, streams
of light and patriotic enthusiasm Chi
cago's fall festival was formally opened
yesterday evening in the presence Of a
vast throng. At six o'clock the cords
binding the banners lining both sides
of the court of honor were cut and %,
900 yards of red and white bunting
were released. Ten minutes later the
festOons connecting the Venetian
masts, decorated with 1l,0OOincandes-

and State street between Van Buren,
and Lake streets presented brilliant
picture. At eight o'clock a promenade
concert was given at Madison and State
streets The court of honor was
packed with an immense throng Of
curious sightseers until midnight.
The electric light decorations on
State street are beyond anything in
that line ever attempted in Chicago,
and although not all Of them were in
order last night, the effect was beauti-
full. The evening concerts and illu-
mination will comprise the festival pro-
gramme until the arrival Of President
Mckinley on Saturday night, when the
first parade, that Of the bicyclists, will
be held.
