Report
Vice President HObart in a Hopeless
COnditiOn-Other Int resting
News Items.

President Mckinley, Secretary Hay.
and Secretary Root spent an hour in
conference with the m. mbers of the
Philippine Commission-Admira Dew
ey, Prof Schurman, Col DENLY and Prof.
Worcester, at the White House, during
which the members of the Commission
gave verbal outline of their prelimi
nary report on the Philippines. At the
close of the conference President Nc
kinlay requested the Commissioners to
put their preliminary report in writing
at once, in order that it may be made
public. The report will be- unanimous
in recommending that the United States
retain the Philippines permanently, as
essential to the commercial develop
meDt of the islands and the extension of
American commerce in the far East; it
will also show that this government is
not responsible for the beginning of hos
tilities with the Filipinos and at no time
could we have honorably withdrawn
from the islands after occupying Va
nila. The President is naturally pleased
that the opinions OF the members of the
commission should be id-ntically those
held by himself, which have been the
basis of his policy in dealing with Phil
ippine matters, but he is not surprised,
because his position is the only logical
one tina, could have been taken under
the circumstances.
Since it became known in Washing
ton that Vice President Hobart's condi
tion was hopeless there have been many
expressions of sympathy and sorrow.
Mr.. Hobart had endeared himself to all
who came in contact with him as few
men in public life have done, and no
one has felt more saddened than Presi
dent Mckinley, who loves Mr.. Hobart
as brother. Since his illness took
dangerous turn, hourly bulletins have
been received at the White House. 1t is
no disrespect to Hobart that there should
be much talk in Washington of his sue
cessor as presiding officer of the Senate.
In little more than month Congress
will meet, and the first duty of the SEN
ate will be to elect president pro tenn
pore to preside over its meetings. Sen.
ator Frye, having previously held the
position and proved himself q model
presiding officer, the opinion is general
that he will be elected, unless he declines
the honor, which his friends do not ex
expect him to do.

The electric light plants
books show that since the
town took charge of the plant,
the 1st of February, there has
been a saving to the town of
$50 per month. If this saving
can be kept up (and the mana

seem that there would be any
necessity of an extra tax, as
some believe, in case the bonds
are voted for the purchase of
the plant by the town, but that,
on the other hand, it would be
a paying investment.

and assumed that the crime was i'm
probable. Unfortunately the weight OF
evidence is that SAM HOSE was guilty I;
and, whatever brutality OF punishment
was inflicted upon him, his defenders do
not do a service TO their race by cavlllng
at facts which may seem too terrible to be-
leve but are not too terrible to be true.
No matter how many acts OF injustice,
how many causeless outrages, how many
political crimes against the negroes have
been done by the whites. there is one dread
ful crime to which the Southern negro OF
the savage type is prone Unless the
testimony OF the Southern whites is to be
fatty set aside, the crime Is not regarded
by the Southern negroes with adherence
enough To induce them to lie active I'm
bringing the criminal to justice. Thus the
Northern apologist denies the crime; the
Southern negroes, as class, show no repro
baton Of II. Whatever be the faults OF
the Southern whites and to whatever ex-
cesses OF savagery they may have been
led in the panic OF n terror which hnunts
their homes, they are not to be blamed
for being dissatisfied with the general
apathy OF the Southern negro with the
general denial and denuncation which are
the answer OF the Northern negro when
some negro ravlsher is lynched
II is for the Southern negroes and the
Northern negroes to admit incontro-
vertible facts, to try to civilize and
Christianize the desperadoes who dishonor
tho race, to show no sympathy, active or
passive, with the crime. 1t may he said,
indeed, that this is sometimes only pre-
tence and that innocent men have been
hanged for ii. Granted but at least the
colored citizens can strive to diminish the
number of the guilty.
Stern condemnation OF the crime, refusal
to shield the criminals, the inculcation not
Of mere emotional lsentimentalism iniscalled
religion, but Of the pure morality Of the
Gospel and cooperation with the whites,
to maintain the laws and to promote the
good Of the community; these things the
colored citizens everywhere ought to en-
courage and strive for. The Newman col
ored ministers speak as good citizens, good
friends OF their race and OF the country.
Their example should be followed.

Methodist Church in Newman, Ga, the scene
of the lynching OF SAM HOSE, some reso-

Especially noteworthy among those reso-
lutions are these:
We ooudome no 'rime-neither do we wish to

We have no toleratipn for criminals who commit
crime aud heap disaster upon our lace:

ty of the home and destroy the priceless virtue OF

We believe the Gospel of the Son Of Con and tho
teachings of the sacred Scriptures by His servants
will do more to check lawlessness and crime than
any other agcn,y."
Finally, the Newman coored ministers
"call upon their teachers and ministry to
lay aside their petty iealousies OF Church
and race and link their efforts with those
of the white race to hold up the majesty of
the law, to increase the industry and com
mcrrc OF their country, that peace and
prosperity may abound in its borders"

the criminal is abett"d by members Of his

The Troubles I'm Cuba.

Once more there is serious discomfort
among some officers ofthe Cuban Army over
the policy Of our Government, the question
involved being the conditions of the pay
ment OF the So, 600, 900 to the Cuban sol.
diers. Our Havana dispatches show an
effort to set aside the stipulation that
those who receive { he allotment of SO per
man shall then and there turn in their arms
and equipment as part OF the transaction.
1t appears that when this condition was
made known through the island some
Cuban soldiers resented IL ns dishonor-
able" and that all tho Cuban officers
appointed to aid ours in the distribution
have. on one ground or another, refused to
serve.
The agreement drawn up by Gems.
BROOKE and GOMEZ expressly provided for
turning in the arms and equipments. That,
In fact, was for us one OF the main consider
ations on which it was founded. Our Govern
ment saw that the first requisite to the res
toration Of peace and order under its au-
thority was the disbandment Of the Cuban
Army, and that the turning in OF its arms
and equipments would be token OF good
faith in disbandment. To find anything
dishonorable" in this is absurd When
our own troops are mustered out, they do
not find their rifles and equipments treated
as their individual possessions. All we ask
OF the Cubans is what we require Of our own
troops, and what accords with the usage Of
military nations.
1t can be understood that some soldiers
might like their arms as keepsakes that
others might want them for their CONNER
cial value, as additions to the $75 OF pay {;
but to find anything humiliating in the
condition is preposterous. Our Govern
ment properly assumed that since in a
genuine disbandment the arms would no
longer be needed, il was only Just to exact
their delivery when ii furnished the pay
for which otherwise the soldier would have
to wait long time and this. too, might
help to remove temptation to lawlessness
from the more reckless.
Evidently some Of the Cubans would like
both to eat their cake and have it. They
want the pay. but apparently don't like to
disarm and disband; indeed, the project at
tributed to Gen. GOMEZ TO form Cuban
militia under him might be a partial con-
tinuation of the army. But all that is for
later consideration. When the will OF all
the people OF Cuba can be made known,
the question OF a Cuban militia or all armed
rural police for all the provinces can come
up. But just now, while the island is under
military authority that authority rrlst be
ours, and the very first step is the disband-
ment and disarming Of the Cuban troops.
However, the present case seems no
worse than when the Cuban Assembly made
trouble few months ago and a union Of
tact frankness and flrmness should again
as AT that time. solve all difficulties.

IawtOn'S Advance.

While ACT INALDO either to gain time or
with a real desire to max" terms, has sent
another messenger To G"n. OTIS, tn" troops
OF LAwTON are quietly pushing forward to-
ward the inSurgent line of retreat. From
Balinag LAwroNs column WAS moved upon
Naasin, from Maasin to san Ildcfonso, and
from San Ildefonso to San Miguel, while
yesterday it started from San Miguel to-
ward San Isidro, so that ii il many miles
northeast OF the insnrgcnt force confront
ing MACARTHUR around San Fernando.
Accordingly. should it now turn west
ward 1t would come in upon the iu,urgcnt
line OF retreat at Mount Arayat near the
junction Of the Rio Grandr and the Caico,
and indeed could easily put itself in the rear
OF Mount Arayat, which AGuISALDo may
have intrenched. But LAwToS may keep
OH to San Isidro, which is above Mount
Arayat on the same river and SO still more
effectually plant himself across the insul
gent line OF retreat. Such move might
well spread dsmay among AGuINALDos fol-
lowers, since San Isidro is understood to
be their present seat Of government,
adopted since the retreat from MalolOs.
Should AGU1NALDo swing back TO the rail-
road line OF retreat, LAwToN could also con-
tinue westward from San Isidro, and in any
case the situation Of MAsCARDO and the
Bacolor garrison on the railroad Is already
compromised. 1t is noteworthy that MAC
ARTHUR, at last accounts, remained in San
Fernando, apparently satisfied not TO push
the enemy there until LAwToN's ianking
move should be completed
The march OF LAwroN in the interior is
bold, but he Is used to such marches. He
